Chapter 138
Luo Zemin shook his head as he spoke, as if what Xu Wen said was a pie-in-the-sky scenario that simply couldn’t be realized
“I believe what you said” Xu Wen was unimpressed, “Because the first one in the world hasn’t been built yet So do you want to be this first?”
“Your sister really knows how to joke” Luo Zemin laughed and pointed at Xu Man to Xu Wen
After laughing for a while, he realized that he was the only one laughing, and everyone else was looking at him seriously
Luo Zemin: “”
He wanted to laugh at someone else, but instead he became a joke in someone else’s eyes
The smile on his face gradually froze, and then stared wide-eyed, with a face of incredulity: “No way? Are you guys serious?”
Xu Wen nodded
Luo Zemin was indeed a bit of a northern man, and without further ado, he put down his chopsticks and held out his hand, “Can you show me the list of accessories and sketches that you need?”
Xu Wen glanced at Lu Yuanzheng, who nodded
Xu Man opened his satchel and put a few sheets of paper in Luo Zemin’s hand
Luo Zemin looked very carefully, and his face was particularly rich in expression, frowning at one time, marveling at another, looking sad at another, and looking puzzled at another
His face was like a color palette
Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Wen were fine, they just watched him silently, not in a hurry
It was Xu Wen, whose emotions were driven by Luo Zemin’s expression, who put his hands on his knees and clasped them tightly
Only after a while did Luo Zemin reluctantly put these things down, shaking his head with an apologetic expression: ”I’m sorry! This is indeed a good thing you have here It’s the first time I’ve seen this kind of idea in all my years of practice, and it’s especially rare If I can be the first to build it, it will definitely leave a name in the printer industry But what you want is not the same as a printer, even though it’s the same principle The requirements for accessories are also higher”
Xu Wen was instantly disappointed
Xu Wen pursued, “Comrade Luo, can you think of another way? My sister and the others really need it urgently”
Luo Zemin glanced at Xu Wen, not knowing if it was because he was short on words, he didn’t flatly reject Xu Wen, and after a brief moment of embarrassment, he picked up the information Xu Man had given him and read it again
This time, he took longer, holding the book in one hand and unconsciously scribbling on the table with the other
Both Xu Wen and Lu Yuanzheng relaxed their bodies, and even their expressions eased slightly
Xu Wen glanced at them, not quite understanding how the two of them managed to look as relaxed as if they were guests
It was as if it didn’t matter whether this was a success or not
After Xu Wen withdrew his gaze, he looked straight at Luo Zemin, not missing a single micro-expression on his face
Xu Wen wasn’t in a hurry, but she just didn’t think there was any use in being in a hurry
She was even mentally prepared to ask at another house if Luo Zemin didn’t help
After all, it was good to find foreigners here
It’s not that Xu Man is pandering to foreigners
Now many people in the country have never seen a lot of things in foreign countries have begun to popularize, such as microwave ovens such as small electrical appliances or large automobiles and other heavy industrial products
We are temporarily behind this is true, and sooner or later will catch up with the international top level
Forced by time pressure is also no way
Besides, the most important thing is to solve the problem, for businessmen, as long as it does not involve the national righteousness, there is only a difference between the seller and the buyer
Xu asked this printer is built for the country, but in addition to their own people no one else knows Foreigners will only take this as a commodity
As a matter of fact, 3d printers are really used for commercial purposes, such as the medical industry, the automobile industry or the construction industry
After waiting for a long time, Luo Zemin opened his mouth, this time a lot more cautious, still shaking his head: “This, I’m afraid our factory really won’t take it It’s something we’ve never done before, and in order to do this we’d probably have to need to invest a lot of manpower and resources”
Xu Wen raised an eyebrow, “Money is not a problem”
Saying that made him want to laugh a little, he had actually had a day where he was so grandiose
Luo Zemin shook his head, “It’s not just a matter of money This thing I currently can’t see where the practical significance lies And it’s just one unit, it’s not appropriate to ask for a high price, and we can’t do it if we ask for a low price”
The price/performance ratio was too low
Xu Wen was anxious: “Comrade Luo, just help out for the sake of being old folks”
“Xu brother you first do not be anxious I didn’t say I don’t care” Luo Zemin raised his hand to signal Xu Wen to be at ease, “Our company definitely doesn’t do it But I can help”
“What do you mean?” Xu Wen eagerly pursued
“I’ve come step by step from being a worker on the production line to sitting in this position today Without bragging, there’s no position on the production floor that I haven’t done before If there’s only one printer, if I can buy all the raw materials I can make it for you all by myself”
Xu Wen breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s a big thank you!”
