Chapter 184 First Meeting with Lou Zhenhua

Chapter 184 First Meeting with Lou Zhenhua

new week.

Li Kailang came to work at the transport team as usual.

"Brother, Brother Zhang, good morning!"

"Morning, Xiao Li!"

Lu Wenjiang, Li Kailang and Zhang Fen were staying in the lounge with nothing to do.

There weren't many tasks today, and not many people could be assigned to them, so the three of them had some time to rest.

"By the way, what did you do yesterday?" Zhang Fen asked as he took out a cigarette.

Lu Wenjiang and Li Kailang took the cigarettes and lit them.

"Where else can we go? We'll definitely stay at home. There's nothing fun outside." Lu Wenjiang said indifferently.

"No way, Brother Lu, you already have a sister-in-law, and you don't go out to play." Zhang Fen said in surprise.

"Do I have to go out just because I have a sister-in-law? It's a rare day of rest, and I don't want to move." Lu Wenjiang replied.

Lu Wenjiang is twenty-five or twenty-six years old today. He has been married for a long time, but he has no children.

Lu Wenjiang's thinking is quite advanced. In his words, he doesn't want to be tied down by a child in his prime years.

Zhang Jinwu advised Lu Wenjiang many times to have a baby as soon as possible, but Lu Wenjiang didn't listen.

"It seems that Brother Lu must be tired!" Zhang Fen noticed the dark circles under Lu Wenjiang's eyes and said meaningfully.

"You kid, you want a beating, right?" Lu Wenjiang pretended to hit Zhang Fen.

However, Zhang Fen avoided him and looked at Li Kailang: "Xiao Li, what about you? What did you do yesterday?"

"What else can I do? Just stay at home." Li Kailang shrugged.

"No way, why are you all staying at home? You must be bored to death!" Zhang Fen sighed to the sky.

"If you want to go out and play, just tell us. Don't think we don't know what you are thinking," said Lu Wenjiang.

To put it bluntly, it was Zhang Fen who wanted to go out and play. If he stayed at home, he would be scolded by Zhang Jinwu.

If Zhang Fen was not still in the internship period, Zhang Jinwu would want Zhang Fen to get married.

"How about we go out and have some fun this weekend?" Zhang Fen suggested.

"Okay! Where to go?" Lu Wenjiang and Li Kailang did not refuse.

"It hasn't been decided yet. Let's see in the next few days!" said Zhang Fen.

"If you haven't thought about it yet, why are you talking about going out to play?" Lu Wenjiang said.

"Isn't this already agreed upon? If no one goes out, what's the point of thinking it through?"

"That's true." Lu Wenjiang said.

"By the way, where is Master? Usually there are no tasks, so Master always comes out to sit with us." Li Kailang suddenly asked.

"Yeah, that's right. I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't told me. Xiao Zhang, where is Master going?" Lu Wenjiang said.

"How should I know this?" Zhang Fen was completely unaware.

On the other side, the cadres building.

At this time, Director Lu, Deputy Director Yang, Li Huaide, Zhao Zhiyuan and other leaders of the steel rolling mill, including Zhang Jinwu, gathered here.

"Here it comes, here it comes!" a sharp-eyed cadre suddenly shouted, and everyone's eyes instantly turned to the distance.

I saw a car slowly driving towards the crowd.

Seeing this, all the leaders immediately straightened their clothes.

The car quickly drove in front of the crowd, the door opened, and a person got out of the car.

"Director Lou!" Factory Director Lu immediately came forward and greeted him warmly.

The visitor was the shareholder of the steel rolling mill and the current major shareholder - Lou Zhenhua.

Lou Zhenhua also responded politely: "Director Lu, long time no see!"

As the former owner of the steel mill, Lou Zhenhua has sold most of his shares to the government.

But he is still a major shareholder of the steel mill and has an influence that cannot be ignored.

Although Lou Zhenhua cannot directly participate in the work arrangements of the steel mill, he has the right to inspect and can understand the operation of the steel mill at any time.

Normally, Lou Zhenhua would just make a simple inspection of the factory, accompanied by only one or two leaders.

But this time, he came as a major shareholder, so the show couldn't be too small.

Now, Lou Zhenhua’s power is no less than that of Director Lu.

He also has a certain say in the appointment of factory leaders.

Not until the redemption was completed did the steel mill completely sever ties with Lou Zhanhua.

"Director Lou, I wonder what instructions you have for this visit?" Director Lu asked tentatively.

"Director Lu, you're joking. I don't have any instructions. I just came to take a look. After all, I haven't been to the factory for a while." Lou Zhenhua said.

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Director Lu, you guys go about your business. I'll just take a look around and then leave," Lou Zhenhua said with a smile.

His words made everyone present breathe a sigh of relief.

"How can this be? Director Lou hasn't come to see for a long time, and there are still some changes in the factory. Don't you know about it?" Director Lu said politely.

Lou Zhenhua suddenly became interested: "Are there any changes? I would like to see."

"Director Lou, follow me!" Director Lu took Lou Zhenhua to the smelting workshop.

Melting workshop.

