Chapter 1833: Got it; finally, the task assigned by the factory director is complete

Master Pang had barely finished speaking when someone walked in through the factory gate.

Seeing the newcomer, Jiang Wenyue smiled at Chuxue: "You've arrived at a perfect time; the only partner of the Daily Chemical Factory you haven't met is here, and I'll introduce you."

The moment the man drew near, he looked at Jiang Wenyue: "Where did you hire this master?"

Jiang Wenyue laughed: "It's Master Pang from Daily Chemical Factory No. 1."

Hearing this, the man was clearly stunned: "Didn't you say they were too busy to come?"

Jiang Wenyue didn't answer him but turned to Chuxue: "This is Jian Feifan, the person in charge of our Daily Chemical Factory."

Seeing Qing Chuxue, Jian Feifan also paused for a moment; Chuxue's looks were simply too striking.

He smiled and nodded at Chuxue: "Hello."

Seeing his reaction, Jiang Wenyue clearly thought he had misunderstood: "Feifan, this is Chuxue; don't mistake her for a friend I brought along to wander around the factory."

Hearing this, Jian Feifan's smile became noticeably more sincere; he quickly extended his hand: "Hello, I'm Jian Feifan. Wenyue and the others have talked about you so often; I'm finally meeting you in person."

Chuxue smiled and extended her hand, giving it a light shake: "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you. Wenyue hasn't stopped praising you in front of me."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, everyone's attention returned to the newly repaired vacuum dryer.

Just then, the machine started up; they all gathered around. Indeed, there was no more oil leakage, the vacuum gauge slowly rose, and the dryer operated normally.

Jian Feifan said to Jiang Wenyue: "I didn't expect the machine to be fixed so quickly; I'll record this as an achievement for you."

Jiang Wenyue waved her hand: "I wouldn't dare take the credit; if any achievement is to be recorded, it must go to Chuxue."

Jian Feifan looked puzzled: "Did Chuxue hire this master?"

Jiang Wenyue smiled with pride: "Not exactly, but without Chuxue stepping in to help translate the manual for Factory No. 1, Master Pang and the others probably wouldn't have fixed that West German ointment machine so quickly."

If they couldn't fix it over there, how would they have had time to come help us? So the primary credit must go to our comrade Xiao Chuxue."

Having said that, she winked at Chuxue.

Truly unexpected; Jiang Wenyue, who was so aloof at school, actually had this side to her.

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

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

While they were bantering, Master Pang had already led his team to the old Italian soap-pressing machine and said to the factory's maintenance technician: "Start it up and listen to the sound."

As soon as the machine started, the workshop was filled with a piercing 'buzz-buzz' sound that made the ground tremble.

Master Pang walked around the machine twice, shook the pulley by hand, then raised his hand to signal the factory's maintenance worker to stop the machine and cut the power. After that, he began removing the belt and gently tapped the pulley with a copper rod.

He directed the factory's maintenance worker to clean rust from the shaft journal and keyway, pad the worn keyway with thin sheet iron, fit a new parallel key, then reposition and tighten the pulley.

Next, he inspected the bearings on both sides, removed the dust covers, scraped off the dried, blackened old grease, injected fresh lithium-based grease, adjusted the belt tension, leveled it left and right, and ensured the belt wouldn't run off-center.

After restarting the machine, the previously headache-inducing buzzing sound vanished; the pulley turned steadily and smoothly, with only a faint, low humming noise.

Master Pang smiled and set down his tools: "Got it; finally, the task assigned by the factory director is complete."

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

Chuxue replied openly: "Master Pang, you're being too formal. If this side ever encounters machine problems we can't handle, we'll have to trouble you veteran masters to come help. We'll exchange what we have; that's called mutual benefit."

After some further pleasantries, Jian Feifan didn't let the two masters leave empty-handed; he gave each of them a pack of cigarettes and cheerfully saw them off.

Jiang Wenyue checked the time: "Chuxue, since you've made the trip, if it's possible, why not invite Yaru and Yueyue? Let's gather tonight to celebrate the opening of our new factory."
