You Fengxia wouldn't have had so many thoughts before; her choice to be with Chen Jianye was simply to provide a better life for her family.

She did it.

But You Fengxia's thinking changed after she had a child.

She wanted to give her child a legitimate identity and wanted Chen Jianye to appear in her life and in her child's life as the child's father.

For example now.

If Chen Jianye is the child's legitimate father, then he should stay for dinner and eat with her and the child.

Instead of rushing home.

You Fengxia placed her hand on her belly and silently vowed to give her child a bright future.

Siheyuan.

Chen Jianye returned home, and after a while, Qin Huairu indeed brought over a basket of steamed buns.

"I already said, there's no need to be so polite."

Chen Jianye waved his hand in refusal.

He didn't want to accept the favors from the Jia family, as it would be too much trouble to repay them later.

Moreover, the Chen family has everything, so they don't care about a few steamed buns.

"Please accept it; it's a token of my appreciation."

Qin Huairu persisted, standing at the Chen family's door.

"Jianye, it's just a few steamed buns, you can take them."

"Yes, it's just steamed buns, not some expensive gift."

Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui tried to persuade him from the side.

"Okay, don't do that again."

Chen Jianye took the steamed bun.

Qin Huairu hummed in agreement, a smile spreading across her face.

Chen Jianye received the steamed buns but didn't eat them. Instead, he took them to the families in need in the compound and gave them to them.

He offered the steamed buns in front of everyone to show that he would not accept the Jia family's gifts.

This also prevented others from sending him gifts or asking for his help.

Chen Jianye knew that as he rose in position and gained more power at the steel rolling mill, many people wanted to benefit from his influence.

For example, Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong.

They all have several children in their families, who are either waiting to find jobs or will look for jobs in a few years.

If he helps someone else now, Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui will definitely ask him for help.

Once you start doing this, it becomes difficult to refuse others later.

Ran Qiuye also agreed with Chen Jianye's approach.

There's no shortage of food or drink at home. Don't create trouble for yourself. Living a down-to-earth life is better than anything else.

That evening, the two were intimate, and Ran Qiuye breastfed Chen Zhongguo one more time before falling into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Chen Jianye finished breakfast but hadn't left the house yet.

Qin Huairu stood at the entrance of the Chen family's house, carrying a cloth bag.

"Let's go."

Chen Jianye went out.

Qin Huairu quickly followed behind him.

Chen Jianye got on his bicycle, turned his head to look at Qin Huairu, and said, "Get on."

"Ah."

Qin Huairu quickly sat on the back of the bicycle, behaving very properly.

Although she was very good at flirting with men, she didn't dare to have any other thoughts about Chen Jianye.

Firstly, Ran Qiuye is an intellectual, young and beautiful, making Qin Huairu feel inferior.

Secondly, Chen Jianye had always been indifferent to her, so she naturally wouldn't presume to have feelings for him.

Upon arriving at the personnel department of the steel rolling mill, Chen Jianye parked the car.

Qin Huairu got off the bus.

The two then went upstairs.

With Chen Jianye's guidance, Qin Huairu's on-the-job training went smoothly, and she obtained the necessary approvals.

"Just take the permit to the fitter's workshop and report for duty. The foreman will take you in and assign you a senior worker."

Chen Jianye said.

"Uncle, could you take me there again?"

Qin Huairu was somewhat uneasy.

She was inevitably nervous as it was her first time working in the factory.

"Okay, get in the car."

Chen Jianye didn't say anything.

Qin Huairu got into the car again.

Chen Jianye's bicycle had a factory license plate, so he rode it directly to the fitter's workshop.

After parking the car, before Chen Jianye could take Qin Huairu to the work group's activity area, someone had already recognized Chen Jianye.

"Jianye! Chen Jianye is back."

“You’re the one who calls him Jianye. He’s Chief Engineer Chen now.”

"That's right, it was announced on the radio that Chen Jianye is the deputy chief engineer."

