Chapter 15 The Wife of the Fifties (15)

  Lin Jin hurriedly covered her mouth, "How dare you say anything? Don't you see what era it is now? Forget the old sayings. If someone with ulterior motives hears you, you will suffer!"

  Guo Meiyu smiled and pulled her hand down, "I know what I am doing. Isn't this just relaxing in front of you? I always think twice before speaking in front of others."

  Lin Jin breathed a sigh of relief, looked at her friend with some worry, and nodded to the opposite door, "Are you determined to set your sights on him? No longer consider others?"

  "No, who would care about stones when seeing pearls? Mr. Chu is such a good person. If he has a wife and is really happy, then I might consider my own life in the second half."

  "But he is single, right? I only care about him," Guo Meiyu said firmly, and then she smiled and moved closer to Lin Jin, "Good Lin Jin, sister Jin, please help me think of a solution." "You had a lot of tricks back then, and you   even managed

  to win over Wang Xianbing, a high-class beauty. It shouldn't be difficult to find Engineer Chu, right?" Lin Jin pursed her lips. There were only a handful of college students in the factory, and even fewer who were capable, good-looking, and skilled.   Wang Xianbing was one, and Chu Shenyu was another.   But Chu Shenyu was arrogant and dignified, which was the habitual nature of many children from the Kyoto compound.   Lin Jin's family was a little richer and had some connections, but they were all made with money. To put it nicely, they were red capitalists, but they couldn't squeeze into that circle.   She was also arrogant. She didn't get close to Chu Shenyu, but chose Wang Xianbing, a child from a poor family. In her opinion, times have changed, and ability is the first priority.   But she is not a saint, and her feelings towards the opposite door are quite complicated. Maybe I am not worthy of you and can't imagine you, but I don't want to see you happy. I can only live a comfortable life by causing trouble for others.   "Mei Yun, Mr. Chu is a tough guy. Many lesbians want to be his partner, but no one can impress him," Lin Jin chuckled and whispered in her ear.   "So I think he doesn't pay much attention to people's appearance, and maybe he has experienced things in the past, and he doesn't have the same idea about women as men should have about marrying and having children."   "It's difficult to conquer such a person, but it's also easy."   Guo Meiyu's eyes lit up, and she grabbed her arms with both hands, shaking them excitedly: "Sister, my dear sister, don't keep me in suspense, tell me quickly."   "If Mr. Chu and I succeed, we will live across the street, and it will be lively in the future. I will definitely give you, the matchmaker, a big red envelope, and remember your kindness all my life!"   Lin Jin pursed her lips and smiled, "It sounds nice to say, but when you get what you want, you will become a guy who forgets his friends for the sake of a woman, how can you remember me?"   However, she did not wait for Guo Meiyu to urge her, and continued: "We have to try a different way. If, if the rice is cooked in front of everyone, do you think he can deny it?"   Guo Meiyu's not-so-fair face immediately turned red, but her eyes were bright with excitement.   "People's feelings are cultivated. People in the past didn't even meet before marriage, but they still walked together all their lives with bumps and bruises. You and he are both good. After getting married, the young couple should understand and love each other. Why can't they live a prosperous life?"   "Which man doesn't want to live with his wife and children?"   "Men are all children. What conflicts can't be resolved by coaxing them in bed?"   Guo Meiyu nodded continuously, "But, Lin Jin, Engineer Chu is a very self-disciplined person. How can we make it a done deal?"   Lin Jin leaned close to her ear, "Don't many of the family members work in the factory? There is a family member who raises livestock such as pigs, sheep, and cattle. I heard her talking to people. When breeding livestock, a kind of medicine is used. The medicine is very powerful and no one can resist it."   

  "It's only used once, not often, and there are no side effects."

  "But the medicine has to be injected, so it's best to get Engineer Chu drunk first, and give him an injection when he's not paying attention, and the rest will fall into place!"

  Guo Meiyun's cheeks were so hot, "I'll find someone to organize a dinner party," she couldn't help thinking, "Let someone invite Zhu Yun to cook, Engineer Chu will definitely be happy to come."

  "Then everyone will take turns to get him drunk..."

  The two discussed for a long time, and they were bound to take every link into consideration, trying to create the illusion that Engineer Chu was drunk and violent, and Guo Meiyun was weak and forced to obey.

  When Zhu Yun saw the director on duty, she smiled and whispered about the refrigerator.

  "Director, my cooking skills are all practiced little by little. In order not to embarrass you, I practice cooking hard when I get home from work. But you also know that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and many ingredients are not durable..."

  Director Wang listened to her patiently, nodded in appreciation from time to time, and then frowned and worried.

  "Didn't I get some subsidies from my divorce? So I thought that Director knows a lot of people, could you bring me a refrigerator?"

  Director Wang was stunned. Nowadays, big items are bought through connections, such as bicycles, sewing machines, and tape recorders. The more extravagant ones are TV dramas.

  This is the first time someone has asked him to buy a refrigerator.

  "Xiao Zhu, your dedication is commendable. But you live alone, why buy a refrigerator? We have one in the cafeteria, you can just use it!"

  "Director, this is what I want to say. Not only do I want to buy one, but our cafeteria should also buy one or two. I am not only a good cook, but I can also make some snacks."

  "Summer is here, the cafeteria needs some changes, let's have some cold drinks?"

  Director Wang was excited, "Tell me more."

  "Children like to eat popsicles and ice cream. Buying them outside is expensive and unhygienic, so why don't we make them ourselves? Moreover, these things are easy to make and don't cost much. They can be sent to various workshops and factories as employee benefits, which is more practical than anything else!"

  "What can you do?" Director Wang thought along her line of thought and was excited. Even a simple popsicle can get a compliment from people.

  "Popsicles, ice cream, ice bean paste, anyway, depending on the ingredients added, a lot of things can be made."

  "How big a freezer do you buy? I'll make it as big as you want!"

  "Okay, then you think about it first, I'll go ask the leader," Director Wang walked straight to the office building without stopping.

  Cold drinks are just a small thing. The factory will definitely not merge into a cold drink factory because of Zhu Yun's idea. It's just a few freezers invested, and then let the employees in the cafeteria work overtime.

  So the people above approved it very happily.

  Director Wang took the approval slip to find Chu Shenyu again.
