Chapter 226

Miss Chen's Tiffany

Leng Qi didn't say anything. The next person who came in was Chen Lina's current subordinate, Su Xiangdong.

That’s right, Miss Chen is now the director of the Light Industry Bureau, and Su Xiangdong is the director of the automobile factory, so he is of course her subordinate.

"Our Wuhu-Shanghai line is now the only dedicated railway with a fare of 120k, Miss Chen." Su Xiangdong spread his hands and said.

Chen Lina said, "My family is busy eating. If you want to report your work, can you come back later?"

Anna just came in, washed her hands and came to help Chen Lina press the dough, whispering, "You have plenty of starch at home, it's just one bowl of noodles, what's wrong with giving one bowl to Su Xiangdong? We came back together from a long way, how can you chase him away now?"

Chen Lina whispered, "You know that he promised the worker two years ago that he would help the entire oil industry improve the anti-theft system for the nodding machines. However, when the patent was invented, it belonged to their car company. Now every nodding machine has to be equipped with an anti-theft system, and the oil industry has to pay their car company. Moreover, he has been saying that there are big tigers in the oil industry, but he just won't hand over the evidence."

"If the car company gets the money, doesn't it still have to pay taxes for the mining area? Besides, the national situation is not something he can control alone. What if he really exposes the big tiger, the fish will be torn apart and he will die too? What should we do?" Anna said.

Chen Lina sighed softly, "So, he is my subordinate, but he can't even think about eating my food."

Anna doesn't have the heart to worry about the world, but Su Xiangdong is indeed a complicated person.

On the one hand, he is extremely capable and can compete with laborers in invention and creation.

On the other hand, he is also a crazy big rat who uses the benefits of the country to make money for himself. A worker may know a lot of things and can get evidence, but a useful person, even if he is bad, the value he creates is unlimited.

In this way, he and Nie Gong, in mutual restraint and hard work, another two years passed in a blink of an eye.

As for Su Xiangdong, he was a mean person in private and very unforgiving with his words. He pulled Deng Chun over, let him try on his newly bought clothes, patted Deng Chun's head, and turned around and left without saying a word.

"Uncle Leng, it's not easy to increase the speed of the railway. After all, the railway is equivalent to the aorta of the entire republic. Just like all the blood must circulate at the same speed for the human body to be healthy, on the railway, if the speed of one train is increased, the other trains will inevitably be affected. Can you tell me how you did it?" Sandan asked.

He and his dog-headed general Deng Chun, one poured water for Leng Qi, and the other gave Leng Qi a back massage.

How should I put it? Leng Qi is the kind of person who is born to be admired by children for no reason, because he speaks openly, straightforwardly and imaginatively.

"You want to know how I did it?" Leng Qi deliberately kept it a secret. "I started from our Uru City Railway Bureau and cursed all the way to the railway station. The speed of the trains heading to our mining area was increased."

Deng Chun's eyes were full of stars. "Wow, Uncle Leng, my father never scolds anyone."

"So he has stomach problems. His stomach is not in good condition because he is afraid to curse at others." Leng Qi said.

Deng Chun thought about it and realized that he did have a serious stomach problem before, but he is almost recovered now.

Leng Qi had a bad temper. Whether he was at the Ministry of Railways or in Shanghai, he would always start by scolding the leaders. The Republic has always been a society based on personal relationships. When seeking help from leaders, everyone would knock on the door timidly and speak carefully.

Well, Leng Qi basically kicked the door open and talked like a torrent, and his voice was so loud and clear that all the leaders were dizzy and turned around.

The Umay mining area has a special geographical location, far away from the border, but its economic development can be compared with that of the south. Leng Qi is not a high-ranking official, just a small district chief, similar to an ordinary county magistrate, but he has a brilliant qualification, and his father and grandson have carried guns.

So, wherever he went, no matter who he met, he would curse at them. He felt good about cursing, but it was hard for Su Xiangdong, who had to follow him to clean up the mess.

