Chapter 53 Lunch at the Steel Mill



"You can come to my place every day. I'll take you to a restaurant. I'll ask Bai Kaixuan to go to the state-owned restaurant to order food before noon. Just tell me what you want to eat." Director Bai said as he was about to pick up the phone to call Bai Kaixuan

"No, uncle, let's go to the cafeteria. I want to try the food in the steel factory cafeteria. I often went to the cafeteria with my dad when I was a child. I still miss it very much." Nanqiao stopped Director Bai from calling Bai Kaixuan and said

"Okay, if you like, come to my uncle's place for lunch. Our canteen is better than the one in the compound. The workers do manual labor, so the food is much more oily than that in the compound." Director Bai is very confident about the canteen in his factory.

"Okay, let's not talk about anything else. I'll have dinner with you today."

"You can't just come to me for lunch, right? What else is there?" Director Bai looked at Nanqiao with a smile. He couldn't just get up so early and go to work in the compound, but come to him to wait for lunch.

"Hey, I came to get some information to study. I don't know much about the process, so I was thinking, can you help me arrange someone to help me talk about the goods I want to purchase this time?"

"That's no problem. We're going to purchase a lot of items this time. Let Bai Kaixuan take you there. He's the director of the personnel department and knows all the people in the factory. He knows who to contact for what." Director Bai said as he called Bai Kaixuan.

"Kaixuan, where are you now?"

"What's going on in the office, uncle?"

"Come over to my place, I need you for something" and then he hung up the phone

Bai Kaixuan from the Personnel Department listened to the beeping sound on the phone and muttered, "Uncle's habit of hanging up the phone before someone finishes talking is really hard to change."

He stood up and left the office. When passing the next office, he said, "Xiao Chen, I'm going to go to Director Bai. If there's anything wrong with the Personnel Department, you can take care of it."

"Okay, Director Bai."

While Director Bai and Nanqiao were waiting for Bai Kaixuan, Director Bai handed the information to Nanqiao and said, "This is the information you wanted. The list of foreign companies and the items in the procurement plan are all in it."

"Okay." Nanqiao took the information and roughly read it through, but didn't find any particularly unfamiliar words.

"Come to think of it, I didn't know you had this ability. Why don't you come directly to my place? You'll have more freedom here than in the compound. You'll have to sit in the office every day if you go there," Director Bai said with some regret.

"This is just a coincidence. I happened to be accompanying my brother to meet one of her comrades. I was originally thinking of seeing if there was any chance, and I just happened to catch up... I took advantage of this. Not only do I not have to work in the fields, but I also get paid."

"You are too modest, girl. You are not taking advantage of others. It is Old Zheng who is taking advantage of others. I heard that he studies dictionaries every day. You will solve a big problem for him if you go there."

"It's mutual. I don't have to work in the fields anymore. Sitting in an office is always easier than working in the fields."

"That's true. It's too much for a little girl like you to do hard labor under the sun every day. All good people will be ruined. Sigh... In this world, I don't know when it will end." Director Bai sighed as if he had thought of something.

Nanqiao could probably guess what Director Bai was lamenting about, but he didn't know what to say, so he didn't say anything.

"Uncle, what do you want me for?" Bai Kaixuan pushed the door open and walked in, looking free and easy.

"I've told you so many times, knock on the door before entering! Also! Call me Director Bai in the factory!" Director Bai glared at Bai Kaixuan and said angrily

"Oh, uncle, oh no, Director Bai! I will remember to knock on the door next time," Bai Kaixuan said as he saw Nanqiao sitting on the sofa.

"Hey, Nanqiao girl, why are you here?" Bai Kaixuan said as he sat down on the sofa next to Nanqiao and asked.

"I came to ask you for help"

"Aren't foreign businessmen coming soon? Nanqiao is here to get the information. You can take Nanqiao to the workshop to find out the items on the purchase list and learn about the process. We can have lunch together in the cafeteria at noon," said Director Bai.

"Why eat in the cafeteria? I'll take you to the state-owned restaurant." Bai Kaixuan's nonchalant voice made Director Bai even more angry.

"You are so impressive, aren't you? You are the only one who is good at running a state-owned restaurant! Others don't even know how to go there? Or is it that you look down on the cafeteria in my factory?"

"No, no, how could I? The food in our factory is the best. I just thought that since Nanqiao rarely comes here, I should take her to eat something good," Bai Kaixuan explained with a wry smile.

"You still complain that the food in my factory is not good!" Director Bai kept asking.

"Really? That's it. Nanqiao must eat in the cafeteria at noon! Let's eat together! Uncle, I'm going to take Nanqiao to the workshop first. Let's meet in the cafeteria at noon."

Unable to argue with this unreasonable person, Bai Kaixuan hurriedly took Nanqiao to the workshop.

Director Bai looked at the two people leaving and smiled unhappily.

After leaving Director Bai's office, Bai Kaixuan closed the door and whispered to Nanqiao, "Sister, let's just have lunch in the cafeteria. I'll take you out for a delicious meal another day."

Nanqiao couldn't help but laugh at Bai Kaixuan's sly expression, "Didn't they say the canteen at the steel plant is great?"

"The food is good, it's good for the workers in the workshop, it's good to eat greasy food, but it's not good for us, we sit in the office all day, the food tastes too... greasy"

"Okay, I roughly understand." Nanqiao responded with a slight curl of his lips. In this era, everyone is short of food and clothing. It is true that things with a lot of oil and water are good things, but for people who have no worries about food and clothing, this kind of oil and water is a bit of suffering. It is understandable why Bai Kaixuan goes to state-owned restaurants every now and then.
