Chapter 3157
Only the child can suffer more.
Chapter 3157 The only option is to make things harder for the child.
puff~
Liu Lixue laughed out loud, and Lou Xiao'e also lowered her head and smiled.
"What are you laughing at? Hurry up and see what else you need to do."
"If there's nothing else, I'm going to the research institute. I'm not doing anything productive all day."
Yang Xiaotao said irritably, Liu Lixue turned her head away, but Lou Xiao'e stood up and said, "There's something. Old Zhao from the Fourth Ministry of Machinery Industry called and said that the paging station on the Japanese island has been built, and the rest can be built by their own people."
"We'll ask when our people are coming back, and then we'll go together."
Yang Xiaotao glanced at the calendar and pondered for a moment.
Since the World Cup ended in West Germany, Liu Yongqiang has led the team back to China.
Of course, if nothing goes wrong, this World Cup can be considered a perfect World Cup.
Unfortunately, what didn't happen in his previous life, changed Albert's fate in this life because of Yang Xiaotao's appearance, and in turn affected the situation in Persia.
And so, that's how it happened.
Leaving aside the consequences of this incident, on the positive side, after experiencing the 'benefits' of pagers, West Germany immediately began building a pager network throughout the country.
The readily available technology, coupled with the prior training from the technical team and the increasing proficiency in computer use, made this work proceed very smoothly.
As a result, the company received a number of pager orders.
This allowed the Ninth Ministry and its partners, the Third and Fourth Ministries of Machinery Industry, to make a fortune.
This also makes the work of the High-tech Industry Research Office truly live up to its name.
As for the people currently on the Japanese island, Liu Yongqiang will naturally lead the team there.
However, there weren't many people going this time; it was just some technical staff.
As for the trainees sent from Japan and South Goguryeo, they returned home last month.
It is worth mentioning that, after being sent to work in West Germany, a considerable number of people have become accustomed to this kind of "business trip" life.
Especially when traveling for work, not only do you receive subsidies, but local staff also provide accommodation and meals, making life much better than back home.
Yang Xiaotao had no other choice in this regard.
Someone has to go out, right?
"Then let's come back together."
After a moment of contemplation, Yang Xiaotao made a decision.
It's been over two months already, so it should be finished by now.
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Lou Xiao'e immediately nodded and wrote it down. Then she added, "Old Qin from the Logistics Department inquired about the radar situation yesterday and said that the research on the early warning aircraft is progressing rapidly and that a finished product will be available soon."
"Oh, right, there's also the heavy helicopter project. The model is finished, and it'll be test-flying in a couple of days. They're asking if you'd like to come and take a look."
Yang Xiaotao thought for a moment and said, "Call and ask the Jinling Institute of 14 about their progress."
"As for the heavy helicopter, I won't be going."
"Anyway, two units will be delivered once they are produced."
Lou Xiao'e nodded again after listening, and then said, "Also, Director Li from the Northwest called last night and said that you should call him back when you have time."
"Li Chengjun?"
"Correct!"
"Didn't you say what the matter was?"
"No."
"Okay, I see."
Yang Xiaotao guessed that the other party had something to say, but it shouldn't be urgent, otherwise they would have called long ago.
Just as Lou Xiao'e sat down, there was a knock on the door.
Liu Lixue got up and opened the door, only to see Li Hongfeng standing at the door.
"Secretary Li."
Liu Lixue narrowed her big eyes, a smile on her face, and then turned to look at Yang Xiaotao.
As Yang Xiaotao watched Li Hongfeng walk in, he smiled and quickly got up to go over to him, saying, "Old Li, come in and sit down."
However, last time Yang Xiaotao acted recklessly in front of Old Chen and failed to explain things clearly, Li Hongfeng ended up running into Old Chen's line of fire.
That barrage of criticism made Old Li question his very existence.
Why did I get scolded when everything was fine?
The problem is that there's absolutely no reason or logic to it.
