Siheyuan: I just like to stir up trouble

Chapter 490 Good things come in pairs

“Gass, you should have some ambition, okay? You are the first and only Gastly in the world, don’t you want to be the Gastly King?”

"But……"

"If you want to, you must work hard. Master, I am proud of you!"

"Okay, Master, I get it!"

"That's right. A king should be majestic and overbearing. You have to keep people fearing you!"

Gastly was fooled by Lin Fan and vowed to become the Gastly King of the Courtyard World, so it had to keep causing trouble to keep people afraid of it.

Gastly left to fulfill his wish of becoming the Gastly King, and Lin Fan also left the small world.

"Brother Lin Fan, are you awake? Breakfast will be ready soon!"

When he walked into the kitchen, he found Fang Meng was already busy.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Meng'er!"

Lin Fan nodded, then went out to wash up. He was planning to cook, but he didn't expect that his wife was already cooking.

When Lin Fan came back from washing up, Yue Lingshan, Lou Xiao'e, Ning Zhongze and the others also came out.

"Let's eat!"

Fang Meng just happened to have prepared breakfast and brought it over, so the family started to eat breakfast.

After breakfast, Lin Fan took Fang Meng to work, and Lou Xiaoe and the others went back to the small world.

"Good morning, Lin Fan."

"Good morning, Uncle San, have you eaten?"

When the two people passed by the front yard, Yan Bugui, who was standing at the door, greeted the two people, and Lin Fan replied with a smile.

"I can't eat. I'm just worried about Jie Cheng!"

Yan Bugui still believed that Lin Fan had the ability to cure Yan Jiecheng, but Lin Fan just didn't want to treat Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Bugui deliberately pretended to be distressed, hoping that Lin Fan would have sympathy and treat Yan Jiecheng for his sake.

"Is that so?"

"Yeah, look at what happened!"

Yan Bugui almost said it clearly: You see, I have lost my appetite because of Yan Jiecheng’s matter. Please help me cure him.

"It's okay. If you can't eat, it's probably because you're not hungry yet. You'll want to eat when you get hungry!"

Lin Fan waved his hands nonchalantly, not intending to take the challenge at all.

"Pfft!"

Yan Bugui's face turned pale when he heard this. Fang Meng beside him couldn't help laughing. The intrigue between Lin Fan and Yan Bugui was so funny.

"Come on, Meng'er and I are going to work. Uncle, if you stay up for another day, you will definitely be hungry. If you are still not hungry by then, I will help you get some!"

After Lin Fan finished speaking, he turned around and rode away from the courtyard with Fang Meng.

"Don't help me heal, help Jie Chengzhi, Lin Fan, Lin Fan!"

Yan Bugui was a little dumbfounded. It was Yan Jiecheng who was sick, not himself. What disease could Lin Fan cure him for? It was simply nonsense.

"Brother Lin Fan, you are so mean! I think Uncle Three is about to cry!"

On the way to work, Fang Meng recalled Yan Bugui's expression just now and couldn't help laughing again.

"The old man played the emotional card on me, trying to trick me into treating Yan Jiecheng by pretending to be unable to eat or drink. He really thought too much."

"Can Brother Lin Fan cure Yan Jiecheng's illness or not?"

"It's a bit of a problem, it can be cured, but I don't want to waste my time and energy on it, unless I'm crazy!"

Yan Jiecheng has nothing to do with me. Strictly speaking, there is a contradiction. Why should I spend my energy to treat him? Besides, even if I cure him, he will not be grateful. Isn't it the farmer and the snake? Mr. Dongguo and the wolf? I am not that stupid.

"Hey, Lin Fan, my great engineer, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time. If you don't come, I'll go to your courtyard to look for you!"

As soon as Lin Fan and Fang Meng arrived at the entrance of the steel rolling mill, Lin Fan was stopped by Director Yang.

"Director Yang? It's not time to go to work yet, you can't deduct my salary!"

Seeing Director Yang looking anxious, Lin Fan played a joke on him.

"Brother, salary is nothing. The big bosses are here. They are all in your office now. Come with me!"

"Big leader, how big is he? Bigger than Zhang Xueling, the Minister of Industry?"

"Bigger than her, let's go!"

Director Yang asked his secretary to take Lin Fan's bicycle to the bicycle shed, and then took Lin Fan to the office.

"Boss, I've brought the person here. This is Lin Fan, the engineer who designed the 1700mm hot rolling, 1700mm cold rolling and silicon steel production line projects!"

After entering the office, Director Yang immediately introduced Lin Fan to the people inside.

"It is true that heroes emerge from youth. At the age of just 20, he has made great contributions to the development of the country. It is really amazing!"

The leader inside also stood up and praised Lin Fan with a smile.

"I don't deserve the praise from my boss. I just did my job well!"

Why is he here? Lin Fan really didn't expect it, and he quickly lowered his head and said modestly.

"You can afford it. How can you not afford it? You have improved the country's rolling mill process by at least 50 years and saved the country from many years of detours. If you can't afford it, then who can?"

Leader Zhou walked up to Lin Fan, patted him on the shoulder and said.

"In fact, if it weren't for me, other engineers would have figured it out. After all, our country is full of talented people. I am just a coincidence!"

Lin Fan really felt a little unworthy. In front of the revolutionary predecessors, his little achievement was not worth mentioning at all.

"You are too modest. If it weren't for you, it would have taken many years for others to figure it out. You are truly a national talent. If you have talent, you should show it and don't hide it! But I hope you can stay calm and keep working hard."

