Chapter 82 His eyes are fiery and gentle
After Lu Mingchuan left, Su Heng withdrew his gaze, sat on the chair, and curiously picked up a book he usually read and opened it to take a look.
They are all quite thick books, and the content is very professional, mainly about steelmaking.
Lu Mingchuan usually doesn't talk about the difficulties he encounters at work when he goes home, but it seems that this position is not so easy to sit in.
Besides, given his personality, everything is either done well or not done at all.
I must have worked hard in private.
Su Heng took a look at it and put it down. Then he picked up the comic book beside him and read it with great interest.
As a result, she had almost finished reading the comic books on the table, and Lu Mingchuan had not returned yet, so she had to eat two pieces of peach cakes to fill her stomach.
It seems that the situation is quite tricky. I just heard that we have to go to the workshop to check the equipment, and I don’t know what happened.
Su Heng stretched, stood up and walked to the window to exercise.
Then I heard the sound of a door being pushed open upstairs, and then the noise broke the silence.
It seemed that the meeting was over. Footsteps were heard in the corridor and on the stairs, so Su Heng hurried back to her seat.
Then I realized that I felt really bad for stealing like that.
But she really didn't want to meet Lu Mingchuan's colleagues again and be introduced to them again.
After the meeting, Lu Mingchuan quickly walked back to the office and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Su Heng still sitting in her seat.
Said: "Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. It must be boring. I can leave as soon as I put my things down."
Su Heng shook her head: "It's okay, is there something difficult going on?"
"Yes, a little." Lu Mingchuan put the documents away and explained:
"The factory's equipment is too old and inefficient. Output has been declining in recent years. We're holding this meeting to discuss sending someone to buy new equipment."
It’s not easy to go out at this time, but it’s also a bit dangerous to travel long distances with a car.
Su Heng looked at Lu Mingchuan, who seemed particularly young and strong among the older management team. "Have you chosen the candidate?"
"Not yet, but Director Zhou specifically talked to me about it. I think he wants me to go."
Director Zhou is the director of the factory’s Revolutionary Committee, which means he is also the factory director.
There is no way. No matter how you look at it, Lu Mingchuan, who has served in the army, is the most suitable person to lead the team.
Young and strong, with active minds, coupled with a technical staff, is better than sending another group of old guys out to run around.
"Okay, let me know when it's settled, and I'll prepare some dry food for you in advance."
Lu Mingchuan responded with a smile: "Let's not talk about this for now, let's go eat."
Su Heng: "Yeah, let's go. If we don't go now, today's signature dish will be gone."
The restaurant changes its menu every day, but the signature meat dishes are limited in quantity, so if you go too late you won’t be able to get them.
So when everyone in the factory rushed to the cafeteria, the two of them went against the crowd, left the factory, and went straight to the restaurant.
Unexpectedly, I was lucky enough to have sweet and sour pork and stir-fried pork belly with garlic today.
Su Heng took out the meat coupons and said proudly, "It's my treat today, Comrade Lu, what would you like to eat?"
Lu Mingchuan chuckled when he heard this, and did not argue with her. He named the dishes according to Su Heng's taste, and he definitely ordered the signature meat dish.
There were only two of them, so ordering three dishes was more than enough.
Su Heng took the bill and went to the window to order food. It was the same waiter as last time.
The indifferent person standing behind the window took a few more glances at the two of them and asked, "What would you like to order?"
Su Heng smiled and said, "Sister, we want a plate of sweet and sour pork, a plate of stir-fried pork belly, and a plate of three fresh delicacies."
She is pretty and speaks sweetly, and the waiter's attitude is visibly better.
He also asked, "Don't you want rice?"
"Yes!" Su Hengguang remembered the meat and quickly made up for it, taking out money, grain coupons and meat coupons.
Meat dishes are all 80 cents each, while vegetarian dishes are cheaper, only 15 cents.
With Su Heng's current income, it is no problem for her to eat out every day.
But there are no tickets.
The two of them couldn't save enough money, so Su Heng started preparing how to spend next month's money before this month was over.
"Okay, find a seat and sit down. I'll call you when it's ready." After collecting the money, the waiter went to tell the chef the names of the dishes.
Su Heng found a seat by the window and pulled Lu Mingchuan over to sit down.
The tables and chairs were a bit old, and everyone was wearing new clothes today. Lu Mingchuan carefully took out a handkerchief and wiped the bench for Su Heng.
"Comrade Lu, you're quite attentive. Why does this handkerchief look familiar?"
After wiping the bench, Lu Mingchuan folded the handkerchief and put it in his pocket.
"This is the handkerchief you used to bandage my hand last time. Since you didn't take it back, I washed it and used it myself." He said it very confidently.
As soon as Su Heng heard him say that, she remembered.
The last time Lu Mingchuan cut his hand while cutting bamboo, he applied medicine to it and lost some of his supernatural powers. After that, he just found a handkerchief to bandage it.
This is the leftover scraps from her making clothes. I didn’t expect that they were carefully kept.
"I don't want to come back. I'm not that stingy."
Lu Mingchuan: "Well, I know, you are the most generous to me."
Su Heng coughed lightly: "It's good that you know."
Lu Mingchuan just smiled when he heard that, took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Su Heng.
Su Heng took it doubtfully and asked, "What is this?"
Lu Mingchuan looked at her with a gentle smile in his eyes: "Happy birthday, open it and see if you like it."
"You..." Su Heng didn't expect that he actually knew and prepared a gift in advance.
Actually, it’s easy to guess. The clothes were made today, so there must be some special meaning behind choosing today.
Lu Mingchuan was just particularly attentive to Su Heng.
Su Heng opened the small box and couldn't help but wonder what was inside.
But what I saw unexpectedly was a silver ladies' watch.
Needless to say, watches of this era must be very expensive.
It’s not that the watch itself is expensive, this brand only costs a hundred yuan on the market, but what is expensive is the watch ticket and industrial ticket.
Lu Mingchuan had only been working for a short time and had barely accumulated many of them. He probably had to ask someone to "exchange" them for him.
Lu Mingchuan must have emptied out all his savings!
But Su Heng was not one to spoil the fun. She smiled and looked at Lu Mingchuan: "Thank you, I like it very much. Please help me put it on."
As she spoke, she stretched out her right wrist. The old-fashioned watch had a buckle and was not easy to operate with one hand.
Lu Mingchuan did as he was told and gently helped her put it on.
The silver-white mechanical watch made her skin look even fairer and softer. Lu Mingchuan praised her, "It fits you very well. It will be more convenient for you to do experiments in the future."
Su Heng had complained several times before because she didn't know the time and it was inconvenient to do anything.
They needed to know the time when making observation records and conducting control experiments, but they could only rely on Pu Fengliang's old watch.
It's an old item and it broke down recently.
It feels great to be remembered by others.
Su Heng narrowed her eyes and said, "I just mentioned it a few times, but I didn't expect you to remember it."
"I take everything you said to heart." His eyes were fiery yet gentle.
