Chapter 93 I'll handle it, trust me

Huo Zhenhua, dressed in a crisp military uniform, stood tall and elegant by the door. His epaulets gleamed with cold silver lines in the morning light, like a sword sheathed in its sheath, its sharpness concealed, yet captivating.

His sharp eyes swept over Su Meng, and he snapped to attention, giving Director Jiang a military salute. "Reporting, old commander! I have something to report."

Director Jiang nodded. "Sit down! Did Commander Tang send you?"

Huo Zhenhua remained silent, then turned to Su Meng and said, "You go out first and do what you need to do."

He spoke casually, but his tone left no room for argument; it was a notification, not a discussion.

Su Meng looked at Huo Zhenhua with a blank expression, then looked at Director Jiang and said firmly, "Director, I didn't!"

Director Jiang met Huo Zhenhua's gaze, pondered for a moment, and said to Su Meng, "Go and write up the report on the diesel engine in detail and submit it."

Su Meng: "......"

Why make her all serious so early in the morning, only to dismiss her like this without any explanation?

When the label of undermining internal unity was placed upon her, even with her strong mentality, she almost couldn't withstand it. She felt panicked and her legs went weak.

She didn't want to escape being labeled a capitalist and then be branded a political figure.

That means they'll be sent down to the countryside.

Even if the case is overturned and the person is exonerated, their reputation will still be affected.

Just like being suspected of murder, even if you go to the police station and prove your innocence, you will inevitably be pointed at or looked at strangely after you come out.

She was unwilling to be unfairly blamed.

She wanted to make things clear.

Huo Zhenhua sensed her stubbornness and grievance, and his heart clenched.

He softened his tone and said seriously, "You go back first! I'll take care of it!"

Didn't you say I should handle the trouble I caused myself? Trust me!

Hearing this, Su Meng made up her mind and walked to her office without looking back.

She is a workaholic.

Once immersed in the research data, the unpleasantness of the morning is forgotten in no time.

While compiling the report, another possibility for upgrading and improvement was discovered.

In this way, the fuel consumption of diesel engines can be reduced even further.

"Perfect!"

She happily wrote the final stroke of the diesel engine report.

He glanced at the closed office door of Director Jiang across the street, sighed, and put the report into the drawer.

Then he remembered that there were still several acres of wheat fields in the space that needed to be harvested.

She really didn't want to work like an old ox, enduring backaches and other hardships while harvesting all by herself.

I want to free my hands and own a lightweight mechanical harvester.

So he started writing and drawing on paper, and occasionally flipping through the documents.

Time passed second by second.

She was so engrossed in her research that she didn't notice the people coming and going in Director Jiang's office.

She didn't see Huo Zhenhua pass by her window with a meaningful look in his eyes.

They were even less aware of the change in their colleagues' attitudes.

"Comrade Xiao Su, this is the lunch I brought you."

Suddenly, darkness fell beside her, and the sound of voices startled Su Meng awake.

Su Meng looked up, rubbed her swollen eyes, quickly took out her money and tickets and handed them over, sincerely thanking them: "Thank you!"

"My name is Huang Huaiying, and I also major in mechanical engineering." She introduced herself with a smile. "Comrade Xiao Su, although work is important, health is the foundation of everything and should not be neglected."

Su Meng smiled sheepishly, "I just thought of an idea and didn't pay attention to the time. Thank you, Sister Huang."

Huang Huaiying was about twenty-two or twenty-three years old, with her short hair neatly tucked behind her ears.

Her oval face has clean lines.

His eyebrows and eyes were distinct, and he exuded a sharp edge even without speaking.

She has the air of a powerful businesswoman—as if she could pull out a contract from her briefcase at any moment, sign it with a pen, and settle the matter in two swift strokes.

After hearing Su Meng's words, she waved her hand and said, "I really envy your quick wit and many ideas."

After we completed the previous plan, we had no tasks for about half a month.

Ugh! I feel like I'm just wasting my days, waiting to die. It's so boring!

