Filled with anticipation, Mo Yuan followed Pang Yun into the factory workshop. Pang Yun called over a man and introduced him to Mo Yuan. It turned out that this man was the foreman of the maintenance team, who led a group of people to be responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of all the equipment in the factory.
Although their job was only routine maintenance, they sometimes encountered minor malfunctions that needed repair. This was precisely the purpose of Mo Yuan's trip—to get their help. However, things didn't go as smoothly as Mo Yuan had imagined.
After Mo Yuan finished explaining his situation in detail, Pang Yun chimed in, saying that the factory manager had already said that if the maintenance team could solve Mo Yuan's problem, they would help with it.
Moreover, during the few days they are away, maintenance team members can still enjoy paid leave and even go out for a stroll, which is much better than being stuck in the factory all day. After all, the factory provides room and board and pays wages as usual.
However, after the maintenance team leader inquired carefully about the equipment Mo Yuan possessed, his face darkened, and he shook his head helplessly, indicating that they could not handle these large pieces of equipment and could only deal with some problems with smaller ones.
"I understand. We can fix those small motors and such, but diesel engines and crushers are too high-end for us to repair. We were all trained by experienced masters and learned how to maintain the equipment in the factory. We're just dabblers, so I'm afraid we can't be of much help. Let's not delay your business. If it really doesn't work, you should find someone more capable!"
These words struck Mo Yuan like a bolt from the blue, leaving him utterly stunned. He had been full of hope, believing the matter would proceed smoothly and that everything would be resolved once he arrived at the oil mill. However, reality dealt him a heavy blow, leaving him dumbfounded and at a loss.
"What, what are we going to do?!"
Mo Yuan was extremely anxious. If he couldn't find a suitable person to help him, all his plans would be disrupted.
This wasn't anyone else's fault; it was just that he had taken things too for granted. He completely ignored the fact that even the workers responsible for maintaining the equipment had limited skills and weren't professionally trained.
At this moment, things seem to have reached a stalemate, leaving people feeling at a loss for what to do.
Having accepted Mo Yuan's bribe, Pang Yun was so anxious to see his good friend in such a hurry that he scratched his head and hurriedly said to the maintenance foreman, "Brother Yang, please think of a solution!"
This is my good buddy. He went to great lengths to find us at our factory, hoping to get some help.
We were powerless to do anything about it. If word got out, what would become of our factory's reputation? You'd better think of a solution quickly. If you can get this done, I'll definitely treat you to a drink!
Knowing Pang Yun's background, the other party originally only wanted to stay out of it, casually brush off Mo Yuan's matter, and then continue with his own affairs. But upon hearing Pang Yun's words, he realized that the two had an unusual relationship.
Moreover, he was well aware of the relationship between Pang Yun and the factory director. In such a short period of time, Pang Yun was able to replace Yang Guozhong as a key member of the factory's security department, so he naturally dared not offend him easily.
So he frowned and began to think of a solution.
Mo Yuan and Pang Yun were delighted to see this and waited quietly by the side, not daring to make a sound for fear of interrupting each other's train of thought.
After a while, the other person's eyes suddenly lit up, and he excitedly shouted, "I've got an idea! Let's go find Old Zhou!"
Upon hearing the name, Pang Yun suddenly realized who this Old Zhou was. Mo Yuan didn't know, so Pang Yun quickly explained, "This Old Zhou was sent down from the city to our factory. He was supposedly a university professor before, teaching courses like mechanical engineering. After joining the factory, he was relatively unknown. After all, people like him who are sent down to the countryside are expected to keep a low profile and don't like to show off."
Once, when the factory equipment broke down, everyone was at a loss and frantic. Finally, Old Zhou stepped in and solved the problem in no time. From then on, everyone truly realized his abilities. However, he's usually quiet and doesn't like to interact with people much, so he's not very noticeable. I had forgotten about him. For your problem, you can only ask him for help!
The maintenance team leader chimed in, "Right, right, this is something we can only ask Old Zhou about. If he can't solve it, no one else can help. But his status..."
Upon hearing this, Mo Yuan's heart stirred, and he seemed to understand something.
He looked at Pang Yun and the maintenance team leader and said, "You mean, although this Old Zhou is very capable, he's in some trouble for certain reasons?"
Pang Yun nodded and said, "Yes, Lao Zhou's identity is rather special, so his actions are somewhat restricted. However, if you can get his help, your problem will definitely be solved."
Mo Yuan nodded, secretly noting down the name of Old Zhou. He decided to go find Old Zhou to see if he could get his help.
Hearing Pang Yun's introduction, Mo Yuan already had a good idea of what to do. A university professor who specializes in mechanical engineering and the like could easily repair some equipment. As long as he could persuade Old Zhou, he could ask the factory director to plead for him to work in his village for a while. Nowadays, many people have been exonerated and returned to their original units. Old Zhou would probably be next. The policy is loosening now, and everyone can feel it. He believed it wouldn't be too difficult!
Mo Yuan followed Pang Yun to Lao Zhou's dormitory and gently knocked on the door.
The door opened, and a tall, serious-looking man in his fifties appeared in the doorway.
