Lin Xue exchanged a few polite words with Master Chen, feeling a little embarrassed, and then she noticed the old sheet metal placed to the side.
"Master Chen, do you still need this sheet metal?"
A thought struck her, and the question slipped out uncontrollably.
"What, has Guoqing's wife taken a fancy to this sheet metal?"
Sheet metal is definitely needed; iron is very precious in this era.
However, these pieces of sheet metal have been lying there for a long time and no one has paid any attention to them.
If his wife wanted it during the National Day holiday, he wouldn't necessarily refuse to do her a favor.
"If it's not too much trouble, could you give me some? I already have a bicycle, and if you could share some of these sheet metal with me, I'd like to modify it into a tricycle!"
Lin Xue looked at the sheet metal, her eyes sparkling.
If we had a self-propelled tricycle, it would be much more convenient to carry things in the future.
"A self-propelled tricycle? Who wants to make self-propelled tricycles?"
Before Master Chen could respond, a tall man with a square face walked in from outside.
"Director Li, what brings you here?"
Upon seeing the newcomer, both Master Chen and Wang Guoqing were startled.
Could it be that they were reported for using the factory's welding machine?
"Oh, I just wandered around after eating and ended up here. Tell me, young lady, where is your tricycle?"
As soon as Director Li strolled to the entrance of the factory, he heard people inside talking about self-propelled tricycles, so he went in out of curiosity.
Director Li's words relieved Master Chen and Wang Guoqing. It was good that no one had reported them; they were terrified!
"Director Li, hello. You see, there are several pieces of old sheet metal piled up here in the factory. They're just sitting there. That's why we were thinking that if we could convert them into two self-propelled tricycles, it would be much more convenient and less strenuous for the factory to transport heavy objects!"
Compared to the anxiety of Master Chen and Wang Guoqing, Lin Xue was much more relaxed.
She walked up to Director Li, meeting his gaze, and pointed to the pile of old iron plates beside her. She showed neither cowardice nor the nervousness one would expect when meeting a high-ranking leader.
Lin Xue understood a principle deeply: at this moment, they absolutely could not show any guilty expression. If Director Li discovered anything amiss, it might implicate Master Chen and Wang Guoqing.
She originally wanted to modify a self-propelled tricycle, but now that Director Li has appeared, she has to change her strategy and push the matter to the factory.
"Oh? You can modify bicycle tricycles?"
Factory Director Li looked at the seemingly frail young woman in front of him. Despite being a weak woman, she spoke with great enthusiasm and confidence.
This made Director Li believe that what she said was probably true.
"Yes, as long as you have the tools and all the parts, whether you want a large or small tricycle, I can modify it for you!"
Lin Xue looked at the sheet metal next to her with some envy, but at this point, she figured she wouldn't be able to gain any advantage.
However, since Guo Qing was still working under someone else's command, she was happy to help Wang Guoqing as long as Director Li needed her.
Okay, then you can modify a self-propelled tricycle and bring it out to see this afternoon.
If I'm satisfied with the finished product, I'll give you three bonuses.
To this day, Director Li is still unaware that Lin Xue is not an employee of their machinery factory.
They thought Lin Xue was originally from their machinery factory, and that the three of them were just lamenting the pile of old, broken sheet metal.
As for the bicycle in the middle, Director Li didn't think much of it, assuming it belonged to one of the factory workers.
"Alright, Director Li, just you wait and see. Come back in three hours!"
Lin Xue patted her chest and assured Director Li.
"I'll come back in three hours. You guys keep up the good work, I believe in you!"
Factory Director Li never expected that there would be such an energetic young woman in their factory. She was so talkative and didn't flinch when she saw the leaders. If she were transferred to his side as a secretary, he wouldn't be afraid of losing face when he took her out.
No one expected that after just one meeting, Director Li would have already set his sights on poaching employees.
Although he believed that this corner didn't even have a wall yet.
"Sherry, do you really know how to assemble a self-propelled tricycle?"
Wang Guoqing walked over with some worry. He had already planned that if things didn't work out, he would step forward and take all the responsibility upon himself.
We definitely can't let Master Chen get into trouble.
"Don't worry, since Director Li has spoken, Master Chen, you'll still be the main force from now on!"
A small tricycle is no challenge for her.
"I'm not afraid of hardship or difficulty. As long as you, my dear wife, aren't intimidated, I, Old Chen, will accompany you to the very end today!"
Master Chen didn't intend to stay out of trouble; since he had encountered the problem, he would simply deal with it.
The three hit it off immediately and plunged into modifying and putting their self-propelled tricycles into practice.
The structure of the self-propelled tricycle and the parts it needed were already in Lin Xue's mind.
She asked Wang Guoqing to find the necessary parts, and if they weren't available, she would personally go to the scrap yard to find them.
Mr. Chen was assigned to welding, and his job was to make the cargo box of the self-propelled tricycle.
Lin Xue was in charge of assembly. She was very strong and it didn't take her much effort to assemble and disassemble the parts.
Everything went very smoothly, and when Director Li came back, a brand-new self-propelled tricycle was placed in front of him.
Because it was Director Li's order, all the materials and paints used were from the factory. Even Lin Xue benefited from this and had her bicycle repainted.
