That's why she made this brief, insignificant trip.
In her original plan, she intended to go to the refrigeration plant this afternoon to make a show of it.
She had already prepared the blueprints...
Therefore, there is no need for the so-called thinking time. She can use the time to find inspiration and explore the famous local delicacies of Beidu.
Peking duck, donkey roll, candied hawthorn, braised pork offal...
Once she's eaten everything, it's about time she can bring out the blueprints, creating the illusion that her idleness is fake, and that she's actually working diligently.
The plan was all planned out long ago, and I was already drooling over the delicious food I'd be eating tomorrow, but now everything's in chaos.
I'm afraid we won't be able to visit today, and we'll have to spend another day at the refrigeration plant tomorrow.
Wu Li had no idea what Fan Xiaofan was thinking, but she didn't want to talk to him either, so she arrived at the refrigeration plant in silence.
Before she could even introduce Fan Xiaofan, the leaders from the refrigeration plant, who had previously been gossiping behind her back, came up to her with beaming smiles. Wu Li, who had been working there since the refrigeration plant was established, had never seen such enthusiasm before.
"You must be Comrade Xiao Fan. You must be tired from your journey. I've already arranged a dormitory for you. If you need anything, just let me know. We're all comrades, so please don't be shy. We'll do our best to meet your needs. Just call me Lao Xin."
Fan Xiaofan raised an eyebrow. This leader's fawning attitude...tsk tsk, he must have been pressured from above.
He forced a smile despite his fierce appearance, which was quite creepy.
She thanked him in a perfunctory manner.
Factory Director Xin instructed a capable-looking woman who had been standing beside him, saying, "Have Officer Wang take you there."
Originally, Wu Li was supposed to be in charge of all matters related to Fan Xiaofan's arrival here. Moreover, there wasn't much of a good environment. What was originally intended for Fan Xiaofan was a bed in a dormitory, but now a single room has been vacated.
Even after Fan Xiaofan left, Wu Li's surprised expression didn't disappear. That Wang cadre wasn't an ordinary worker; she was Factory Director Xin's wife.
After everyone left, Factory Director Xin's face darkened: "Didn't I ask you to pick up Comrade Fan Xiaofan? How did things go wrong?"
Although Director Xin didn't like others sending people to visit his refrigeration plant, he didn't intend to make things difficult for them; he just muttered a few words in private.
Arrangements had been made in advance for Wu Li to pick up Fan Xiaofan, and no one expected anything to go wrong.
Wu Li choked up for a moment. The reason she had given Fan Xiaofan earlier was obviously no longer valid, and she had not received any temporary assignment to deliver any documents.
Even then, she still had the mood to have a nice meal with the people from the factory. When they urged her to come, she said unhurriedly, "What's the rush? I'm already giving her face by going to pick her up."
Factory Director Xin was not happy at all. He had originally thought that Fan Xiaofan was no big shot, but just now, his superiors called him, first reprimanding him, and then solemnly stating: "Fan Xiaofan is extremely talented in research. Although she is nominally visiting the refrigeration plant, we are treating her with even greater respect than those foreign researchers. You better keep a close eye on things..."
The person on the other end hung up the phone immediately after speaking.
Factory Director Xin was at a loss for words; he really hadn't ordered anyone to give Comrade Fan Xiaofan such a show of force.
This was all Wu Li's own decision.
