Director Yin was extremely happy when he saw Sun Mingtao bringing Zhou Ming to the door in person. However, when he looked at Zhou Ming next to him, Director Yin's eyes turned resentful.
"Xiao Zhou, you are my old subordinate. Why haven't you come to see me, an old man, after you have been in the capital for more than half a year?"
"Haha, Director Yin, this is my fault, I always apologize to you." Zhou Ming indeed forgot about Director Yin, so he could only take the initiative to apologize sincerely.
"Haha, Lao Yin, don't worry about these things." Sun Mingtao on the side quickly smiled and explained for Zhou Ming, "Zhou Ming came to the capital to be hanged up by the Jinzhou Factory. His life was very difficult. He has been in trouble some time ago. I’m busy writing my thesis.”
"Well, Xiao Zhou's two papers on polyethylene are indeed very insightful. I didn't expect that the little translator at the time would grow to this point." Director Yin also looked at Zhou Ming with admiration. He clearly knew that Zhou Ming was a famous person. Translation background.
"Old Yin, isn't this a successful paper or a failed paper? Recently, Yan Si from their technical supervision department asked to be signed as the first author on his paper." Sun Mingtao explained with a wry smile.
"Ah? Is Xiao Yan going so far now?"
"Old Yin, if we remember correctly, Yan Si is your apprentice, right?"
"Well, I will handle Xiao Yan's matter, and I will definitely not cause any trouble to Zhou Ming." Of course, Sun Mingtao's meaning was easy to understand, and then Director Yin promised.
"Haha, thank you, Lao Yin."
"Haha, you old guy is being polite to me." Looking at Sun Mingtao who suddenly became polite, Director Yin suddenly showed a dumbfounded expression, "Old Sun, have you been in contact with Sun Qian recently?"
"Ah?" After hearing the name "Sun Qian", Sun Mingtao's expression became obviously ugly, "Old Yin, why are you mentioning her all of a sudden!"
"Old Sun, let me tell you some good news. I met her when I was inspecting the United States some time ago. She is preparing to return to China for development recently!"
"Ah? No way!" Sun Mingtao was also surprised at this time.
"Old Sun, children all make mistakes, and there is nothing that cannot be forgiven." Director Yin, of course, knew about Sun Mingtao's family affairs, and couldn't help but persuade him, "Now that Sun Qian has decided to come back, you can't do anything about the past." Just don’t mention it again.”
"Hey! None of my children have peace of mind. One is working selflessly at BAIC, and the other married to the United States for love." After hearing Director Yin's persuasion, Sun Mingtao said helplessly, "Old Yin, I I really don’t know what evil I did in my previous life.”
"Old Sun, parents can only try to be as open-minded as possible. They can only make their own decisions about their own lives." Director Yin is very open-minded.
Zhou Ming has been listening silently. He is also very curious about Sun Mingtao's family affairs, but he cannot express any opinions. He has never heard Sun Mingtao and his wife say anything about their children before.
Sun Mingtao didn't explain anything to Zhou Ming on the way back, and Zhou Ming just acted like he didn't know anything. Sometimes curiosity is really off-putting to others, but Zhou Ming would not make such a stupid mistake.
…
Zhou Ming's matter was quickly resolved with the help of Sun Mingtao. After all, Director Yin came forward in person. Yan Si was very considerate and never mentioned the first author of the paper again. He just looked at Zhou Ming with eyes that changed. It gets complicated.
"Zhou Ming, it's time to get off work. Come with me!" Sister Rong carried her small bag and came to Zhou Ming's side and said.
"Huh? Where to go?"
"Huh? Zhou Ming, are you regretting it? Of course we made an appointment to go on a blind date!" Sister Rong raised her eyebrows and became unhappy.
"Ah? It's a blind date! Sister Rong, look, I was so busy that I forgot about it." Zhou Ming then remembered the blind date with Sister Rong's niece, "Then let's go now!"
"Well, hurry up! My niece is already waiting in Quanjude."
Sister Rong brought Zhou Ming to Quanjude quickly, and then Sister Rong smiled and walked straight to a young girl. Zhou Ming looked at the girl, who was in her early twenties, and looked as arrogant as a girl from the capital with her nostrils turned upward.
"Aunt, why did you come just now?" The girl looked at Sister Rong complainingly, not taking Zhou Ming seriously at all.
"Haha, we get off work at eleven, and it's not even eleven-twenty yet. It's not too late!"
"Hmph! Hurry up and eat! I'm almost starving."
"Okay! Rongrong, this is the Zhou Ming I told you about."
"Zhou Ming, this is my niece Rongrong."
"Hello, Comrade Rong."
