Chapter 6 A Good Seedling

"What's going on? Xiaochen, you're not causing any trouble again, right?"

When Feng Li heard Luo Xiangfei's words, his first feeling was that something was wrong. He didn't think his son was capable of helping the general director of the State Economic Commission, and he also caused the general director to come to thank him in person. In his opinion, Feng Xiaochen must have made some mistakes and provoked Luo Xiangfei. Lord Luo Xiangfei did not care about villains and did not complain to the leaders of the Metallurgical Department, but ran home to knock on him. Of course, he used a reason to pay tribute to Feng Weiren.

"I didn't make any trouble." Feng Xiaochen really admired his father's imagination. Thinking of his predecessor being so unbearable, he felt a little ashamed. He explained to his father: "Today, Director Luo was looking for a drawing for him. I found it for him. It was actually a very small thing, so it was hard for Director Luo to still think about it."

"It's not a trivial matter." Luo Xiangfei corrected, "Just this picture exposed the major flaws in our early work. At least it can save the country more than 20 million foreign exchange funds. This matter is still small? It's not an exaggeration to ask me to hold a commendation meeting for Comrade Xiao Feng with red hanging lottery."

Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, "Director Luo's words made me feel ashamed. The matter of finding Zhang Tu is originally my job. The map is there, and as long as you are willing to search for it, you can always find it."

"This is different." Luo Xiangfei said, "So many people have seen these pictures, but no one can find this picture. But you, Xiao Feng, found it. Can you tell me what the reason is?"

Feng Xiaochen smiled bitterly and said, "There is no reason...but he is familiar with his ears."

This is an allusion among the oil sellers. The oil sellers covered the oil pot with a copper coin and poured oil into the oil pot through the hole in the middle of the copper coin. The oil entered the hole in the money, but the money was not wet. Everyone praised his superb skills, and he said: There is no such thing, but he is familiar with his ears.

When Guo Huagang heard this conversation between Luo Xiangfei and Feng Xiaochen, he felt that it was ordinary. Although Guo Huagang did not attend the meeting, he also knew that Feng Xiaochen was responsible for helping the engineers find drawings. It must be that Luo Xiangfei wanted to find a certain picture, and Feng Xiaochen quickly found it for him. This kind of thing can indeed be described as "but familiar" and is not worth mentioning by Luo Xiangfei.

Luo Xiangfei and Feng Xiaochen understood very well. Luo Xiangfei praised Feng Xiaochen, of course, not because he found the drawing based on a picture number, but because he wrote the picture number for Luo Xiangfei on a note paper. Luo Xiangfei only had 30% suspected that the picture number was written by Feng Xiaochen. Now that he had a few words with Feng Xiaochen, he was able to be sure that Feng Xiaochen found such a picture from a large number of drawings and informed him in a hidden way.

Luo Xiangfei couldn't guess why Feng Xiaochen didn't report this situation directly to Qiao Ziyuan or Lu Jianyong. In this way, he could get favor from the Metallurgical Department, thereby changing the prejudice of Liu Huimin against him in one fell swoop. Maybe he could be transferred from logistics to a position of "office" and enjoy higher treatment. According to Luo Xiangfei's guess, Feng Xiaochen might not be sure of the impact of this matter on the provincial department and did not dare to act rashly, so he hid and shrank. After Luo Xiangfei showed the drawings, Feng Xiaochen admitted that this matter was related to him, which was even more inappropriate. Qiao Ziyuan and the others would definitely regard him as a traitor, which would make him unable to accommodate him in the Metallurgical Department.

Thinking of this, Luo Xiangfei naturally would not point out this matter publicly, so he could only play a game with Feng Xiaochen. He took a sip of water and asked Feng Xiaochen: "Xiao Feng, have you learned metallurgy in the past?"

"Learn a little." Feng Xiaochen replied shamelessly.

Feng Li and Guo Huagang were both grinning. Feng Li knew about his son’s situation. When did he learn metallurgy? As for Guo Huagang, he had a deeper prejudice against Feng Xiaochen, and secretly scolded him for being too shameless. In order to please the leaders of the Economic Commission, he actually dared to tell such a big lie.

"Where did you learn it?" Luo Xiangfei asked again.

"When I was in the lineup," Feng Xiaochen said, "My grandfather taught me some at home, and then asked me to take some books to the educated youth site. If I had something I couldn't understand, I went home to ask my grandfather for advice. I had been studying this for four or five years, and it was a bit of a beginning."