Su Xiangdong had to get compensation, an explanation, and a clarification of the situation.

The two of them did just that, first courtesy then hospitality, first winter snow then spring breeze, running from unit to department, and really, twenty years ahead of the entire republic, they upgraded the mining area's train to become the only one in the country with a K-name prefix.

Leng Qi and Chen Lina were half-fellow villagers, so he got a free meal and a bowl of his favorite rice dumplings made with syrup, and also scooped away half of Chen Lina's jar of pickled cabbage, and picked a big bag of eggplants, peppers and cucumbers from her backyard. Then he took Anna and Leng Feng and left, wiping his mouth.

Nie Weimin was still feeling uneasy because of Liu Xiaohong.

Of course, he was unwilling to believe that Liu Xiaohong had completely abandoned her hometown in the mining area as soon as she was admitted to university and had never recognized it again.

He also had to admit that for two years, she and he were studying in the same city and the same university, but she had no intention of contacting him. In fact, she had been avoiding his contact.

I was lying on the kang, thinking about random things, when I heard Wang Fan's voice outside, "Weiguo, your dad is back, and he wants you to move the TV."

Erdan was digging a toilet in the backyard. When he heard a few words on TV, he jumped up with joy and said, "Wow, my dad is back?"

"Yes, he also brought back several televisions. Not only do you have one at home, but I have one too."

Erdan was so happy that he dropped his shit bucket and jumped out without even changing his shoes. "Mom, Mom, my dad is here to buy a TV for our family. Hurry up, let's go and have a look."

Chen Lina was tired of watching TV in her previous life. Of course, she didn't have time to watch TV in this life. But when she saw Erdan was so happy, she came out of the kitchen and said, "Dandan, Deng Chun, hurry up and help move the TV."

Nie Gong went on an inspection trip with Hu Xuanang and the leader. Before leaving, many people in the base asked him to bring back a TV for everyone.

Televisions nowadays were a new thing, and Yi Gong was a senior engineer after all. He was not as concerned about his reputation as others, so he would definitely not agree. But he actually bought the televisions for everyone.

"Wang Fan, isn't this your TV? Why don't you carry it to your house?" Erdan asked while he was helping Wang Fan carry the TV.

Wang Fan didn't say much, just said, "Go, go, go, just keep moving forward, don't worry about anything else."

Qian Goudan and his son Qian Gong were carrying a TV and rushing forward in a hurry.

So, they rushed to the door of Chen Zili's house together with Erdan and Wang Fan, and the four of them blocked the door.

"Qian Goudan, get out of the way. I need to bring my TV into the house." Wang Fan said.

Qian Goudan blushed when he heard this. "Wang Fan, don't think you are great just because your father is the chief engineer. We are both from the motor group. You are just a small team leader. Don't call me Goudan anymore. I have a big name. Qian Wei, get out of the way quickly. Only my TV can enter this house."

"Qian Goudan, I'm calling you Qian Goudan, get away from me."

"Wang Fan, you better get away from me. I just met Tiantian the day before yesterday, and we were talking about marriage. What do you think of me as a piece of onion or garlic?"

Wang Fan simply raised his shoulder and rushed towards Qian Goudan.

Qian Goudan was not willing to be outdone. He took out his shoulder pole and rushed towards Wang Fan.

"Wang Fan, you shameless man, you are also guilty of hooliganism. Have you forgotten how you were arrested for harassing Xiao Shulinzi and reading pornographic books with the young educated youth?" Mrs. Qian from the opposite door was not to be outdone and rushed out to fight for her son.

After all, Wang Fan was educated and had some shame. His face turned red and he hit Qian Goudan with the stick.

A stick hit Qian Goudan on the head. Mrs. Qian was so angry that she picked up a broom and started to hit Wang Fan wildly. "Wang Fan, I am the only one who can beat my son. How dare you hit him? I have a question for you."

Erdan was rushing to break up the fight, but Wang Fan didn't see clearly and hit him on the head with a stick. As for Qian Goudan, for some reason, the stick went to Erdan's head.

