Chapter 640 Turning the Tide
Suning drove the Eastern European car that Zhang Kejian had lent him, and brought the water plant director and Song Yunhui to the guesthouse at the chemical headquarters. Because of the leadership of the water plant director, a big shot, the guesthouse quickly arranged two rooms for Suning and the other two. Of course, the water plant director lived alone in a large single room, while Suning and Song Yunhui were squeezed into a standard room with two beds.

"Director Water Plant, it's because your boss has a lot of connections, otherwise Song Yunhui and I wouldn't be able to stay in such a nice guesthouse." Suning looked around the guesthouse with very good conditions and complimented Director Water Plant with a look of surprise on his face.

"Suning, you and Song Yunhui should study and work hard, there will be bread and milk too!" After all, the water plant director is old, and he is very happy with Suning's flattery, and he also feels a wonderful feeling of it being a subtle and silent influence.

"What the water plant director said makes sense, but can this room be opened for a few more days?" Seeing that the water plant director was happy with the flattery, Suning immediately stated his request.

"Suning, hasn't a dormitory been arranged for you?" The water plant director was a little surprised to hear Suning's request. Even Song Yunhui, who was busy making the bed, looked at him in surprise.

"Director of the Water Plant, you don't know that with four people squeezed into one room, the sour smell and snoring are too torturous. I just thought I could come here occasionally to catch up on some sleep." Looking at the stunned faces of the Director of the Water Plant and Song Yunhui, Suning explained to them with a wry smile.

"You little brat, you really know how to enjoy yourself." After hearing Suning's bizarre explanation, the water plant director was so angry that he laughed.

"Hehe, there's nothing I can do! I'm a light sleeper and I can't stand any noise."

"Well, Suning, after Song Yunhui and I finish our business, I will leave the room I'm living in to you, but you need to pay for it yourself, and you can only stay for one more week." The water plant director quickly agreed to Suning's request, but at the same time he also put forward his own restrictions.

"Thank you, Director of the Water Plant! You are truly my angel." In the early 1980s, it was indeed not easy to live in a guesthouse with good conditions.

"You little brat, then go work for your angel!" Looking at the lazy Suning in front of him, the water plant director suddenly felt how good it was to be young and energetic.

"Yes! Director of the water plant."

The water plant director and Song Yunhui's trip to Beijing this time can be said to be determined to succeed. He went there in person to make connections and make appointments with chemical experts. Suning and Song Yunhui were busy looking up various materials. The three of them had clear division of labor in their work, and Suning could also take the opportunity to further expand his chemical knowledge.

"Song Yunhui, I heard that something happened in your family?" After a busy and tense whole day, Su Ning suddenly remembered the tragedy of the Song family.

"Well, my sister passed away." When Song Yunhui heard this question from his colleague Su Ning, his voice sounded a little sad and low. The death of his sister was the greatest sorrow in his life.

"Oh! My condolences." He was not an omnipotent creator god, and he did not get too involved in the trivial matters of the Song and Lei families.

"Thank you!"

"Song Yunhui, let's talk about something happy." After all, he had experienced too many worlds and seen too many joys and sorrows, so he forced a smile and changed the subject, "Yang Xun and Xun Jianxiang's clothing business is doing very well, and they are planning to expand it recently."

"Oh? Suning, it seems that we were right to let Daxun resign from Jinzhou Chemical Plant." Hearing Suning suddenly mention Yang Xun and Xun Jianxiang, Song Yunhui felt a little warmth in the world.

"That's right! Xun Jianxiang and Yang Xun are a golden pair. I didn't expect them to be so awesome." Suning was also very satisfied with the performance of Yang Xun and Xun Jianxiang, and felt that this was an unexpected surprise.

"Suning, you originally arranged for Yang Xun to be in charge of purchasing and sales, and Daxun to be in charge of financial and security issues. Did you feel that Yang Xun was not very reliable?" At this time, Song Yunhui suddenly looked at Suning meaningfully and asked.

