Chapter 66: Deal with the Great Sage and Collect Your Weapons
Xiaojinchuan Forest Farm is close by. You can reach Jinchuan Forest Farm in about half an hour by driving a motorcycle truck.
But when Secretary Qian arrived, he met another person. He was about to enter the site office when the other person came out. When the two met, they both understood why the other person came.
The other party waved at him and said, "You've come just in time. I'm up the mountain. Let's take a motorcycle truck up there."
What is Secretary Lang doing on the mountain?
Of course, we came to see whether the Jicai 50 that Qi Fangxiu had developed could be used.
Although the machine has been driven at the foot of the mountain, there are still differences between flat ground and mountainous terrain, and between an empty machine and a loaded machine.
When the two arrived, a timber skidder was tightening the oil wire rope, dragging the wood on the tractor with the big end facing inward and the small end dragged on the ground, and then moving down the mountain.
They took a look and immediately found Secretary Lang who was not far away. "Is this the one you repaired yourself?"
"It's not really a repair. Xiao Qi added a part to the hydraulic system, claiming it can reduce the wear and tear on that component. We're trying it out."
After hearing what Secretary Lang said, the two of them noticed the other people around him and looked at them one by one.
Director Yu was also an old acquaintance, but they didn't recognize the other two middle-aged men. However, one was wearing a small repair shop uniform with engine oil stains on it, so he must be the director of the small repair shop at Jinchuan Forest Farm; the other one wore a rattan hat and was probably a production dispatcher.
Apart from this, there was only one tall young man present, with a handsome appearance, who exuded a coldness as frost in the snow.
The two were quite surprised by each other's appearance and youth. "Isn't this the male chanting leader from your forest farm?"
Secretary Lang laughed when he heard this. "It's him." Then he looked at the two people's surprised faces and added, "The woman is his lover."
So all the good looks and abilities are concentrated in his family, right? The two were speechless.
But they didn't come here to see anyone. Their eyes soon turned to the 50-ton tractor at the foot of the mountain. "How long has it been running?"
"It's been half a day, it was pulled up in the morning." Secretary Lang and his men waited for a while, and it was not brought up until the afternoon.
After a few people stood there for a while, the logger 50 came up again over the mountains and hills.
Secretary Lang saw that they were anxious and waved to Zhang Dawei above him, "It's OK. Let's check the degree of component wear."
Just as Qi Fang was about to move, Xu Wenli impatiently went up and removed a component. "It doesn't look like anything has changed, so it should be useful."
Several people gathered around to take a look. You know, the previous components had to be replaced in a few days, and the wear and tear was already visible to the naked eye.
The production dispatcher had been on the mountain and had seen it that morning, so he knew it better than anyone else present. "There really isn't much change."
That proved it was indeed useful. Secretary Qian and the other person looked at each other and went straight to Secretary Lang. "How many have you built in your forest farm? Repair them for us too."
"Yes, we are all brothers in the forest farm. Since you have this ability, you can't forget us."
Some talk about moral principles, some play the emotional card, anyway, they all have one goal, which is to blame Jinchuan Forest Farm and have their timber collection 50 repaired.
Secretary Lang's words didn't count. He turned around and asked Qi Fang, "How many of those parts do you have left?"
"There's another one that's just been made, it's for another one in the field."
Qi Fang paused after speaking, and looked at the others present. "This can only slow things down, so it's best not to use the maximum horsepower."
There are flaws in Wu Xingde's system design, and if it needs to be changed, it must be a major change. The conditions are not there now, so we can only apply a patch and use it first.
Others also knew that it was already very good to be able to come up with a way to alleviate the situation in such a short time. They saw that the town machine repair factory had not come up with any solution yet.
"That's settled. We'll get the stuff back and see if you can fix it for us as soon as possible."
The two forestry secretaries showed no sign of changing their tune. After discussing with Secretary Lang, they went to shake hands with Qi Fang and said, "Young people have potential. We're leaving those 50-ton skidders at our forestry farm in your care."
Just as I was about to go down the mountain, someone else came up. Apparently, he had also heard that Jinchuan Forest Farm had come up with a solution, but it was a bit far away.