“One person?” Lu Yuanzheng frowned, “Wouldn’t it be a bit slow in terms of efficiency? We do have an urgent need”
Luo Zemin thought about it again and returned, “I’ve brought a few disciples, so I know the ropes When the time comes and we’re really in a hurry I can ask them to help me out on a personal basis”
Lu Yuanzheng nodded, indicating that he was fine with it
Xu Wen added, “There’s one more thing I need to trouble you with Try to keep this matter a secret for us”
Luo Zemin nodded, “Alright, no problem”
Xu Man opened his bag and took out a thousand dollars and placed it on the table, “This is the deposit If you can’t find us in the middle if you’re short of money, you can go to my brother’s place to get it”
Xu Wen was a bit vain, this outburst was a thousand dollars, which he didn’t have
He made money by the dime
However, since Xu Wen opened his mouth, Xu Wen still nodded his head painfully, “Right! You come to me You know where my store is anyway”
Luo Zemin responded
Xu Wen got up to say goodbye after they thanked him again and again
Before leaving, Xu Man instructed him again, “Please hurry up a bit If there are any raw materials missing that you don’t have yourself, please ask someone to buy them, and we’ll pay for them”
Luo Zemin patted his chest and assured, “Don’t worry, I won’t drop the chain”
The three people went out of the factory door
Xu Wen lightly patted Xu Wen’s shoulder, “Brother, I owe a big favor this time I’m afraid you and my sister-in-law will have to pay it back”
Xu Wen wasn’t that mute, or else he wouldn’t have been able to make a success of his business
He shook his head, “What’s the difference between you and me? Don’t worry, I’ll come and bring him food whenever I’m free these days By the way, I’m urging him to hurry up a bit”
Xu Wen gave a thumbs up towards Xu Wen
Lu Yuanzheng said, “Delivering food is fine, but there’s no need to push him This Luo Zemin doesn’t seem like the unreliable type It’s not good to rush too often”
Xu Wen hummed, “Don’t worry! I’m not stupid”
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
Xu Wen shook his head, these two had to act like children from time to time, one second they were good brothers the next they were arguing
Lu Yuanzheng glanced at Xu Man, and was particularly generous in not bothering with Xu Wen
Who let him be his great-uncle
Oh, second uncle!
Xu Wen raised her wrist and looked at her watch, it was already past two in the afternoon She said that she wanted to go and bring her sisters-in-law some essentials and raw materials for handicrafts
Xu Wen left the tricycle with them and went back to the restaurant himself
There was still business to be done in the store, and Sang Xiaoqing was afraid she wouldn’t be able to keep up with it all by herself
He couldn’t afford to be delayed for business, but he still had to get back to his business after the matter was settled
Lu Yuanzheng called out to Xu Wen, “Second brother, if we can’t make it in time later, we won’t go to say goodbye to you”
He pulled out another five thousand dollars from his shirt pocket and handed it to Xu Wen
Xu Wen had never seen such a thick stack of Duanjie before and panicked, waving his hand, “I can’t take it”
“It’s not for you Did you forget to tell Luo Zemin that he didn’t have enough money to find you? That thing may need a little more money, you and your sister-in-law is a small business can not advance” Xu asked
Xu Wen touched the back of his head and laughed twice, “Almost forgot about it”
Seeing so much money for the first time, a little shocked
“Also ,” Xu Wen pointed to the pile of money he had just received, “I still have a few materials I need you to buy for me”
“You say”
Xu Man took out a pen and paper from his bag and wrote out the metal materials he wanted and handed them to Xu Wen, “These few You take your time to inquire first Some are not easy to buy In addition, if you can buy them, I hope the other party supplies them in powder form There are many foreigners here, second brother will have to work hard for you”
“Isn’t this a bit of an out-of-the-way thing to say? You are my sister! What’s hard work about it?”
