397 She Really Praises Me!

After life returned to normal, Su Taotao and her husband began their busy lives again.

During the time that Su Taotao was away, the new factory was operating as usual, except that Xiao Lu was so busy that he was almost sweating.

When he saw Su Taotao coming back to work, he was so moved that he wanted to hug her and cry.

"Sister, my dear sister, you are finally back. If you had come back a few days later, you would have lost a capable assistant, don't you know that?"

After Xiao Lu finished speaking, he used his hands to wipe away his non-existent tears in a serious manner.

Su Taotao watched the actor quietly until the end of his performance and handed him something.

Xiao Lu's ears pricked up: "What is this?"

Su Taotao: "A souvenir, a reward for my right-hand man, so as not to lose him."

Xiao Lu pointed at his nose and said, "Give me a souvenir!!"

Xiao Lu couldn't believe it. You know, he once went on a business trip with Engineer Fu and stayed in the deep mountains and forests for several months, but Engineer Fu didn't even give him a piece of wool.

Of course, he had no intention of taking Fu Gong's hair.

When Xiao Lu opened it, he found it was an exquisite fountain pen. It looked very valuable. Even if it was cheap, it would cost at least ten or eight yuan, and it might be more than tens of yuan if it was expensive.

"Isn't this too expensive?" Xiao Lu scratched his head. He just said that and had no intention of asking for a gift.

"Take it. When you are officially promoted to deputy factory director, you will need a presentable pen to sign documents. I have also asked someone to engrave your name on the cap." Su Taotao said casually.

Xiao Lu took a closer look and was stunned with surprise: "Is it the handwriting of Fu, Engineer Fu? Did he carve it himself?"

Su Taotao nodded: "He also picked the pen, stop dilly-dallying, report it when necessary, don't waste my precious time."

Xiao Lu was overjoyed. He took it in his hands and touched it again and again: "Thank you, sister. Thank you, brother-in-law, too. I love it so much!"

This living treasure...

Su Taotao laughed, Mr. Fu has become her brother-in-law.

After playing around, Xiao Lu started to report his work with a serious face, reporting every detail from the production workshop to administrative management, to raw material procurement, and even personnel transfers.

Xiao Lu can switch seamlessly between simplifying things into complexity and complex things into simplicity. After all, he was trained by Master Fu himself.

There is no nonsense when it comes to simplifying.

Su Taotao learned about the factory's operations during this period in a very short time and put forward suggestions for improvements to the existing problems.

It was almost lunch time after all this chat.

"That's about it for today, let's go to the cafeteria and eat and chat."

After Su Taotao cleaned up the table, she and Xiao Lu walked out.

Xiao Lu stepped back two steps behind Su Taotao, quietly took out a pen and pinned it on his shirt pocket, then walked beside Su Taotao with his head held high.

The pen seemed to be a symbol of his status; he looked particularly impressive when he wore it.

The cafeteria is not far from the office building, about ten minutes' walk away.

Many workers on the road almost didn't recognize Su Taotao, but Xiao Lu was the only one who greeted him along the way, and he introduced Su Taotao solemnly.

Some workers who met Su Taotao for the first time were filled with respect and called him "Director Su" respectfully.

Su Taotao doesn't care about these.

The cafeteria was packed with people, and every line was filled with workers.

There is a separate channel for office staff, not for special treatment. People like Su Taotao and Xiao Lu are extremely busy every day. Time is money and efficiency. Spending so much time queuing is a real waste of resources.

The food is the same anyway, and the queue for office staff is not short, just not that long.

Looking at the crowded cafeteria, Su Taotao felt for the first time that it was real that she was working in a big factory.

She built this large factory herself, starting from selecting the site and laying the foundation. At this moment, she felt a sense of pride.

Aunt Zhong was queuing early, and she saw Su Taotao come in following everyone's line of sight.

Aunt Zhong took the initiative to line up at the back and waved to Su Taotao.

"I took your lunch box and was thinking of taking it back so we can eat together," said Aunt Zhong.

Su Taotao smiled and said, "I want to come over and take a look."

"So, our team is growing fast, right? We have recruited many high school graduates one after another. Time flies so fast. It feels like the Dragon Boat Festival has just passed, and it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few months."

Aunt Zhong pointed at Xiao Lu and said, "He has reported everything to you, right? This guy has received a lot of orders for the Mid-Autumn Festival. If we don't hire more people, we won't be able to handle so many orders even if we work three shifts."

Su Taotao said: "You can't become fat in one bite. You still have to eat one bite at a time. We should go all out with the current production capacity. We will slow down for a while and start a new production line after the second phase of the factory is built."

This is not the place to discuss business, Su Taotao added: "Let's eat first, I'm hungry."

Aunt Zhong understood and started chatting with her about family matters.

When it was Su Taotao and the others' turn, the auntie who served them the food gave them a big spoonful of rice without even shaking her hands.

Su Taotao frowned, thinking that the aunt who served the food was treating her differently.

Auntie Zhong said: "Everyone is the same. Our factory responds to the call for hard work and perseverance. We don't ask for good food, but we try our best to make sure every worker is well fed so that they have the strength to work."

Su Taotao nodded: "Very good, that's how it should be."

Su Taotao said to the auntie who served the rice, "I can't eat that much. Just give me a flat spoon next time."

It was the first time that the auntie who served the food had encountered someone asking her not to serve too many meals. She was stunned for a moment, then saw that it was Su Taotao. She felt that it was reasonable and smiled immediately:

"Okay, Director Su, I'll remember this next time."

Not far away, Zhang Jing'an was already investigating quietly.

He is looking at Su Taotao.

Zhou Weining was looking at him.

After a while, Zhou Weining didn't know what he was thinking about. He lowered his head and looked at his toes, no longer looking at him.

After a while, she looked up at Su Taotao.

This summer, everyone has become darker, but she is still glowing white. No matter how many people are in the cafeteria, she is always the first person everyone sees.

She has always known that Su Taotao is pretty, she knew it from the first moment she saw her.

It's not that she's jealous, it's just that she's a little sad that the gay man she likes can't see her and is always attracted to Su Taotao.

Obviously she is not bad.

However, Zhou Weining is an optimist and quickly put this question aside. How could the mother of a fairy boy be an ordinary person?

"Zhou Weining?" Su Taotao waved her hand in front of her.

"Huh?" When Zhou Weining came to his senses, he was suddenly startled by the stunning face in front of him.

"Su, Director Su, you're back."

Su Taotao wanted to laugh. This girl's acting was too poor. She had almost stared a hole in her back, but she was pretending to have just seen her.

"Did you draw the propaganda poster at the gate?" Su Taotao asked.

Zhou Weining nodded dully: "Yeah."

Su Taotao nodded: "Not bad, with rich pictures and text, and it can be seen that a lot of thought was put into the layout. Keep up the standard."

Zhou Weining opened his mouth and blinked, and didn't react for a long time.

After Su Taotao walked away, she pulled the female worker next to her over and asked, "Did Director Su just compliment me? Did he? Did he?"

Female worker: "Yes, she praised your blackboard newspaper very well, and I think it's very good too."

Zhou Weining held his lunch box tightly in both hands and jumped a few times on the spot: "She praised me! She praised me! She really praised me!"

Female worker: “…” Are you so happy that you’ve gone crazy?

Not far away, Zhang Jingan frowned slightly. It seemed that this female comrade's brain was not working well. It would be better to stay away from her in the future.
