Chapter 231 Declaring Sovereignty

She then went to another spot with a slight error. The error was very small and wouldn't have much impact on operation, but it would affect the lifespan of the parts. She didn't hesitate at all and started working on it.

Qian Xiao put down his tools and gestured that the machine could be turned on for testing. The young worker glanced at the two experienced workers and only turned on the machine after they nodded. Qian Xiao then walked around the machine once more.

He walked up to the two experienced craftsmen and said, "It's ready, Master Wu and Master Wang. Please check if there's anything else that's not quite right."

Master Wang shook his head. He was just a fitter and didn't know much about machines, so he could only spot problems when they occurred.

Master Wu listened carefully to the sound of the machine running: "Not bad, very good. This little girl is quite capable. No wonder the higher-ups said you were excellent. I just didn't realize that you were so strong despite your small arms and legs."

Qian Xiao scratched his cheek and grinned foolishly: "I've always been stronger than others since I was little. If I weren't strong, I wouldn't have learned this. I can't just ask others to do the work."

The silly girl forgot she was wearing gloves, and an oil stain immediately appeared on her face. The onlookers all laughed. Qian Xiao didn't know what was going on and joined in the silly laughter.

Who cares why? Just laugh along with everyone else.

Sun Kaicheng found it hilarious. He thought to himself, "No one can dislike Erdan's personality." He took out his handkerchief and handed it to Qian Xiao, saying, "Quickly wipe yourself."

"Ah!" Only after Sun Kaicheng gestured to her face did she look down and see that she was wearing greasy gloves.

She seemed to have rubbed her face against something just now? Oh my god, now she looks like a cat covered in graffiti, what a mess!

He quickly grabbed a handkerchief and slapped it in his face. The force was so strong that even the young man grimaced. Did this guy have a grudge against him?

Sun Kaicheng reluctantly took the handkerchief and gently wiped the stains off Qian Xiao. All the young people exchanged glances. What's going on with these two? They don't seem like ordinary acquaintances. Aren't they even surnamed the same?

Sun Kaicheng immediately sensed it, but he didn't care at all; this was exactly the effect he wanted.

Erdan looks like a grown man, working in a factory mostly populated by men. Who knows how many people might secretly have designs on him? So what if he uses a little trick? At least if others know he's interested in Erdan, there will be fewer covetous glances.

Master Wang and Master Wu exchanged a glance and smiled. It's so good to be young!

Qian Xiao couldn't have thought of these things at all, because in modern times the boundaries between men and women are not so wide. Besides, she defined herself as an ordinary person, with an ordinary appearance, an ordinary family background, and ordinary abilities.

Sun Kaicheng was better than her in every way, and he was good-looking too. There was no way he would be interested in her. She decided to treat him as a good friend, a good friend with a huge secret in common, and never thought about anything else.

She always felt that someone as good as Sun Kaicheng was simply not someone she could possibly covet.

Besides, how old is she? She's only fifteen, still a child. She has no intention of dating early. However, she won't consider marriage at twenty. She still has some resistance to having someone she doesn't know very well involved in her life.

Having passed the test, things went much more smoothly afterward. They had only two offices and one meeting room. Master Wu had his own office, and the other three people shared an office. Qian Xiao could only share an office with those three people.

Master Wu frowned. It wasn't very convenient for a girl to share an office with three grown men. It would be disgusting if those with ulterior motives gossiped about her.

He turned his head to look at the last room, which contained some of the work protective gear they had received. The room was not large and was more like a small warehouse.

He waved his hand: "Come over here and help tidy up that room. We'll use half of it to store things, and the other half will be Qian Xiao's office."

Qian Xiao's eyes lit up; what a great thing!

She really wanted her own office, but she knew she wasn't very experienced, so she didn't dare make that request. Besides, you can't just have an office whenever you want.

They were all grown men and didn't hold grudges. They worked together to divide the room in two and even got cabinets from the logistics department to separate the spaces. In the windowless areas, they stored their tools and work supplies.

In the slightly larger space with a window, a desk and chair were placed for Qian Xiao to use as an office. The room became much tidier and cleaner than before when it was cluttered and messy.

"Alright, you'll work here from now on. If there are any problems with the machines in the workshop, they'll come looking for you. We also need to go down to the workshop every day to check things out so we can spot problems early and resolve them as soon as possible to minimize losses."

"Come and get to know these three. This is Master Li. You can call him Master Li or Uncle Li."

"Hello, Uncle Li," Master Li seemed to be at the same level as her. He wasn't tall, and looked even shorter than her. He wore the most ordinary kind of black-rimmed glasses.

She greeted Mr. Li and nodded shyly without making a sound, as if she hadn't heard him speak at all that day. He seemed like a typical socially awkward person, so he probably wouldn't be difficult to approach.

"This is Master Sun, you can just call him Uncle Sun."

"Hello, Uncle Sun"

Master Sun is only a little over 1.7 meters tall, which is considered a standard height in this era. There aren't many people who can grow very tall when everyone is starving.

Master Sun gives the impression of being somewhat like their teacher. He doesn't seem like a technician; he looks more like someone who studies literature. His skin is fairer than normal, and he looks like someone who rarely goes out.

"This is Master Sun, you should call him Uncle Sun."

"Hello, Uncle Sun"

Master Sun was the tallest of the group, probably over 1.75 meters. He was very thin but had a big head. He would have looked better if he had been fat. He had a big head and a big face, but he had small eyes and was single-lidded.

But the occasional glint of shrewdness in his eyes revealed that this person was not as honest as he appeared; he was probably quite clever. However, Qian Xiao didn't sense any unpleasantness from him, so he shouldn't be a villain.

Master Wu pointed to himself: "You can just call me Uncle Wu from now on. Today is your first day here, and there are still many things to take care of. Go back and take care of your own things today. If you have a lot to do, you can come back to work the day after tomorrow."
