Chapter 740 Ma Suqin Enters Beijing
Rolling mill
Lin Chen just arrived at the office
Liu Wenzhang from the Purchasing Department brought over a list.
Lin Chen took a look, signed his name and stamped it.
"To have a batch of gear shaping machines at this time, could it be that Ma Suqin, whom I summoned, is coming? She makes gears in the automobile factory..."
A well-behaved man thinks about women when he has enough food and clothing. Lin Chen has no worries about food and drink... now all that’s left is to have fun.
"System, can't we bring people from other time and space in Sijiu City over here?"
[Not for now, the past is the past. ]
Lin Chen knew that the system was last upgraded during the Spring Festival of 1952, and he wondered if it would be upgraded again during the Spring Festival of 1955. After all, three years had passed...
Thinking of this, Lin Chen went to Director Yang's office. This batch of gear shaping machines must be assigned to Workshop 1. It would be more appropriate for Ma Suqin to go to Workshop 1...
...Jiangnan Girl, Ma Suqin Jinling City
In a residential area in Jiangbei...
A little girl is happily packing her luggage.
"Little sister, don't forget to send back the money you earned in Sijiucheng this time. Mom needs five dollars a month to buy medicine, and I can't afford it by myself."
Ma Suqin looked at her elder brother standing at the door and felt disgusted.
"Don't worry! Once I'm firmly established, I'll take our mother to Sijiu City. You won't have to take care of her..."
The reason why Ma Suqin was so willing to go to Sijiucheng was because her sister-in-law introduced her to a man who was her distant cousin.
That guy is as fat as a pig, and I hate the sight of him... Now that I finally have a chance to leave, I might as well run faster.
When Ma Changzheng heard his sister say that she wanted to take his mother away, he immediately smiled and said, "Ma Suqin, we must keep our word. If you don't take her away, you have to come back and marry Xu Hao. He is willing to give a betrothal gift of thirty yuan..."
Ma Suqin didn't want to waste time talking to her brother, so she lowered her head and packed her bag. She would come back to pick up her mother as soon as she got a foothold in Sijiu City. If she relied on her brother and sister-in-law to take care of her, her mother would probably not live more than three years.
Just then, a woman in her fifties came over, groping for the door panel, and it was obvious that she had eyesight problems.
"Suqin, don't come back if you leave! Mom can't let you get in trouble. Find a good family in Sijiu City. Don't come back..."
When Ma Suqin saw her mother coming, she put down the clothes she had packed and hurriedly helped her mother into the house and sat down.
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about! I will definitely take good care of you. I am not an ungrateful person like some people. They actually forced their sister to marry a gambler for the sake of the bride price... Bah."
When Ma Suqin said this, she was referring to her brother and sister-in-law.
Ma Changzheng and his wife were staring in anger... Now that their younger sister has gone to work in Sijiu City, they won't be able to control her in the future.
However, when they thought about what she had just said about taking her mother away in the future, the couple suppressed their anger.
"Ma Suqin, let's stick to our words. If you don't come back to take your mother away, I won't serve you."
Now that Ma Suqin has received the transfer letter from the factory, she is not afraid of her brother and sister-in-law at all.
"I will definitely take Mom away before the New Year, and we will never come back. You two can do whatever you want with the Ma family..."
Ma Changzheng and his wife left happily, leaving the mother and daughter hugging each other and crying.
"Suqin, it's all Mom's fault that you got into trouble! Those two ungrateful bastards wouldn't dare to starve me to death. You mustn't come back... Otherwise, they will use me to force you to marry into the Xu family."
Ma Suqin knew nothing about the future. It was purely accidental that she got the opportunity to work in the big factory in Beijing.
The person in the workshop suddenly stopped going for some reason, so he sent me to take his place.
The environment in Jiangnan is much warmer than that in the old city, and no one is willing to leave their hometown...
Ma Suqin, who wanted to escape from Jinling, successfully got the quota.
"Mom, I said I would support you for the rest of your life. Just hold on a little longer, and I'll come back to pick you up in three months at most."
Mrs. Lan's hands groped back and forth on her daughter's face... Her daughter had never seen anything like this in her life.
……
Two days later
Yan Bugui's home
Nan Yi worked hard for a long time to prepare a table of food and wine...
Yan Bugui called over Liu Haizhong and a few other uncles from the courtyard house. As for Jia Dongxu and Sha Zhu, they didn't have to think about this dinner.
"Brother Yang, I'm sorry to have cost you so much money! How can I be so embarrassed..."
Yang Lao San felt disgusted when he saw the cheerful Guo Da Piezi, but he finally found Lin Chen to mediate. He couldn't fall out with him again...
"A few dollars is nothing for old neighbors to get together... Lao Guo will have a few more drinks later."
Now a dozen people are talking and laughing on the surface, but none of them trust each other in their hearts.
Because there were too many people, Yan Jiecheng didn't even get to sit at the table...
Lin Chen stood up with his wine glass, and everyone else followed suit.
"We are all old neighbors living in the same courtyard. We should get along well with each other in the future. Don't make it like a revenge for the murder of your father. Don't mention the past after drinking this glass of wine..."
Everyone followed suit and raised their glasses, trying to ease the tension first...
Yang Laosan felt a pain in his heart when he saw the others drinking. He had just recovered from a serious illness and Lin Chen didn't allow him to drink...
Just like that, with Lin Chen's mediation, the several parties temporarily stopped confronting each other.
……
The next day was sunny, a rare warm winter sun.
Rolling mill
Lin Chen is drinking tea and reading newspaper in the office...
Secretary Wan knocked on the door personally, holding a file bag in his hand.
"Secretary Wan, why did you come here in person? Ask the secretary to call me, and I'll go upstairs to find you..."
After Lin Chen glanced at the file bag the other party was holding, he realized that it was four senior engineers arranged by his cheap uncle to work in the steel rolling mill.
"It's all the same. I just happened to be going out to do some work. I came to bring you something... Take a look at it first."
Lin Chen looked at the word "confidential" on the file bag and opened it.
Two minutes later, Lin Chen returned the file bag to Secretary Wan.
"This is a good thing! The ministry attaches so much importance to our steel mill. In the future, our steel mill will definitely receive more production tasks."
After hearing what Lin Chen said, Secretary Wan nodded happily.
"Director Lin, how do we arrange for these talents?"
Lin Chen had already thought of accommodations for his subordinates, and they would not be angry no matter how he arranged it.
"Secretary Wan, do you think this will work? We should allocate another area next to the Big Brother expert group and arrange for them to receive the same level of treatment. Their families are not in the city, and it is inconvenient for them to live in the city. It is better to protect them all together..."
Ten minutes later, Secretary Wan left the factory office, and Lin Chen went to the logistics department to find Fatty Wang. He was responsible for all these tasks...
Lin Chen also wanted to get involved in the production of the steel mill, but it was done by his subordinates, and he himself had no interest in it.
……
Workshop 1
After Lin Chen's treatment, Yang Laosan is now able to go back to work.
While drinking tea, this guy ran to Xiao Changgong's workstation to inquire about what happened that night when Guo Dapiezi hosted a dinner party... to see if anyone said anything bad about him.
Xiao Changgong was only concerned with drinking and eating, and didn't care what they were talking about.
"Don't think too much about what they will say when they are guarding me."
