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

Qin Chuan looked at the female translator with curiosity.

Yang Xue, who had previously worked as a translator for the Japanese, came to the Yang Factory. However, unlike Pan Yang, she had no foreign worship or sycophancy, which Qin Chuan greatly admired.

However, he was unaware that this translator's background was actually quite extraordinary; her father worked in the foreign affairs system.

Forget it, it doesn't really concern me. The two of them belong to two different worlds. What could a second-generation official and a second-generation factory owner who almost went bankrupt possibly have in common?

The meeting finalized the self-developed rolling mill project. The next step is to check the data and conduct research. Although Laiyang Plant is responsible for producing the key components, construction can only begin after the overall design is completed.

So, this matter is temporarily over.

After the meeting, Qin Chuan chatted with Luo Rongguang for a while before walking outside with a relaxed gait. Now that the project was underway, they should proceed step by step. Once completed, the project could provide the country with urgently needed special steel, which was needed by various industries in China, especially for aircraft carriers…

I could hear a light pattering sound outside. It's raining!

Drip!

The sound of an Audi rang out. Li Jianshe had already driven the car to the building entrance and was waiting for Qin Chuan. So, Qin Chuan rushed into the rain and got into the car.

"Brother Chuan, where to next?" Li Jianshe asked.

An hour earlier, Li Runping had gone to the bank to transfer money to ask First Heavy Machinery to help with research and development. He was going to have to pay them, since he wouldn't be able to participate in the subsequent technical discussions anyway.

"Find a decent hotel, stay one night, and leave tomorrow."

It's dangerous to travel back and forth on a rainy day.

"it is good."

The Audi drove out of the compound, its headlights shining ahead; the rain was really heavy.

On the roadside bus stop platform, a figure was waiting for the bus under the bus stop sign. In the drizzling rain, her legs and below were almost completely wet.

Qin Chuan glanced at it and quickly said, "Jianshe, park the car at the bus stop and pick up Translator Yang!"

Most of the people who came to the meeting stayed at the guesthouse next door, while Yang Xue took the bus home alone. She didn't expect the rain to start so suddenly, and she didn't have an umbrella. She just hoped that the bus would come soon.

As it turned out, the old Huanghai bus didn't come, but the Audi did!

The car window rolled down, revealing a head: "Translator Yang, get in the car quickly, I'll take you home!"

Yang Xue hesitated for a moment, then saw Qin Chuan had already opened the car door. Looking at the sky, the night was so dark that no stars could be seen, and she didn't know how long the rain would last, so she had no choice but to jump into the car.

"Thank you very much, Engineer Qin."

"You're welcome. Translator Yang, where do you live?"

No. 4, Jia, South Street of Chaoyangmen.

"Okay, Jianshe, drive!"

This wasn't Yang Xue's first time riding in an Audi, but this time she felt slightly uneasy.

She calmed herself down and said, "Engineer Qin, your company in Yangchang is amazing. I've been to many factories and done many translation jobs, but I've never seen you treat foreign clients the way you do in Yangchang."

Qin Chuan smiled and said, "What method? No kneeling? We all have two shoulders and one head, no one is more noble than anyone else, of course we won't grovel to foreigners."

The wording was somewhat impolite, but the words made perfect sense. Yang Xue smiled and nodded, "That's right, Engineer Qin, what you said today was truly thought-provoking..."

"It's already after get off work, there's no need to preach any grand principles."

Rumble... Just then, Qin Chuan's stomach started growling.

"Engineer Qin, I can't just ride in your car for free. There's a convenient canteen next to our residential compound that's open to the public. I'll treat you to a meal there!"

"Ok."

Yang Xue finally relaxed, placed her hand on the car door armrest, and casually touched it...

Then, he touched a long hair, and upon closer inspection, it was golden hair!

Yang Xue's face changed instantly.

"This car is the best one we have at Laiyang Factory. It's often used for business receptions. We've been in a lot of contact with the Russians lately, and this hair was left by one of their female clients."

"Oh." Yang Xue smiled, her mood suddenly improving. Qin Gong didn't need to explain to her; his words only meant that he cared about her feelings.

……

The community canteen was located next to the compound's wall. Originally, it only operated internally, but as the reforms deepened, it also began to open to the public. The main gate leading to the interior was blocked, and the street-facing entrance was reopened.

People inside who want to eat have to go around the gate guarded by security guards to get there.

However, the canteen mainly caters to internal staff. When Yang Xue led Qin Chuan and Li Jianshe in, many people who were eating inside looked up and greeted them warmly.

"Xiaoxue, are you coming to eat?"

"Yes, Auntie, bring your friends over for a bite to eat."

"This young man is quite good-looking! Xiaoxue, this is yours..."

“Boss!” Yang Xue answered confidently.

After everyone sat down, Yang Xue smiled and asked, "Engineer Qin, what would you like to eat?"

"Just a few simple home-style dishes will do, the most important thing is to have some soup, then we'll have rice soaked in the soup later," Qin Chuan said. "That's my favorite."

"Okay, then I'll just order whatever I like..."

The hot dishes were served quickly, and the group ate and chatted in a pleasant atmosphere. As the night wore on, all the other diners left, and the rain outside had long since stopped.

Squeak!

The sharp screech of motorcycle brakes rang out, followed by the sound of footsteps.

Yang Xue raised her wrist and looked at her watch: "It's eight o'clock, it's getting late, I should go back."

"Alright, we should go now."

"Hey, isn't this Yang Xue?"

"Yeah, the famous ice queen in this compound, who's usually aloof and ignores everyone, why is she eating and drinking with two young men today?"

Li Jianshe casually grabbed a bottle of Arctic Ocean soda. These days, what's there to say? If you disagree, you'll just start fighting.

These men were dressed in denim, with sunglasses in their breast pockets, and had parted hair. The leader even had a tuft of dyed blond hair. They didn't look like good people.

Yang Xue frowned: "Engineer Qin, let's ignore these people and go."

Qin Chuan nodded: "Jianshe, let's go."

"Qin Gong? Or an engineer?"

Upon hearing this greeting, the blond-haired leader suddenly became interested and swiftly pulled a shiny object from his pocket.

Boom!

This thing is stuck in the table.

"Engineer, what do you think of this knife?"

Yang Xue's face darkened. "You dare to cause trouble right at the entrance of the compound? I can just shout and the guards inside will come out!"

However, before she could even shout, Qin Chuan spoke up.

"Not very good, it can't even cut this wire of mine."

After saying that, Qin Chuan took out a thin wire from his pocket.
