The next day at work, Li Kailang came to the transport team as usual.

"Xiao Li, come here for a moment." Zhang Jinwu asked Li Kailang to go to the office.

Lu Wenjiang and Zhang Fen were both in the office.

Zhang Fen hurriedly asked, "Xiao Li, what happened to you? Yesterday, a soldier came to our house and asked about you."

Looking at Zhang Fen's anxious look, it was obvious that all his fellow disciples were implicated because of his affairs.

Li Kailang comforted them, "It's okay. We were just dragged into this case. I was not at home yesterday, so they came to look for you."

Zhang Fen asked, "What case is it? Even we have been investigated and soldiers have been dispatched."

Li Kailang smiled and said, "I can't tell you what the case is."

"Oh, so you're okay?" Zhang Fen said.

Li Kailang: "Do you think I look like I'm in trouble? Don't worry, I'm standing here, so I'm definitely fine. I was just dragged into this innocently."

Zhang Fen patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "Is that so? That's good. I was scared to death. I thought you..."

Seeing this, Zhang Jinwu and Lu Wenjiang also breathed a sigh of relief.

Having said that, Li Kailang could feel that he was being monitored when he went out in the morning.

Although he was let off, he was obviously not at ease.

After all, Li Kailang hid for almost the entire day yesterday and did not show up. If there were no gunshot marks, he would have been taken away on the spot.

Zhang Jinwu waved his hand: "Okay, since everything is fine, do what you need to do and hurry up to complete the mission."

After receiving the task list, Li Kailang went to the warehouse.

Until now, the feeling of being monitored still exists. "It seems that they will not feel at ease unless I put in some real effort."

Isn't there a ready-made opportunity in front of you? It's a good opportunity to show off.

"Team Leader Ma, there are a lot of supplies today. I'll help you move some."

Li Kailang rolled up his clothes and went to move supplies.

"Well, that's great, let me ask you for help." Ma Qian felt embarrassed and stopped him.

Li Kailang said: "Team Leader Ma, look at what you are saying. Two people from your team are off today and we are too busy. It's no big deal for me to help, so don't refuse."

"Team Leader Ma, please stop talking and move quickly. You are not in a hurry, but I am in a hurry to complete the task."

After saying that, Li Kailang walked around Ma Qian and went to move the supplies.

Li Kailang bared his arms and carried the supplies one by one, very steadily.

In order to make it look more realistic, Li Kailang even deliberately let his left hand bear heavier supplies.

After the operation, no one could see any problem and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with the left hand.

In the distance, a man was looking at Li Kailang with a telescope and couldn't help muttering to himself: "Even if you are not sick, you wouldn't dare to move like this. How could this kid be in trouble if he moved like this?"

"I don't understand what else this kid has to doubt?"

Although he said so, his right hand did not stop recording Li Kailang's actions.

After doing this, the original naked sense of surveillance became a little softer and less hostile.

"Team Leader Ma, the supplies have been moved and it's time for me to do my task." Li Kailang greeted.

"Oh, thank you for your help, Master Li." Team leader Ma said embarrassedly.

"That's too serious. I don't want to chat with you anymore. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, Li Kailang drove away to complete his mission.

At this point, the person who was monitoring him could no longer follow Li Kailang.

Li Kailang was driving on the highway. Teams of soldiers were moving through the streets and alleys, still searching.

They were searching the military compound for other people who had seen the newcomer and were investigating further.

This went on for several days, and Li Kailang went back and forth between these two places every day.

He goes to work on time, leaves work on time and goes home to cook, and doesn't walk around, which makes the people who are monitoring him very bored.

But it was also this that allowed Li Kailang to further eliminate his doubts.

After several days of investigation, the person was still not found, so the authorities ended the investigation.

After all, having teams of soldiers taking to the streets does not have a good impact, and the current focus is on solving the problem.

On the other side, the workshop.

"Mr. Vasily Ram, the parts have been delivered. Please start the repair."

"Okay." Vasily Ram nodded and started repairing the rolling mill.

Director Yang thought for a long time and finally decided to ship the parts back.

The steel mill’s foreign exchange cannot buy new rolling mills, but it can be used to buy spare parts. Fortunately, the expenditure this time is not large.

The parts the steel mill needed happened to coincide with a batch of materials that were to be shipped back to the country, so they were able to catch a ride.

Before Vasily Ram's repairs, Director Yang also held a meeting to gather everyone's opinions.

Yi Zhonghai stepped forward and said, "Director Yang, I think I can make replacement parts for the damaged rolling mill."