It took a week for me to recover.
Then, I finally understood the whole story.
After that, Yang Xiaotao started avoiding Lao Li, genuinely afraid of being beaten up by the old comrade.
The story then spread throughout the Nine Departments. Yang Youning, Chen Gong, and the old Taoist priest, those unscrupulous guys, were just looking for a good show and were practically ready to sit back and watch.
Even when Yang Xiaotao asked for a reconciliation, Lao Hong blurted out, "No zuo no die."
Now, Yang Xiaotao was at a loss.
We can only postpone it.
Hopefully, time will heal all wounds.
Unexpectedly, Comrade Li actually came to visit us today.
Seeing Yang Xiaotao's smiling face, Li Hongfeng's expression remained unchanged, but he felt bitter inside.
He was naturally aware of the rumors circulating about the nine departments during this period.
But I didn't take it to heart. After all, how could a revolutionary not suffer grievances?
To his surprise, Yang Xiaotao actually took it seriously.
They're deliberately avoiding him; that's not good for the work of the Ninth Department.
Since he had something to do today, Li Hongfeng felt he should take the initiative and not let the relationship remain deadlocked.
So I came over to take a look.
Just looking at Yang Xiaotao's shameless face, I suddenly felt an urge to go back.
Taking a deep breath, Li Hongfeng forced himself to sit down, then watched Yang Xiaotao pour water and make tea, while even Liu Lixue secretly smiled.
He shook his head inwardly; this guy was still too young.
Young man, you're acting impulsively.
But then again, would a young person be one who doesn't act impulsively?
He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then composed himself before saying, "Mr. Yang!"
"Old Li, you speak, I'm listening."
Yang Xiaotao was exceptionally attentive and enthusiastic, just like a primary school student waiting for a teacher's home visit.
Upon hearing this, Li Hongfeng almost rolled his eyes. Didn't he know what kind of person this guy was?
This is another performance.
He put down his teacup and said, "You know that the Changyan Railway needs some funding, right?"
"Changyan Railway?"
Yang Xiaotao patted his head, then suddenly realized, "Oh, the Changyan Railway."
"Hey, I haven't been keeping an eye on it lately, but the railway is about to open, isn't it?"
"I spoke with Shi Yi on the phone last time, and he said the road would be open soon. What's going on this time?" Yang Xiaotao said as he poured himself a glass of water, but he was curious. The road was almost open, so why did they still need financial support?
That's incredibly impolite.
When Li Hongfeng heard Yang Xiaotao say this, he knew that the other party was unaware of the recent situation.
"The railway is going to open, but the later stages of construction are not yet complete."
Li Hongfeng continued speaking, but Yang Xiaotao sensed something was amiss. "Old Li, shouldn't the subsequent construction be the railway's job?"
Li Hongfeng shook his head awkwardly, because he was the one who had promised that the railway would help.
But who would have thought that when the time came, they would be broke?
"They're having some difficulties there."
"difficulty?"
Yang Xiaotao looked suspicious. "They don't want to take on this mess, do they?"
Li Hongfeng didn't say anything, he just picked up his teacup and drank.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao said nothing more.
Because he had heard in his previous life that railways were not a tool for making money at all.
Basically, it's public infrastructure development, designed to serve the people.
The government has been continuously investing in this area.
Of course, it also depends on whether there is money to invest.
The opening of this long-distance railway is equivalent to adding another railway line, but it also adds a burden.
"Is it appropriate for us to pay?"
After a long silence, Yang Xiaotao finally spoke up and asked.
Li Hongfeng then put down his teacup. "That's why I came to see you."
"We'd better go and discuss this with the leadership."
"Even if it's just helping out, it's best not to do it in the name of the Ninth Department!"
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "I reckon if we bring this up, the leaders will most likely agree."
"Should we go?"
"Let's eat first, then we'll go."
In the end, Yang Xiaotao still felt it was better to go.
At worst, I'll just get a scolding from Old Chen.
