Chapter 522: Chapter 219: The Top-grade Classical Prose (Part 11)_2
"Feng Zheng!"
Factory Director Yang’s furious temper resurfaced in Itinerant World; he stormed to Feng Zheng’s desk and slapped the table, "What’s the matter with you? Your work is too sloppy!"
Feng Zheng was organizing the next set of data when suddenly, he heard a loud voice, and it startled him.
He controlled his pounding heart and abruptly lifted his head, just in time to see his own factory’s angry face.
Feng Zheng was puzzled and felt a bit wronged, "Director, you’re here!"
"Of course, I am! If I hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have known how unserious you all are about your work?"
Factory Director Yang did not go off and scold He Tiantian. Whatever his temper, he still possessed basic logic—
He Tiantian wasn’t even an employee of the factory. As the director, he truly had no right to scold her.
Feng Zheng was different; he was their own engineer, and errors meant reprimands.
Factory Director Yang felt no psychological burden at all.
"Director, when did I ever take my work lightly?"
Feng Zheng suddenly felt as if it was snowing in June, "These past few days, in order to calculate the missile data as soon as possible, Chief Engineer Seo and several of us engineers have been working round the clock!"
Three days, indeed, with barely any sleep.
During the day, it was somewhat bearable, as they could still eat enough to not work on an empty stomach.
But at night, the canteen was long closed, and they could only cope by guzzling boiled water.
Engineer He did pack some cookies or peach crisps for everyone, but no one wanted to consume her supplies.
The first time, unaware of the severity, seeing Engineer He offering them warmly, everyone had a little.
Then, in the middle of the night, as Engineer He calculated, her nose suddenly started bleeding.
It was Engineer He’s elder brother, Comrade He Weijun, who had experience. He quickly made a cup of milk for Engineer He and continuously stuffed her mouth with several pieces of pork fat, and only then did Engineer He’s nosebleed slowly stop.
Excessive mental exertion required substantial nutritional replenishment!
Witnessing Engineer He’s nosebleed firsthand, a group of technicians truly understood the meaning of that statement.
They also understood more clearly why Secretary He dared to risk accusations of "abusing power for personal gain" to find a way to apply for "rewards" for Engineer He!
Engineer He’s brain was a priceless treasure; she was their 3518 Factory’s human-shaped computer, even a national treasure.
With the first experience and witnessing the miracle of Engineer He’s brain, Chief Engineer Seo and the engineers, even if famished to the point of stomach burning, would not touch Engineer He’s nutritional products.
They even tried every way to find nutritious things secretly to supplement Engineer He—she was not just an ordinary girl, but a collective, national wealth!
They must protect her well!
They absolutely couldn’t let her fall ill from overusing her brain!
Engineer He calculated feverishly. With precise data, the technical department staff worked overtime.
Feng Zheng vaguely remembered that he seemed to have not slept for three days.
Of course, he wasn’t expecting to be praised for how hardworking or dedicated he was for his job.
But even without applause or flowers, it wasn’t fair to say he "wasn’t serious about his work."
"Then why did you hand over the data to He Tiantian for calculation? It’s okay to let her calculate, but I observed she merely gave an offhand answer. Why didn’t you even verify it before adopting it?"
Feng Zheng felt aggrieved, and Factory Director Yang was still furious.
Yes, he knew that in recent times, the factory’s technicians were all insanely busy.
But no matter how busy, that wasn’t an excuse for irresponsibility or perfunctory work!
Feng Zheng stared at Factory Director Yang. After a while, he finally understood the reason for Factory Director Yang’s "outburst."
Sighing inwardly, Feng Zheng tried to explain calmly, "Director, Engineer He, oh no, I mean Comrade He Tiantian, wasn’t just guessing wildly."
"Her brain’s computational power is extremely formidable; she can complete thousands of calculations in one second. It’s not just her or me saying this, but including Chief Engineer Seo, all of us engineers have verified this conclusion repeatedly!"
"Really, Director Yang, it might sound unbelievable, but He Tiantian is just that impressive!"
"...Ah, if you don’t believe me, you can ask the other engineers, including Chief Engineer Seo! Even if I wanted to be lazy and not serious about my work, surely not all staff from the technical department are like that!"
In his final words, Feng Zheng’s tone still carried a hint of complaint.
Factory Director Yang, having been rebuked, would normally have scolded back fiercely according to his old temper.
