"Yes, what's wrong? You still need to communicate with that Russian? Don't they have any translators in their city?" That can't be right, Russians always have translators with them when they come over.
"It's not that I want you to translate it, but the instruction manual is incomprehensible to everyone. Even if someone translates it, we don't know if the translation is correct. Anyway, we still can't understand it after turning on the machine. That's why I thought I'd bring you, a college student, to take a look."
"Uncle Wu, we have a deal. Even if I go, it might not be of any use." She doesn't want to be blamed for everything. She won't suffer that loss.
"Don't worry, Uncle Wu is here. No matter what, we can't let them take advantage of us. Why don't you go home and pack your things? We'll meet at the train station in two hours."
"Okay, I'll head back now. We'll meet at the train station then, just the two of us?"
"No, Master Sun is coming along this time, so the three of us can look after each other." This matter is a bit troublesome, and having more people can help cover for us if necessary.
Qian Xiao quickly packed a few things and went home. She always brought two changes of clothes, not knowing how long she would be staying there this time.
In the city, a middle-aged man looked at the person who had just hung up the phone: "How did it go?"
"Don't worry, they said they brought that college student from their factory with them. Is that guy really reliable?"
The middle-aged man frowned slightly: "If what I've heard is true, this young comrade is no ordinary person. Do you remember the matter of the new machine at the steel rolling mill last year? It was this young comrade who solved it. He's a man with real skills."
His old friend told him this, otherwise he wouldn't have believed that a young man could be more experienced than those veteran workers. After hearing this, he asked around and several people said that this young man's skills were unparalleled.
"That's good. Damn it, those Russians are so damn unethical. The machines they sold us were probably broken from the start. Otherwise, how could they have broken down in less than a day? They're just watching because we can't produce any evidence."
Where are they?
"They said they were going hiking and went out early this morning. Pshaw, shameless. What a waste of all that good food and drink."
"This is a good thing. Just make sure he doesn't run into the younger comrades. If all else fails, we'll have to ask them for help in the end."
When it comes to the word "beg," the middle-aged men grit their teeth, as if they wish they could bite a piece of flesh off that foreigner.
Are they angry? They're absolutely furious! Damn it, they spent a fortune to buy a machine that the other party didn't want, and it's even broken! Anyone would be angry in that situation.
"Arrange for someone to pick him up at the station. Make sure everything is arranged well so that Comrade Ren feels at home."
"Yes, Factory Manager, don't worry, everything has been arranged."
"Also, communicate with the translator and try to make sure that the foreigner stays out and has fun for the next few days so he doesn't come back and cause trouble."
"Don't worry, we already talked to the translator last night. Luckily, the translator is one of our own."
The middle-aged man, who was called the factory manager, nodded. There was nothing he could do now. He could only hope that this young comrade was really as capable as those people said, otherwise he would have to go back and beg the old Russian.
He would rather go to the battlefield than do this job. Looking at their arrogant and ugly faces, he always wanted to get involved.
"You must hold back. We can't afford to fall out with them until the machine issue is resolved." He was genuinely afraid that his factory manager might lose his temper and get involved, which would complicate matters later, since those were foreigners.
How exhausting is it to have a factory manager with a bad temper? Every day you just want to tie someone up with a rope.
When Qian Xiao and the other two got off the bus, they were greeted by a brightly smiling face. They often saw such smiling faces, so Qian Xiao was no longer uncomfortable with it.
"Welcome, welcome. We'll have to trouble you three comrades now. Let's have lunch first, and then you three can rest well before we start working."
That's well said. No matter how anxious you are, you can't rush these people. Tech people tend to have eccentricities, and you don't want to offend them before you even start.
They didn't refuse; it was past noon and they were hungry, so they had to fill their stomachs first before doing anything else.
The group of people often travel for work and are used to eating in a hurry. They don't linger and wait to be served. They sit down and start eating, and once they're full, they get back to work.
"Take us there to have a look first."
"Ah! Well, why don't the three of you take a break first?" This is the first time I've seen such a straightforward technician; I'm a little taken aback.
"No need, let's see how things go first."
Every time they went out, an elderly person would lead them. Qian Xiao always stayed in the back on such occasions, as she was not used to such small talk and always felt there was nothing to say.
The three of them were delighted, and the steel mill workers were overjoyed. They quickly led their men to the factory where the new machines were located. It was quiet there; apart from their technicians, there wasn't a single worker in sight.
"It's this machine. It only lasted one morning after we brought it back, and then it stopped working. We wasted a lot of materials," she said angrily. Those materials were quite expensive.
"The technicians we hired have been dragging their feet. They only came to take a look, and it's been a week and they still haven't provided a solution."
After looking around the machine, Qian Xiao had a good idea of what it was like. Thanks to the various materials that Sun Kaicheng brought back from the apocalypse, Qian Xiao knew about almost all types of machines and had even simulated disassembling them.
Qian Xiao nodded to Master Wu, indicating that there was no major problem: "Take out the instruction manual first, let me take a look."
Upon hearing Qian Xiao speak, the steel factory workers didn't hesitate at all and handed him the instruction manual directly. Qian Xiao was taken aback for a moment, wondering why they were so quick. When he worked at other factories, things always took a while.
Little did she know, the steel mill had specifically wanted her to come, and they were determined to cooperate with her.
Qian Xiao took the instruction manual. Fortunately, she had worked hard to learn Russian and hadn't neglected English, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to understand these professional terms. After reading it, Qian Xiao was so angry that she laughed.
This is hardly a proper instruction manual. It doesn't mention any important points and is full of nonsense. At the same time, I feel sorry for my country. If you fall behind, you will be bullied and hampered by others.
She casually tossed the instruction manual onto the machine: "This is useless, get me some tools."
Since the instruction manual was completely useless and the machine couldn't be started, she could only try to find the problem bit by bit. Fortunately, she was quite familiar with this model of machine and knew where the most likely problems were to occur, so she didn't have to disassemble the entire machine to find the problem.
Without hesitation, Master Wu and Master Sun rolled up their sleeves, handed over the money, and started working as assistants. Despite their age, they didn't care about saving face and would ask questions directly. If their skills weren't up to par, they would learn from them. As a result, their department had a very harmonious relationship.
