If Director Fan had known it was coming today, he definitely wouldn't have led the team to the Hongqi Brigade today.

The deputy factory director thought to himself, "Factory Director Fan's luck is really not that good."

All the previous steps have been taken, but when it's time to shine, it will be your turn.

Could it be that his luck has finally turned?

He rushed over, a cheerful smile on his face: "Distinguished leaders, you've come to inspect our factory! Please come in, please come in..."

Everything was fine up ahead; Mayor Chu and the others nodded and followed him inside.

Factory Director Fan led his men to the fields for the busy farming season, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

After all, the notification was not properly communicated.

Chief Chu also wanted to see the real side of things. He could pretend for a day, but he couldn't pretend forever.

Today's inspection was all arranged on short notice.

However, Director Chu was not particularly fond of this deputy factory director.

That gloating expression was too obvious.

I guess happiness came too quickly, and they haven't had time to calm down yet.

Everyone present was shrewd; how could they not see it?

Fortunately, no one seemed to care about these things.

They came down to inspect things, not to see people.

After going around once, Mayor Chu found that the workers' attitudes were quite good, and he did not see any obvious signs of shirking or cheating.

Hao Jianshe had visited once before and, seeing this, explained on Fan Zhijian's behalf: "Factory Director Fan previously managed discipline for a period of time. It seems the results were quite good."

The deputy factory director gritted his teeth, but ultimately didn't dare say anything more.

After all, many people know about this, and the credit isn't something he can just take away if he wants to.

We just happened to encounter a problem with the production line that required repairs.

The deputy factory director didn't want to leave a bad impression on Director Chu, so he quickly had someone summon Fu Heng and Li Xing.

After all, he was still the deputy director of the agricultural machinery factory. If the factory was in trouble, he would be in trouble too.

"Quickly check what the problem is."

"Understood, Deputy Factory Director."

Li Xing nodded, but the word "deputy" he used made the deputy factory director feel somewhat helpless.

Deputies generally don't want people to always call them by their full title.

Unfortunately, Li Xing also had connections, and with Director Chu and others still around, the deputy factory director couldn't speak up even if he wanted to.

Mayor Chu almost burst out laughing; he had seen this kind of thing many times before.

Putting everything else aside, just now at the commune, Hao Jianshe called out to Deputy Secretary Zhou Zhigang right in front of him, and Mayor Chu did not miss the fleeting anger and helplessness on Zhou Zhigang's face at that time.

"It's not a big problem."

After inspecting it, Li Xing smiled confidently and said, "Actually, it's just that one of the screws inside has come loose after being used for a long time."

"Just turn on the machine and tighten the screws."

Mayor Chu asked curiously, "Li Xing? That's quite a skill!"

Li Xing quickly resolved the mechanical problem, but he was too young. If these things hadn't happened right in front of Mayor Chu, he would have thought it was all a performance for him.

Li Xing didn't say anything, but just smiled shyly.

The deputy factory director quickly said, "Director Chu, you don't know, do you? Li Xing is the son of Chief Engineer Li from the city's machinery factory. He comes from a family with a strong academic background, so his mechanical skills are naturally quite good. It's really a waste of his talents to have him come to our agricultural machinery factory. Li Xing is a key technical member of our agricultural machinery factory."

Mayor Chu suddenly realized: "I see. Chief Engineer Li, I remember him too. Chief Engineer Li of our city's machinery factory is the soul of the factory. If it weren't for Chief Engineer Li, the machinery factory might not be able to operate."