"Is there such a thing?" Feng Li couldn't help it and interrupted. Feng Weiren's knowledge was naturally very profound. As his son, Feng Li inherited less than one-tenth of it, which was enough to be a physics teacher in middle school. As for Feng Xiaochen, in Feng Li's memory, he seemed to have no experience in learning from Feng Weiren, so he said that he would bring books to the educated youth site to read... Is this really his eldest son who caused trouble all day long?

"Aren't you teaching in a middle school in the countryside at that time? Of course you don't know what I came home to learn from my grandfather." Feng Xiaochen retorted with confidence.

Feng Li thought about it and seemed that his son did have a gap in his own vision. Could it be that at that time, his son had consulted his father about metallurgical technology? As for the matter of bringing books to read, please recall it carefully, it seems...it seems... maybe, well, even if that's the case, in front of the leaders of the Economic Commission, he can't just say that his son is lying, right?

"That's true," Feng Li said. "Xiaochen's academic performance in school is not very good, but he likes reading books on weekdays, especially with some interest in technical books."

"My brother has read all the books left by my grandfather, and some of them are still in German." Feng Lingyu, who was standing in another corner waiting to listen to the instructions, also spoke. He didn't understand what Director Luo was doing with the incident, but after Feng Xiaochen repeatedly emphasized that he had read many books, Feng Li came out to prove Feng Xiaochen, and Feng Lingyu felt that he should say something.

He didn't know what it means to be a sensible person. In order to prove that his brother was really awesome, he simply brag about his cowhide for a long time. In his opinion, these words were not lies. In the past few days, Feng Xiaochen has indeed read all the books left by his grandfather, including those German books like ghost-painted talismans. His brother actually understood German. What awesome thing he could not help but want to float up.

"You know German!"

Feng Lingyu's words suddenly thundered the people in the room. Luo Xiangfei's reaction was the strongest. He stared at Feng Xiaochen and asked in surprise.

Uh, this younger brother is really a teammate of pigs... Feng Xiaochen said helplessly in his heart. He really understands German, and his level is quite good. This was specially learned when he was introducing technology in his previous life. After all, Germany is an important source country for China to introduce equipment. It is normal for those who make equipment to understand German. In the past few days, he has found out the books left by his grandfather and browsed a summary of some of the German documents. Perhaps Feng Lingyu found out that he was reading German documents at that time, and in order to help him brag, he just shook it out.

"Grandpa taught me a little." Feng Xiaochen was not sure what level it should be said, so he answered ambiguously. At the same time, he gave Luo Xiangfei a begging look, which meant: Uncle, if you continue talking, I will be in trouble. Don't repay your grudges, okay?

Luo Xiangfei's heart was overwhelming. He felt that he could no longer see through the young man in front of him. Previously, he felt that Feng Xiaochen probably had some knowledge of his family and could understand mechanical drawings. He accidentally discovered the drawing of the toilet, so he warned him. Now it seems that Feng Xiaochen's ability is far from being able to summarize the point of knowing pictures. He learned metallurgical technology from Feng Weiren for four or five years, and even learned some German and could read professional German books. This alone is worth using it as a talent.

After ten years of movement, China's education system has been impacted. In today's China, it is more difficult to find a young man who knows German and also has a little metallurgy and machinery than to build a hot-rolled production line by himself. Engineers who learned German in their early years are at least 40 years old. Some people have long abandoned their majors. Those who can still work are all backbones of various units and cannot be seconded to do other things.

When the Economic Commission and German manufacturers negotiated, they often couldn't find a German talent to use. They had no choice but to find an English translation, translate Chinese into English, and then translate English into German by the other party. After turning a few turns, some of the meanings of the words were tampered with. There is no need to count the jokes and disputes caused by this.

The young man in front of him knows German, knows metallurgy, and has a pair of keen eyes. He can find a hidden toilet from places that no one notices. It is a waste of resources to put such a person in the Nanjiang Provincial Metallurgy Department as a handyman.

Luo Xiangfei's first thought was to go back and recommend Feng Xiaochen, a treasure to Qiao Ziyuan and others, so that they could transfer Feng Xiaochen to an important position. Then he thought, an evil thought came up: Why should I leave such a good seedling for others to use? Why not secretly cross Chen Cang and bring this young man to the capital. After practicing hard for a few years, I guess I will be able to stand alone. At that time, the expressions on Qiao Ziyuan and others will definitely be very exciting, right?

"By the way, Xiao Feng, your father is a physics teacher. I see that your house has an electric soldering iron. I guess you can repair the radio, right? I don't know if the wire of the radio I brought from Beijing broke. Can you follow me to the guesthouse and help me repair it?"
