Although he didn't understand why such an efficient factory was still called a "small workshop," the person in charge of the nitric acid factory, actually a junior fellow of Wang Maoduan, was still grateful. He also received Lin Hai's promise that if the nitric acid production could match that of sulfuric acid, he would receive the same treatment as Wang Maoduan.
After leaving the nitric acid factory, everyone's doubts grew even more intense. Aside from Ling Yang and the others who knew the inside story, the others exchanged glances before ultimately deciding that Shi Zhen'er, now in charge of Qinghe's finances, would raise the issue.
