My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 219: Undermine someone’s position face to face
Chapter 219: Undermine someone’s position face to face
Old Yang set the paper aside and began to organize the machine parts, starting the installation.
His hands moved with incredible speed.
Whenever he encountered confusion, he would stop and glance at the paper nearby.
Soon, a small component was assembled.
He stood up, a smile appearing on his serious face.
Looking at Lin Tang, he said warmly and with a smile, "Comrade Lin Tang has done very well, a promising young person."
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Qin Minsheng, "Factory Director Qin has a keen eye for talent."
Old Yang was the most experienced technician in the factory, with great skill in his hands, dedicating his life to the Textile Factory.
Now, his main task was to mentor newcomers.
He was highly valued by the factory’s leadership.
Qin Minsheng smiled, "Old Yang is too kind! Now that we have the manual, does that mean we can begin installation?"
Purchasing the machinery had taken quite some time.
The entire factory’s leadership and technicians were all looking forward to the day when the machinery would be installed and put into production.
Old Yang stroked his half-white beard, his voice aged yet strong.
"Yes, we can start the installation tomorrow."
With that said, the old man looked at the young technicians he was accompanying.
"It has been proven that Comrade Lin Tang indeed accomplished what you thought impossible.
Two eyes are parallel but do not always look upon others as equals; two ears are on either side, but often listen to one side only.
I hope today’s events have made an impression on you all."
The old man spoke earnestly, treating the group of young people as if they were his own younger relatives.
The young technicians blushed, their faces flushed with embarrassment.
They then promptly admitted their faults.
"Comrade Lin Tang, we’re sorry! Master is right, we were indeed too harsh."
"... We have learned our lesson, our apologies."
"Comrade Lin Tang is truly formidable; with young talents like you, we can rest easy about the future."
"Comrade Lin Tang’s translation was very accurate, and the illustrations you provided made everything clear. Thank you for your hard work!"
Regardless of the era, capable people always earn respect with ease.
Just like now, because Lin Tang is capable, even though she herself is very young, these talented and somewhat proud experts are willing to admit their wrongs.
Lin Tang smiled and waved her hand dismissively.
Her charming and delicate face performed such a mature gesture, looking very cute.
Having finally solved the translation problem, the hearts of all the old men feeling clean and clear, they found it almost melting.
They had long heard that Comrade Lin Tang from the Broadcasting Station was talented and beautiful.
They thought it was an exaggeration.
But having dismissed the prejudice, and now looking through the lens of admiration, they found Comrade Lin Tang to be even prettier than the rumors.
Not that they insisted on it, but for tech folks, capability comes first; appearance is only secondary.
Lin Tang was unaware of the shift in the technicians’ thoughts and said with a smile, "It’s nothing, we are all colleagues, no need for formalities.
I am part of the factory too, and I am happy to help everyone."
She wasn’t very tall, but there was a sense of confidence and assurance in her eyes and eyebrows.
Standing there, she garnered everyone’s attention the moment she spoke.
Old Yang nodded approvingly at his apprentice on the side, "Look, look, even the young lady is more sensible than you guys."
He always liked capable young people.
Especially since Lin Tang didn’t flaunt her talents, she had indeed caught the old man’s eye.
"Comrade Lin Tang has great skills. It’s a pity to just have you in the Broadcasting Station; are you interested in joining our Technology Department?" Old Yang threw the invitation directly.
Lin Tang was taken aback and shook her head.
"Thank you for your consideration, Old Yang. I’ve grown accustomed to working at the Broadcasting Station. However, if there’s any way I can help, I’d be glad to."
Old Yang felt somewhat disappointed upon hearing her reluctance to join the Technology Department.
But when he heard Lin Tang’s willingness to help, he let out a sigh of relief.
"Alright, then it’s settled."
Then, he looked at Qin Minsheng and reminded him,
"Factory Director Qin, Comrade Lin Tang has spent a lot of her time and her rest days translating the manual. We can’t just take advantage of her without compensation; appropriate subsidies should be given."
Gu Yingzhou, who was browsing through the translation materials at the long table, nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this.
Given the intensity of the translation work, compensation was indeed deserved.
Unaware that he was unconsciously protecting his own people.
Qin Minsheng nodded, "Of course, there will be compensation, Old Yang, don’t worry."
If they were to find a professional translator in the Provincial City, they would have to pay for travel, accommodation, meals, in addition to the translation fee.
It was great to have talent within their own factory; naturally, they wouldn’t let Comrade Lin Tang be at a loss.
"Rest assured, Comrade Lin Tang, the compensation will be added to this month’s salary," Qin Minsheng said generously.
Lin Tang didn’t falsely decline but accepted it straightforwardly.
"Thank you, Factory Director Qin, and thank you, Old Yang."
Gu Yingzhou, upon hearing the young lady’s sincere words, was taken aback for a moment and a smile appeared in his eyes.
He shook his head helplessly, his expression very gentle.
Comrade Lin Tang was just different from those pretentious, inconsistent people outside.
That was very good.
With the translation of the manual confirmed, the technicians in the factory building began the intense installation of the new machinery.
Qin Minsheng took Lin Tang and the others out of the factory building.
Qin Minsheng had become quite familiar with Gu Yingzhou, and the initial distance between them as business partners faded away, treating each other as friends despite the age difference.
Upon leaving, he patted the dust off his body, not knowing where it came from.
"... It’s been a trouble for you to come here, Technician Gu!" Qin Minsheng said, cheerfully.
The new machinery was complex, with many large and small components, especially after being transported in and just piled up there.
When the workers encountered some problems during organization, they requested Gu Yingzhou to come over again.
Gu Yingzhou’s eyebrows rose slightly, his voice deep.
"No trouble at all, it’s what I should do."
Tall and dignified, with an aura of nobility, he stood out strikingly.
Qin Minsheng thought to himself that he used to find Technician Gu quite arrogant, but now, seeing him as humble and gentle, he seemed quite nice.
Perhaps it was just because they weren’t very familiar initially?
People in Jing City who had once found inconvenience in his work, thus being at the sharp end of Gu’s father’s poison tongue, "... Humble and gentle?"
Heh, foolish humans...
-
Time flew by, and before long, half a month had passed.
That day, as the sun was setting and the sky was aflame with orange and red,
suddenly, a few unexpected visitors arrived at the Lin Family home in the county.
When the door was knocked upon, Lin Tang and others were eating dinner inside.
"Sister Xiaojing, big sister-in-law, go ahead and eat. I’ll get the door," Lin Tang said as she stood up and walked toward the courtyard.
After opening the door, she saw Qin Suqing and a man and a woman outside.
The man had medium-length hair and a handsome face.
Although he was older, he possessed a mature charm of a handsome uncle.
The woman sported short hair reaching her ears, her features were delicate and elegant, and it seemed like she wore makeup, looking both graceful and beautiful.
"Qingqing, what are you doing here?" Lin Tang asked with surprise, looking towards the man and woman beside Qin Suqing with curiosity, "Who are these?"
Qin Suqing scratched her head, seeming a bit embarrassed.
"This is Uncle Ji and Aunt Shen, the ones I mentioned to you before, who bought vegetables from your family," she explained.
Lin Tang nodded and invited the guests into the house.
"Hello to both comrades, let’s go inside and talk," she said.
As they spoke, they entered the courtyard.
The courtyard housed a small vegetable field, where the plants were growing lush and vibrant.
