After Feng Xiaochen said this, he did not delay any longer. He stood up and nodded to Kang Haidong, and then called Wu Shican to go out with him. Kang Haidong also stood up, opened his mouth, trying to say something, but he didn't know where to start. While following Feng Xiaochen, Wu Shican gave Kang Haidong a sorry look. He and Kang Haidong are old acquaintances, and they are both technical experts, and they are not suitable to be as heartless as Feng Xiaochen. However, he didn't think anything was wrong with Feng Xiaochen's attitude. As for him, he had never thought of slapping the table with the Petrochemical Institute.

Kang Haidong sent the two of them out of the office building and asked politely whether to stay for dinner. Feng Xiaochen and Wu Shican naturally declined. Seeing Feng Xiaochen driving jeep out of the gate of the design institute, Kang Haidong then sank his face and walked into the door of the building with his hands behind his back. He met the Administrative Director Hou Chao. Seeing that Kang Haidong looked unpredictable, Hou Chao subconsciously asked: "Old Kang, what's wrong, who came just now?"

"I'm not from the Equipment Industry Company." Kang Haidong responded angrily.

"Equipment Industry Company? Is that Director Wu?" Hou Chao asked.

Kang Haidong said: "It's not just him. It would be fine if it was Lao Wu alone. There was also a young man who came today. I heard that he was their assistant to the general manager. He spoke very hard, and he was very successful at first glance. He didn't know how much food he had to eat."

"Then what did they say?"

"What are you talking about? It's not about the ethylene equipment. It's urging us to hand over the work. If it delays, they will have to do things according to the contract."

"Doing things according to the contract? Can they still take the money back?" Hou Chao said disapprovingly, "Besides, aren't Lao Song and the others doing this? Why? It's not finished yet?"

The old Song he mentioned was Song Shijun, chief engineer of the design institute. This time the design of the ethylene device was left to him. Song Shijun is already 65 years old this year, and enthusiasm is enough. Unfortunately, he is not strong enough. It is a situation where he has the heart but lacks strength. Kang Haidong asked him about the progress several times. The old man looked ashamed every time, but there was nothing he could do. Kang Haidong could not be anxious with him, so he could only drag him like this.

"This matter has been delayed for a long time. Alas, let's hold another meeting tomorrow to mobilize." Kang Haidong said helplessly.

Not to mention what Kang Haidong was thinking, Feng Xiaochen drove Wu Shican out of the gate of the design institute, but did not return to the company directly. Instead, he drove the car next to a bus stop, and then said to Wu Shican: "Old Wu, see if you can take the bus back by yourself. I still have something to do here."

"No problem, no problem, I like to take the bus." Wu Shican responded. After saying that, he did not rush to get off the bus, but asked in a low voice: "Xiao Feng, what are you going to deal with the matter here? If Lao Kang and the others can't give us a satisfactory answer in three days, are you really going to do the business according to the contract?"

"That's all that is possible." Feng Xiaochen said.

"But, the design institute is a public institution, can you really punish them?"

"Even if you can't get a fine, you have to let them suffer some losses." Feng Xiaochen said, "You haven't seen Lao Kang's attitude today. You even said nonsense about being responsible for history. This is clearly just trying to cheat."

"Oh, I blame me for this." Wu Shican made a self-examination. "I didn't expect them to have such an attitude. If I had known this, I wouldn't have paid the design fee in advance. Now that the money has been in their account, I'm afraid it's really not easy to ask them to withdraw it."

Feng Xiaochen smiled bitterly. Wu Shican was indeed too honest. This person had no problem in doing technology, but it would not work if he dealt with such things that involved departmental interests. Feng Xiaochen still had to do this. He smiled at Wu Shican and said, "Old Wu, leave this matter to me. I always have a way to make them move."

Wu Shican got out of the car, Feng Xiaochen drove forward for a while, turned several turns, and came to a small door driving on the wall. Outside the small door was a young man of the same age as Feng Xiaochen, who seemed to have been waiting for a while. Seeing Feng Xiaochen's car coming, he came forward with a smile and greeted: "Assistant Feng, you are here."

"Here you come." Feng Xiaochen stopped the car, pulled the handbrake, jumped out of the car, shook hands with the other party, and said with a smile, "The cold is it that you have been waiting for a long time?"

The person in front of him was clearly Yan Han, a graduate student who Feng Xiaochen met at Pujiang Jiaotong University. That year, Feng Xiaochen went to investigate the misappropriation of Wang Hongtai's funds. It was Yan Han who informed him of the real situation and also spread a lot of words in the graduate school. After that, Yan Han had always had contact with Feng Xiaochen, and even after graduation he was assigned to work at the Petrochemical Design Institute in Beijing, which was because Feng Xiaochen helped him find some connections.

