Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 528 Some people make up for sleeping, some make up for working.

After hearing Tang Xi's accusations, Chen Luyang was completely stunned.

He truly never expected that Old Dong would resort to such shameless tactics for the sake of the workshop!

"What should we do then..."

Chen Luyang scratched his head.

"Da Song just said he wanted to invite you guys to the old restaurant tonight to welcome me back."

"You're so popular now, are you still going tonight?"

Dong Mangui's matter is easy to handle; right now, the most important thing is to make a living.

He didn't eat enough at noon, so he's counting on dinner.

Tang Xi glared at him, displeased: "That won't do!"

“I’ll handle this tonight. Let him go to the back of the line.”

Chen Luyang immediately burst into laughter.

"I don't care which of you comes."

"I'll definitely go to the dinner, but you two decide who pays!"
He barely ate anything at the old restaurant at noon before going to the hospital, and now he's starving.

Da Xin's recipes now have more than thirty dishes!

That's a good time to finish the rest of the meal tonight.

Tang Xi snorted coldly, and then, as if by magic, the gloom on her face vanished, replaced by her usual enthusiastic smile.

Chen Luyang was completely convinced and couldn't help but give a thumbs up:

"Hey Da Le, your mood changes faster than my dad's!"

Tang Xi sighed, "A smile is worthless; it's a real pain to keep a straight face."

After get off work, when Da Xin saw Chen Luyang and another group of people coming to eat, his chubby face twitched a little.

"Brother Chen, is Engineer Cao alright?" Da Xin asked cautiously.

"It's nothing!" Chen Luyang told Daxin the doctor's diagnosis, and Daxin patted his chest in relief and slowly exhaled.

He was genuinely terrified...!!!
There are no secrets in a machine factory.

Within half a day, most of the factory had heard about Engineer Cao vomiting in front of the old restaurant.

At first, everyone was quite objective, saying that Cao Gongshi had drunk too much and vomited.

But as the story spread, it became incorrect.

Some say that Daxin's food is poisonous and has made people sick.

Some people even said that the old restaurant served fake alcohol and that people got drunk and ruined.

In addition to the previous green bean incident,

Daxin's hard-won reputation has been destroyed once again in a storm!
It's good if Cao Qinghang is alright.

If anything really happens, he won't live anymore!
woo woo woo woo.

Song Liaosha, who had spent the afternoon sleeping on the sofa in the office, was now placing an order with one hand on her hip and the other pointing to the small blackboard on the wall, passionately ordering dishes.

In terms of strength, methods, and ruthlessness!

Tang Xi was no match for him at all.

Before Tang Xi could finish speaking, Song Liaosha kicked her away with her buttocks.

He wasn't even given a chance to resist.

Kuku ordered food and drinks.

After a delicious meal and drinks.

Chairman Sui's nephew, Director Zhu's nephew, Director Feng's daughter, and Secretary Song's brother-in-law from the meat processing plant's Youth League Committee all looked on with longing after hearing about Chen Luyang's invincible days in Pian'er City.

"Brother Chen, do you need any help where you are? How about I?"

The brother-in-law of Secretary Song of the Youth League Committee of the meat processing plant was the first to fall head over heels for her.

Although the machine factory was not bad, eating, drinking and relieving oneself in the compound all day long became boring after a while.

If you go to the city, you'll see people from this unit or that government agency every day.

That would broaden your horizons!
"Sure! Why not!"

Chen Luyang chuckled and casually stuffed a piece of pork rib into her mouth.

Currently, only Director Lu is in charge of the repair shop in Pian'er City.

Although Director Lu is very approachable and can get along well with the surrounding neighbors, he can also maintain the unity of the team in the workshop.

But he's getting on in years, and his energy is limited.

It is already quite an achievement to be able to maintain the stability of the repair shop and ensure its normal operation.

Many things that require communication with other factories and organizations can only be handled by Chen Luyang alone.

The guys at this dinner table, although they're all from general departments and don't understand technical stuff,
But they have excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

Moreover, they all knew each other inside and out; they were all good brothers whom Song Liaosha had built up over time.
If I could get these people to come to Pian'er City to help, I could save a lot of energy.

“But not yet,” Chen Luyang said.

“My repair shop is small and crowded right now. I’ll try to expand it when I go back after the New Year. Once it’s more spacious, then we can talk about it again.”

"You want to expand the repair shop?" Director Zhu's nephew asked in surprise.

“Yes!” Chen Luyang nodded naturally.

"Wow... Brother Chen, you're amazing!" Song Liaosha looked at Chen Luyang with admiration.

"I thought only factories of our size and scale could be expanded. I didn't expect that you've only been here for half a year and we're already planning to expand."

