This academic exchange meeting is a continuation of the previous expert group's meeting. Its main purpose is to determine the key technical research projects of each branch factory. If the project is feasible, the main factory will allocate funds.
Shen Ze attached great importance to this exchange meeting and prepared for it for a long time. He prepared several technical research projects, and each of them underwent a practical feasibility analysis with comprehensive data and well-founded evidence.
He never fights a battle without preparation.
As for Xiao Aiguo's recommendation of Jian Xiaoxing to go along, everyone was surprisingly unanimous in their opinion. If it weren't for her, the Jinhai Chemical Plant wouldn't have made such a big appearance last time. Her accompanying him was everyone's wish.
However, Jian Xiaoxing only wanted to be a data clerk and did not have such ambition, so he declined.
She is very confident that she will be able to enter university next year and believes that she will not stay in the chemical factory for long.
Besides, she and Shen Ze were going to the city and would stay there for two days. Wouldn't they be together all the time? Even the autumn wind wouldn't be as cold as a lump of ice.
I thought that since she had rejected it very decisively and Chen Ze didn't mention it again, the matter was over.
Unexpectedly, just when Shen Ze decided to go alone, the General Office told him that the driver suddenly had a stomachache and might have appendicitis.
There is only one car and one driver in the factory, and it fails at the critical moment.
If you are late for the meeting, forget about allocating funds to the factory.
Shen Ze quickly found his communication notebook and called the bus station.
There is a passenger bus at the bus station, but it doesn't leave until the afternoon. The morning one just left.
When Xie Dongming learned about the situation, he started to try to find a solution. He asked all the friends he could think of, but none of them knew how to drive.
Xiao Aiguo didn't take it seriously at first, but after seeing Xie Dongming getting anxious, he slapped his thigh and remembered that Jian Xiaoxing had just mentioned to him not long ago that she could drive.
In fact, when she saw Chen Ze at a loss, she was worried about whether to help him. She plucked a handful of leaves from the jasmine branch and counted them: "I'll help with the odd numbers, but not the even numbers..."
As Xiao Aiguo said this, she only had a small leaf left in her hand. Well, help her. After all, Chen Ze had saved her several times. Being his driver for once would be her way of repaying him.
I can only blame myself for being too talkative and bragging in front of Xiao Aiguo.
Doesn't she know how scarce people who can drive are in this day and age? The driver of the General Office drives for the leaders every day, and his eyes are so dizzy that he has lost his sight.
When he learned that Jian Xiaoxing could drive, Shen Ze rarely smiled, as if to say, I don’t know how many surprises you have.
Before she could change out of her work clothes, Shen Ze had already picked up his briefcase and walked straight to the car.
Jian Xiaoxing followed behind her with her short legs, looking confused. He trusted her so much without even asking?
A few minutes later, Jian Xiaoxing adjusted the seat height of the Jeep and turned the key to start the engine.
She had driven off-road before, so she had no problem controlling this type of vehicle.
With the sound of the engine, the car started and was successfully driven to the factory gate. It greeted the guard and left the factory.
The guard looked surprised and asked, "When did the General Office change to a female driver?"
Li Weihong, who happened to pass by the door, opened his mouth so wide that an egg could fit in it.
What? That bitch Jian Xiaoxing actually knows how to drive? And she's alone with Shen Ze!
Li Weihong was so angry that her expression was ferocious and she wished she could tear Jian Xiaoxing to pieces with her bare hands.
After returning to the office, she found out the situation and called her father.
In this era, there are no highways, and a gravel road that is more than one car wide is already the best road.
Jian Xiaoxing drove very fast on such a road, leaving a trail of dust behind him.
Shen Ze sat in the passenger seat, holding the handle tightly, his expression extremely nervous.
"Jian Xiaoxing, drive slower!"
Jian Xiaoxing stepped on the brake lightly and slowed down: "Didn't you say you were in a hurry?"
She hadn't driven a car for a long time, so she drove too fast and didn't control her speed well.
"Then be careful. When you pass through a field, be careful. You never know when someone might pop out of the ground."
Although Shen Ze couldn't drive, he had experience riding in cars.
As he spoke, a dog jumped out of the cornfield and ran quickly past the front of the car, scaring her.
She had no choice but to reduce the speed of the car to a controllable range.
"When did you learn to drive?" Shen Ze suddenly asked.
Jian Xiaoxing also thought about this problem. She wanted to make up some excuse to fool people. In the end, she brought up her uncle Jian Baoguo.
"My uncle is a lorry driver. He can drive all the trucks at the dock. I used to go to the dock to play with him often, and I learned how to drive over time. Actually, driving is not difficult. Once you learn, you will definitely be very fast."
Chen Ze was skeptical, because in this day and age, learning to drive a car required going to a specialized school and studying full-time for a year or two. How could it be as easy as she said?
He didn't learn it because he didn't have time to leave his job. Those who learn to drive specifically plan to make it their career in the future.
"You can drive, why don't you be a driver?" Shen Ze continued to ask.
"Do I have to be someone else's driver if I want to drive? I can buy my own car in the future!" Jian Xiaoxing said casually.
Cars in this era are not cheap. Even a cheap Jeep costs more than 60,000 yuan. An ordinary worker would probably need to save money for 20 years without eating or drinking to be able to afford one.
Buying yourself a car is a fantasy.
Realizing that his words were inappropriate, Jian Xiaoxing quickly turned his head and smiled at Shen Ze:
"Chen Chang, I was just joking. But it's true that driving isn't difficult to learn."
Chen Ze looked back at her and found that she was already looking straight ahead, driving seriously, with a lingering smile still on her lips, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised, "Then when you have time, you can teach me."
Jian Xiaoxing agreed without thinking.
In the following time, the two discussed the performance and power of the car.
Chen Ze can't drive, but he has studied mechanical principles and knows about dynamics. Jian Xiaoxing is the opposite. She drives very well, but she doesn't even know that the engine burns diesel.
She can't explain that cars in the future will no longer burn diesel, but gasoline!
The two of them were discussing intensely, and time passed quickly, and before they knew it, they arrived at the meeting destination, Phoenix Mountain Scenic Area.
Phoenix Mountain Scenic Area is one of the first national scenic spots. It has beautiful mountains and forests and majestic temples, but it has not yet been opened to the public.
However, there are a full range of state-owned hotels and restaurants inside, where major state-owned enterprises can conduct academic exchanges.
The head office also took this opportunity to arrange a half-day tour of the scenic area to reward the technical backbones of each branch factory.
Jian Xiaoxing found a spot to park the car, then followed Shen Ze to the reception desk.
The comrade at the reception desk was holding a thick book and wearing a suit, looking quite formal.
Shen Ze wore a white shirt inside and a jacket outside, which made him look much more casual.
Jian Xiaoxing was more casual. She was wearing a blue work suit, which made her stand out among the crowd of people in casual attire.
Shen Ze gave his name, and the comrade at the reception desk gave him a badge and let him in, but blocked Jian Xiaoxing outside.
