During the interview, even the HR person was a little incredulous and repeatedly asked Jin Shu if she really wanted to join the company.

Finally, after receiving Jin Shu's affirmative answer, he repeatedly emphasized to her that their position required working at the grassroots level, and in previous years they only recruited men. It wasn't gender discrimination, but mainly because only men applied for the job in their industry.

Agricultural machinery research should not only be conducted at the grassroots level and in workshops, but most importantly, it should be carried out in the fields.

The company was newly established and not very large. It was just a subsidiary of another group. Although it had "group" in its name, it actually had nothing to do with the word "group".

Fearing that Jin Shu might not be able to stand the job and would leave, the HR simply told her everything in advance.

After understanding everything, Jin Shu readily nodded in agreement.

The HR manager never expected that he would be able to recruit such a young, beautiful, and highly educated female graduate student for the R&D department in his lifetime.

The next day, Jin Shu arrived early to sign the contract. The company's manager came to see her in person, and the surprise in his eyes upon seeing her was genuine.

"She really is a stunning beauty. I thought the HR was exaggerating."

She's not even the average beauty you'd see on the street. With her looks, posture, and aura, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a big star if she wore sunglasses.

Jin Shu was used to this kind of exaggeration and smiled calmly.

"Manager, when can I go to the workshop?"

"Among all the college graduates who have come in, you are the first one who is eager to go to the workshop. Don't rush. After the three-month management trainee period, if you are suitable for other positions, you can be transferred later."

This situation is unthinkable for other new employees; once they choose this position, they will basically never be able to leave the workshop.

But when it came to Jin Shu, the manager gave her preferential treatment for the first time ever.

After all, she is highly educated and very beautiful. She might not be of much use if thrown into the workshop, but she would be of great use if taken out to discuss cooperation.

Being able to leave the workshop is something others would love to do.

But Jin Shu came specifically for this, and waved her hands repeatedly, saying directly.

"I don't need a management trainee anymore, and I don't need to rotate through other positions. I can just go directly to the workshop."

Jin Shu insisted, and the manager had no choice but to give her a set of work clothes and a work hat and hand her over to the workshop director.

The director had known for a while that a beautiful woman had joined the new batch of employees, but he thought he would never have the chance to see her. Unexpectedly, the girl became his subordinate.

After conducting a detailed safety training session, the director thought for a moment and decided to send the young girl to the R&D team to learn about the relevant processes for the factory's production equipment from the experienced seniors.

"Director, may I take a look at our factory's research and development facilities first?"

"Okay, here's what you do. You can learn from the R&D manager for a while. They have a new project recently, which is relatively simple and easy for you to get started with."

The research director is a man in his thirties who graduated with a doctorate from a science and technology university. He is currently a core R&D personnel in the factory, leading a dozen or so R&D staff, and is researching the anti-sinking ability of a new type of threshing machine.

Jin Shu was a newcomer. After a brief self-introduction, she was assigned to the last row of the office to study meeting minutes.

After spending a day obediently, Jin Shu roughly figured out the personalities of the members of the research department. Knowing that the supervisor was obviously a stubborn and rule-abiding person, Jin Shu took her design drafts directly to the manager.

The highest-ranking leader in the branch office is this general manager.

The general manager was promoted from the research department, so he could naturally understand the value of the blueprint that Jin Shu presented.

"Artificial rain bomb... You designed this blueprint yourself?"

Such a mature and detailed design clearly demonstrates strong feasibility. Leaving aside whether the product can actually be manufactured, the ability to hand-draw such detailed drawings is already quite impressive.

The general manager became interested and took the drawings, flipping through them repeatedly. The more carefully he looked at them, the more obvious the admiration and excitement in his eyes became.

“I’ve been interested in these things since I was a child. After graduation, I went straight to our company, hoping to use the company’s platform to develop my abilities.”

Manager, although our company is a branch of a state-owned enterprise, I did some research before I came here, and the performance is not good, and is even gradually declining.

Therefore, developing new products is the only way for the company to grow.

"General Manager, you are also a professional in this field. If you think I am capable, please give me a chance to work on the research and development of new products."

"Artificial rain bombs aren't exactly a new product, but our company hasn't actually been involved in any research in this area."

The few agricultural machinery companies currently on the market that possess the technology to develop artificial rainmaking bombs all hold patents. If we wanted to use them, we'd have to buy them at a high price. Since you think you can do it yourself, then give it a try.

Although I don't expect her to succeed, it doesn't matter if she fails, because it won't be any worse than her current half-dead state.

Jin Shu knew he would agree.

She specifically chose a branch of a state-owned enterprise, which was not very profitable but had complete facilities, so that she, as a new employee, would have a chance to show her abilities in front of the leaders.

The general manager agreed and directly assigned Jin Shu three members from the research department to form a new product research team, with Jin Shu as the team leader. After submitting the research topic to the head office, the project was launched immediately.

She was able to lead projects independently as soon as she joined the company, and it was directly approved by the higher-ups. They even skipped the R&D supervisor stage, effectively promoting Jin Shu to a position similar to that of a supervisor.

This was unprecedented, especially considering that Jin Shu was just a recent graduate student who received such special treatment.

This quickly led to a wide range of opinions about Jin Shu throughout the company.

Many people suspect she was hired through connections, while others believe that Jin Shu has a close relationship with the general manager.

However, Jin Shu didn't care about any of this. As long as she could get access to all the parts, she would eventually shut up those gossiping people outside.

After the group was formed, Jin Shu convened a short meeting with the other three people.

"I know you have opinions and views about me, but as long as I'm here, you have to pretend to be in the right mood. I'm your team leader now, and I'm in charge of an important project that will affect everyone's year-end bonus."

If we do a good job on the project, we'll reap both fame and fortune; if we don't, it'll be a complete waste of time, and our superiors might even doubt our abilities.

Please feel free to ask any questions now. Any doubts or thoughts are welcome. We're all the same age, graduated in the same batch, so there's no need for barriers; please speak freely. (End of Chapter)
