According to reports, this story begins at an entirely unscientific moment: Zhou Ziye, a designer who rose from creating counterfeit mobile phones, suddenly time-traveled back to the year 1984.
...Liu Quan will be busy for a month or two now. Just disassembling and sorting the components on these motherboards will keep him occupied.
Disassembling the parts will have to wait; now that all the materials are ready, we need to start working on the audio system. This is a big job.
The digital chip Xing Baohua wanted was in the canvas bag left behind by Liu Haibo. This time, however, he wasn't so generous; he didn't leave the leather bag.
All the small components for the audio equipment were in this bag. Xing Baohua and Liu Quan picked out the items, categorized them, and made notes.
Xu Shuai also started cutting and preparing the materials according to the dimensions drawn by Xing Baohua.
Anyway, everyone was busy with their own things. Taking a break, Xing Baohua took the digital chip to the factory's computer room to write code.
I met Director Liu as soon as I arrived at the factory.
"Xiao Xing! I have some news for you."
Xing Baohua stopped and walked up to Director Liu, saying, "Director, please speak."
"The equipment in Workshop 1 has been repaired, right? The comrades in charge of foreign affairs are going out for some fun. They'll be back tomorrow. Our factory will hold a farewell party for them tomorrow night. You should attend," Director Liu said.
"Okay, where? In the cafeteria?" Xing Baohua asked.
Director Liu waved his hand and said, "In the club's auditorium. We also need to give them an award; the auditorium is more formal."
"Okay, I'll be there when it's time." Xing Baohua said, and then turned to leave.
Director Liu stopped him again and said, "Come early tomorrow. You're in the reception team. City leaders might be coming too, and you'll need to help with the translation."
"Then come over as soon as possible, and I'll obey your orders. If there's nothing else, I'll go ahead and get busy," Xing Baohua said.
"Going to the computer room again? It's practically your home now." Director Liu said with a smile, pointing at Xing Baohua.
"No way, I need it right now. How about I teach you how to use it another day?" Xing Baohua said jokingly.
"You little rascal, are you trying to make fun of an old man? I recognize those letters, but they don't recognize me. Alright, go back to your work." Director Liu waved Xing Baohua away.
When they arrived at the computer room, while Su Ya was putting on shoe covers, Xing Baohua checked that there were no people in the hallway and he couldn't hear any footsteps. With lightning speed, he gave Su Ya a hug and stole a kiss.
Startled, Su Ya turned pale. After recovering from the shock, she quickly patted Xing Baohua's shoulder and said, "You're going to die! Don't you even know where you are?"
“You should apply for some curtains. Otherwise, it feels so exciting to even hug you,” Xing Baohua said with a smile.
"You're scared to death, don't get the wrong idea. If you wanted to install curtains, you would have applied long ago." Su Ya pouted and glanced at Xing Baohua.
Xing Baohua chuckled at her adorable expression. He shook his head slightly, walked to the computer, and began writing code.
While Xing Baohua was coding, Director Xue passed by. He saw Xing Baohua busy waving at Su Ya.
After Su Ya arrived, she asked, "What is he doing?"
Suya replied, a little nervously, "I know perfectly well. He said he would use a computer to process things."
"Oh, when he's done, have him go to the factory manager's office." Director Xue said and left.
Su Ya turned to look at Xing Baohua, who was completely absorbed in her work, wondering what the girl was thinking. After staring blankly for a while, she walked over and stood to the side, watching without saying a word.
When Xing Baohua finished his work and was packing his things, Su Ya told him that Director Xue wanted him to go to the factory manager's office.
"Director Xue has been here?"
Seeing Su Ya nod, Xing Baohua was a little puzzled as to why he hadn't been called.
Let Suya take the things back to her office first, and he can pick them up when he comes back.
I knocked on the door and entered the factory director's office, where I saw the factory director and Director Xue looking at two pairs of speakers.
I immediately understood why I had asked him to come: to study the loudspeakers produced by the factory next door.
"Xiao Xing is here, come and have a look," Factory Director Li said, waving.
Xing Baohua sat down and was immediately struck by its attractive and exquisite appearance. Made entirely of wood, the style had a rustic feel. The varnish was applied evenly and thickly, highlighting the wood grain while giving it a glossy sheen.
If you ignore the sound quality, the appearance alone is attractive.
"Do you have anything to try?" Xing Baohua asked.
"I've sent someone to get the tape recorder; it'll be delivered in a bit," Director Xue said.
When Xing Baohua picked it up to look at it, he saw a thread and laughed.
He said to the factory manager and Director Xue, "There's no need to bring a tape recorder. This is a passive speaker; there's no need to test it."
After saying that, he picked up a small pair of scissors from the pen holder on the factory manager's desk and began to violently dismantle the speaker.
Made of solid wood, the speaker enclosure doesn't use screws at all; instead, it employs dovetail joints with fish glue for a very sturdy construction.
Even Xing Baohua struggled to disassemble it; he even bent the small scissors.
"Do you have a screwdriver?" Xing Baohua asked the two leaders.
Seeing that the two shook their heads, Xing Baohua had no better ideas and simply smashed it on the ground.
It banged loudly.
The sound could be heard throughout the entire corridor, and everyone came out of their offices to look towards the factory manager's office.
Who angered the factory manager so much? Look how angry he is, he's even throwing things around.
Su Ya's face turned pale with fright. She knew that Xing Baohua had gone to the factory director's office. Was it because he had kissed her just now and someone had found out and reported him to the factory director?