Chen Luyang said with a smile, "You're the one who keeps talking. The machinery factory also grew from a few small workshops to its current size."

"Our ancestors were the same; they first guarded a river, and then their territory expanded."

Looking at the adoring gazes of everyone at the table,
Chen Luyang's expression turned profound as he said calmly:
"Progress is not measured by how much you achieve."

"Instead, we started from scratch and achieved our current success step by step."

Instantly, the entire audience was moved!
Just as they were getting into a lively conversation, Da Xin brought over a plate of red sausage:
"Come on, try this red sausage! I steamed it especially well, it's incredibly fragrant!"

Song Liaosha picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth triumphantly: "You guys have no idea! This plate of red sausage has been a huge help to me."

Tang Xi asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Song Liaosha said, "Now, whenever I go out of the province to make purchases, I just carry a few bags of red sausage and liquor candy with me. When I get there, I give the red sausage as a gift. It works really well!"

“Last time I went to Qicheng Steel Plant, the guy in the supply and marketing department really enjoyed our red sausage. Last year I even took two trains to deliver it to him.”

"That's why our factory was able to get that batch of scarce alloy steel smoothly this year, thanks to that guy's help."

"If you ask me, red sausage with wine and sugar is more effective than any official document or letter of introduction!"

Chen Luyang was shocked: "Our red sausage is this awesome now!?"

Song Liaosha patted her chest and said, "That's really awesome! This Dazhong brand red sausage was awarded the title of National High-Quality Product last year! There are only a few companies in the whole country that can make this list, and our province has several of them."

Director Zhu's nephew immediately chimed in: "Not only red sausage, but Zhengyanglou's dried sausage is also on the list! From now on, anyone who comes to our province will have to buy tickets and queue up just for these two sausages."

The brother-in-law of Secretary Song of the Youth League Committee of the meat processing plant stood tall.

"How could we not give it an award! That was made by my brother-in-law's technical backbone, it has to be delicious!"

Chen Luyang's eyes lit up.

Hey?!

That's really great.

He had been thinking about bringing some local specialties back to Pian'er City when school started.

Now that our red sausage has been rated as excellent, it's a good time to take it out and let everyone try it!
Speaking of food, Director Feng's daughter happily took out a small box of candy from her bag and placed it on the table: "Perfect! I also brought some 'local specialties' with me, Jianshe brand chocolate liqueur candies, which were awarded the title of high-quality product last year."

Chen Luyang picked one up, took a bite, and frowned: "Wow, this candy is really strong, there's really alcohol in it!"

Director Feng's daughter chuckled: "Of course, the real deal is when the liquor is strong!"

Chen Luyang clicked his tongue and said, "I think this sugar is even stronger than Da Le's alcohol tolerance!"

Tang Xi was holding a wine glass when he almost choked on it. His eyes widened and he said, "Brother Chen, stop talking nonsense!"

"Who says I can't drink? I drink more than anyone else!!"

Chen Luyang chuckled and chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes!"

"You walk a little unsteadily, but you're still very happy!"

Chairman Sui's nephew quickly chimed in, "How could he not be happy! Last time, Da Le drank three ounces of baijiu and started singing 'Yimeng Mountain Ballad' all over his head. He even held onto the factory's loudspeaker wire and wouldn't let go. The whole factory heard it."

The whole table burst into laughter.

Tang Xi slammed her hand on the table, her face flushed red: "That was an accident! An accident! I was just trying to liven things up!"

Song Liaosha added with a mischievous grin, "That really livened up the atmosphere, so much so that the factory security almost dragged you away."

"In the end, it was my brother-in-law Chen who covered his mouth, pried open his fingers, and carried him away."

The whole table burst into laughter.

Director Feng's daughter wiped away her tears and pushed the candy box towards Tang Xi:
"Come on, Da Le, if you're really not convinced, eat three liqueur-filled candies and show us what you've got!"

"Fine, I'll eat it! Why would I be afraid of sugar?!"

Tang Xi grabbed three in one swift motion and tilted her head back to pour them all into her mouth.

The next second, he frowned, his eyes widened like saucers, and he swallowed with difficulty, his cheeks puffed out.

"This stuff is so pungent!!!"

Song Liaosha almost laughed herself silly.

"This idiot is hopeless, he can't even outdrink candy!"

"From now on, you can stop calling yourself Tang Dale and start calling yourself 'Tang Santang'!"

Upon hearing this, everyone at the table burst into laughter, and Director Feng's daughter laughed so hard she slapped the table: "Good, good, Tang Santang! So fitting!"

Tang Xi blushed deeply from the laughter.

"Da Song, you even gave me a nickname!! All the nicknames I have in this factory are given to me by you!"

