Chapter 10 My Mom Was a Factory Manager in the 1970s
When they saw that the gift was a watch, everyone was happy, but they all felt it was too expensive and dared not accept it.
"Youyou, this is too much of a waste. We appreciate your kindness, but you should take the things back."
Upon learning it was a watch, Lin Youyou felt a pang of heartache for a moment, but since she had already given it away, why would she take it back? That wasn't her style.
"It's alright, everyone please accept these. These are just a small token of my mother's appreciation. Why are you all making them sound so precious? Please accept them."
"Hehe, Youyou, then we won't stand on ceremony."
"Then please thank Auntie for us."
Lin Youyou smiled and nodded, but after looking around, she still couldn't see Lu Huai, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Just then, a figure appeared in the distance.
Approaching from afar, it's like a spring breeze.
He was dressed simply and elegantly, wearing a white sweater with a slightly rounded neckline that revealed his slender neck, adding a touch of casualness and ease.
He paired his outfit with blue jeans, the lines of which accentuated his straight legs, making him appear even taller and more slender.
Although his overall attire was simple, it subtly conveyed a sense of confidence and composure.
Liu Qianqian, who had just been looking angry, walked up to him with a shy expression.
"Lu Huai, you're here."
Lu Huai nodded and walked towards his classmates. However, when he passed Lin Youyou, his gaze paused for a moment before naturally turning away.
Lu Huai greeted everyone, and once everyone had arrived, the students headed to the agreed-upon restaurant for dinner.
Lin Youyou barely dared to look at Lu Huai throughout, because it's hard to act in front of someone you truly like.
After the meal, most people had left, but Lin Youyou made an excuse to stay until the very end. She still wanted to muster up the courage to try and win them over.
"Lu Huai, do you have anything else to do later? I have something to tell you."
"No."
Lu Huai awkwardly pushed up his glasses and said to Lin Youyou.
Let's go sit in the park next door.
"Okay, let's go."
Lin Youyou smiled happily after receiving a response and walked ahead excitedly.
Sitting on a park bench with Lu Huai, Lin Youyou hesitated at the last minute, having drafted her words in her mind for a long time, before turning around and taking out the gift.
"Nothing else, I just forgot to give you the gift. Everyone else received one, so don't misunderstand."
After saying that, Lin Youyou wanted to leave, but Lu Huai grabbed her wrist.
"Lin Youyou, don't you have anything else to say?"
Lin Youyou hesitated for a moment but still didn't say anything, which made Xiao Qi, who was watching the live broadcast through the telescope, very anxious.
[Master, it turns out Lin Youyou likes someone else, but why doesn't she say it?]
[Oh no! Happiness level has dropped by 10%, Master! Think of something quickly!]
[Xiao Qi, cast a truth charm on Youyou]
[Received, mantra being deployed.]
Lin Youyou meant to say it was nothing, but what came out of her mouth was "I like you".
Lin Youyou was extremely shocked and hurriedly tried to explain, but the more she spoke, the more flustered she became.
"No, I was lying. Although I do like you, no, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Lu Huai, who had been all smiles, suddenly frowned.
"Why can't we take it seriously? You threw away the love letters I wrote to you before, and then you got engaged to someone else. What right do I have to talk to you?"
"Why are you saying these things now? Doesn't your fiancé mind?"
Lin Youyou looked at Lu Huai in surprise.
"What love letter? I didn't receive any. If I had received one, how could I have gotten engaged to Xiao Yi and broken off the engagement?"
Lin Youyou looked at Lu Huai's surprised expression and lowered her head helplessly, but she also missed Lu Huai's ecstatic expression.
Before she could continue to let her mind wander, Lu Huai gently rubbed the top of her head.
"Alright, now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, Youyou, are you willing to start over with me?"
Lin Youyou raised her head in disbelief, took a step forward, and cautiously reached out to hug Lu Huai.
"I do, I do."
[Host, you're amazing! Your happiness level has increased by an extra 5%, now it's at 95%!]
[While Xiaoqi was happily watching, she inadvertently noticed a figure behind the big tree behind Youyou and Lu Huai. Who could it be?]
[It's Liu Qianqian, host. Someone is eavesdropping on Youyou and the others' conversation.]
Looking at Liu Qianqian's ferocious expression, Si Yan didn't expect her to be so malicious towards Youyou, considering Liu Qianqian's background.
Si Yan thought for a moment and decided to first independently develop the machinery that the country needed at this stage, so as to increase her own voice and not be so passive.
However, Si Yan asked you why you felt so uncomfortable seeing Lin Youyou and Lu Huai hugging.
Si Yan immediately informed the housekeeper that they could go and pick up the young lady to go home.
When the housekeeper arrived, Lin Youyou was having a heart-to-heart talk with Lu Huai. She felt she had so much to say to him.
But thinking that her mother was still waiting for her at home, she could only say goodbye to Lu Huai, get in the car, and go home.
The next day, Si Yan went to the machinery factory and arranged for Deputy Factory Director Yan to notify the factory's technical staff to hold a meeting.
"Hello everyone, I'm sure you're all wondering why I called this meeting. I have some documents here for you to look at first."
"These are some machine parts I researched before. Please take a look and see how feasible they are. Don't hold back, just tell the truth."
"Factory manager, this one is actually a diesel engine, and its performance and various indicators are far superior to those of German engines."
"If we can successfully develop it, our factory's R&D funding will definitely rank first in the province this year, and we'll never be at the bottom again."
"Old Wang, that's not all. Here are also the technical specifications and parts processing drawings for fans and refrigerators. With these, we can even go abroad to earn foreign exchange."
