"Weidong, we can't do without you." Yuan Sheng took the initiative to say hello, also showing goodwill.

Zhu Weidong said, "This is the result of everyone's efforts, not just my own."

"You don't have to be modest. Everyone is watching you this time. Everyone knows what you have done and how much you have done." Yuan Sheng smiled. "I heard from Xiao Gao that you didn't rest for a whole day and night. Now there is nothing to do here, you should also go and rest first, don't wear yourself out."

"Okay." Zhu Weidong agreed without hesitation.

Yuan Sheng thought that the matter was over. Zhu Weidong had a very good attitude when he spoke to him. Moreover, if he thought about it carefully, Zhu Weidong didn't give him face that day. He was a director, and not arguing with Zhu Weidong was also giving him face.

But when Zhu Weidong found him the next day and submitted his transfer application, Yuan Sheng's face changed.

"Weidong, what do you mean? Are you still angry about your lover?" Yuan Sheng couldn't sit still anymore. He walked around the desk, walked in front of Zhu Weidong, and pulled him to sit down affectionately. "Weidong, I have reflected on that incident. I was wrong first. I didn't investigate and proposed the idea of ​​letting your lover leave. In fact, I wanted to talk to you today and apologize to you. You can be angry, but you can't leave here. We can't do without you here. You participated in the design of the entire trunk line, and you are the chief engineer. How can we continue to repair this road if you leave?"

This was the first time Yuan Sheng had encountered such a difficult situation in all his years as director, and the day Zhu Weidong got disrespectful also dealt him a heavy blow.

After he returned, he really reflected on himself. After being the director for a long time, he felt a little lost.

Even if rumors spread, you can't drive away the wife who has come thousands of miles to see her husband.

If this matter gets out, it will definitely prick his spine. Why did he get so confused at that time and say such words that deserve a beating?

Yesterday, Xiao Gao came back and told us about the discussions among people below, which made him even more troubled.

He really wanted to wait until Zhu Weidong had a good rest and apologize to him in person.

As a result, now he has come to submit a transfer application.

"Director Yuan, you misunderstood." Zhu Weidong said calmly, "Yesterday's situation is not common. Even the engineer has this ability. After half a year, she has a good grasp of the climate and topography of the northwest. She has this ability, and there are other engineers to assist her. There is no need for me to stay here. My mission is also completed."

"Weidong, you can't say that. You have been in charge of most things in the past six months. Lian Engineer is a female comrade after all. She is not as tenacious as you in enduring hardships and working." Director Yuan stuffed the application back into his hand, "Weidong, I can't accept this application. I solemnly apologize to you here for your wife's matter. If I have the chance in the future, I will also apologize to her in front of your wife. The female comrade came all the way to see you, but left because of my misunderstanding. It's my fault." Yuan Sheng looked ashamed.

Zhu Weidong said, "Director Yuan, you think too much about that matter. I don't blame you. I let her go back because it's almost the New Year and she has young children at home."

As he said this, he stood up and put the application aside. "Director Yuan, please consider what I said."

Then, the person went out.

Yuan Sheng watched the man leave like that, stood up and followed him to the door, and as he watched the man walk away, he sighed.

Xiao Gao came over from outside, "Director, what's wrong?"

"Engineer Zhu has applied for a transfer. What should we do? The project here will take several years to complete. It's so important. What if something goes wrong after he leaves?"

Xiao Gao was surprised when he heard this. "That's weird. Why did Engineer Zhu suddenly submit a transfer application?"

"Maybe it's because I drove his lover away."

Xiao Gao said, "Director, although I have only been with Engineer Zhu for half a year, his character is well-known in the Railway Administration. He would not put the work down because of personal grudges. Could there be other reasons?"

Gao Chao hesitated for a moment, "I don't know if I'm overthinking it. Yesterday, when I sent Engineer Zhu to the construction site, he was very unhappy when he saw the drawings drawn by Engineer Lian. He also pointed out the problems that he had pointed out before. Engineer Lian said he didn't notice them. Could it be because of this?"

"Will it?"

"Engineer Zhu rarely gets angry, especially at work. I've also heard other engineers privately talk about Engineer Zhu, saying that he's very kind. He always patiently corrects others when they make mistakes, and he never gets angry, let alone makes things difficult for them." Gao Chao said, "But when I was there yesterday, I saw that Engineer Zhu looked unhappy."

Yuan Sheng thought for a moment and said, "The engineer is here, go get him."

Gao Chao immediately responded and went.

When Lian Qizhen came over, Yuan Sheng was still thinking about this matter, and he also felt that what Xiao Gao said made sense. Many things happened during the project. He knew that there were several times that were more serious than what happened to Engineer Lian, but he didn't see Zhu Weidong get angry.

"Director Yuan, you are looking for me."

"Engineer Lian, please sit down." Yuan Sheng smiled and asked him to sit down, then handed Zhu Weidong's application over. "This is the transfer application that Zhu Weidong just sent in. Take a look."

Lian Qizhen didn't reach out, "He's going to be transferred?"

"Yes, I tried to persuade him, but he was very determined. I had no other choice but to call you over to let you think about what to do."

Lian Qizhen was silent for a while, then stood up and said, "Director Yuan, I'll go talk to him."

"Well, I'll leave this to you."

After sending the people away, Xiao Gao came in.

"Director, is this all right?"

"What else? I couldn't persuade Engineer Zhu, so I had to ask Engineer Lian to do it. I thought maybe it was because of Engineer Lian that Engineer Zhu was so angry."

Xiao Gao nodded, "Maybe this is it."

Lian Qizhen walked all the way to Zhu Weidong's residence and saw Zhu Weidong packing his things. She walked over, snatched the book from his hand and threw it on the desk.

"Zhu Weidong, what do you mean by this? You tricked me here and then walked away?"

Zhu Weidong said calmly, "You are capable and don't need me."

"What do you mean?" Lian Qizhen asked shyly.

Zhu Weidong said nothing, picked up the book on the table, turned around and went to the kang.

Lian Qizhen saw that he ignored her and was still packing up. She bit her lower lip and said, "Are you blaming me? Then what do you want me to do to forgive me?"
