Chapter 202: Putting My Entire Future at Risk

"Captain Fu, I've put away your clothes for you."

The girl's voice was clear and pleasant, with a sweet smile on her face.

She walked into the house and saw Su Li, and the smile on her face froze instantly.

The little girl looked at Su Li blankly, with a hint of surprise and confusion in her eyes.

"Who are you……"

The girl asked, her voice hesitant.

Su Li also looked at her, not knowing how to introduce herself.

The atmosphere became a little awkward.

Su Li looked at the girl in front of her, her eyes and eyebrows were pure and untainted by dust.

Su Li felt a little embarrassed when she saw men's underwear sandwiched between the clothes in her hand.

Fu Jinzhou put his things down and came over when he heard the sound coming out of Kang Ping's room.

"Xiao Chen, why are you here?"

"Oh, I saw you didn't put away your clothes yesterday, so I helped you put them away. I didn't expect to run into this sister."

The little girl had a sweet voice, and Su Li was very sensitive enough to hear the shyness mixed in with the sweetness.

"Oh, thank you, sorry for bothering me."

"Let me introduce you. This is Comrade Su Li, here to help us translate the instructions."

Fu Jinzhou took the clothes and looked at Su Li involuntarily.

"Thank you for your hard work, sister!" Xiao Chen nodded politely to Su Li.

Su Li smiled faintly, "I hope this can help you."

"You should go back first. When we get to work, take all the manuals for the equipment to the workshop."

Xiao Chen nodded, "Okay, I'll get it later."

After Xiao Chen left, Fu Jinzhou licked his lips and said, "She works in the factory's general logistics department. She's a nice girl."

Su Li curved her lips and smiled, "It's quite cute."

"Rest now, I'll come and call you later."

Fu Jinzhou took his clothes and left. He did not rest himself. Instead, he felt like there was a fire burning in his chest.

When it was time to go to work in the afternoon, Fu Jinzhou took Su Li to the workshop.

Su Li was already shocked by the huge factory, and when she saw the machines in the workshop, she suddenly felt that she would be a burden to Fu Jinzhou.

Fu Jinzhou noticed her nervousness and comforted her, "Don't put so much pressure on yourself. Just do as much as you can. I'll take care of any problems."

Su Li looked at him with a smile. He had taken on too much, and she only hoped to help him, at least to repay him a little.

The news that Fu Jinzhou had found a translator spread quickly to every corner as if it had wings.

While the workers were excited, they were also looking forward to seeing whether Fu Jinzhou, the young cadre sent by the province, could really lead them to tackle this tough problem.

But when they saw Su Li following behind Fu Jinzhou, they were all dumbfounded.

Su Li was wearing a plain long dress, her black hair was simply tied behind her head, and her fair face had a scholarly air. She didn't look like someone who knew anything about machines at all.

"Where did Section Chief Fu bring this little girl from?"

"What can you do with such delicate skin and tender flesh?"

"Could it be... Chief Fu's girlfriend?"

Whispers rose and fell in the workshop.

There were even a few people who usually loved to stir up trouble and raised their voices on purpose.

"Captain Fu, is this the only translator you brought back for us after a day out?"

"This little girl doesn't look like she can speak foreign languages!"

"Within a week? Chief Fu, you're definitely not bragging!"

The questioning, one louder than the other, made Fu Jinzhou's face darken.

He didn't want to pay attention to the gossip, but seeing Su Li's already nervous expression, which became even paler, he felt a pang of pity.

"Shut up, everyone!"

Fu Jinzhou shouted harshly, his cold voice echoing in the empty workshop.

The workshop suddenly became quiet, and you could hear a pin drop.

"Comrade Su Li is a university professor, fluent in German, and I specifically asked her to help."

"If anyone continues to make sarcastic remarks and delays progress, don't blame me for being rude!"

Fu Jinzhou's words were powerful.

But some people were still not convinced and murmured in the audience.

"Then let's see if she can do it. It's not like we're just bragging."

Even the factory director, who had been silent the whole time, became restless.

He called Fu Jinzhou to his office and gave him earnest advice.

"Jinzhou, I know you're young and ambitious, and you want to make a difference, but you can't act on impulse on this matter."

"This batch of equipment is the lifeblood of our factory. If anything goes wrong, no one can bear the responsibility."

"I think we should report this to the provincial government and ask them to contact Germany and arrange for experts to come over."

The factory director's words were sincere and were also for the overall situation.

Fu Jinzhou shook his head with a firm look in his eyes.

"Director, we haven't received any wages in two months, and all the money has been invested in this equipment. It'll take at least two months for the German experts to arrive. Do you think the factory will be able to operate peacefully by then? If the workers start rioting, they might even smash this batch of metal."

"Well, what you said makes sense, but..."

"We will definitely be able to produce a Chinese version of the instruction manual within a week!"

His tone was firm and unquestionable.

Seeing that he was so persistent, the factory manager didn't know what to say and could only sigh.

"Well, since you're so confident, let's give it a try."

"But let me be frank. If there's a problem with the machine, I can't take the responsibility."

"Don't worry about it. When that day comes, I'll take care of it myself."

He knew that this move of his was a bit risky.

But he didn't have that much time to wait.

He bet his entire future on the cement factory; he was determined to give it a try no matter what.

Fu Jinzhou returned to the workshop with Su Li and two technicians, and began to study the instructions.

Su Li looked at his resolute profile and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She knew how much pressure Fu Jinzhou was under.

She had never wanted to help him so much as she did now.

Su Li took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

She picked up the instruction manual, turned to the first page, and began to read it carefully.

Fu Jinzhou stood beside her and, based on her interpretation, pointed to the buttons and handles on the machine and called out their names one by one.

"This is the start button, this is for adjusting the speed, and this is..."

Xiao Chen stood aside with a notebook, taking notes carefully.

The technicians around her saw that the names Su Li said were similar to what they had guessed from their previous research, and they couldn't help but begin to believe that she really understood German.

When she encountered a word she was unsure of, Su Li would open the thick dictionary and look it up carefully.

"This word has three meanings, namely..."

She wrote down each meaning, and then analyzed it with Fu Jinzhou and technicians to determine the most appropriate translation.

Time passed minute by minute, and the workshop was quiet, with only the sound of turning pages and the rustling of pens across paper.

Of course, there are also people hiding aside and wanting to see the joke.

However, the presence of those people did not affect Su Li. She was fully focused on her work and completely forgot everything around her.
