Ma Xiaoquan was stunned. He looked at Bai Suzhen and saw that there was no falsehood in the latter's face, and she didn't seem to be teasing him.
"What's the feeling of closeness?" Ma Xiaoquan asked.
Bai Suzhen shook her head: "I don't know. Anyway, I just feel very strange, as if I have known you for a long time."
Ma Xiaoquan joked: "Are you thinking that I am Ma Liehuo?"
"No, you are you, Liehuo is Liehuo. Anyway, I think you are different from him. When I see you, I always feel like I want to protect you."
"Protect me?" Ma Xiaoquan patted his chest, "Sister, do you think I still need to protect you when I'm like this? Besides, you're a woman and I'm a man, so I can still protect you."
Bai Suzhen smiled slightly: "I just have this strange feeling. Maybe I'm overthinking it."
In order to prevent this topic from continuing, Ma Xiaoquan quickly changed the topic and said: "By the way, what do your parents do, and why are your family's conditions so good?"
Bai Suzhen said: "To be honest, I don't know what they do, but the family is in good condition because there are relatives abroad who left an asset. When there was a civil war ten years ago, the assets were frozen.
I was also implicated and labeled as a rightist, but I was rehabilitated last year. I think my parents should have been compensated by the government for their work. After all, they are also rare intellectuals."
Ma Xiaoquan said "Oh" to express his agreement with Bai Suzhen's words. In fact, Bai Suzhen has told these lies to outsiders countless times. Now she can tell these lies without any flaws.
Bai Suzhen continued: "Okay, let's not talk about my house, but yours. I heard that you came from the south to find your brother. Why did you enter Zhao Shanhe's house later?"
Ma Xiaoquan also told his lie to Bai Suzhen. In fact, Bai Suzhen didn't care how Ma Xiaoquan came. She was interested in how Ma Xiaoquan went to see Zhao Minglan.
Maybe it's because Yuan Lan's family and Zhao Minglan's family are somewhat related. When Yuan Lan and Bai Suzhen chatted together before, they would always mention one or two words from time to time.
"Actually, I quite like Zhao Minglan. She is quite good-looking and has a very good figure, especially her bust. I am particularly envious..." Bai Suzhen suddenly said this.
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment and looked at Bai Suzhen. She didn't know what Bai Suzhen meant by saying this.
"Have you never considered Zhao Minglan?" Bai Suzhen asked jokingly.
"No!" Ma Xiaoquan shook his head very simply, "Just treat her as my sister, nothing more."
"Yes, last time I saw the photo of your sweetheart, I think your sweetheart is more beautiful. But why do I feel that your sweetheart looks very similar to someone I know?"
"Someone you know? Who is it?"
Bai Suzhen hesitated for a moment, but still said the person's name: "Mingfa."
"Ming... Mingfa?" Ma Xiaoquan was stunned and thought to himself, isn't this my father-in-law?
"Yes, how do you know him?" Bai Suzhen asked.
"No, no, no~" Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand quickly, "I just wonder why there are still people named Ming."
"There must be hundreds of surnames."
Ma Xiaoquan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Then can I see him?"
Calculating based on time, if the Mingfa mentioned by Bai Suzhen is really her father-in-law, then Mingfa at this time should be about nineteen years old.
"This..." Bai Suzhen thought for a while and said, "That's okay. I just heard that he is going to join your factory recently, but he is a very technical young man and is responsible for upgrading and transforming all the machines in your factory.
of."
"So awesome?" Ma Xiaoquan laughed.
"Yeah, don't underestimate him. He has already completed a lot of courses when he was twelve years old. Didn't the college entrance examination just resume in the past two years? Originally he was going to apply for it, but because there was no recommendation, he
I'm going to your factory for a while. By the way, these are technicians appointed by Director Qin of your factory, and their salary is much higher than yours."
...
Riveting factory, inside the director's office.
Mingfa was sitting upright on the stool, and in front of him sat Qin Ming, the head and secretary of the riveting factory, the director of the factory.
"Oh, Xiao Ming, I finally got you from the technical school~" Qin Ming smiled and poured Mingfa a cup of tea.
Mingfa sat up straight and said respectfully: "Director Qin, you are so polite, I am really bothering you..."
"Eh? The family doesn't speak the same language. There are no outsiders here. Just call me brother-in-law."
"Well, uncle!"
"That's right, Mingfa, how long do you plan to work in the riveting factory?"
Mingfa thought for a while: "I'm going to help you take a look at all the equipment and instruments here. Uncle, didn't they recently allocate a batch of funds for technical renovation? Can they be used?"
Qin Ming groaned, scratched his head and said, "Xiao Ming, it's okay if you don't talk about this, but it gives me a headache. Although I am the top leader in the factory, I don't have the final say on the funding for technical transformation.
