Chapter 68: Master Xiao Qi is still capable of dealing with it

If there is a transfer order, it means it is a formal transfer, not a secondment.

Qi Fang frowned slightly when he heard this, "I didn't find anyone."

Qu Mingli also felt that Qi Fang probably didn't have this kind of connection, otherwise how could he be forced to work as a logging worker in the forest farm for three years?

But this is strange. Unless this person is absolutely necessary, it is not easy for the county machinery factory to transfer people from below.

After all, the small repair shop is not a direct subsidiary of the machinery factory, so it has to apply to the bureau first and get approval layer by layer.

Qi Fang can do it, and now the town machine repair shop can also do it, so it is not necessary for him to go there. It would be too much trouble to go to the county machinery factory.

This made his face look solemn. "So you don't know anything about this?"

Normally, if someone is to be transferred, their opinion must be sought first, unless they already know about it.

Qi Fang said, "I don't know." He then asked, "Did the county directly transfer it, or did the machinery factory ask the county for it?"

Qu Mingli didn't know either, so he simply hung up the phone and said, "Wait for me to find out."

He waited until he got off work that evening, but there was no movement from his side, so Qi Fang packed up and went home.

When I went back and told Yan Xue about it, she was also a little surprised, "Is it really that expensive?"

With Qi Fang's ability, it would be no problem for him to go to a county machinery factory, and it might even be a waste of his talent. But Yan Xue knew that he would be a future tycoon in heavy industry.

The people at the county machinery factory had no idea. Even if they found out that he was a college student, and a genius who had been admitted to college at the age of fourteen, shouldn't they talk to him first if they wanted to poach him?

There must be something going on here. The couple looked at each other and decided to wait and see how Secretary Qu responded.

The next afternoon, Qu Mingli called again. The person was indeed wanted by the machinery factory and the county forestry bureau, but it was the engineer from the research institute who raised the matter.

It is said that Qi Fang's design of that part is very clever, and I really hope to have more opportunities to communicate with Qi Fang to see if it can be further optimized.

"They're a little anxious over there, and they didn't ask for your opinion, but if you want to go, this is a good opportunity."

After all, it is in the county, which is better than staying in the forest farm. Qu Mingli thinks Qi Fang is likely to go there.

Qi Fang only noticed one word from his words, "Research Institute?"

"Yes, the research institute that created this system."

There are some things Qu Mingli can't say directly, but hinting at them is still acceptable. "They had an engineer come over before, saying he wanted to help us solve the problem, but he took a look around and then went back."

Qi Fang immediately understood that the solution the other research institute came up with was not as good as his, and he had no idea where to start.

But his peach blossom eyes still gloomy, because no one knows better than him who designed this hydraulic system.

Wu Xingde, or should we say his teacher, Wu Xingde simply perfected his teacher's semi-finished product.

The system had just had a major flaw, and he had just figured out a solution, but someone was already rushing to transfer him to the county machinery factory. Wasn't that too much of a coincidence?

"You suspect this is Wu Xingde's work?" After returning home, I told Yan Xue about it. When Yan Xue heard about the research institute, she raised her eyebrows. "Isn't he still suspecting you have something?"

As sharp as ever, he could already make connections to deeper issues without anyone even saying anything.

So how could Qi Fang have thought that he had recognized the wrong person? When Qi Fang was her age and had not experienced any setbacks, he did not have such a good character and skills as her.

Looking into those calm, composed, bright eyes, he didn't say anything too confidently, "I'm still just skeptical."

That's enough. For a villain like Wu Xingde, no matter how much we guard against him, it's never too much, and no one is more motivated than him.

"It seems there's a problem with this batch of timber 50. He's been under a lot of pressure lately." Yan Xue smiled. "Otherwise, he wouldn't be so anxious just because you made some moves."

Qi Fang's patch is indeed better than Wu Xingde's, but it is not actually his teacher's work, but his own idea.

Since he had promised his teacher, he would never give the things out easily to patch up Wu Xingde and pave the way for his own career.

But Wu Xingde wouldn't necessarily think so. This kind of villain isn't a good person himself, and he's always willing to make the most malicious assumptions about others. Even if Qi Fang really handed over his teacher's results, he would still doubt whether it was fake, and whether Qi Fang had something else up his sleeve.