Lu Yuanzheng pulled a pen and paper from Xu Wen’s hand and wrote another phone number for Xu Wen, “But whenever you have an inkling, or if you have any difficulties, call this number Although it’s not a phone number on Rainbow Island, if it’s related to the printer, they’ll definitely help you find a solution if you ask, and they’ll also notify me”
Xu Wen nodded, indicating that he knew
After the three parted ways, Xu Wen went shopping with Lu Yuanzheng
Everyone hadn’t left the island for a week or two, so there were a bit too many things to piggyback on, so it was fortunate that there was this tricycle Xu Wen had left behind
With a bucket full, Xu Man could only sit on the edge of the armrest
When passing by a hospital, Xu Wen suddenly called out to stop
Lu Yuanzheng pulled over to the side of the road and asked suspiciously, “What’s wrong?”
“A sister-in-law asked me to bring her a box of medicine, wait for me for a while” Xu Wen finished jumping off the tricycle and ran towards the hospital
Lu Yuanzheng didn’t think much about it, sitting on the tricycle, one long leg pointing to the ground, took out a cigarette and lit one, halfway through the cigarette suddenly realized that something was wrong
Buy medicine should go to the pharmacy, why go to the hospital?
He extinguished the cigarette and ran to the hospital, ran a few steps and backtracked, pushed the tricycle to the entrance of the communication room, let the grandpa help look at it, before running in
I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to do this, but I’m sure I’ll be able to do it in the future
Xu Wen registered for the gynecology department
She didn’t really want to hide it from Lu Yuanzheng, but just wanted to tell him if she was really pregnant
The last time she thought she was pregnant and went for a checkup, she had already made a mistake
If Lu Yuanzheng is so happy, if he is wrong this time, I am afraid that he will be disappointed
Besides, she didn’t have any obvious pregnancy reaction, but when she smelled the fishy smell of Spanish mackerel, her stomach felt a little uncomfortable
Think it is possible that she is pregnant
Xu Wen is to eat fish, usually eat fish also did not have any discomfort, and not the first time to smell fishy odor, but is the first time to smell the fishy odor will have a reaction
The hospital is not big, this time there are not many people, hung up the number can see, even do not have to line up
The doctor asked a few simple questions and then asked her to do two more tests
After the results came out, the doctor looked at the examination report, pushed down his glasses, and congratulated Xu with a smile, “You’re six weeks pregnant! Congratulations on becoming a mom”
Xu Man touched her hands on her belly, a bit unconvinced for fear of another oops: “Doctor, are you sure I’m pregnant? But I had my period half a month ago?”
The doctor was dumbfounded by this statement, and he repeatedly confirmed with Xu Man, “Are you sure you’re on your period?”
“If you ask me that,,” Xu Man swallowed, a little nervous, “I’m still a little unsure”
Dafu: “”
The doctor carefully asked Xu Wen about the situation of her menstrual period at that time
After hearing this, he shook his head, “You shouldn’t have been on your period Some people see red when the embryo is in bed” After saying that, she glanced at Xu Man and added, “You’re careless enough You didn’t even say you’d go to the hospital if your period wasn’t normal You should be more careful when you become a mom in the future”
Xu Man was a little embarrassed by the comment, and answered in a loud voice, and after coming out of the clinic, there was still a sense of unreality
She was pregnant?
She was going to be a mom?