Su Meng's eyes darted around, she swallowed the food in her mouth, and prepared to return the favor, "Sister Huang, don't underestimate yourself, you must be an expert in firearms."

I've handled the Type 97 sniper rifle before, and I've heard that its range can reach over 900 meters, but I've never actually seen it.

She naturally started talking about sniper rifles.

Unexpectedly, Huang Huaiying is an expert specializing in sniper rifles.

The two talked about familiar topics and quickly hit it off, as if they had known each other for a long time.

They quickly pieced together the advantages and disadvantages of the Type 99 sniper rifle, offering their opinions on improvements and refinements.

They were having a lively discussion and didn't notice the crowd gathered at the door.

When Director Jiang and Division Commander Tang came over, they were about to reprimand those people, but after hearing Su Meng and Huang Huaiying's argument, they silently stood aside.

Huang Huaiying has a solid professional foundation.

Su Meng studied the most advanced and authoritative foreign firearms expertise, and with her unconventional thinking, she always managed to give Huang Huaiying a sense of enlightenment.

By the time the light dimmed, they had several draft drawings in their hands.

Huang Huaiying smiled and picked up the finalized blueprints, excitedly saying, "I'll go back and refine them first. Once the data is finalized, I'll ask you for help again."

"When the first batch is produced, we'll go together to inspect the results."

Su Meng readily agreed: "Okay! I love seeing the results."

Director Jiang walked in with a "haha" laugh, "You've been discussing this all afternoon, making us stand here with you all afternoon."

"Comrade Huang, Comrade Xiao Su, have you come up with a new idea again?"

Huang Huaiying said excitedly, "Director, thanks to Su Meng, she always inspires me from different perspectives. She is really amazing!"

Su Meng smiled reservedly, "I guess I'm just like that newborn calf that's not afraid of tigers, I just stumbled upon it by accident."

Upon hearing this, everyone laughed.

But amidst the laughter, a discordant voice rang out: "Heh! She can study agricultural machinery and firearms, do you really believe there's such a talented person?"

I think she's a wicked person!

They might be spies trained somewhere.

First they approached Commander Huo, then they infiltrated our weapons research institute—all to infiltrate our army and cause sabotage.

In conclusion: Su Meng is a spy!

Su Meng accurately identified the person who had slandered her.

After a brief moment of surprise, he chuckled and said, "Is Comrade Sun Qiao also from the research institute?"

What a coincidence, we meet again!

Yesterday, I accidentally witnessed you pouncing on a male friend and then trying to force him to say that you were his boyfriend.

I'm sorry! I didn't mean to be there.

But Madam Nie already said that the person who went to her house wasn't there to go on a blind date with you, but rather was entrusted by Madam Nie to help deliver things to someone.

You wouldn't hold a grudge against me just because I saw you make a fool of yourself, would you?

"Wouldn't you be so petty?"

Sun Qiao never expected that Su Meng would reveal her shameful secrets in front of everyone.

Then I thought of the embarrassing things Huo Zhenhua said yesterday.

He was overcome with passion, his expression turning ferocious.

She pointed at Su Meng arrogantly, "So what if you have a vixen's face and got Commander Huo's favor? What's so great about that?"

Haha, Comrade Huang, don't you feel ashamed that an expert like you is coming to discuss professional knowledge with a layman?

Her silly, trivial ideas are so surprising, it's hilarious!

"If Commander Huo hadn't guided her, what would she have known?"

After returning home yesterday, Madam Nie gave her a lecture, and coupled with Huo Zhenhua's humiliation, especially after Su Meng laughed at her, she was so angry that she couldn't sleep all night.

Why is Nie Ronghua, whom she has liked since childhood, Su Meng's?

She finally came to terms with reality and started to take a liking to Huo Zhenhua, who also became close to Su Meng and protected her in every way.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Su Mengsheng was born to be a stumbling block on her path of love.

She wants to remove this stumbling block.