Everyone looked at Yi Zhonghai with surprise. It was a cause for celebration that someone stood up in such a critical moment.

Director Yang frowned and said seriously, "Engineer Yi, are you really confident that you can make the parts?"

"Really!" Yi Zhonghai nodded confidently, "These few days I have made a few according to the size of the original parts. Take a look."

Yi Zhonghai took out the spare parts that he had prepared in advance, which were the damaged parts.

Director Yang looked at the parts on hand. They were very sturdy and of reasonable specifications.

"Director Yang, there is no problem with the one made by Engineer Yi. I think we should give it a try and use the one made by Engineer Yi instead." said workshop director Deng Chaoquan.

Yi Zhonghai was from his first workshop, so if he did a good job, he would also get some benefits.

Director Yang did not answer in a hurry, but carefully checked the parts to ensure that each one was strong and compliant.

Then he looked up at Yi Zhonghai and said solemnly: "Engineer Yi, thank you very much for sharing the worries of the steel mill. Your spirit is worthy of learning for all of us."

Yi Zhonghai said modestly: "As a member of the steel rolling mill, this is what I should do."

Director Yang nodded, stared at Yi Zhonghai, and got straight to the point: "Engineer Yi, I have a few questions here, I hope you can answer them."

"First, do you have confidence in the parts you make and ensure that they will not break?"

Yi Zhonghai said without hesitation: "I have confidence!"

Director Yang nodded and praised: "Very good, the second question, Vasily Ram said that the materials we use are not as good as theirs."

"Do you have confidence that the parts you make are better than theirs?"

Yi Zhonghai hesitated for a moment and said, "I have confidence!"

But the tone was not as confident as the first time.

Director Yang nodded: "Okay, it's good to have confidence. The last question is, if something happens to the rolling mill, do you dare to take the risk?"

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai hesitated and did not dare to answer immediately.

Everyone looked at Yi Zhonghai quietly, waiting for his answer.

In the conference room, the only sound was the ticking of the clock.

Yi Zhonghai lowered his head and remained silent for a long time without answering the question.

Seeing this, Director Yang couldn't help but sigh and said softly: "Mr. Yi, thank you for your hard work. Please sit down."

Director Yang's last words were not really about wanting Yi Zhonghai to take the blame if something went wrong, but about wanting his confidence.

If Yi Zhonghai had confidence, even if the rolling mill really went wrong, the worst that could happen was that he would ask Vasily Ram to repair it, which would only cost a little more foreign exchange.

If Yi Zhonghai can make a component once, he can make it a second time. Talent is the most important thing. But Yi Zhonghai's answer disappointed him, but Yi Zhonghai dared to stand up, which was considered to be in his eyes.

"Ahem, let's get back to the topic." Director Yang coughed twice.

"I think we should buy the spare parts and let Vasily Ram repair them. What do you think?"

"I think it's okay, let's do it." Deng Chaoquan immediately agreed.

"I think so too. These insurance points won't go wrong."

"Yeah, since there's a mistake, they'll send someone to fix it, so the warranty won't be broken."

Everyone agreed with Director Yang's opinion and agreed to buy spare parts to repair the machine.

Once the parts made by Yi Zhonghai are used as replacements, the warranty will be void, and any problems that occur in the steel mill in the future will have nothing to do with them.

They dare not take such a big responsibility and would rather spend a lot of money than make mistakes.

It's better to spend some money on warranty.

These foreign currencies happened to be obtained by Li Kailang, so he didn't feel bad at all about spending them.

Back to topic.

After several days of transportation, the parts from the north arrived at the steel mill and were handed over to Vasily Ram as soon as possible.

"Mr. Vasily Ram, the spare parts have been delivered. Please start the repairs." Director Yang said.

Vasily Ram began repairing the rolling mill.

Vasily Ram looked at the "fresh and hot" parts in his hands and smiled slightly.

These parts are one size smaller than required.

One or two might be accidents, but if they were all smaller, it was not an accident, it must have been intentional, and he was too lazy to say it.

One size bigger, one size smaller, it may not seem like there is much difference, but there is a difference.

Just like when a gear is missing a tooth, it will soon affect its operation and eventually cause the entire gear chain to be destroyed.

It is a case of one move affecting the entire body. Something bad is bound to happen, it is just a matter of time.

"Director Yang, is there a problem with these parts?" Yi Zhonghai hurriedly whispered to Director Yang.

"I know." Director Yang said lightly, looking at Vasily Ram repairing calmly.

"You know? Then why did you let him repair it!" Yi Zhonghai pointed at Vasily Ram angrily.

