Chapter 188 Liu Qiwen Calls
"Build! Of course we have to build!
First build a batch of engineering prototypes.
Then I will redraw the picture according to the data standard of the beam."
After thinking for a long time, Fang decided to build it.
It is already May and the factory has not been in full operation for half a year.
If we don't get the workers moving, the wind will start to blow soon.
Once the wind blows, it will be extremely difficult to organize the workers to start work.
Others may not know how destructive this storm is, but how could Fang Xiang not know?
Tomorrow is the May Fourth Youth Day, and the enlarged meeting will also begin.
When the meeting is over, Storm will officially set sail.
If you keep dragging it out...
"Okay, then when is the birth scheduled?"
When Cao Tianwei heard that production could be arranged, excitement immediately appeared on his face.
“The sooner the better, let’s follow the previous standards first.
We will build as many beams as are delivered.
Let them handle it themselves first. If there are any problems, handle them if you can, otherwise leave it alone for now.
Regarding heavy trucks, please provide me with your first-hand data as soon as possible.
I will first draw out part of the previously discarded drawing.
Once I get the data, I will change the drawings according to the data and then arrange a new order.
Let’s make changes and test them step by step.”
Fang Xiang lowered his head and thought for a while, and felt that it would be better to take small steps and make quick progress.
Build, test and modify at the same time.
"Okay, let's start tomorrow."
Cao Tianwei nodded. He had no objection to Fang Xiang's arrangement.
"Don't worry about tomorrow, start today!"
Fang Xiang shook his head.
"Today? In such a hurry?"
Cao Tianwei was stunned for a moment.
“I’ve been idle for half a year, if I don’t pick up the pace,
The workers have become accustomed to laziness, and when laziness becomes a habit, it is difficult to change.
The great learning stops immediately and the great production begins. "
Fang Xiang said this while pointing at the drawing with his hand.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Cao Tianwei didn't argue, he just got up and left the office.
"Lao Ma, I have already arranged the technical matters.
The factory's targets have also been issued.
This depends on your ability to mobilize.”
When he arrived at Director Ma's office, Fang Xiang recounted what he had just discussed with Cao Tianwei.
"Okay! I'll start the meeting right away.
I have waited too long for this day!"
Director Ma, like Cao Tianwei, could no longer suppress the excitement on his face.
"You're in such a hurry to arrange this, what's your wedding date?"
After saying that, Director Ma did not leave in a hurry, but asked Fang about his wish to get married.
It is no longer a secret that Fang wants to get married, and basically everyone knows what should be known.
"Don't delay. Things at the factory are more important."
Fang Xiang waved his hand and smiled.
"Okay, I'll go to the meeting now."
Director Ma nodded, without further ado, he stood up and called his secretary.
"Ring ring ring..."
Just when Fang Xiang returned to the office, picked up the blueprint and was about to draw a simple diagram, the phone rang.
"Hello, is that Xiao Fang? It's me."
Liu Qiwen's voice came from the phone.
"Brother, why are you rushing me so much?"
When Fang Xiang heard that the call was from Liu Qiwen, he guessed that he was urging him to prepare to return to Beijing.
"No, it's not convenient to talk on the phone. Come to my house for dinner and talk."
Liu Qiwen's voice was a little muffled, and after he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Fang Xiang listened to the busy tone coming from the receiver.
"Is this the beginning?"
For a moment, I was at a loss as to what to do.
When I put the phone back in its place, I realized that my hands were shaking.
I even felt a little unsteady when I tried to pick up the teacup and take a sip of tea.
He simply took out the pack of Zhonghua cigarettes that he had opened last time from the space, took out a cigarette, struck several matches before lighting it.
After taking a deep breath, his trembling hands and violently beating heart slowly calmed down.
"If it's a blessing, it's not your fault. If it's a disaster, it's inevitable. What's coming will eventually come."
After finishing his cigarette, Fang Xiang raised his hand to check the time. It was not yet eleven o'clock.
But he couldn't sit still at this moment, so he called the office and called a taxi.
He took out two bottles of Moutai from the space, picked them up and went downstairs.
"Fang Gong"
"Fang Gong"
Along the way, people kept greeting him.
They all looked at the two bottles of wine in his hands with curiosity.
It's not even noon yet, and Fang Gong, who is always mysterious and elusive, has come.
Why did you suddenly come out with wine?
Just walked to the door of the office building.
"Mr. Fang."
Xing Yi arrived in a jeep.
"Go to the district party committee's family compound."
Fang wanted to open the car door and sit in the back seat.
Xing Yi didn't say anything, he just stepped on the accelerator and drove out.
After a while, we arrived at the district party committee’s staff quarters.
When the security guard at the gate saw the pass behind the car window, he didn't check it and just lifted the bar to let you in.
"You can stay at the guesthouse next door at noon.
I think I’ll be out a little later.”
When Fang wanted to get off the car, he told Xing Yi something.
Xing Yi nodded and watched Fang Xiang walk into the doorway before driving away.
After going up to the second floor, Fang Xiang knocked on the door.
Liu Qiwen moved to a new home, but this was not his first time here and he was already familiar with the place.
"Xiao Fang is here? Come in quickly."
Liu Qiwen’s lover opened the door.
“My eldest brother just called me to come over for dinner.
Fanfan went to the nursery?"
Fang Xiang changed into slippers and asked Xiao Fanfan.
“Well, Fanfan has made some new friends in the nursery recently and he is very happy.
I don’t want to go home every day.
Qiwen hasn't come back yet, please sit down for a while, I'll go buy some groceries."
After my sister-in-law let Fang Xiang in, she said with a smile.
Nowadays, very few homes have telephones installed, and I guess Liu Qiwen didn't tell his family.
At this time Liu Qiwen had not returned home either. Although the man and woman were soon to be relatives, they still had to avoid suspicion.
After saying that, he picked up his small bag and went out.
Fang Xiang sat quietly in the living room and made tea for herself.
"You're here so early."
Not long after, Liu Qiwen came in with the key.
"As soon as you hung up the phone, I couldn't sit still. So I've been waiting for you for a while."
Fang wanted to put the half-smoked cigarette into the ashtray.
"How did you learn to smoke?"
When Liu Qiwen was changing his shoes, he naturally saw Fang Xiang's actions and asked with a frown.
"My sister-in-law went out to buy groceries."
Fang Xiang didn't answer, but just picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"Well, let's go to the study and talk."
Liu Qiwen nodded and saw that there was tea on the table that someone wanted to pour for himself.
So he picked up the teacup and went into the study.
"Have you heard about the upcoming conference?"
Liu Qiwen took a sip of tea, tested the temperature, and then looked at Fang Xiang.
"Um..."
Fang Xiang nodded without saying anything, waiting for Liu Qiwen to continue.
"The last time I went back to Beijing, my father analyzed several possibilities.
Then in the morning, he called me and told me that this might be the worst possible outcome.”
Liu Qiwen sighed, then took out a cigarette from his pocket and wanted to light one for himself.
But he found that the cigarette box was empty, so he simply stretched out his hand and looked at Fang Xiang.
"So... what is uncle's plan?"
Fang wanted to take out the Zhonghua cigarettes, keep one for himself, and put the rest into Liu Qiwen's hands.
He took out a match and lit it for both of them.
"Let's hold the wedding in Luoyi..."
Father is going to get my younger sister a graduation certificate early, to see if she can be transferred to live with you."
Liu Qiwen took a deep puff of smoke and exhaled a smoke ring.
Through the thin smoke, the look in his eyes was quite complicated.
