The next day, Ying Han took the bus back to the small building after work.
She didn't have a bicycle, so this time she had to ask Deng Chen to take her.
Ying Han felt embarrassed, but she really couldn't ride this kind of bicycle well.
Her parents said that the bus was too crowded and wanted to buy her a bicycle, but Ying Han refused to let them because she personally didn't like riding a bicycle.
Deng Chen took her for a stroll and she didn't feel any weight at all.
The two went to the only TV manufacturer in the city.
I said something to the security guard and went directly to the security department.
"My comrade is the head of the security department here. He just retired two years ago and was assigned to the factory his uncle is in charge of."
"Oh..." Since my uncle is the boss, it will definitely be easy to get the supply.
The two arrived at the security department and called out to a man dressed neatly in a simple army green cotton short-sleeved shirt, army green tapered pants, and a pair of conspicuous military boots, "Go east."
The 1.8-meter-tall section chief turned around and saw Deng Chen. A bright smile appeared on his handsome face, with his two big white teeth particularly prominent. "Brother Chen, you're here."
Deng Chen nodded, turned around and said, "This is Comrade Ying, my friend, Ying Han, and this is my comrade, Yu Xiangdong."
"Hello, Comrade Yu."
"Hello, Comrade Ying, I heard from Brother Chen that you wanted to buy a TV. A batch of 'other' equipment just arrived, and I took out a few for research. I still have about ten left. I was planning to sell them, but I haven't ordered any yet. My uncle suggested giving them as a benefit to the company's employees. Whoever needs them can just sell them at cost price."
Ying Han smiled. "That means I happened to be there by chance."
"That's right. I mentioned to Brother Chen the other day that he didn't want one, but two days ago he said he wanted one again. So I quickly saved it for him."
Ying Han turned around and gave Deng Chen a grateful smile. "I really owe it to Comrade Deng this time."
"You're welcome."
Yu Xiangdong took them to the warehouse, which was filled with packaged televisions.
Yu Xiangdong pointed to several televisions that were placed separately and said, "These are the only ones left. Comrade Ying, would you like to pick one?"
Ying Han nodded, "Sorry for the trouble."
Yu Xiangdong called a warehouse employee and asked him to open one for Ying Han to try out.
It is indeed a little bigger than the screen in the department store, and the style is better.
Ying Han thought it was very good.
Here, Yu Xiangdong winked and nudged Deng Chen with his elbow, whispering, "Okay, brother, he's not bad looking."
Deng Chen glared at him with a frown on his face. "You're overthinking it."
Yu Xiangdong naturally didn't believe it. He curled his lips and secretly observed Ying Han beside him. The more he looked, the more he felt that Ying Han was worthy of his brother Chen.
"Comrade Yu, I want this one. Can your factory deliver it to my home?"
"We don't usually deliver goods, but of course it's easier for us to talk to one of our own. It's not a big deal to buy a pack of cigarettes for the guy who delivers goods to the factory."
"Then I'll trouble you two, Comrade Yu. I'll treat you two to dinner later."
"No, no, since you are here, there is no reason for me to ask you to treat me." Yu Xiangdong is a lively person and knows how to make friends.
So he was very popular. After he retired from the army, his family arranged for him to be the head of the security department. The title sounded nice, but it was actually very boring. Every day he was responsible for dealing with trivial matters in the factory.
Some time ago, I met my old comrade-in-arms Deng Chen. Deng Chen helped him a lot when they were in the army. Now, one of them retired due to poor health, and the other retired due to disability. Alas, neither of them was destined to achieve great things.
Neither of them was married. On weekends, they would occasionally drink together and complain. Most of the time, Yu Xiangdong was talking and Deng Chen was listening.
Ying Han paid the money to the factory and was originally planning to go out to buy a pack of cigarettes, but Deng Chen took out a pack from his pocket and gave it to her.
Ying Han was surprised. Deng Chen, who was here, was afraid that she would think too much, so he explained, "I don't smoke, but when I go out to do things, I like to carry a pack of cigarettes in my pocket."
Ying Han nodded and took note of it in his mind.
Yu Xiangdong took them to a nearby restaurant and treated them to a meal.
Yu Xiangdong called their good friend Yang Ping, a policeman, over at some point.
Yang Ping also served in the army and later transferred to the Public Security Bureau.
When Yang Ping came, he was wearing a police uniform, which was quite oppressive.
"Let me introduce you to Comrade Ying. This is Yang Ping. The three of us were comrades-in-arms. We retired one after another. Yang Ping is now working at our Municipal Public Security Bureau. If you have any problems in the future, just go find him. Just call us brothers and he won't neglect you."
Yang Ping shoved Yu Xiangdong in the arm and said, "You're just cursing people for no reason. I'm a criminal investigator. Comrade Ying, don't listen to his nonsense. But if there's anything small, I'm still happy to help for Brother Chen's sake."
Ying Han smiled and nodded, agreeing.
Ying Han listened to a lot of interesting stories about their time in the army, and finally talked about how things are not going as planned now. They wanted to make great achievements, but now they have all retired for various reasons.
"Life is like this. You never know when it will turn, but turning is not necessarily a bad thing. It may lead to another life."
"What's the point of life, Comrade Ying? You don't understand. I feel like I'm completely useless now." Yu Xiangdong poured himself a glass of wine in frustration.
Deng Chen patted his shoulder and said, "No matter what position you are in or what you do, your current mission is to ensure the safety of the entire factory. This is a heavy responsibility."
Yu Xiangdong laughed and said, "Well, if you put it that way, I feel a sense of pride."
Yang Ping smiled and clinked glasses with them. "You're just too hot-headed. Wouldn't it be better for us to retire now? I'm in the Public Security Bureau, serving the people. Your factory is doing well now, with many employees and about one or two thousand family members. The safety of the factory depends entirely on you. You're the head of the security department, so you don't just get by for free. Also, we have a housing shortage now, and Brother Chen is in the construction team, doing construction for the people. It's a contribution anyway."
"Oh, who says it's not true? But I just can't get over it. By the way, Comrade Ying, you're from the Urban Construction Bureau, right? Our factory is going to build a residential area. Have you come up with a plan?"
"It has already come out. Several nearby factories have made arrangements. I am not responsible for the details. It is just a comrade of mine."
"Now that the plan is out, will it be implemented soon?"
Ying Han smiled and shook his head, "It's hard to say."
The planning of the Second Ring Road area is difficult to implement and will take three to five years.
"Our Public Security Bureau also needs to be renovated. It's just a dilapidated building now."
"The Public Security Bureau is already working on a plan. Construction teams in each district will be very busy over the next two years. We have a lot of areas to build."
"By the way, I want to tell you that Comrade Ying has a friend who makes furniture. If any of you need anything in the future, you can go and look around."
