Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

Ye Chuan laughed loudly and whispered in Tong Yao's ear: "On the day of our wedding, you will see a more amazing me. Why don't you find a place to rehearse it? I guarantee you will be convinced."

Seeing his teasing expression, Tong Yao blushed instantly, her eyes were watery, and the corners of her mouth were shy, "Dream on!"

After they reached the second floor, Ye Chuan took her hand with a smile on his face and walked towards the stalls inside.

As he passed a row of stalls, he said, “This is the display cabinet of the Second Electronics Factory that specializes in selling alarm clocks.”

Looking at the empty counter, Tong Yao asked curiously, "Why is there no one here?"

"Due to insufficient production capacity, we can only provide 50 vehicles to the First Department Store every day, and they are basically sold out when the store opens at 8:30." Ye Chuan explained patiently.

This made Tong Yao feel extremely satisfied. She was proud of her happiness, as if she had picked up a priceless treasure.

Then they came to the last row of bicycle stalls and stopped.

Tong Yao thought he was planning to choose a bicycle for her to use for work, so she didn't take it seriously.

There are three main brands of bicycles in the mall: Feiyue, Forever and Fengxiang, as well as some small brands, and local brands from other provinces, cities and districts, but the First Department Store in Beijing does not sell them.

The most popular one right now is the 28-inch big-bar bicycle, which is the one Ye Chuan gave to his father.

There are also twenty-six models for men and women and twenty-four models for women.

However, not many women buy bicycles. Most of them choose the 28-bar bicycles that can attract the attention of passers-by.

Ye Chuan came to the department store just to buy a suitable bicycle for Tong Yao. After marriage, their courtyard was far away from Hongxing Primary School. If they didn't have a bicycle, it would take at least half an hour to walk there on foot.

He himself didn't care about these things. His living habits in his previous life made bicycles unimportant to him.

A motorcycle might be a good choice, but he gave up the idea of ​​a bicycle. "Yaoyao, what do you think of Feiyue brand bicycles?"

Tong Yao replied: "Not bad!" In fact, she didn't realize that he was referring to the green women's Feiyue bicycle. "That color is really special, emerald green is very suitable for girls."

"Girls, I just want to give it to you." Hearing these surprising words, Tong Yao looked at the Fei Ge women's 26-inch model in front of her. The emerald green color was indeed very pleasing. "This way, after we get married, you can ride a bicycle to work, and it will take about ten minutes to get to school, and it will be more convenient to come and go." Ye Chuan continued. "Ye Chuan, I don't want it, just buy a bicycle, you can use it more than me." Tong Yao's home is close to the school, and she doesn't have the habit of riding a bicycle. "If I had needed this earlier, I would have bought it a long time ago.

I don’t really like riding a bicycle, but if there’s any emergency I can borrow my dad’s bike.” Ye Chuan explained.

Tong Yao mistakenly thought that Ye Chuan only had one bicycle ticket for her, so she insisted, "Ye Chuan, why don't you let me buy this one first? Can you buy one for me next time when you have a ticket?" Her tone was gentle.

This made Ye Chuan laugh and cry. He understood her misunderstanding and took out the three tickets from his pocket: "Yaoyao, I don't just have that ticket. I really don't like riding a bike."

Tong Yao was shocked when she saw Ye Chuan had three train tickets in his hand - even the school principal found it difficult to obtain them easily, but Ye Chuan always carried them with him.

The salesperson initially thought there was only one ticket, just like her. When she found three more tickets in front of her, she almost dropped her pen. "Excuse me, can you give me a receipt for the emerald green Feiyue Women's 26 model?" Ye Chuan said calmly. "Yes, yes, comrade, please wait a moment!" The cashier quickly calmed down. It was the first time in her life that she had encountered such a generous customer.

In the office of Kyoto Material Cooperative Headquarters,

Chen Xiangdong knocked on the office door lightly, then pushed it open and walked in.

There were two directors in the office at the time. When they saw Chen Xiangdong coming in, they immediately stood up to greet him and said with a smile, "Brother Chen, what brings you here today?"

Chen Xiangdong sat in the familiar chair between them and said lightly, "Director Yu, Director Hong, I didn't interrupt your meeting, did I?"

"Director Chen, it's rare that you are so polite to us." Director Yu said with a smile.

Director Hong also laughed and said, "Director Chen, do you have something to ask us? Normally, you don't come to the temple to burn incense if you have nothing to do."

"There is indeed something small that I want to talk about." Chen Xiangdong went straight to the point.

Director Yu is the director of the Kyoto City Material Cooperation "697" General Bureau and is also Chen Xiangdong's direct superior. Director Hong is his deputy director and is also a director-level official.

They were all old partners from the cooperative system and had known each other for a long time. "Tell me what's going on." Director Yu picked up the fragrant cigarette on the desk and distributed one to each person. He lit it leisurely and took a deep breath. "I heard that the director of the small community over in Luogu Hutong was transferred to the district community, leaving a director position vacant, right?" Chen Xiangdong asked.

Director Hong was a little surprised: "Director Chen, can the transfer of grassroots cooperatives also concern you?"

