In the living room, Carrotta was busy cleaning up the teacups and ashtrays on the coffee table, and muttered in her mouth, "An old politician, a small politician is still playing with flowers, wasting an afternoon and giving out tens of thousands of taels of silver, I feel that Hu Wenkai, you will definitely not do anything to suffer, hey!" Hu Wenkai, tell me why you gave them money. ”

"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, Carrota, you don't ask, and if you ask, you won't tell you."

In the evening, the two had dinner, and Carrotta beware of a few people eating all the dishes in the morning, so that Liu's mother could keep some of them first, and she had a good time at the dinner table. Seeing Hu Wenkai smiling at her, he immediately shouted: "Did you let Mother Liu keep the food?" ”

Hu Wenkai had no choice but to reheat the hairy crab reserved by Liu's mother from the cupboard for her to eat. This foodie ate one at noon, took off the disguise in front of him at night, and ate three in a row, and Hu Wenkai's towel to wash her face made her toss.

Hu Wenkai couldn't cry or laugh: "Silly girl, you'll be taking a shower in a while, why are you still wiping your hands with my towel?" I can't eat it anymore, my stomach will not be able to stand it at night, this thing is very cold. ”

"Okay, but the seasoning you made is so delicious to dip the hairy crab" The crab roe on his fingers painted his cheeks and nose, Hu Wenkai found a mirror to show her, this guy doesn't care about a kind of me, what can you do with me?

But at a glance, he took a fancy to the 3 yuan double-sided folding crystal mirror in the Yiwu small commodity market in Hu Wenkai's hand, Hu Wenkai carefully checked the mirror, and gave her peace of mind that there was nothing.

This kind of small mirror is a shocking product in this time and space, looking at her like a treasure of surprise: "You can't look in the mirror at night, beware of a beautiful man coming out of it to take you away, then we won't see the beautiful Carrota, and we will be heartbroken." ”

She looked up at the crab roe face and said yearningly, "That beautiful man won't be Hu Wenkai, you, if it's you, I'm not afraid." ”

"Go take a shower, I'm scared of you, nymphomaniac."

"Mmmm, I'll clean up the restaurant and then go to the shower, I have to boil the water first, you help me get the water, don't stand here."

"Eat me, drink me, snatch my things, and ask me to help you boil the bath water, boil the water to scald the pig," he muttered as he picked up the water as he carried the kettle.

Carrotta smiled in the dining room, touched the small mirror with her hand, and replied: "I'm happy to eat you, I'm happy to drink you, I'm happy to grab your things, hum girl's mirror is embarrassed to use, I'm washing the dishes, you can't help me get water, you're a pig"

"What kind of logic do you have, that you have been infected with the logic of God in the diocese?"

"Hu Wenkai, I don't believe in religion in my bones"

"Okay, I'll go upstairs and get busy, put water in the bath by myself, be careful not to be too narcissistic, you can't look in the mirror when you take a bath" Hu Wenkai smiled and ran upstairs. From downstairs, there was a cry of frustration from Carrotta.

Carrotta came up from the shower and walked around his bedroom and went back, but he still didn't send her, and she angrily closed the door.

When he went back to the bedroom to sleep at night, he found that Carotta had dried her washed dress on the balcony, Hu Wenkai shook his head and laughed, this is the behavior of the little she-wolf to occupy the sphere of influence.

On Monday morning, Hu Wenkai summoned Ivanov, Wang Xihai, Sun Daming, and Karrota to meet in the office to arrange for the relocation of Industrial Real Estate tomorrow.

Ivanov carefully checked the guest list to determine whether there was time to be there, Sun Daming was in charge of distributing gift certificates and his business cards, Wang Xihai was in charge of the arrivals of the newspapers, and Karotta was in charge of the staff on the opening day. In the evening, all the middle-level leaders of the company participated in the banquet.

In the afternoon, Schroeder took a stack of documents to find Hu Wenkai, and the initial information given by James was that there were more than three hundred households, and many of them were dead loans, and the loans would definitely not be repaid.

Hu Wenkai asked Carlotta to arrange for manpower and financial personnel to evaluate the mortgage, and the opening tomorrow will be directly operated at the company on Scott Road, and instructed Schroeder to check whether the mortgagor has other loans in the bank, and if so, he must not be able to take out loans.