Xu Wen looked down at her still-flat belly for a while before accepting this fact
It should be pregnant
That’s why her waistline and bust grew fat
That’s why she’s so sleepy, sleeping for more than half the day
That’s why she had a physical reaction when she smelled the fishy odor of Spanish mackerel
Xu Wen thought as she descended the stairs, and just as she turned a floor, she heard Lu Yuanzheng call out to her
Xu Man turned her head sideways and saw that Lu Yuanzheng was running over from the end of the corridor on this floor
His face was covered in sweat, and the clothes on his body were wet and sticky
“What brings you here?” Xu Wen wondered
Lu Yuanzheng stopped in front of her, looked her up and down, saw that she didn’t look like something was wrong, sighed in relief, lifted up the hem of his short sleeves and wiped a handful of it on his face, “Thought something was wrong with you, chased over to take a look”
“Didn’t I tell you to come over to buy medicine?”
Lu Yuanzheng grunted, unable to resist breaking her down, “Where’s the medicine?”
Xu Wen looked down, herself empty-handed
“You should go to a pharmacy to buy medicine, people don’t normally come to the hospital specifically to buy medicine”
Is that why he was in a hurry? And didn’t know exactly which department she was in, so he searched for her one building and one floor at a time?
Xu Wen couldn’t bear to tease him anymore and told the truth: “I’m pregnant!”
Lu Yuanzheng froze, abruptly putting down the hem of his clothes and looking straight at her
The corners of Xu Wen’s lips rose, and in her eyes was a smile that she couldn’t hide
“Really pregnant” Xu asked, “I just wasn’t sure so I wanted to hide it from you to check Now that I’m sure, you’re really going to be a father!”
Joy instantly crept over Lu Yuanzheng’s face, he picked up Xu Man and spun around in place twice, his voice trembling with excitement, “We’re going to have a child?”
Xu Man was busy patting his arm, “You put me down first”
This was on the stairs, in case of a fall, how unworthy
Lu Yuanzheng also realized this problem and held her hand, carefully helping her down the steps
Xu Wen walked a few steps still a little uncomfortable, crying and laughing, “Lu Yuanzheng, you holding me up like this will make me feel like I’m a queen ”
Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Lu Yuanzheng, “Then from today onwards you are my queen”
“But you’re holding me in this position, it’s a bit like a eunuch”
He was tall, and in order to help her, he bent his waist slightly and held her elbow with both hands
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
He looked at Xu Man grudgingly, “Daughter-in-law, can you be a bit more of a scene-stealer?”
Xu Wen giggled, “You don’t have to be so careful I’m six weeks pregnant The doctor said that both the baby and I are fine”
Lu Yuanzheng counted the time, “That time in the sea?”
Xu Wen hmmmed, then screwed him, “Other than that time, we’re all on birth control I don’t care, you caused the problem, you go back and think of what to say to Dongsheng”
Thinking about this Xu Wen had a bit of a headache
Dongsheng didn’t care about anything else, but the fact that Xu Man was having another child was something that Dongsheng still couldn’t quite accept
Xu Man understood him well, and knew that this was due to his insecurity She is always afraid that if she has a child of her own, she won’t be so good to him
In this situation, more words and promises will pale in comparison
Lu Yuanzheng is also a bit of a headache, Dongsheng and his father have a little bit of the same at times, sometimes easy to bullheaded to recognize the dead reason
After a long time, Lu Yuanzheng let out a low sigh: “I hope it’s a girl in your belly!”
People’s hearts are made of flesh, and they can’t really be even-handed
The same parents are born and raised, and occasionally there is bias Often with the second, the eldest more or less out of favor
But between biological siblings, will not think much
If Xu Wen and Lu Yuanzheng where slightly do not do or think in place, to Dongsheng’s sensitive nature about will think more
Especially if there was still a poor blood tie, he would be more likely to feel insecure
But if Xu Man gave birth to a girl, he might be able to avoid a lot of trouble
Xu Man thought so too, as she looked down at her flat belly, “Unfortunately, we don’t get to say whether we have a boy or a girl”
