As he unfolded the blueprints in his hand, Factory Director Xin nodded subconsciously. At least his attitude was quite respectful, and the drawings looked quite professional.
Somewhat surprised, she said, "Did you study this before? Your drawing is quite professional."
Fan Xiaofan raised an eyebrow, signaling him to continue watching.
Factory Director Xin continued to examine the items closely, but the more he looked, the more alarmed he became.
When he finally managed to tear his gaze away from the drawings, he saw Fan Xiaofan pull up a chair from somewhere and sit there leisurely eating a White Rabbit candy he had taken out of his pocket.
He twitched his lips. Shouldn't a normal person be a little nervous in this situation?
Every time their factory's technicians delivered the drawings, they were all covered in sweat, unlike her now.
He had just finished eating and was taking a stroll when he saw this old man and greeted him, saying, "Hey, have you eaten yet? Come on, today's corn porridge is really delicious."
Director Xin is capable. Although the refrigeration plant has been facing bottlenecks in its research, he can still see that the principle behind the blueprint in his hand is correct.
That alone is enough to earn admiration.
Many of the researchers at the refrigeration plant have good academic qualifications, and some have even returned from studying abroad. But to be honest, the blueprints they produce are not as good as Fan Xiaofan's.
"Where did you learn that from?"
Factory Director Xin asked a question, somewhat stammering.
Fan Xiaofan is definitely not a college graduate at his age, which is quite strange to him. Moreover, now that he has gone to the countryside, there is no environment for him to study.
Even if the product ultimately fails, this child's clear understanding of the underlying principles still demonstrates remarkable talent.
Fan Xiaofan blinked: "I've been in poor health since I was a child, so I read a wide variety of books and I'm self-taught."
Factory Director Xin felt heartbroken and ashamed. Their highly educated researchers at the refrigeration plant had wasted so many years of their time, and now they were not even as good as a young girl.
He now believes what the authorities said, and this Comrade Xiao Fan must be treated with utmost care.
However, although Director Xin was unsure whether the blueprints in his hand would be successful, he couldn't deny that they had merit. Therefore, after keeping the blueprints, he decided to ask for the opinions of his superiors on whether to conduct trial production.
Factory Director Xin left the blueprints and sent Fan Xiaofan away. Fan Xiaofan then headed to the canteen, where the canteen staff said they had saved some tofu pudding for her today.
She prefers sweet flavors, and the white and tender tofu pudding sprinkled with white sugar is so delicious.
After Fan Xiaofan left, Factory Director Xin cautiously surveyed his office area to make sure no one was around before making a phone call. Mr. Lin on the other end of the line immediately expressed his delight: "Please be sure to support Comrade Xiaofan's work. Even if we fail this time, we must have the courage to keep fighting."
Factory Director Xin immediately understood the situation, grabbed the blueprints, and went out to find Fan Xiaofan to discuss the matter with her. He had originally thought the child had gone to the production workshop...
But who knew!
After searching for most of the day, his wife finally came to bring him lunch and slowly said, "Xiao Fan went to the cafeteria... I just saw her."
Factory Director Xin: "..."
The emotional outburst was entirely his own doing.
He suddenly began to suspect that the factory's previous excitement and jubilation whenever the blueprints came out might have been an act, a way to fool this old man.
Otherwise, why would this little girl, Fan Xiaofan, be so unconventional, running to the cafeteria to satisfy her cravings at such an important moment of decision?
