Liu Lu carefully removed the cover from the corner of the motor, revealing the complex wiring and parts inside.

She carefully inspected every wire and every connector, hoping to find the root cause of the problem.

Time passed second by second, and fine beads of sweat appeared on Liu Lu's forehead.

She tried various methods, adjusted the connection of the parts, changed different materials, and even redesigned some of the circuitry, but the problem persisted.

The motor still experiences slight vibrations during operation, like a time bomb that could explode at any moment.

"Is it really going to all be for nothing?" Liu Lu was filled with anxiety and unease.

She has been working overtime for several days in a row with almost no rest, and is exhausted both physically and mentally.

Looking at the mountain of design drawings and experimental data piled up on the table, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

At this moment, little Liu Bei quietly walked to her mother's side and looked at her with her big eyes.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Her childish voice was full of concern.

Liu Lu forced a smile and patted her daughter's head. "It's okay, Mom is just a little tired."

"Mom, can I help you?" Little Liu Bei blinked her eyes and looked at Liu Lu expectantly.

Looking into her daughter's innocent eyes, Liu Lu felt a surge of warmth in her heart, but also felt even more helpless.

She knew her daughter wanted to help, but the problem she was facing was one that even an experienced engineer might not be able to solve, let alone a child.

"Thank you, baby. Mommy can handle it herself." Liu Lu gently hugged her daughter. "Go watch some TV. Mommy will be done soon."

Little Liu Bei nodded obediently, then turned and ran to watch TV.

As Liu Lu watched her daughter's retreating figure, her resolve grew even stronger.

She couldn't give up; she had to find a solution, not only for herself but also for her daughter.

Liu Lu took a deep breath and focused her attention on the motor again.

She checked every detail over and over again, trying to find the places she had overlooked.

Suddenly, her gaze fell upon an inconspicuous screw...

“Master Zhao,” Liu Lu suddenly looked up at Master Zhao, who was busy working nearby, “Come here for a moment and take a look at this screw…”

Upon closer inspection, Master Zhao, with his extensive experience, immediately identified the problem.

"Hey, Liu Lu, this screw is loose! No wonder the motor is shaking!" He picked up his tools and skillfully tightened the screw.

Liu Lu was shocked. Such a small screw had troubled her for so long!

She couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, but also a little relieved.

Fortunately, the problem was discovered in time; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

After the motor was restarted, it ran smoothly and there was no more shaking.

Liu Lu breathed a long sigh of relief, finally able to relax.

However, Liu Lu did not let her guard down because of this.

She decided to break with conventional thinking and work with Technician Sun to re-examine the entire project process, starting with the most basic steps to find other potential problems.

Technician Sun was initially confused, "Engineer Liu, the motor is running normally now, why do we still need to..."

"Prevention is better than cure," Liu Lu said firmly. "We can't wait until problems reappear before we address them; we must nip all potential risks in the bud."

Technician Sun was inspired by Liu Lu's seriousness and dedication, and also threw himself into the investigation.

They checked every step and every detail, leaving no stone unturned, to ensure that no potential problem could be found.

During this process, they discovered some design flaws and process deficiencies, and promptly made improvements and optimizations.

After several days of hard work, they finally eliminated all potential risks and ensured the project's success.

The project has been successfully completed!

Factory Director Wang was overjoyed and decided to hold a celebration party at the factory, and specially invited industry expert Mr. Zhou to attend.

At the celebration party, Director Wang excitedly announced: "Comrades, thank you all for your hard work during this period. Our project has been a complete success! This is inseparable from the outstanding contributions of Comrade Liu Lu, she..."

Liu Lu listened to Director Wang's praise with a smile, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

Just then, she felt a small hand gently tugging at the hem of her clothes.

She looked down and saw it was her daughter, Liu Bei.

"Mom, I want to go to the celebration party too," Liu Bei said softly.

Liu Lu hesitated for a moment, glancing at the bustling crowd around her, then at her daughter's expectant eyes...

"Beibei, come here."

At the celebration party, Liu Lu brought Liu Bei to her side, her soft little hands tightly gripping the hem of Liu Lu's clothes.

The workers gathered around and teased the adorable little Liu Bei.

"Mr. Liu, your daughter is so beautiful!" "She'll definitely be as outstanding as you when she grows up!" Liu Bei was a little shy from the compliments and hid behind her mother, secretly observing everyone.

She saw smiles on everyone's faces, their eyes filled with admiration for their mothers, and a sense of pride welled up in her little heart: Mom is amazing!

Factory Director Wang raised his glass and said loudly, "The successful completion of this project is all thanks to Comrade Liu Lu! She is not only technically proficient but also conscientious and responsible in her work. She is a role model for us to learn from!" Enthusiastic applause resounded throughout the venue, and Liu Bei clapped enthusiastically as well, her face flushed red.

After visiting the project's achievements, industry expert Mr. Zhou was full of praise.

He inquired about every detail of Liu Lu's project in detail, nodding in approval from time to time.

"Incredible! You are truly a promising young talent!" Old Zhou excitedly grasped Liu Lu's hand. "Your dedication to technology and innovative thinking have left a deep impression on me! This project not only solved the problems in our factory but also provided valuable experience for the entire industry."

