In the evening, the couple stayed in their room and read.
Qin An Ning was concentrating on reading a book called "Principles of Prescriptions". Lu Cheng took out a book, looked at it for a few seconds, and then put it down. Then he took out another book, looked at it for a few seconds, and put it down again.
"What are you doing?"
"These books are all about the most basic mechanical knowledge. I have taken the time to finish reading them in the past two days. I plan to show them to my second brother.
We both know how things will develop in the future. My second brother can't be a worker and then be laid off when he's in his forties, right?
I'll let him read some books first to see if he's cut out for it."
If that doesn't work, he will encourage his second brother to go into business after the reform and opening up.
It's impossible for him and his eldest brother's life to get better and better while his second brother's life gets worse and worse.
“I think my second brother is working very hard. If you want to guide him in this direction, just talk to him.
If he is really interested, you two can study together in the future."
Lu Cheng put the book aside and hugged Qin An Ning, "Wife, when it comes to studying, I may really need you to teach me.
Although I graduated from high school, I didn’t learn much real cultural knowledge.”
When Lu Cheng was in high school, the riots were at their worst. The slogan at the time was, "Education must serve the politics of the proletariat and must be combined with the spirit of labor."
Therefore, the majority of the high school life, which originally only lasted two years, was spent on labor. Even during class, if a student was dissatisfied, the teacher would not dare to speak up, fearing that he would be "rebelled."
"Most aspects of mechanics rely on math and physics. Could you help me with these two subjects first?"
“Okay, I did pretty well in these two subjects in high school.
There are also my high school books in the space, you can read them first and ask me if you don’t understand anything.”
The two were talking when the door was slammed.
"Who is it at this late hour?"
Lu Cheng muttered as he got up, put on his shoes and went to open the door.
"Brother, brother, open the door quickly."
Lu Dongshuang's voice outside was filled with anxiety. Lu Cheng quickly took a few steps to open the door, "Third sister, what happened?"
Lu Dongshuang was holding Pan'er and running out of breath.
"The pharmaceutical factory, I don't know what happened in the laboratory. Rong Gong next door was called away, and he asked me to tell Ning Ning."
Qin Anning couldn't sit still when he heard about the problem in the laboratory. He quickly put on his clothes and shoes and hurried out. "I'll go to the factory to take a look."
"I'll go with you." Lu Cheng hurriedly followed Qin An Ning.
"Second brother, please help me send my third sister back."
Cheng Yanlang responded.
When Qin Anning and Lu Cheng arrived at the pharmaceutical factory, there were many people gathered at the door of the drug research room, and there was a burnt smell.
"Make way, make way."
Qin Anning squeezed over and saw the laboratory in a mess.
Most of the office area and laboratory were burned, and because a lot of water was used to put out the fire, the entire ground was wet.
"What happened? Why did the fire start?"
Rong Zhizhou shook his head with a dejected look on his face, "I don't know either."
He had just been called over and didn't know what had happened.
"Did you fail to shut down the machine properly when you left the lab, which caused the fire?"
Deputy Director Yang stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Qin An Ning with a bad look.
"Impossible. We always check everything before leaving get off work." Rong Zhizhou was very sure of this.
"Then why did the fire happen out of nowhere? Nothing like this has happened in the pharmaceutical factory in all these years."
Qin Anning sneered, "The biggest loss from the laboratory fire would be suffered by the factory, followed by the people in our pharmaceutical research lab.
There are a lot of experimental records and data here that are the result of our hard work. Now they have been burned, which means that a lot of our efforts have been wasted.
Deputy Director Yang didn't investigate the cause of the fire, but instead simply put the blame on us. Is he trying to shirk responsibility or does he have some other motive?
"I just have a reasonable suspicion. Don't be so sarcastic." Deputy Director Yang glared at Qin An Ning.
"I'm just raising reasonable questions. Deputy Director Yang, there's no need to get angry."
"What's your attitude, you..."
"Alright, stop arguing!" Director Sun shouted. "Is this the time to start a quarrel?"
Director Sun gave Deputy Director Yang a warning look.
Normally he could turn a blind eye to some minor actions, but now that such a big thing has happened, he still ignores the overall situation. Does he still want to be the deputy factory director?
"Xiao Rong, Xiao Qin, come over and take a look. Are these devices still usable?"
Director Sun's heart was bleeding. These equipments were bought with money, and now they were burned like this, it would cost a lot of money again.
Qin Anning and Rong Zhizhou walked over and shook their heads as they looked at the rescued equipment that had been burned black.
Experiments require precision the most. These instruments have been burned and doused with water over and over again. Even if the outside is not broken, the inside will be inaccurate due to water and dust problems, and the experimental data will be inaccurate, and they cannot be used at all.
However, Qin Anning's attention was not here. She found that the fire was not in the laboratory.
"Director Sun, who discovered the fire?"
A man with a shaved head stepped forward and said, "It's me. I saw a fire from the window while I was on patrol. When I called my colleagues to open the door, they found that the whole house was on fire."
Qin Anning nodded and continued to ask, "When you came to put out the fire, was the door locked or open?"
"It's locked."
They pried the door open in a desperate attempt to put out the fire.
Qin Anning turned his gaze to Director Sun. "Director Sun, I suspect the fire was arson. Do you think we should report it to the police?"
"Arson? Xiao Qin, you can't talk about this casually."
Although Director Sun is optimistic about Qin An Ning, it would be bad if he made public this matter without any evidence and caused panic among the people.
"Director Sun, look, the entire office area has been burned bare, nothing is left.
However, a small part of the laboratory was still preserved, which proved that the fire was not in the laboratory, otherwise the entire laboratory would have been lost.
The office area contained only tables, chairs, and benches, with no flammable or explosive items. How did the fire start?
Even if paper is easy to catch fire, there must be a fire source, right?
In the middle of the night, saying the fire was caused by the reflection of the sun is like burning newspapers at graves - just fooling the ghosts.
What else could it be if not man-made?
"Director Sun, is someone trying to destroy the research results?
Xiao Qin's heart medicine was only on its last legs and would soon be submitted for clinical approval. This fever wiped out all our months of hard work.
This matter must be investigated thoroughly and Xiao Qin must be given an explanation."
Rong Zhizhou was filled with anger. He was not even so sad when he lost his own experimental data.
He followed the heart medicine experiment from beginning to end. Although it was not his achievement, he also put in a lot of effort.
Besides, Xiao Qin taught him a lot, so he had to seek justice for Xiao Qin.