Now the two waiting groups became three, and Jinchuan Forest Farm still had several tractors that needed to be repaired. Several people immediately quickened their pace on the return journey, wanting to make arrangements as soon as possible and be the first to send over the tractors.
Of course, the news must be kept secret first, so that no one else can come along and get ahead of them. By then, there will be no place to regret.
Seeing the people rushing to go down the mountain, Secretary Lang couldn't help laughing, and the production dispatcher also let out a long sigh.
The others were fine, but he was on the mountain every day watching the assigned production tasks not being completed. He was more upset than anyone else and had big blisters at the corners of his mouth in the past two days.
"Now that we've resolved the issue here, let's hurry up and hold a meeting." Secretary Lang glanced at Director Yu and the production dispatcher beside him, "Let's discuss how to report this matter."
Although other forest farms wanted to cover it up, since they had come up with a solution, it was impossible for them not to report it to the town forestry bureau.
It is up to the town forestry bureau to make the arrangements, but their forest farm and Qi Fang who came up with the solution will definitely be rewarded.
Thinking of this, even Director Yu, who had always disliked Qi Fang, had a smile on his face. Then, after reporting and discussing the matter, Secretary Lang mentioned that Qi Fang should be transferred to another position.
The smile on his face froze at that moment. "I'm afraid this isn't going to be easy. The small repair shop is already full."
Job transfer is not the same as secondment. The number of people to be recruited for each position is decided by the higher-ups, and they have no say in the matter.
For example, he wanted to transfer Yu Yongzhi to the Security Department because the Security Department was not full, and he even used the relationship of Yu Yongzhi's uncle.
Secretary Lang seemed to have known that he would object. "What if this matter is reported to the county? When they ask, they find out that the person who came up with the solution is still working as a lumberjack in the logging team."
This is indeed a bit unsightly. Firstly, it seems that they do not value talents enough. After all, Qi Fang is not even a tractor driver, but just a saw operator's assistant. Secondly, a problem that you engineers could not solve was solved by a small logging worker in our forest farm. Isn't this a slap in the face?
"I think it was right to apply to the higher authorities for an additional position," Xu Wenli said. "We added four more tractors this year and a lot of chainsaws, so we were already shorthanded."
This made sense, and everyone nodded, even those who didn't want to nod had to nod, mainly because Qi Fang had done really well this time.
Secretary Lang was among those who nodded. "Although Qi Fang is a little young in terms of qualifications, he has made great achievements. This comrade is also very ideologically conscious and has helped the farm a lot with voluntary labor. Even the firewall in our farm headquarters was his idea and he came here to build it."
The crowd had even less to say, as they all enjoyed the convenience brought by the firewall.
Director Yu was speechless. He had even been spotted lying on the wall of fire and didn't want to talk about this topic at all.
The matter was settled, and soon Secretary Lang arranged a motorcycle card and personally went to the town with the written application and report.
When I arrived at the town forestry bureau, Qu Mingli was on the phone in his office. "Who was the one who made the decision to replace this batch of 50 timber? Now half of the forest farms in the county are shut down. This is not just a problem in our town anymore..."
He didn't rush in and waited outside. He just happened to see Director Liu standing at the door of his office holding an enamel pot.
This is a bit like watching the fun. After all, if a secretary had not been parachuted in from above and Director Liu had not been promoted, it would be Director Liu who is in a mess now.
After waiting outside for a while, the person inside hung up the phone.
Secretary Lang knocked on the door. Qu Mingli had already adjusted his mood and said, "Come in."
The new secretary was quite well-mannered and did not vent his anger on others. This made Secretary Lang feel much more at ease, and he went in to explain his purpose.
"You said Qi Fang from your forest farm came up with a solution?" Qu Mingli was genuinely surprised. "The Qi Fang who led the recitation at the party?"
Secretary Lang saw that Qi Fang still remembered him, and he felt more confident about what he was going to say next. "It's him. He was transferred from the town's machine repair factory. He has very strong skills."
Qu Mingli was worried about this matter, so he didn't waste any time. After asking about the situation, he called the town machine repair shop and asked, "Have you come up with a solution? Are you still waiting for news from the county? Then you don't have to wait. Bring your people over here. Someone at the forest farm down below has an idea."
