A domineering country girl flirts with her son, and Commander Huo can't resist.

"Chief Engineer Zhao, you can't just go to any doctor when you're sick." Sun Xiwang waved his hand. "You two ladies, get out of here. This isn't a place for you."

Aunt Liu was a little scared by the scene. She tugged at Qiao An's sleeve and said, "Qiao An, let's go."

Whether in the apocalypse or in this fictional world, women's situation is always so difficult.

Joanne didn't expect to change anything, but she just hated men who instinctively looked down on women when they saw them.

"Okay, Aunt Liu, anyway, the bearings in this production line are almost broken. These are all imported parts. If any of them break, even if the King of Heaven himself comes to the production line today, it will be ruined."

"Even in this state, they still haven't switched off the power protection. That's incredibly stupid."

After saying that, Qiao An took Aunt Liu's arm and prepared to leave.

Upon hearing the word "bearing," Zhao Zhengang became even more agitated.

"Comrade Xiao Qiao! Don't go, please don't go."

"Old Mr. Sun is getting on in years, please don't take it to heart."

But Sun Xiwang only heard Qiao An calling them stupid.

"Hey lady, watch your tone! These are the factory's top-level workers. If you don't know anything, don't spout nonsense!"

Sun Xiwang had spent half his life in the machine tool factory, where he was always flattered and praised. How could he allow anyone to call him stupid?

"Are you deaf? Can't you hear the abnormal noise from the bearing?" Joan pointed to a spot on the production line. "The sound is so obvious, why can't you hear it?"

"With this level of skill, they dare to call themselves the most skilled workers? What gives them the audacity?"

Zhao Zhengang leaned closer, pressed his ear against the machine's casing, and listened carefully.

A few seconds later, his eyes lit up. "Turn off the power! Turn off the power!"

"Chief Engineer Zhao, you can't just cut off the power because of a woman's words! How are we supposed to troubleshoot the production line if the power's off?"

Sun Xiwang frowned. "Who's responsible for the wasted time?"

"You can't be so foolish!"

In the entire machine tool factory, only Sun Xiwang dared to criticize Zhao Zhengang like that.

"Old Sun, there is indeed a strange noise where Comrade Xiao Qiao is pointing, but the sound is very faint, and you may have overlooked it."

"Impossible! I led a team to search for two hours! How could we not have found anything?"

Sun Xiwang refused to believe that Qiao An could pinpoint the problem so quickly.

"Chief Engineer Zhao, we're prepared to work through the night on repairs. Please don't let this country woman cause us any more trouble, okay?"

Qiao An crossed her arms; Sun Xiwang looked down on her from the bottom of his heart.

She didn't need to give this old man any face.

"I wonder who's causing trouble? This huge group of people spent two hours investigating and still can't figure out what's wrong, and they still have the nerve to call themselves the most skilled workers?"

"If you investigate like this, the result of an all-night investigation will be that the entire production line is scrapped. I wonder if you, the top-level worker, will be the one to take responsibility then."

"You..." Sun Xiwang's beard trembled with anger, "A good man doesn't argue with a woman."

"Heh, a good woman doesn't fight with a dog." Qiao An showed no mercy.

"Such a young age, yet so sharp-tongued, very good!" Sun Xiwang took a step back to the side.

"You fix it! You fix it! Let's not touch anything."

He looked at Zhao Zhengang, "If you can't fix it, don't blame me for having a serious talk with Secretary Yu tomorrow!"

Zhao Zhengang was actually unsure. Qiao An was indeed a theoretical genius, but he didn't know if she could actually repair the machine.

"Comrade Xiao Qiao, you..." Zhao Zhen was just trying to probe her feelings.

Unexpectedly, Joan stepped forward and pulled out a brand new pair of gloves from the table next to her.

"Chief Engineer Zhao, your wages for today must be doubled. I'm here to help your machine tool factory, not to be scolded."

Hearing her say that, Zhao Zhengang felt more confident.

Since Sun Xiwang and his team hadn't found anything after investigating for so long, they might as well trust Qiao An.

What if it gets damaged during repair...?

He'll take the blame!

"Comrade Xiao Qiao, I'll be your assistant."

Zhao Zhengang also put on gloves and came to Qiao An's side.

"A Phillips screwdriver..."

"A single-stroke screwdriver..."

"Ratchet wrench..."

Qiao An squatted on the ground and began to disassemble it from the side, while Zhao Zhengang handed her tools.

Seeing that Qiao An could name so many tools, everyone became curious.

I gradually moved closer, wanting to see if she could actually fix it.

"This...this was taken apart and no part number was written on it or a photo was taken for record-keeping? How are we going to put it back together with so many parts?" Li Tao, a level 7 worker at the machine tool factory, turned to look at Sun Xiwang.

"Mr. Sun, this is the first time this production line from Country D has been dismantled. What if she can't put it back together later..."

Upon hearing this, Sun Xiwang became anxious again.

"Stop, stop, stop! Isn't this just messing around?"

"Chief Engineer Zhao, are you out of your mind? Tell me! How are you going to put it back together after you've dismantled it like this?"

Zhao Zhengang then realized that he hadn't marked the parts with numbers or taken photos for record-keeping.

For imported equipment like this, each part must be numbered before the first disassembly.

You also need to take pictures of the specific locations where the parts are installed, so as to ensure that there are no mistakes when reinstalling them.

"Look at my memory, Guoqiang, go get the camera and the stickers."

Qiao An looked up, her gaze towards Sun Xiwang filled with mockery.

"You need to take photos and number these things? Even the most skilled workers can't remember this?"

Sun Xiwang blushed at her words.

Because he really can't remember.

Many parts of imported machinery and equipment are different from those of domestically produced ones, and they wouldn't dare to disassemble such valuable items easily.

There was once a small imported piece of equipment that was missing a part when it was put back together because a level 7 worker forgot to mark it during disassembly.

Even after disassembling it again, I still couldn't find where the part should be installed.

Left with no other option, the Party Secretary contacted foreign experts. They simply said a few words and sent a couple of photos, yet they were charged 30,000 yuan for repairs.

From then on, taking photos and drawing numbers became their habit.

"Why aren't you saying anything? You can't really remember, can you?" Qiao An sneered.

Just because you can't remember it doesn't mean others can't.

"Chief Engineer Zhao, give me the sleeve extension rod," Qiao An continued.

It's already been dismantled by more than half, and the internal structure is exposed. It's probably too late to take pictures now.

Sun Xiwang looked at Qiao An and Zhao Zhengang, and a wicked idea came to his mind.

He actually hoped that Qiao would not be able to return, because then Zhao Zhengang would also be punished.

Although they were both level eight workers, he was superior to him in every way, and he was also the chief engineer.

Sun Xiwang had long disliked him.

Joanne was quick and efficient, and soon found the problem.

Aunt Liu was stunned to see her skillfully disassemble the machine.

Everyone knows that Qiao An is illiterate and can't read a single word. Coming out with her today has really opened my eyes.

Joan pointed to a bearing the size of a fist inside.

"This is it."

"Huh?" Qiao An suddenly exclaimed.

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Zhengang's heart skipped a beat, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

"Hmph, what a clumsy trick."

Qiao An removed the bearing sleeve and handed it to Zhao Zhengang.

"Look, the weld on the bearing sleeve has already started to crack. Even our workers wouldn't make such a basic mistake. With D country's advanced industrial level, how could they use such a crude welding method?"
