Shi Lingheng put the water ladle back and looked at Ruan Jiu with a cold laugh.
Ruan Jiu unconsciously touched her nose, feeling a little guilty under that gaze. When she heard Shi Lingheng's next words, she was about to explode.
"Can't you speak properly? Do you want to get beaten up? Heh..."
Ruan Jiu snorted, glanced at Wen Yuennan over there, and said, "Do you need my help...?"
Shi Lingheng wiped the water from the corner of his mouth and shook his head: "No need. A self-righteous fool is nothing special."
Ruan Jiu felt a little regretful. She had originally planned to make this grandson owe her a favor, but who knew that even in this situation, he still acted as if everything was under his control.
"I ran into Fan Xiaofan and your nephew at the post office. Your nephew is really lucky; he looks like he's being taken very well by that young lady."
Shi Lingheng's lips curled up: "Did you come all this way just to spout nonsense?"
Ruan Jiu coughed, finally getting to the point with slightly unfocused eyes: "I had someone investigate, and this young lady is quite remarkable; many people are eyeing her now..."
Shi Lingheng recalled when he first came to Xiangyang Brigade, Grandpa Niu would boast as he drove the cart, spending most of the time praising Fan Xiaofan in various ways...
At that time, he was a little curious, but when he met her in person, he was quite surprised. The girl was completely different from the serious and rigid scientific researcher he had imagined. Instead, she was more like a lucky cat. If you teased her, she would run far away, and from time to time she would even dare to test your bottom line.
Speak like a human being!
Shi Lingheng was decisive and efficient.
Ruan Jiu cleared her throat: "I heard that she is developing a new gadget recently. I am quite interested. You know that the factory I have is now state-owned, but I am still nominally in charge. The factory produces those low-tech things day after day, year after year. I am also thinking about finding a new way out."
"So, could you put in a good word for me? With her connections, she must have already made some connections. If possible, could she put in a good word for me and get this to my factory over there?"

Fan Xiaofan was unaware that the washing machine she had invented to avoid housework was now being eyed by someone, who was currently busy pulling strings and using connections...
The washing machine in the hallway rumbles away all day long, and the residents here are gradually getting used to it. After they've been using it for a while, Fan Xiaofan specifically asked for their opinions, wanting to know what improvements they urgently need.
The new parts had been produced, and that day she was assembling them in a workshop that Factory Director Fang had vacated, with the help of Master Wang and others.
In fact, Master Wang and others said...
Fan Xiaofan could have handled it all by himself, but he still came over under the pretext of asking for their help. Everyone knew that it was because Xiaofan was open-minded and willing to share.
In this day and age, who wouldn't want to learn another skill?
You might not even get such an opportunity even if you beg and plead...
This made the people in the technical office even more grateful to Fan Xiaofan. They were already a group of men protecting him, and now they wanted to spoil him rotten.
The improved washing machine is a significant advancement over the original model. Compared to washing machines made in Japan today, it is more powerful yet quieter, and it also features a spin-drying function.
Master Wang and the others stared wide-eyed, scratching their heads and saying, "We never imagined there could be machines for washing clothes. We never thought of that before."
"People abroad really know how to live frugally; they've invented something that can save them a lot of work..."
