Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

"Where did Director Su find such an advanced mid-range ballistic missile design?"

A key technical staff member looked at the design drawing bitterly, not knowing how to understand this high technology for a moment, and was shocked in his heart.

They had thought the design was merely complicated, but it turned out to be far more advanced than anything the ** factory had ever produced before.

"This design by the factory director is not ordinary. Its level is far higher than the ** technology we are currently producing."

"What kind of background does the factory director have? How could he get such advanced ** designs?"

After looking at each other, their eyes were filled with an irrepressible desire, and the silence was finally broken by a person who once had the highest status.

"You are all old members of the ** factory. You all know the confidentiality regulations that need to be followed. There is no need to elaborate on them."

"All matters related to ** in the future shall be kept confidential and will not be mentioned in any occasion."

"At the same time, please cooperate with the security department to ensure that the security measures are foolproof!"

"Remember these eight words: 'Forge swords for the country, and hide your identity'!"

As soon as the backbone member finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room became particularly solemn, followed by a neat and solemn shout.

"Forge swords for the country, and keep your identity secret!"

This was the unique spiritual pursuit of that era.

As for Su Chen at this time, he was completely unaware of what was happening behind the scenes and the many speculations of the technicians. He was holding the newly acquired things and preparing to find Yang Xue.

A few days ago, Su Chen went to Guangzhou, where he found something very rare in this era. He didn't expect that he could see it so early, and he was very surprised and excited, so he decisively bought this trendy item: a fashionable black shoe.

As a window city for opening up to the outside world, Guangzhou has many foreign friends. In addition, Guangzhou is not as conservative as the capital due to its status as an administrative center. Most of the latest fashion elements can find followers in Guangzhou. Therefore, Su Chen was lucky enough to buy this fashionable black pair of shoes. When he saw the black pair of shoes in the store, he immediately thought of Yang Xue.

Yang Xue had very beautiful legs. When Yang Xue stayed at his house for two days, Su Chen couldn't help but imagine how pleasing it would be if she wore this kind of **. However, he had visited many department stores and clothing stores before, but couldn't find any place selling this kind of thing, so he mistakenly thought that this fashion was not popular in this era.

If he hadn't gone to Yangcheng, perhaps he wouldn't have had the opportunity to let Yang Xue wear black underwear. Su Chen was very excited to imagine the scene of those slender legs being put into delicate black silk.

But he had been busy with work recently and had no time to give this precious gift to Yang Xue. It was not until today that he finally finished all the tasks at hand that he hurried back to the old house and took out the exquisite gift box containing the black **. He immediately rushed to find Yang Xue. At first, it was just a sudden thought, but the more he yearned for that scene, the more he could not hold back, so he immediately went out to the old house that Yang Xue was preparing to sell to him.

As a young person who returned to China after studying abroad, Yang Xue must have come into contact with many images of charming women wearing ** overseas.

Su Chen expected that she would appreciate such a combination, because she had shown the same sense of fashion when she was older in a drama that Su Chen had seen. However, he was not sure whether Yang Xue, who was still young, would agree to his wish, but he believed that Yang Xue would not refuse this small request based on their recent interactions.

So he took the packing box and got on a taxi.

Arriving at the location, he saw Yang Xue directing the workers to prepare for the renovation of the old house. The whole room was busy with construction. Seeing this, Su Chen decided to wait until he was alone with Yang Xue before presenting the gift box.

"Hey, Yang Xue!"

When Yang Xue heard the voice, she turned around and saw that it was Su Chen. She asked with a happy expression: "Why are you here? Don't you have a lot of things to deal with in the factory?" Su Chen responded with a smile and walked a few steps closer and said.

"I have taken care of all the things at the factory. Isn't our new home being renovated? I want to take you to pick out some decorations for the home."

After hearing Su Chen's words, Yang Xue's face immediately broke out into a happy smile. She originally planned to take care of all the decoration of the new home.

After all, Su Chen is very busy as the factory director, and as an amateur translator she has relatively ample time and can definitely find time to supervise the progress of the renovation.

Now the attention and care Su Chen showed to his new home made her feel sweet, and the word "we" planted the seeds of happiness in her heart.

"Let's go after the construction team has demolished this area." Yang Xue suppressed her inner excitement and said to Su Chen with a smile.

Then she waited patiently and supervised the workers to be more careful when demolishing. After a while, the last wall was demolished and she breathed a sigh of relief. "Sorry to have kept you waiting. We can leave now."

The decorators still needed to clean up the construction waste, so Yang Xue didn't need to be on site at this time. So she could go out on a date with Su Chen without any worries.

Unexpectedly, their first date was to choose decorations for their new house together.