Deng Chun and Sandan, who were watching the excitement, saw that Erdan had also been beaten up, so they stood in the corner, each holding a piece of firewood, and rushed to support him.

Qian Gonglao was already a grown-up, but he actually went and beat Wang Fan, pinning him to the ground and beating him.

"It's time for a fight, it's time for a fight." Mailiye and Xiaodoudou danced happily on the wall. "Everyone come and watch, there's a fight going on at the base."

Engineer Nie, Chief Engineer Wang, and Engineer Chen had just distributed the televisions. When they had a cup of tea at Chief Engineer Wang's house, they came out and saw children all over the place, fighting with each other, and they couldn't pull them apart.

As for Chen Lina, she was pointing at Mrs. Qian's nose, and the two of them were arguing.

"Nieh Weiguo, Nieh Weijiang, Deng Chun, what are you three doing?"

Nie Gong's roar first calmed down the three of them. Erdan also felt wronged, "Dad, I don't know why they all came to beat me."

"Did you suffer any loss? If not, shut up and go home quickly," said the worker.

Erdan was beaten black and blue. He was so angry that he scratched his scalp and turned around to go home.

"Xiao Wang, just tell me, what's wrong with my son Goudan? He's a worker in the electrical team, with a monthly salary of 80 yuan. He's only 18 years old and grew up with Tiantian. Just tell me about the gift, I'm willing to give any amount, but you have to accept this TV first." said Mrs. Qian.

Wang Fan's mother and Song's wife also said, "My Wang Fan is still the captain of the electric team. His monthly salary plus subsidies is 100 yuan a month. We can give him any gift.

Besides, my Wang Fan is four years older than Tian Tian. Older boys are more considerate. Xiao Wang, we are a family of chief engineers, so I won’t look down on you, right?”

"Sister Song, your Wang Fan is a little hooligan, have you forgotten?"

"Sister Qian, go next door and tell Xiao Chen this and see if she will slap you in the face. What's wrong with the kids looking at Ben now that they have grown up? It only proves that he loves reading. Look at Goudan, would he have been able to join the motor team if my husband Wang hadn't interceded for him?" When it comes to snatching a daughter-in-law for their son, all women are good at talking.

Sister Wang was so annoyed that she said, "My daughter Tiantian said she doesn't want to get married so early. Besides, there is no need for a base that is right next to each other. Why don't you let your own children go to the woolen textile factory or the clothing factory to negotiate? Okay?"

Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Song raised their hands at the same time, "The baby only wants Tiantian, what do you think I should do?"

Nie Weimin put his hands in his pockets and stood by the wall with Erdan and others, watching the excitement.

"Tiantian is so popular?" Nie Weimin said in surprise.

In his heart, Tiantian is still a chubby, fat little sister. Can she get married now?

Erdan kicked the dirt under his feet and said, "Not only that, you don't know how many guys in the mining area are chasing her. The guys from the car factory are all chasing her. Of course, there are many girls in the clothing factory, and there are many who are prettier than her, but I don't know why, many guys just want to marry her."

Secretly, Da Lu and Xiao Meng are also members of the Tiantian chasing team.

Nie Weimin's brows furrowed. "What's so good about her that so many guys chase after her?"

Suddenly, the next door became quiet and everyone was looking at the door. It turned out that Chen Tiantian had returned.

"Tiantian, tell me yourself, between Wang Fan and Goudan, who would you like to marry?" Mrs. Song went straight to the point and asked, interrupting Tiantian's question.

Before Chen Tiantian could say anything, Nie Weimin shouted from across the wall, "Chen Tiantian, you dare to come back here without finishing your work? Come here quickly, my mother is waiting for you to report your work."

"For a girl, getting married is more important, so let's talk about getting married first." said Mrs. Qian.

Aunt Song also said, "Yes, it's just a job in a garment factory, so what? Don't worry, let's talk about getting married first."

