At this moment, Director Wu felt just like countless other lowly subordinates who heard their superiors use the guise of a visit to actually conduct an investigation and inspect work results, and he felt extremely anxious.
Finally, he shook his head and made a special trip to their factory's research lab to ask if there had been any recent progress.
Despite his intense, almost blinding gaze, the head of the research lab firmly stated, "No..."
Research is never a one-step process. Some researchers spend their entire lives in the lab studying the same topic and still don't get any answers.
For these researchers at the postal and telecommunications equipment factory, they may be making small but continuous progress in their research, but truly significant progress doesn't just happen overnight.
Once a stage victory is achieved, it becomes a feat worthy of being recorded in history.
Factory Director Wu almost burst into tears: "Comrades, I just received a call from above. Someone will be coming to visit in seven days. What are we going to show them?"
He grabbed a handful of hair: "Seriously, I feel like my time as factory manager is coming to an end..."
As a pessimist, Director Wu always tends to think of things in the worst possible light.
The researchers in the lab twitched their lips, wanting to say, "Factory manager, you're a grown man making such a crying face, don't you have any shame? What happened to the saying that a man doesn't easily shed tears?"
Factory Director Wu couldn't help but ask again, "Is there really no progress?"
Seeing his pitiful state, the head of the research lab paused before saying, "There has been some progress, but it's not something that outsiders can see, so it's probably not very meaningful..."
Feeling his position was in jeopardy, Factory Director Wu sniffed: "What do you think? Should I write a letter of apology and a resignation letter first, so that if I'm really dismissed, I won't lose any face and it will be extremely embarrassing?"
"Don't overthink it. The visitors haven't arrived yet. Maybe we'll make some progress in these seven days..."
The head of the research lab was a firm believer in science and should have been more pragmatic. However, having worked with Director Wu for so long, he knew Director Wu's personality and was deeply afraid that if he didn't say something to comfort him, Director Wu would be so provoked that he would actually break down.
Really?
Factory Director Wu's eyes lit up.
The head of the research lab swallowed hard, nodded helplessly, and suddenly felt immense pressure.
Meanwhile, far away in Qingcheng, Fan Xiaofan had no idea that her interest in researching telephones was causing a great deal of alarm among the staff at the postal and telecommunications equipment factory.
Five days later, Fan Xiaofan received the fake identity documents that Secretary Wang had prepared with great familiarity, and set off from Qingcheng to Beidu. She regretted it a little; if only she had gone there when she was in Beidu, she would have avoided this back-and-forth.
Taking the train is really tiring...
However, there was nothing she could do at the time; she hadn't resumed her work and couldn't go to important places like the postal and telecommunications equipment factory.
Resting his head on his arms and looking at the wooden plank above him, Fan Xiaofan shifted his stiff body and could only sigh at the cruel twist of fate.
Liu Fang and Gu Wenyan remained cautiously attentive to the situation inside the car, preventing Fan Xiaofan from encountering any danger. Although Fan Xiaofan's identity had been well concealed and few people had noticed her, and nothing had happened, they dared not let their guard down for a moment.
Because they know the saying, "If nothing goes wrong, all is well; but if something does go wrong, it's terrible."
