The repairman fiddled with the control lever.
Gently push it forward.
Driven by a hydraulic motor, the scraper rotates with a whooshing sound.
The star wheel turns, the tracks turn!
After being out of commission for nearly a month, the steel behemoth was revitalized after a simple cleaning by Wu Changfeng!
Section Chief Liu immediately collapsed to the ground in despair.
I felt a burning pain in my cheeks.
Manager Huo snorted, "100,000 US dollars! Haha, even if you washed it with gold, it wouldn't cost that much."
"Old Liu, you reported whatever price the island nation engineer quoted? Have you been brainwashed? This is dereliction of duty! You're treating the country's foreign exchange like it's nothing!"
"If it weren't for my discerning eye and decisive action in having Wu Changfeng handle the repairs, I would have suffered this injustice in silence—it's disgusting! Shameful! Bah!"
Section Chief Liu, true to his old tricks, changed his expression and said with a smile:
"That's why we say you're the great mine manager. Under your leadership, Linxi Coal Mine will surely reach new heights."
"Congratulations! You've saved the country a significant amount of foreign exchange; you've done a great service!"
"I suggest that we, the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Department, take full responsibility for any extra rewards given to Wu Changfeng. We will definitely praise Wu Changfeng's superb skills in the official documents."
Manager Huo glared at him and said, "How can you be so shameless?"
If you were asked to report the mining bureau's achievements this time, I doubt Wu Changfeng's name would even appear.
They've already taken all the credit, and it's all yours!
Director Huo said, "Old Liu, you don't need to worry about the notification documents. You're getting on in years, your eyesight is failing, and your strength is waning. The organization can't let an old comrade like you be so overworked. We'll make proper arrangements for you."
Section Chief Liu could easily tell that this was a way of making him step down to the second line!
I'm way younger than him! I cursed him inwardly as a despicable scoundrel.
He then immediately retorted, "Huo Jianguo, aren't you going a bit too far? Do you really think you're the only one in charge of Linxi Coal Mine? Do you treat the leadership team as mere decorations?"
"We'll see!" Director Huo said, then grabbed Wu Changfeng and left.
Wu Changfeng felt a little embarrassed.
This Section Chief Liu...
Well, how should I put it?
When humble, he's like a dog; when foolish, like a pig; when rebellious, like a venomous snake; when greedy, like a hungry wolf. But when he truly senses danger, he changes again…
A section-level cadre who dares to challenge a mine manager must have more power behind him than he can imagine.
this……
I'm afraid things at the processing plant won't end well either.
Wu Changfeng shook his head. Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time.
The arrow is already on the string and must be released; we can't let our efforts go to waste!
After the equipment was repaired, Mine Manager Huo began to organize the work teams to make the necessary progress as quickly as possible.
The two left first.
On the way back, Wu Changfeng took the initiative to speak, saying, "Chief Mine Manager, there is one more thing I haven't mentioned."
"What is it?" asked Manager Huo.
"The equipment probably won't last more than a few days before it breaks down again."
"What!" Mine Manager Huo exclaimed anxiously, his headlamp swaying wildly. "Why? Wasn't the problem solved?"
Wu Changfeng shrugged and said, "The root of the problem has not been solved."
"Then hurry up and say it, don't gasp for breath, my heart can't take it!"
What you can't stand is that you probably can't bring down Section Chief Liu, right?
However, it didn't matter to Wu Changfeng; let them fight it out.
Furthermore, this was also within Wu Changfeng's plan.
The 4,000 yuan I had in my pocket was simply not enough to make the fishbone antenna.
According to the lowest estimate, we are still short by about 20,000.
This shortfall still needs to be covered by exploiting the Linxi Coal Mine.
Wu Changfeng gestured to Mine Manager Huo not to rush, and said, "Mine Manager Huo may not understand the technical details. This time, we are cleaning the valve core. Simply put, the valve core is blocked and cannot work."
Manager Huo realized what was going on and nodded: "It must be caused by substandard hydraulic oil, right? That's the theory the Sanyuan engineer also had."
"It seems that firing the purchasing agent was a wise move."
Wu Changfeng shook his head instead: "No. The employee who purchased the hydraulic oil was indeed wronged."
"Huh? What do you mean by that?"
Manager Huo was completely bewildered. He greeted the passing workers while urging Wu Changfeng to explain quickly.
This is no small matter; causing employees to suffer injustice is a dereliction of duty on the part of the leader.
"It's the hydraulic oil that's contaminated, not that there's a problem with the quality of the hydraulic oil."
“Go on.”
Wu Changfeng continued, "When we were cleaning the valve core, there were gelatinous particles inside. It was these particles that clogged the valve core, causing the entire equipment to malfunction."
Mine Manager Huo immediately got to the heart of the matter: "Colloidal particles? The hydraulic system is a closed loop, where did they come from?"
"Could it be..."
"Is there enemy intelligence sabotage?"
Wu Changfeng was shocked by Director Huo's peculiar way of thinking and said, "What era is this? There are no enemy agents here."
"Even if there were, it wouldn't be worth causing trouble at the Linxi Coal Mine."
Director Huo agreed: "We don't seem to be a research institution, so I overreacted. But where did the problem lie?"
"The sealing ring is substandard!" Wu Changfeng said bluntly.
Mine manager Huo frowned and beckoned to a repairman carrying an oil drum: "You, come here."
"Manager, what's the matter? I need to add hydraulic oil to the equipment. I lost a lot of oil when I removed the pipes."
"I'm asking you, when did you ever touch the oil seals during the tunneling machine maintenance?"
The maintenance worker thought for a moment, then said, "Once, when we were installing anchor bolts, we were inspecting the equipment. One of the workers was so drunk that he stepped on and broke the vent hole of the fuel tank, and a lot of coal and rocks got inside the tank."