"Yes! Although I haven't had much contact with Yang Xun, I can sense that he has a lot of ideas. I still feel that Xun Jianxiang is a true brother."

"Suning, are you thinking too much?" Although Song Yunhui believed in Suning's ability, he still had some doubts about Suning's evaluation of Yang Xun.

"Song Yunhui, human nature is the most complex and cannot be tested, so I can only be a villain first and a gentleman later."

"Huh?" At this moment, Song Yunhui suddenly felt that being a human being was really difficult.

In fact, two hundred thousand yuan is not a huge number for Suning now, and it is a reward given to him by the stupid system. Now if he gives it to Xun Jianxiang and Yang Xun to deal with, maybe it can really change their tragic fate, and maybe it can also make Yang Xun no longer be as profit-driven as in the original drama.

The water plant director's trip to Beijing went very smoothly. Not long after, he made an appointment with Director Yin, a chemical expert, and then went to visit him with his two followers, Suning and Song Yunhui. The following plot was the same as in the original drama. The fledgling Song Yunhui was overwhelmed by Director Yin's vast chemical knowledge and vision.

Song Yunhui and Director Yin didn't discuss for long before Song Yunhui was knocked out by Director Yin, the industry giant. Although Director Yin also admired Song Yunhui's chemical knowledge and youthful potential, he still came to an unquestionable conclusion in the end, which ended this fantasy debate between a rookie and an industry giant.

"Song Yunhui, when we choose chemical technology, we should not only consider the technological advancement and foresight, but also pay more attention to the compatibility and practicality of the technology." Seeing that Song Yunhui was so young and promising, Director Yin couldn't help but feel a desire to appreciate talent, and then said something more to the rookie in front of him.

"This..." Although the rookie was crushed by the industry giant in front of him, it also opened a wider window for the rookie.

The water plant director was dizzy listening to the various chemical terms used by Song Yunhui and Director Yin. Seeing that his confidant Song Yunhui was ruthlessly crushed by Director Yin, he showed a very disappointed expression. He realized that he had thought the matter too simply and suddenly lost hope for this trip to Beijing.

"Mr. Yin, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to meet with us. This must have affected your normal work, so we will take our leave first." Looking at Song Yunhui who was drooping his head in front of him, the water plant director could only force a smile and stood up to say goodbye to Director Yin.

"Haha, Lao Shui, you're too polite. If you have anything, feel free to come to Beijing to find me." Seeing the water plant director take his leave, Director Yin smiled and stood up, looking at the water plant director and said, "Because I have to go to Yingjiang for an inspection in a few days, I have been quite busy recently."

"Director Yin, Director of the Water Plant, can I interrupt and say a few more words?" Seeing that this technical discussion was about to end in a whimper, Suning knew that it was time for him to turn the tide.

"Oh? Who is this?" Director Yin looked at Su Ning in surprise. He felt that Su Ning was even younger and more handsome than Song Yunhui. He suddenly realized that the water plant director really valued young people.

"Haha, Old Yin, this is Su Ning, the foreign language translator from our Jinzhou Chemical Plant. He's recently been seconded to Beijing BAIC to translate materials." Although he was a little displeased with Su Ning's interruption, the water plant director still smiled and introduced Su Ning, saying, "This time, I also want to bring a young person out to see the world. I hope you don't mind, Old Yin!"

"Haha, Lao Shui, you're too kind." After hearing the water plant director's introduction and explanation, Director Yin smiled and nodded without comment, then looked at Su Ning disapprovingly, "Suning, just say whatever you want to say."

"Director Yin, Director of the Water Plant, when I first started working at the Jinzhou Chemical Plant, I heard that Jinzhou wanted to introduce this FRC technology." Seeing that Director Yin had actually agreed to let him speak, Su Ning lamented how approachable the industry expert was, and quickly expressed his opinion. "Then I specifically looked up this FRC technology and found out that it was first used by a kerosene plant in Japan in 1958. It's actually an old technology from over 30 years ago, and in the ever-changing chemical industry, it really seems a bit behind the times."