Yan Xue slowly sat down at the desk and looked at the man. "So what are you going to do? Go or not?"

"Go." Qi Fang answered concisely, "I have to see what tricks he has in mind."

"That's right." Yan Xue nodded in agreement. "We have to make him use his tricks to dispel his doubts. At least we have a defense this time."

This time, thanks to their friendship with Secretary Qu, as soon as the incident happened, Secretary Qu came to ask Qi Fang himself.

If it weren't for that friendship and Secretary Qu's call, Qi Fang would have been transferred away directly without even being on guard.

As for the town and the forest farm, they would think that Qi Fang had found a way for himself and was pursuing a better future through this performance.

People like Wu Xingde are really troublesome. He will stare at you if you move, and he will also stare at you if you don't move. I really don't know how Qi Fang in the original book tolerated him for so many years.

Just as she thought of this, a deep male voice fell over Yan Xue's head, "Are these things very troublesome?"

"It's quite troublesome." Yan Xue nodded, and sure enough, she saw the man's peach blossom eyes droop and his lips pursed.

This made her eyes narrow. "So even though I've already unpacked the goods, can I still return it?"

"Don't even think about it." Qi Fang threw two words at her.

After saying that, he noticed the cunning in her eyes and emphasized, "Even if I change it, it won't work."

This time Yan Xue really laughed, "You still remember it?"

However, even if I decide to go to the county and see what tricks Wu Xingde will use this time, I can't just be led by the nose.

Not to mention what would happen to the household registration of Yan Xue and the others, and what would happen to Yan Xue's wood ear mushrooms, the connections they had were all in the forest farm and in the town, not in the county.

If Qi Fang was really transferred, he would be at a disadvantage in an unfamiliar place. Yan Xue thought about it and asked, "Can this situation be turned around?"

She felt that Secretary Qu came to ask them first instead of directly transferring Qi Fang's file because he still wanted to see what they thought.

As expected, Qi Fang raised his eyes upon hearing this, and his gaze fell on her face. "I told Secretary Qu to second me."

I had the same idea as Yan Xue. I could go, but I couldn't move my roots. So the best option was to second me. But seconded people were not under the jurisdiction of the town machinery factory.

Yan Xue said that given this man's personality, he wouldn't go along with the other person's wishes even though he knew there was a trap. "Has Secretary Qu agreed?"

Qu Mingli naturally agreed. Putting aside the fact that Qi Fang had helped him solve a pressing problem, he had to give Qi Fang some face whenever he asked. The fact that the county had simply transferred someone, especially one so important, without even asking showed a clear disregard for him as the secretary.

After confirming that Qi Fang really didn't want to go, he didn't refuse directly, but just kept the transfer order and delayed issuing it.

Sure enough, it was the county that was anxious about this matter, not them. Within two days, they called to urge them and asked why the person had not come over yet.

Qu Mingli immediately complained to the other party that the burden of the entire town was on his shoulders alone. He was waiting for the county to come up with a solution, but the county did not give him any definite answer.

It was so difficult to find someone to solve the problem, but he didn't know whether the solution was good or not. He was afraid of hearing people say that the tractor broke down again in his dreams these past two days.

So people cannot be transferred away. He needs them so much. If any problems arise again, it will be difficult for him to borrow money from the county.

The county heard two things from each other: one was that he really didn't want to release the person, and the other was that he was dissatisfied with the county's delay in helping them solve the problem.

But it has to be solved by the county. The county had to wait for people from the research institute to come before they came up with a solution, and the solution was not as good as that solved by Qi Fang.

It was precisely because they hadn't solved the problem as well as Qi Fang's that the performance of the Jiji 50 they had repaired was not satisfactory, and they couldn't make the part that Qi Fang had for the time being...

The people in the county were in a dilemma. Qu Mingli had a strong background and was unwilling to be released, so they couldn't do anything about it.

Let’s have a final discussion. If you don’t want to release us, we don’t have to transfer it. You can just lend it to us for a while, right?

Qu Mingli immediately brought up Qi Fang's unfounded cold. The young man worked too hard, working around the clock every day without much overtime pay, and his health has not recovered yet.

The people at the county machinery factory listened attentively and immediately said that as long as he was willing to lend the money, they would provide overtime pay and meal allowance.

