When the security guard heard that they were from the Jiang Province Machinery Factory, the way he looked at them changed slightly. He looked at them a little more carefully, but he was not enthusiastic at all.
"So you're from the Jiang Province Machinery Factory participating in the competition. Then you can go in."
The security guard waved his hand and let them in, and then he didn't show any further intention to intervene.
Fortunately, Director Lin had been aware of this cold attitude from the beginning, so he wasn't surprised at all. He patiently said, "Comrade, we just got off the train and it's getting late. I'd like to ask where your factory has assigned us."
The security guard didn't answer. Instead, he looked at Director Lin like he was crazy and said, "How can you ask that? I don't know where you are assigned. I'm just a security guard. Do you think I'm in charge of this? People from small places are just ignorant."
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Director Lin, they were all scolded from Jiang Province.
Zhao Qiang and Lin Si wanted to rush up and argue with the security guard, but Director Lin stopped them with a look.
Even Li Miaomiao was a little annoyed by the security guard's attitude. She glanced at him casually and said, "Since the factory hasn't made any arrangements, let's stay at the guesthouse. They say Beijing is the capital of our country. I haven't seen much else in Beijing, but I have seen the attitude and quality of the Beijing Machinery Factory. Tsk."
Li Miaomiao didn't say much, and even her tone was the same as usual, but the security guard heard it with a different meaning.
As a security guard in the factory, his job is of course not just to guard the gate. In the past few days, technicians from all over the country who came to participate in the competition have come here, and the factory has made arrangements. Since he is guarding here, he naturally has the obligation to remind them.
There were participants from several large factories, and the factories even sent cars to the station to pick them up.
As for the Jiang Province Machinery Factory, of course someone told him so, otherwise he would not "treat them differently."
"Is there really no arrangement at the factory?"
Director Lin was very magnanimous and asked the security guard
The security guard was relieved now. Don't think he didn't know that there was a drought in Jiang Province. I heard that many people were starving to death. Why was he pretending to be so heroic? He wanted to see how this woman would look after pretending to be so arrogant and then come back to beg for help.
"I don't know. I've already told you I'm the gatekeeper. This isn't my business!"
Well, there's no need to ask this question.
Li Miaomiao was too lazy to confront a security guard. The security guard couldn't have been unaware that this competition was no small matter, and it wasn't just their Jiang Province Machinery Factory that sent people to participate in the competition. Why else would they be treated so coldly and harassed?
"Director Lin, let's go."
Li Miaomiao said this as she picked up her things and was about to leave. When they came over, she saw the location of the guesthouse from the car and made a note of it.
Director Lin and the other two saw that Li Miaomiao had already left with her things, so they hurried to catch up.
"Miaomiao, are we really going to the guesthouse?"
Even though Director Lin was extremely angry and dazed at this time, he was thinking about things all the way and did not notice the location of the guesthouse. Who could have thought that the Jingshi Machinery Factory would have such an attitude.
He originally thought that even if there was any neglect, it was only in words. He never expected that there was no place to stay here and he had to find a place to stay temporarily.
"Why go to the guesthouse? Why suffer such cold treatment here? Don't you see that they don't like us?"
Given the attitude of the Beijing Machinery Factory, Li Miaomiao didn't want to live in the accommodation they arranged. They might have to sleep on wooden boards on the floor.
Although the conditions in the guesthouse are not as good as at home, they are still better than those in the factory.
"Even though that's the case, it's still more convenient to live in the factory."
"But you can see that the factory hasn't made any arrangements, or if they have, they're deliberately making things difficult for us. Director Lin, just relax and spend the night at the guesthouse."
"I'm worried about the competition, and I can be more informed at the factory."
Director Lin attaches great importance to this competition. As it concerns the reputation of Jiangsheng Machinery Factory, he personally led the team here.
"Don't worry, the games all have dates, you already know that. And if they really can change the schedule and prevent us from participating, then we'll go back."
"We can't go back. We came all the way here just to participate in the competition."
"Director, we didn't originally want to participate in this competition. We were forced into this situation. If we can't participate, you shouldn't be the one to worry. After all, we did nothing wrong and arrived on time. It's them who didn't make the arrangements. To neglect guests who have come from afar is not the right way to treat guests, and it's certainly not what the organizers should do."
When Li Miaomiao said this, Director Lin suddenly realized what was happening and was no longer in a hurry.
Li Miaomiao was right. No matter how difficult it was for the Beijing Machinery Factory, it was not his fault. He came to participate according to the arrangements of the organizers and did not do anything wrong. If he could not participate in the competition, it was also the fault of the organizers for not making proper arrangements.
Director Lin actually understood this logic, but this was Beijing after all. In front of these big factories, the Jiang Province Machinery Factory could never be ranked. Even Director Lin, the factory director, had always been inferior to the directors of these big factories and had to adopt a low profile.
"Director, the level of our factory is now different from before. This competition was deliberately promoted by someone with ulterior motives. If that's the case, let's put it at ease."
Director Lin figured it out, and seeing Li Miaomiao's confident look, he suddenly felt confident enough himself.
"You're right, I was wrong. Let's stay at the guesthouse. Even though our factory has been affected by the drought this year, we have a solid foundation and can still afford to stay at the guesthouse!"
The machinery factory is different from other factories. Because of the drought, the factory cannot be unaffected, but relatively speaking, the impact is smaller. This is mainly due to the current technological improvement in the factory. The factory originally received more orders from other provinces, and this is even more so now.
Director Lin said this and walked forward with his group in a heroic manner. After walking for a while, he remembered that he didn't know the location of the guesthouse. This was not Jiang Province or any place he was familiar with.
Just as she was about to ask passersby, Li Miaomiao spoke up, "No need to ask. I looked all the way from the car just now and I know where the guesthouse is. It's not too far ahead. I'll take you there."
Although this is not a prosperous area in Beijing, there are large factories like Beijing Machinery Factory here, and all the surrounding facilities are complete. Where there are people, there will be demand, so there will naturally be a guesthouse.
Moreover, the conditions of the guesthouse here are quite good. It looks more grand than the guesthouse in Jiang Province.
Zhao Qiang said that it was obviously a guesthouse in Beijing, with the flavor of the capital.
