Although the glass factory was still under construction, Li Shaozhong and Ye Shuning had been looking for and recruiting suitable technical personnel.
In Haizhou, Lu Haifeng and Zeng Bosheng fully supported Li Shaozhong and his team's career, and Li Jianye also kept an eye on his son and daughter-in-law's careers. They helped introduce several skilled people, and Li Shaozhong retained them after talking with them.
Li Shaozhong would never mistreat talented people, offering them high salaries and even allocating a house to each employee once the building was complete. As long as they worked at the glass factory, they could live there forever.
Such good conditions made the several technicians who were introduced very happy. They left their original units to get better treatment and have more development opportunities.
These people, led by Li Shaozhong and Ye Shuning, directly formed the technical department, responsible for all the early technical work of the glass factory. Ling Xuan was also among them, responsible for some external relations management and other aspects.
This time, Li Shaozhong was traveling abroad with several people from the technical department to inspect the equipment. Li Shaozhong also wanted these key technical personnel at the glass factory to see more of the advanced technology of other countries.
Before Li Shaozhong left for overseas, he was still worried about Zhao Huixin, so he discussed with Zeng Bosheng to transfer Wei Chen to a very important R&D team as team leader. The main purpose of this operation was to make Zhao Huixin mistakenly believe that Wei Chen would have access to more core technologies of Haizhou Daily Chemical Factory, prompting her to start as soon as possible.
Zeng Bosheng knew that Li Shaozhong would be away for a long time, maybe one or two months, and he was worried about his family, so he said, "Just go abroad with peace of mind. I'll be watching over you at home. Nothing will go wrong."
Li Shaozhong nodded. "Then I'll have Wei Chen report to you if anything happens. It's best if you find a meeting place outside and avoid frequent contact at the factory, otherwise Zhao Huixin will become suspicious. She's a very cautious person and quite scheming, so be careful."
Zeng Bosheng said, "That's no problem. If it's nothing serious, we can just contact each other by phone. Wei Chen is a very steady and reliable young man who deserves training. He might become your right-hand man in the future."
Li Shaozhong nodded. "Wei Chen is indeed good and can focus on his work. He's a promising candidate for scientific research. This time, thanks to his ability to stay true to himself and resist temptation, and his ability to skillfully deal with Zhao Huixin. I'll give him a promotion after we resolve Zhao Huixin's situation."
Before going abroad, Li Shaozhong went to see Lu Haifeng again to say hello to him.
Seeing Li Shaozhong coming, Lu Haifeng smiled and said, "You haven't been to my place for a long time."
Li Shaozhong shook his head helplessly and said, "There's nothing I can do. I really don't have time."
Lu Haifeng made a cup of tea for Li Shaozhong and said, "I know you're a very busy man. What brings you to me this time?"
Li Shaozhong said, "I'm going to lead a team abroad to inspect equipment the day after tomorrow, so I'd like to say hello to you. If there are any negotiations during this time, I definitely won't be able to participate."
Lu Haifeng nodded. "I know that. After the last negotiation, both parties have been revising the cooperation plan, and we haven't yet agreed on a date for the next negotiation. But your smelter is a plus for us. The other party is really interested in your technology."
Li Shaozhong said, "If they want technology, they have to exchange it for something of equal value. If I can really use my technology to benefit the country, I'll accept it."
Lu Haifeng was deeply shocked when he heard Li Shaozhong's words. "Shaozhong, that's your personal technology. Are you really willing to contribute it? But don't worry, the country will never take advantage of you for nothing. We will definitely compensate you."
Li Shaozhong said, "I know that. Even if I suffer a little loss, it's nothing. If I can really gain more benefits for our country, that would be great. Besides, the current technology is not the most advanced one I have. I have more advanced technology. There will be many times when they will be jealous of me in the future."
Lu Haifeng knew that Li Shaozhong would not lie. "Don't worry, if I really need you to contribute your technology in the end, I will never let you suffer any loss."
Li Shaozhong also asked Qin Zongye and Ling Xuan to stay in Haizhou as much as possible recently so that they could help Ye Shuning if anything happened.
After Li Shaozhong spoke with Wei Chen, the factory issued a notice transferring him to a very important R&D group. Previously, Wei Chen worked in the soap R&D group, but now he's been transferred to the shampoo and hair care R&D group, where he remains the group leader. Despite being a group leader, Wei Chen's current role means he's responsible for a wider range of product R&D projects.
During lunch, Wei Chen met Zhao Huixin again. He knew that this was not a coincidence at all. Zhao Huixin deliberately arranged it and pretended to meet him by chance.
Zhao Huixin saw Wei Chen and happily walked over to him and said, "Wei Chen, we meet again. Let's have dinner together?"
Wei Chen pretended to be happy and nodded, "Okay, I'll go buy some food. I'll treat you to a delicious meal today. You go sit down and wait. I'll have good news for you later."
Zhao Huixin tried hard to control her emotions and gave Wei Chen a loving look. "Then I will respectfully obey your command."
As she spoke, Zhao Huixin handed her lunch box to Wei Chen and walked to a more secluded corner.
Wei Chen took Zhao Huixin and his own lunch box, bought two meat dishes and some rice, and then went to find Zhao Huixin with the rice.
After Wei Chen sat across from Zhao Huixin, Zhao Huixin couldn't wait to ask, "Do you have any good news to tell me?"
Wei Chen put away both lunch boxes with a smile and said, "I've been transferred to the R&D team for shampoo and hair care products, and I'm the team leader. This is like a promotion. From now on, I'll be responsible for the R&D of shampoo, conditioner, mousse, and other products."
Zhao Huixin was delighted when she heard this. The more important Wei Chen's position was, the higher his value would be, and the greater her chance of obtaining the core technology of Haizhou Daily Chemical Factory in the future.
Zhao Huixin smiled and said, "Congratulations, Wei Chen, this is really good news, it's worth celebrating. I think we should go out for dinner tonight to celebrate. But as promised, you treat me to lunch and I treat you to dinner."
Wei Chen looked at Zhao Huixin's happy expression and scoffed in his heart. He knew that Zhao Huixin was trying to get some information from him. But he also wanted to see what Zhao Huixin would do.
So he didn't reject Zhao Huixin's proposal, "Okay, let's go out for dinner tonight to celebrate. I'll treat you. How can you let a girl treat you?"
After the two agreed, they had a great time chatting while eating. Wei Chen also asked about Zhao Huixin's work and said that they would work hard together.
Seeing Wei Chen's attentiveness towards her, Zhao Huixin knew he had taken the bait and was already in love with her. As long as she worked harder, getting Wei Chen to take her to the lab shouldn't be a problem.
Both of them were acting for each other. The difference was that Wei Chen knew Zhao Huixin was acting in front of him, but Zhao Huixin didn't know that Wei Chen was also acting, and was still smug about having won Wei Chen.
