Mr. Lu quickly added, "As everyone knows, I'm not speaking up for Lu Kai specifically, but he originally had a better future and a better job. It was I, as his father, who forced him to return to our machinery factory! He graduated from H University and has a talent for design. Over the years, even if he hasn't made any significant contributions to the factory, he has at least done a good job in his primary role!"
"Lu Kai and Gu Zhiyuan have always had a healthy competitive relationship! Besides, on a personal level, they are actually relatives! From a moral, rational, public, and private perspective, neither of them has any reason to plagiarize the other!"
“We’ve all watched Lu Kai grow up. We all know what kind of person he is! He’s a very loyal and righteous man. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have married my daughter-in-law just to repay a life-saving debt!”
"Although my daughter-in-law caused some unpleasantness with Comrade Gu Zhiyuan, he was kept in the dark until he found out. Afterwards, he actively helped his wife apologize to Comrade Gu Zhiyuan and his wife..."
He's a cunning old fox after all. With just a few words, he tries to lead everyone to believe that Gu Zhiyuan is dissatisfied with what happened between Lu Kai and Xu Zhenzhu and has deliberately set up this trap to retaliate against him.
Wu Jie immediately interrupted Lu's father, saying, "Old Lu, what's done is done! We can't keep dwelling on it! Besides, this matter isn't necessarily related to that one, right? Let's get back to the main topic and not waste the experts' precious time!"
Mr. Lu gritted his teeth in hatred, but gave a bitter smile: "This is just a father's sentiment. We're all parents, we all know that when our child is wronged, we have to say a few words for him, right? Comrade Gu, please don't mind—"
Gu Zhiyuan smiled slightly: "Deputy Factory Director Lu, don't worry, I don't mind! I will only discuss the matter at hand!"
After saying that, he pointed to two drawings and gestured for everyone to look: "Look, although these two drawings are 80 or 90 percent similar, this one actually has a major design flaw. When I was designing it, everything was normal and perfect up to this point, but the problem arose here!"
"Because what I designed was—"
Gu Zhiyuan publicly explained the differences between the two drawings, pointing out the flaws in Lu Kai's drawing, how he modified it, and what his thought process was.
Organized and methodical, with a very clear and logical thought process!
It's the kind of thing that even a layman can roughly understand his line of thinking!
Finally, he delivered the final blow: "Otherwise, if the combine harvesters were manufactured according to the blueprints submitted by Comrade Lu Kai, they would be completely unusable on the ground!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the expert from the provincial heavy industry slammed his fist on the table and exclaimed, "Well said!"
He stood up and said with satisfaction, "Indeed, the younger generation is formidable! Today's young people are truly remarkable! With young engineering designers like you, we no longer need to worry about a lack of successors! The country's industrial machinery can also develop steadily! In the future, we old folks can retire with peace of mind and hand over our positions to the more capable!"
He then looked at Lin's father and said, "You old man, even though you're getting on in years, your eyes are still as sharp as when you were young! You've managed to snag such a promising talent!"
Then he reached out his hand to Gu Zhiyuan: "Comrade Gu Zhiyuan, welcome to the Provincial Heavy Industry!"
Gu Zhiyuan reached out and shook hands with the expert, saying politely but firmly, "Thank you! It's my honor!"
The expert patted Gu Zhiyuan on the shoulder, his attitude becoming much more amiable: "I almost fought tooth and nail with those old guys to get this opportunity! First, let's see who this kid who designed the combine harvester and threshing machine is, and I also want to hear his design philosophy firsthand! I can brag about it to those old guys when I get back!"
"Once you've finished the A03 project, come straight to the Provincial Heavy Industry! We old guys are all waiting for you there!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed in shock. Was the Provincial Heavy Industry directly planning to transfer Gu Zhiyuan there?
Wu Jie and the others all looked at Lin's father.
Lin's father appeared displeased, but his smile was practically reaching his back. He even said in a pretentious tone, "You should be content! I recruited this promising talent for our machinery factory! Now that you've set your sights on him and insist on taking him away, you should at least let him finish his work properly, right? And, take this opportunity to train two decent engineering designers for our factory, right? Otherwise, what will we do once he leaves?"
"If you keep babbling on, I won't let them go!"
This completely rejected Lu Kai's application.
Lu Kai slumped into his chair, his face ashen, unable to utter a word, the moment Gu Zhiyuan pointed out the biggest hidden danger and bug in his blueprint.
Who doesn't understand this situation?
Everyone knows the truth: Lu Kai plagiarized Gu Zhiyuan's immature blueprints, treated them like treasures, and deliberately submitted his own blueprints first, hoping to kick Gu Zhiyuan out of the machinery factory.
Unexpectedly, they made a mistake and were outmaneuvered by Gu Zhiyuan.
Mr. Lu's face turned ashen. He glared at Lu Kai but didn't say anything more.
The provincial experts exchanged a few jokes with Lin's father before getting down to business: "Regarding this plagiarism incident, after we discovered problems with the drawings submitted by your machinery factory, we asked your factory to investigate, but you have been slow to produce any results!"
"We old folks were afraid of wrongly accusing our younger comrades, after all, their futures are limitless! That's why we came all the way from the provincial capital to your factory, intending to cooperate with your investigation, but we didn't expect—"
At this point, the expert shook his head and said meaningfully, "Now the truth is out! If it weren't for Comrade Gu Zhiyuan preserving so much evidence, I'm afraid the truth would really have been turned upside down!"
He nodded to Wu Jie: "I will report the final outcome of this matter to the leaders of the Provincial Heavy Industry as soon as I get back! Your investigation results should also be sent to the leaders as soon as possible! After all, plagiarism is a serious matter and should be punished severely!"
Led by Wu Jie, the leaders of the machinery factory hurriedly stated: "Please rest assured, experts and leaders, we will thoroughly investigate this matter and report the investigation report and results to you as soon as possible!"
With that statement, the experts had nothing more to say.
He was very busy, and after resolving this matter and seeing the promising younger generation, he naturally wouldn't stay here any longer.
Even though Wu Jie and his team invited the experts to stay for dinner and leave the next morning, he politely declined.
They said they had already booked their tickets and were now rushing to the train station, just in time to catch their train back.
The factory leaders didn't dare to keep him around too long, after all, he was a big shot, and having him around would make things difficult!
So, taking advantage of the situation, Lin's father and Gu Zhiyuan, as representatives of the machinery factory, escorted the experts to the train station.
