Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 61 Brother and Sister-in-law Enter the City
"Although Xiaohua didn't tell me the details, I also inquired about it privately. It was this Zhou Fengnian who was pursuing Xiaohua before, and their relationship was progressing well."

After Zhang Anhong pondered for a while, he slowly told what he knew.

"Xiaohua has a strong personality and made many demands on Zhou Fengnian, including that he should not have any contact with his family after marriage. Zhou Fengnian couldn't accept this and separated from Xiaohua."

"But Zhou Fengnian is dating another female employee now, and it seems she is from Xiaohua's department. Xiaohua has been coming to my place every day recently because of this matter."

This matter is very simple. Zhang Anhong did not find out much about Zhou Fengnian bullying Xue Peihua, otherwise he would have found an excuse to take action long ago.

There is no suitable excuse. Zhou Fengnian is quite famous and his relationship with Luo Cheng is as good as that of a relative.

No matter how hard he tried as the deputy factory director, he could not do anything to Zhou Fengnian.

What's more, Zhou Fengnian's status in the factory is getting higher and higher, and he now also heads a machine tool research and development team.

If he succeeded, even if he was the deputy factory director, he would not be able to do anything to Zhou Fengnian.

After a while of silence at the dinner table, Xue Zhengli said, "He sounds like a good guy. An Hong, you were right to ignore Xiao Hua."

"What's good about that? He just separated from our Xiaohua and turned around to find another girl. Does he look like a decent person?"

Xue Peihua's mother Jiang Rong said with an unhappy look on her face: "Didn't you hear from An Hong that Zhou Fengnian and that Zhou Yan in the factory are having a hot affair, and now the news has spread all over the factory."

Xue Zhengli shook his head and said, "If she doesn't plan to date Xiaohua, isn't it normal for her to find someone new?"

"How can this be considered normal? Xiaohua is so nice. Even if the request is a little inappropriate, it shouldn't be changed just like that. How can this be normal?"

Although Jiang Rong knew that what Xue Peihua said was inappropriate, as Xue Peihua's mother, she always thought it was just a small problem.

"Don't get involved in young people's affairs, An Hong. You don't have to pay attention to Xiao Hua's request. She is not in the right in this matter."

Xue Zhengli said: "Xiaohua is now pestering the other party to cause trouble, and you don't know what he is thinking. What if you get involved and make the relationship too awkward, and Xiaohua blames you then? What should you do?"

"."

When Jiang Rong heard this, she immediately felt the same way. If her daughter was not happy, she would definitely ignore him and would not be so unwilling as she is now.

Xue Zhengli asked again: "An Hong, I remember that you were in charge of the technical department in the machinery factory. So that young man is your subordinate?"

"Whether they are subordinates or not, the people in the technical department have been ignoring me, their superior in charge, recently."

When Zhang Anhong talked about this matter, he felt unhappy and then complained to Xue Zhengli.

If it could be mixed in, the results of technical subjects might have a lot to do with him, but now it can't be mixed in, so the final result might be that his name will appear.

He may be in a corner or somewhere, and it will definitely not be his turn to be rewarded.

Just like in the Electrical Appliance Factory No. 1, he didn't get any benefit at all. It was obvious that the three electrical appliances were invented by people in the technical department, and it had nothing to do with him as the leader.

However, Zhang Anhong was just complaining to Xue Zhengli. The relationship between their two families had been very close since the previous generation. He and Xue Zhengli were classmates and had been friends for decades.

"An Hong, Xiao Hua is the one who caused you trouble this time, but if you want to subdue Zhou Fengnian, you still have a chance."

Xue Zhengli patted Zhang Anhong's shoulder embarrassedly, and then continued

"From what you said, he is a 22-year-old level 13 technician who has made many contributions. That young man is indeed a talent. He has also been with Xiaohua before. If they become a family..."

They were not traditional old revolutionaries. Xue Zhengli's father used to run a publishing house. He started to promote it vigorously in 1947 and actively cooperated.

Xue Zhengli is also a college student and has had many organizational experiences. With his good ability, he has now become the deputy mayor of Dongcheng District. In two or three years, there is a great hope that he will be promoted to the next level. The same is true for Zhang Anhong. They are all considered "young cadres."

They have always treated people who are outstanding and can be won over like this. Xue Zhengli has a brother-in-law who married into the Xue family in this way.

The machine tool team is working in full swing, and Zhou Fengnian is like an excellent helmsman, controlling the direction of the entire team.

Zhou Fengnian had built a CNC machine tool once in a simulation space and remembered the steps and data very clearly.

Now all we have to do is copy it.

The more difficult part is the electronic control system, but Zhou Fengnian will give a subtle reminder when the progress gets stuck, allowing the progress to continue.

I come very early and leave very late every day.

At noon and dinner time, Zhou Fengnian would take time to accompany his new partner and have dinner together, and then devote all his energy to the CNC machine tool team.

Even Mr. Luo, an elderly man, is busy all the time and has a lot of white hair.

Although Zhou Fengnian felt that Mr. Luo was old, in fact he was 53 years old, but Mr. Luo always claimed that he was in middle age and said that he could work for another 20 years before retiring.

Sometimes Zhou Fengnian felt embarrassed for directing Engineer Luo to do too much work, so he would use the kitchen to cook a pot of nourishing soup for the people in the machine tool group.

The ingredients are provided by the factory canteen, and he is the one who provides the cooking skills.

After the tonic soup was ready, everyone in the machine tool group praised it highly. It tasted so good that they really thought it was nourishing their bodies.

After this cooking experience, the news of Zhou Fengnian's excellent cooking skills spread. Huang Weijiang, Li Yaohui and others often joked with a smile that they must try his cooking if they had the chance.

Zhou Fengnian also patted his chest and promised that he would eat there once a week, and every weekend he would take a two-hour break and cook by himself.

Their CNC machine tool team works all weekend!
Even if other workers do not come on weekends, they still work, and the security department will keep three teams on patrol in rotation.

Although they didn't have a rest, Zhou Fengnian's cooking skills made them enjoy the meal.

Zhou Fengnian could improve his proficiency by cooking a meal for dozens of people, which enabled his cooking skills to improve rapidly.

Before, his skills were just slightly better than those of the chefs in state-owned restaurants, but now he is much better than the chefs in state-owned restaurants.

After his proficiency level increased by one level, Zhou Fengnian felt that his cooking skills should be comparable to those of level six or even level five cooks.

However, near the end of the month, Zhou Fengnian took two days off.

He first went to the street office and, using his elder brother and sister-in-law's letter of introduction and factory employment certificate, rented a back house and a side room at the street office where he currently lived.

The two houses are not big, only about 20 square meters in total, which means Zhou Fengnian could rent two rooms only if he had proof of employment for both employees.

If his sister-in-law had not been pregnant, Zhou Fengnian would have let her live in the dormitory.

But it has been two or three months now, and it is better to live outside. The staff dormitory is inconvenient.

After renting the house, Zhou Fengnian went to the countryside again to bring his eldest brother, second brother and eldest sister-in-law to the city.
