Chapter 489: Chapter 488: Borrowing the East Wind and Donating a Son

Lin Nianhe exchanged a glance with the man holding the megaphone who had been standing resolutely in front of the crowd.

As Chen Dabao brandished a knife and charged over, he spread his arms, fearlessly protecting the women. If Lin Nianhe’s dagger had been two seconds late, he would have been the first to bleed.

At this moment, he looked at Lin Nianhe, pursed his lips and, in an attempt to connect, made exaggerated facial expressions and winked at her.

Apparently fearing Lin Nianhe might not feel his intense emotions, the young man’s winking was exaggerated, his face scrunching up as he did so.

Lin Nianhe: "..."

The extras that come with the deal are somewhat unreliable.

Fortunately, the Factory Director and others weren’t focused on the young man, and since he was there to report something, his grim expression somewhat fit the situation.

Their attitude reassured Lin Nianhe a lot. She quietly shifted her gaze and bade farewell to the Public Security officer and the Factory Director again.

"I’ll walk you out, I’ll walk you out!"

"I’ll walk with you a bit longer..."

"You’ve just arrived, just in case you get lost..."

The Factory Director accompanied Lin Nianhe back to the railway guesthouse, where they happened to meet Chen Peiyuan who had just returned with the Steel Factory Director from the Liao Province Railway Bureau.

"Nianhe is back."

Upon seeing Lin Nianhe, Chen Peiyuan’s tense expression instantly softened. He glanced at the Food Factory Director closely following Lin Nianhe and guessed the situation, but he didn’t clarify his identity, instead he showed concern by asking Lin Nianhe, "Were you busy all morning? Haven’t you had lunch yet?"

"Mm, I haven’t eaten yet." Lin Nianhe smiled, walking over to Chen Peiyuan, and warmly greeted the Steel Factory Director, whom she was meeting for the first time, "Hello, Uncle."

"Hello there."

The Steel Factory Director, surnamed Sun, was skinny, but his face was round like Maitreya Buddha’s, as if all his flesh had concentrated there. His smile was especially warm, making one feel good instantly.

Factory Director Sun didn’t pay attention to the Food Factory Director and continued to speak to Lin Nianhe on his own, "I saw the hand-operated threshing machine from Beijing Machinery Factory, Old Chang said it was your design, such talent you have, young lady! If you have time these days, come visit our Steel Factory. Our canteen’s head chef is really good, you must come try."

Beside them, the Food Factory Director’s eyes twinkled, involuntarily glaring at Factory Director Sun.

Lin Nianhe leaving the Food Factory without having lunch, no matter the reason, was his oversight in hospitality.

He had realized this when Chen Peiyuan asked if Lin Nianhe had eaten, but it was already too late to remedy it. At this point, for Factory Director Sun to add insult to injury, glaring at him was mild.

Factory Director Sun still ignored him, looking at Lin Nianhe affectionately.

"Thank you, Uncle, but recently I have to help a friend take care of her younger sister, so I might not have much time," Lin Nianhe replied gracefully. "However, I will be attending the Spring Trade Fair next month, please don’t find me bothersome then; you must teach me more about steel."

"Hahaha, Old Chang said you are Old Rongzi’s last and best apprentice, do I even need to teach you?"

"Master is skilled, but our Xi City Steel Factory is the nation’s leader, and when it comes to knowledge on steel materials, you are truly the expert."

"This kid really knows how to chat," Factory Director Sun patted his chest, promising Lin Nianhe, "Our factory’s chief engineer will also be at the Spring Trade Fair, I will arrange it so anything you want to ask, let him tell you!"

"Thank you, Uncle, you are truly the best Steel Factory Director I have ever met!"

"Hahahaha..."

Factory Director Sun laughed for a while before remembering the person next to him: "Old Wang, what are you doing here?"

The expression of Old Wang, the director of the food factory, turned awkward, his mouth twitching twice.

What else could he be doing here? He was shocked!

He was shocked by Lin Nianhe’s identity, who could call leaders from the provincial city "Uncle," attend the Spring Trade Fair, and also had a deep connection with the machinery factory in Beijing...

He was equally stunned by Lin Nianhe’s way of speaking. It turns out this girl can sweet-talk so well when chatting! He couldn’t see at all that she had just covertly threatened him with her smile!

"Factory Director Comrade was worried I might get lost or encounter danger, so he specifically came to see me off," Lin Nianhe said with a smile, looking at Factory Director Wang, helping him out of the awkward situation. "By the way, Uncle Chen, the food factory has urgent matters this afternoon and won’t be able to have you over for the inspection, but you can rest assured and return to the provincial city. After I finish the inspection, I will write a detailed report for you."

Listening to Lin Nianhe’s words, Factory Director Wang felt both joy and sorrow.

He was glad that she actually helped him out;

But he was saddened that she had still not forgotten to hint at him to quickly handle the Chen family’s siblings situation.

Chen Peiyuan glanced at Factory Director Wang, slightly frowned, then nodded: "That’s fine, I trust Nianhe with the task, let’s go with that."

His main purpose for coming to Xi City was to discuss the transportation of steel materials with the steel factory, as some objective factors required adjustments to the transportation time and routes of Xi City Steel Factory. This could have been handled by his subordinates, but since he was free today and the provincial city was close to Xi City, and direct communication between leaders was more convenient, he personally came over.

Of course, using Lin Nianhe’s help to gain an advantage was also one of the reasons.

Factory Director Wang, unaware of these underlying reasons and seeing that the leader was not blaming him, grinned and said with a dry laugh: "Leader, rest assured, I will actively cooperate with Comrade Xiao Lin’s work."

"Mmm, then you can go busy yourself," Chen Peiyuan nodded at him and gave him a dismissal.

"Okay, okay!"

Factory Director Wang knew he couldn’t delay the matter regarding the Chen family’s siblings any longer and quickly made his way back on his legs.

Not long after he left, Factory Director Sun also excused himself.

After all the outsiders left, Lin Nianhe then smilingly said to Chen Peiyuan: "Uncle Chen, I really can’t thank you enough."

"You’re welcome, it’s nothing at all," Chen Peiyuan smiled and shook his head and remembering his son was still outside, he asked, "Chen Ming hasn’t given you any trouble, has he?"

"Of course not, Chen Ming has been doing great."

Chen Ming, was the unlucky fellow who last year from a "lake jumping" incident landed on a boat with three people, also the trumpet man who just made eye contact well-known.

Originally, Chen Ming’s mother, Li Juan, as a token of gratitude for saving her son’s life, had bought many things for Lin Nianhe, and mentioned to Lin Nianhe that her husband worked at the Liao Province Railway Bureau.

A few days ago, Lin Nianhe and Wen Lan went to the provincial city specifically to find Li Juan.

Through the phone number Li Juan had left them, they successfully located the Chen family and got to know Chen Peiyuan.

Of course, Lin Nianhe wasn’t exploiting their gratitude to seek favors, she had legitimate business—transporting goods for the Head Flower of the textile factory.

Once the new factory building was completed, the output of the textile factory would double, and they would eventually sell across the country, which necessitated a formidable transportation network.

This was an area where Liao Province excelled, as not only because of steel transportation needs across the country had they developed comprehensive routes, but also the port in Bin City enabled waterway transportation.

Lin Nianhe spent a day and a half with Chen Peiyuan to settle the transportation issues and took another fifteen minutes to explain her personal matter.

Chen Peiyuan, recalling his son’s lake jumping incident, not only agreed to lend Lin Nianhe a helping hand but also offered his support by involving his elder son in the cause.
