60s researcher

Chapter 106

"Wait a minute, I'll be right back." Xu Yan ran out quickly, and when he came back, he had recovered to a clean state.

When he went out, Lu Jian had already moved the chair, put the lunch box on the table, and opened the lid.

"Let's eat first!" Seeing him coming, Lu Jian handed him a pair of chopsticks.

"Why did you bring it here?" Xu Yan took the chopsticks and sat down, looking at Lu Jian curiously.

"I just went to the cafeteria to eat, and I met someone from your project team, so I brought yours over by the way." Seeing him sit down, Lu Jian also picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.

Because they were all hungry, the two lunch boxes were all cleaned up in a short while, especially Lu Jian, he was afraid that there would not be enough food at noon, so he ate a bowl of rice.

"Hey, didn't you go to see Professor Xie today? Why are you eating now?" Xu Yan put down his chopsticks and leaned back in the chair with his legs stretched out, looking very leisurely.

"Teacher has gone to X province." Lu Jian followed his example and relaxed his body.

"Why did you go so far suddenly?" The traffic in this era is particularly inconvenient, and going out is pure suffering. Professor Xie is so old that he is not very suitable for business trips.

"Teacher, his sister is married in Province X, and has not been in contact with her. Today, his sister's son came suddenly, and they went back to Province X together to visit relatives. The return date is uncertain."

"That's it." Xu Yan nodded and didn't speak anymore. The laboratory was very quiet for a while.

"Today, Mr. Ye brought a young man here. He said he was a new researcher and he was also from Province X. He wouldn't have anything to do with Professor Xie, would he?" Xu Yan suddenly thought that the young man who came to the laboratory this afternoon was also from Province X. Yes, I came here today, what a coincidence.

"You really know how to guess, Zuo Liqun who came here today is the grandson of my teacher's sister." Lu Jian gave Xu Yan a complimenting look.

"..." Xu Yan didn't expect to be hit by what he said, he just said it casually.

"After all, he is my teacher's grandchild, so you should help me to watch over it in the future." Xu Yan is a steady person, reliable in his work, so Lu Jian talked to him, hoping that he can help watch over.

"Understood, what's the relationship between us." Xu Yan agreed directly, and it's not a big deal.

"By the way, Zhao Lei has already gone to work in the agricultural machinery factory?" Lu Jian was very busy these days and didn't care about other things.

"It's been three days." Xu Yan sat up straight and nodded.

"Is the situation okay? Will it be very busy now?" "It's good, there are plenty of people there, and he is relatively free. He got off work on time for the first two days, and he will come over to help me at night, but I don’t know what’s going on tonight? I haven’t come here yet.” Speaking of which, Xu Yan glanced outside the door a few times, his face full of doubts, Zhao Lei was still saying last night that he would come over as usual tonight, why is he not here now? not coming.

"Should something happen suddenly today?" Lu Jian guessed casually, it's normal for them to have something to do temporarily in this job.

"probably."

"Is there something else you want to talk about?" Xu Yan felt a little strange. Lu Jian is not the kind of person who likes to chat with people, and usually talks about work.

"I really have something to say." Although Lu Jian came here on a temporary basis, he still has something to tell him.

"Let's talk." Xu Yan leaned closer to Lu Jian, as if listening attentively.

"Our technical department now has nearly 50 people, and the number of people who will come soon will be close to 70, which is not too small." Speaking of this, Lu Jian stopped, feeling very emotional.

"Haha, that's quite a lot. It's really hard to imagine that there were only three of us at the beginning, so much more in one year." Hearing this, Xu Yan was also very moved, thinking that he and Lu Jian Zhao Lei came here together When I was young, I was really worried and scared, and even my partner felt that his future was in jeopardy. Unexpectedly, in more than a year, he already had his own house and could lead a project by himself.

"Before, due to the tight manpower, our management here was actually very chaotic. After this group of people arrives, I want to divide everyone into three groups and manage them separately." Lu Jian has been thinking about this problem for a while. , according to the current development, there will be more and more people in their technical department, so they have to make plans early.

"That's good, I support your decision." Xu Yan had an expression that I would support whatever you said.

"Ahem, my plan is that Ye Gong and I will lead a group separately, and you will be in charge of the other group, what do you think?" Knowing that Xu Yan didn't understand what he meant, Lu Jian explained directly.

"Me?" Xu Yan looked terrified, and he saw in his eyes that you were joking, right?

"It's you, otherwise who else is there? Zhao Lei or Jian Mingyuan, which one do you think is suitable?" Lu Jian also sat up straight. This is one of three choices, and it's not clear which one to choose.

"Uh..." Xu Yan thought for a while, let's forget about those two first.

