Chapter 1828: There, the task assigned by the director is finally completed

Just as Master Pang finished speaking, he heard someone walk into the factory door.

Seeing the person, Jiang Wenyue smiled at Chuxue: "You came at a good time today. I'll introduce you to the only partner of the daily chemical factory you haven't met yet."

When that person reached them, he looked at Jiang Wenyue: "Where did you hire the technician?"

Jiang Wenyue laughed: "It's Master Pang from the First Daily Chemical Factory."

Hearing this, the man was clearly stunned for a moment: "Didn't you say they couldn't spare anyone over there?"

Jiang Wenyue didn't answer him but said to Chuxue: "This is Jian Feifan, the person in charge of our daily chemical factory."

Jian Feifan was also stunned when he saw Chuxue clearly; Chuxue's appearance was simply too eye-catching.

He smiled and nodded at Chuxue: "Hello."

Seeing him like this, Jiang Wenyue realized he had clearly misunderstood: "Feifan, this is Chuxue. Don't mistake her for a friend I brought to the factory to wander around."

Hearing this, Jian Feifan's smile became significantly more sincere. He hurriedly reached out his hand: "Hello, I'm Jian Feifan. I've heard Wenyue and the others mention you so often; I'm finally meeting you in person."

Chuxue smiled and reached out, shaking his hand lightly: "Hello, it's nice to meet you. Wenyue has praised you quite a bit in front of me."

After a few simple pleasantries, everyone's attention returned to the newly repaired vacuum dryer.

Just then, the machine started up. They all gathered around; it was indeed no longer leaking oil, the vacuum gauge was rising slowly, and the dryer was operating normally.

Jian Feifan said to Jiang Wenyue: "I didn't expect the machine to be repaired so quickly. I'll give you credit for this."

Jiang Wenyue waved her hand: "I wouldn't dare take the credit. If anyone gets credit, it should be Chuxue."

Jian Feifan looked puzzled: "Chuxue hired this technician?"

Jiang Wenyue smiled with pride: "Not exactly, but if Chuxue hadn't stepped in to help the first factory translate their manual, Master Pang and his team probably wouldn't have been able to repair that West German paste-making machine so quickly."

"If they couldn't fix things over there, they wouldn't have had time to come help us, so this primary credit must go to our Comrade Xiao Chuxue."

After saying that, she winked at Chuxue.

It was truly unexpected that Jiang Wenyue, who was so cold and aloof at school, could have such a side.

Jian Feifan hadn't expected Chuxue to bring him such a big surprise: "It seems my partners are all extraordinary."

Jiang Wenyue rolled her eyes at him: "You thought our Chuxue was just an investor? My Chuxue is very capable."

While they were bickering, Master Pang had already brought people to the old Italian soap-pressing machine and said to the factory's maintenance technician: "Start it up and let's listen to the sound."

As soon as the machine started, the workshop was filled with a harsh "buzzing" sound that made the ground tremble.

Master Pang circled the machine twice, shook the pulley with his hand, and then raised his hand to signal the factory's maintenance worker to stop the machine and cut the power. Afterward, he began to remove the belt and gently tapped the pulley with a copper rod.

He directed the factory's maintenance worker to clean the rust from the shaft journal and keyway, pad the worn keyway with thin sheet metal, re-fit the flat key, and reset and tighten the pulley.

Afterward, he checked the bearings on both sides, removed the dust cover, cleared away the dried and blackened old grease, added new lithium-based lubricant, adjusted the belt tension, and leveled it left and right to prevent the belt from running off-track.

After turning it on again, the headache-inducing buzzing sound had disappeared, and the pulley turned steadily and smoothly, with only a slight, low-pitched rotating sound.

Master Pang smiled and put down his tools: "There, the task assigned by the director is finally completed."

After saying that, he smiled at Chuxue: "Comrade Xiao, if the factory encounters any translation issues in the future, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you again."

Chuxue said generously: "Master Pang, you're being too formal. If this side encounters any machine problems that can't be handled in the future, we'll have to trouble you master technicians to come help. We'll exchange what we have for what we need; this is called mutual benefit."

After some pleasantries, Jian Feifan didn't let the two masters leave empty-handed; he stuffed a pack of cigarettes into each of their hands and happily sent them off.

Jiang Wenyue checked the time: "Chuxue, it's rare for you to come over. If possible, why don't we call Yaru and Yueyue, and the few of us can get together tonight to celebrate the opening of our new factory?" ===== CHAPTER 1834 =====
