After many considerations, Wang Xiao finally gave up the idea of making lipstick.
Research time and cost come second, mainly because the population of Lan County is so large, and more than half of them are farmers. If we rush to set up a new factory, there will be no one to recruit workers. If we recruit all farmers into the factory, there will be so much cultivated land. what to do?
Wang Xiao reluctantly gave up this rapidly rising business.
Lin Nianhe once again made sure that Wang Xiao had no such plans and then opened the book. He only added: "If you don't do it, I will do it myself in two years."
"ah?"
Wang Xiao felt that Lin Nianhe was just joking. What was the use of doing it herself? I made it but couldn’t sell it.
Little did he know that cosmetics was one of the industries Lin Nianhe was most familiar with, and she really planned to explore this field in the near future.
If Wang Xiao had persisted just a little longer, Lin Nianhe would have given up to him. After all, she had many paths to take, and this was the only one she could take.
The train they took was a special train for the Spring Festival. The sleeper car was connected to the cargo compartment, which was used to load samples for heavy industry factories. The train went all the way south, only stopping at stations where exhibitor groups were boarding, and it was faster than ordinary trains.
When they arrived at Xishi Station, Director Sun got on the bus with a few people from the steel factory. He saw Lin Nianhe waving to him while he was still on the platform. Not long after getting on the bus, he took an old man with gray hair on his temples. The master came to see Lin Nianhe.
"Xiao Lin, long time no see!"
"Uncle Sun, hello, this is our leader of Lan County, Mr. Wang Xiao."
"Hello, hello, Mr. Wang has great vision and knows people well!"
"You have given me the award. The Xishi Iron and Steel Plant is the one with the most praise..."
After chatting for a while, Director Sun said to Lin Nianhe: "Xiao Lin, we are in the fourth carriage. This is the chief engineer of our factory. If you need anything, just come to us."
"Thank you very much. I will ask for help later."
Lin Nianhe smiled brightly and had to send Director Sun and others out of the carriage before turning back.
Life on the train is always a bit boring, and even Niu Wa quickly went from excitement to boredom.
The little guy was lying on the table, blinking weakly.
Lin Nianhe just happened to finish reading a book. After heaving a sigh of relief, he saw Niu Wa's bored look and poked his face: "Do you want to compete?"
Niu Wa suddenly became interested: "Okay!"
Lin Nianhe casually took out two pieces of paper and handed them to Wang Xiao: "Uncle Wang, please give me the next question. Just multiply and divide three or four digits."
Wang Xiao was stunned: "What are you doing?"
"Game!"
Wang Xiao didn't know what was going on, so he had to write down a series of numbers on the paper.
Soon, there were twenty questions on each sheet of paper.
Lin Nianhe took off his watch and put it on the table, raising his eyebrows at Niu Wa: "Ten minutes?"
"Five minutes will do." Niu Wa was confident.
"Okay, compare the accuracy."
"Um!"
Game start.
Lin Nianhe and Niu Wa each had a pencil and wrote down the answers while calculating silently in their minds.
Wen Lan was dumbfounded: "What kind of free time do you have to do the questions?"
Wang Shumei clicked her tongue: "Are these two people really good at calculating?"
Wang Xiao: "Xiao Lin is so awesome! Niu Wa is awesome too!"
Five minutes later, the two abacus stopped writing.
They both turned to look at the three people at the same time, and then exchanged test paper corrections with each other in a tacit understanding.
Because Wang Xiao's questions were all written by hand and the two papers were different, they had to do mental math again when correcting each other.
Another five minutes.
Lin Nianhe was the first to speak: "Niu Wa is so awesome, he did everything right."
Niu Wa also nodded repeatedly: "Sister Hehe did everything right too!"
In the first game, it was a draw.
The two of them drank two mouthfuls of water and started the second, third, and fourth games...
At the end of the fifth round, Wang Xiao finally finished calculating their first round papers and sighed: "You two really did it right. How did you calculate it?"
Lin Nianhe: "..."
Niuwa: "..."
Wang Shumei and Wen Lan have long been used to it. Wang Shumei saw Wang Xiao's surprised face and explained: "Uncle Wang, please ignore her. When we were reviewing at the educated youth point, she passed by and took one look at the question and told the answer directly."
Wang Xiao: "...!"
Wen Lan also nodded: "A few days ago, I saw fifth grade students asking Niu Wa questions."
Wang Xiao: "...!"
"You two shared Accountant Zhao's plan?"
Lin Nianhe: "..."
Niuwa: "..."
Seeing Wang Xiao like this, Lin Nianhe could only say: "Doing more math problems will help you hone your digital acumen. We are just playing like this when we have nothing to do. It's not that exaggerated."
"This is what your family does for free time? Then what do you do when you are doing serious business?"
Wang Xiao felt that his understanding of the world was shaky.
Lin Nianhe glanced at Niu Wa and said to Wang Xiao in silence for a moment: "Niu Wa just learned to play chess recently. If you want to play, you can do this too."
Wang Xiao suddenly became energetic: "Come! Let me try!"
As for chess, he started playing it when he was a teenager. Most chess games get better as he gets older. He is very confident!
Lin Nianhe took out the chess set from the small box he carried with him and gave it to them, and changed places with Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao looked at Niu Wa's soft little face, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Don't worry, I'll let you go!"
Niu Wa smiled, innocent and harmless: "Okay, thank you, uncle."
In the first game, Wang Xiao lost.
Wang Xiao: "Hahaha, the little guy is pretty good. I won't let you go in the next round!"
In the second game, Wang Xiao lost.
Wang Xiao: "Well, you were careless, you were careless, come again!"
The third game, the fourth game, the fifth game... Wang Xiao never won.
Wang Xiao: "Xiao Lin, tell me the truth, when did this little kid start playing chess?"
Lin Nianhe had already picked up the second book. After hearing this, he calculated it carefully and replied: "Three days before departure, a fourth-grade student brought the chess from home to school. Niu Wa learned it that day. "
Wang Xiao shook his head violently: "I don't believe it! This is impossible!"
Lin Nianhe whispered to Niu Wa, "Why don't you give in to Uncle Wang a little bit? Let's respect the elders and love the younger."
Niu Wa pursed her lips and said, "But I just want to give in to Sister Hehe. This is your privilege."
Lin Nianhe's heart instantly softened into a marshmallow. She frowned and looked at Wang Xiao: "Uncle Wang, don't be unable to lose at your age!"
Wang Xiao's lips trembled: "Xiao Lin, you can coax the child, but you can't care about your uncle's life or death!"
"Look at what you said, you've only lost five games, why are you still embarrassed? Keep going, you'll get used to it if you lose too much." Lin Nianhe rearranged the chess game for them very considerately.
Wang Xiao: "..."
Wang Xiao doesn't want to get used to it, not at all.
Adhering to the principle of not letting himself get hurt, he took a deep look at Niu Wa, got up and went out.
After a while, he brought in the factory directors and deputy directors who had looked down on him.
"Niu Wa, come on, let's show them what it means to be a hero!"
