Sometimes a threat is not about saying harsh words, but about the other party having something that can scare you.
When Li Miaomiao came out with tea and tea cakes, she felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Although Deputy Director Wang and Director Qiu were smiling, their smiles were forced and a bit stiff.
Li Miaomiao glanced at Pei Guoan and understood
Here, the only one who can do this is Pei Guoan. I don’t know what he said to Deputy Director Wang and others, but it must not be something very pleasant.
"Come, Deputy Director Wang, Director Qiu, have some tea."
"This is some food I made myself. Try it. It tastes pretty good."
Li Miaomiao's enthusiasm livened up the awkward atmosphere. Deputy Director Wang seemed to be trying to ease the awkwardness. He took a few peanuts from the plate on the table and peeled them. When he put them in his mouth, his eyes lit up.
Director Qiu had the same reaction as Deputy Director Wang. The peanuts tasted really good, much better than those bought from the supply and marketing cooperative. If they were really made by Comrade Li Miaomiao herself, then Comrade Li Miaomiao was not only skilled in machinery, but also had extraordinary cooking skills.
"Comrade Li Miaomiao, now that your wife is here and she said it depends on you, what is your decision?"
"Yes, Comrade Li Miaomiao, have you thought it through? Our factory director said that as long as you come, the conditions and treatment will definitely not be worse than those at the repair shop. As long as your skills are strong, the treatment can be improved."
Originally, such conditions were to be discussed at the end and gradually increased, but with Pei Guoan on the side, Deputy Director Wang decided to show his utmost sincerity.
"Deputy Director Wang, I still want to work in the factory, but I don't want to be just a decoration. I want to really make use of what I have learned from my teachers and make a contribution to the factory."
Deputy Director Wang was delighted when he heard Li Miaomiao's words.
"That's great. We came specially to invite you because we value your skills, Comrade Li Miaomiao. Otherwise, we wouldn't take you so seriously. Of course, we hope you can make full use of your expertise."
"Yes, Comrade Li Miaomiao, we are so sincere because we are impressed by your skills. We fully support your idea and will arrange it as soon as possible." Director Qiu also said quickly.
Just kidding, if I didn't know Li Miaomiao's ability, and even guessed that the expert was behind Li Miaomiao, even if I took Pei Guoan's factor into consideration, there would be no need to be so humble and invite Li Miaomiao to the factory.
Even though Pei Guoan is very powerful, their machinery factory is one of the largest factories in Jiang Province.
"If that's the case, I can always go to work."
Li Miaomiao said happily, and then suddenly remembered something
"Just Deputy Director Wang, I heard that a machine in the factory broke down. Have the experts from other provinces come and fixed it?"
Li Miaomiao's casual question did make Deputy Director Wang and Director Qiu, who had been smiling somewhat, look sad, and they started to complain to Li Miaomiao.
"Haven't I heard that the experts from other provinces are very good? They are the best in China. Why can't they fix it? It doesn't sound like a difficult problem. If it were my teacher, he would be able to find the problem quickly."
"Your teacher? Who is your teacher?"
Deputy Director Wang and Director Qiu were most concerned about this issue. They had originally wanted to ask about it in a roundabout way, but Li Miaomiao brought it up herself. Both of them looked at Li Miaomiao with shining eyes.
"My teacher is..."
Li Miaomiao was about to say it, but suddenly thought of something, and a look of worry appeared on her face.
"What's wrong, Comrade Li Miaomiao? Do you have any concerns?"
Li Miaomiao's behavior actually confirmed Deputy Director Wang's guess. He had also inquired about that person's whereabouts before. Li Miaomiao's hesitation to speak was naturally related to some sensitive matters that were difficult to explain.
"I do have some concerns. My teacher is not ordinary. He doesn't want me to tell anyone that he taught me, for fear of causing trouble for me."
"Comrade Li Miaomiao, I believe you should know that the wind direction at the top has changed. Some comrades with ability and skills were sent to bad places due to misunderstandings in the past, but now the country needs talents, and many have been brought back."
Even though the wind direction at the top has changed, Deputy Director Wang still speaks cryptically, but he believes that Li Miaomiao understands what he means.
"Deputy Director Wang, what do you mean?"
"If I can find a way for the factory to operate and invite your master to work in the factory, what do you think?"
Deputy Director Wang made the decision after careful consideration. He and Director Lin had discussed this before and both believed that it was feasible to invite people to the factory. They just needed to use their connections and then transfer the connections to the factory in a legitimate manner.
It is true that the wind direction has changed and many experts have been asked to go back, so they dared to have such ideas.
Given the current situation in the factory, they have to take the risk, but fortunately the risk is not that big.
"If that's the case, I can go and convince my teacher. I believe he would be willing. It's just that my teacher's health is not as good as before, but I can assist him with a lot of work."
"Okay, if that's the case, then without further ado, I hope you can take me to see your teacher as soon as possible so that I can transfer my connections in sooner. As you know, our factory has a lot of work halted because of machine breakdowns. If this continues, we won't even be able to complete the basic tasks."
"No problem. I know my teacher's abilities. He studied abroad and is definitely better than the experts back home."
"I hope so. If your teacher can fix the machine, that would be great. Our factory will definitely not treat a meritorious person like him unfairly. If not, we will contact foreign experts as soon as possible. There is really no time to delay."
Now that things had come to this, Deputy Director Wang decided to be frank and let Li Miaomiao know directly the situation in the factory and everyone's anxious mood.
"Since it's so urgent, why don't you just complete the formalities and then go to the village to use some connections. Then you can directly bring my teacher over and let him check out the machine. Otherwise, given his current condition, he can't even leave the village, let alone see you."
After hearing what Li Miaomiao said, Deputy Director Wang hesitated for a few seconds and then agreed.
Li Miaomiao's ability is there, so he chooses to believe and take a gamble.
If Li Miaomiao really dared to lie to him, he would not be so easy to deal with and would naturally have ways to deal with it.
"Comrade Li Miaomiao, I'll go back and complete the formalities now. You need to tell me some information about your teacher."
Li Miaomiao nodded, and this time she readily copied the old man's identity information and name on a piece of paper and handed it to Deputy Director Wang.
