Wang He arrived at the workshop early that day. Liu Jun and Shen Xuebing had never let her participate in the group's experiments, and she couldn't let things continue like this.

She wanted to see the experimental data they left in the workshop, and ideally, she could start doing experiments herself.

When she arrived, there were only a few people scattered throughout the factory, and the testing workshop was completely deserted.

He stood still, staring intently at the cabinet where their group kept the data.

Liu Jun and Shen Xuebing never let her look at their things.

Song Qing came in with Zhao Qin today, and she was thinking about what wedding gift to prepare for Zhou Shuyi on the way.

I still have a few scraps of cloth left. How about I make a set of pillowcases and then go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a pair of enamel mugs?

Zhao Qin was talking to her about winter vegetables. The two of them came around the same time and had both experienced a period of not having vegetables to eat. Now they consider storing winter vegetables to be of utmost importance.

“Go to the village and ask if they have a pickling jar to buy. If my third aunt has any good vegetables, I’ll ask her to keep an eye out for us. We can pickle a big jar of vegetables, and that will be enough to eat no matter what.”

As is customary, she first went to inspect the machines under her responsibility.

"Technician Song, you're here so early today? I brought two ears of corn, want one?"

"Technician Song, is there something wrong with this machine? Why is it making a constant noise?"

Song Qing was considered young in the entire workshop, and since everyone was too embarrassed to call her Xiao Song directly, they added "technician" after her name.

She declined the workers' offer of corn and went to fix the machine. When she entered the test workshop, almost everyone had already arrived, but the atmosphere was very strange.

However, the atmosphere in the testing workshop was often strange, which she had gotten used to. Just as she was about to walk to her seat, she saw Ma Lanxiang frantically trying to wink at her.

"What's wrong?"

Liu Jun, who was standing next to him, let out a cold snort and swept his disdainful gaze over.

Song Qing was completely baffled, but Liu Jun often gave her that look, so apart from rolling her eyes, she didn't find it strange at all.

Ma Lanxiang sneaked up to her and asked, "One group said someone tampered with their data?"

Why is it them again? Last time they said someone tampered with the machines, and this time they say someone tampered with the data.

“If any comrades really don’t know how to do something, they can come and ask me. There’s no need to secretly look at our group’s data. Last time they tampered with the machine, and we didn’t say anything. This time they’ve tampered with the data again. What about next time? Are they going to secretly replace our materials?”

The people in Group Two and Group Three looked at each other, all of them completely bewildered.

How do you know the data has been tampered with?

Why was it moved? Was it changed?

Shen Xuebing frowned. "We made marks on the data book so that it would leave a mark whenever someone opened it."

Last night after work, we put our things in the closet, but when we came in this morning, it had been tampered with.

"this……"

"Some people would be better off focusing their energy on the right path; wouldn't it be better to spend that time reading more books?"

As Liu Jun spoke, he looked at Song Qing, who rolled her eyes at him.

"Comrade Liu Jun, is your eye twitching or something? Why are you staring at me? Do you think I'm the one who moved it?"

“I didn’t name names. If you step forward and admit it yourself…”

Song Qing snorted coldly and interrupted sharply. "Come on, you've been watching me the whole time, aren't you just suspicious of me? Do you have any evidence? You said you found it this morning. I wasn't the last one to leave last night, and I wasn't the first one to arrive this morning. What makes you say it was me?"

"If you think I came here secretly at night, you can ask the security department."

Since the incident involving Wei Lan and Zhou Lian, the factory's security department has been trained to register anyone entering the factory area after get off work, no matter how late it is, and the same applies when leaving.

"you!"

“Did I say something wrong? If there’s no evidence to accuse me, and you’re constantly making veiled accusations in the workshop, leading everyone to misunderstand me, then I’ll have to go and clarify things with the factory manager and the others.”

"Who else could it be but you? Who's in such a hurry to develop the fabric before our group?"

Song Qing was indeed anxious, but why was he in such a hurry to get ahead of their group?

Song Qing: "Why should I be in such a hurry to appear in front of your group?"

Liu Jun snorted coldly, practically rolling his eyes to the sky, "You know it yourself."

Song Qing took a deep breath, feeling that it was difficult to communicate with him. What did she know?

"Since this happened in our workshop, for the sake of everyone's production materials safety in the future, we still need to find that person. Otherwise, who would dare to leave anything in the workshop in the future?"

This will also prevent Comrade Liu Jun from misunderstanding me.

"Exactly. If someone is really going through other people's files, we need to find them as soon as possible. Otherwise, if everyone complains about something, how will we get to work?"

"There are only 9 people in our workshop now, and outsiders don't usually come in. If you want to check, then check."

Director Zhang was just about to come and pick up some things when he thought he'd stop by the testing workshop to take a look and see how their work was progressing.

To my surprise, when I opened the door, I found everyone inside standing there with serious expressions.

"What's wrong?"

Ma Lanxiang quickly told Director Zhang, "We were thinking that if someone really tampered with the things, we should find the person as soon as possible, otherwise people will be in a panic and we'll have to lock the doors when entering and leaving the workshop."

Director Zhang frowned and asked Shen Xuebing to bring out the data book.

Are you sure someone has tampered with it?

Shen Xuebing was a little nervous because he didn't expect Director Zhang to be outside. He calmed himself down and told her about the markings they had made.

Wang He stood to the side, clenching her teeth tightly, without making a sound, her hands gripping the hem of her clothes.

She could never have imagined that Liu Jun and the other man had made marks on the data notebook.

After listening to them for a while, Director Zhang confirmed that the notebook had indeed been tampered with.

"If anyone has indeed tampered with their notebooks, they should step forward now."

Wang He held her breath and didn't move. If she moved, she didn't believe they could still find her.

Liu Jun wanted to tell Director Zhang about the people he suspected, but Director Zhang just waved his hand.

Who was the last to leave last night?

Wen Hui, the group leader of Zhao Qin's group, raised her hand, "I was the last one to leave last night, but I ran into my roommate when I went out, and we went back to the dormitory together. She can vouch for me the whole way."

If someone enters the factory area again at night, it must be recorded, so even if someone lies, they can't hide it.

"Who was the first one here this morning?"

“Zhao Qin and I came together. We can vouch for each other along the way. I went to check the machines first. When we arrived, there were already people in the workshop.”

Zhao Qin was the same. Wang He was so nervous that she was sweating profusely. She was the first one to arrive, but she left after looking at the data.
