He looked somewhat embarrassed, and with so many workers watching him, he felt even more ashamed.
"Comrade Liu?"
Song Qing observed his ever-changing expressions for a while, and seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, she couldn't help but remind him.
Liu Jun could only adjust the misplaced yarn with a dark expression.
"Turns out we were wrong all along. Our technician Song is really good; he noticed something was wrong with just one glance."
Actually, the worker was trying to flatter Song Qing; she didn't just glance at him, she clearly looked at him several times.
"That's why they have to be technicians. Anyway, we'll do whatever you tell us to do, even though we don't understand the technology."
Several workers took turns flattering Song Qing when someone coughed lightly. They glanced at Technician Liu, whose face had darkened, and then quickly stopped.
Damn it, I was so focused on filming Technician Song that I forgot it was Technician Liu who told them to put it like this. Didn't this completely offend him?
The workers stood aside, somewhat embarrassed. Song Qing could have smoothed things over, but since Liu Jun had given her a hard time on their first meeting, she remained silent.
That's how the feud started between the two. Later, Liu Jun split the 30 machines they were in charge of, with each person in charge of half.
He also planned to explain the situation to the factory manager. He and Song Qing were in separate management, so if something went wrong with her batch, he shouldn't be blamed.
Before we even got there, Director Zhang arrived first.
"Little Song, your leg is all better now."
She rushed over and glanced at them, then, without waiting for Song Qing's reply, beckoned them both over.
"You two will be partners from now on, and you should already know each other, so I don't need to introduce you again."
Director Zhang was flipping through the booklet in his hand when Liu Jun was called over. He didn't say anything or even look at Song Qing.
"The factory has sent over a batch of polyester. You two should hurry up and test it to see what ratio can be used to weave a suitable fabric. The factory will be producing it in large quantities soon."
Song Qing looked up in surprise. Such an important task had fallen on the two of them?
"But Director Zhang, I..."
She had only theoretical knowledge and had some close contact with blended fabrics; she had never really thought about experimenting and producing fabrics with suitable performance herself.
"Comrade Xiao Song, don't refuse yet. The factory chose you because they trust you. In the end, the factory needs to see suitable fabric, no matter what method you use to experiment with it."
She took Song Qing's words to heart last time, and the factory has decided to produce blended fabrics such as Dacron in addition to pure cotton fabrics.
"The best-selling material in department stores right now is Dacron. Why don't you try it and see if we can produce it ourselves?"
Liu Jun knew that this material was mostly polyester with a small amount of cotton mixed in, making it wrinkle-resistant and durable.
When he arrived, he thought he would be a fabric experimenter in a textile factory, responsible for fabric research and development, but he was unexpectedly assigned to manage production.
Now that the research and development work has finally started, the factory has actually sent over someone who knows absolutely nothing.
"Director Zhang, I am confident in making this kind of Dacron fabric, but Comrade Song Qing has no prior experience in this area. I hope the factory can arrange for another comrade to come over."
Song Qing was indeed a little nervous because she had never tried it before, but Liu Jun's words made her nervous.
"Director Zhang, I believe I can complete the task well and will definitely not let the factory down."
Liu Jun glanced at her disdainfully. In fact, he had little confidence in the group of technicians in the family compound, but since the factory was going to send someone over, he would. However, this person could not be Song Qing; anyone would do.
"This kind of thing can't be accomplished just by confidence. As far as I know, Comrade Song Qing had absolutely no relevant experience before. Even though he went for training, it only lasted for a month."
Why do you believe you can complete the factory's tasks without slowing down the overall progress?
Song Qing remained composed and assertive. "Does Comrade Liu Jun have a problem with me? This is our first meeting today. Why do you think I wouldn't?"
Furthermore, the factory clearly stated that they would give us time to experiment. Do you really think you can succeed on the first try? If not, then everyone has a chance to try and fail.
Director Zhang looked up and glanced at the two of them; the tension between them was palpable.
Isn't this the first time we've met? She tapped the table with her fingers, watching them both think at the same time.
Anyway, Liu Jun was convinced that she was all talk and no action, and that no matter how nicely she talked, she didn't have much substance.
"I still stand by my idea and hope that the factory can send a different technician."
Director Zhang stopped what he was doing. If the two of them continued like this, they would definitely not be able to coordinate well, which would affect the experiment.
"So who do you want to replace?"
"Comrade Shen Xuebing."
Shen Xuebing was also a technician who was recruited separately. Liu Jun had contact with him and knew he was experienced, so he was definitely better than those of them who were only half-baked.
"Alright, then you can study it together."
Liu Jun raised his eyebrows smugly. It was entirely within his expectations that Director Zhang would agree. Between him and Song Qing, anyone with eyes could tell which one to choose.
He would never partner with her.
Song Qing gritted her teeth, wanting to try again, but Director Zhang raised his hand to stop her.
"The factory originally planned to pair you two up, but since there are some conflicts between you, we'll choose a new partner."
The factory was short-time this time, so they arranged three groups of test subjects. In the end, the best fabric was selected after testing.
Song Qing breathed a sigh of relief, while Liu Jun was very surprised. He thought the factory would trust him and let him be in charge of the experiment alone.
I didn't expect that three groups would be arranged.
"The test workshop is right next door. At the same time, you also need to take care of the operation of the machines here. The factory will give you a total of 10 days, and then organize a team to evaluate it together."
We have prepared plenty of materials, so please feel free to try it out. Just make sure to complete the task within the allotted time.
Director Zhang emphasized it again and gave them a slip of paper, which they could use to pick up the raw materials from the warehouse.
"Alright, alright, you guys get back to work. The testing workshop will be ready for use this afternoon."
Director Zhang finished writing the form and was about to leave, but before she left, she told Song Qing to follow her.
Liu Jun glanced at their backs and inwardly scoffed. No wonder Song Qing dared to talk back to him.
"Xiao Song, you're with this Comrade Liu Jun?"
"It's alright, Director Zhang. We just had a misunderstanding. It certainly won't affect our daily work."
Seeing a hint of worry on Director Zhang's face, Song Qing quickly reassured her.
"That's good. Comrade Liu Jun is the most experienced. The factory offered him very generous terms to invite him over. You should learn a lot from him."
