Chapter 104 I will personally take you to report
"Well... your factory isn't so short of people, is it?" Aunt Hua pointed at Lin Xiangnan's belly. "Xiao Lin is still pregnant. She can't stand the fatigue."
Seeing that Aunt Hua was trying to shirk the responsibility for him, Lin Xiangnan relaxed, opened his lunch box and started eating.
Aunt Hua studied art before. Although she knew how difficult it was to work in technology, she didn't know how difficult it was, and she didn't know that Lin Xiangnan was really good at it.
When she heard Director Jin complaining about Chief Engineer Zhang, she thought that Chief Engineer Zhang was being pretentious on purpose.
People with real abilities are the backbone of the factory and should be respected, but they should not be too arrogant.
Director Jin has worked so hard to get the information, so even if Chief Engineer Zhang and his team find it difficult, they should withstand the pressure and move forward.
When they were fighting in the past, there were no advanced equipment and the old craftsmen could file guns for them by hand. Now that conditions are better, they have more excuses.
But Chief Engineer Zhang really didn't make any excuses. He was taught by his own master and had strong comprehensive abilities, but average calculation skills. Regardless of whether the data was correct or not, it would take him at least two or three years to calculate the project by himself.
He is the chief engineer of the factory and has a lot of things to do. How can he have so much time?
Apart from him, there aren't many other people in the factory who can be used.
Now that a talented person has finally arrived, Chief Engineer Zhang must of course seize the opportunity. He looked carefully at Lin Xiangnan who was eating.
"Although Comrade Xiaolin is pregnant, she has such a good appetite and eats so much, so she must be very strong. Besides, our department mainly deals with data and drawings, so it's not tiring."
Listening to Chief Engineer Zhang's words, Lin Xiangnan paused for a moment while picking up food with his chopsticks. "How could I have eaten too much? I'm just hungry."
Chief Engineer Zhang is a straight man. He continued, "Being able to eat is a blessing. It's better to eat more. You should eat more. This way you will be healthy and have more energy to work."
"I'm not making excuses." Lin Xiangnan put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "My brain works very fast when it's in use, but it can only be used for a short time, at most one or two hours. If it's used too much, it won't work. Do you understand what I mean?"
Chief Engineer Zhang replied: "I understand. I just overused my brain and need a rest."
Seeing Lin Xiangnan talking nonsense in a serious manner, Aunt Hua's mouth twitched. What do you mean by overusing your brain? It's just laziness.
In other words, she is retired now and has come to terms with it. If she had met a soldier like Lin Xiangnan when she was young, she would have kicked him away with one kick.
But now she still admires Lin Xiangnan's attitude towards life. Aunt Hua said: "Xiao Lin is here to accompany the army. Now she is pregnant, so she will definitely focus on her family. I was planning to introduce a job to Xiao Lin before, but she refused. Let's forget about recruiting her to the factory."
As soon as Director Jin said this, Chief Engineer Zhang got anxious before he could say anything. "How can this be possible? Women can hold up half the sky. Comrade Xiaolin should learn from our Director Jin. Focus on both family and career!"
Lin Xiangnan just said that he cannot stay on standby for a very long time and can only work for a short time in a day.
Even after all this, Chief Engineer Zhang still refuses to give up.
Aunt Hua was really confused. She looked at Lin Xiangnan again and again with suspicion and asked Director Jin, "Is Xiao Lin really that amazing?"
Aunt Hua now feels like a child who doesn't comb her hair or wash her face at home, and looks like a beggar with unkempt hair, but as soon as she goes out, she turns into a beautiful female star.
The contrast was so great that she was unable to react.
It’s true, Lin Xiangnan also had this feeling, a sense of unreality that a poor student suddenly became a top student.
Director Jin doesn't understand technology, but she understands her subordinates. Chief Engineer Zhang is so anxious, how could it be fake?
"Sister Hua, what is your relationship with me? Would I cheat you? Just leave Xiaolin to me, and I will definitely take good care of her."
Her old comrade was still reliable. After being persuaded by Director Jin, Aunt Hua nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you."
"I haven't agreed yet." Lin Xiangnan quickly swallowed his food and raised his hand to express his opinion. "I get tired quickly. I really can't stand the 8 am to 6 pm days. If I'm tired, I'll be late and leave early, and I'll be criticized... That's too miserable."
She earns so little money, has to go out early and come back late, and is scolded by her boss. She is not short of money, so why bother?
Her brain is much more useful now, but the real big shots are all working on atomic bombs in the desert. At her current level, it is a joke for her to say that she can contribute to national defense.
But the country may not need her, but this factory does.
The factory’s funds and materials are all approved by the government, but how much can be approved depends on the factory’s own ability. No matter how extensive the factory director’s network of contacts is, it cannot compare to the quality of the factory’s products.
Director Jin also wanted the higher-ups to proactively provide resources to the factory instead of begging for them.
Seeing that Lin Xiangnan was trying to shirk her responsibility, she made the decision directly: "You are pregnant now, so it is not suitable for you to work too long. So, you can be a specially hired technician in our factory. You can go to work when your brain is working well, and take leave when you are tired. I will never criticize you, and I will write you a letter of guarantee. This way, you will have nothing to worry about."
Chief Engineer Zhang also immediately said: "I will approve all your leave requests."
His future direct supervisor and the senior leaders in the factory all took a step back, which made Lin Xiangnan feel embarrassed to refuse.
"I..." Lin Xiangnan wanted to say something else, but felt that it was just words, not convincing. "Okay, come if you want. Anyway, after waiting for a long time, you will know who I am."
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Hua's expression became strange.
Chief Engineer Zhang was very happy. "Then I will take you to complete the entry procedures this afternoon, and you can report in tomorrow. How about that?"
"Okay." Lin Xiangnan agreed readily.
Gu Zhenhua was still training outside, so Lin Xiangnan didn't need to discuss it with anyone and decided the matter directly.
The next morning, she had just gotten up and went downstairs to wash up, and hadn't made breakfast yet when Aunt Hua came to her with a lunch box.
"There are porridge, eggs and steamed buns. I'll get them for you from the canteen." Aunt Hua said as she opened the three-layer lunch box.
This person usually only cared about eating for free, but today he actually took the initiative to bring her breakfast.
Lin Xiangnan was flattered. He stared at Aunt Hua again and again, "This is too strange. Why did you think of sending me breakfast?"
"Aren't you going to work today? I was afraid you'd oversleep this morning and forget about it."
Lin Xiangnan was speechless. "How can I sleep when the wake-up call is so loud?"
"Who can say for sure about your affairs?"
Aunt Hua said in a complicated way: "I brought you here. If you were late on the first day, it would be a loss of face for me."
"Eat quickly. After you finish eating, I will personally take you to the factory to report."