Seeing that even the county couldn't solve the problem, Chen Jizhong from the town machine repair factory was no longer anxious. He went back and had a good sleep before returning to the factory.
When he got back, he saw an old skidder 50 being hooked to a broken new skidder 50 by wire, being dragged onto a transport engine. He was surprised and asked, "Is it not repairable?"
"They said there's no queue here, so we'll take it back and figure it out ourselves," said a worker at the machine repair shop who was helping with loading and unloading.
Chen Jizhong was even more confused. "If the county can't do anything, what can they do on their own?"
Just when I was wondering, another person from the forest farm came over and said that their timber 50 would not be repaired for the time being and would be taken back.
One of them was just a coincidence, but when they kept saying that they would not repair it, it made people suspicious.
Chen Jizhong thought it was impossible, but he still felt uneasy. Not long after returning to the office, he came out again and asked, "Have the 50 pieces of timber from Jinchuan Forest Farm been brought back?"
"They didn't bring it here at all, did they?" The recorder flipped through the notebook. "Indeed, they didn't bring it here. Mainly because they contacted us too late and there was no room at the factory."
But Chen Jizhong's intuition told him that this was not the case. Jinchuan Forest Farm was too passive, which was obviously abnormal. Moreover, Jinchuan Forest Farm had Qi Fang...
It was at this time that Qu Mingli called. The director of the machine repair factory answered the phone and directly called all the technical staff, "Come with me to the bureau. Secretary Qu said that someone at the forest farm has come up with a solution."
Chen Jizhong's heart sank at that moment, "Who came up with this?"
The factory manager actually forgot to ask, "I don't know yet, let's go over and take a look first."
Then Chen Jizhong saw some familiar handwriting on the design drawing, Qi Fang's handwriting.
"Lang Zhongting, the secretary of Jinchuan Forest Farm, said they have tried it and it does work. You can also see if you can do it." Secretary Qu told them.
Chen Jizhong remained silent, but the factory's most experienced craftsman paused for a moment, saying, "It certainly looks feasible, but we haven't seen the actual product yet."
They are a machine repair shop, not a machinery factory. It is true that they can make some accessories, but they do not have the ability to design parts by themselves.
Then Chen Jizhong saw Qu Mingli think for a moment and said, "Then let's go to Jinchuan Forest Farm to take a look." He got a motorcycle truck and personally led everyone there.
No one expected that Secretary Lang would bring back so many people from his trip to the town, one of whom was the newly appointed secretary of the town forestry bureau.
The motorcycle stopped at the small railway track. The group did not even go to the site office, but went straight to the small repair shop. Before they arrived, they saw the logs lined up outside.
The small repair shop has a workshop and a yard. The machines parked outside only mean that the shop is full and they are probably not owned by Jinchuan Forest Farm.
Qu Mingli was fine, but the faces of several people from the town machine repair factory looked a little unhappy, especially Chen Jizhong.
How embarrassing! The thing was sent to them, but they couldn't repair it, so they took it back and sent it to a small repair shop in Jinchuan Forest Farm.
Walking further inside, Chen Jizhong saw a familiar person, the director of the Naoshan Repair Factory who had been confronted by him before when he went to the machine repair factory to collect the money owed.
The director of the Naoshan small repair factory was helping Qi Fang install the parts Qi Fang had made. Seeing that everyone looked normal, he didn't show any embarrassment at all.
But he was not embarrassed. The ones who were embarrassed were the people in the town machine repair factory. They all wished that Qi Fang's solution was useless.
Unfortunately, the opposite was true. Not long after the logging machine was loaded, a tractor driver from the Naoshan Forest Farm drove it and tried it out, and there was no problem at all.
Everyone went up to take a look, and then went to the mountain to look at the two machines that had been used for several days. They had to admit that Qi Fang's method was indeed feasible.
Since it's feasible, it needs to be implemented quickly before the county or even the original production company comes up with a better solution, so that the forest farms can resume production. Qu Mingli originally wanted to second Qi Fang directly to the town, but then he remembered that Secretary Lang had said that Qi Fang was transferred to Jinchuan from the town machine repair factory, and he paused.
The county machinery factory hadn't figured out a solution yet, but Qi Fang had. However, such excellent technology was relegated to the forest farm...