"I remember the new Chinese style indicated on the design. Since I have decided to decorate my home with this theme, it would look better if I bought some old cultural relics as decorations."

Su Chen revealed this idea to Yang Xue.

Although the house itself was not expensive, since Yang Xue planned the decoration so carefully, he decided to put in some effort to show his seriousness.

Yang Xue's eyes lit up when she heard this: "That's exactly what I want. I also think that such a transformation needs some traditional cultural elements to set it off."

After that, he pondered for a moment and asked Su Chen: "But these cultural relics are usually expensive. Isn't it a bit too extravagant to spend so much money on jewelry?"

Even though the two have not yet entered the marriage hall, Yang Xue already regards Su Chen's wealth as her own and makes careful budgeting for the latter.

Facing her worries, Su Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Don't worry, I can still afford a few small antiques."

After he became the factory director, he gave himself a good salary, and with the money he had received privately from Camel Country officials and his Ethiopian friends in the past, his financial accumulation was even more substantial than the woman had estimated.

Even a small amount of money for antique purchases is not a problem for him, but such a small amount is a large sum for others.

Yang Xue felt a little relieved after receiving the reply.

"Don't push yourself too hard. If you don't have enough funds to buy antiques, I can contribute some of the money." As the heir to the president of Yang Enterprise, Yang Xue is also wealthy. Although she has limited cash on hand, the amount on her card is considerable, so she has no pressure to buy cultural relics.

Feeling this delicate and thoughtful affection, Su Chen couldn't help but hold Yang Xue's hand tightly and said:

"Don't worry, this little money is not a problem for me. Since the decoration is handed over to you, there is no need to report to me about the selection of decorations."

Hearing Su Chen say this, Yang Xue could only nod.

She felt the warmth from Su Chen's tightly held hand, and her heart was filled with sweetness. The two went downstairs together, and Yang Xue drove Su Chen to Zhangjiayuan, which was an antique street in the old city.

At this time, the place was not as bustling as it would be later, and was limited to a few circles. After Yang Xue led Su Chen out of the car, the two found that there were not many people here.

"Many people come to this home to shop, but I don't know much about antiques and can't tell the real from the fake."

Yang Xue smiled and led Su Chen into Zhangjiayuan.

"But I still like to come here and look around. Sometimes I can find some inspiration. Do you know anything about antiques?"

Su Chen shook his head and looked around Zhangjiayuan, which was not as prosperous as it would be in the future.

"I don't know much about antiques myself. Do you think we need to put some of those 'simulated' ones made by Liulichang in our new house?"

When Yang Xue heard him ask this, she revealed the innocent look of a little girl.

"I was originally planning to go to Liulichang to find some fake antiques, but since you wanted the real thing, I brought you here."

Su Chen smiled and said.

"Although we can't tell the true value of antiques, it would not be good if people who know the value of antiques see a room full of imitations. So we might as well buy some real ones."

She nodded in agreement.

"I thought the same thing. Now that your steel mill is doing better and better, your reputation will naturally improve. If others see those fake antiques in your home, they will inevitably look down on you."

The two walked in Zhangyuan Garden, and Su Chen was not prepared to buy those street goods. He always felt that these things were most likely counterfeit.

Even though some of them looked like newly unearthed bronze or porcelain artifacts, Su Chen didn't think they were real ancient objects.

Seeing him browsing the things in the stalls, Yang Xue said.

"Would you like to take a look at these goods? It would be nice to just broaden your horizons. I heard this from an antique dealer I'm familiar with. What he meant by broadening your horizons was to increase your knowledge."

Su Chen nodded thoughtfully.

"No, I'm not interested in these. Since you brought me here, you must have a reliable way to find the real thing, right?"

Yang Xue nodded.

"As expected, you figured it out. My father has a friend who opened an antique shop there. The things you buy in his shop will definitely not be fake."

The two continued to move forward and finally stopped in a more remote corner. Yang Xue took Su Chen into an antique shop called Jubaozhai.

The sound of wind chimes was heard and two people walked into the store.

Various ceramics and handicrafts are displayed in the house, scattered and irregular.

When Su Chen entered the door, he immediately smelled the strong smell of earth and the heavy sense of history brought by countless old objects.

"Xiaoxue, why did you think of coming here today?"

The boss heard the sound of wind chimes and looked up, only to see Yang Xue walking into the store with a stranger. He walked forward to greet them with a smile on his face.

"Uncle Wang, I want to pick a few things from you today." Yang Xue said a little shyly.

Boss Wang understood what was going on when he saw the two men. But he did not point it out, but asked.

"Are you going to give it to someone else, or keep it at home for your own enjoyment?"

"The new house has just been renovated, and I want to put a few things to calm the dormant mood." Su Chen continued.

The antique shop owner looked at Su Chen, nodded and said.
