Chapter 80: Sha Zhu and the Deaf Old Lady turn against each other, steel production plummets

"Engineer Chen, are we going to the steel mill again today?"

After finishing breakfast, Yu Yu Haitang looked expectant.

She could go to work with Chen Tian today.

She wanted the female workers in the factory who had ideas about Chen Tian to see that she had come with him.

Did this count as asserting her sovereignty?

Yu Yu Haitang felt secretly pleased with her little thoughts.

Staying at Chen Tian's house last night was a perfect start.

In the future, she would definitely have more contact with Chen Tian.

After Yu Li and Yan Yan Jiecheng got married and moved into the Sihe Academy, Yu Yu Haitang actually didn't want to come.

Especially after knowing that Yan Yan Bugui was a stingy ghost and a calculator, she was even less willing to deal with the Yan family.

Now, however, she had changed her mind.

She wished she could live in the Sihe Academy every day just to be in close contact with Chen Tian.

"Yes, the steel mill has just started production, and I need to go over and keep an eye on it."

"You don't have to go; you can stay at the factory. Anyway, you're in the propaganda department, so you don't need to run around with me."

Chen Tian nodded.

He was full of expectations for the steel mill.

This was just the beginning of production, so he had to ensure quality control and do his best from the start.

Only in this way could there be a strict benchmark to follow in future production.

The original design intention of the steel mill was to build a large-scale iron and steel complex with an annual output of 500,000 tons.

Whether it could meet the design standards depended on today's initial production data.

Chen Tian was full of confidence in this.

He had designed and built this steel mill himself, and its production capacity would only be more, not less.

"Of course I'm going to the steel mill with you."

"Factory Director Yang has already agreed to let me follow you and help you."

"I'm very diligent. When you're busy, I can serve you tea and water, run errands, and fetch things!"

Yu Yu Haitang was anxious. She wanted to be by Chen Tian's side every day; how could she go back to the rolling mill to be a broadcaster?

Yu Yu Haitang knew she couldn't help Chen Tian much with work, but being a secretary was fine.

Chen Tian's current status was more important than Factory Director Yang's; this was what Factory Director Yang had said himself.

"Little Yu, Engineer Chen has too many things to worry about. Taking good care of him is your job!"

Yu Yu Haitang had always remembered this sentence from Factory Director Yang.

Chen Tian smiled, "Fine, fine, fine, if you're not afraid of being tired, then come along."

Yu Yu Haitang then smiled happily.

Yu Li, who was on the side, saw it all.

Her younger sister was completely infatuated with Chen Tian.

However, Yu Li was not worried.

After all, Chen Tian had such good conditions; he was the most outstanding man she had ever met.

Yu Li also recognized Chen Tian's character.

She wasn't worried that Yu Yu Haitang would be bullied.

Perhaps, by following Chen Tian, Yu Yu Haitang's work would also get better and better; why not?

After cleaning up, Yu Li said goodbye to Chen Tian and Yu Yu Haitang and went home.

Staying at Chen Tian's house for one night felt very comfortable, but there was no way around it; she had to go home.

Yu Yu Haitang also went out to work with Chen Tian.

When the two of them left, the Deaf Old Lady hid by the window with a vicious look. Only after seeing them walk out of the backyard did she come out of her house, cursing.

"Heartless little bastard, sooner or later you'll be hit by a car!"

The Deaf Old Lady was so hungry she was about to faint.

The fragrance from Chen Tian's house this morning had almost killed her with craving.

At this moment, guessing that Sha Zhu had also woken up, the Deaf Old Lady planned to go to Sha Zhu's house to try her luck and see if there was anything delicious.

In the middle courtyard, Sha Zhu was washing his face.

Early in the morning, Sha Zhu felt uncomfortable in his heart.

It was as if a breath was stuck and couldn't come out.

Sha Zhu couldn't say why, feeling it was inexplicable.

"Da, da."

The Deaf Old Lady came to the middle courtyard, leaning on her cane.

As soon as Sha Zhu looked up, he saw her.

An inexplicable irritability surged into his heart instantly.

Sha Zhu was stunned; why did he feel so repulsed when he saw the Deaf Old Lady?

Listening to Chen Tian's speech, Factory Director Yang was incredibly excited.

This was the biggest task he had been responsible for since becoming the director of the rolling mill.

Now, he was also temporarily in charge of the steel mill.

Factory Director Yang couldn't sleep from worry every day, fearing that the steel mill wouldn't complete the tasks assigned from above.

Having spent so much manpower and material resources, if the task wasn't completed in the end, he would feel he had let the country down.

Now, Chen Tian's words were like a reassurance, giving Factory Director Yang infinite confidence.

"Engineer Chen, this is all thanks to you!"

"The steel mill was built and put into production so quickly, with such high efficiency, and the product quality is beyond reproach!"

"I will definitely report you for a merit!"

Factory Director Yang held Chen Tian's hand tightly and wouldn't let go.