"Moreover, the disadvantages of FRC technology are also very obvious. It takes up a lot of space, has low output, and is highly polluting. Of course, it is indeed more compatible with the existing technology of Jinzhou Chemical Plant."

"So when I arrived in Beijing, I went to the Huaxia Import and Export Corporation and looked up the technology and information on import and export products. I discovered that many countries around the world are using this FRC technology. At the same time, more than ten chemical plants in our country have applied to use FRC technology. This means that even if the products produced by this FRC technology have a market life of ten years, we will definitely face the embarrassing situation of not being able to sell them again ten years later."

"So I personally believe that since Jinzhou Chemical Plant is already a leading enterprise in the domestic chemical industry, we need to continue to play our leading role and make this FRC technology available to other companies. Jinzhou Chemical Plant only needs to throw off all burdens and be at the forefront of technology, because only in this way can we fill the gap in our domestic chemical industry."

Director Yin, the water plant manager and Song Yunhui all stared blankly at Suning in front of them. Even the water plant manager, who was a technical novice, could understand Suning's explanation. This was because the language used by Suning was completely from the simple to the complex and easy to understand, which made Director Yin and the other two feel refreshed and surprised.

"Old Shui, your Jinzhou Chemical Plant is truly remarkable!" Upon hearing Suning's convincing industry analysis, Director Yin looked at Director Shui with delight and delight, his face filled with emotion as he said, "Of the two young people you brought here today, one specializes in technical analysis, while the other takes a different approach, analyzing from a market perspective. With these two perspectives combined, your Jinzhou Chemical Plant's report is now completely solid."

"Old Yin, do you mean that our technical report is feasible?" Hearing Director Yin's affirmation of him, the water plant director couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised.

"Yes! Lao Shui, this technical report is completely feasible." Looking at the water plant director in front of him who was inexplicably surprised, Secretary Yin couldn't help but feel a little envious. Then he looked at Su Ning with a relieved expression and asked, "Xiao Su, do you have a detailed market report?"

"Yes! This is the market report I recently made. Please help me correct it, Director Yin." Suning quickly took out an industry report from his briefcase and respectfully handed it to Director Yin in front of him.

Director Yin took the report from Su Ning and opened it in front of everyone. However, as time passed, he felt more and more surprised. After a long time, Director Yin looked up at the director of the water plant and said, "Old Shui, I will call in chemical experts to conduct a demonstration tomorrow. I think this matter is almost certain."

"Ah? Haha, that's great! Thank you, Old Yin, for your help." The water plant director couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised to see that after a long journey, there seemed to be a way out.

"Haha, Lao Shui, the main reason is that you have prepared sufficiently. You have taken into consideration both the chemical technology and the product market. The technical expert group will definitely agree with your plan." Director Yin looked at the water plant director in front of him with envy. It is not easy to get talents from two industries at the same time.

"Haha, great!"

"Xiao Su, since you are a full-time translator, can you use English?" Without paying attention to the ecstatic water plant director, Director Yin suddenly looked at Su Ning beside him in confusion.

"Director Yin, I can! My English is pretty good." Although he didn't know why Director Yin asked this question, Su Ning still nodded and explained with a smile.

"Well, Xiao Su, I have a chemical engineering document written purely in English. I'm going to be lazy today and ask you to help me translate it." Director Yin took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Su Ning, then gave Su Ning a small test.

"Director Yin, are you in a hurry to get this information?" Su Ning took the information in surprise and flipped through it casually. He felt that translating this information was not too difficult.

"Well, I need it tomorrow, so you'd better translate it here." Director Yin nodded with a smile on his face. This English document was his goal in this trip to Eagle Sauce.

"Okay then! Director Yin, I'll try to translate it for you tonight."