Old Zhou paused for a moment, his eyes fixed intently on Liu Lu. "I have an idea. I'd like to recommend you for this year's 'Outstanding Engineer' award. What do you think?" These words caused an uproar throughout the room.

The "Outstanding Engineer" award is the highest honor in the industry, and only a very small number of elites can receive this honor each year.

No one expected that Mr. Zhou would value Liu Lu so much and give her such high praise and recommendation.

Liu Lu was taken aback at first, then a huge surge of joy welled up in her heart.

She never expected to have the opportunity to participate in such a selection, which was undoubtedly a huge affirmation and encouragement for her.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhou. I am willing to accept the challenge!" Liu Lu's voice was not loud, but it was full of determination and confidence.

Liu Bei looked up at her mother's sparkling eyes, her heart filled with pride and anticipation.

She held her mother's hand tightly, as if trying to hold onto this joy firmly.

After the celebration party, Factory Director Wang walked over to Liu Lu, patted her on the shoulder, and said meaningfully, "Liu Lu, prepare well."

Liu Lu took the envelope, her heart filled with doubt, and she couldn't wait to open it and see...

"Mom, what is this?" Liu Bei asked curiously.

Liu Lu looked down at her daughter and smiled, "It's a secret..."

Liu Lu returned home and eagerly opened the envelope.

Inside is detailed information about the "Outstanding Engineer" selection process, including selection criteria, procedures, and a list of past winners.

Liu Lu read through each item carefully, and the more she read, the more pressure she felt.

She knew that obtaining this honor would be no easy feat.

"Mom, what are you looking at?" Little Liu Bei asked curiously as she came closer.

“Sweetie, Mommy is going to participate in a very important competition,” Liu Lu explained with a smile. “If Mommy wins, she’ll get a really cool trophy!”

"Wow, then Mom, you must do your best!" Little Liu Bei clenched her little fist to cheer her mother on.

In the days that followed, Liu Lu began intensive preparations.

She works in the factory during the day and continues to study and research when she gets home at night, with almost no time to rest.

Factory Director Wang also gave Liu Lu his full support, and he specially arranged for Master Zhao and Technician Sun to assist Liu Lu in preparing the materials needed for the selection.

With his years of experience, Master Zhao provided Liu Lu with many valuable suggestions; Technician Sun helped Liu Lu organize and improve the technical documents and create a beautiful PowerPoint presentation.

With everyone's joint efforts, Liu Lu's preparations are progressing smoothly.

However, just days before the selection process was about to begin, an unexpected incident occurred...

One evening, Liu Lu was working overtime organizing documents when she suddenly received a call from an unknown number.

"Is this Liu Lu, Engineer Liu?" A deep male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, that's me. May I ask who you are?" Liu Lu felt a slight unease in her heart.

"I'm General Manager Li from [Company Name]. I heard you're preparing for the 'Outstanding Engineer' selection process?"

"Yes." Liu Lu was even more puzzled. How did this President Li know about this?

“I advise you to give up.” Mr. Li’s tone suddenly became firm. “This award is not something a nobody like you can covet.”

Liu Lu was stunned; she didn't understand why the other person would say that.

"What do you mean?" Liu Lu asked, barely suppressing her anger.

"You know what I mean," Mr. Li sneered. "If you know what's good for you, you'd better back off obediently, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Liu Lu retorted without backing down.

"Otherwise you'll regret it," Mr. Li said before hanging up the phone.

Liu Lu held the phone, her heart filled with doubt and anger.

Who exactly is this Mr. Li?

Why would he prevent himself from participating in the selection?

She had a vague feeling that there was a bigger conspiracy behind this matter...

"Mom, what's wrong?" Little Liu Bei asked with concern when she saw that her mother's expression was off.

Liu Lu took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"It's okay, baby, Mommy just ran into a little trouble."

"What trouble is it? Can I help Mommy?" Little Liu Bei asked innocently.

Looking into her daughter's innocent eyes, Liu Lu felt a surge of warmth and strength in her heart.

"Thank you, baby. Mommy can handle it herself." She patted her daughter's head, a determined glint in her eyes.

"Knock knock knock..." Suddenly, a series of urgent knocks broke the tranquility of the night.

Liu Lu's heart tightened; an ominous premonition welled up inside her...

She walked to the door and looked out through the peephole...

A strange man stood outside the door, holding a document in his hand, his expression serious...

"You are..." Liu Lu asked cautiously.

The man didn't answer, but handed the document in his hand to Liu Lu, saying, "This is for you."

Liu Lu took the document and opened it with a puzzled expression...

When she saw the contents of the document, her face turned deathly pale...

“This…this is impossible…” Liu Lu murmured in disbelief.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Little Liu Bei noticed her mother's unusual behavior and asked nervously.

Liu Lu hugged her daughter tightly, her body trembling slightly...

She didn't know how to cope with this sudden blow...

Outside the door, the man watched Liu Lu's retreating figure, a sinister smile creeping across his lips...

He turned and left, disappearing into the night...
