Start plundering from the courtyard

Putting aside the psychological activities of the big boss and Director Yang, Lin Fan's expression did not fluctuate at all. He just squinted his eyes. He felt tired after sitting in the car just now. Now Lin Fan just wanted to have a good rest.

As for Lao Jiao and Secretary Chen outside the house, they had already picked up all the chess pieces scattered on the ground.

Lao Jiao was feeling depressed. He glanced at the silent study door, then looked at Secretary Chen who was standing next to him.

Secretary Chen's behavior was obviously different from Lao Jiao's. Otherwise, how could he be the secretary of the top boss in a steel rolling mill? Secretary Chen's expression did not show anything unusual. Although his eyes were also looking towards the study door, he obviously did not show any impatience, as if he was daydreaming!

Lao Jiao couldn't help it any longer.

He walked up to Secretary Chen with an embarrassed look on his face, leaned close to Secretary Chen's ear and whispered.

"Secretary Chen, we're both sitting here doing nothing anyway, how about I knock over the chessboard and chess pieces, and we play again?"

However, in the face of Lao Jiao's suggestion, Secretary Chen did not respond. Instead, he stepped back a few steps and looked at Lao Jiao, who was eager to try, in silence, as if he had seen something terrible!

Lao Jiao was puzzled.

Secretary Chen quickly answered his doubts. After managing his facial expression, he spoke calmly to Lao Jiao.

"Director Jiao, if you knock over the chessboard, there's no need for us to pick it up again! However, if you want to play a few games, I can accompany you!"

When Lao Jiao heard the first half of the sentence, he looked regretful, but when he heard the second half, his eyes lit up. He sat down directly and started fiddling with the chessboard and chess pieces.

Secretary Chen also sat down and started fiddling with the chess pieces on his side.

Back inside the house, when Lin Fan was drowsy and half asleep, the old man's applause suddenly rang out in the originally quiet study!

Lin Fan was so frightened that he shuddered all over and woke up immediately.

The old man's face flushed, he held the drawing in one hand and pointed at it with the other, and said to Director Yang.

"Xiao Yang, you've found a good opportunity this time. Your steel mill has produced a great talent!"

Director Yang had not seen Lin Fan's drawings, but when he saw that the big boss was so happy after looking at the drawings, he was also very happy. After all, if he gets promoted in the future, it will be counted as his accumulated achievements!

It’s not over yet, the big leader continued with an excited look on his face.

"For so many years, mastering large-scale machine technology has always been a difficult problem for our country. Now we will finally no longer be strangled by other countries!"

"Xiao Lin, you are very good, really good!"

Facing the praise from the big boss, Lin Fan seemed neither humble nor arrogant, but he did not say anything to refuse, because the big boss was right in praising him, not only was he really good, he was also a rare genius!

Young people are naturally arrogant. When the leader saw Lin Fan's proud look, he couldn't help but smile.

In his opinion, capable people should be proud, and others should accept their pride! Moreover, Lin Fan's age is here. If Lin Fan, a young man, is not full of vigor, can he still be called a young man?

Is there really any hope for this country?

There is never a shortage of old stubborn people in every era, but at the same time, there is never a shortage of people who keep up with the development of new ideas of the times. Mr. Liang Qichao’s words also prove this point!

Ahem…let’s get back to the topic!

The big boss couldn't stop laughing while holding the blueprint, and Director Yang also laughed foolishly. Only Lin Fan had a calm expression. The big boss stood up and called the guard outside the door in.

Then he casually mentioned a few names and asked the guards to call those old guys over. After receiving the instructions, the guards saluted and left.

Lin Fan's expression remained calm, but when Director Yang heard the names mentioned by the big boss, his expression changed significantly. He first showed surprise, and then ecstasy!

Lin Fan is still young and has just started working at the steel rolling mill. He doesn't understand the ins and outs of the mill, but as the top leader of the mill, he knows it very well. It is no exaggeration to say that the people the big boss asked the guards to call just now are all big guys with connections!

There are even a few who are on the same level as the big leaders, so how could Director Yang not be ecstatic? It's like Zhuge Liang borrowing the east wind, but ended up borrowing Dongfeng missiles. He is simply like Ying Zheng touching the electric wire, he is so happy to win!

Seeing Director Yang's expression changing constantly and looking at him with gratitude, Lin Fan was confused, but the big boss knew exactly what was going on!

But he didn't say anything. In his opinion, with his old bones around, Lin Fan's contribution would definitely not be swallowed up by others! But even if Director Yang only got a little credit, it would be enough for Director Yang's future development. This was God's will and Director Yang's own luck!

Director Yang himself was very clear about this, but it did not hinder him. In his heart, he treated Lin Fan as a treasure. Since there was one credit, there would be a second one. After all, Lin Fan was a genius, so it made sense!

The atmosphere in the room became subtle. The big boss continued to look through the drawings. Director Yang looked at Lin Fan with burning eyes. Lin Fan felt himself itching all over!

Not long.

There was a commotion at the entrance of the big boss's courtyard. Lao Jiao and Secretary Chen, who were playing chess in the courtyard, stood up quickly.

Secretary Chen noticed that the guard had just entered the study and came out again, and knew that an important person was coming. At this moment, his eyes were respectful and his behavior was extremely appropriate!

But Lao Jiao is different from him. He has a very simple mind. At this moment, Lao Jiao is secretly making small moves, trying to disrupt Secretary Chen's chess pieces on the board and change his losing streak!

Seven or eight old men came in and were discussing the reason why the leader invited them here. They didn't even look at Secretary Chen and Lao Jiao in the courtyard. Led by the guards, they went straight to the study.

After several people entered the study and the guard walked out of the yard, Secretary Chen sighed. Lao Jiao also came back to his senses and invited Secretary Chen.

"Come on, Brother Chen, this game isn't over yet. I'm going to kill you without leaving a single piece of armor behind!"

Secretary Chen smiled. This Old Jiao was really a bold man. He was just about to agree to compete with Old Jiao, but as soon as he sat down, he discovered something unusual about the chess game.

Secretary Chen looked helpless. He raised his head, glanced at Lao Jiao, and then said lightly.

"Brother Jiao, I understand that you want to beat me, but you can't cheat so blatantly, right?"

Lao Jiao chuckled but still pretended to be confused and asked Secretary Chen in a puzzled manner.

"Secretary Chen, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand what you mean?"

Secretary Chen originally didn't want to say anything, but seeing Lao Jiao's shameless look, he could only suppress his emotions and spoke in a flat tone.

"Brother Jiao, you can cheat if you want to, but the key is to choose the right time to cheat. There were only three pieces left on the board, and you had nothing but the general. But I had one more horse than you, but now I have no horse and you have one more horse. Tell me, what is going on?"
