Chapter 287 See Who Scares Who
After get off work, Sun Yi went to Lin Xiangnan's house and praised Lin Xiangnan. He left without any hesitation.
"What do you mean?" Lin Xiangnan was confused. "It's inexplicable."
But since Sun Yi was here, Lin Xiangnan did not stay idle at home any longer. He took the initiative to go to Chief Engineer Zhang with gifts to reminisce about the past, after all, he was his old leader.
You can talk about feelings, but not work.
It was not easy to get a summer vacation, and Lin Xiangnan didn't want to work hard in a dark workstation for the next two months.
So when Lin Xiangnan went there, he took Dabao with him. At the critical moment, Dabao cried a few times, and Lin Xiangnan could find an excuse to leave.
"Mom, hurry up, I want to go back and play in the mud with my sister."
Lin Xiangnan patted his head soothingly, "I know, it won't take long. Show up, talk for a while and then leave."
The factory has been busy recently, but it is not busy with any important major projects, and Chief Engineer Zhang did not mention asking Lin Xiangnan to come back to work.
It’s obvious that Lin Xiangnan would not be happy about it.
Moreover, Lin Xiangnan's organizational relationship is with the school, so he cannot be paid wages for his work, only bonuses. Chief Engineer Zhang cannot justifiably assign tasks to Lin Xiangnan.
He only cared about encouraging Lin Xiangnan's studies, "Study hard in school and don't bring shame to the unit. If you have any difficulties and the unit can help, just tell me directly..."
Lin Xiangnan, on the other hand, took the initiative to ask, "Has there been any recent changes in the factory?"
"Change? What could change? It has been like this for so many years."
Lin Xiangnan specifically asked about Sun Yi's situation, "How is Mr. Sun doing recently?"
"He has been working very hard recently." Chief Engineer Zhang praised him with a pleased look on his face.
If this topic is extended further, it will lead to work. Lin Xiangnan didn't want to ask anymore. He made Dabao cry and found an excuse to take him away.
Lin Xiangnan didn't get anything out of Chief Engineer Zhang, but when he was chatting with Aunt Hua, she directly revealed the information.
"Sun Yi from your office is also going to study in Beijing next semester. Did he tell you?" Aunt Hua made a hissing sound while chewing chicken feet. "You were too heavy-handed today. You put too much chili. It's so spicy."
"When I was working, Xiaobao pulled my sleeve and I poured too much chili."
Lin Xiangnan spat out the chicken bone and said with sudden realization: "No wonder Sun Yi came to my house specially to praise me for getting into the university with great difficulty and told me to study hard."
"He didn't take the postgraduate exam. He was recommended by his company." Aunt Hua spoke inside information as soon as she spoke. She had a close relationship with the factory director next door, Jin, and she knew all the gossip in the factory.
"I know it was recommended. Our teacher told me that this batch of graduate students were recommended by research institutes, scientific research institutions, and schools and other related departments. The teacher will accept the students first and then return them if they are not qualified."
Sun Yi was a serious college student ten years ago and has been on the front line all these years. He has the ability and there is no chance of him falling back.
"He must think that he can study for a master's degree without taking the exam, while I worked hard to take the exam and am still a freshman. Next semester, he will definitely show off in front of me on purpose. I see through him..."
As he spoke, Lin Xiangnan showed a speechless expression.
This bad friend is so mean and deliberate in order to show off.
Just to be able to see Lin Xiangnan's shocked and envious expression a few months later, Sun Yi specifically asked Chief Engineer Zhang and the people in the office not to let the secret leak out.
Not many people knew about this matter, and Sun Yi himself did not publicize it.
Good things should be kept secret until they are done, to avoid any accidents. Otherwise, someone may send a letter of complaint and ruin the matter. Some people do not meet the requirements themselves, but they cannot bear to see others taking advantage of them.
Sun Yi is cautious in doing things, and so is Lin Xiangnan.
Gu Zhenhua will also go to Beijing next semester. His family has been keeping a low profile recently, fearing that they might offend someone or cause any accidents. Lin Xiangnan did not tell anyone about his postgraduate study quota.
It's already enviable enough that she was admitted to a good university. If she had more, it would easily make people jealous.
"Your participation in the college entrance examination is not in vain. After graduation, you can also study for a master's degree." Aunt Hua comforted her, "There is only one quota, and Sun Yi is an old employee of the factory with a high degree. It's not easy for you to compete..."
If there were enough places, the factory director would like to send all the employees in the department to study further, and then with dozens of high-end technical talents under his control, their factory would take off directly.
But there is only one vacancy, and without Sun Yi, there are other senior employees. In terms of contribution, Lin Xiangnan is unlikely to win the competition.
Seeing Lin Xiangnan's strange expression, Aunt Hua said, "Some professors also have recommendation quotas. Why don't we ask Lao Guo, Lao Liu and others? They should be qualified."
These are people I helped in previous years, so there's nothing wrong with asking about this.
"There are quotas in the factory and in our school as well." Lin Xiangnan smiled delicately, "The teacher in the department gave me this quota. Sun Yi wanted to see my shocked and envious expression, but I'm afraid he won't see it."
"You have one too? Oh! You are really awesome!"
Aunt Hua patted Lin Xiangnan's shoulder heavily and said, "I knew you would be a promising kid. I was right."
"Don't tell anyone," Lin Xiangnan warned, "especially Director Jin."
"Don't worry! I guarantee Sun Yi won't find out!" Aunt Hua said with a wicked smile, "Let's see who scares whom!"
"How could we say that we are bosom friends?"
Since everyone is bad enough, let's see who is worse.
Lin Xiangnan and Aunt Hua looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
So the next time Sun Yi came, Aunt Hua would come and watch with her own melon seeds without being invited.
"The factory is distributing benefits this month, and I brought you a bag of pears. Although you are not working in the factory temporarily, you are also a member of our factory." Sun Yi smiled brightly as he carried a bag of pears.
Lin Xiangnan asked knowingly, "Why are you delivering it? I thought it was young people like Wang Shuhua running errands."
"Hey, I volunteered to come here."
Sun Yi glanced around and said, "You are still reading? This is a good habit! Study hard, strive to graduate, and then study for a master's degree."
"It takes too long to study in college for four years and then study for a master's degree." Lin Xiangnan smiled and said, "I don't want that."
Aunt Hua smiled subtly; she understood Lin Xiangnan's subtext. Lin Xiangnan thought four years was too long, so he went straight to graduate school in his freshman year.
But Sun Yi didn't know the inside story, so he smiled and said, "What's the big deal? Everyone has gone through this. Comrade Xiao Lin, I'm optimistic about you!"