Director Yang directly pulled Yi Zhonghai's hand down and said, "If there is any problem, wait until the people leave. First, see how others repair it and learn it well. I will rely on you in the future."

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai shut up instantly, looking at Vasily Ramshyi without knowing what he was thinking.

Half an hour later, Vasily Ram completed the repairs with a relaxed look.

"Okay, the parts have been replaced. Let's try turning it on and see if it works?" Vasily Ram clapped his hands.

After the translator relayed the message, Director Yang signaled to the operator nearby.

He immediately turned on the switch, a rumbling sound was heard, and everyone watched the steel mill operate.

After a while, the steel mill was fully operational and everyone felt relieved.

"Director Yang, I have repaired the machine." Vasily Ram said lightly.

Director Yang held Vasily Ram's hand tightly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Vasily Ram. Don't worry, we will pay you the expenses during your business trip, and we guarantee that not a penny will be missing."

Hearing about the money, Vasily Ram was in a much better mood and smiled, "If there are still problems with this machine, come to me and I will definitely give you a discount."

"Oh, no, I will definitely come to help you."

"I understand, I understand. I'll definitely do it next time, definitely next time!" Director Yang said with a fake smile.

"Okay, now that it's repaired, I'll go back and rest. I'll be back tomorrow." said Vasily Ram.

The implication was that Director Yang should transfer the money quickly.

Director Yang said, "Okay, don't worry, the money will be paid to you before tonight."

"Thank you for your help." Vasily Ram said lightly, patted his butt and left, returning to the hotel to rest.

Vasily Ram was in the hotel, sitting cross-legged with his hands behind his head, looking very relaxed.

"Alas, I'm on a business trip for ten days, the work is easy and simple, and I earn more than two months' salary. Where can I find such a good job? I will come again in the future."

"This machine will break down soon, and I'll make some money then."

"It won't take many times before I can buy another house."

Vasily Ram fantasizes about money falling from the sky and he has a daydream of immense wealth.

"The rolling mill has been repaired. Everyone can go and get busy. There is no need to stay here and affect production." said Director Yang.

Hearing this, everyone left tactfully.

"Mr. Yi, wait, let's talk." Director Yang called Yi Zhonghai and changed the place to talk.

The two came to a secluded corner.

Director Yang said, "Engineer Yi, are you blaming me for not pointing out the problem with the parts in person?"

"No, no." Yi Zhonghai said in panic.

"Well, tell me, I don't blame you." Director Yang said.

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I meant."

Director Yang explained: "Of course I know the specifications of the parts are wrong, but the parts have already been delivered. Do I have to ship them back?"

"This back and forth not only wastes the factory's foreign exchange, but also delays time and production."

"There are many things to consider. I have no choice but to agree. I hope you can understand."

After listening to Director Yang's explanation, Yi Zhonghai finally understood.

"It's my fault. I didn't think it through."

"I don't blame you!" Director Yang said, "In fact, I have high hopes for you. I am very pleased with what you did in the conference room before."

"There aren't many level eight workers in the factory. It's great that you can stand up. In fact, when I asked you the last question that day, I didn't really want you to take responsibility."

"I want to test your confidence. As long as you have confidence, I will hand this rolling mill over to you."

Yi Zhonghai was suddenly panic-stricken, afraid that Director Yang would actually entrust him with such an important task, and afraid that Director Yang would explain everything to him.

"This is such a big thing, can I do it?" Yi Zhonghai said in panic.

Director Yang looked him straight in the eye: "What? Are you scared? Where is your confident look that day?"

Director Yang put his arm around Yi Zhonghai's shoulders and said frankly, "You saw it too. Today they dared to fool us with parts of different specifications."

"Tomorrow, they will deliberately damage our machines. Who knows what they will do in the future."

"You are one of the few eighth-level fitters in the factory. I hope you can take on the responsibility of maintenance and do a good job of maintenance."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Director Yang's determined and hopeful eyes. How could he not be happy and delighted that he valued him so much?

Yi Zhonghai said firmly: "Don't worry, Director Yang, as long as I am here, the maintenance will not fail."

Director Yang laughed out loud: "Okay, okay, Mr. Yi, I was right about you. I'll rely on you from now on."

"Don't worry, Director Yang!" Yi Zhonghai said firmly.

"Hearing you say that, I feel relieved. I still have things to do, so I'll go get busy first." Director Yang said.

"You go ahead and do your thing." Yi Zhonghai gestured with his hand.

Seeing Director Yang’s background disappear, Yi Zhonghai danced with joy.

"After so many years, it's finally time for me to come forward!"
