Chapter 284 Technicians of the Old Era Are Eliminated!

His incitement immediately drew the enthusiastic support of dozens of local workers behind him.

"Chief Engineer Wang is right! We're quitting!"

"This is too extravagant and wasteful! How much money must have been spent!"

"An amateur instructing an expert, and someone with connections doing whatever they want!"

The head of the expert group from Beijing, a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, was quite infuriated by this scene and stood up to refute them without any politeness.

"What do you know? This is the most advanced pharmaceutical standard in the world! Your outdated system, which you learned from the Soviet Union decades ago, should have been in the history museum long ago!"

"You little brat, what did you say?!" Chief Engineer Wang was so angry he almost fainted.

Just as the two groups were about to escalate their verbal battle into a physical one, Su Yue and Zhang Huilan arrived.

"Stop!" Zhang Huilan shouted, finally bringing the scene to a temporary halt.

When Chief Engineer Wang saw them, he felt he had found a pillar of support and immediately turned his attention to Su Yue.

"Comrade Su, you've come at the right time! You be the judge! We're here to build, not to play house with you! If you continue to mess things up like this, all of us local technicians will go on strike!"

Su Yue didn't look at him, but calmly walked to the huge design drawing.

Her gaze swept over the intricate network of pipes and the sophisticated layout of instruments, and she understood. This wasn't a technical issue; it was a clash of ideas, a collision between two eras.

She didn't get angry, not even a ripple of emotion.

She slowly turned around and walked towards Chief Engineer Wang, whose face was full of anger.

The noisy crowd unconsciously made way for her.

She stopped and asked only one question in a clear and calm voice.

"Chief Engineer Wang, when was the last time you came into contact with the most cutting-edge international pharmaceutical standards?"

One question silenced the entire construction site instantly.

The anger on Chief Engineer Wang's face froze.

His proud knowledge system is still based on Soviet standards from aid projects decades ago; how could he know anything about international frontiers?

He was rendered speechless by this casual remark, and his old face instantly turned purplish-red.

After a long pause, he finally managed to squeeze out a condescending remark through gritted teeth: "I... I've spent my whole life in the technical field, and I'm not as knowledgeable as a little girl like you?"

Su Yue smiled.

She didn't argue with him anymore, but simply clapped her hands lightly.

Chen Xinyue immediately stepped out from behind the crowd, carrying a thick stack of documents.

Su Yue took the documents and handed one of them to Chief Engineer Wang.

It was a hardcover book printed entirely in English, with a line of gold-stamped English letters on the cover that shimmered in the sunlight.

The International GMP Certification Standards Manual.

Chief Engineer Wang stared blankly at the string of foreign characters he didn't recognize.

Su Yue then distributed another document to all the technicians present, including the ones from Beijing.

"This is a Chinese translation that I personally translated and annotated. You can compare it with the original."

The expert team leader from Beijing subconsciously opened the translation, and after just one glance, he froze.

The translation is not only accurate, but also includes detailed explanations and implementation paths marked in red next to many key technical points, and even suggestions for improving existing technologies.

This... this is no longer translation, this is writing a book!

Su Yue ignored the shock of the crowd.

She picked up a translated book, walked to the blueprints, pointed to a complex module labeled "Air Purification System," and began to explain.

"The constant temperature and humidity system we designed is not for pleasure, but to ensure that the properties of medicines do not change due to temperature and humidity variations during the production process. Chief Engineer Wang, do you know by what percentage the potency of penicillin decreases when the temperature exceeds 30 degrees Celsius?"

She then pointed to another area.

"This Class 10,000 cleanroom, and the requirement that all personnel entering must pass through an air shower for dust removal, are to prevent airborne particles and microorganisms from contaminating the medicines. The medicines we will be producing in the future are injectable drugs that are directly injected into the human body. If even a speck of dust or a bacterium gets mixed in, it could be fatal to the patient."

She didn't use any complicated jargon; she spoke only of the simplest truths.

However, the rigorous scientific logic and forward-thinking behind these principles struck the hearts of every technician present like heavy blows.

Their initial disdain, followed by shock, and finally, profound respect.

It turns out that those designs they thought were "extravagant and wasteful" actually had such profound significance behind them.

Su Yue's voice echoed clearly across the construction site. She spoke about the core concepts of GMP, the division of clean areas, the design of personnel movement routes, and the control process of materials.

Her depth of expertise left even the experts from Beijing sweating and feeling inferior.

The local veteran technicians listened with rapt attention, as if a door to a new world was slowly opening before them.

After the explanation was finished, the entire room fell silent.

Su Yue closed the booklet, looked around the room, and finally fixed her gaze on Chief Engineer Wang.

"Now, do you still think this is capitalist hedonism and corruption?"

Chief Engineer Wang stood there, his lips trembling, unable to utter a single word. His old face flushed red and then turned pale, finally settling into a deathly gray.

He knew he had lost, lost utterly.

However, Su Yue did not stop there.

What she wanted was more than just for them to submit.

"Starting tomorrow, the laboratory will establish a technical task force. All technicians, whether from Beijing or locally, will participate in a month-long GMP standard training and assessment."

This decision stunned everyone.

"Those who pass the assessment will receive a 30% raise on their current salary!"

boom!

These words exploded like a bomb in the crowd.

The eyes of all the young technicians lit up instantly, and their breathing became rapid.

Su Yue's voice continued, carrying a deadly allure.

"The top three students will be given the opportunity to travel to Hong Kong on a government scholarship to visit and learn at a pharmaceutical factory under the Fok Group for a month."

Government-sponsored trip to Hong Kong!

This word completely ignited everyone's passion!

Su Yue changed the subject and delivered the final blow.

"Of course, there are rewards and punishments. Those who fail the assessment will no longer serve as technicians and will be demoted to ordinary workers on the construction site, responsible for carrying bricks and cement."

Upon hearing this, the way all the young technicians looked at Chief Engineer Wang completely changed.

The respect and following that had been there before were gone from those eyes; in their place was an undisguised alienation and resentment.

Chief Engineer Wang, once a highly respected senior, instantly became a stumbling block on their path to promotion, salary increases, and further studies abroad!

He was completely isolated.

His old, proud experience proved incredibly fragile in the face of absolute knowledge barriers and naked self-interest.

Chief Engineer Wang shuddered as he looked at the evasive, even hostile, gazes around him, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

He knew that his era had passed.

In the end, facing betrayal and alienation from everyone, he hesitated for a long time before finally managing to utter only a few words in a hoarse voice.

"I...I request a transfer..."

After saying that, he slunk away from the construction site like a defeated rooster, his back hunched, under the mixed gazes of the crowd.

The strike was thus averted.

Not only did Su Yue not lose a single person, but through this incident, she completely established her absolute authority in technology, united the entire team as one, and inspired an unprecedented enthusiasm for learning.

The turmoil in the laboratory subsided.