"Well, hello!" Rongrong looked at Zhou Ming reluctantly.
Seeing that her niece was very rude to Zhou Ming, Sister Rong suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and then she quickly called the waiter and said, "Waiter, take your order!"
The waiter soon brought the menu, and Rongrong took the menu without any politeness and started ordering. At this time, Sister Rong and her niece Rongrong were sitting together, and Zhou Ming was sitting alone on the other side.
"A high-quality roast duck, pineapple shrimp balls, Dongbo pork elbow, Cao Liu fish fillets, small meatballs, stir-fried shrimps, and a duck soup."
When Rongrong ordered six dishes and one soup, Sister Rong remembered Zhou Ming, and then looked at Zhou Ming with an apologetic look, "Zhou Ming, is there anything else you want to order?"
"Huh? Comrade Rong's order is quite good, that's all for now!" Zhou Ming said with a somewhat embarrassed smile, feeling that today's blind date was really a bit inexplicable, "If there is not enough food in a while, we will continue to add more."
"Haha, Xiao Zhou, you are right."
"Well, Sister Rong, Comrade Rong, I'm going to go to the toilet first, so I'll excuse you for a moment."
"Well, you go ahead!"
After Zhou Ming left the dining table, Rongrong immediately looked at her aunt with disdain, "Aunt, is this the Zhou Ming you praise so much? There's nothing special about it!"
"Rong Rong, you are only twenty-three years old this year, and you are already a deputy chief engineer at the department level. Recently, I heard that the department is planning to promote you and chief engineer at the deputy department level. This Zhou Ming is a popular candidate."
"Hey! What's so great about being a deputy general? He's nothing in the capital." Rongrong was still very disdainful.
"Rong Rong, the deputy director of the chemical system, is at the level of deputy director in a large chemical factory below, which is already a great thing." Sister Rong couldn't laugh or cry, trying to popularize science knowledge for her niece.
"Auntie, although Zhou Mingchang is a talented person, he still doesn't have a Beijing household registration. I just feel that he is rustic. I'm worried that he might not even be able to eat roast duck."
"Hey! Rongrong, if you continue to look down on Zhou Ming's good conditions, there will be nothing I can do, aunt." Sister Rong also shook her head helplessly.
Soon Zhou Ming returned to the table again, and the waiters had already started serving the dishes. Fortunately, the waiters in Quanjude did not have those bad habits of state-owned restaurants, and Zhou Ming did not need to worry about them suddenly getting angry.
Rongrong was originally waiting to see Zhou Ming's jokes, but Zhou Ming soon disappointed her. She saw Zhou Ming eating roast duck skillfully, but he looked more like a Beijing native than the two "old Beijing" people.
"Zhou Ming, did you often come here to eat roast duck?" Sister Rong looked at Zhou Ming with a smile.
"Haha, I've been here before." Zhou Ming didn't explain much.
"Zhou Ming, what do your parents do?" At this time, Rongrong also became interested in Zhou Ming.
"Huh?" Zhou Ming was suddenly stunned by Rong Rong's question, and then he recalled the identity assigned to him by the system, "Comrade Rong, my parents are both overseas Chinese in Germany, so my German is particularly outstanding. I used to be a member of the Jinzhou Factory German translation."
"Ah? Overseas relations?" Sister Rong and her niece Rongrong were both shocked.
"Haha, I am a regular college student who graduated from Shanghai Language and Culture University. There is no problem with the political review." Seeing the surprised aunt and nephew, Zhou Ming realized what they were worried about.
After hearing Zhou Ming's explanation, Sister Rong and Rong Rong relaxed. If Zhou Ming really had any problems, he would not be able to work in the Jinzhou Factory or even the current chemical headquarters.
"Zhou Ming, I heard that your chemical industry headquarters will recently promote a chief engineer at the deputy department level. Do you have a chance of being promoted? After being promoted, can you be assigned a separate room?" I heard that Zhou Ming's parents are overseas, " "Proud Girl" Rongrong became even more interested.
"I don't know! There are still a lot of technical talents at the Chemical Industry Headquarters, and my chance of being promoted is very small." Regarding the question raised by Rongrong, Zhou Ming said without any concealment, "And I don't plan to stay at the Beijing Chemical Industry Headquarters for long. I still like the working atmosphere in the chemical factory down there.”
"Ah? What's so good about chemical plants." Her aunt works in the chemical industry, and Rongrong has always been averse to chemical plants. "There's a stinky smell everywhere, and the pollution is very serious. It's dangerous for pregnant women to stay there." "
"Haha, I just like this kind of fulfilling working atmosphere. It feels like the whole person is transparent."
