Chapter 139

Business mutual praise

mining area.

District government compound.

On the upper floor of He Lanshan's house.

The house has two bedrooms and a living room, and every room is filled with Bao Manli's clothes.

"I tell you, Bao Manli, that's enough. Chen Lina is the factory director. Even if she achieves results, all of them will be yours. Why do you have to get rid of her? Just because this time when you went back to Beijing, you couldn't seduce Lao Nie despite your good dealings?" Leng Qi sat on the sofa in Bao Manli's house, playing with a lighter.

Bao Manli was sitting in front of the dressing table, removing her makeup. "Leng Qi, I, Bao Manli, am the principal in the song and dance troupe. Even if I retire and move to a higher level, I will never play a supporting role to others."

She still remembered how Chen Lina stole the limelight from her.

"Oh, I remember that when you wanted to dance, you would personally make your dancers look ugly if they were too pretty. You have a very bossy personality."

"There is a woman named Anna in Base No. 1. She is quite capable and not outstanding. She is now being transferred to our woolen textile factory as a cashier. I want to promote her to be the factory director. She is more honest than Chen Lina and easier to manage. What do you think?" Bao Manli said.

Leng Qi came to Bao Manli to relieve his boredom because he had just been rejected by Anna.

When he heard that Bao Manli was also talking about Anna, he was so angry that he put out his cigarette and said, "Manli, we are classmates and we finally sit together. Can you please stop talking about other women?"

Bao Manli smiled and said, "You always come to visit me, why don't you invite me to visit you and introduce me to some of your comrades in the Armed Forces."

"Don't try to find out our military secrets. Let's just be friends, Bao Manli. You are not a commercial spy for foreigners, are you? If you are, I will shoot you to death."

"What's wrong, Leng Qi, aren't you half black and half white yourself? Have you been brainwashed by Chen Lina to make yourself both famous and professional?"

"I just asked if you have any?"

"No, how could I do that?" Bao Manli had seen Leng Qi get angry before. For example, Ma Xiaofang seemed so arrogant outside, but if Leng Qi really made her angry, he would torture her on the bed without her having to do anything.

It's not the pleasurable kind, it's real torture. Don't be fooled by the handsome appearance of this man, he has a black heart.

"The Republic was built by my father's generation with swords and guns. It doesn't matter if we live a better life, but I will not sell out state assets and secrets. This is my bottom line. Okay, I see that we are not on the same page, so I won't talk any more. I'm leaving now."

Leng Qi said this as he swaggered out of Bao Manli's house.

On the way, I met a wild dog that was gnawing on a bone. Leng Qi stepped over and thought to himself, what an annoyed person! I'm going to find Anna again. I am just a dog.

Having said this, he kicked the wild dog and went back to the armed forces in a huff.

After returning from the farm, the worker observed carefully and found that his wife was really unhappy.

The three children were playing and making noise in the back, and Miss Chen was looking out the window with a frown on her face.

From time to time, I sigh.

"Mom, I caught fifty voles today and exchanged them for five big pumpkins for you." Sandan said while brushing his teeth.

"Good job. Tomorrow I will make pumpkin dumplings and pumpkin sweet almond soup noodles for you. Let's eat pumpkin every day, okay?" Mom was so gentle.

"Then can I sleep with you tonight? I want to sleep between you and daddy because your balls are cold and my stomach hurts." Sandan touched his stomach, pretending to be very convincing.

This means that you must compete with your father for affection and drive him out of your mother's territory.

"No, Nie Weijiang. First of all, you are eight years old. A child of this age cannot sleep with adults. Besides, Chen Lina is my lover first, and your mother second. She will not sleep with you. Go back to the small bedroom." Nie Gong said, and got on the kang.

Sandan looked at her with tears in his eyes, and even wanted to act coquettishly, but his mother didn't even look up. "Go, Sandan, Mommy really can't sleep with you anymore."

Sandan left with a pout and tears.

The worker had scolded his son during the day, and seeing the child crying with tears in his eyes, he felt a little bit sorry for him, so he prepared to go over and comfort him.

Just as he was about to get off the bed, Chen Lina called him back, "This is just like weaning. If you want to be strong, you have to be strong all the way. I just sent him away with a cold face. If you try to coax him again, he will definitely make trouble again tomorrow. Go to bed quickly."

The laborer is very happy.

It is true that children cannot get used to things, especially when it comes to matters of principle. Nie Weijiang has to be tough with them, otherwise they will become more difficult to control as they grow older.

