Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

But then he thought, this is not a bad idea. Speaking openly proves that he is still close to him, so he said, "Boy, how about you count it as a secondment or consultant? How about this? You get more exposure to the engine. If you can improve or enhance the engine performance, it will be considered as your contribution."

Li Dongfang understood that although Minister Wang did not believe that he could produce a high-end turbojet engine, he still had some confidence in his ability to optimize and modify the engine, so he smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Wang."

Minister Wang glared at him helplessly and said, "Let me make it clear first, there is only subsidy, no salary."

Li Dongfang also knew that with his experience in dealing with engines, his future skills would not be completely unacceptable to others, which was obviously a good thing, so he said solemnly: "It doesn't matter whether there is salary or subsidy, we are serving the people, the main thing is... this road is too long."

Minister Wang smiled when he heard it and said, "If you have any ideas, tell me."

Li Dongfang scratched his head and pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Uncle Wang, I heard that we can now produce sidecars ourselves?"

Minister Wang smiled and rolled his eyes at him, saying, "Don't even think about buying a new one. The repair shop has some scrapped ones. If you can fix them, I'll give you a license plate."

"Okay, thank you Uncle Wang. If you have nothing else to do, I'll leave first." Li Dongfang immediately changed his expression.

Minister Wang also waved at him helplessly, indicating that he could go away.

Li Dongfang got the advantage and happily said goodbye and left the Ministry of Industry building.

He rode his bike straight to the steel rolling mill and first reported the test results and the affirmation of the bigwigs in the department to Director Yang. Director Yang obviously knew all this, but he also welcomed Li Dongfang's proactive reporting and praised him. Director Yang also took out two watch tickets as a reward. Li Dongfang did not expect such an unexpected surprise.

It was almost time for lunch, so Director Yang asked Li Dongfang to go to the cafeteria to eat together. The leaders had their own small cafeteria, and although the dishes they ate were the same as those of ordinary workers, the cooking level was much better.

There were not many people in the small cafeteria. Li Dongfang, Director Yang and several section chiefs were sitting at a round table eating when they saw Liu Lan rushing in in a panic.

Liu Lan was obviously in a panic. She was stunned when she saw so many leaders. It was Li Dongfang who shoveled the remaining food into his mouth and stood up to help her out.

"Comrade Liu Lan, didn't I say I would go to the infirmary to see you this afternoon? Why are you so anxious?"

As he said this, he secretly winked at Liu Lan.

Liu Lan was also a smart person. The moment he understood, he quickly replied:

"Chief Li, I'm really sorry. I have something to do this afternoon. Can you help me now? I've been feeling a little itchy since my last burn."

Li Dongfang also greeted Director Yang and the others, then led Liu Lan out. Liu Lan was obviously a little hesitant, as if there was a flood or a beast outside the door. Li Dongfang signaled her with his eyes to rest assured, and led the way out.

After leaving the door, Liu Lan carefully looked around to see if there was anyone around. Only then did she feel relieved and turned to Li Dongfang and said, "Chief Li, thank you."

Li Dongfang looked at her with a playful smile and said, "Just say thank you."

Liu Lan was about to say something when her eyes suddenly changed and she whispered in panic, "Chief Li, help me."

Li Dongfang turned his head and looked in the direction Liu Lan was looking. As expected, he saw a greasy middle-aged man walking towards him with a serious face. He took a closer look and found that it was Director Li.

When Li Dongfang saw Liu Lan, he thought that this guy must have forced Liu Lan again. In the original book, Liu Lan had maintained an unclear relationship with him for quite a long time. Obviously, Director Li has not succeeded yet.

"Director Li, have you eaten?" Li Dongfang greeted him.

Director Li then saw that it was Li Dongfang, and immediately smiled and said, "Not yet, the kitchen is busy."

After that, he turned to Liu Lan and said seriously, "Comrade Liu Lan, what's wrong with you? I asked you to come to the small warehouse to get something. What are you doing?"

Li Dongfang glanced at the panicked Liu Lan and said to Director Li, "Oh, this is my fault. I saw Liu Lan and asked her to check her recovery from the last burn. Director Li, can you let me go in a while?"

Director Li frowned at Li Dongfang's obviously protective attitude. He was now the director of the logistics department, but he didn't expect Li Dongfang to not give him any face. However, Li Dongfang was a popular person in the factory, and even Director Duan was fond of him. So Director Li decided to give Li Dongfang some face and let Liu Lan go for the time being. He smiled and said, "So that's the case. Liu Lan, you didn't say anything. Then you should return to your post after the inspection."

Although he said it with a smile, Li Dongfang still saw viciousness in his eyes. He narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Director Li's back, and it was obvious that he had taken a responsibility to himself in his heart.

Li Dongfang had not originally intended to make an enemy of Director Li. After all, it was somewhat unkind of him to covet someone else's wife. He did not expect that this guy was so petty. In that case, don't blame me for snatching Liu Lan away from you.

"Liu Lan, Li Dongfang, what are you doing here?" At this time, Sha Zhu came over wiping his hands, obviously having just finished his work.

Li Dongfang immediately had an idea when he saw Sha Zhu, and said with a smile: "It's Brother Zhu, are you here to adjust the kitchen?"

Sha Zhu was several years older than Li Dongfang, so calling him brother was not too much, but this made Sha Zhu uncomfortable. He looked at Li Dongfang warily and said, "Li Dongfang, what do you want to do?"

Li Dongfang found his look funny. It was just a beating by him last time. Was there any need to be so afraid of him? Look at Xu Damao. He was beaten by you since he was a child and he was never afraid. He kept fighting after being defeated and refused to admit defeat.

"Brother Zhuzi, we all live in the same courtyard. How could I have any bad intentions? I'm just congratulating you."

Although he is called Shazhu, he is not stupid at all. Apart from his dog-licking nature, he is very smart. When he saw Director Li's back and considered that Liu Lan was also there, he understood the situation at once, snorted and prepared to leave.

Li Dongfang reached out to stop Sha Zhu, then turned to Liu Lan and said, "Help me take the lunch box back to the infirmary. I'll go over after I have a few words with Brother Zhu."

Liu Lan nodded in agreement, and Li Dongfang pulled Sha Zhu out of the cafeteria.