He slammed his hand on the table, stood up, put his hands on his hips, and yelled, "What are you laughing at?! I'm testing the waters for you guys! If the alcohol in this candy is too strong, I'll shield you from it!"

"Oh my goodness, he can even portray himself as a martyr!" Chen Luyang laughed uncontrollably, clutching her stomach.

"If it weren't for the 'liqueur-filled candy' label on the candy box, I would have thought you were testing poisoned wine for us!"

“Yes, yes, yes, sugar and wine go hand in hand!” Song, the secretary of the Youth League Committee of the meat processing plant, joined in the commotion.

"Come on, Da Le, give me three more, and you'll be a true hero!"

"Get lost!" Tang Xi grabbed a handful of peanuts from the table and threw them, causing everyone at the table to burst into laughter.

This laughter lasted until 10 p.m.

Stepping out of the restaurant, a gust of northwest wind blew, and Chen Luyang instantly sobered up!
"Brother Chen, aren't you going home?"

Song Liaosha watched Chen Luyang turn the handlebars toward the workshop and asked curiously.

"I'm not going back, I still have work to do," Chen Luyang replied.

All day long, he was like a big butterfly, flitting left and right, without actually doing any work.

Now that it's late at night and everyone's asleep, I have to catch up on my work.

"Fine, you can make it up to them!"

Song Liaosha hiccuped and kicked the foot pedal with her leg.

"I need to go home and catch up on some sleep."

finished,

After saying goodbye to Chen Luyang, Song Liaosha and the others went their separate ways to their respective homes and mothers.

When Chen Luyang returned to the rubber workshop, the workshop was brightly lit.

"It's so late, why haven't they left yet?"

Chen Luyang looked at the half-workshop of people in surprise, then looked down at her watch.

Now that the Lunar New Year is approaching, all production tasks in each workshop have been completed.

Although there are still some routine tasks, it's not enough to work overtime this late.

Huang Pingtao said with some guilt, "Director, it's because we didn't do a good job with the rubber. Everyone is now reviewing the formula and vulcanization process, and re-inspecting the previous rubber."

Chen Luyang's heart sank slightly.

"Thank you all for your hard work. This car is going to be exhibited, and the factory is keeping a close eye on it, as is the department. Even if we can't add to the success, we must not hold everyone back."

Huang Pingtao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a low voice, "Director, don't worry. This time we'll go through each batch one by one. Even if we don't sleep all night, we'll find all the problems. If anything goes wrong again, I, Huang Pingtao, will be the first to accept the punishment!"

"What's with all this talk about punishment?" Chen Luyang waved his hand.

"Our workshop is all in this together. If a problem arises, we'll share the responsibility and fix it together."

"Everyone worked hard tonight, but you still need to eat, drink, and sleep. If there are any problems, continue looking into them tomorrow. Don't stay up here all night."

After saying that, Chen Luyang shouted loudly to the workshop workers:

"Go home! We'll continue tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the workshop stopped what they were doing and looked at Chen Luyang.

Some people who were worried about their elderly parents and children at home greeted Chen Luyang and then turned to leave.

Hearing Chen Luyang say that made some people feel even more embarrassed.

He kept saying "I'm not tired" and continued working on the production line.

Seeing this, Chen Luyang sighed softly and turned to walk towards her office.

"I'm going back to my room to write some documents. You can come in and find me anytime if you need anything."

Seeing Chen Luyang engrossed in writing materials at her desk in the office, Dong Mangui said with admiration:
"It has to be our director!"

"That energy! That willpower!"

They truly embody the methodology of socializing during the day and working at night exceptionally well!

to be frank,
During the day, when Chen Luyang visited each department, he really, really, really wanted to go with her!
If I could borrow Director Chen's influence and get close to him, wouldn't my social circle at the factory expand even further?!
However, that's not the case at all!

Now that we see Chen Luyang coming back to work late at night after drinking, everyone is really... damn it!

I don't know how to say it.

At this moment, Chen Luyang was writing a report on car malfunctions and proposed solutions.

When he returned to the factory this time, he brought back all the usage data and problem records of the cars in Pian'er City, using them as first-hand information to write a complete report.

Although it was a bit late
Fortunately, these things were already in his mind, so he just needed to sort out the logic and explain things clearly.

By the time Chen Luyang finished writing the materials, it was almost dawn.

Outside the workshop, Huang Pingtao and his team, their eyes bloodshot, were also testing the rubber one by one.

"How's the checkup going?"

Chen Luyang walked out of the office and asked.

Huang Pingtao rubbed his bloodshot eyes and lowered his voice: "Director, the situation is more complicated than we thought."

"Most batches have hardness within the standard range, but a few batches have a shorter vulcanization time, resulting in higher rebound test results. The problem lies in these batches."