"If she doesn't work hard, she'll lose her job. Chen Tiantian, you don't want the 200 yuan salary per month?"

When she heard that Tiantian was paid 200 yuan a month, Sister Qian waved her hands and said, "200, or even 300 yuan. It's not a formal job, and she won't have a pension when she gets old. You don't need to take this kind of job seriously. Once you get married, you don't have to work anymore and can enjoy a peaceful life at home."

"Are you enjoying a comfortable life or eating chicken shit? Your family is full of shit. My Tiantian would rather marry someone else than you. As for Aunt Song, I tell you, it is impossible for Tiantian to like Wang Fan. Modern marriage is about love. Tiantian treats Wang Fan just like she treats me. She can't love him, really." Nie Weimin said bluntly.

Tiantian has always had a soft personality, but a good character, and has never been good at talking. Well, Nie Weimin finally said everything she wanted to say.

She also said, "Aunt Qian, Aunt Song, work is more important to me. I will go next door to report for work first."

"What about the TV?"

"If you don't carry it away, I will carry it to the Baiyang River to feed the fish," said Nie Weimin.

Well, how could they really let Nie Weimin feed the fish with such an expensive TV? After seeing this, the two families decided to move it back to their own homes.

When Tiantian came to the next room, the four brothers gathered around Chen Tiantian and looked at her. After looking for a long time, Nie Weimin said, "Sister, I really didn't expect that someone would want you."

Erdan also added, "And he's still so popular."

As they spoke, all four brothers started laughing.

It's like suddenly discovering that the piglet in my pigpen has double eyelids, or winning first place in the mining area's piglet beauty pageant. I feel amused, proud, and happy, but at the same time, it seems incredible.

"What's wrong with our Tiantian? Don't look at her young age, she has been to more places than you. When it comes to the business of the clothing factory, she is more experienced than you. Tiantian, speak Sichuan dialect to them." Chen Lina washed a plate of apples and brought it in, throwing one to each of the children, and then said.

Now, in the eyes of brother Nie Weimin, Tiantian is still just a chubby ugly little girl.

Although she is not tall, high heels can make her look taller.

Although her eyes are not big, they look very gentle when she smiles.

Although her nose is flat, her gentle little eyes give her a naturally gentle look. She speaks sweetly and softly. She is an eighteen-year-old girl with a sweet personality. Now she is the most beautiful flower in the mining area.

Chen Tiantian just smiled and didn't say anything.

The worker called Miss Chen into the study, motioned her to sit on the stool, looked at her for a long time, and then brushed her hair. The beautiful Miss Chen seemed to have not taken care of her hair recently, and she probably didn't pay much attention to sun protection, her skin was a little dark.

However, he is thirty years old after all, and his hair is all white. Time never defeats beauty. Miss Chen thinks he is at least twenty years younger than him.

Engineer Nie took out a box from the desk in a very serious manner, handed it to Chen Lina and said, "Open it and have a look."

Chen Lina opened it and took a quick look before quickly closing it. "Nie Bozhao, you didn't go to the coast and get bought by the Taiwanese. Otherwise, what is this? It looks like a very expensive necklace."

"This necklace is made from old jewelry from our family. Look at these pearls. They are not from my mother's old necklace. These diamonds are also her old diamonds. I have been working on it for half a year, but you just didn't notice it before."

Yes, the workers can do their own hand chains, they can do chain links, they can do everything.

Chen Lina took a look and found the sparkling diamonds and pearls quite familiar and stared at them for a long time.

She remembered that this necklace looked like the one Audrey Hepburn wore in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

She was so dizzy that she said, "No, this necklace must be kept for my daughter. It is so beautiful. I can't wear it at my age."

Nie Gong got angry and said, "Chen Lina, didn't you say you were a princess? Show me your princess's style. As for Nie Weixing, she is someone else's princess. I made this for my princess. How can I let her wear it?"

After a pause, he said, "When we die, you have to wear this thing in the grave." After a pause, he said, "Today is your 31st birthday, my princess, happy birthday."