In fact, I wanted to invest everything in technical reform, but a few deputies disagreed, and it was difficult for me to suppress it alone. Well, especially Zhao Jianshe, it was very difficult."
Mingfa said: "Didn't Zhao Jianshe recently say that he went to the capital for medical treatment? When can he come back?"
"I don't know, so I thought I would take this opportunity to quickly settle the funds for technical transformation, so that you can help me. My term in the factory is coming soon, and I will probably be transferred soon. Before I leave, I always want to
You have to do something for the factory, otherwise I will feel sorry for your father, who promoted me in the first place."
"Uncle, don't say that. My mother is your sister, and my father should promote you."
"Eh? You can't say that. There were many people in the factory who were more capable than me at that time, and it was your father who promoted me against all the opinions. Actually, I am a bit weak-tempered, and I did this.
Being a factory director for more than ten years is really tiring."
Mingfa nodded and said yes.
"By the way, I'm afraid you can't handle the technical transformation alone. Recently, two technicians have been assigned from above. Well~~" Qin Ming raised his head and looked at the clock hanging on the wall, "It should be here by now, right?"
?”
Just then, the door rang.
After obtaining Qin Ming's permission, the door was pushed open from the outside.
Two beautiful-looking young girls walked in. Both of them were dressed simply and had the same double ponytails. One of them had big eyes and a tall figure, while the other was petite and had red phoenix eyes.
Mingfa just glanced at it and immediately remembered the girl with big eyes among them.
"Director Qin!" The big-eyed girl didn't pay attention to the way Mingfa looked at her, but said politely, "We are technicians sent by the headquarters. My name is Gong Yu, and the technician next to me is invited from Japan.
, called Minami Asakura."
Asakura Minami bowed to Qin Ming and said in somewhat stiff Mandarin: "Hello, Director Qin, my name is Asakura Minami, please give me your advice."
"Japanese?" Qin Ming was stunned and looked at the girl with big eyes, "Xiao Gong, didn't you say that the technician who came with you was a male technician? Why is he a woman and still Japanese?"
Gong Yu smiled and said: "Director, don't underestimate Asakura Minami. She was specially hired from Japan by the headquarters for a long time. Her theoretical knowledge is no worse than that of male technicians."
Qin Ming blinked. He really wanted to ask how old Asakura Minami was. Because Asakura Minami was very petite, about 1.55 meters tall by visual inspection, and she was also very pretty. At first glance, she thought she was sixteen.
year old girl.
Asakura Minami seemed to see through Qin Ming's thoughts. She smiled slightly and said: "Director Qin, I am twenty-two this year. Well, I am a bit old."
"Twenty-two?" Qin Ming was stunned and wondered why all Japanese women are so young. They looked only sixteen or seventeen years old.
"Yes, I'm really sorry, I'm short, so I don't look that big." Asakura Minami joked to herself.
"No, no, no, Miss Asakura, you are very good, you are very good~~"
Asakura Nan smiled: "Director Qin, just call me Xiaonan."
"Xiaonan? Okay, let's take Xiaonan." Qin Ming smiled and pulled Mingfa over and introduced him to the two women in front of him, "Gong Yu, Xiaonan, this is my nephew and my newly recruited technician.
Not bad, my name is Mingfa, I hope you will cooperate well in the future."
The two women looked at Mingfa, and then nodded politely to Mingfa.
Mingfa's eyes have been looking at Gong Yu. For some reason, he has been a little distracted since seeing Gong Yu.
"Ahem~~" Qin Ming coughed twice, Mingfa quickly came to his senses and his face turned red instantly.
Asakura Minami was still smart, she smiled and said: "Director Qin, where do we live?"
Qin Ming snorted, patted his head and said, "A room has been specially set aside for you, just for you two girls. I'm sorry, the conditions in the factory are a bit difficult, I hope you don't mind."
Gong Yu shook his head: "Of course I don't mind, we just want to come down and exercise~"
"Okay, okay~~" Qin Ming nodded, then slapped Mingfa on the shoulder, "Xiao Ming, go and carry the baggage for your colleague. Two girls are carrying such a heavy baggage, how can you do it?"
Help?"
"Ah?" Mingfa was stunned, then nodded quickly, "Okay, okay~~" After saying that, without waiting for the two girls to agree, Mingfa directly picked up the baggage from their feet and rushed out of the door.
"Hey, hey, this kid..." Qin Ming smiled sheepishly, "Okay, you guys go to rest first. I will ask Secretary Luo to meet you later and ask her to tell you about the factory.
In this situation, let’s get into work quickly, okay?”
"Okay~" The two women nodded.
...
Ma Xiaoquan followed Bai Suzhen to the backyard path of the riveting factory, intending to find Mingfa.