"Didn't Ye Gong say that among the next group of people, how many are mid-level researchers? Can you choose among them? My qualifications are too junior. If someone thinks that I am because of my good relationship with you..." Xu Yan Before he finished the rest of the sentence, he still felt that he was not suitable to be in charge of a group, and the most important thing was that it would affect Lu Jian.

"Xu Yan, we have been working together for so long. I made this decision based on what I know about you." Knowing his concerns, Lu Jian stood up and patted him on the shoulder.

"But others don't necessarily think so." Xu Yan still hesitated.

"Xu Yan, is it important what other people think? As long as we continue to produce results, they will have nothing to say, just like I became the head of the technical department at such a young age, no, no one said anything. The important thing is me Trust you, you'll do well."

"Okay, I'll do it." Hearing Lu Jian's thoughtless words, Xu Yan was almost moved to tears. This was to make him completely confused, why did he suddenly become so good at speaking.

"That's right, tomorrow I will discuss with Ye Shang and arrange the list of personnel. You, sit down and prepare mentally." Lu Jian finally made a joke, in exchange for Xu Yan's rolling eyes.

"..."

The two talked about the harvester project again.

"Xu Yan, I'm here." Suddenly Zhao Lei's voice came from outside, and he ran in quickly, talking while running.

"You don't even know what I went through today? Let me tell you..." He didn't find Lu Jian until he got inside.

"Lu Jian, why are you here?" Seeing Lu Jian appearing here, Zhao Lei felt very strange.

"Why can't I be here?" Lu Jian had a rare moment to get emotional, pretending to be unhappy.

"Didn't I hear that you went to Professor Xie's place for a break today, but you came back just now." Zhao Lei scratched his head, feeling that he had made a fuss just now.

"I came back when I have something to do. What's the matter with you today?" Lu Jian pulled a chair for him to sit down.

"That's right, why did you come back so late today? And why do you smell so much of alcohol?" Xu Yan was also quite curious, and both of them seemed to be listening to him attentively.

"Ahem, tonight the director of the agricultural machinery factory insisted on inviting me to a state-owned restaurant for dinner. I had no choice but to go. As a result, several people were waiting there, and the wine was poured before the food was served. I saw, Good guy, it's all high-grade baijiu, which almost scared me to death." Zhao Lei spoke as if he was giving a lecture, and even made gestures.

"Then why did you come back? It doesn't look like you've been drinking too much?" Xu Yan looked carefully at Zhao Lei, and found that although his body was full of alcohol, his eyes were clear and his speech and movements were very neat. Had a drink.

"You don't know that. My uncle is very good at brewing wine. I grew up soaking in wine jars. I really don't pay attention to such a little wine." Zhao Lei looked at them, his face was full of me, didn't he? Very good.

"Then how do you say that you were almost scared to death? And why didn't I know you were so good at drinking?" Xu Yan and Zhao Lei had known each other for several years, but they didn't know that he was so good at drinking.

"That's not the attitude of the director of the agricultural machinery factory, they are too scary, as if they will never give up until they knock me down."

"..." Lu Jian and Xu Yan were silent.

"But I haven't had a drink for a long time. Now that food is in short supply, my uncle hasn't made wine for many years." Speaking of this, Zhao Lei still licked his lips in aftertaste, looking very nostalgic.

"Why do they want to drink you all of a sudden?" Lu Jian was more concerned about this matter and felt a little strange.

"I wanted to find out the news. I drank two glasses of wine and started pretending to be asleep. Good guy, those guys actually started to interrogate me in turn. One asked me when the harvester prototype would come out, and the other asked me where the harvester was going to do experiments. "

"There are some people who even know that we are going to make a seeder and a thresher, and have been asking when the project will start. I deliberately told about the agricultural machinery project, but all of them changed their faces. It's ugly. "Here, Zhao Lei laughed.Zhao Lei didn't think it was wrong for the agricultural machinery factory to inquire about information. After all, everything is made to serve the people.However, these people were too anxious. Someone actually asked them to stop the electrical project of the electrical appliance factory first, and start with two projects of agricultural machinery.Although that person was immediately held down by others, Zhao Lei could also see the faint expectation in their hearts, and felt a little uncomfortable at that time.

"Did someone say something?" Xu Yan saw that there was something wrong with his expression, so he knew that there was something else going on.

"It's nothing, just another big fool who wants us to help them finish the project first."

"This is normal." Lu Jian immediately understood what happened.

"Agriculture is fundamental, and it's normal for them to be anxious." That is to say, air conditioners can earn a lot of foreign exchange now, otherwise those people will think that they study air conditioners just for enjoyment.