Qu Mingli looked at everyone present and soon discovered that several people from the town machine repair factory were indeed a little uncomfortable when facing Qi Fang, especially the youngest one among them.
He changed the words that were on the tip of his tongue to: "Time is short and the task is heavy. Everyone in the machine repair shop should not go back yet. Stay here and learn how it is done."
Everyone's faces immediately turned pale as if they had eaten coptis chinensis. Although they were not mute, they were also in great pain and couldn't speak.
It was indeed Chen Jizhong who had been the instigator of Qi Fang's demotion. But they were not innocent either. Even if they hadn't been watching the incident, they had chosen to ignore it.
It was so chaotic at that time, and many people were afraid of themselves. Who would have the time to care about whether a young man who had only been in the factory for a few months was miserable or unfairly treated?
But after only three years, they have to help Qi Fang and learn from him...
Chen Jizhong gritted his teeth and clenched his hands into fists under his sleeves, so he didn't confront Qu Mingli in person, saying, "I won't learn from a stray dog here."
Technical positions rely on technical skills. Some highly rated masters in the factory may not even give face to the factory director. He also dares to confront the people in the forestry farm when he is annoyed enough, but Secretary Qu can't do that.
The other party was sent down from above and was said to have a very deep background. He didn't have the skills to stand up to the other party now, but Qi Fang took the initiative.
How could there be such a talented person in the world who could work as a lumberjack in a logging team and still find a way to climb back?
Leaving behind a group of people with hard-working faces and even more hard-working hearts at the town machine repair factory, Qu Mingli followed Secretary Lang to the farm office to take a look, asked about the work progress of the forest farm this year, and then went back on a motorcycle.
Before leaving, he did not forget Secretary Lang's application to add more jobs to the small repair factory. He said that he would do it when he returned and asked Secretary Lang to tell Qi Fang to work with peace of mind.
With this promise, Secretary Lang was completely relieved. He found an opportunity to tell Qi Fang about this matter when he returned. "No wonder you are not in a hurry about the training. With this skill, you really don't need to be a sawyer."
Knowing that the matter could be done, Qi Fang didn't say much. He thanked the other party sincerely and went back to continue his work.
Everyone at the town machine repair shop thought Qi Fang had gotten away with it, and even if they didn't deliberately bully them, they wouldn't treat them well. But Qi Fang acted as if he had never been at the town machine repair shop, or even known them, teaching them what he needed to teach them, and directing them as he needed to.
I don't know if they are too busy and don't have the time, or if they simply don't care. For a moment, it seems that they are judging others by their own standards.
And the more they understood how Qi Fang did it, the more they had to admit that some people were just smart in this area.
After he gave them some pointers, many things seemed to be true, but if they were asked to think about them on their own, they would never be able to come up with any idea no matter how hard they tried.
Moreover, this young man is not only smart but also steady with his hands. He is also fully focused on what he does. Sometimes when you look at him, it looks like you are seeing a precision instrument that is constantly running.
It was almost nine o'clock in the evening, and the power supply to the forest farm was about to be cut off. The "instrument" raised his wrist to check the watch and said, "My wife is still waiting for me at home."
Then he washed his hands, changed his clothes, told them to come at six o'clock the next morning, and strode home.
Such normal behavior made several people feel uncomfortable. They were all stunned for a moment, then they washed their hands, changed their clothes, and went back to the guesthouse arranged for them by the forest farm to rest.
He was lying on the kang, but couldn't sleep. As he chatted, he talked about Qi Fang.
"He is indeed capable. I remember he seemed to be a college student."
"That's impossible? How old was he when he came to the machine repair shop? He was already a college student?"
"Otherwise, what can we say about his skills? The county machinery factory hasn't figured it out yet."
That's true. The other person didn't say anything else. After a while, he said, "What a waste of such good craftsmanship."
Chen Jizhong couldn't sleep so he went out to the bathroom. When he came back and heard this, he couldn't sleep even more.
He simply didn't go back. He walked out of the guesthouse, feeling the cold wind and stepping on the snow, wondering how to deal with it next.
Qi Fang has made such a big show this time. What if the bureau wants to transfer him back to the town? Wouldn’t all his previous efforts be in vain?
