Chapter 20

(Listen, listen, listen, there are many things in the book that I have personally experienced, it's like writing my own privacy into it. Seeing Chang Huan so earnest, everyone, please add it to your bookshelf and give some recommendation votes.)

Lu Xin said calmly, "Director Li, didn't you just praise me for being very meticulous, serious, and responsible in my work? I am just being meticulous, serious, and responsible when inspecting the equipment. Efficiency is about being both fast and good, I can't just seek speed and ignore the quality of the inspection."

"But your inspection speed is really too slow, slower than a turtle," Li Qiming stood there, feeling the pain in his ankle where he had been pricked by a needle start to hurt again. Seeing Lu Xin's composed attitude, he became furious and started to curse, "No, comparing your speed to a turtle is an insult to the turtle!"

"Director Li, it seems I have only been in the maintenance class for a month, right?" Lu Xin smiled calmly, "A new person who has only been on the job for a month, you expect me to work both fast and well, isn't that forcing me to do the impossible? Why don't we ask the vice president of the division, Jiang Chunyu, to judge?"

Previously, Jiang Chunyu said she couldn't do anything about Li Qiming, mainly because her cousin Jiang Zhenhua and his wife were deceived by Li Qiming's pretentious performance, viewing Li Qiming as Jiang Xueqing's fiancé. Jiang Chunyu didn't want to cause her cousin any displeasure by getting involved, but she had never really liked Li Qiming. Li Qiming also knew his limits and was very afraid of Jiang Chunyu, not daring to go to her. This morning, when the vacuum arc furnace had a problem, he clearly came to the factory but never showed up.

"Hmph, don't always use the higher-ups to pressure me. You should know that in this factory, I am your direct superior," Li Qiming glared at Lu Xin coldly, wanting to continue standing there to supervise Lu Xin's work. However, he found that his ankle, where he had been pricked by a needle, was hurting badly. He called over the production management engineer, Xie Fei, who was standing there with a fawning smile, "Xie Fei, help me keep an eye on Lu Xin, see if he needs any help. I hope Lu Xin can thoroughly inspect the equipment in our factory today. As a production management person, you should assist him well!"

Li Qiming gave Xie Fei a meaningful look. Xie Fei had witnessed the conflict between Li Qiming and Lu Xin over Jiang Xueqing at the annual meeting and understood that Li Qiming wanted to make things difficult for Lu Xin, to supervise his work and make him exhausted.

Li Qiming and Xie Fei were very clear that in the past month, although Lu Xin had a name with three gold characters, he had always been affected by metal, getting injured by metal materials every day, whether it was being pricked by a nail or hit by a hammer. If he were to continue working on the equipment day after day without a break, the chances of him dying or becoming disabled would be very high.

Xie Fei nodded slightly to Li Qiming, who laughed triumphantly and limped away.

Li Qiming walked back to the factory office, and Xie Fei brought a chair, sitting there grandly, really like a supervisor, watching Lu Xin work.

Lu Xin was furious, damn it, what a petty person, taking a feather for an arrow. He couldn't help but think of what Xie Fei's greedy and vain girlfriend, Zhou Ya, had said to him earlier, and he asked with a smile, "Xie Fei, I heard you're going back to your hometown tomorrow?"

"Yes, my grandfather passed away, I need to go back for the funeral," Xie Fei's face showed no signs of sadness. He looked at Lu Xin in surprise, "Who told you that?"

Lu Xin knew that although Xie Fei was very stingy with his girlfriend, Zhou Ya, he was very worried that his girlfriend, who looked like Tang Wei and had a large chest, would cheat on him. If Lu Xin said he heard it from Zhou Ya, Xie Fei would definitely suspect that he and Zhou Ya had something going on, so he said casually, "Ma Changle told me!"

Last year, three people from the Mechanical Engineering College of Jiangnan University of Science and Technology came to work at Sanjiang Group. Besides Xie Fei and Lu Xin, the other one was Ma Changle. Because of his long face, which resembled Li Yong, people often secretly called him Ma Changlian. It was said that he was also a relative of a leader in the group, and he was close to Xie Fei, and his relationship with Lu Xin was also decent. He worked in another division and lived in the dormitory to the left of Lu Xin's.

Xie Fei didn't dwell on this issue, tilting his head back and looking at Lu Xin proudly, "Lu Xin, we are both graduates of the Mechanical Engineering College of Jiangnan University. As classmates, I kindly remind you to know your limits!"

"I don't understand what you're talking about," Lu Xin hated Xie Fei's arrogant face the most.

"You, a poor orphan with a difficult family background, do you think you are a match for a rich and beautiful girl like Jiang Xueqing?" Xie Fei sneered, "Being able to interact with the goddess in the literary society for four years of university is already a stroke of luck for you. After graduation, you should be more practical. A woman like Jiang Xueqing is not someone you can think about, she belongs to an elite like Director Li. You should find a girl of the petite and virtuous type, have a wife and children, and live a simple and peaceful life. Don't always think about unrealistic things like a comeback or living off a woman."

If Xie Fei had said these words with a sincere tone, they might have sounded like honest advice from a friend. But when Xie Fei said these words, his head was tilted at a 45-degree angle, not looking at Lu Xin, and his tone was extremely harsh, as if he were lecturing a child.

Lu Xin naturally couldn't stand such words, and he laughed coldly, "Xie Fei, I heard that all the boys in our class once had a crush on Jiang Xueqing. What about you, did you have a crush on her?"

"I... I..." Xie Fei suddenly became stammering, "Jiang Xueqing is Director Li's girlfriend, how