Everyone started talking excitedly, putting down their work and gathering around Chen Jianye.

"Just call me Jianye, everyone. We're all old colleagues. Call me the same way we used to."

Chen Jianye struck up a conversation with everyone.

There are many workers here; I used to work with him on the production line.

They're still here, except Chen Jianye has been promoted to the technical office.

"Chief Engineer Chen, what brings you back this time?"

"Squad leader Wang Lifang asked."

“Squad leader, why are you calling me Chief Engineer Chen too? Our relationship has become distant.”

Chen Jianye joked.

"Hey, you really are the chief engineer."

Wang Lifang felt a little embarrassed, as his former underlings had become big shots.

Although Wang Lifang often boasted using Chen Jianye's name, he was still a little reserved when they met face-to-face.

“I am the chief engineer, and I am also a worker in your team. That will not change.”

Chen Jianye said.

Wang Lifang was very excited. Just based on Chen Jianye's words, he would have new material to brag about to others in the future.

"Squad leader, this woman is named Qin Huairu. She is Zhang Cuihua's daughter-in-law. She is here to take Zhang Cuihua's place."

Chen Jianye got down to business.

"Hello, class monitor, my name is Qin Huairu."

"This is my letter of recommendation."

Qin Huairu quickly handed over the letter of recommendation.

"Welcome, Comrade Qin Huairu."

Wang Lifang took the letter of recommendation, glanced at it, and felt a tremor in his heart.

Jia Dongxu is gone, and so is Jia Zhangshi.

Now that Qin Huairu has come to his work group, I wonder if she'll be gone in a few days.

Wang Lifang felt that the Jia family was a bit strange.

"Squad leader, I've brought the person to you. I'm leaving now."

"There's still work waiting for me in the technical office."

Chen Jianye said.

"Go ahead and get busy, important business is more important."

Wang Lifang said.

Chen Jianye rode away on his bicycle.

As for Qin Huairu, he has already handed her over to Wang Lifang, and it has nothing to do with him anymore.

For the next few days, Chen Jianye had a relatively free time.

The research and development work of both groups is progressing smoothly. The pressure cooker body and lid are both metal parts, which involves a lot of mechanical knowledge.

This is precisely why research and development is very simple and the process is very fixed.

First, make the mold, then make a sample. Adjust the mold according to the sample, and continue making samples.

Through repeated experiments, one can naturally make a suitable pot body and lid.

The development of pressure cooker accessories is also progressing smoothly.

With the technical solutions provided by Chen Jianye, the R&D personnel only needed to implement them step by step.

During this period, Chen Jianye reported the work progress to Yang Liangping once, and Yang Liangping praised him with great pleasure.

Chen Jianye was in his office when there was a knock on the door.

Chen Jianye glanced at them and smiled, "Oh, it's you guys. Come in."

He recognized the people who came; they were two staff members from the propaganda department, named Zhuang Hongtao and Liang Dong'er.

Chen Jianye had been interviewed by them before, and his work was even featured on their bulletin board.

"Chief Engineer Chen, our publicity department would like to conduct an exclusive interview with you. Do you have time?"

Zhuang Hongtao asked politely.

"Sure, go ahead and ask."

Chen Jianye said casually.

"Chief Engineer Chen, could you tell us how you came up with the idea to develop this fast-heating immersion heater?"

"I heard that the electric kettle is selling very well and has created a lot of value for our company. The authorities are also very happy. How did you come up with such a successful product?"

Zhuang Hongtao asked the first question.

Clearly, he came prepared, having learned about the production and sales volume of electric kettles.

"I came up with this product when I was boiling water at home. We use a coal stove, which takes half an hour to boil water. In the morning, we also need to light the coal stove to boil water, which is very inconvenient."

"At that time, I thought, if a coal stove can boil water, can we use electricity to boil water?"

"I've got this idea..."

Chen Jianye spoke eloquently, recounting his journey in developing the hottest electric kettle.
