Chapter 54: Laozi Takes It!
Hearing Zhao Youguang’s words, Luo Jiang’s eyes flashed with a gleam of successful scheming, but his face was still full of anger: “Just now, two military vehicles and over a dozen guards came looking for me, saying it’s a national emergency mission, 1000 special wire harnesses, one day time!
Even a small factory like mine came looking, you think about how urgent this mission must be?
I’m lustful, but I can distinguish priorities. I patted my chest and took on this mission!
In the end, you damn old Zhao, I used to think you had a bad temper but were ultimately an upright person. Now, just because of our little disagreement, you won’t even take on a national emergency mission. I’ve misjudged you.
We’re done, each goes our own way!”
Zhao Youguang seemed not to hear Luo Jiang’s cursing, muttering: “National emergency mission… don’t go, I’ll take it!”
Luo Jiang suppressed his inner excitement, still maintaining the anger on his face: “What? Figured it out?”
“Luo Jiang, I’m taking on the national mission, it has nothing to do with you. To me, you’re just a roadside dog, can’t be changed!”
A smile instantly appeared on Luo Jiang’s face: “Fine fine fine, I’m a dog, okay? If you’re still angry, I’ll bark a couple times? Woof woof woof!”
“Cut the damn grinning, I’m telling you, 200,000 bucks, not a penny less. This money I won’t keep, I’ll donate it all to the education project!”
“Okay okay okay, I’ll add another 100,000, alright?”
The car sped all the way, quickly returning to the factory.
“Old Zhao, assistants are all arranged for you, total 40 people, three shifts. Whatever you say, I’ll do.”
“Cut the crap, start working!”
Amid the roar of machines, in the clean room, slender cables coated with silver coating flowed one by one along the assembly line.
Zhao Youguang, wearing full-body dustproof suit, carefully selected suitable ones from them, then personally placed them into the nearby equipment, processing each one meticulously.
Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, four hours had gone by. But in the finished product frame, the qualified cables personally processed and inspected by Zhao Youguang were only a small bundle, just a few dozen.
“Damn it, all of you be careful and serious! What the hell is this crap!”
The workers were all silent as cicadas in winter.
Luo Jiang looked worriedly at Zhao Youguang who had been working non-stop for four hours, his voice coming through the walkie-talkie: “Old Zhao, take a break? Eat something.”
“What the hell do you know! No wonder the factory is getting worse, look at the people you hired!”
Zhao Youguang opened his mouth and cursed: “Good-for-nothings! This final process must be done by me personally, you guys can’t do it!”
Luo Jiang wasn’t angry at all, as if he was already used to it: “Old Zhao, take it easy, your body isn’t like the young ones anymore.”
“Get lost, don’t bother me.”
Eight hours later, the sky was already dark. The young workers responsible for the early processes had changed shifts, and in the clean room, Zhao Youguang was still like a tireless robot, focusing intently on the final process.
Luo Jiang’s expression was full of worry. After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and spoke into the walkie-talkie again: “Old Zhao, you must rest for a bit.”
“What the hell do you know! At this production speed, it’s good if we can produce them before the deadline, rest? You think I’m a waste like you?”
“You damn it, come out right now to eat, or I’ll shut down the production line!”
Under Luo Jiang’s threat, Zhao Youguang grumbled and walked out of the clean room, casually ate something, filled his personal water bottle with water, and was about to get up.
Just as he stood up, he swayed, and sat back down on the seat.
“Old Zhao?”
“I’m fine. Back in the day during the big campaign, I worked non-stop for 36 hours without issue. Continue!”
The night gradually deepened, and Zhao Youguang still stood at his workstation, his arms still as steady as machinery.
Unknowingly, outside the dustproof glass, off-duty workers had gathered.
They didn’t leave, just stood there quietly, silently watching Zhao Youguang inside with full reverence.
Cough cough…
A bout of violent coughing came. Luo Jiang instantly stood up, but before he could speak, Zhao Youguang’s voice came from inside: “Don’t damn act all sentimental with me, I’m fine.”
Gradually, more and more people gathered outside the dustproof glass.
Watching Zhao Youguang who had been working in the room for over ten hours, Luo Jiang’s eyes gradually moistened, muttering as if to himself: “This old Zhao, damn really, damn really…”
In the finished product frame, the qualified cables processed by Zhao Youguang were increasing. When a streak of morning light appeared in the eastern sky, Zhao Youguang finally let out a light breath, solemnly placing those cables into the dustproof bag.
At that moment, a whooshing sound came from the factory building entrance. Luo Jiang knew that the cargo receivers had arrived.
“These cables are all qualified, hand them o…”
Zhao Youguang’s body swayed, and he collapsed to the ground like a noodle, silent.
“Old Zhao, Old Zhao! Doctor, doctor!”
The already prepared doctor rushed over quickly, while Luo Jiang frantically shook Zhao Youguang: “Old Zhao you damn don’t sleep, don’t sleep! Woo woo, you damn don’t die!”
A young man with “Linyun 7768” written on his armband rushed in hurriedly: “I’m the driver responsible for this cargo transportation, where’s the cargo?”
He quickly scanned the hall, his pupils suddenly contracting: “Uncle Zhao? Uncle Zhao! What’s wrong with you? Wake up!”
His face full of panic, he forcefully pushed through the crowd, shouting hoarsely at Zhao Youguang on the ground.
The next moment, Zhao Youguang suddenly opened his eyes and cursed: “Don’t damn make noise, let me sleep a bit! You damn try staying up for over 20 hours! Huh?”
His voice suddenly turned ice-cold, staring deadly at the young man with the armband: “Sun Yu? What are you doing here?”
Sun Yu instantly became tense: “Uncle Zhao, I, I accepted the national draft, came, came to pick up and deliver the cargo…”
Zhao Youguang stared at him deadly: “Not doing your trucking business anymore?”
“Doing, doing, of course doing. Don’t worry, after finishing the national mission, I’ll immediately make up for these delayed days. I’ll definitely earn good money, treat Zhao Juan well…”
Zhao Youguang’s cold gaze softened unconsciously: “Mm, be safe. Go quickly, the national mission can’t be delayed.”
“Yes, yes, I’m going right now.”
Taking the tightly wrapped bag handed over by Luo Jiang, Sun Yu stiffly turned around.
“Wait a minute.”
Zhao Youguang paused, as if having made some determination: “Do well. When it’s over, come home with Zhao Juan for dinner.”
Sun Yu was stunned, the next moment bursting with excitement, trembling slightly as he looked at Zhao Youguang: “Uncle Zhao, I, I definitely, definitely will go!”
“Be safe, go.”
Sun Yu’s feet seemed to have wheels, darting out in a flash. Zhao Youguang then looked at Luo Jiang beside him: “What the damn are you standing there for? Help me to the restroom!”
