Lin Tang watched as the technicians were frantically calculating, some sitting on stools, some on the floor, some twisting their waists, some sticking out their rears...
She didn’t disturb them and walked back to her own desk to start pondering over a new idea.
Some islanders who were having a good time must be proud of their advanced technology, right? What if she developed something even more advanced?
The scene must be quite a sight...
She was rather eager to see it.
Time trickled away.
Until Lin Tang switched on the light, until it was dark outside, until she yawned...
Everyone in the office finally lifted their heads from their desks.
They moved their necks from side to side, resulting in a series of crisp cracking sounds.
Qiao Cheng’s eyes, dulled from excessive calculation, took a while to regain their sparkle.
He looked at his master, full of spirit, "Master, the data is indeed correct."
Professor Yang also came to his senses and laughed out loud before turning to look at Lin Tang.
"Xiaolin, how long did it take you to calculate this?"
Reciprocating cams are extremely delicate ponents; every piece must fit the machine precisely—being off by even a millimeter is unacceptable.
Without suitable instruments, it’s easy to imagine the difficulty of trying to craft one.
But if you can work out all the angle data, you just need to follow the blueprint.
That’s why everyone was overjoyed.
Of course, there was also a feeling of embarrassment.
A problem that so many people couldn’t solve was resolved by a young girl.
How shameful!
Lin Tang couldn’t admit that she had figured it out in just an afternoon.
After pondering for a moment, she gestured two with her fingers, "...Two days."
Even this shocked everyone.
Ling Lei went over to her, astonished, and rubbed her face, full of admiration, "How can your brain be so smart.
If only I could have one-tenth of your smarts, I would be satisfied."
Lin Tang smiled and took her hand away.
"I’ve filled water for everyone. We don’t have food, but have some water first."
Ling Lei then let go, lifted her own enamel mug to see it was the juice that Lin Tang typically drank.
Her smile was filled with gratitude, "It’s your juice. You shouldn’t have."
Having such a warm-hearted darling among colleagues is far too sweet.
When Qiao Cheng and the others heard this, they instantly perked up.
All at once, they straightened up and picked up their mugs.
Their hearts warmed.
"Thank you, rade Xiaolin."
"We’re really imposing on you."
"It’s delicious! No wonder rade Lin drinks it every day..."
"rade Xiaolin is spoiling us like children. I have mixed feelings about this."
Lin Tang listened to everyone’s chatter with a smile on her face.
For her, juice powder was nothing.
The kind you could get a large can of for just a few points.
It’s perfect for building goodwill.
And see, she immediately got closer to everyone.
In the workplace, little acts of kindness can help foster closer relationships with colleagues.
Professor Yang also took a sip and nodded; it was indeed not bad.
The girl had taste; he wondered how she made it.
Remembering that Lin Tang’s partner worked for the Machinery Factory, Professor Yang’s wise eyes flickered.
"Xiaolin, I’m assigning you a task. Let’s see if you’ll take it..."
Lin Tang became interested, "What is it?"
Those from above were handing down work, yet the subordinates still had the right to choose.
Was her job too easy?
Professor Yang stated, "Make a reciprocating cam."
Lin Tang: Huh?
Not wanting to trouble the young rade, Professor Yang immediately wrote two letters of introduction, signed and stamped them, and handed them over.
"These are the introduction letters; you can go to the Machinery Factory and the County Agricultural Machinery Factory and tell them what you need."
Lin Tang looked at the introduction letters, her eyes brightening.
"Okay, I love this kind of work."
Especially when I can officially visit the factory and see her, it’s just too nice.
Qiao Cheng curled his lip and huffed, "You just want to see your girlfriend, don’t you? So young, what girlfriend are you talking about?"
After speaking, he swept his gaze over everyone present.
Hmph, they’re all not thinking straight.
Having a girlfriend isn’t as interesting as working!
Lin Tang retorted, "If you don’t date when you’re young, do you intend to find love in your twilight years? Love should be pursued early, haven’t you heard?"
If you don’t hurry, all the good guys and girls will be taken.
In school, they ordered us time and again not to date, but as soon as we graduate, they pressure us to marry more than clients rush contractors. Are they thinking of anything good?
You can’t have your way in everything!
So, when it’s the right time, and you meet the right person, just go ahead and date.
And cherish it while you do.
Qiao Cheng was left speechless and unable to retort.
The others burst into laughter.
Old Yang also tried to hold back his laughter.
He patted Qiao Cheng on the head, "In this regard, you’re not as insightful as rade Xiaolin."
Indeed, it’s better to start dating early.
Qiao Cheng felt wronged inside.
Does he not want a girlfriend? It’s just that he doesn’t have time, okay?
So what if he doesn’t have a girlfriend... Can’t he be a little bitter about it...
Lin Tang, having received her mission, held back her excitement and asked, "Then... Old Yang, should I go directly to the Machinery Factory tomorrow?"
Old Yang nodded, "Sure, as long as you handle the matter well, I won’t confine you to anything."
Lin Tang thought: it’s not quite to that extent.
Seeing Old Yang entrust such an important and difficult task to Lin Tang, the others had mixed feelings.
There were so many male technicians in the Technology Department, yet a young lady was given such a tough job, making them feel a bit guilty.
An older technician hurried forward.
"rade Xiaolin, this task is challenging. If you encounter any issues you can’t resolve, e back, and we’ll think of a solution together."
After the middle-aged technician finished, a young technician about Qiao Cheng’s age also spoke up, "That’s right, two heads are better than one, don’t be stubborn."
Lin Tang smiled and said, "Thank you, everyone. Don’t worry; I’ll manage."
She had her cheats; these problems shouldn’t arise.
And if there was a shortfall, as long as she could resolve it herself, she could just spend some points to sort it out.
-
Provincial City.
After being away for several days, Su Qi and Su Zheng finally returned.
Gu Ren came back to her senses and, with a gentle smile on her face, gracefully walked toward the door to greet the tall and the small.
"Wele back. I thought you two wouldn’t want to e home," she said in mock annoyance.
As she spoke, she closed the front gate, planning to hug her son.
Feeling jealous his wife only had eyes for their son, Su Qi took a step forward and wrapped his arms around Gu Ren.
Su Zheng, dragged up by his thigh, was wedged tightly between them, his head nearly squashed.
He stretched out his chubby hands, patting Su Qi’s backside.
"Mmmm, let go, I’m going to suffocate..."
He howled and struggled fiercely.
Realizing her son’s frantic wriggling, Gu Ren broke free from Su Qi’s embrace and quickly looked down at her son.
She touched Su Zheng’s little face, looking from side to side.
"Where did you get squeezed? Are your ears okay?" she asked anxiously.
While asking, she gave Su Qi a stern look.
Why doesn’t he know moderation?
Children always cling to their mothers, and Su Zheng had missed Gu Ren terribly for many days.
Seeing his father successfully distracted, he clung to Gu Ren’s waist.
"I’m fine, Mommy, I missed you."
Gu Ren was relieved to see her son unharmed.
Her heart warmed by the little one’s words, her face was filled with tenderness.
"Mommy missed you too. What would you like to eat? I’ll cook it for you."