Huge steel-making converters are running at full capacity, their surfaces illuminated by the fiery temperature in a bright orange-red color.

The molten iron flowing out of the converter is extremely hot and emits a dazzling orange-red light, appearing extremely gorgeous.

The molten iron flows through pipes into huge tanks, cools and solidifies, and eventually becomes hard steel.

Workers in the smelting shop wear special work clothes and heavy gloves.

Various equipment are operated intensively and orderly in a high temperature environment to ensure the smooth progress of the production process.

Lou Zhenhua stood at the door of the workshop, his eyes attracted by these new steel-making equipment.

He was wearing a neat suit, which formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding working environment.

Lou Zhenhua wanted to learn more about these steelmaking equipment, but Director Lu quickly stopped him:
"Director Lou, you can't go in without your equipment uniform."

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot!"

Only then did Lou Zhenhua notice that his suit was out of place in this environment. He quickly stepped back and no longer insisted on entering.

Although he cannot manage the steel mill, Lou Zhanhua still keeps in mind the necessary safety awareness.

He looked around at the new steel-making equipment with an expression of amazement in his eyes.

Noticing Lou Zhenhua's expression, Director Lu explained at the right time: "Director Lou, this converter is the newest equipment in the world."

"Director Lou, the converter you see is the newest equipment in the world," said Director Lu, pointing to the huge converter.

"It uses the oxygen top-blown converter steelmaking process, which can not only smelt 30 tons of pig iron at a time, but also consume 50% more scrap steel and handle high-phosphorus molten iron."

Director Lu explained the advantages of these equipment in detail, and Lou Zhenhua couldn't help but marvel at the advanced nature of these equipment.

Suddenly, Lou Zhenhua thought of something: "Director Lu, I remember that you asked me to approve a large amount of funds before, which was to buy these equipment, right?"

Director Lu nodded, with a proud smile on his face:

"It was that batch. These devices were not easy to get. We were almost snatched away by other factories at that time."

Thinking of this, Director Lu was still a little frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

Since the speech last month, the production pressure in the smelting shop has increased dramatically. Even if the converter runs 24 hours a day, it is impossible to produce all the pig iron.

It was almost damaged due to overload.

Seeing Lu Chang's serious look, Lou Zhenhua realized that this matter was not simple.

"But fortunately, we have better skills and prevented other factories from succeeding." Director Lu said thankfully.

After hearing this, Lou Zhenhua couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart: "What exactly is going on? Can you tell me more about it?"

Hearing this, Director Lu just smiled and didn't say anything else. "I understand! I understand!" Lou Zhenhua smiled helplessly.

As a major shareholder, he cannot interfere too much.

After staying in the smelting workshop for a while, everyone left.

As soon as he walked out of the workshop, a cool breeze blew over him, making him feel refreshed instantly.

"Director Lou, which workshop do you want to visit?" asked Director Lu.

Lou Zhenhua glanced around and pointed to the parking lot in the distance:

"Let's go check out the transport team. I haven't been there for a while. I wonder if there have been any changes to the transport team?"

The transport team was part of the logistics department. Director Lu did not take on any responsibility. He turned to Li Huaide and said:

"Deputy Director Li, please talk to Director Lou about the changes in the transportation team in the past few months."

Li Huaide nodded, walked to Lou Zhenhua and began to tell the story.

“Our transport team previously only had”

"Yeah!" Lou Zhenhua nodded from time to time to agree with Li Huaide, but in fact he didn't listen at all.

I came to the steel mill today for inspection and to look for someone.

In the transport team, who is the person Lou Xiaoe was talking about?

Although Lou Xiao'e didn't care who she touched, Lou Zhenhua cared very much.

After all, he only has one daughter, Lou Xiao'e. If he doesn't love her, how can he expect others to love her?
At this time, someone ran to the transport team's lounge early to inform them.

"Stop smoking, the leaders will come to inspect us soon."

The man pointed at the group of masters who were smoking in the lounge, including Lu Wenjiang and the other two.

"The leader is here, but he can't let us smoke! We don't usually see your leader coming here." A master said bluntly.

"You!" The man choked, "Okay, if you want to smoke, go ahead. If something happens, don't worry about me not warning you."

"Let me make it clear to you first. The leader who is here this time is the major shareholder of our steel mill. If he wants to fire you, the factory director will not refuse."

"You guys should think about this matter carefully!" the man said bluntly.

When they heard about the dismissal, everyone's eyes fixed, the person who came was very impressive.

Although the steel mill is publicly owned, the public-private partnership has only been in place for a few years, so the shareholders still have some capacity.

Even if they cannot be fired, they will feel bad if they offend their leaders.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you!" the master said helplessly and put out his cigarette.

"Let's go and rinse our mouths, so as not to give the leader a bad smell in his mouth!" Li Kailang said to the two of them.

Lu Wenjiang and Zhang Fen did not refuse and went out to rinse their mouths.

After a while, the three were about to return to the lounge when they suddenly ran into Lou Zhenhua and other leaders.