But the bureau needed him right now, and there was really no way to move him. The more Chen Jizhong thought about it, the more annoyed he became. When he looked up, he saw someone peeing at the wall in front of him with his back to him.
A grown man lowers his head, and the ground is full of toilets. Chen Jizhong himself has done this before. In fact, it is not a big deal, but he is in a bad mood...
So he walked towards the man and asked, "What kind of quality do you have in the forest farm? Can you urinate and defecate anywhere? Do you have any sense of public morality?"
The other party was probably a little drunk and was slow to react. He immediately became angry and said, "I can do whatever I want. What's it to you?"
Qi Fang didn't pay much attention to the people in the town machine repair factory. After returning, he washed up quietly and prepared to go to bed.
As soon as the door closed, a soft murmur came from the kang, "Are you back?" The petite figure also moved.
Qi Fang tested the temperature of his hand, it was still a little cold, so he didn't go forward to hug the person. He just said "hmm" and got on the kang on the other side. "Are you still asleep?"
"The door is still open, how can I sleep soundly?" Yan Xue yawned and subconsciously leaned towards him.
Qi Fang hugged the man without thinking, and then paused, "Next time I'll be earlier."
Yan Xue hummed and naturally found a comfortable position in his arms.
The soft and light ball was completely embraced by him, and the familiar warmth from the quilt dispelled the coldness that came from the small repair shop.
Qi Fang kissed the soft top of her head, "Secretary Qu said that he would transfer me to a small repair shop when he got home."
"Then you don't have to go up the mountain anymore?"
"Um."
This time Yan Xue was silent for a while, not knowing whether she was happy or unhappy. "Aren't you tired after a busy day?"
"It's okay." Qi answered subconsciously. Seeing Yan Xue didn't say anything, he said honestly, "A little bit."
"Then why are you so energetic?" Yan Xue was really speechless. How could he be so annoying as soon as he came back?
Qi Fang obviously understood what she meant by spirit. He paused and put his lips close to her ear, "I haven't thought about it yet."
You looked up and said hello before you even thought about it. What would happen if you thought about it?
Yan Xue was speechless again and pushed the man. "What time is it today? Great Sage, please put away your weapons."
This time, the man bit her ear directly and asked, "Where do you get all these nonsense from?"
"You taught me." Yan Xue said without a trace of guilt, "You were the first one to start it."
Ordinary people must first know about sword-carrying guards.
Qi Fang still couldn't understand where Yan Xue knew some of these things. Every time he asked her, she said she had heard or seen them before.
But how much could a girl who grew up in the countryside and only finished junior high school have heard of or seen? Could it be that her biological father was not ordinary?
Yan Xue was not very old when she followed her mother to remarry. Even if she could remember things, what she could learn and remember should be limited.
This made him curious, but before he could say anything, the two dogs at home suddenly started barking, and then there was a noise outside.
"You lie down, I'll go out and take a look." He quickly put on his clothes and shoes.
After a while, the people came back, and even the second old lady was woken up. She put on her clothes and asked in a low voice at the door: "What happened?"
"It's okay. Some people started arguing and cursing at each other in the field office."
Qi Fang first comforted the old lady before entering the house and telling Yan Xue, "Yu Yongzhi drank too much and started a fight with Chen Jizhong."
Chen Jizhong and Yu Yongzhi?
Yan Xue was genuinely surprised. "How did these two end up together? Didn't Director Yu put Yu Yongzhi under surveillance as soon as someone from above arrived?"
Director Yu was also psychologically traumatized by the previous incident. Whenever a leader came, the first thing he did was to keep an eye on his son and make sure he didn't cause any trouble.
Upon hearing this, Qi Fang simply said, "Didn't Secretary Qu leave this afternoon?"
That's true. The town machine repair factory has no control over the forest farm and cannot affect Yu Yongzhi's future. It is impossible for Director Yu to keep his son pinned to his belt 24 hours a day.
These two are so shady, one is so cunning, the other is so dishonest, if they ever meet, who would suffer the loss?
Yan Xue was thinking about it and was about to lie down again when suddenly there was a loud explosion outside, piercing the silent night of the forest farm.
她臉色一變，祁放眸光也瞬間沉了，“是槍聲。”
有人開/木倉了。