Similarly, Director Lian Yu was a little surprised: Why would the deputy director of Beijing's No. 1 Material Recycling Center be so concerned about the selection of the director of a grassroots cooperative?

Chen Xiangdong took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile: "This cooperative is a bit special. Their director is also the main person in charge of our station, and the deputy director is in charge of daily work."

Although it sounds like there is a cause and effect, such a small matter is not worth mentioning to Chen Xiangdong. "Director Yu, can you promote our deputy director to director and take over this small cooperative?" he suggested.

Director Yu blinked his eyes and said, "Old Chen, do you know this deputy director?"

"It has nothing to do with me. It's just a junior that Mr. Xu is optimistic about." Chen Xiangdong explained with a smile. "Mr. Xu? Is it Mr. Xu's family or relatives? Impossible, Mr. Xu would not do anything special for the request of a nephew or a junior, and you are not such a person, Director Chen." Director Yu asked doubtfully. He knew Chen Xiangdong's character very well. He was strict and fair in his work and hated those who tried to make connections.

Chen Xiangdong shook his head and responded: "No, his name is Ye Chuan, and he has no family relationship with Mr. Xu.

Mr. Xu simply appreciated his talent, and we met at Mr. Xu’s home.”

Hearing this, Director Yu became curious. "It sounds interesting that he got recognition from Mr. Xu based on his talent. Let's hear the details."

Chen Xiangdong continued: "It was a coincidence that Ye Chuan and Mr. Xu met.

That day, Mr. Xu's private car broke down and the driver failed to deal with it immediately.

At that time, Ye Chuan was just a salesperson who had just joined the company, and it happened that—"

Then, Chen Xiangdong described in detail how Ye Chuan had expressed his opinion to Mr. Xu, and how he was later invited to dinner and received Mr. Xu's approval.

The two directors listened more deeply.

They were very familiar with Mr. Xu's style. He would recognize work results with a serious attitude, and the people who could make him laugh were either very old subordinates or people he admired very much.

Director Hong suddenly asked: "Director Chen, how old is Ye Chuan?"

"He'll be twenty-one in a few days, and he hasn't been working at the recycling company for more than a few months!"

"So young?" Director Yu was even more surprised. The young man in front of him was too amazing.

Chen Xiangdong explained with a wry smile: "Because he has close relations with many of Mr. Xu's business friends, for example, he knows the directors of Bowen Printing Factory, Red Star Steel Factory, and Erdian Factory.

His professional ability is ridiculously strong, and his promotion to deputy director in charge of the work can be said to be an exceptional promotion."

Director Hong nodded in agreement and said, "Well, this makes sense. Everyone should give face to Mr. Xu!"

“But it’s not all like that.

Ye Chuan has close personal relationships with these factory directors, and is even on good terms with Director Sun of the Second Electric Factory. He speaks wisely and does things just right.

My visit today is not just because of Mr. Xu."

When Director Sun was mentioned, Director Hong seemed to be thinking, "You mean the Director Sun who made the best-selling alarm clock at the First Department Store?"

Before Chen Xiangdong could speak, Director Yu interrupted: "This young man is indeed talented, but he is only 21 years old and has little experience. It is questionable whether he is competent for the work of both the business point of the material recycling company and the grassroots supply and marketing cooperative at the same time."

His implication was actually to reject Chen Xiangdong's suggestion, but the other party did not argue, but looked at Director Hong with interest. "Director Hong also knows something about alarm clocks, right?"

“As deputy director of the headquarters, I naturally know the alarm clock.

My son bought one yesterday, saying he wouldn't have to worry about being late anymore.

I woke up this morning and heard an alarm going off in the other room, and it was hard to ignore."

Chen Xiangdong laughed: "Director Yu, Director Hong, you don't know yet, this alarm clock was developed by Erdian with the help of Ye Chuan!"

Director Yu Yuhong was stunned for a moment: "Director Chen, did you get it wrong? It should be Ye Chuan who helped Erdian develop the alarm clock."

Even so, they were still surprised that the deputy director of the recycling company actually understood how the alarm clock worked.

Chen Xiangdong skillfully picked up Director Yu's cigarette from the table, took out a cigarette, lit it, and said, "I'm not wrong. Because a branch of the Beijing Electronics Factory was transformed into the Fourth Electronics Factory, they took away the radio manufacturing work of the Second Electronics Factory. When Director Sun was worried that the workers had nothing to do, Ye Chuan proposed the design of the alarm clock and gave it to Director Sun."

"Are you telling the truth? These are all Ye Chuan's original creations?"

"That's right. The remote control part was developed by Ye Chuan under the remote guidance of the technicians of the Second Electronics Factory. Both the technology and creativity were entirely up to him.

In fact, the Second Electronics Factory is only responsible for assembling the finished products!"

Director Yu and Director Hong exchanged surprised glances. They were both amazed at the talent of this young man.

It is an extraordinary talent for a young man to develop an alarm clock on his own and create a sensation in the market. "Although Ye Chuan lacks experience, his current level is enough to take on his responsibilities!"
