After arranging Wang Xing's work, Liu Ziguang drove to Lao Wen's house and handed over to him, although Lao Wen's father and daughter had already passed the phone and knew that everything was safe, but how could there be face-to-face details on the phone, Liu Ziguang also showed Lao Wen the photos taken at Beiqing University, and told him that the living facilities in the university are complete, the teachers are all senior intellectuals who have studied both Chinese and Western, and the classmates are also very easy to get along with, so he can rest assured.

Lao Wen was very pleased, the wrinkles on his face were all smiling, his daughter was his biggest concern, in the past, no matter how hard and tired he was, no matter how bad his health was, there was always a belief and strength to support him not to fall, and now his daughter was finally admitted to a prestigious university, and with so many kind-hearted people who are not relatives, but are better than relatives, he has nothing to worry about.

After the burden of thousands of catties was suddenly unloaded, although it was extremely relaxed, but the mental state of the whole person collapsed, I didn't see it for just half a month, Lao Wen seemed to be ten years old, his steps were a little staggering, his complexion was very poor, showing a dark color of a late kidney failure patient.

"Brother Wen, you're okay, why don't I take you to the hospital?" Liu Ziguang asked.

Lao Wen waved his hand: "Don't spend that unjust money, I know my own body, and I am content to be able to train my daughter." ”

Liu Ziguang looked at Lao Wen's room, the dust on the windowsill and table was very thick, the kitchen was empty, there was still a half-bowl of leftover noodles on the board, and next to it was a plate of mustard, this clean and tidy southern man no longer had the strength to clean up the house and take care of himself.

"Brother Wen, I don't think it's as good as this, now the factory is engaged in upgrading technological innovation, there is an urgent shortage of technical personnel, you are very familiar with the equipment and technology of our factory, it is better to return to the factory as a technical guide, food and accommodation are in the factory, in addition to the pension every month can also get an extra allowance, what do you think?" Liu Ziguang said.

Lao Wen's eyes lit up, and then dimmed again: "Technology is changing with each passing day, and I haven't been engaged in scientific research for many years, and I can't keep up." ”

Liu Ziguang smiled: "In fact, technological innovation is not so rapid, the American B52 has been used for so many years, and now it is not serving in the front line, I think you don't shirk it, the current college students are very rough, and they need your old qualifications to sit in for guidance." ”

It can be seen that Lao Wen is still very enthusiastic about going back to work in the factory, since Liu Ziguang vigorously invited, he hesitated for a moment and agreed: "Okay, then I'll wave the residual heat again, anyway, it's better than sitting at home and waiting for death." ”

"Okay, I'll report to Director Lu when I go back, and let the factory office send a letter of appointment, so be it, I'll go first."

Liu Ziguang got up to say goodbye, and Lao Wen also stood up, pointed to the pile of things that Liu Ziguang had placed in the corner of the wall and said, "Don't forget to take the things." ”

"Hehe, these mooncakes and salad oil are Mid-Autumn Festival condolences from the factory to retirees." Liu Ziguang said with a smile.

……

Coming out of the old Wen family, Liu Ziguang went to the municipal hospital to meet his future father-in-law, although Fang Fei went to Africa, the two have not been in contact for a long time, but Liu Ziguang will always bring gifts to visit Dean Fang during the New Year's holidays.

It is said that this kind of visit should go to the house, but since his daughter went abroad, Dean Fang has devoted all her body and mind to work, eating and living in the hospital, and never going home, this kind of selfless work attitude seems to be the tradition of the Fang family.

When he came to the dean's office, Dean Fang happened to complete a craniotomy, and when he saw Liu Ziguang coming, the little old man was very happy, and pulled Liu Ziguang to ask long and short questions, he was a person who was engaged in research, and he didn't care about the outside world, and he was still asking Liu Ziguang how he was doing in the property company.

"It's good, uncle, how are you doing?" Liu Ziguang sat down in a regular manner and asked politely.

"Okay, okay, by the way, has Xiaofei written recently?"

Liu Ziguang was stunned, and even Dean Fang didn't receive the letter.

"Oh, last time Xiaofei said that they were going to work in East Africa, the conditions there are very difficult, there is no telephone network, and the local residents are still in the primitive stage, this child is very professional." Dean Fang said a lot, Liu Ziguang listened respectfully, and from time to time he lined up a sentence or two, Dean Fang said a little bit of excitement, and suddenly said: "Don't go, go back and eat in the hospital cafeteria, I'll treat you." ”

Liu Ziguang hurriedly said okay, and suddenly Liu Ziguang's mobile phone and the phone on the desk rang at the same time, Dean Fang reached out and picked up the microphone, and said slowly: "Hey? Here Liu Ziguang hurriedly went out and pressed the answer button, the call was from Lu Tianming, asking Liu Ziguang to rush to the Hongqi Iron and Steel Plant before six o'clock, there was something important.

Liu Ziguang was a little embarrassed, isn't that the time to eat, did the old man still have to stay for himself to eat just now, how can this be excused, and Lu Tianming's side seemed to be non-negotiable, so he hung up the phone after speaking.

Entering the room, it was a little difficult to speak, Dean Fang spoke first: "I'm afraid it won't work today, there will be an academic seminar later, please let me speak, so let's make an appointment again." ”

Liu Ziguang was relieved and said busily: "Okay, then I won't delay your work." "Say go out quickly, look at the time, it's already four fifty, it's the rush hour after work, from the municipal hospital to the Hongqi Iron and Steel Plant this road is quite difficult to walk, is building the road to restrict, and now there are too many people to buy a car, Jiangbei City adds thousands of new licensed vehicles every month, the road conditions have not improved, every rush hour, traffic jams everywhere, it is difficult to move an inch, and the five-minute journey can be blocked for an hour.

