The winner of life in the courtyard

Chapter 66 Business trip
After coming out of the steel mill, Shen Zhiping first went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some cakes and then bought half a pound of White Rabbit milk, and then rushed to the Grain Bureau.

When Liu Wanqing was told that someone was looking for her, she was still wondering who would come to see her at this time.

"Shen Zhiping?!"

Liu Wanqing was quite surprised to see Shen Zhiping standing outside the Grain Bureau.

"Why are you here at this time?"

"Haven't you been busy modifying the machine all this time?"

Liu Wanqing is still very well-informed.

Shen Zhiping chuckled and said, "I'm done with my work for now. As for me, I've done a great job, so my senior brother gave me half a day off!"

"Then wait for me for a while, I will also ask for leave!"

When Liu Wanqing heard Shen Zhiping say that he had half a day off, she immediately turned around and ran towards the office building.

Shen Zhiping was in a good mood when he saw this scene.

After waiting for a few minutes, Shen Zhiping saw Liu Wanqing coming out pushing a bicycle.

"Come on, let's go out for a walk!"

"Will it not affect your work?"

Although Shen Zhiping was happy that Liu Wanqing cared about him so much, he was still a little worried about Liu Wanqing just leaving work and asking for leave.

"It's not very busy right now, and I'm very efficient at work!"

"Don't worry, I won't delay my work."

Liu Wanqing smiled and took the lead in riding the bicycle, "Hurry up, follow me!"

"coming!"

Shen Zhiping quickly got on his bicycle and caught up with Liu Wanqing.

This time, Liu Wanqing was responsible for leading the way, and Shen Zhiping just followed.

"Where are we going?"

“Go see the maple leaves!”

"Xiangshan?"

"Correct!"

"Is it too far?"

"It's not far, just consider it as exercise!"

"...?!"

Listening to Liu Wanqing's bell-like laughter, Shen Zhiping could only follow her lead.

More than thirty miles!

Come to think of it, it doesn’t seem that far away.

Shen Zhiping didn't care. He was mainly worried that Liu Wanqing couldn't handle it.

But it turned out that he was overthinking it.

Liu Wanqing's endurance is better than his.

The two of them walked nearly seventy miles back and forth, and Liu Wanqing acted as if nothing had happened, except that she ate a little more at dinner.

"Next, you guys won't be busy anymore?"

After dinner, Shen Zhiping sent Liu Wanqing home. Liu Wanqing then remembered that she had been playing all afternoon and hadn’t asked about Shen Zhiping’s work.

"Hard to say!"

Shen Zhiping shrugged lightly, "The transformation of the rolling mill in the steel mill is almost completed, but this transformation technology needs to be promoted nationwide."

"By then, there may be quite a few technical personnel coming to learn from us."

“That’s good!”

After hearing what Shen Zhiping said, Liu Wanqing smiled, "If you are arranged to go on a business trip to impart experience, then you will really be busy!"

Shen Zhiping was stunned when he heard Liu Wanqing say this. He said, "I suddenly have a bad feeling!"

"what?"

Liu Wanqing looked at Shen Zhiping in surprise.

Shen Zhiping smiled bitterly and said, "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have thought that this transformation technology has another way of spreading!"

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, pooh, pooh it away! The bad ones don't work, but the good ones do!"

Liu Wanqing really enjoyed spending time with Shen Zhiping. If Shen Zhiping was assigned to go on a business trip, she didn't know how long it would take before she could see him again.

Shen Zhiping followed suit.

Unfortunately, reality often makes good things not work but bad things work. Not long after he started work the next day, Lu Dasheng was called to the factory director's office. When he came back, he brought back some bad news.

On business trip!

More than half of the people in the technical department have to travel on business.

As the main researcher of the three-roll mill transformation, Shen Zhiping has a heavier task.

"This business trip is heavy and takes a long time. Everyone should overcome it!"

"Is there any problem?"

Lu Dasheng glanced at everyone, and everyone responded in unison: "No!"

The previous rewards have already been issued and everyone has benefited. It is reasonable to give Jiajia the burden now.

"Brother, I can't go to your wedding. This is the gift money. Don't think it's too little!"

Before leaving, Shen Zhiping stuffed a red envelope into Lu Dasheng's pocket.

There is six yuan and sixty-six cents in the red envelope, which means good luck!
"Don't worry, it's not too little!"

Lu Dasheng knew Shen Zhiping's financial situation. He had just started working and hadn't received his salary yet!

"By the way, comfort your partner!"

"You don't have to say that!"

Shen Zhiping rolled his eyes at Lu Dasheng.

After confirming that he needed to go on a business trip, Shen Zhiping didn't even have lunch and ran to find Liu Wanqing to tell her that he was going on a business trip.

When Liu Wanqing heard this, she felt very guilty for a while, thinking that it must be her fault.

In response, Shen Zhiping just smiled and said that this was impossible.

Regarding their business trip arrangements, I'm afraid they had been decided long ago and were not a last-minute decision.

Shen Zhiping's business trip was to the Northeast, and he was not going to just one place. Instead, he was assigned to visit several factories, and he had to take his people with him to visit them one by one.

Even if you spend one day in a factory, you will have to work for a month or so.

In fact, it is impossible to stay in a factory for only one day. If you are lucky, you can stay for two or three days. If you are unlucky, you can stay for three to five days, or even a week.

According to Shen Zhiping's estimation, he might not be able to return until before the New Year, and that was only the lucky scenario.

If you are unlucky, you may not be able to come back until after the New Year!

Because the walk took quite a long time, Shen Zhiping could only settle the wages with Captain Cao of the street construction team first. He couldn't expect that they would finish the work and then not be able to find him to settle the bill!

As for paying the bill in advance, will the other party cut corners or do things perfunctorily?
Shen Zhiping was not worried.

The construction in this era is still very sophisticated.

Furthermore, this is a construction team managed by the sub-district office. If any problems arise, the sub-district office cannot help but take action.

……

It is already quite cold in the capital city in late autumn.

The Northeast was already bitterly cold at this time.

Although Shen Zhiping brought enough cold-proof equipment before setting off, he was still taught a lesson by the biting cold in Northeast China.

The cotton-padded clothes, cotton pants and military coats that were very warm in Beijing, even making you feel very hot, are completely unable to keep out the freezing cold here.

“This is too cold!”

After the train entered the Northeast, Shen Zhiping found that he could no longer sit still in his chair.

As he sat in his seat, he could only feel the cold wind whistling into his trouser legs. In just a moment, he felt the chill running down his bones.

Shen Zhiping had no choice but to follow suit and tie his trouser legs tightly.

But even so, it's still a little lacking.

"Brother Chen, aren't you cold?"

Shen Zhiping stomped his feet and looked at Chen Xuejun opposite him. This old technician, who was a generation older than him, was sitting there, as steady as an old dog.

“It’s not cold!”

Chen Xuejun glanced at Shen Zhiping, then suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Xiao Shen, I'm sorry, I forgot that this is your first business trip to the Northeast. The cold here is completely different from that in Beijing. You can't keep out the cold just by wearing thick clothes!"

As he spoke, Chen Xuejun stood up and took out a pair of leather boots from his luggage.

"Xiao Shen, if you don't mind, you can put on these leather boots, it will be much better!"

"In fact, you young people are strong and energetic. You may feel very cold at the beginning. It's mainly because you are not used to it. Once you get used to it, it will be better."

"Brother Chen, you are also very young!"

Shen Zhiping looked at Chen Xuejun, who was only in his early thirties, and couldn't understand why Chen Xuejun had expelled himself from the team of young people?