This time, Feng Xiaochen came to negotiate with the Petrochemical Design Institute about the design of the ethylene device. He called Yan Han in advance and said that he wanted to chat with him in private. In order to prevent Kang Haidong and other leaders of the Petrochemical Institute from noticed, Yan Han asked Feng Xiaochen to meet outside the small gate of the Petrochemical Institute.

"I haven't waited for a while." Yan Han said politely, "Assistant Feng, I heard that you were on a business trip to Mexico a while ago. How is it? Is things going smoothly?"

"Fortunately, it went smoothly and had a lot of gains."

"That's for sure. Assistant Feng is going to do it, how can he succeed without success?" Yan Han said half compliment half sincerely.

The two of them exchanged a few greetings, Yan Han brought the words back to the point and asked, "Assistant Feng, is there anything wrong with you asking me to meet?"

"It's something." Feng Xiaochen curled his smile and said, "I think you can ask about the internal situation of your Petrochemical Institute. You must know the reason, which is the 600,000-ton ethylene device we commissioned to design."

"I know a little about this." Yan Han said. He looked at the pedestrians around and said, "Assistant Feng, if you are not busy, you will not be able to talk to my dormitory."

"That's the point." Feng Xiaochen said.

This side door of the Petrochemical Institute is only convenient for employees to enter and exit, and jeep cannot drive in. However, it is not yet time when cars are flooding, and there are parking places on the roadside. Feng Xiaochen parked the car at a place beside the wall that does not affect pedestrians' passage. He locked the car and entered the Petrochemical Institute with the severe cold and came to the tube building where he lived.

"You live in such a place?"

As soon as he entered the Twin Tower, Feng Xiaochen's eyebrows frowned. Most units nowadays have very difficult housing, and living in Twin Tower is not a new thing, but Feng Xiaochen dared to swear that this was the first time he had seen it. The corridors of Twin Towers were filled with various things, all the way to the height of the ceiling. Only some empty places were used to place coal ball stoves, and these stoves even blocked the upper half of the door. It is estimated that if the people in the room had to come out, they could only cross the stove.

"How come there are so many things?" Feng Xiaochen asked in surprise.

Yan Han smiled without saying a word, but led Feng Xiaochen through the small aisle among a pile of miscellaneous items and came to a door. He took out the key and opened the door, signaling: "Assistant Feng, please come in. The conditions are just like this, you can take more responsibility."

"If that's the case, many units are like this now."

Feng Xiaochen said as he walked into the cold room. When he entered the door, his surprise felt even more. Such a tube room less than 20 square meters was stuffed. There were half of the two bookshelfs on each place, and the other half were pots, pans, teacups, teeth, etc. There were racks nailed to the walls, boxes were placed, and some exposed walls became places for hanging clothes. The strangest thing was that there were two double-layer rack beds on the left and right in the room, and a curtain was pulled in the middle.

"This is..." Feng Xiaochen pointed at the curtain with his finger, and a thought flashed through his mind.

"This is my home, and that is where my colleague Zhou Ting lives with his lover." Yan Han's tone was a bit teasing.

"You two families live in the same room?" Feng Xiaochen finally understood. Yan Han was already married. Since he said that one of them was his family, it was obviously where he and his wife lived, and on the other side, there was another couple living there.

As a family, there is always some property, at least the couple's clothes, bedding, etc., have to occupy a lot of places. Other units have poor living conditions, at least one room is only for a family, and all kinds of things can be stuffed. The tube building of the Petrochemical Courtyard actually lives in one room for two families, so it's no wonder they had to pile a lot of worthless things into the corridor.

It would be fine if there was no storage space. The two families lived in the same room, but they didn’t even have any privacy. This is no better than a college student dormitory. No matter what, there is a homosexuality in one dormitory, and there is nothing to avoid. There are two men and two women living in this room. Feng Xiaochen dared not imagine how embarrassed it would be in daily life.

"I didn't expect it?" Yan Han smiled self-deprecatingly, "I'm not afraid of you making fun of it. Lao Zhou and I have a tacit understanding. I take my lover out for two walks a week, two hours a day, and then he and his lover are the same... you know."

"..." Feng Xiaochen did understand, but he had no intention of laughing at all, but instead felt a little like crying. He was attracted by Yan Leqin and occupied a courtyard house in the capital. He had never suffered from housing difficulties. He did not expect that senior talents like Yan Han would feel wronged in life like this.
