Xing Baohua left work early and went to the repair shop first. He promised Su Ya that he would meet her there and take her home.
Liu Quan agreed to join, which pleased him greatly, as they were short-handed at the time. There were no job openings or professionals available at that time.
Even college graduates are assigned to work units; they would rather go to places with poor conditions than choose a village-run enterprise like yours.
If you want to find talented or capable people, you can only train them yourself or poach them. Poaching people is very costly, and you may not be able to find the right people.
Liu Quan is one of our own, so we trust him. He's technically skilled and low-key. If he's properly trained, he'll be capable of handling things independently.
Upon arriving at the repair shop, Niu Jishan said, "Hua Zi, I always feel that the wooden boards are too thick! How about trying sheet metal?"
“The sheet metal needs to be stamped. Even if it’s not stamped, the edges and corners still need to be hammered out,” Xing Baohua said after thinking for a moment.
“Then I’ll go to the factory and try to find some sheet metal,” Niu Jishan said.
"Let's not bother with that. Just use the planks. This is for our own use, not for sale. Keep it simple." Xing Baohua said, walking over to a pile of discarded planks, picking through them, and then shaking his head.
The two unfinished computers are still missing a lot of parts. To get them all, I either have to modify them myself or buy them. Modifying them is just a thought.
Xing Baohua can't afford floppy drives and cassette tapes right now. Even if he uses parts from the factory's computers as a reference, he might not be able to replicate them. The main problem is that he doesn't know where to get some small parts; making them himself is practically the same as developing something from scratch.
Then I guess I'll have to buy it. Anyway, I'm going to the provincial capital with Director Wang in the next couple of days, so I'll ask Sun Changjie or Zhang Xuebao where they sell them.
Despite the disgusting things the provincial computer company has done, they are still friends with Zhang Xuebao. We need to keep things separate and clear about what's going on.
After Suya finished get off work, the two strolled along the street, walking slowly amidst the rolling traffic.
"I haven't seen a movie in ages, want to come with me to a movie?" Su Ya said, linking her arm with Xing Baohua's.
Xing Baohua pondered for a moment, realizing that they hadn't really enjoyed their time together since they started dating.
However, it felt like something was resisting inside me. Yes, it was resisting.
He was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself and would end up taking advantage of the beautiful girl in front of him.
Eating is simple. There are many ways to do it, whether through language or other means, but what about the consequences?
Yes, what Xing Baohua was resisting was the consequences; he was new to this world and not used to it. He walked cautiously, step by step, constantly on edge because of the dangers around him, but fortunately, he had already regained his footing.
With a slight turn of her head, she replied, "Okay, tonight then."
Suya happily tightened her grip on his arm.
Xing Baohua turned at the intersection and took Su Ya to a restaurant.
After dinner, the two returned to the factory club.
The factory club was originally called the Machinery Factory Auditorium. I don't know who changed it to the factory club.
The factory holds important meetings or performances here; it's a large hall that can accommodate more than 500 people.
We usually show movies or something. If you don't want to watch a movie, you can go to the small hall next door to dance. The small hall was originally used for presentations.
Xing Baohua confessed his feelings to Su Ya in the small hall back then. I don't know where that guy got the courage.
There were fewer people watching the movie today. Xing Baohua looked at the sign at the entrance and saw that it read "The Yellow Handkerchief of Happiness," which was the title of the movie that was going to be shown.
The two-cent movie ticket made Xing Baohua think about how Director Wang wanted to make a movie with three million yuan, and how many tickets would he need to sell to make that money back?
Actually, the box office revenue can be recouped, but it's unclear whose pocket the money will end up in.
Back then, the movie "Shaolin Temple" cost only one cent per ticket, yet it grossed 100 million yuan at the box office.
This is a miracle, an unimaginable number.
How much do the production company get? A pitifully small amount.
After getting his ticket checked and entering the room, the ticket checker seemed to recognize Xing Baohua and even winked at him.
He ignored it, since Xing Baohua didn't know him anyway.
Xing Baohua only recognized the main character's name when the movie started. He had never seen this movie before, nor had he seen any of the other movies starring the same actor. However, he had seen a short clip of the same actor, and the background music was the theme song from that movie.
The music throughout can be summed up in one word: "la" and "ah".
The theme song accompanies the protagonist as he keeps running, dodging, and running.
Yes, that movie is called "Manhunt," and there's even a dialogue on the rooftop: "Jump! Run! Du Qiu, why don't you jump!"
As for "The Yellow Handkerchief of Happiness," Xing Baohua hasn't seen it. Su Ya, on the other hand, seems to be enjoying it immensely.
The two held hands the whole time. If there hadn't been a handrail in the middle that prevented them from getting up, Xing Baohua believed Su Ya would have been even closer.
At this moment, Su Ya's small hand clenched slightly tighter. Xing Baohua, who was lost in thought, felt the power and turned his head to look at her.
Her breathing became slightly rapid, and she lowered her head, no longer focusing on the movie.
Xing Baohua followed her gaze to the front row, where two dark heads were pressed together as if they were biting each other.
Yes, it's gnawing on something.
"This is so rude! How can someone behave like this in a public place? It's outrageous, Suya. Maybe we should learn from them." Just moments before, she was indignant, but then she changed her tone, making the slightly shy Suya laugh.
He laughed so hard his chest trembled, and then Su Ya playfully hit him again. He heard a soft "You're so annoying!"
Su Ya's face flushed slightly. Her small hand trembled slightly as she held it.
Seeing this, Xing Baohua simply pulled her close, without making any further moves. If it weren't for the armrest in the middle, they might have been able to find a more comfortable position to hold each other.
