Chapter 418: Famous

Director Chen, how could he not know this little girl was doing it on purpose: "Alright, with your smart brain, you've already guessed how things would unfold. But don't worry, I won't let you work for free; I've fought to secure some benefits for you."

Factory Director Yang said that if all these documents could be translated within two days, the factory would reward three hundred yuan and a bicycle ticket. If, before the experts arrived, she could assist the factory's veteran masters in successfully starting and running the hydraulic transmission diesel locomotive, the factory would reward her six hundred yuan, a bicycle ticket, and a radio ticket.

Hearing this, Chuxue was also shocked: "This is truly going all out."

Director Chen smiled bitterly: "You, as a newcomer, might not be clear on how heavy the factory's workload has been these past few months. The factory leaders gave their word to the ministry. You can imagine the pressure. Seeing the iron beast they've been day and night hoping for arrive but remain unusable, how could they not be anxious and angry?"

The sooner it's put to use, the easier it will be for the workers, and the factory can complete its tasks a day earlier. Originally, the ministry found experts, but to highlight their importance, they naturally had to act difficult. How could the leaders not be furious?"

Chuxue understood now; the factory leaders probably thought: "Better to lose a bun than lose face."

Since she still had to stay here for over two years, she naturally couldn't just stand by and do nothing, let alone with such generous rewards: "Then what are we waiting for?"

Remembering something, she added: "But don't be too optimistic; after all, there is still a certain difference between translation and practical application."

"I know that. You just translate it, explain it clearly to the factory's veteran masters, and let them figure it out themselves. Best of all, get that iron beast running before the experts arrive."

"I understand your meaning. I will translate the documents as soon as possible, then board the train to cooperate with the locomotive driver."

As the two were talking, they arrived at the factory office; when they got there, someone was already waiting for them.

An office was prepared specifically for Chuxue so she could translate in peace.

That person thoughtfully prepared a German-Chinese dictionary for her; even lunch and dinner were brought to her by someone else.

With the factory arranging everything so properly, how could she not give her all?

After staying up all night, by the afternoon of the next day, she finally finished translating all the documents.

Only after checking for any errors did she walk out of that office.

The person waiting outside immediately rushed forward: "How is it?"

"I have not failed my mission."

Director Chen took the translation draft first and looked it over: "Sending you to the finance office was truly a waste; you were born to eat from the bowl of translation."

At this moment, someone from the locomotive team also arrived: "Is the translation finished?"

After receiving an affirmative reply: "Then what are we waiting for?"

Director Chen looked at Chuxue, whose spirit seemed a bit depleted: "Comrade Xiao Liu stayed up all night last night. How about letting her rest for a few hours? You can take these translated documents and go try the machine first."

That person also knew he was too impatient. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Chuxue say: "Let's go over there first; I'll catch up on sleep later."

After all, everyone was waiting; how could she have the face to go back and sleep?

Even if not for anything else, she had to fight for that considerable reward and to slap the face of that expert who wanted to manipulate the factory.

It wouldn't be too late to rest properly once everything settled down.

Fortunately, this locomotive master had been transferred from Shougang and already had over two years of experience driving locomotives; he had previously driven the domestically produced 'Giant Dragon' hydraulic transmission diesel locomotive, whereas this one was the most advanced hydraulic transmission diesel locomotive imported from Germany at the time.

After another half day and a night, at past ten o'clock the next day, the locomotive successfully completed its first run. At that time, Factory Director Yang and Secretary Cheng, along with a host of leaders, watched the entire process.

The name Liu Chuxue became popular throughout the Rolling Mill Factory; no one expected such a little girl who had just joined the factory to accomplish such a major feat.

After receiving the factory's reward as wished, she bought a lot of candy, then stir-fried some peanuts and melon seeds produced in her space, and distributed them to the factory office, the finance office, and the locomotive team, considering it a small token of her gratitude.

Of course, she wasn't the only one to receive a reward; the members of the locomotive team also got rewards, though not as much as she did.
