Film and Television: Urban Myriad Realms Heart Refining

Chapter 291 Helping Lin Wufeng

Shortly after Wu Shanshan returned to Shanghai, Wu Xiaojun was publicly criticized by the school.

He skipped school for two consecutive weeks, leaving the alleyway every day on the way to school and returning after school.

Wu Jianguo, being oblivious, didn't notice anything amiss, and Zhang Amei, who cared nothing for Wu Xiaojun, also didn't notice anything amiss.

Li Yiming met Wu Xiaojun outside. Wu Xiaojun had just come out of the video arcade. Li Yiming asked him why he wasn't going to school. Wu Xiaojun stammered and couldn't say anything. Only then did Li Yiming realize that he must have skipped school.

Wu Jianguo took Wu Xiaojun back to the alley. He was very angry and said a few harsh words to Wu Xiaojun. Then that was the end of it.

Lin Dongzhe didn't bother with it. Wu Xiaojun was just skipping class; he didn't hang out with anyone, smoke, drink, or fight. He was such a contradiction. You could say he was brave, but he wouldn't associate with thugs; you could say he was cowardly, but he dared to skip class.

On second thought, Lin Dongzhe understood. The only difference was that skipping class had a smaller penalty—at most, he'd get a scolding and be laughed at by the neighbors—but hanging out with hooligans might get him beaten up.

Zhuang Xiaoting probably gleaned some insights from Zhuang Tunan, and after the start of the school year, she stopped sharing a bike with Lin Dongzhe and started riding her own bike to and from school.

Coincidentally, Zhuang Chaoying used the money sent by Zhuang Hualin, along with some additional funds, to buy Xiang Pengfei a bicycle.

No tickets are needed anymore; anyone with money can buy them. Xiang Pengfei's grades are decent, so Zhuang Hualin is more willing to invest in him, and Zhuang Chaoying is also willing to sponsor him.

Technician Wei resigned, and the female employee was even more decisive, resigning and divorcing. The two of them simply left Suzhou together and went to Dongguan.

Chief Engineer Zhou was in a very bad mood, which led to frequent mistakes at work and caused significant economic losses to the factory. In a fit of anger, the factory director removed him from his position as chief engineer and demoted him to a regular technician.

Now things are really messed up. The chief engineer stopped working altogether the week before last, spending his days leisurely drinking tea and reading newspapers, acting like a dead pig that doesn't care about boiling water.

Originally, there were only three college graduates in the factory, and the factory was originally going to honor them. But now, some have left, some have been laid off, and only one is left, who is still the deputy factory director!

Lin Wufeng was quite busy. As the deputy factory director in charge of technology, he often had to work overtime at the factory, working with several technicians to research new technologies and solve production problems.

Although Lin Wufeng enjoys researching technology, his overly busy work schedule has accelerated his aging process, and new wrinkles and gray hairs have visibly appeared on his face.

Lin Dongzhe couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

On Sunday, Lin Dongzhe came to the compressor factory under the pretense of delivering food. Thanks to his privilege as the deputy factory director's son, Lin Dongzhe was not stopped at all.

It was around 11 a.m., and Lin Wufeng was working with two technicians on some documents.

Although the new production line has been put into use, many functions and parameters are not yet set to their optimal levels, and there are still many inappropriate aspects in the connection between upstream and downstream systems.

Currently, this deficiency can only be compensated for manually.

The factory knew this wasn't a long-term solution, so they took out the technical files for the new production line and analyzed them in depth.

The problem lies in the parsing!

Because the files were all in English, and the technicians' English proficiency was practically nonexistent! Lin Wufeng had taught himself some English, but he was still far from being able to fully understand it.

"Let me translate for you!"

Lin Dongzhe watched the three of them for a while, and finally figured out the crux of the problem. He decided to solve the problem once and for all.

Lin Wufeng was surprised to see Lin Dongzhe at the factory. "Dongzhe, what brings you here?"

Lin Dongzhe held up the food box. "Bring the food. I already said, I'll translate these documents for you!"

"You can understand it?" Lin Wufeng asked in disbelief.

Lin Dongzhe picked up a document and said, "I'll translate a section for you first. You can then compare it with the translations you've done before."

Ten minutes later, Lin Wufeng patted Lin Dongzhe's shoulder wildly, "Good lad, I only knew you were good at English, but I didn't expect you to be this good!" Lin Dongzhe's grades hadn't been deliberately lowered this much in high school, only slightly lowered, and were about the same as Zhuang Xiaoting's grades.

"I'm just keeping a low profile," Lin Dongzhe said honestly, but people never really believed him.

This time, however, Lin Wufeng believed it.

To save time, Lin Dongzhe had the three technicians take turns taking notes. Lin Dongzhe read the notes aloud in Chinese, and the technicians took quick notes.

The factory's previous translation wasn't very accurate, but after Lin Dongzhe's revisions, all the hidden flaws in the previous translation were pointed out, and a new translation was made.

They didn't finish translating everything in one day, but they translated most of the material, enough for a week's work. The rest will continue next week.

Lin Wufeng would not allow Lin Dongzhe to take leave to help with the factory work.

The second week's work was much easier. Lin Dongzhe finished translating the documents and had time to give the factory some suggestions, such as replacing the gears with turbines and the connecting rods with cranks. Although he only made a few vague suggestions, they improved the quality of the entire production line.

Lin Wufeng's work finally became a bit easier, and he no longer had to look gloomy every day. On the contrary, Lin Dongzhe's presence at the factory made Lin Wufeng quite proud, and he was always cheerful at work.

Another remarkable achievement by someone else's child: saving a factory in second grade!

Before Lin Wufeng could finish celebrating, summer vacation quietly arrived again.

The day after Wu Shanshan returned, she dragged Lin Dongzhe to the grove.

Twenty minutes later, Wu Shanshan asked, looking quite tired, "Dongzhe, do you think I can stay in Shanghai after graduation?"

Lin Dongzhe leaned against the leaning tree trunk, "You can stay if you want!"

"What if you want to stay but can't?"

"That's when you're truly lonely."

"Huh? What?" Wu Shanshan didn't understand. Lin Dongzhe's joke was too avant-garde, thirty years ahead of its time.

Lin Dongzhe stopped talking about the joke, "It's nothing, it's just Shanghai. If you want to stay, you can definitely stay. You can also go to the capital. I can help you go wherever you want."

Wu Shanshan suddenly remembered something and asked Lin Dongzhe nervously, "When I went to see Zhuang Tunan in Shanghai, I met his classmate, I think her name was Li Jia. She asked me a lot about you. You two... are you together?"

Lin Dongzhe didn't hide anything and told Wu Shanshan everything about himself and Li Jia.

"Last New Year's Day, Aunt Huang took the three of us to Shanghai to find Brother Tu Nan... That's how it happened."

Wu Shanshan was a little jealous and reached out to Lin Dongzhe's waist. "Having Xiaoting wasn't enough for you, you also provoked me! And you're still not satisfied, you go out and attract other girls, Lin Dongzhe, you've gone too far!"

Having gotten the better deal, Lin Dongzhe stopped resisting and let Wu Shanshan do whatever she wanted.

I'm tired, I don't want to resist anymore.
