Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 90

Chapter 90: I Really Thank You

Everyone happily came to the oil pressing workshop to exchange tofu for work points.

Song Chu chatted with the villagers, while Song Lao Si brought Gao Zhengping in. He was carrying many things in his hands.

“Xiao Mei, Director Gao is here to see you.” He happened to meet Gao Zhengping at the village entrance, so he brought him over.

Song Chu stood up and greeted him with a smile, “Why is Director Gao here?”

Gao Zhengping smiled and handed over the gifts he was carrying, “Last time, because of the rush, I didn’t have time to properly thank Comrade Song. So I made a special trip today.”

“You’re too kind.” Song Chu didn’t refuse and accepted the things he handed over.

“Let’s sit inside.”

“Okay.”

The two walked into Song Chu’s separate office in the workshop, which had just been built recently.

Gao Zhengping smiled and said, “Are you distributing tofu? It looks very lively.”

Song Chu nodded, “Yes, we just tried making tofu today, so I let the villagers exchange it for work points.”

“Comrade Song, you are young, but you are very capable.” Gao Zhengping previously thought that the oil pressing workshop was just a small operation, but he didn’t expect it to be all brick and tile houses, looking quite impressive.

Not only pressing oil, but also making tofu.

He heard Song Lao Si bragging that day, saying that Song Chu’s oil pressing workshop had cooperation with several other factories in the county town. He also went to inquire about it these past two days, and it was all true.

He thought for a moment and said, “Comrade Song, I heard that you have cooperation with other factories. Would you like to bring some oil and tofu to our factory to exchange for things?”

“Iron pots, kitchen knives, anything is fine.” He added a sentence, otherwise, their factory seemed to have nothing else to exchange.

Song Chu smiled lightly, “Sure! Besides iron pots and kitchen knives, can we also exchange for some discarded or not commonly used steel bars from your factory?”

Gao Zhengping asked curiously, “Steel bars? What do you want to do?”

“I want to build a few greenhouses, so I need steel bars to make the frames. As long as they can support it, there are no requirements for quality.” Song Chu wanted to grow greenhouse vegetables.

Gao Zhengping thought she wanted to build a shed, “This is no problem. I will arrange it then.”

“Director Gao, have you ever thought about improving the steel in your factory?” Song Chu asked.

Speaking of this, Gao Zhengping sighed, “Of course, we have. But the country currently lacks technical talents in this area, especially in our factory.”

Now the largest steel factory in the province hasn’t made much progress in this area, let alone them.

“I can introduce you to someone who might be able to help.” Song Chu had many plans, but she also needed a lot of machines to support them.

Judging from the current model, level, and quality of steel and alloys, they simply couldn’t meet the requirements for making machines, so she had to start from the basics.

Besides, the steel industry abroad was much more advanced than in China. She felt that they could completely fight for it, narrow the gap, and surpass the other side in the future.

Gao Zhengping suddenly became interested, “Comrade Song knows someone in this field?”

“Educated Youth Gu from our village knows about this. He can also design and modify machines.”

Song Chu continued, “He is now also the technical consultant for our oil pressing workshop and the breeding farm. How about I call him over to talk to you?”

“Okay, that would be great, Comrade Song.” Gao Zhengping still trusted Song Chu now.

Although he felt that the possibility of improving steel was not very high, he was willing to meet the comrade she introduced.

Song Chu got up and went to a separate office in the courtyard, which was specially for Gu Yue.

He was holding a pen and calculating something at the moment. He looked up when he heard footsteps.

Song Chu leaned against the door with a smile on her face, “Gu, the Academic God, I’ve found a good job for you.”

Gu Yue: “……” He felt like he was being tricked by someone again.

◈◈◈

“Tell me, what are you up to now?”

Song Chu smiled and said, “The director of the steel factory is now in my office. I recommended you to him to help them improve their steel.”

Recently, whenever Gu Yue was at the oil pressing workshop, he was with her, looking through books and materials about steel and aluminum alloys in the space.

“Aluminum alloy is related to aviation, aerospace, automobiles, machinery manufacturing, shipbuilding, the chemical industry, etc. As long as you can develop a new type of aluminum alloy, you will be a meritorious official and may even be recorded in history.”

“How about that? I’m good to you, right?” She even took credit.

Gu Yue was at a loss for words, “I really thank you.”

This woman just kept finding things for him to do, but he couldn’t refuse.

Whether he would be a meritorious official or recorded in history, he didn’t care. But he hoped that they wouldn’t lag behind foreign countries so much, and even one day achieve technological leadership.

Judging from the books and materials in Song Chu’s library, as long as there was a place to implement it, this day could definitely be realized.

Song Chu asked, “He wants to talk to you, what do you think?”

Gu Yue got up and smiled wryly, “You’ve already sold me out, can I still say no?”

Song Chu glared at him, “Gu, the Academic God, you’re not using the right words. What do you mean by selling you out? I’m doing this to help you go national and global.”

“A capable genius like you, if you were buried, what a pity that would be. It would be a huge loss to the country.”

Gu Yue’s talent in science and engineering, as well as his comprehension and practical skills, were the best she had ever seen. He was a proper cross-domain genius. How could she waste his talent?

Gu Yue was full of helplessness, “Okay, I thank you for your support.”

When this woman wanted to use him, she could make it sound like a flower.

The two went to Song Chu’s office, talking and laughing. Gu Yue and Gao Zhengping sat down and started chatting.

Before, Gao Zhengping thought that Gu Yue might only know a little bit. But after an in-depth conversation, he found that he was very knowledgeable and professional about steel.

Especially in the area of aluminum alloys, he had very deep and innovative insights.

This made him take it seriously. Maybe he could really dig up a treasure this time.

While they were talking inside, the people exchanging tofu outside were also curious.

“Lao Si, who is that person? I heard you call him Director just now.” Someone asked Song Lao Si.

Song Lao Si had long wanted to brag. Now that someone had set the stage, he immediately jumped on it, “He is the director of our county’s steel factory.”

“What? The director of the steel factory? You know such a person?” The steel factory was the largest factory in their county. Many people tried to get in but couldn’t.

Everyone didn’t expect Song Chu to know the director of the steel factory. Judging from the director’s appearance just now, he was very polite to her.

Song Lao Si raised his head and puffed out his chest proudly, “Of course, he came here today specifically to thank my little sister.”

“Ah, why thank Song Chu?” Everyone asked.

Song Lao Si rolled his eyes at that person, “Can I tell you that?”

“Anyway, you just need to know that my Meier has a wide network of connections.”

Then he said in a manner of pointing out the way, “In the future, my sister will have great prospects and can also take you along to eat some meat. Be smart in the future and don’t drag my sister down.”