Li Congshan called Hu Wenkai's factory where the engineer encountered a problem, and the accessories could not pass the test for three consecutive parts, and he rushed to Yatian South Road to check the problem by bicycle, and the board carts transporting logs at the factory gate lined up in a long line, and the band saw made a piercing noise inside, and a group of workers were carrying the finished furniture.

Walking into the hammer workshop, several people sat next to the iron in a daze, and when they saw Hu Wenkai coming, they stood up, saying that the iron production process was very simple, but the hardness could not meet the requirements after it was done. Hu Wenkai knocked the iron parts with an iron rod, estimating that the problem was in the raw materials, and asked people to saw a corner and hit it into an iron piece with a steam hammer, and it was very soft with a hand wrench. Iron is too pure and needs to be carbonized to be compliant.

Explain to them how the hardness of iron is produced, find a new hard iron to heat and forge the best I-beam, and go home after a few hours of knowledge of steel hardness in the factory.

As soon as he entered the door, he did not even have time to drink tea, and Ivanov rushed in to say that the marshal had telegraphed back, asking the company to make a list and informing the port warehouse that there was a batch of machines purchased by the Provisional Government from the United States. After reading the telegram, Hu Wenkai told him that he asked the marshal to inform him of the model and quantity of the machines as much as possible, and asked when the marshal's son would arrive in Shanghai.

Ivanov said that Karotta would come over for dinner in a while, and she called at noon to ask Liu's mother that you didn't come back to eat, and knew that you had food here. A look of pity that you have been eaten. Hu Wenkai waved his hand and said that ten girls couldn't eat poorly, and he would come with her or not. Ivanov was left alone in the living room to take a shower by himself.

I changed my clothes and walked out, and the phonograph in the living room played a solo violin piece. Carrota wore an apron and held a spatula in her hand to the hot dish in the restaurant, her eyes glanced at Hu Wenkai and muttered: "The pig doesn't know how to let the girl take a bath first, and the bathtub doesn't know if it's rinsed." ”

"Carrotta, little pig is here to eat again," Hu Wenkai walked up to her, sniffed with his nose and smacked his mouth.

"Little pig smells rancid, and he hasn't taken a bath for a few days?"

"You talk nonsense, I only washed it yesterday," Carrotta's eyes glared at him, and there was no annoyance in her blue eyes, only tenderness.

"Okay, I have a nose problem, and now it's fragrant." The smell on her body is so good, with a faint milky smell. Carrotta smiled happily and lowered her head to serve the dishes to her plate. Ivanov took out a bottle of Moutai in the wine cabinet of the restaurant, opened it, and poured wine into his cup, saying that tonight is worth celebrating, and tomorrow Xingye Real Estate Company will move to a new house. Pour Hu Wenkai another full cup.

Carrotta was dissatisfied: "Some people want to drink and make excuses and make this their home." ”

Ivanov touched his nose and frowned and said: "Beautiful hostess Carrotta, can you give me a glass of wine?" ”。

"Okay, you drink, it's not my wine." Carrota said with a pout.

"Carrotta, go open a bottle of wine and drink," Hu Wenkai said kindly.

"If you let a girl drink by herself, you can't open it for me."

Alas, he kindly let her drink but made trouble for herself, took a goblet and a bottle of French wine and poured her and said, "Don't get drunk yourself." ”

"Got it, it's your wordy"

Karrotta was very obedient until the end and only took a few sips, and Ivanov persuaded him not to drink much.

Ivanov asked Hu why he did not attend tomorrow's ceremony, and Hu Wenkai told him that because he was Chinese, he would cause trouble in his future life if he did not show his face, and that he would attend the banquet in the evening when the newspaper reporter was not there.

Carrotta said that she was so miserable that she couldn't come to work too often to eat in vain. Saying that, he laughed, thought about it and said: "It's all to blame for the location set by Hu Wenkai, you are responsible."

"No, it's up to me, too?"

"You give me a bicycle to ride, I will come to you in the morning and ride to work after breakfast, and I will ride here after work and go back after dinner."

"It doesn't matter if the bicycle rides for you, last time I said that I would pack you to eat on Sunday, how did it become that I eat here every morning and evening?"

"I don't care, I'll eat at your place, can you eat so many dishes alone?"

"Do whatever you want, I'm afraid of you, little girl."