Just as he got on the kang, his crotch made a crackling sound. When the worker lowered his head, his underwear was exposed.

"He Min, you are really bad at quality control. The cloth produced by the farm is of poor quality. It fades and tears easily. Ms. Chen, please open the woolen textile factory as soon as possible. The streets of the mining area are now full of people wearing torn pants. Many people thought they had skin diseases and their whole bodies were black, but they went to the health center and found that it was just clothing dyeing."

As Nie Gong spoke, he surrounded Miss Chen. "But I still need to know one thing, which is why you are always unhappy recently. If you have anything, you can tell me. I don't have much energy to devote to your life and help you take care of the children, but you have to believe that I can even shoot down a plane from the sky. If there is really a big problem, there is nothing I can't do, so don't worry about it alone, okay?"

The worker who can shoot down a plane from the sky is now 36 years old.

Many people of his age have wrinkles at the corners of their eyes and look like old people.

The laborer eats sand every day, turns the winch, kneels on the ground and kowtows while repairing the machine, but he doesn't look his age. I have to say, he is a very handsome boy with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes.

"1976 was a year of disasters and hardships for our country. Not to mention the death of several leaders, you know, first there was the sun being eaten by a dog, and then there was a meteorite shower.

The worst thing is that there was a big earthquake in Tangshan, and countless people died. I know these things, but I also know that human power can't change anything, and I know you have a strong sense of responsibility, so I don't want to tell you. "

It's not a pleasant feeling to watch many people die and be unable to do anything about it.

However, can such a thing be changed by one person or a few people? Chen Lina thinks not.

You know, the Tangshan earthquake killed more than 200,000 people, but if she were to tell someone about these things now, I'm afraid people would think she was crazy.

And she has no power to change it, how can she be happy?

"A major earthquake that killed more than 200,000 people?" Nie Gong was really stunned.

"Do you know the exact time?" he asked Chen Lina again.

"I was preparing to divorce Nie Guozhu at that time, and went to Hongyan. I only remember that the earthen walls of my house were collapsed, but I don't remember the exact date." After all, it was far away, and information did not spread very quickly at that time.

More importantly, she is no longer a student and will not remember the specific date of such a test.

"Okay, with me here, everything will change. Tomorrow, write down everything you know and remember, as detailed as you can, on a piece of paper. I promise to help you change everything. Okay?"

"Can you stop an earthquake?" Chen Lina was overjoyed.

"Your husband doesn't have the ability to stop the shifting of the Earth's plates, but I think I can still prevent casualties."

"Don't go around shouting that there's going to be an earthquake and asking everyone to move out."

You know, if you say that, people will definitely think you are a lunatic with an inappropriate brain.

"You don't need to worry about these things. Oh, I used to think Erdan was stupid, and I always disliked him in my heart. Now I see that he is the kindest, most enthusiastic, and most simple-hearted. He is really a good boy." Nie Gong said sincerely.

Seeing that his wife remained silent and feeling a little guilty, the worker took the initiative to confess.

"A few years ago, I went to Beijing. Since I was in a hurry, I asked Bao Manli to buy the plane ticket for me. After I went there, I didn't see her. But when we came back, we came back together. You just asked a few questions about this?" he said?

Miss Chen was about to fall asleep. She curled her lips and curled up in the worker's arms. She said, "I am such a good woman. Although I have worries from time to time, they are all for the overall situation. In my two lifetimes, I have never worried about men. Come and go as you like. I won't be sad about this kind of thing."

A woman like her can only be praised and pampered by men, who will praise her and compliment her, and she will sleep in sweet words all her life.

Miss Chen thought it was impossible to make her jealous of a man.

The couple chatted about some daily matters, and gradually fell asleep.

Of course, year after year, the Year of the Dragon of the Han people came, accompanied by the laughter of the three eggs, but also accompanied by the loneliness of Anna who quietly moved to the school dormitory and returned the base house to the oil field.

"Dad, are you going to take us to school today?" The next morning, when they were about to go to school, they saw the worker in a neat suit sitting in the driver's seat. The three eggs were stunned.

Chen Lina also said, "It's really strange. Your father always said he was too busy, but today he said he had time. Are you going to the woolen textile factory to accompany me for a day?"

"I am the leader of the management technology supervision team specially appointed by Secretary A. I will accompany you to work in the factory in the next few days. Fasten your seat belts, we have to go."

Chen Lina didn't believe it. "Really? How much does Secretary pay you per month?"