Because of Chen Tian, Factory Director Yang's official career had also been very smooth.

The leaders above were very satisfied with the work of the steel mill, and he had also received a lot of praise.

When drinking water, one should not forget those who dug the well; Factory Director Yang understood that this was all Chen Tian's credit, and he had to hold onto Chen Tian's thigh tightly.

In the future, he would definitely make more and greater contributions.

"Director, although our factory's initial design was an annual output of 500,000 tons, after further modifications and technical upgrades, the output can still be increased!"

Chen Tian's words made Factory Director Yang go crazy again!

If this could really be achieved, the whole country would undoubtedly be boiling!

"That's great!"

"Engineer Chen, don't worry, I will arrange the organizational matters. You just focus on your work and do scientific research!"

Factory Director Yang was incredibly excited; he didn't expect Chen Tian to give him another big surprise.

"I'll go contact the experts in the district and invite them to discuss the next steps for the steel mill together!"

"By the way, Engineer Chen, there is one more thing about you that I will announce to the whole factory next."

Factory Director Yang acted mysterious.

This made Chen Tian somewhat curious.

Seeing Chen Tian's interested look, Factory Director Yang felt somewhat proud.

He had arranged this activity specifically, and he had asked the leaders for permission and received strong support from above.

"Comrades, quiet down, I am now announcing a piece of news!"

Over the broadcast, Factory Director Yang's voice could not hide his excitement.

The workers stopped their work, looked up, and listened quietly.

This was the first time Factory Director Yang had broadcast to the whole factory since the steel mill was established.

They didn't know what important matter it could be.

"Dear fellow workers!"

"The reason our Red Star Steel Mill was able to be built so quickly is all thanks to Engineer Chen Tian!"

"And our vast number of worker brothers! It is through everyone's joint efforts that we have today's magnificent steel mill!"

"The factory leadership team has decided, with the support of the main district leaders, to hold a celebration meeting tonight!"

"At that time, there will be a factory-wide banquet and a wonderful performance by the district cultural troupe!"

Factory Director Yang's words immediately caused a sensation in the factory!

"Good! Good! Good!"

"Engineer Chen! Engineer Chen! Engineer Chen!"

A celebration meeting!

A factory-wide banquet!

And a wonderful performance by the cultural troupe!

The workers were incredibly excited; this was a banquet for tens of thousands of people, a grand gathering!

It hadn't been held for many years, and the scene must be magnificent!

The workers cheered loudly, shouting Chen Tian's name incessantly.

"Engineer Chen, you are still single, right?"

"There will be many female comrades from the cultural troupe present tonight, you must seize the opportunity."

Factory Director Yang gave Chen Tian a meaningful look.

Chen Tian was stunned and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

So Factory Director Yang was so concerned about his personal life.

However, watching such a grand performance wouldn't be bad.

It was much more interesting than lying on the bed after eating.

Yu Yu Haitang was following Chen Tian and naturally heard Factory Director Yang's words.

She was immediately unhappy.

Couldn't Factory Director Yang see that she liked Chen Tian and was interested in him?

Why did he still have to invite the cultural troupe to perform, and specifically tell Chen Tian to seize the opportunity?

Yu Yu Haitang felt a strong sense of crisis.

The girls who could join the cultural troupe must be one-in-a-hundred good seedlings.

Not only did they have to be beautiful, but they also had to have good figures and be able to sing and dance.

Unlike her, she couldn't dance and sang poorly; only her face and figure could be considered good.

Compared to the girls in the cultural troupe, she really had no advantage.

"No, I can't let Chen Tian be snatched away like this."

"Chen Tian must be mine!"

Yu Yu Haitang secretly made up her mind that she must win Chen Tian over.

In the factory, the people from the Sihe Academy who heard this news had different expressions.

"Cultural troupe?"

"Doesn't that mean many beauties are coming!"

Xu Xu Damao was overjoyed.

Facing Lou Xiao'e all day, he had long been tired of her.

After learning that he was a "dead end," Lou Xiao'e's attitude had become much colder, and the two had been sleeping in separate beds for several months.

Xu Xu Damao had long been suppressing a fire.

As a projectionist in the rolling mill's propaganda department, Xu Xu Damao had been to the cultural troupe to show movies several times and knew that it was full of beautiful young girls.

Those figures, those singing voices, were just like in the movies.

Xu Xu Damao rubbed his hands excitedly, planning to tidy himself up well tonight, put hair gel on his hair, wear his treasured leather coat, and make a good appearance.

Maybe some little sister would take a fancy to him.

Yi Yi Zhonghai stood blankly on the spot, his thoughts drifting to the clouds.

Factory Director Yang's words caused a ripple in his calm heart.

Having been married to his wife for so many years without any children, the couple had long gone for checkups.

The result was that his wife couldn't conceive.

Yi Yi Zhonghai did not choose to divorce because of this.