"Oh? Xiao Su, you can do it so quickly?" Director Yin showed a surprised expression. Seeing Su Ning's confidence, he smiled and said, "Then you can translate the materials now. I'll have my secretary bring you lunch."

"Yes! Director Yin."

The water plant manager watched Director Yin's operations quietly, knowing that this was because Suning had entered Director Yin's sight, and Director Yin was also testing Suning's true level. He couldn't help but feel surprised for Suning in his heart.

Song Yunhui was not a complete blockhead, and he soon realized Director Yin's true intention. He looked at Su Ning with envy, and was proud of his colleague in his heart.

Regarding this technical demonstration trip to Beijing, Song Yunhui went from being full of high spirits at the beginning to feeling disappointed just now, and then to the unexpected turn of events now. He felt as excited as riding a roller coaster. Of course, he also knew that Suning was the main contributor to this technology introduction.

……

Around five o'clock in the afternoon, Suning handed the translated materials to Director Yin, and then waited obediently for Director Yin's approval. Director Yin couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised to see that the materials translated by Suning were so accurate.

"Xiao Su, your English is really good! You are worthy of being a professional foreign language translator. Many obscure chemical knowledge is so detailed and standard!" Looking at the handsome and capable Su Ning in front of him, Director Yin showed a satisfied smile.

"Director Yin, since I was assigned to work at Jinzhou Chemical Plant, I have been diligently studying chemical engineering knowledge." Su Ning was very confident in his chemical engineering skills, and then explained to Director Yin with a smile, "My chemical engineering level may still be a little behind Song Yunhui, but it will definitely be enough for translation."

"Haha, Xiao Su, you're not modest at all." Director Yin looked at Su Ning with a delighted expression, feeling that the young man in front of him had no sense of modesty at all. "Xiao Su, how is your spoken English?" "Director Yin, it's easy for me to communicate with foreigners."

"Well, Xiao Su, I'm going to MIT in Boston in a few days. I want you to be my translator, but I don't know if you're willing?" Director Yin looked at Su Ning in front of him with a smile, and then extended a job invitation to Su Ning.

"Director Yin, since I am still working as a translator in BAIC, I need to go back and ask our Director Zhang." At this time, Suning was really tempted, but he was still sober and did not agree directly.

"Director Zhang? Is that Zhang Kejian from the BAIC Translation Department?" Director Yin asked Su Ning in surprise.

"Yes! It's Director Zhang Kejian."

"Well, I'll talk to Lao Zhang. Xiao Su, do you want to go by yourself?" Hearing that it was an old acquaintance of his, Director Yin looked at Su Ning indifferently and asked.

"Director Yin, I'm willing! As long as our Director Zhang agrees to release the person, I also want to go to Yingjiang to see it for myself." Seeing Director Yin's sincere invitation, Suning immediately agreed without hesitation.

"Haha, okay! Then go back and prepare in the next few days."

"Yes! Director Yin."

By the time Suning left the chemical headquarters, Song Yunhui and the water plant director had already set off back to Jinzhou. After all, their trip to Beijing was a complete success. They drove directly to the residential area where Zhang Kejian lived, stopped on the way and bought a lot of gifts. Then they knocked on Zhang Kejian's door with the gifts.

"Xiao Su, you're here?" It was Zhang Kejian's wife who opened the door for Su Ning, and she immediately let Su Ning in with surprise.

"Auntie, is the director at home?" Su Ning looked at the old lady in front of him who also had a kind face, and then asked Zhang Kejian's wife with a smile.

"Yes! In the study!"

"Auntie, these are some gifts I bought for you and the director. I hope you two don't mind." Su Ning handed over the gifts he brought, and then said to Zhang Kejian's wife with a smile.

"Xiao Su, your Director Zhang doesn't like to accept gifts randomly, so you'd better take these things away later!" Zhang Kejian's wife kept refusing, and finally made a request to Su Ning.