"If you don't give me money, I'll have to give you 36 yuan in change. I gave him two boxes of Chunghwa cigarettes that I treasured, and he agreed to put the laboratory work on hold and let me escort you until production is safe and the wool textile factory is back on track."

So, the team leader of the management technology supervision team actually went to work to accompany his wife.

Chen Lina wanted to scream out "Ahhh!" and thought to herself, "Oh my God, my worker is so so so romantic."

The operation of machines and the training of personnel had already started before the New Year.

Of course, the wool textile mills themselves now also produce fabrics.

Secretary A, He Lanshan, District Chief Hu and others are all at the woolen textile factory today. The red carpet is covered with footprints, and the office building is full of people.

As soon as Miss Chen entered the office, Xiaofang, a girl from the office, placed a bouquet of flowers on her desk.

"Who sent these flowers? They are so beautiful. Does Secretary Bao's office have them too?" Chen Lina asked with a smile.

Xiaofang smiled and said, "How could that be possible? Our team leader Nie specifically asked me to send this. He said that if you see this, you will be in a good mood."

The secretary and the director of the Wushi Woolen Textile Factory are both beauties, and they lead 800 female textile workers, all of whom are pretty girls selected from the inland areas. They are the "Three Eighth Women's Army", and now they are not only in the border areas, but also being praised by the higher-ups, saying that they have the most beautiful scenery in the entire republic.

"Hurry up and call the production manager He Min and the workshop directors. We need to meet with Secretary Bao and have a meeting." Chen Lina said as she began to organize the documents.

It feels great to be immersed in busy work on the first day of work.

"I'm afraid not." He Min came in hurriedly, clasping his hands together, as if he was praying to the Buddha. "I'm sorry, I'm guilty. The higher-ups are here and are waiting to talk to you. I don't know how Manli got it out that we had been selling fabrics and ready-made clothes to various places before the woolen textile factory opened. The higher-ups sent people here, and I guess they want to fire you."

Wow, I encountered such a big obstacle on my first day at work?

"Where is it?"

"The conference room on the third floor." He Min said.

Chen Lina went upstairs with her 30,000-word "Prospects Planning for the Woolen Textile Factory", various reports that she had forced the laborer to draw for her using his hands for experiments, and the future planning drawings for the woolen textile factory.

In fact, the Republic has always had a complete set of procedures for promoting cadres.

Before the ten years of turmoil, this set of procedures had been implemented in a very orderly manner. For example, one had to first serve as a reserve cadre, then go to Beijing to study, and only after completing the study could one take up the post.

It was not until the turmoil of the past decade that this set of procedures was abandoned. Now, that set of procedures has been activated again.

As soon as I left the office, I ran into Bao Manli.

"Lina, our woolen textile factory will have a meeting with various major organizations in a few days. Do you want to dance with us?" She was so enthusiastic and generous.

"I'm pregnant, so I probably can't dance. But I will applaud you from the audience." Chen Lina said, and she stepped over to Bao Manli and gave her a kiss. "Okay, I'll go upstairs and talk to the people upstairs. Can you go and inspect our workshops?"

Bao Manli also kissed Chen Lina back, "Okay, I'll wait for you, sister."

He Min followed behind Chen Lina, dumbfounded. "Have you women always been so hypocritical?"

"This is not called hypocrisy, this is called business mutual flattery, do you understand?" Chen Lina said, took a few steps up the stairs and went upstairs.

It's just a green tea bitch, it's as if everyone can act.

Miss Chen can be a strong woman and also a gentle and virtuous wife. She can manage a farm, let alone a woolen textile factory.

There was no other way, she had to let Bao Manli see what a real strong woman was, and then admire her from the bottom of her heart.

As for Nie Gong, he was inspecting the members of his technical supervision team.

The big machine had just started running and the staff were new to the job, so there were bound to be technical difficulties that they needed to overcome, so the laborers came to help.

"Comrade Xiao Yu, are you public security officers not busy these two days?" When Nie Gong saw that there was someone he knew, he naturally stepped forward and shook hands.

Yu Donghai did not wear a police uniform today. He wore an old 65th-century military uniform, a crew cut, and handsome red lips and white teeth. "The wool textile factory is short of staff, so the secretary went to the public security system to recruit people. I volunteered to help, and my main job is to teach the workers in the overhaul workshop how to repair machines."

"That's right, if our police officers all have a sense of public security, the mining area should be able to achieve zero crime." said Nie Gong.

As soon as I got to work, the task came.

"Bo Zhao, there is a problem with the roller carding machine in our coarse spinning workshop. Send someone to fix it right away." Yuan Hua, the director of the coarse spinning workshop, ran over and said.