Carrotta looked up proudly and said, "That's right, follow the girl."

Ivanov didn't take them and drank cup by himself, looking a little lonely. Hu Wenkai knew that he remembered his wife and daughter, and raised his glass to drink with him. He told him that he would get rid of his nationality first next year, and that he could no longer use Russian passports, and that Russia would no longer exist.

Ivanov looked up and poured down a glass of wine and said dejectedly: "Boss, where can I go?" I will follow you all my life to have a sense of security."

Carrotta looked at the two of them in amazement.

"Lao Yi, next year the company will set up a company in the United States, and there will be immigration quotas according to the investment quota. Make yourself a U.S. citizen first, and it will be difficult to do things in Shanghai after you have no nationality. ”

"Boss, you won't throw me to the United States, I'm not going to do it"

"Don't worry, just get an American nationality, and in the future, I will eat you. Don't worry, old Yi."

Carrotta interjected: "Hey! Hu Wenkai, you promised Lao Yi that if you eat, he will eat, but what about me? ”

"It's the same for you, as long as you don't leave the company on your own initiative," Hu replied.

Ivanov stretched out his hand and grabbed Hu Wenkai's hand tightly and said, "Boss, I'm relieved to have your words, I'll wait for your words for the past few months." As he spoke, his eyes began to moisten and choke.

"Don't be a boss, we're brothers! Drinking"

Carotta comforted: "Drink Ivanov, Hu Wenkai is not at ease after saying this." He doesn't usually say this, but as long as he says it, he will do it, and others are really good. ”

"Drink! Ivanov was lucky when he met his boss, and he followed the boss all his life and didn't go anywhere, and I went wherever the boss went. Ivanov drank the small wine cup.

"Ivanov will ask Wang Xihai to buy a camera tomorrow, let the guests take a group photo together, and send the washed out photos one by one." Hu Wenkai remembered that later generations would be like this.

"It's too late to buy a camera, ask someone from the photo studio to take it," Ivanov said after thinking about it.

"Then don't drink tonight, Lao Yi go back to bed early, there will be a lot of things tomorrow."

Sending Ivanov away, Hu Wenkai sat on the sofa thinking about Ivanov, a Russian has no parents, wife and children, how can you let him feel safe. It is still necessary to persuade him to find a woman to start a family first and settle down first. Isn't he similar to Ivanov, he doesn't have any relatives in this world, he doesn't want to start a family too early, and he immigrates to the United States if he can't do it after he is busy saving money.

"Wen Kai, what's wrong with you, don't scare me" Carrota pulled him by the arm. Seeing that his eyes were hollow and confused, he sat there motionless, and Carotta was frightened.

"Oh, I'm thinking about Ivanov, it's miserable. You go take a shower first."

"I'm going to clean up the restaurant, you help me get water"

"Dare to love your bathwater since yesterday?"

"Hu Wenkai, you are so smart." Carrotta smiled and went to wash the dishes

"God, please give me a wand," Hu Wenkai muttered.

"What did you give your wand for?"

"Turn the little devil Carrotta into a pig." He pretended to be vicious.

"If you are not religious, God will not pay attention to you." A smug voice came from the restaurant.

He searched for contemporary machine tools in his study, and spent a lot of effort collecting dozens of publications. I have already selected more than a dozen kinds of machine tools from above, and I will wait for a few days for Chen Yongcheng to go*, and those that do not need to be built by hand.

It takes him a week to get out of the sketches in his notebook for each machine, and he has to remove the parts that cannot be achieved by the current technical force to find a way to replace them. According to his vision, a 100-ton hydraulic press was completed first, and then a 5,000-ton hydraulic press was built with a 100-ton hydraulic press and a small machine tool.

In terms of materials, the crucible steelmaking method is used to train special steel on a small scale to solve the bottleneck of material quality. The sand turning workshop has been built, waiting for the crucibles to be shipped from the United States. Busy writing the steps and safety precautions for blowing oxygen and steel from the crucible, by the time he got up to look for a cigarette, Carrotta was already gone.

There were his and her clothes drying on the balcony, and she washed Hu Wenkai's underwear, this girl was completely in love with him, which he already knew but didn't want to break. There is no foundation for fast love, and he wants to get to know her slowly and enjoy the ambiguity with her.
