The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 199 Something is wrong

Li Huaide has gained weight recently and has been invited to banquets every night. He wanted to take Liu Hua with him, but Liu Hua refused.

Liu Hua now feels an invisible pressure on his shoulders, and urgent stress. He must complete all the designs and prototypes before the middle of the year, otherwise he might really fail.

Li Huaide just thought that Liu Hua didn't like this kind of welcoming and seeing off scene, so he didn't investigate further. He had been so proud of himself recently that he didn't notice that Liu Hua had started to work overtime for an hour every day on his own initiative.

The progress of the hot rolling mill and continuous rolling mill is very fast. Li Huaide authorized Liu Hua to mobilize any personnel to cooperate without affecting the normal production of the factory.

So Liu Hua directly carried out the production and assembly of the new design with great fanfare. While Li Huaide was drinking, the hot rolling mill had already taken shape in just over a month.

"When did this happen?" Li Huaide looked at the assembled hot rolling mill in front of him in surprise, and asked in confusion: "Such an important matter, why didn't you report it to me in advance?"

"How busy are you every day?" Liu Hua said with a smile: "Besides, after going through so many big things, what else will be a big thing in the future? It's assembled and waiting for you to test drive it."

Li Huaide nodded: "That's right, the achievements of our factory are too impressive. Although this is also a great achievement, there is no need to mobilize as many troops as before, which would make us look like we have no knowledge."

Liu Hua smiled and asked, "We have to work non-stop tonight. Do you still want to wait here?"

"I'm afraid I can't stay." Li Huaide shook his head: "Someone invited me to dinner tonight, and I can't refuse. The leader introduced me here, so I have to give him face."

"You're getting cocky." Liu Hua said jokingly, "You're starting to get complacent. You don't even take such an important matter seriously. You're starting to indulge in eating and drinking. Be careful that the people above you may have a bad impression of you."

Li Huaide waved his hands and frowned, saying, "When you get to my position, you'll know that sometimes you can't help yourself. You think I like to get drunk every day. Drinking three taels a day can relieve fatigue, but drinking three catties a day is torture."

Li Huaide drank a lot at night, but he still asked the driver to take him to the factory and slept in his office for half the night. When he sobered up, the results of the hot rolling experiment came out.

"The result is good." Li Huaide looked at the report with satisfaction: "It is much better than our previous rolling mill."

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have worked overtime in vain."

After completing the hot rolling mill, Liu Hua devoted himself to the research of continuous rolling technology. Li Huaide became a little strange and stopped communicating with him recently.

When Liu Hua was about to go to his office, he found him studying a book with a red cover. Liu Hua already knew what was going to happen.

Li Huaide called Liu Hua: "How come you have time to come out of the experimental workshop? Is there anything you need my cooperation with?"

"It's okay. The continuous rolling technology is almost ready." Liu Hua said with a smile: "I saw that you didn't pay much attention to the factory's affairs recently. I thought you climbed up the ladder and were going to the department."

Li Huaide shook his head: "This matter cannot be rushed. When you have time, don't just immerse yourself in technical research. When you have time, you should also pay attention to the study of theoretical level."

Liu Hua nodded: "Then is it too late for me to apply to join the organization now?"

Li Huaide said in surprise: "You haven't joined yet?"

"I just graduated from high school. I wasn't particularly outstanding at that time, so how could I join? Later, when I started working in the factory, you kept asking me to study technology. How could I have the time to join?" Li Huaide slammed the table and said, "How can this be possible? Join immediately. I will be your introducer."

Li Huaide immediately found the person in charge of the relevant department and included Liu Hua as an activist in the investigation.

As his most capable right-hand man, Li Huaide attached great importance to this matter and treated it as the top priority of the factory, even the research on continuous rolling technology had to take precedence over this.

On the day when the continuous rolling technology test was successful, Liu Hua successfully joined the organization and became a glorious member.

Li Huaide reported his results with great satisfaction, and his superiors were also satisfied, not only because he had researched so many technologies, but also because he had developed such a strong technician into a member of the organization. Li Huaide made an indispensable contribution. For a whole half month, his mouth was as wide as a lotus flower.

The research on the rolling mill has come to an end, and the rest of the time I just teach classes to external engineers and slack off in the office.

He couldn't even walk around the workshop now. Ma Yushan told him to rest more, saying that they would maintain the machines in the factory and Liu Hua didn't need to worry about it.

Over the years, the technical department has benefited a lot from Liu Hua's work, and many people have had their salaries raised. After all, following an engineer like Liu Hua, even if you don't want to learn, you can be influenced by him, and the technical level of each person has increased by three levels on average.

Therefore, Liu Hua is simply the treasure of the technical department. Others never let Liu Hua do the hard, tiring and heavy work. Even if they have to suffer a lot and sweat a lot, they will not let Liu Hua touch a finger.

Liu Hua stayed in the office every day, drinking tea, reading newspapers, learning the latest ideas, or studying the quotations that Li Huaide had given him.

Peaceful days are comfortable. Liu Hua walks around the yard with the child in his arms. The half-year-old boy is busy as soon as he wakes up every day, so Liu Hua can only hold him and play with him everywhere.

Sha Zhu muttered beside Liu Hua: "Something seems to be wrong recently."

"What's wrong?" Liu Hua asked with a smile: "If even you can sense that something is wrong, then this is a big deal. How come I don't feel it?"

"I recently went to the boss's house to cook." Sha Zhu sighed, "I felt that the atmosphere in their house seemed very tense. They no longer talked and laughed with me like before, and sometimes they even played Go."

"Can you play Go?"

Sha Zhu nodded: "Who are you looking down on? Why can't I play Go?"

"I can only play chess, but you can actually play Go." Liu Hua gave a thumbs up, then smiled and said, "Son, I give a thumbs up to your Uncle Zhuzi, who can actually play Go. When you grow up, let Uncle Zhuzi teach you."

"Just teach Guodong how to play Go, that's no problem." Sha Zhu said proudly: "My Go level is not bad, at least the big boss can't beat me."

"No, I'm not talking to you about playing Go." Sha Zhu suddenly realized, "I'm talking about the atmosphere being a little off. The big boss seems very nervous. I overheard that it seems like he's having trouble getting his work done."

Liu Hua shook his head: "Zhu Zi, you are just a cook and I am an engineer. Some things are too advanced for us to handle."
