As soon as the presentation ended, the group chat was like a holiday, everyone was all smiles, even the usually serious group leader Chen had a rare smile on his face. Liu Li was surrounded by her colleagues, one patting her on the shoulder, another giving her a thumbs up, it was a noisy scene.

"Liu Li, that's great! You spoke really well!"

"Director Han has given his approval, so our group is really going to shine this time!"

Liu Li blushed with embarrassment at the praise and kept saying, "It was all done by everyone, not just by me."

Two days later, Team Leader Chen called Liu Li and Zhou Wei to his office, holding a freshly printed draft of the preliminary technical report, still smelling of ink.

"Take a look," Team Leader Chen handed over the report, pointing to the title of the section on "Key Technological Progress," "The project team has decided to officially name our thin-walled part processing method 'Liu-Zhou's Thin-Walled Part Precision Machining Method,' and include it in the report for submission to the ministry."

Liu Li was looking down at her report when she heard this. She suddenly looked up, her eyes wide, thinking she had misheard. "Liu-Zhou family"? And "law"? This... this name is too prestigious!

She instinctively looked at Zhou Wei. Zhou Wei was also taken aback for a moment, then quickly waved his hand: "Team Leader Chen, isn't this inappropriate? Liu Li was the one who first came up with the idea, and she also led the implementation. I only helped a little with the theoretical calculations. This name..."

Team Leader Chen interrupted him, his tone leaving no room for argument: "Technological breakthroughs are the result of teamwork, but the core ideas and the people who led the implementation must be recognized. Liu Li proposed and verified the method, and you, Zhou Wei, provided crucial theoretical support and model optimization; neither is dispensable. This name is very fitting."

He then looked at Liu Li, his eyes filled with clear affirmation: "Comrade Liu Li, this is the project team's formal recognition of your work. From now on, this method will carry your names."

Holding the heavy report, Liu Li ran her fingers over the printed words "Liu-Zhou Shi," her heart a jumble of emotions—excitement, surprise, and a touch of guilt. She, a technician who had risen through the ranks in the workshop, had her name linked to the word "law," and even printed on this important government report, submitted to the ministry? When she first transmigrated, she hadn't even dared to dream of such a thing.

As Zhou Wei left Team Leader Chen's office, he was still a little embarrassed: "Liu Li, look at the mess this has made. Didn't I just take advantage of you?"

Liu Li, having recovered her composure, laughed instead: "Engineer Zhou, please don't say that. Without your theoretical guidance, my 'homemade method' would probably still be wandering around aimlessly. This name is quite good; we earned it together!"

Back in the office, Sun Mei and the others heard the news and offered their congratulations again. Someone joked, "Well done, Engineer Liu and Engineer Zhou, you've made a name for yourselves in the project's history!" This made Liu Li and Zhou Wei blush deeply.

That evening, Liu Li sat alone in her dormitory, taking out the report again. Outside the window lay the unfamiliar nightscape of Jiangnan, yet she felt an unusual sense of peace. Her name printed on the report wasn't just an honor, but more like a stamp, firmly imprinted on her years of struggle.

She recalled the excitement of getting the first qualified axle at the Hongxing factory, the sleepless night repairing the gantry plane, and the feeling of being out of place when she first joined the project team... Step by step, stumbling and falling, she truly paved her way.

"Liu-Zhou's Precision Machining Method for Thin-Walled Parts," she murmured the name, a smile tinged with weariness and pride spreading across her face. The name certainly sounded impressive. But the burden on her shoulders seemed to have grown heavier. Now that she had established this reputation, she would have to work even harder.
