Great Power Industry: You're a private company building an aircraft carrier?

Watching Wang Hui's departing figure, Yang Xue smiled and said, "Engineer Qin, back in the capital, he was a real tyrant. It's said that when people were ranking the 'Four Young Masters of Beijing,' he almost made it into the list. But here with you..."

"When you come here, even a dragon has to coil up before me, and a tiger has to lie down before me!" Qin Chuan's words were very domineering: "By the way, Translator Yang, why did you come with Engineer Zhu and the others?"

"It's Zhu and the others' first time here, and they're not familiar with the area, so I volunteered to be their guide. Besides, I also want to see the earth-shattering changes that are about to take place at Laiyang Steel Plant," Yang Xue replied with a smile. "Qin, I heard you went out again?"

"Yes, I went to Er Mao's place and brought back some good stuff," Qin Chuan explained.

"I heard you have a beautiful foreign woman with you?"

"Well, the secretary is mainly in charge of public relations... Okay, let's not talk about that anymore. I'm here to give everyone Mid-Autumn Festival benefits: two pounds of mooncakes and two hundred yuan each."

Two pounds of mooncakes is understandable, but two hundred yuan?

Zhu Lijun and the others were somewhat surprised: "Engineer Qin, we're from a sister company, we're not subordinate to each other, so why are you giving us this Mid-Autumn Festival benefit..."

"That's right, you said you came to our factory to help out. You're not even going home for the holidays, so shouldn't we give everyone some benefits? Here, Engineer Zhu, this is for you. And here, Translator Yang, take this!"

Two pounds of mooncakes and two hundred yuan were handed out to everyone, and their faces were full of smiles.

"Engineer Qin, the people who came here on business trips received more Mid-Autumn Festival benefits than our First Heavy Machinery. When they go back, they'll be the envy of everyone else."

"Yes! When it comes to compensation, private companies are better!"

"Of course, you are all talented people. If you are willing to stay in our Laiyang factory, your salary will be double what you were before, and you will get the best benefits! I, Qin Chuan... Hey, Engineer Zhu, why are you looking at me like that? People strive for higher positions, water flows downhill. Okay, okay, I won't say anything more."

It's not good to poach people in front of someone else's leader, but... it's not a big deal. Why not just keep Zhu Lijun too?

"Our factory is having a barbecue party tomorrow night. If you don't have family, come and join us for a fun time. We've also bought a 10-pound reunion cake, which we'll cut into pieces and give to everyone."

The people from the First Heavy Machinery Plant came from afar and couldn't go home to reunite with their families for the Mid-Autumn Festival. There were also some people in the factory who came from the capital with Qin Jianguo and couldn't go home either. So, there were twenty or thirty people in total, and they decided to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together at the factory.

"it is good."

The next day, evening.

As the setting sun cast its last rays upon the earth, the Laiyang factory became even more bustling.

Qin Chuan originally thought there would be twenty or thirty people, but many people stayed because they heard there was going to be some excitement. As a result, more than fifty people stayed. Seeing that things were not going well, Qin Chuan quickly asked Li Jianshe to buy another sheep, cut the mutton, and skewer it.

The skewers are made of steel wire drawn by the steel mill itself, a full meter long, and each skewer is filled with pieces of mutton the size of mahjong tiles. One person can eat a maximum of one skewer.

The barbecue grill was also welded on-site today; it's over two meters long and can grill dozens of lamb skewers at once. Li Jianshe poured in the charcoal, and then…

"Oh no, I forgot to buy solid alcohol!"

Charcoal can't be lit directly; solid alcohol is needed for convenience. When Li Jianshe and Qin Chuan were causing trouble everywhere, they used to steal sheep from other people's homes to barbecue. Their skills were superb, but even a skilled cook can't cook without rice.

"Pour some gasoline on it, and it'll start right away!"

"No, that will change the taste when baked!"

"What's so difficult about that? Bring the welding machine!" Qin Chuan gave an order that puzzled everyone.

He placed the grounding iron on the barbecue grill, then took the welding torch and poked at the charcoal, sparks flying everywhere!

One of a kind in the whole country: a welding machine for lighting charcoal!

Sparks flew everywhere, and the charcoal began to smoke. Twenty seconds later, a flame shot out.

"It's on fire! It's on fire!"

Not far away, Yang Xue was skewering meat with several female workers, occasionally glancing over here and watching Qin Chuan light charcoal with a welding machine, which she found quite interesting.

How does this person's brain work? They always come up with all sorts of strange and bizarre ideas! Yang Xue thought to herself.

"By the way, why do we only see Engineer Qin and Factory Director Qin? Where are his mother and other siblings?"

"His mother? I've never seen her before, could it be..."

These female workers weren't quite sure either.

He doesn't have any siblings; he's the only son in the family. Otherwise, he wouldn't have turned into a good-for-nothing.

"A scoundrel?"

The female worker who had let it slip was pulled aside by someone next to her. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

This girl is from the city and she's asking all sorts of questions about Xiao Chuan's background. Maybe she likes him. Don't say anything bad about him!

Yang Xue glanced at Qin Chuan again. How did this good-for-nothing rise to become a pillar of the factory, and even a pillar of the navy?

interesting.

The lamb skewers sizzled on the fire, and Qin Chuan called out as he turned them over.

"Hey, let's have some grilled lamb skewers! Movie stars, try our lamb skewers, they're so stingy!"

"Try it! Grilled lamb skewers! Hey passerby, why don't you try our grilled lamb skewers!"

Everyone laughed.

"A skewer of mutton is five yuan. Anyone who wants some, get your money ready!"

"I want a skewer, here you go, five yuan."

"Okay... Grandpa Wang?" Qin Chuan looked at Wang Xiangyang with a big smile: "You didn't go back? They didn't come to see you either?"

"They wanted to take me back, but I didn't agree. I'm so comfortable here, and I can even eat lamb skewers."

"Okay, I'll brush some more oil on this skewer and then I'll give it to you." Qin Chuan's quick movements were just like someone who had been selling lamb skewers at a stall for years.

Wang Hui followed behind his grandfather, glancing at Yang Xue a few times, wanting to go over, but ultimately didn't dare.

Brother Chuan is disloyal; he wants to have his way with every pretty girl, but he's not sure about the relationship. He's playing both sides!

You've got all the beautiful women in the world, why don't you consider other single guys?

"Brother Chuan, I want to too..."

"There's none for you. Go sit over there and wait!"

Just then, Qin Jianguo walked over.

"Xiao Chuan, are they done grilling? Give me two skewers, I'll take them to Translator Yang."

"Okay, these two skewers are ready!"

Wang Hui was speechless. "Brother Chuan, this is too much..."

Qin Jianguo, holding a skewer of lamb, walked up to Yang Xue with a smile: "Translator Yang, these skewers of lamb were specially grilled for you by Xiao Chuan. Try them and see if you like them."

The other female workers laughed, and one of them, who was usually very talkative, teased them.

"Director Qin, the way you're looking at me is like a father-in-law looking at his daughter-in-law!"

"What's wrong? Translator Yang is an intellectual, a cultured person. If she marries Xiao Chuan, it will be a blessing for our Qin family!"

Yang Xue blushed instantly.

"Dad, what are you yelling about? Where's your manners? Where's your awareness?"