"Auntie! I've been to your house for dinner many times. It's only natural for me to buy some gifts for you and the director. I'm not asking our director to do anything for me." Su Ning explained with a smile on his face. Then, he wanted to get up and look for Zhang Kejian, so he casually explained to the old lady, "Auntie, I'm going to Director Zhang's study first. I have something important to report to him."

"Okay! Go!"

Su Ning knocked on the door of Zhang Kejian's study, then walked straight into the study, "Director Zhang, I'm back."

"Well, Xiao Su! I just received a call from Director Yin from the Chemical Headquarters. He wants you to be his temporary interpreter?" Looking at Su Ning who came back, Zhang Kejian remembered the call he had just received.

"Yes! Director Yin is going to MIT in New York soon and wants me to follow him as a temporary interpreter." Suning didn't expect Director Yin to be so quick, and nodded quickly with a smile.

"Well, Xiao Su, do you want to go with me to Eagle Sauce?"

"Director, the opportunity to go abroad is rare, so I really want to go and see it."

"Well, that's fine! Then you can accompany Director Yin there." Zhang Kejian smiled and nodded, then looked at Su Ning seriously and asked, "Xiao Su, do you have any plans for your future development?"

"Huh? Director, I'm just a full-time translator now, and I haven't really thought about too many things." Hearing Zhang Kejian's sudden question, Su Ning shook his head in confusion.

"Suning, the chemical industry and the automobile industry are two completely different fields, so you need to determine a development direction. It is absolutely impossible to take care of both at the same time." Seeing that Suning did not consider so much, Zhang Kejian explained to Suning.

"Director, I understand. I will consider this issue carefully."

"Well, Suning, you are a good seedling, and I also hope that you can have good development." Seeing that Suning understood his good intentions, Zhang Kejian nodded with a smile on his face.

"Thank you for your concern, Director! I won't let you down."

After obtaining Zhang Kejian's consent, Suning left Zhang's house directly and returned to his dormitory to prepare for going abroad. After all, going abroad still requires going through many complicated procedures, and it is not as free and unrestrained as visiting two families.

Watching Su Ning leave the Zhang family, Zhang Kejian's wife also walked into the study. "Old Zhang, I just heard Su Ning say that he's going to Boston on a business trip?"

"Yes! Yin Fang from the Chemical Industry Headquarters is going to MIT for academic exchange, so he wants Su Ning, who understands chemical technology, to be his personal translator."

"Oh? Old Zhang, do you want to ask Suning to bring some things to Tingting?" After hearing his wife Zhang Kejian's confirmation explanation, Zhang Kejian's wife suggested in surprise.

"Huh? What to bring? The Americans have everything they need, so why would they care about our things?" Zhang Kejian looked at his wife speechlessly. He felt very annoyed and irritated when he suddenly mentioned his daughter to his wife.

"Hey! Tingting hasn't come back for years?" Although she thought what Zhang Kejian said made sense and might cause trouble for Suning, Zhang Kejian's wife still said worriedly, "Old Zhang, I don't know if Tingting has a good relationship with that David!"

"Old woman, a daughter who's married off is like spilled water." Zhang Kejian actually missed his daughter, but he was quite helpless. "Since Tingting chose to take a gamble and marry a hawk, we as parents are powerless to do anything. So let's stop worrying about this ungrateful person."

As the saying goes, every family has its own problems. Although Zhang Kejian is happy to have two children, a son and a daughter, and his career and family are very happy, there are still things that make them upset. For example, when their daughter was studying abroad, she chose to marry an American. Since her daughter went abroad to study and has never returned to China to work now, the old couple still miss their daughter very much.

At this time, Suning was packing his documents in the dormitory when he saw a colleague from BAIC walk in. When he saw Suning in the dormitory, he said with surprise, "Suning, it's a good thing you are in the dormitory today. Someone is looking for you downstairs."

"Oh? Thank you! I'll be right down."

Su Ning put away his various documents in surprise, then walked straight down the dormitory building. Then he saw a familiar figure at the door of the dormitory building. "Song Li, how did you know I was at BAIC?"