"Originally, this matter is not my responsibility, but I have been in charge of economic recovery in recent years. You should also know what happened in the past few years. Haste can only do harm. I think the key to building and developing a country lies in achieving scientific and technological modernization. Your rolling mill is the progress of science and technology. I came here this time to make a fortune. I hope to use your example to inspire the research and development enthusiasm of domestic engineers and scientific researchers, promote the country's technological development, and thus support the country's economic recovery."

"The leaders have worked so hard for national construction and economic recovery and development, and I am ashamed of them!"

"How can a young man like you act like those old hands? Don't say these words. This is what I should do. This is the calligraphy given to me by Comrade Mao. There is also my seal on it. I give it to you today, hoping it can encourage you!"

After giving the calligraphy to Lin Fan, Leader Zhou left in a hurry. He was a very busy man and it was rare for him to spare some time today. The main purpose of his visit was to spend a fortune to buy horse bones and promote the modernization of national science and technology.

"You've become rich. This calligraphy has the words and seals of the two leaders. You should keep it as a family heirloom, right?"

Director Yang looked at Lin Fan's calligraphy with envy. This was something he had never dared to dream of obtaining.

Chapter 491: Praise from the Whole Factory

Lin Fan smiled and said nothing. He just unfolded the calligraphy and let Director Yang, who was drooling at the side, take a look. On it was written: You must know that when I was young, I had the ambition to reach the sky and become the best in the world.

"Well done, great words and sentences, Lin Fan, congratulations. In comparison, the 1,000 yuan bonus, three turns and one ring, and other bills given to you by the factory are nothing!"

Director Yang stretched out his hand to touch the calligraphy, but after thinking it over, he withdrew his hand.

"That's not the case. The more rewards the better. I will accept any reward!"

Lin Fan smiled. Is there anyone who dislikes too many rewards these days? As long as it is a reward, come as you like. The more the better.

"You, you are such a rascal, but I have to tell you that after you get the reward, you must be modest and calm as Leader Zhou said, and keep up the good work! There is still room for improvement in your research and development of rolling mills. You should strive to develop the next generation of rolling mills as soon as possible, so that the country can catch up with the world's most advanced level as soon as possible, so as to live up to Leader Zhou and our expectations of you!"

"Okay, okay, I know, don't worry!"

"Well, I won't bother you anymore. I have to get busy!"

After Director Yang left Lin Fan's office, Lin Fan remembered that Leader Zhou seemed to be ill. He was so excited when he saw him for the first time that he even forgot to see him.

But it is still early now, and there are still more than ten years before Leader Zhou’s unfortunate death. I will wait until I develop the next generation of rolling mill. Then I will ask to see Leader Zhou and treat his illness.

The matter of the rolling mill has now come to an end. The subsequent expansion and replacement of equipment have nothing to do with me. Naturally, other people will be responsible for it. I have some free time this year. When I come up with the next generation of rolling mill next year, I can rest on my laurels for another year.

Lin Fan was at ease slacking off in the office, but he didn't know that his affairs had already spread widely. Leader Zhou came to see him in person and even received him. What a great honor and glory it was.

"Xiao Meng, I am really envious this time. Look, are my eyes red? You are so lucky!"

At this time, Yu Haitang in the broadcast room couldn't help but pulled Fang Meng's arm and said.

"I didn't know that Brother Lin Fan had done such a big thing. He never takes credit. I knew that he designed a new rolling mill before, but I didn't expect that Leader Zhou would come to see him in person. I guess Brother Lin Fan I didn’t even expect it, it can only be regarded as a coincidence!”

Although Fang Meng was also happy for Lin Fan, she was not as excited as Yu Haitang. After all, even before she was appreciated by Leader Zhou, Lin Fan was already the person she admired the most.

"Xiao Meng, why didn't my dad work as a fitter in the first workshop? If my dad had taken Lin Fan in as his apprentice, do you think I would have married Lin Fan?"

Yu Haitang began to fantasize about how glorious her life would be if she had married Lin Fan.

"No, have you forgotten? At first, you disliked Brother Lin Fan because he came from the countryside and thought he was a useless fitter. At that time, you also said that I would definitely regret it in the future, so even if your father accepted Brother Lin Fan as his apprentice, you would definitely not agree to marry him!"

Fang Meng shook her head. Yu Haitang was too picky. She naturally admired Lin Fan, who was now successful and famous, but she looked down on Lin Fan, who had just come from the countryside.

"You're right, I don't have that fate!"

Yu Haitang felt a little dejected after hearing this. Fang Meng was right. Even if she had been given the chance, she would not have been able to seize it.

"Fang Meng, here, this is the reward from the factory for your husband. You should read the commendation for your husband!"

Just then, Director Yang's secretary came in and handed Fang Meng a thick envelope and a broadcast script.

"Give this to Lin Fan, why are you giving it to me?"

Fang Meng asked in surprise, holding the envelope.

"It's the same if you hand it over. Besides, you and Lin Fan are a harmonious couple with deep love. Everyone in the steel mill knows that!"

Director Yang's secretary joked and left.

"Wow, I'm rich now!"

Yu Haitang curiously leaned over to the envelope and took a look. Inside was not only a thick stack of money, but also various bills. She almost drooled at the sight.

"It's nothing."

Fang Meng smiled faintly. Money was an external possession. Their family couldn't spend all their money, and they were self-sufficient on weekdays, so there was no need to spend money at all.

"Look, the engineer's daughter-in-law talks so loudly. This pile of money is worth hundreds or even thousands, but it's nothing. You're going to piss me off!"

Yu Haitang rolled her eyes at Fang Meng when she heard this. She knew Fang Meng was not lying, but that was exactly why she was so enviable.