After hanging up the phone, I couldn't help but blame the engineer from the institute.

Why not just borrow someone from the town's machine shop? It's not impossible to fix it, so why do we have to ask Qi Fang? It's such a hassle and it costs money.

Qu Mingli felt very good after hanging up the phone. He quickly notified Qi Fang and asked him to be seconded. In addition to his salary, he would also receive a subsidy of one yuan per day.

If he is required to work overtime, overtime pay will be calculated by the hour, and he will be credited with another day's work if he completes eight hours.

Qi Fang doesn't need to work any more. Just work two hours overtime every day and his monthly salary can be twice what he earned at the forest farm.

He had nothing to say about this. After all, he was going there anyway. He just thanked Secretary Qu again and again for helping him.

When I went back and told Yan Xue about it, she was amused. "Secretary Qu is so good at bargaining?"

Needless to say, everyone knows that the blame must be placed on the engineer and the research institute.

And if it is blamed on the institute, it is equivalent to blaming Wu Xingde. Before he even started stealing the chicken, Wu Xingde had already lost a handful of rice.

Yan Xue offered the man a dirty trick, "Why don't you go over there and work slower, work for a few more days, and work more overtime at night."

Qi Fang looked over immediately, his peach blossom eyes deep and gloomy, "You really don't want me to come back?"

"That's not the case." Yan Xue stopped teasing him. "Just work overtime appropriately. Don't let your body, which has just recovered, collapse again."

Qi Fang’s untimely death in the original book has always been a knot in her heart. She is afraid that once no one is looking after him, he will not take his health seriously again.

These words finally softened Qi Fang's expression. He lowered his eyes to look at her and said in a calm but firm voice, "I'll be back as soon as possible."

When the news got out, even though they didn't know there had been a transfer order before, the mere fact of the secondment was enough to shock everyone in the forest farm.

After all, a month ago Qi Fang was still working as a lumberjack in the mountains, and four months ago they were still watching the excitement of Qi Fang's training quota being rejected.

In such a short period of time, he actually solved the problems that the town machine repair factory could not solve, and let the town machine repair factory come to learn from him. Now even the county has to rely on him.

So Xiao Qi was quickly promoted to Master Xiao Qi. Sometimes when Yan Xue met people outside, she would always talk about how great Master Xiao Qi was.

But Master Xiao Qi himself was not very happy. He had just come down from the mountain and had to leave again. He didn’t know when he would be able to come back.

Of course, his expression was always cold, and others couldn't see it. Only Yan Xue could sense the anger hidden in those peach blossom eyes.

The main reason was that others were not affected by the anger, but Yan Xue experienced it firsthand every night.

Master Xiao Qi "recuperated" at home for another two days before he "recovered" at the repeated urging of the county machinery factory and set off for the county.

The county machinery factory learned that he would be leaving that day, so they sent someone to wait at the long-distance bus station in advance. Seeing that he was the only one who didn't rush to leave after getting off the bus, they approached and asked, "Excuse me, is this Comrade Qi Fang?"

Qi Fang nodded, "I am." The other party immediately introduced himself, "Hello, hello, I was sent by the factory to pick you up, you can just call me Xiao Kong."

But I couldn't help wondering why he was so young. He looked not even 25 years old. Could he really solve the problem?

It's no wonder he was complaining. The county machinery factory had invested a lot of money this time. If people came but couldn't solve the problem, wouldn't that be a huge loss?

Seeing Qi Fang, the engineer surnamed Shen from the Qinghua Engineering Machinery Research Institute also felt that he was too young.

He looked to be in his early twenties, the age for doing odd jobs in their research institute. When he said that the idea was his, Engineer Shen was really skeptical.

And the meaning of the above is that he also wants to test the other party's strengths and weaknesses to see if the other party can completely solve the problem...

What problems can this young man with no hair on his face and still working in the forest solve?

Despite his thoughts, he still smiled and shook hands with Qi Fang, "This must be Comrade Qi Fang, right? I didn't expect him to be so young."

Outside, Qi Fang was even more cold and distant than he was at the forest farm. He shook the other person's hand with his long fingers and said only two words: "Hello."