"Okay, let's eat first."
Li Hongfeng got up, and Yang Xiaotao followed him out.
Then the people at headquarters saw Yang Xiaotao and Li Hongfeng walking toward the cafeteria, chatting and laughing.
This rendered the little stool that had been prepared for so long useless.
However, this scene still brought a sigh of relief to many people.
This at least shows that the internal relationships are still very close.
In the afternoon, the two of them took a car together to Mr. Chen's office.
In the office, Secretary Guo warmly poured tea for the two of them, and Old Chen's smile never stopped after they came in.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao could only say, "A prime minister's belly can hold a boat."
The two then found out the reason.
"Boss, does this mean our pharmaceutical factory will be expanded again?"
Li Hongfeng spoke with delight, his eyes brimming with excitement.
This adds another contribution to the nine departments.
On the contrary, Yang Xiaotao, standing to the side, had a smile on his face, but his heart was bitter.
How effective this special medicine is, others may not know, but he doesn't know either.
If it's really that amazing, why wasn't it well-known before?
It's because Xiaowei added some "ingredients" to it, mixing in the energy she herself refined, that it had a "powerful" effect.
If it were just a regular ginseng decoction, it wouldn't have this effect at all.
But Xiaowei's energy isn't limitless either.
Especially since there's only Xiao Wei right now, if we open a branch factory, Xiao Wei definitely won't be able to take care of everything.
We can't possibly split Xiaowei in two.
Yang Xiaotao couldn't bear to part with it.
Moreover, Yang Xiaotao was always worried that if he were gone one day, and Xiaowei was gone too, wouldn't the Ginseng Four-Reversal Soup be rendered useless?
What will we do then?
However, Yang Xiaotao quickly dismissed his worries.
all will be good.
If something like that really happens, and I'm already gone, what's the point of caring?
"Let's leave it at that for now. I believe the pharmaceutical company should be able to meet the demand."
Old Chen did not agree to Li Hongfeng's suggestion, but instead looked at Yang Xiaotao.
Upon seeing this, Yang Xiaotao immediately nodded, "The leader is right. There are no problems at the pharmaceutical factory for the time being. This output is still much less than that of Imperial Jade Liquor."
"The only thing to worry about is the packaging."
At this point, Yang Xiaotao suggested, "If the small gourds are in short supply, I suggest using glass bottles. This would save costs and improve efficiency."
No sooner had Yang Xiaotao finished speaking than Old Chen shook his head and refused, saying, "This won't do."
"The packaging of the small gourd is excellent, and people abroad recognize it."
"Changing the packaging will have a negative impact!"
Yang Xiaotao shrugged. "Then we'll have to process more small gourds."
Old Chen nodded, "That's easy to say. What we have in abundance right now is carpentry."
Upon hearing this, Li Hongfeng and Yang Xiaotao exchanged a glance and then nodded in agreement.
Then, Yang Xiaotao explained the purpose of his visit.
After listening, Old Chen's expression first turned serious, then helpless, and finally he looked at the two of them and said, "You two should not get involved in this matter."
"We'll handle the rest."
Both of them were relieved to hear what Old Chen said, glad that he hadn't agreed to it privately.
Yang Xiaotao then reported on the West-East Gas Pipeline project and the pager business. Old Chen knew a bit about these things, but hearing Yang Xiaotao talk about them still felt new to him.
"Be careful around the Japanese islands, those guys are no pushovers."
"They might be plotting something bad."
Old Chen reminded him, and Yang Xiaotao immediately nodded, "Don't worry, I've taken precautions too."
Upon hearing this, Old Chen laughed.
After chatting for a while, Yang Xiaotao and Li Hongfeng got up to say goodbye.
In the car, Li Hongfeng looked very happy and kept talking about work.
Yang Xiaotao, however, was dealing with the situation while communicating with Xiaowei in his mind.
Now that things have come to this, we can only let the child suffer a bit.
