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

"I've applied to my supervisor to go to the port city for a week-long research trip starting tomorrow."

Chen Jianye didn't waste any words and got straight to the point.

The crowd was somewhat surprised, but none of them asked any questions, waiting for Chen Jianye to continue.

"For the time being, Chief Engineer Su will lead the work. Engineer Luo and Engineer Lei, you two will be responsible for the specific tasks and report to Chief Engineer Su."

Chen Jianye continued.

"No problem, Director Yang has already informed me."

Su Xincheng said with a smile.

Luo Renping and Lei Kaixuan also stated that there would be absolutely no mishaps in their work.

"Jianye, what aspect of work are you planning to investigate in the port city?"

Su Xincheng asked the question that had been on everyone's mind.

“Actually, even if you hadn’t asked, Chief Engineer Su, I would have explained it to everyone.”

"The system in the port city is different from ours. It's a market economy there, and the products produced must focus on the needs of the people. So the merchants there study what the people need every day, and their products are more effective in the market than ours."

"Now, the main purpose of our production is to earn foreign exchange. Our market is the people of Hong Kong and even the world. In terms of market understanding, I need to learn from the merchants in Hong Kong and strive to be ahead of them."

"In the second half of the year, we will develop and produce electric blankets. After this product, I am not very confident about the next product. I need to go to the port city to conduct research and learn."

Chen Jianye explained it in great detail.

He went into detail because he needed his team members to explain his reasons for going to the port city to others.

His trip to the port city was for research and learning, which was perfectly legitimate and supported by his superiors.

No one can find fault with it.

"Jianye, no wonder you have achieved so much. Your spirit of learning and striving is something we should all learn from."

Su Xincheng sighed.

"The team leader is truly exceptional. If I were him, I would have been basking in the glory long ago."

"Who can argue with that? We're still working on pressure cooker production, and he's already thinking about the product after that."

"Thinking three steps ahead for every one step he takes—I can't even catch up to the leader's ability to act."

Everyone was discussing it enthusiastically, saying nice things.

"Alright, we're all colleagues. Going too far with the flattery is going too far."

"You guys go ahead with your work, I'm going to chat with Chief Engineer Su for a bit."

Chen Jianye laughed and scolded.

Others left.

"Chief Engineer Su, I feel most at ease leaving this work to you."

"When I come back, I'll bring you a bottle of wine from Hong Kong."

Chen Jianye joked.

"Hi, can you bring it over? I remember there are border checks on both the way to and from the port city."

Su Xincheng said with a smile.

“I can’t bring them back by myself, but it’s fine if I go with people from the Ministry of Foreign Trade. They are familiar with the people at the border, and as long as I don’t bring too many, the people at the border will turn a blind eye.”

Chen Jianye revealed some information.

"No wonder you always go with them, it turns out there's this perk."

Su Xincheng suddenly realized.

After chatting for a while, Su Xincheng went to attend to other things.

Chen Jianye rode his bicycle to You Fengxia's residence.

"I'm going to the port city tomorrow and will be back in a week."

Chen Jianye said.

"Ah."

You Fengxia simply hummed in agreement, then handed the child to her grandmother and pulled Chen Jianye into the house.

She wanted to squeeze Chen Jianye dry so that he wouldn't run into other women when he got to Hong Kong.

Although You Fengxia came later, she didn't want Chen Jianye to find a third woman.

Ran Qiuye was in the lead, and You Fengxia had nothing to say. If Chen Jianye found a third woman, there would be another person to have children for him.

After You Fengxia, with more children, men stopped treasuring her.

Therefore, she had to be extremely vigilant.

On this point, she understood it even better than Ran Qiuye, after all, she herself was a latecomer.

Two hours later, Chen Jianye came out of the room.

Compared to when he arrived at the courtyard, his eyes were now a little blurry.

Even with his excellent physical condition, he found it difficult to keep up with the intense interaction with You Fengxia.

As for You Fengxia...

Tonight, she can't do anything but lie in bed taking care of the child.

Back in the courtyard, Chen Jianye talked to Ran Qiuye about going to Gangcheng the next day.

Ran Qiuye's eyes held a hint of reluctance and melancholy, but more than that, they revealed an eagerness to get Chen Jianye dry.

Chen Jianye's heart skipped a beat.

Damn it, here we go again.

He desperately wanted to back down, but he couldn't retreat; he couldn't expose his weakness.

Lü Qiang, however, was very shrewd. She went home specifically to give the young couple, who were about to be separated for a while, some space so as not to affect Ran Qiuye's performance.

That night, after putting the child to sleep, Ran Qiuye turned over and lay on top of Chen Jianye.

The couple spoke intimately, and then became affectionate.

Early the next morning.

Lu Qiang rushed back early to prepare breakfast for the young couple and to take Chen Zhongguo with her.

Because Ran Qiuye had to go to work, Chen Zhongguo had no one to take care of him.

When she arrived at the Chen family home, she only saw Ran Qiuye eating breakfast alone.

"Qiuye, where's Jianye?"

"Oh, where is my grandson?"

Lu Qiang asked.

"Mom, Jianye left at six o'clock. Zhongguo is still sleeping in bed, he hasn't woken up yet."

Ran Qiuye's voice revealed a sense of exhaustion.

She was working too hard last night, and Chen Jianye had to shake her awake this morning.

I feel so weak right now, I just want to take a day off and stay home to rest.

"Jianye went so early? Okay then."

Lu Qiang ran to the bedside to check on Chen Zhongguo, and after confirming that the little guy was sleeping soundly, a smile appeared on her face.

For her, Chen Zhongguo was the most important person.

As long as the little one is well, everything else is fine.

Chen Jianye took a bus to the train station.

After waiting inside the station for a while, he saw Zhang Jungang and his group arrive.

"Comrade Zhang Jungang."

Chen Jianye stood up and waved.

"Comrade Chen Jianye."

Zhang Jungang also shouted loudly and waved enthusiastically.

Cao Chai also greeted them.

"Comrade Jianye, this is Li Fan, and this is Zhao Qiuji. They are both staff members of our Ministry of Foreign Trade."

"Li Fan, Qiu Ji, this is Chief Engineer Chen Jianye whom I told you about. Don't let his youth fool you, he is the deputy chief engineer of the steel rolling mill. His trip to Gangcheng this time was specially approved by Minister Ye."

Zhang Jungang introduced them to each other.

Chen Jianye greeted Li Fan and Zhao Qiuji, as they were already acquainted.

“Jianye’s technical skills are very high. Last time we went to the port city with him to work, we could only unload cargo at the dock to make money, but he could repair equipment and organize production lines for the port city bosses and earn much more than us.”

"If you learn even a trick or two from him, you'll definitely be living the high life in Hong Kong."

Cao Chai said from the side.

"Comrade Chen Jianye is truly remarkable. He developed a fast-heating pressure cooker, which is amazing."

Li Fan praised.

"Comrade Chen Jianye, I hope to learn more from you on my journey to the port city."

Zhao Qiuji then spoke.

"I'm only good at technical skills; in other areas, you guys are better than me."

"Let's learn and improve together."

Chen Jianye said modestly.

Li Fan and Zhao Qiuji were surprised. They had thought that Chen Jianye, being a skilled technician, would be arrogant, but they were surprised to find him to be so approachable and easy-going.