Go out and get in the car, the traffic at the entrance of the hospital is already very dense, the queue of cars waiting to get out, the road outside the door is blocked, and it is hard to drive out, but now the road is blocked into a pot of porridge, Liu Ziguang is also not good, reached out and touched the police lights hidden under the seat, buckled on the roof of the car and drove directly onto the sidewalk, his car is still the Ang Kere from Director Jin, hanging the secret cover license plate of the national security, even if there is a fine for taking pictures, all the way out of the blocked road, straight to the steel plant.

Coming to the steel mill is exactly six o'clock and five minutes, Rao is Liu Ziguang's driving skills are outstanding, rampant, and can not stand the flow of traffic like a sea, usually twenty minutes away from walking for an hour, when registering at the gate of the steel plant, he noticed a strange scene, there is a long line of ships moored in the Huaijiang River, looking at the shape seems to be a military landing craft.

For the time being, Liu Ziguang drove to the factory building, saw that Lu Tianming was already waiting here, and when he saw Liu Ziguang coming, he happily stepped forward and said: "Come on time, very military." ”

Liu Ziguang asked: "Uncle Ming, what are the arrangements for me to come in such a hurry?" ”

Lu Tianming smiled and said, "Go back to Mr. Wei's house to have a meal together." ”

Liu Ziguang suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "What does it mean for you two to eat and catch up, and pull me as a light bulb." ”

Lu Tianming said: "You kid, where do you want to go, Mr. Wei has a good impression of you, she has a daughter in her family who is the same age as you, we are elders, I want to match you up, and you will behave more naturally later, let's see everywhere first." ”

Liu Ziguang was speechless, but Lu Tianming was very excited, and said: "Have you seen those boats on the river, the revival of the Hongqi Factory depends on them." ”

Liu Ziguang wondered, "What's the matter?" ”

Lu Tianming said: "I thought for a long time, in the current international environment, small and medium-sized steel enterprises want to survive, for development, must create their own way, the international iron ore price remains high, the quality of domestic iron ore is low, these two roads can not go, Wei Zong's previous thinking is very good, the acquisition of scrap iron steelmaking, but there are also some problems, I extended it on the basis of her, the purchase of scrap iron to dismantle the ship, those boats are the retired landing craft I contacted from the army, don't look at the years, but they are all good steel, Now dismantle small landing craft, and after accumulating technical experience, larger ships can be dismantled, and dismantling scrap ships is better than hard work to import iron ore. ”

Lu Tianming was full of confidence, and Liu Ziguang's emotions were also brought up by him, saying: "Okay, when the time comes, contact a few retired aircraft carriers to dismantle and play, maybe you can still bring up the tourism industry." ”

Of course, this is all a joke, how can a retired aircraft carrier be so easy to acquire, even a scrapped freighter is not so easy to buy, the international shipbreaking industry is not just emerging, but has existed for hundreds of years, as a new shipbreaking enterprise, Hongqi Factory still has a long way to go.

"After this batch of ships, there is also a batch of scrapped boat bridge equipment, which can be transported as long as the railway is well connected......," Lu Tianming gushed endlessly, Liu Ziguang quipped: "Uncle Ming, you just come to the Hongqi Factory to work part-time, I think you are more concerned about the Hongqi Factory than our Chenguang Factory." ”

Lu Tianming's eyes darkened, and said: "I owe her too much, no matter how much I do, it is difficult to compensate, and now she is most concerned about the factory, so I can only do my best to help her improve the efficiency of the factory, so that everyone is happy." ”

Liu Ziguang sighed very understandingly, and was about to say a few words, when he suddenly saw Mr. Wei appear at the staircase, and the businesswoman smiled and said: "Wait a minute, there was a delay just now, let's go, let's go home, I will personally cook a few dishes for you to taste." ”

Hongqi factory has several family areas, there is one near the factory, or the 80s built tube building, in this area of the countryside like a flock, now the city has expanded, the family area has become a dilapidated old community, but the greening and sanitation situation is not bad.

Mr. Wei's home is in one of the tube buildings, the five-story red brick façade is covered with vines, and the downstairs carport is full of workers' bicycles and electric vehicles.

The two-bedroom house is quite spacious, one is Mr. Wei's bedroom, the other is his daughter's room, the door is closed and it seems that no one has come back, Mr. Wei is busy washing vegetables and cutting vegetables in the kitchen alone, Lu Tianming wants to help, but Mr. Wei said: "The kitchen is too small, two people can't turn around, you just sit, there are newspapers on the coffee table, there are melon seeds, you want to eat fruit and peel it yourself, you can smoke it, the ashtray is only under the coffee table, wash and reuse." ”

So, Wei Shumin was busy in the kitchen alone, Liu Ziguang and Lu Tianming, two big men, sitting on the sand in the living room smoking leisurely, reading the newspaper, looking like a harmonious little family, the mother was busy cooking, and the father and son were waiting for dinner.

Although Wei Shumin is an entrepreneur known as the Iron Lady, her cooking skills are not bad at all, just listening to the sound of frying and frying in the kitchen, bursts of fragrance waft out, and it makes people appetize before they see the dishes.

Suddenly there was a sound of the key opening the door outside the door, a person walked in, due to the angle, the person who came in did not see the guests on the sand, she bent down to change her slippers, and complained: "Today the traffic jam is bad, fortunately I didn't take the bus, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get home after dark, Mom, what kind of food is cooking, so fragrant." ”

Wei Shumin replied while stir-frying: "Xiaoqian, there are guests, greet people." ”

As a result, Liu Ziguang saw Wei Ziqian, assistant to the president of Zhicheng Group, appear in front of him.