"Huh! There's something really wrong. The conditions here in the capital are so good." Rongrong muttered in a low voice at this time, but Zhou Ming and Sister Rong could hear it clearly.
It was obvious that this was a failed blind date. Zhou Ming looked down on the arrogant Miss Rong, and Miss Rong also looked down on the "silly" Zhou Ming. Then the two parties separated after the meal.
When Zhou Ming returned to Sun's house in the evening, he happened to see that Sun Mingtao's family had just prepared a meal. Zhou Ming said to Sun Mingtao and his wife in surprise, "Great, I'm so hungry today."
"Ah? Zhou Ming, you're not too busy to have lunch again, are you?"
"No! Sister Rong from the office took me out on a blind date with her niece at noon. We had a roast duck dinner from Quanjude, but it made me extremely bored." Zhou Ming explained to the two of them with a wry smile.
"Ah? Are you going on a blind date?" Sun Mingtao and his wife looked over curiously.
"Yes! Sister Rong is my colleague in the Technical Supervision Department. She insisted on taking me on a blind date a few days ago. I refused several times to avoid offending her." Seeing how curious Sun Mingtao and his wife were, Zhou Ming explained with a wry smile. , "I followed her to Quanjude today. After having lunch, I felt like I was sitting on pins and needles, like a light on my back."
"Haha, it's just a blind date. It's not as exaggerated as you said!" Sun Mingtao was amused by Zhou Ming's wry smile, especially the two idioms used, which made Sun Mingtao and his wife laugh.
"Uncle, aunt, I'm not exaggerating. You haven't seen that girl. She has arrogance and aloofness written all over her face. She is really not someone I want to befriend."
"Haha, almost all the girls here in the capital have this kind of temper. If you really choose a girl from the capital, there is nothing strange about this kind of thing."
"Hey! I would rather not get married than suffer from this "princess disease"."
"Princess disease? Haha, Zhou Ming, you described it so aptly."
…
In Jinzhou, since Zhou Ming left in style, Director Cheng returned to his shrewd state after being confused at the beginning, and then started looking for a son-in-law again.
But it seems that Director Cheng is still eyeing Song Yunhui. After all, after Zhou Ming was kicked out of Jinzhou Chemical General Plant, Song Yunhui successfully replaced Zhou Ming's position, and still became Secretary Shui's direct descendant.
"Song Yunhui."
"Director Cheng, are you okay?" Song Yunhui looked up and saw Director Cheng, and said with a smile.
"Haha, I see that you are too tired in the new workshop these two days, and I want to invite you to my house for dinner."
"Ah? Thank you Director Cheng for your kindness, but I really can't get away now. I will definitely come and visit if I have the opportunity another day." After hearing Director Cheng's invitation, Song Yunhui quickly declined with a smile.
"Huh? Okay! Then it won't hinder your work." Song Yunhui refused so bluntly, which made the sensitive Director Cheng very uncomfortable, and his face immediately turned ugly.
"Haha, goodbye, Director Cheng."
Director Cheng left the new workshop angrily, and then went directly back to Cheng's house in the residential area. As soon as he entered, he sat on the sofa in the living room with a stinking look on his face.
"Old Cheng, what's wrong with you? Who made you unhappy again?" Cheng Kaiyan's mother looked at Director Cheng with a puzzled look.
"Song Yunhui! I kindly invited him to come to our house for dinner, but he refused directly." Director Cheng explained through gritted teeth.
"Hey! Song Yunhui has such a good relationship with Zhou Ming, do you think he will have contact with our Cheng family?" Cheng Kaiyan's mother shook her head with a wry smile.
"Hmph! It's all this damn Zhou Ming. I heard that he is very popular at the Chemical Industry Headquarters. He recently published two papers in "Chemical Industry of China". A small translator is really awesome."
"Ah? How can Zhou Ming enjoy this in the capital?" Cheng Kaiyan's mother was also surprised.
"Well, now Secretary Shui also has some regrets about kicking Zhou Ming away."
"Old Cheng, in fact, Kaiyan in our family still thinks about Zhou Ming. How about letting Kaiyan get back together with Zhou Ming?" Cheng Kaiyan's mother thought about it and suggested to Factory Director Cheng.
"What? Impossible!" Director Cheng directly rejected Cheng Kaiyan's mother's proposal without even thinking about it. "In that case, our entire Cheng family will be inferior to Zhou Ming. This is something I simply cannot tolerate."
"However, I see Kaiyan thinking about Zhou Ming every day. As a mother, I feel uncomfortable!"
"Hmph! What do children know?" Director Cheng said nonchalantly. He only had interests in his eyes and would not really care about Cheng Kaiyan's feelings. "When Kaiyan meets someone better, she won't care about her anymore." Think carefully."