After that, he didn't even ask where the dormitory was. He just put his things in a random office and asked, "Shall we start now?"

This was a completely new style of painting that the other party had never seen before. He was stunned for a moment. "If you don't need to rest, you can do it now."

Qi Fang asked where he could find work clothes and went straight to change without any delay.

Engineer Shen glanced at what he had left behind and quickly caught up with him, briefly explaining the situation. "There are 53 loggers in the two towns in the county, and 41 have been repaired so far. The performance is not very ideal. The time is still too tight, and the institute is not prepared."

He still tried to make up for the research institute by saying that it was not that they were not capable or could not compare to him, a small repairman in the forest farm, but that they were far away and did not have enough time.

After hearing this, Qi Fang remained calm and didn't say a word. Then he dragged him to work overtime until late at night.

Engineer Shen was able to keep up at first, and thought to himself that this young man might not be good at other things, but he was really focused and efficient in his work.

However, he soon found out that he was wrong. Qi Fang was good at at least one thing, which was his endurance.

It was already this late, but not only did this man not show any signs of being sleepy, his expression didn't even change, like a tireless machine.

He was really a little overwhelmed, "I know you're anxious, but the work can't be completed in one day. How about we stop here today?"

Qi Fang seemed to have just noticed the time. He looked at the people around him who were staring at their eyes, then looked at him, his brows slightly furrowed. "I thought you were anxious."

Even if you're in a hurry, you can't treat people like machines. He gets overtime pay, and any extra hours count as work, but they may not get that.

Especially Engineer Shen, he only has a business trip allowance, and staying up all night with Qi Fang who gets paid for overtime is simply a disease.

It was only Qi Fang's first day, and he was already complaining about what he was doing. "Go back and rest. If you don't sleep, others will have to."

Qi Fang then put away his tools and changed his clothes. He followed Xiao Kong, who was also unable to bear it any longer, to the temporary dormitory, put away his things and prepared to rest.

After washing up and before turning off the lights, he glanced at his watch. It was exactly one o'clock in the middle of the night, and Yan Xue should have been asleep long ago.

The girl never cared whether he was at home or not. She would always use condoms and make pine cones as usual...

Yan Xue had indeed fallen asleep a long time ago, but somehow she woke up in a daze.

Not feeling the familiar embrace, her first reaction was that Qi Fang had gone up the mountain. After a while, she remembered that Qi Fang had already been transferred to the small repair factory.

Realizing that Qi Fang was on secondment to the county and therefore not at home, Yan Xue's remaining sleepiness completely disappeared.

She first stared at the dark ceiling for a while, then stood up to drink some water. When she came back, the small clock in the opposite room just struck one o'clock in the middle of the night.

The next morning, Yan Xue got up a little later, proving that she didn't sleep late only when Qi Fang was at home.

When I went out, Yan Ji just came out from the opposite side. He was still half asleep with his eyes closed. "Good morning, sister. Good morning, brother-in-law."

When he was half asleep and half awake, he was talking in his sleep and didn't stutter anymore, which made Yan Xue laugh.

The young boy, who had just raised the corners of his mouth and was still not awake, opened his eyes with a puzzled look in his eyes, "Where's my brother-in-law? He hasn't woken up yet?"

That bit of amusement turned into helplessness again, "Your brother-in-law is on a business trip, did you forget?"

After dinner, Yan Jigang packed his schoolbag and went to school. Yan Xue was washing dishes with the second old lady when someone knocked on the door. "My old broken semiconductor isn't working again. Does your Master Qi have time to take a look at it?"

Another person asked about Qi Fang. Yan Xue smiled at him and said, "Qi Fang was seconded to the county. He left yesterday."

"He left yesterday? I didn't hear any noise, so I thought your Xiao Qi didn't leave."

The other party was obviously a little disappointed, and since he was already there, he simply pulled Yan Xue aside and talked for a while, saying that your Xiao Qi is really capable, and then said goodbye and left.

After washing the dishes, Yan Xue saw that there was only half a bucket of water left in the tub. She took down the shoulder pole hanging on the wall, wrapped the iron chain around the shoulder pole, and then hung the bucket on it, preparing to go to the river to get some water.

As soon as he arrived at the river, he ran into Liu Weiguo who was about to go back after fetching water. It was obvious that he could not hold it any longer and secretly ran back to see his wife.

