Chapter 105 Let’s Roll Together
"Personally send me to report? I've already agreed, how can I run away?" Lin Xiangnan shook his head and said, "The world has changed, and the trust between people has disappeared."
Aunt Hua glanced at her, remained unmoved, and calmly began to peel an egg for herself.
Because the army’s wakeup call was very early, Lin Xiangnan had a lot of free time after finishing his meal.
She didn't even look at Aunt Hua's expression. She took out a mirror and started braiding her hair to fix her style.
She first did a high ponytail and a bun, then separated it into two pigtails, and then worked on the whiskers on her forehead.
Aunt Hua just watched her dawdle, looking at her watch from time to time, "It's almost time, let's go to work."
"Then wait for two more minutes while I take down these two braids and re-braid them."
"So what did you do for so long?"
"I just braided it for fun. You should have a proper hairstyle when you go out."
Normally, they both had nothing to do and were very idle. While Lin Xiangnan was doing his hair, Aunt Hua would go and do the flowers and plants, and the whole morning would pass by in a hurry.
But now that Lin Xiangnan was about to go to work, Aunt Hua was no longer so stable. She looked at her watch again and urged, "Hurry up, why are you taking so long?"
"There's enough time. When I came back yesterday, I estimated the time. It only takes 10 minutes by bike. It's very fast."
Lin Xiangnan braided her hair into a simple braid before putting on her small shoulder bag and preparing to go to work.
Only after she was sent to the factory did Aunt Hua feel relieved and she ran straight to Director Jin's office for tea.
As soon as she saw Director Jin, Aunt Hua complained, "It's all because of you that you're trying to steal my people. Now there's no one left to play with me."
"When you retired, didn't you say you would go home to take care of your granddaughters? Aren't two granddaughters enough to keep you busy?" Director Jin asked curiously.
"My two granddaughters have to go to school and do homework after school. How can they have time to accompany me?" It is difficult for Aunt Hua to play with other family members in the family compound. After living here for so long, she only met Lin Xiangnan, who shares the same interests with her.
She had finally managed to teach Lin Xiangnan how to accompany her to drink tea and appreciate paintings, but the next moment Lin Xiangnan went to work, and she had worked for nothing for some time.
Director Jin said, "Since Comrade Xiaolin has this ability, he should use it. You are retired, but she is still young."
Aunt Hua couldn't help but feel sorry for herself. It wasn't that she didn't want Lin Xiangnan to go to work, it was that Lin Xiangnan himself was not ambitious.
Although Lin Xiangnan is not ambitious, she is here now and she is not doing nothing.
She took on all the tasks assigned to her. Without saying a word, she picked up the abacus assigned to her by the factory and started working.
After working for forty minutes, Lin Xiangnan didn't care whether he had finished his work or not. He just stood up to stretch his hands and feet, went to the corridor to look at the scenery, took an enamel pot to get hot water, and ate some snacks such as dried sweet potatoes and dried plums...
It seemed that Chief Engineer Zhang had given special warning to other colleagues in the office. Seeing her slacking off, they only dared to steal glances at her, but no one jumped out to say anything.
Lin Xiangnan was very strong and not tired at all. She just couldn't sit still and wanted to play.
After resting for more than ten minutes, Lin Xiangnan sighed and picked up the documents to get busy again.
She starts work at 8 o'clock and should get off work at 12 o'clock. She can have a two-hour break at noon.
But at ten o'clock, Lin Xiangnan went to knock on the door of Chief Engineer Zhang's office, holding the results of his morning work.
"Mr. Zhang, my mind is numb and I feel a little dizzy. I'll take two hours off in the morning."
This was all agreed upon in advance, and Lin Xiangnan didn't feel embarrassed. He used his rights unscrupulously on the first day.
Chief Engineer Zhang looked at his watch. It was exactly ten o'clock. As agreed, it would be two hours. It really was two hours.
"I've approved the leave application. Remember to have a good rest when you go back. If you need any help in life, be sure to report it to the organization." Chief Engineer Zhang said with earnest concern.
"Okay." Lin Xiangnan put down the information in his hand and turned around and left decisively.
As soon as she left, several colleagues rushed into Chief Engineer Zhang's office and started chattering.
"Mr. Zhang, this expert you mentioned is really arrogant. He asked for leave on the first day."
"Engineer Zhang, where is the data she calculated this morning? Where is it?"
Chief Engineer Zhang shook the paper in his hand and pointed to the pile of information in front of him.
"Here it is. I'm looking at the results. One set of data is actually pretty close to what Master Li estimated. When I looked at it, I suspected that some of the data in the information was wrong or missing. The newcomer Xiao Lin marked them all out, and they were indeed wrong."
"No way. I had an argument with Master Li yesterday, and Master Li was so angry that he wanted to hit me with a hammer." A technician looked embarrassed.
China's technological resources are backward, and many things are cobbled together from abroad.
But even if it is a replica, it is difficult, especially when the information is incomplete.
Some masters have been making weapons for their entire lives, but have never read any books, and all their conclusions are based on experience and feeling.
But the resources in the factory were not abundant, and they did not dare to act blindly without data support. Moreover, the old master could only determine a certain detail based on experience, and could not determine all the details.
A group of people, whether they understood or not, picked up Lin Xiangnan's manuscript and started reading.
"Yeah. Nice handwriting."
"The handwriting is indeed good. The writing is also neat, but the train of thought is too jumpy. I can't follow it. I don't quite understand it. Do you understand it?"
"No. Didn't you hear that I just praised the handwriting?"
"There are so many books in the reference room, why don't you read them?" Chief Engineer Zhang was very disappointed. "Look at you guys, and then look at Xiaolin. She can do the same work in two hours as you can do in two days. The key is that there are some jobs that you can't do."
Director Jin used Lin Xiangnan to pressure Chief Engineer Zhang, and Chief Engineer Zhang used Lin Xiangnan to pressure his subordinates.
"Xiao Lin graduated from high school and learned everything by himself. What about you? Xiao Qian and Xiao Zhou graduated from the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, so I won't talk about them. Xiao Sun, you were a college student ten years ago, and what happened?"
Xiao Sun complained for himself, "I only studied mechanical manufacturing..."
"Don't you know how to overcome difficulties yourself? Xiaolin can teach himself, why can't you?"
Chief Engineer Zhang repeated to his subordinate exactly what Director Jin had said to him, and then added a few more sentences.
"You guys, at your age, are not as good as a little girl like Xiaolin. Don't you feel ashamed? Anyway, I am embarrassed. When the factory director scolded me yesterday, I was so embarrassed that I didn't know where to put my face."
He can't be the only one who is forced to make progress, right?
If we want to roll, let's roll together.