"Second sister, you look really smart the way you are dressed." Nie Bozhao glanced at his second sister and said.

The uniform of the woolen textile factory, red shirt, white apron, white hat, looks good on any girl. Yuan Hua is pretty.

"Stop kidding. Who among you can repair the combing machine? Send me someone right away," said Yuan Hua.

This mining area is a good place. Divorced men are getting worse and worse, but divorced women are getting more radiant and more beautiful than each other.

Yu Donghai took the lead and said, "I'll go take a look."

Well, as soon as Dong Hai entered the woolen workshop, dozens of girls, all wearing large masks, immediately started to get excited. "Wow, this guy is so handsome, I wonder where he works?"

"I heard he is in the public security system. Who among you can make an effort to turn him into a member of our woolen textile factory?" said another.

The machines were humming, and the girls wearing masks were not afraid of being shy. They stared at Yu Donghai with their eyes wide open.

Yu Donghai was originally thin-skinned and shy. He was not nervous even when he was surrounded by forty wolves in the Alimu Forest Farm, but he was so scared by forty girls that his hands and feet were shaking.

After fiddling with it for a long time, the girls got anxious and asked, "Can he fix it?"

"I guess it's because there are so many girls here and they want to watch it for a while longer, so even if they know how to repair it, they have to say they can't." The girls were so sharp-tongued that they made Yu Donghai even less capable of repairing machines.

Well, feeling embarrassed and blushing, he rushed out of the door and rushed to Nie Bozhao like he was looking for help. "No, Nie Gong, I'd better wait until they get off work before I come to fix the machine. I can't stand these girls."

After all, the laborer is a veteran.

Moreover, he deliberately wanted to compete with Yu Donghai, so he patted his shoulder and went in.

"What's the problem?" he asked, standing in front of the machine with cotton wool flying all over the sky.

The girl in charge of the machine stammered when she saw a tall, gentle and handsome man in a suit and glasses coming in. "Well, no cotton will be put in, and there's always a clanging noise inside."

The worker raised his hand and said, "Yuan Hua, turn off all the machines and tell all the female workers to come here and listen to my explanation."

His familiarity with engineering and machines was such that even if he only saw the surface and heard the sounds, he could hear the operation of all the gears clacking in his mind.

Yuan Hua then shut down all the machines and summoned all the female workers to Nie Bozhao.

"This is a machine we imported from Japan. Although you can't read Japanese, the cotton input quantity is written in Chinese characters, so you should be able to understand it. Do you know what this carding machine means?"

The roar of the machines gradually slowed down, the cotton wool gradually settled, and the worker asked everyone.

The girls at the textile factory had all gone through a three-month training period, and several of them had even interned at the Hongyan Yimao Factory. One of them raised her hand and said, "It is mainly used to comb and transfer the cotton, and to make it uniform. To put it simply, it is to fluff the cotton."

The worker didn't smile and looked serious.

Moreover, he was wearing a well-ironed suit, looking very ceremonial, stylish and handsome. Standing in this workshop where cotton wool was flying, his age gave him dignity and a sense of exclusivity, and he had a mysterious aura.

Gradually, no one smiled anymore on the girls' faces. They were a little scared by his stern stare.

"You are right. Its main function is to comb the cotton. It is like eating rice. You have to eat it evenly. You can't feed it too much cotton at once just to increase production and surpass others. Of course, you can't just say you are too lazy and not feed it cotton. The cotton must be fed evenly and the large residue must be removed manually. You see, this combing machine has been fed too much cotton, and there are too many cotton leaves and branches mixed in the cotton, so it stopped."

As he said this, he opened the machine, and sure enough, it was full of stuck cotton.

Take it out, close it again, pull the power switch, the machine hums and starts turning again.

"What's the name of our team leader? He's so handsome, like a movie star." A little girl turned around and said to her neighbor, "We watched a movie secretly the day before yesterday. There were Zhang Lianwen and Li Shixi, but none of them were as handsome as our technical supervision team leader."

"That's our Director Chen's husband, our mining area's senior engineer, and National Advanced Worker Comrade Nie Bozhao. Do you know why you can stand here?" Yuan Hua passed by and said to the little girl, "In the past, this place was just a Gobi Desert. He led eight people, carrying hoes and dry grain to dig oil wells. Only then did we have today's mining area, a big city, and only then did you get fifty yuan a month. It's a good job. Why don't you hurry up and work for me?"

Several girls turned around at the same time, sticking out their tongues, not daring to speak.
