A powerful country in scientific research

The next morning, the weather was clear.

Su Ran looked at the youthful boys and girls at the school gate, and sighed in her heart that it was another energetic day.

She followed the crowd and walked silently towards the classroom. As soon as she sat down in her seat, Wu Hongying came over bouncing.

Wu Hongying took out a lunch box from her schoolbag. She came close to Su Ran and whispered, "Ranran, this is the braised pork my mother made. My mother asked me to bring it to you." Although her voice was small, her tone was full of excitement.

Su Ran smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, Auntie."

Although she didn't know why her best friend's mother would specially make braised pork for her, since her best friend brought it to her, she couldn't refuse.

Wu Hongying: "Why are you being so polite to me? The braised pork my mom makes is delicious! You'll know at noon, hehehe."

There is a cafeteria in No. 1 Middle School. They usually eat in the cafeteria and pay meal fees and food coupons at the beginning of each month.

Su Ran nodded.

She has a good relationship with Wu Hongying, so there is no need for her to refuse. However, the meat is indeed expensive, and she is not someone who likes to take advantage. When she has time, she will make some more mushroom sauce for Wu Hongying!

Su Ran thought secretly.

It was still early and not many people were in the class. Wu Hongying and Su Ran talked about their parents' reactions when they ate mushroom sauce yesterday. They even started acting out the story, and their mischievous appearance made Su Ran laugh.

There were more and more people in the class, and He Cheng and Xu Kai also arrived one after another.

After greeting each other, Xu Kai told Su Ran that his uncle would come to see her at noon.

Su Ran was a little surprised, "What does your uncle want to talk to me about?"

Xu Kai scratched his head. "I don't know either. After he ate your sauce yesterday, he said he wanted to see you. I really don't know what he was going to do."

Su Ran nodded. She seemed to have guessed something. Was he interested in her mushroom sauce?

Should she cooperate? If Uncle Xu Kai was from the Red Flag Food Factory, she could choose to cooperate. But if he was from the Red Star Food Factory, should she refuse?

She felt like she was having a headache. Su Ran sighed in her heart and thought, forget it, don’t think about it anymore. She’ll know at noon.

......

At noon, Su Ran, Wu Hongying, Xu Kai and He Cheng went to the cafeteria to eat lunch together, and then went to the gate together. Since the remedial classes, the four of them have liked to hang out together more and more.

Originally, Su Ran wanted to come alone with Xu Kai, but Wu Hongying insisted on accompanying her, and He Cheng also said that he had nothing to do and it was just right for a walk, so the four of them came together.

They came out early and Xu Kai's uncle had not arrived yet, so the four of them stood at the school gate and chatted.

The four good-looking people standing there were a beautiful sight, attracting everyone passing by to look sideways.

After a while, Xu Kai's uncle came over with a happy face.

When Xu Kai saw the person coming, he quickly called out, "Uncle."

Yang Qingshan responded, and he looked at the four children in front of him with a smile, "Hello everyone, I am Xu Kai's uncle, and also the director of the Hongqi Food Factory. My name is Yang Qingshan, you can call me Uncle Yang."

Su Ran: "Hello Uncle Yang, I'm Su Ran."

Xu Kai's uncle turned out to be Director Yang of the Hongqi Food Factory. What a coincidence! Her worries in the morning were in vain.

He Cheng: "Uncle Yang, I'm He Cheng."

Wu Hongying: "Uncle Yang, I'm Wu Hongying."

The two people knew that they had nothing to do today, but they still greeted their elders politely.

Yang Qingshan responded, and then he looked at Su Ran with a smile on his face: "Comrade Xiao Su, I ate the mushroom sauce that Xiao Kai brought back yesterday, and it was amazing. It tasted so good. Xiao Kai said you made it, and he said you have good grades. It's true that young people are heroes."

Su Ran smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for the compliment. What do you want to talk to me about?"

She was in a hurry to get back to the classroom for a nap, so she didn't bother to be polite and asked her question directly.

Seeing Su Ran being so direct, Yang Qingshan stopped beating around the bush and said, "Comrade Su, this is what I want to ask you if you are willing to cooperate with our food factory to produce mushroom sauce."

Sure enough, it's because of this.

Su Ran asked, "How to cooperate?" She was a little curious about how factories could cooperate with individuals in this era.

When Yang Qingshan heard Su Ran's question, he knew that she also wanted to cooperate, and the smile on his face became even bigger.

Yang Qingshan: "Today, I discussed two options with my colleagues. The first option is that you come to our factory as a researcher, responsible for the production of mushroom sauce and new product development. The salary of a researcher is high and the benefits are not bad. The second option is that you give us the formula, and we will give you a job and some compensation. The specific compensation needs to be discussed later. You also know that we are all paid, and this is the limit of our authority."

Su Ran nodded. It was pretty much what she imagined. Nowadays, all factories are public and the money earned is the country's money. After the reform and opening up, there might be the concept of "investing", but now it's just something she can only think about.

Wu Hongying and Xu Kai were both very surprised. Su Ran was so capable that he could get the food factory to offer such good conditions. A researcher's monthly salary was much more than that of an ordinary worker.

He Cheng was not very surprised. He felt that the sauce was special when he ate it for the first time, and it was indeed true.

He glanced sideways at Su Ran beside him. As expected of her, she could do everything to the best of her ability.

Su Ran lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "My mother can do it, too. Can I let her be a researcher?"

Yang Qingshan: "As long as the taste remains the same, it's fine."

Su Ran was very satisfied to see how straightforward they were. She said in a good mood, "It will definitely not change. It may even get better. Director Yang, do you plan to grow mushrooms yourself or buy them? If you want to grow them, I can help you."

Yang Qingshan, who was standing opposite, was shocked when he heard this. This young man can grow mushrooms? Is this true?

He swallowed and said, "Comrade Xiao Su, can you grow mushrooms?"

Su Ran nodded, "Yes, Uncle Yang, the mushroom sauce this time uses the mushrooms I grew."

Without waiting for Yang Qingshan to speak, she continued, "Uncle Yang, are you free tonight? If you are free, come to my house and try the mushroom sauce made by my mother, and take a look at the mushrooms I grow."

Yang Qingshan's eyes lit up. "Yes, yes, of course I am free. But can I bring two colleagues with me?"

He wanted to bring along Deputy Director Liu, who was in charge of sales, and Deputy Director Sun, who was in charge of R&D, so that it would show that they valued this cooperation.

Su Ran naturally had no objection. It would be good to have more people come so that they could all understand the benefits of mushroom sauce. This would help them better convince other leaders in the factory, and Researcher Jiang Hongmei's position would also be more secure.

Su Ran gave Yang Qingshan her home address, exchanged a few polite words, and then returned to the classroom with the other three people.

When Yang Qingshan heard that Su Ran said the address was the staff quarters of the Hongqi Food Factory, he was not very surprised. Yesterday he learned from his nephew that her parents were both workers at the Hongqi Food Factory. He could easily find out the parents' information and go directly to them.

But since the nephew said that the person who made the mushroom sauce was Comrade Xiao Su, there was no need for him to go to the parents. After all, he didn't want others to think that he was abusing his power.

Wu Hongying kept praising Su Ran as they walked. While others were worrying about work, Ranran's job came to them on its own initiative. She was so envious.

It would be great if she could also have such a job that fell from the sky, but unfortunately she doesn’t have Ranran’s ability, alas!

Also, when Su Ran said just now that she wanted to give the job to her mother, she was very surprised, but then she realized that Ran Ran had such good grades, she would definitely be able to go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. If she could go to university, she naturally would not go to work in a factory.

It’s another day of envying my good sisters!
