"Okay. I've had this idea for a long time. Are you having a conflict with your family again?" Ye Li knew immediately that it was Aunt Liu who bullied Zhou Lin.
"Hey, I'm used to it. When I was needed to earn money to support the family, my mother refused to let me move out and live on my own. Now that there are more people in the family and we need space, I've become a burden to the family." Zhou Lin raised her head high, not wanting to let the tears fall.
"I understand. It will probably take another month for our dormitory building to be renovated. I'll help you move then!"
Ye Li knew how devastating it was to have an unreasonable mother. Zhou Lin's situation was very similar to hers. Aunt Liu was also a son-centric person. In her eyes, Zhou Lin was just a tool for the family to make money.
"Thank you, Sister Ye Li."
Ye Li took Zhou Lin's hand, and the two walked side by side to the factory. Suddenly Zhou Lin thought of something, and she turned to Ye Li and said, "Sister Ye Li, when I went to Hai City this time, I found that Section Chief Qian was acting a little abnormally."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Ye Li was immediately interested in Zhou Lin's words.
"On the day we attended the exhibition, Section Chief Qian and I were acting separately. When we finally reunited, Nie Fan and I couldn't find him. We finally discovered that he was arguing with a young woman. And it was a very fierce argument."
"Really? I didn't expect Section Chief Qian to argue with others. In my impression, Section Chief Qian is a gentle and refined person."
...
...
"Yeah. And I heard they were arguing about the ownership of some special fabric."
Zhou Lin's words immediately alerted Ye Li. Could it be that Section Chief Qian stole the research results of the special fabric from someone else? And the woman who was arguing with her was the real developer?
If this is the case, then it is really bad. Once Section Chief Qian announces that the special fabric has been successfully developed and launched on the market, he will definitely be sued by the other party. By then, they will suffer heavy losses.
"Zhou Lin, your information is very important. I must confirm my thoughts in person." Ye Li quickened his pace after saying this.
"Sister Ye Li, let's take a car to the factory. It will be faster this way!"
The two took the bus and went straight to the factory. As soon as they entered the factory, Ye Li went to the laboratory.
Section Chief Qian was doing research and did not notice Ye Li behind him.
"Chief Qian."
Ye Li shouted suddenly, scaring Qian Zhi so much that he dropped the tools in his hand to the ground.
"Director Ye! You scared me. Please wait for a moment." Qian Zhi picked up the tools that fell on the ground, placed a piece of fabric at hand neatly on the operating table before turning to Ye Li.
"Okay! Director Ye, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"Okay. Let's go to my office." Ye Li nodded and left the laboratory first.
The two started chatting in Ye Li's office.
"Chief Qian, what did you gain from this trip to Hai City? Have we made any progress on our special fabrics?"
"It's a reward! I have a new idea this time. If the idea is correct, it will probably be put into production next month!"
When Qian Zhi heard Ye Li asking about special fabrics, he immediately became interested. He was just about to tell Ye Li the good news, but he didn't expect Ye Li to ask first.
"Thank you for your hard work, Chief Qian. As long as the special fabric goes into production, we will be able to occupy the market quickly. After all, no other company has developed this kind of fabric. Our factory is the only one in the country!" Ye Li deliberately emphasized the last sentence, just to see Qian Zhi's reaction.
"It must be the only one in the country! I guarantee it!" Qian Zhi laughed happily after hearing this, and did not show the expression that Ye Li imagined.
"Chief Qian, you must keep the craftsmanship of special fabrics a secret. If others find out, we won't be the only one in the country." Ye Li seemed to be instructing Qian Zhi to protect the patented technology he developed, but in fact he was continuing to find out Qian Zhi's background.
"Director Ye, I think the development of this special fabric is to benefit millions of workers. So I don't want to keep the technology in my own hands. How about this? I will release the technology after three years of production and sales. In this way, we can make money and also allow clothes made of special fabrics to enter millions of factories."
After Qian Zhi finished telling Ye Li about his plan, he was completely shocked.
She really didn't expect Qian Zhi's realm to be so high that he actually wanted to make the technology public. You have to know that this technology is monopolistic, and making it public is equivalent to giving up huge wealth.
"Chief Qian, I didn't expect you to be so broad-minded. I am really ashamed of myself. Did you have the idea of doing this from the beginning?"
After several inquiries, Ye Li found that Qian Zhi was not suspicious. But she still wanted to find out what Zhou Lin was talking about.
"Not really. Actually, I met my old friend when I went to Hai City this time. She inspired me and made me make this decision."
After hearing Qian Zhi himself mention what happened in Hai City, Ye Li became more convinced that Qian Zhi was fine.
"Can you explain in detail why?"
"Yes, when I first worked in the laboratory, I often discussed the research and development of special fabrics with my good friend. She was the one who supported and encouraged me to go on. This time when I met her, I wanted her to join me because, in my opinion, she deserves half the credit for the development of special fabrics." Qian Zhi's thoughts also went back to the past.
"Then you can invite your friends to work here together!" Ye Li suggested immediately after hearing it.
Qian Zhi just shook his head and sighed.
"She won't come."
At the beginning, he and his good friend Ling Yun worked together in the laboratory, encouraging and supporting each other.
But after all, the life of scientific research was too hard, and finally Ling Yun's family used their connections to find her a good job. From then on, the two parted ways and had no contact anymore.
But Qian Zhi still refused to give up his research. Finally, due to funding issues, Qian Zhi had to leave the laboratory and joined Ye Li's factory.
Qian Zhi went to Haishi this time to find Ling Yun. He knew that Ling Yun would definitely appear at the exhibition.
As expected, Qian Zhi met Ling Yun, introduced his research progress to her, and invited her to join the weaving factory. He even promised to give Ling Yun the ownership of the research and development technology of special fabrics as long as she could come to the Ye Li factory.
But Ling Yun is no longer the same Ling Yun as before. She rejected Qian Zhi's invitation and advised Qian Zhi to give up his research, so the two had a fierce quarrel.
Finally, Ling Yun provided Qian Zhi with a new R&D idea and wished him success. Seeing Ling Yun's firm attitude, Qian Zhi said nothing more and returned with regret.
Ye Li was very moved by Qian Zhi's explanation of their friendship. It turned out that this was the ownership issue Zhou Lin mentioned.
"Chief Qian, do you like Ling Yun?"
