Chapter 188 Wu Feng, can't you just not resign?
After saying that, the factory director turned and left the conference room, leaving Chief Engineer Zhou to secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Lin Wufeng's apprentice, Li Xiaodong, was about to leave the conference room. He was the last one to leave, and as soon as he reached the door, he heard the conversation between the factory director and Chief Engineer Zhou.
He instinctively stopped in his tracks.
Li Xiaodong hid outside the door, straining his ears, growing angrier the more he listened.
The work his master Lin Wufeng was doing was being carried out by him and his apprentices together, so there was no situation where they couldn't do without him.
Moreover, although Engineer Liu is experienced, his technical concepts are somewhat outdated, and Engineer Zhao's technical level is not as good as Engineer Lin's.
In his view, Chief Engineer Zhou's refusal to let Lin Wufeng go to the Canton Fair stemmed from jealousy, fearing that Lin Wufeng would steal his credit.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaodong couldn't help but spit in his heart.
Chief Engineer Zhou came out of the door and immediately saw Li Xiaodong standing there. "Engineer Li, why aren't you at work yet!"
Li Xiaodong was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was happening and put on a smile. "Chief Engineer Zhou, my shoelace came undone, and I was just about to leave when you came out. I'll get back to work right away."
As he spoke, he pretended to squat down and tie his shoelaces.
Chief Engineer Zhou glanced at him, said nothing more, and strode into the office building.
Li Xiaodong followed after Chief Engineer Zhou, watching his retreating figure.
As luck would have it, something white fell out of Chief Engineer Zhou's pocket as he walked.
Li Xiaodong's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked over and picked it up.
Upon opening it, I found it was a receipt.
"Chief Engineer Zhou!" He had just called out when he quickly swallowed the rest of his words, clutching the note tightly in his hand.
Chief Engineer Zhou turned around and looked at him. "What's up now, kid?"
Li Xiaodong smiled and ran over casually. "It's nothing, Chief Engineer Zhou. I just wanted to ask when we'll send you the piston data we've been testing these past few days."
Chief Engineer Zhou sized him up. "Just hand it over to your master and have him report the results." With that, Chief Engineer Zhou turned and continued walking.
"Understood, Chief Engineer Zhou, please take care!"
Li Xiaodong watched Chief Engineer Zhou's departing figure, and only after he had gone far away did he quickly exhale a breath.
He examined the note in his hand closely and was startled.
Nowadays, many factory engineers earn extra money or do part-time jobs on Sundays.
Although this is not uncommon in the industry, if someone gets evidence and reports it, the master might really end up in jail.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaodong felt that he could not waste any more time and had to go find his master as soon as possible.
He clenched the note in his hand and strode towards Lin Wufeng's office.
Li Xiaodong knocked on the door of Lin Wufeng's office.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Master!"
"Xiaodong, what's up? Didn't you just finish a meeting? What do you want to see me about?"
Lin Wufeng immediately sensed something was wrong when he saw Li Xiaodong's expression.
He put down his pen, pulled Li Xiaodong to the door, and lowered his voice. "Xiaodong, is something the matter?"
Li Xiaodong nodded quickly. "Master, I have something to tell you!"
The two hurriedly left the office and went to a secluded corner of the factory.
The only sound around him was the hum of machinery. Li Xiaodong swallowed hard.
Li Xiaodong looked around warily.
After confirming that no one was around, he hurriedly took out the crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Lin Wufeng.
Lin Wufeng was slightly taken aback, then a smile crept onto his lips. "You brat, instead of working properly, you're passing notes to me. Do you think you're still in school? You little rascal!"
He laughed and scolded as he reached out and took the note.
However, the moment the note was unfolded in front of him, Lin Wufeng's smile froze, and he stood frozen in place.
This is no ordinary note; it's clearly the receipt I wrote after returning from Wencheng!
How did this note end up in Xiaodong's hands?
Did he find it? But if he did, why is he only taking it out now?
Lin Wufeng suppressed his inner panic, his voice trembling slightly. "Xiaodong, what... what's going on?"
Seeing this, Li Xiaodong quickly moved closer to Lin Wufeng and lowered his voice.
“Master, I was the last to leave after the meeting. Just as I reached the door, I overheard the factory director asking Chief Engineer Zhou about the personnel to be sent to the Canton Fair. I thought about it for a moment and felt something was off, so I kept an eye on things and eavesdropped outside the door for a while. You are now a senior engineer, and you are qualified to go to the Canton Fair with Chief Engineer Zhou. But I didn't expect that he didn't want to take you with him at all!”
Lin Wufeng frowned as he listened, and when he saw Li Xiaodong suddenly pause, he urged anxiously, "Continue!"
"After Chief Engineer Zhou came out, I pretended to be nonchalant and followed behind him. As we walked, the note fell out of his pocket."
Lin Wufeng frowned even more deeply, took a deep breath, and cautiously scanned his surroundings before asking, "Does anyone else know about this?"
"No, Master! I brought it to you the moment I found it. I was trained by you, how could I betray you!"
Lin Wufeng was moved, and his tense nerves relaxed a little.
He carefully put the note away and patted his apprentice Xiaodong's shoulder heavily: "Thank you for your help this time, Xiaodong."
Li Xiaodong quickly waved his hand. "Master, you've been my mentor since I entered the factory, and eight years have passed in the blink of an eye. You've always taken good care of me and taught me without reservation. Otherwise, how could I have been promoted from technician to engineer so quickly?"
The two exchanged a few more words before parting ways in haste.
Lin Wufeng, with the note in his hand, headed straight for the restroom.
As soon as he entered the restroom, he quickly locked the door and tore the note into pieces.
As scraps of paper fell into the toilet, the water tank was flushed away by pulling the rope.
After doing all this, he breathed a long sigh of relief, a huge weight lifted from his heart.
He never imagined that the note that almost caused a major disaster would be picked up by Chief Engineer Zhou.
Looking back on the years I worked with Chief Engineer Zhou, on the surface they worked together seamlessly, like master and apprentice. But now it seems that people's hearts are hard to fathom, and it's true that "you can know a person's face but not their heart."
As Lin Wufeng came out of the restroom and turned the corner, he ran into Chief Engineer Zhou.
Chief Engineer Zhou, with his usual smile, said in a friendly tone, "Wu Feng, are you going to the restroom?"
Lin Wufeng nodded slightly, gave a brief reply of "Chief Engineer Zhou," and then hurriedly passed by.
At this moment, he already had a new plan in mind.
Back home, Lin Wufeng sat down and told Song Ying everything that had happened that day.
This is no small matter. There should be no secrets between husband and wife, and he himself has thought about it for a long time.
As Song Ying listened, her body began to tremble slightly, her eyes instantly reddened, and tears welled up in her eyes. With a sob in her voice, she asked, "Wu Feng, can't you... not resign?"
