Hello, Lingyun. What do you want to talk to me about?" Qian Zhi's hands were shaking as he held the phone.
"There must be something wrong. Can I call you if it's nothing?" Ling Yun answered in a relaxed manner.
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"Nothing, I just want to tell you that I got home safely. You don't have to worry about me." Ling Yun reported his safety to Qian Zhi on the phone.
When Qian Zhi heard that Ling Yun was looking for him to report that he was safe, his heart was like a roller coaster, rushing from the highest point to the lowest point in an instant.
He felt like he was alive again, full of energy and vigor.
"I'm glad we're home! Did you have a smooth journey?" Qian Zhi perked up and started to care about Ling Yun.
"It went very smoothly. I came back a little late yesterday and didn't call you. You left me the factory's phone number yesterday, so I thought I'd let you know I was safe this morning."
"Okay, okay." Qian Zhi kept saying okay happily.
...
...
"Come and visit me again when you have time. Next time I'll take you to visit our city center." Qian Zhi was looking forward to their next meeting. Ling Yun was still the same Ling Yun!
"Okay, let's wait for the chance. Take care of yourself there. You can come and see me when you have time."
"As long as I'm free, I will definitely go play with you! I have to promise you!"
As expected, Qian Zhi was in a better mood and talked more.
"Okay! You've made a promise. I don't have anything else to do. Oh, by the way, I have a small question to ask you. Did you really develop that special fabric successfully? You didn't lie to me, did you?" Ling Yun finally expressed his little thoughts.
She wanted to confirm something with Qian Zhi.
Qian Zhi, who had been relaxed, suddenly fell in dismay when he heard Ling Yun's last words.
Ling Yun had already conducted an experiment based on the information he provided yesterday, and the experiment failed.
That's why Ling Yun asked that question and why he doubted Qian Zhi's success.
"Ling Yun, why do you ask that?" Qian Zhi asked with a cold face.
"No, I just asked casually. I always feel it's not real. You said we have been researching for so many years and haven't found a successful method. But you developed it within a few months after going to the weaving factory. I think it's amazing. Are you afraid that you won't stay in the weaving factory for long, so you lied to everyone?" Ling Yun did not tell Qian Zhi about his failed experiment, but made up an excuse to fool him.
"Ling Yun, we have been friends for so many years. I want to ask you one last time, did you do the experiment according to my data? And did the experiment fail?" Qian Zhi didn't want to beat around the bush, he went straight to the point and asked what he wanted to ask.
"Why am I doing experiments? I was just asking casually. Why are you still angry? You don't think I want to steal your experimental results, do you? Qian Zhi, you actually think of me like this! It seems that the relationship between us is not that good!" Ling Yun felt guilty, but she didn't want to show it in front of Qian Zhi, so when she heard Qian Zhi questioning her like this, she tried her best to pass the blame on to others.
"Qian Zhi? Are you still listening?" After Ling Yun finished speaking a long paragraph, he found that there was no sound in the microphone.
"Qian Zhi? Are you still there?" Ling Yun called Qian Zhi twice again, thinking that the phone was broken.
"Why is the phone silent?" Ling Yun said a few more words and found that still no one responded to her. Ling Yun thought that the signal was bad, so she hung up the phone.
After hearing the busy tone, Qian Zhi hung up the phone.
Ye Li looked at Qian Zhi and found that such a grown man was actually crying.
"Chief Qian... don't be too sad. People change. What was like in the past doesn't mean it will be like in the future. If you can't go back, then look forward!" Ye Li patted Qian Zhi on the shoulder and handed him a tissue.
"Director Ye! Why! Why is it like this! I can't even believe it! Why did Ling Yun ask such an unnecessary question at the end? Couldn't you just let me know you're safe?" Qian Zhi shouted excitedly, his mind filled with the last sentence Ling Yun asked.
"Chief Qian, please rest in my room for a while and calm down." Ye Li knew that Qian Zhi would not listen to any words of comfort now, so she planned to leave the room and let Qian Zhi stay alone for a while.
"No, Director Ye, you don't have to leave. I'm going back to the laboratory." Qian Zhi wiped his tears with the tissue handed to him by Ye Li, blew his nose, then stood up and left Ye Li's office.
After returning to the third floor, Qian Zhi could no longer bear it. He felt like his internal organs were being torn apart, so he burst into tears.
"Oh my god, who is making such a loud noise?" Liu Hua was correcting documents in the office when he was suddenly startled by Qian Zhi's loud crying. The pen in his hand fell to the ground, splashing ink all over the floor.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine after crying. Our Section Chief Qian has a really loud voice. His crying was shocking enough!" Ye Li smiled helplessly and picked up the pen that Liu Hua dropped.
"It seems that Ling Yun betrayed him. I knew that Ling Yun's purpose for coming here was not simple. Section Chief Qian had an argument with us yesterday. Now we know who is right and who is wrong!" Liu Hua was grateful for her intuition. If she and Zhou Lin had not met Ling Yun, Ling Yun might have taken the real data away by now.
Then their factory would be ruined, and the results of their months of hard work would be lost to others.
"Yes. Ling Yun betrayed Section Chief Qian. I estimate that Section Chief Qian will need two or three days to come here."
"Director Ye, Director Liu. I have a reimbursement form here. Please sign it." Zhou Lin pushed the door and walked in.
"Where is Nie Fan? I haven't seen him at the factory recently?" Ye Li took a look at the reimbursement form and saw that it was Nie Fan's.
"I don't know what he is busy with. He gave me a lot of things and asked me to handle them on his behalf." Zhou Lin thought that he hadn't seen Nie Fan for two or three days.
"How is it? Is living in the new dormitory okay?"
"It's great! It's more comfortable than home. No one disturbs me and I'm very happy being alone in the room." Zhou Lin is very satisfied with the single dormitory. She can finally get rid of the mess at home.
"Zhou Lin! Zhou Lin, come out here!"
Suddenly, Aunt Liu's voice was heard from the factory yard.
"Mr. Liu! Get out of here! Who told you to sneak in here?" Aunt Jiang put her hands on her waist and yelled at Aunt Liu.
"I'm here to find my daughter! Don't bother me! Zhou Lin, come out now! If you don't come out, I'll start making trouble!" Aunt Liu didn't know which office Zhou Lin was in, so she threatened Zhou Lin to show up herself.
"Why is my mother here? Director Ye, Director Liu, I'm going to go downstairs to take a look. I'll leave the reimbursement form here with you first." Zhou Lin was afraid that Aunt Liu would make a scene in the factory, so she quickly ran downstairs.
