Xing Baohua's father was the director of the third workshop. When he heard about this, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. His head was buzzing. If it weren't for his two apprentices stopping him, he would have beaten Xing Baohua to death while pushing his bicycle home.
When the computer broke down, I called the experts in the provincial capital and briefly explained the situation. They didn't look at the site, but when they heard it was burning and smoking, they probably thought the main unit was the problem. The expert said he might not be able to fix it, since it was a new thing, and if the parts were badly damaged, they might have to take it to the capital for repairs.
Even experts can't make a decision, so what is Xing Baohua? He's only been in an appliance repair class for a few days! He really thinks he can fix a TV. Even a TV is a precious item; you can't buy one without a TV ticket.
When Liu Juanjuan returned to the office, Su Ya was still sobbing, her head on the table.
"Su Ya, stop crying, something else has happened," Liu Juanjuan said, tapping the table.
Two clear tear tracks hung on Su Ya's face. Her red eyelids were open, her eyes were covered with tears, and she looked so pitiful that any man would feel heartbroken if he saw her.
Looking up at Liu Juanjuan, it was as if she were asking whether the factory leaders had announced the outcome of her case.
“That computer was stolen,” Liu Juanjuan said quickly, then added, resting her chin on her hand, “What do you think they wanted to steal it for? I really don’t believe they said it was to repair a computer—no, to repair an appliance. Does a computer even count as an appliance?”
"Ah!" Su Ya was stunned, and her tears stopped falling. Her pitiful appearance was also tinged with confusion.
He recounted the whole story to Su Ya, which left Su Ya puzzled as well.
Suddenly, Su Ya remembered who Liu Juanjuan was talking about when she mentioned the "Little Smart" phone. She asked, "Is the other one tall and burly, over 1.8 meters tall?"
"Yes, you know him?"
"I guess you could say we know each other! I know him; he's a temporary worker in Workshop 3, and his dad is the production manager of Workshop 3. In order to get a permanent job in our factory, he enrolled in a night school course on home appliance repair."
"Oh, now that you mention it, I do remember someone like that. Isn't his father a very capable person? Getting his son into the factory wouldn't be a big deal, would it? Besides, he studied appliance repair, what would he do here? Our factory needs people who understand machinery. There are several experienced workers in Workshop 3. It would be a matter of the workshop director giving his son a word. Why does he have to study appliance repair?" Liu Juanjuan was also baffled by the whole situation. Although she had a lot of questions, she suppressed them. She then asked Su Ya:
"Do you think he can fix that computer?"
"I don't know either. The appliance repair class at the night school probably doesn't cover computer repair. As far as I know, our factory is the only one in the whole city that has computers. The instruction manuals that come with the computers are all in English, and I have to use an English-Chinese dictionary to translate them when I use them. The words in the manuals aren't even in the dictionary. Do you think their repair class at the night school can explain such complicated computer knowledge and repair theories to them?"
Liu Juanjuan suddenly said, "They didn't hear the computer was broken and took it to dissect and study it, did they? My God! They're so bold! This computer is worth over 30,000 yuan. They just wanted to ruin it like that. I have to report this to the director."
Su Ya reached out and grabbed Liu Juanjuan, who was about to leave, and said, "Wait a while before you report. We'll talk after I've finished processing your report."
“What are we waiting for! Anything that happens at our factory takes less than an hour. By now, the security department has probably already reported it to the factory leaders. Besides, if the experts from the province come and fix the computer we broke, they might deduct some of our bonuses. But if those two guys take it apart, even the experts might not be able to fix it. We'll be in trouble then too,” Liu Juanjuan said.
After Liu Juanjuan left, Su Ya kept thinking about the tall boy, the one she had rejected at the factory workers' club the night before. Was it all just to help her?
Xing Baohua, Xu Shuai, and Xu Fei pushed their bicycles to the night school's repair shop. Inside, the teacher was repairing a large 1960s-style radio with the three students, providing a live demonstration.
Upon seeing the three students carrying something in, the master craftsman looked up and saw the television-like object. He said to the three students, "You're in luck. I can explain to you how a television works."
Due to the lighting, the experienced craftsman couldn't clearly see the faces of Xing Baohua and the other two.
I was just about to ask, "What's wrong with the TV?"
I then realized that the big guy was one of his students, but I forgot his name.
This is because teachers don't teach often and forget about their students, but this big guy left a deep impression on him; no one in the class was as tall or as strong as him.
"Teacher Gao, there's a problem with the computer. Do you think you can fix it?" Xu Shuai asked preemptively. In his opinion, Xing Baohua's teacher was more reliable than Xing Baohua himself. If this teacher said he couldn't fix it, how could Xing Baohua possibly fix it? If your teacher can't handle it, how can you be more capable than your teacher?
