Siheyuan: Yi Zhonghai was chopped off with a knife, who in the courtyard would not obey

Yang Liangping's car was parked downstairs, and the driver was waiting for him to use it at any time.

Yang Liangping sat in the passenger seat.

Chen Jianye and Li Zaixing sat in the second row.

The back seats were cramped because they had a coal stove and a pressure cooker.

Li Zaixing sat close to the door, trying to give Chen Jianye as much space as possible.

The coal stove emitted heat, making Li Zaixing's thighs feel hot.

"Zaixing, go back to the technical office to handle the documents. Director Yang and I will go over there."

"If your trousers get on fire from the coal stove later, that'll be troublesome."

Chen Jianye said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you, Chief Engineer Chen."

Li Zaixing smiled.

The car started and drove towards the office of the superior after leaving the factory.

"Jianye, when we get to the leaders, you'll talk about the technical aspects."

"We will mainly talk about the features of our new products and their contributions to the country after opening up the market."

On the way, Yang Liangping gave Chen Jianye extra help.

Leaders don't like to hear how hard and tiring R&D is.

Who doesn't work hard and get tired?

What leaders want to hear is how good the new product is and how much value it can create.

"Director Yang, I've got it in mind."

Chen Jianye nodded.

The car arrived at the official building, and after the identity was verified, the armed security guards let it through.

After parking, Chen Jianye, carrying a coal stove, and Yang Liangping, carrying a pressure cooker and beef, were stopped downstairs again.

"Comrade, I am Yang Liangping, the director of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. This is our mill's latest product, used for stewing beef, so I brought the coal stove with me."

Yang Liangping explained.

The officers on duty still wouldn't let them through: "Have your leader's secretary come down and tell me that the coal stove absolutely cannot be brought upstairs, in case it gets set on fire."

Helpless, Yang Liangping could only put the pressure cooker and beef on the ground and go into the building himself.

Chen Jianye waited at the door.

After a while, Yang Liangping led a middle-aged man wearing a Zhongshan suit downstairs.

"Hello comrade, their supplies are permitted to pass."

The middle-aged man said to the officers on duty.

The officer on duty nodded, took two steps back, and made way.

"Thank you so much, Secretary Liu. If you hadn't come over, we really wouldn't have been able to get in."

Yang Liangping smiled helplessly.

"The security guards have their responsibilities, so please be understanding."

Secretary Liu chuckled.

The three arrived at an office on the third floor with the door half-open.

dong dong!

"Boss, Director Yang and the others have arrived."

Secretary Liu knocked on the door and entered the office.

"Good afternoon, boss. I'm here to report on my work."

Yang Liangping's voice was loud and clear, revealing a hint of joy.

"Liangping is here, please have a seat."

"Oh, Comrade Chen Jianye is here too."

"Xiao Liu, make them some tea."

The leader greeted us very warmly.

"Boss, I've come here today to share some good news with you."

"Our steel rolling mill has developed a new product, a pressure cooker, which has been completed. I brought it here specifically for your inspection."

Yang Liangping said.

"I know, it's a new product developed by Comrade Jianye. I've come to take a look."

The leader chuckled.

"Boss, let me explain the design and uses of the pressure cooker to you."

Chen Jianye placed the pressure cooker on the table.

The leader and Secretary Liu walked over to Chen Jianye.

"A pressure cooker is a cooking utensil that uses increased pressure inside the pot to quickly cook food. It has..."

"The ingredients cooked in the pressure cooker are very tender and delicious. To let the leaders witness the results, Director Yang specially asked me to bring over a piece of beef."

Chen Jianye smiled and opened the pot lid, revealing the beef inside.

"Wow, there really is beef! You guys are really reliable."

When the leader saw the beef, he was taken aback at first, then he smiled.

"Boss, it normally takes half an hour to cook beef, but with our pressure cooker, you can have fragrant beef in just twenty minutes."

Yang Liangping said from the side.

"Oh, so fast? I really want to see."

The leader became interested.

Chen Jianye poured water into the pressure cooker, closed the lid, and placed it on the coal stove.

It takes twenty minutes to cook beef.

Yang Liangping discussed the upcoming plans with his superiors.

The plan is to spend three months setting up a pressure cooker production line for mass production.

Because of the high cost, the product will be priced relatively high, and the domestic demand will not be very large.

The sales of pressure cookers are similar to those of electric kettles, primarily targeting overseas markets and earning the country a large amount of foreign exchange.

After adjustments to the sales channels in the port city, it can now reach most parts of the world, making the market very broad.

Yang Liangping estimates that once the pressure cooker enters the market, it will bring in at least 100 million yuan in foreign exchange earnings for the country.

Chen Bin, listening from the side, clicked his tongue in amazement. This guy had just made his first pressure cooker and hadn't even started mass production yet. He really dared to say that.

"Good, good, Liangping, you've done another good deed."

The leader was all smiles.

"Boss, we were able to achieve our goals without your support."

"Under your leadership, the steel rolling mill's output has doubled, the quality has met the standards, and even the research and development work has achieved results. You are our source of confidence."

Yang Liangping said sincerely.

The leader was increasingly pleased.

"Boss, twenty minutes are up. We can have some beef now."

"We also hope that the leaders will give us fair evaluations and urge us to improve."

Chen Jianye then spoke.

"Okay, I'd like to try it too. How does beef cooked in a pressure cooker taste?"

The leader stood up, clearly intrigued.

Chen Jianye lifted the pressure relief valve on the pressure cooker, and steam shot out like a fountain.

Instantly, the entire office was filled with the aroma of beef.

"I haven't even eaten it yet, but the smell alone makes my mouth water."

The leader said with a smile.

Once the pressure inside the pot had been released, Chen Jianye rotated the lid to open it.

Secretary Liu took out the prepared cutting board and kitchen knife.

Chen Jianye cut the beef into slices.

Secretary Liu distributed chopsticks.

The leader picked up a piece of beef, put it in his mouth to taste, and nodded repeatedly after chewing a few times.

"Boss, what do you think of the beef?"

Yang Liangping asked.

"It's very well made, and it's very chewy. No wonder you have confidence in the pressure cooker. Now I have confidence in the pressure cooker too."

The leader said with a smile.

"To be frank, this beef is even better than my wife's cooking. Although it only has a little salt, it has a rich beef flavor."

Secretary Liu praised it after tasting it.

"Haha, Secretary Liu, with your words I feel even more confident."

Yang Liangping said politely.

After the four finished enjoying the beef, Chen Jianye packed up the pressure cooker and coal stove, took them downstairs, and handed them to the driver.

As for the leftover beef, it was left in the office, of course.

What if the leader wants a couple more bites later?

Yang Liangping spoke with the leader for a while, then got up to take his leave.

"Liangping, the country has set very high goals for this year, and we are under a lot of pressure. Fortunately, you are here to hold up the sky."

"I remember your contributions and have mentioned them to my superiors. Don't worry, everyone will treat you well."

The leader shook Yang Liangping's hand and said encouraging words.