"Suning, I heard it from Song Chen. I happened to be passing through the capital, so I came to see you." Song Li explained to Su Ning with a smile, showing that she came from a family of scholars.

"Oh? How is Song Chen now?" It was only then that Su Ning remembered to ask about Song Chen's situation.

"He's fine! He's already working at the Huaihai District Construction Committee in Magic City."

"Oh my god! Song Chen is so awesome." Upon hearing about Song Chen's new job, Su Ning couldn't help but be amazed.

"Hey! Our family also relied on a lot of connections this time."

"Song Li, have you eaten? How about I treat you to a meal?" At this moment, Su Ning looked up and saw the situation on the dormitory building. Curious colleagues were lying on almost every window, and then he invited Song Li with some embarrassment.

"Haha, I'll treat you. It's all thanks to you that Song Chen's incident happened last time." Song Li also noticed the situation of the dormitory windows and felt a little amused by their curiosity.

Then Suning took Song Li out of the BAIC dormitory building, and went to a nice restaurant for dinner before sending Song Li back to the guesthouse where she was staying. The customs of this era were completely different from the openness of later generations, so even if Suning wanted to take Song Li back to the chemical headquarters guesthouse, Song Li would definitely not follow Suning's arrangements, so Suning did not make any excessive demands.

……

Now that Suning has Director Yin's approval, the technology introduction to Jinzhou Chemical Plant has become very simple. At the discussion and dialectical meeting of chemical experts the next day, it was decided without any suspense to adopt Song Yunhui's technology introduction report. This time, the technology introduction work of Jinzhou Chemical Plant was also handed over to the director of the water plant.

The water plant director, who had already determined his retirement time, turned the tables again because of the technology introduction and gained a second spring in his chemical career. He successfully took the right to speak in Jinzhou Chemical Plant into his own hands again and successfully kicked Director Fei and Chief Engineer Liu out of the power center of Jinzhou Chemical.

Song Yunhui did not get the so-called importance he had imagined, because he is too young now, so he was still neglected like in the original drama. He was directly arranged by the water plant director to the maintenance branch of Jinzhou Chemical Plant. I just don’t know if he can meet his future father-in-law and future wife in the original drama.

At this time, Suning was sitting on a plane to the United States with Director Yin from the chemical headquarters. This also added a layer of gold to Suning's resume and laid the foundation for Suning's future development. After all, experience and qualifications are the most important foundation for a career.

"Xiao Su, have you ever been to Yingjiang before?" Director Yin asked Su Ning with a smile, looking at the young man sitting next to him.

"No! When I was studying in Shanghai, I always heard other people talk about the situation of the Eagle Sauce." Thinking of the arrangements made by the system for him, Suning smiled and shook his head at Director Yin.

"Well, I often need to travel for academic exchanges, and I feel that the diet in the US is very different from ours."

"Director Yin, I'm actually a pretty good cook too." Hearing Director Yin complain about the Eagle Sauce's diet, Su Ning suddenly smiled and said to Director Yin, "If you really can't get used to the Eagle Sauce's diet, I can go to the Chinese restaurant over there and cook Chinese food for you myself."

"Oh? Xiao Su, you also know something about cooking?" Hearing Su Ning's confident assurance, Director Yin looked at Su Ning in surprise.

"Yes! Because I am usually a greedy person, I often like to study the food from different places."

"Haha, I really didn't realize that! Xiao Su, you are actually a multi-talented person." Director Yin also laughed when he saw that Su Ning had such a wide range of interests.

"Director Yin, I don't have many personal hobbies. Apart from reading in the library and looking for delicious food everywhere, many girls think I'm boring."

"Haha, that's not good! You don't act like a young person at all." Director Yin couldn't help laughing after hearing Suning's detailed explanation. "Suning, when we get to the Eagle Sauce, let's finish our work first, and then you can go out and have a look around."

"Thank you, Director Yin."