"Li Kailang, we were just looking for you. Where did you go?" Li Huaide asked hurriedly, while introducing Li Kailang to Lou Zhenhua:
"Director Lou, this is the inventor I just mentioned. He invented two patents for our factory."

"These two patents greatly ensure the safety of drivers."

Lou Zhenhua looked at Li Kailang in front of him, young and full of vitality, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

He originally thought that inventors should be older and more experienced, but he didn't expect the one in front of him to be so young.

"Is this Comrade Li Kailang? He is really a promising young man!" Lou Zhenhua exclaimed.

"I'm 18, Director Lou." Li Kailang replied.

"18 years old! It's unbelievable!" Lou Zhenhua exclaimed.

"You are so young and have invented two patents. You are really the pride of our steel mill!"

Then he turned to Director Lu and said in a somewhat reproachful tone:
"Director Lu, why didn't you tell me that our factory has produced such an inventor? I have to express my gratitude in any way!"

Li Kailang shook his head and said modestly: "No need, Director Lou, the leader has already given me a reward, there is no need to give me another one!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jinwu, who was standing behind the leader, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Kailang naturally understood what Zhang Jinwu meant.

Li Kailang looked at Zhang Jinwu and shook his head frantically, and said:

"Director Lou, you are one of the leaders of the steel mill. Director Lu has already rewarded me on behalf of the factory leaders, and you are one of them, so there is no need to reward me again."

Seeing Li Kailang's firm attitude, Lou Zhenhua no longer forced him.

As a leader and major shareholder, there are some things that he only needs to say once.

Lou Zhenhua politely talked to Li Kailang for a few words, then turned to the group of drivers, trying to find the person Lou Xiaoe met that day.

Among them, Li Kailang is the most suspicious.

After all, Lou Zhenhua couldn't think of anyone else who could invent a patent and speak to him with dignity except him.

"By the way, I wonder how many years it has been since Comrade Li Kailang started his career?" Lou Zhenhua asked.

"Director Lou, I'm not a master yet. I've only been driving for less than 5 months." Li Kailang replied.

"Less than 5 months! Are you sure?" Lou Zhenhua asked again.

"Director Lou, there's nothing uncertain about this. I got my driver's license myself and the date is all on it," Li Kailang responded.

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot!" said Lou Zhenhua.

Looking at Li Kailang, Lou Zhenhua thought to himself, "This guy should not be the one Xiao E met."

Lou Zhenhua knew that the requirements for drivers were very strict. In the first six months, they had to drive with their master and could not drive alone.

According to Lou Xiao'e's description, the person she met was driving alone.

In addition, Lou Xiao'e also mentioned that the man had good conversation skills, which showed that he had a certain level of knowledge.

Li Kailang is only 18 years old this year, so he started learning to drive at the age of 15.
At the age of 15, Li Kailang has at best graduated from junior high school. It is impossible for him to have a very high level of education and knowledge.

Therefore, Lou Zhenhua directly ruled out Li Kailang as a suspect.

"What a pity. He has invented two patents at such a young age. If he had a higher degree and knowledge, it would not be impossible."

Lou Zhenhua felt a little regretful. If Li Kailang had a higher academic qualification, he might consider talking to Lou Xiaoe to see if they were a good match.

At this time, academic qualifications and knowledge are almost synonymous.

If Li Kailang knew about this, he would avoid it as much as possible, so how could he possibly come forward to talk?

After all, the most the Lou family has is money, which is of no use to Li Kailang. To be more precise, he has plenty of it.

After Lou Zhenhua scanned the crowd, he did not find anyone who matched that person.

This made him feel a little disappointed, but also relieved.

"Deputy Director Li, if there are any other changes in the transportation team, please take me to see." Lou Zhenhua said to Li Huaide.

"Okay, Director Lou, please come this way." Li Huaide stretched out his hand and guided Lou Zhenhua to the next location.

Watching Lou Zhenhua's back as he left, Li Kailang didn't understand what he meant just now.

"You kid, you did a really good job this time!" Zhang Jinwu patted Li Kailang's shoulder with a smile on his face.

"It was my master who reminded me, otherwise I would have almost agreed to it." Li Kailang replied.

At this time, Lu Wenjiang came over and said in a slightly naughty tone: "Master, it turns out that you went to accompany Director Lou. No wonder I didn't see you just now."

Zhang Jinwu glared at him and scolded him with a smile: "You kid, you always talk so disrespectfully."

Lu Wenjiang chuckled and said nothing more.

Zhang Jinwu looked at the three of them and said, "Okay, I won't chat with you anymore. I have something else to do. Director Lou is coming today, so you tell everyone to be careful and don't let anything go wrong!"

"Don't worry, Master, nothing will go wrong!" Lu Wenjiang assured.

"That would be the best. I won't chat with you anymore."

After saying that, Zhang Jinwu turned around and hurriedly caught up with the team.

Zhang Fen looked at his father's back, then turned to Li Kailang and said:
"Xiao Li, why do you think Director Lou came to our place?"

Li Kailang hesitated for a moment and replied, "I'm not sure about that. Maybe he came to inspect the work, or he wants to discuss some important project."

"However, since Master takes this so seriously, we still need to be fully prepared."