Fortunately, chainsaw operators are different from other workers. If they work quickly, they can finish two or three days' work in one day, find time to do a side job, and also take the opportunity to find a way to go home.

When Yan Xue saw the other person's eyes fall on the bucket she was carrying, she didn't even wait for him to ask, "Qi Fang is on secondment to the county machinery factory and is not at home."

Liu Weiguo glanced at her and said, "I know Qi Fang isn't home. I was thinking, why don't I help you fight? It's a bit slippery here, and it's easy to fall."

This made Yan Xue pause. He thought that Liu Weiguo, like everyone else, was also going to ask Qi Fang.

Liu Weiguo noticed it and chuckled, "What's the matter? Qi Fang has only been gone for a day, and you're already missing him?"

I can't say I wanted to, but they all insisted on asking...

Yan Xue was not afraid of his teasing, and she smiled and teased back, "That's definitely not what you think your wife thinks."

Liu Weiguo had to admit, "I have two, right? There's even a little one in my belly."

I couldn't help but share this with Yan Xue, "My mom said he's stopped vomiting and can eat a lot. He must be a tough kid."

Liu Weiguo was not at home, and Huang Fengying was worried about Zhou Wenhui being alone at home, so she simply took her to her place and took care of her personally.

Yan Xue often visited the Liu family, so how could she not know about this? Seeing him grinning so hard that his teeth were showing, she asked, "Did you hear about what happened at the forest farm a few days ago?"

Liu Weiguo immediately beat his chest and stamped his feet, heartbroken and annoyed. "Why are you the same as Qi Fang, picking on the most painful parts of people?"

Who told him to be unable to keep secrets and always like to show off? If Yan Xue were Qi Fang, she would sometimes want to say something mean to him.

Yan Xue was small after all, so Liu Weiguo wanted to help her get some water, and she didn't necessarily want to refuse his kindness.

After the fight, Liu Weiguo called her back and said, "If Qi Fang is not here for anything, go find my mom. If not, come up the mountain and find me."

This is something only close friends would say. Yan Xue smiled and nodded, then couldn't help but say, "Qi Fang went to the county, but it's not far away. Didn't he go to the mountains to cut wood and not be home for several months?"

"That's different," Liu Weiguo said. "He's in the mountains. You can go see him whenever you want. If there's anything, he'll come down as soon as you call him. It's not like in the county."

That's true. Yan Xue said that Qi Fang had left before, but it wasn't like this time. There was a kind of...

There is a sense of separation.

Anyway, if you meet an acquaintance, you will always ask her a few questions.

When they got home, even the second old lady kept saying, "I heard that this machinery factory in the county is quite impressive. Half of the internal combustion engines used in the forest farm are produced by them. There must be a lot of talented people there. I wonder if Xiao Qi will be bullied if he goes there."

Yan Xue was pouring water into the water tank and laughed when she heard this. "Are you still afraid that others will bully him? It's good that he doesn't bully others."

"Look at what you're saying." The old lady looked at her slowly. "Xiao Qi is such a good kid, how could he bully others?"

That's because you didn't see the adultery scene, nor did you see how scared Miss Yan was in front of Qi Fang.

Yan Xue put down the empty bucket and just picked up another one when Aunt Guo came in and asked, "Has your Xiao Qi left yet?"

Yan Xue was helpless after being asked this question. She continued to pour water and said, "He left yesterday. Is there anything wrong with you?"

When Auntie Guo heard this, she exclaimed, "Oh my!" "Why did he leave yesterday? Someone from the repair shop was looking for him."

Someone from the small repair factory came to look for Qi Fang?

Yan Xue paused and asked Auntie Guo, "Auntie, do you know who is looking for him?"

"Someone from some research institute." Aunt Guo couldn't quite put her finger on it. "Anyway, they said Xiao Qi helped them solve a big problem, and they came to thank them."

She obviously had a good impression of him. "He's quite modest. Such a big shot still came here in person."

Yan Xue listened and lowered her eyelashes.

It seems that Wu Xingde transferred Qi Fang away. It is still unknown what the county’s plan is, but at least half of it is aimed at the forest farm.

I just don't know if the other party wants to find out from other people, or start with her...
