The winner of life in the courtyard

Chapter 179 The Old Man
"As expected, learning never stops, and turning back is the right path!"

Shen Zhiping was really excited for a while because he could finally understand the big books recommended by the big guys, but he soon realized that this was really not a job for someone like him with a low IQ.

Sure enough, what that person said was right. The more you learn, the more ignorant you realize you are.

Shen Zhiping did not continue to study hard. His life should not be like this.

If you don't have the talent, don't force it.

Originally, he felt that he might need to have a good talk with Liu Wanqing so that his wife would stop having high expectations of him.

Unexpectedly, Liu Wanqing nodded without Shen Zhiping saying anything.

"Wife, don't you plan to persuade me?"

Liu Wanqing was so reasonable that Shen Zhiping felt that he had given up too early. After all, some time ago, Liu Wanqing took care of all the housework so that he could have more time to study.

"Why should I advise you?"

Liu Wanqing took Shen Zhiping's arm and said, "You have lost weight during this period!"

"It was my fault!"

Liu Wanqing had a look of guilt on her face.

She has taken on all the housework during this period and arranged the family's meals very well, but Shen Zhiping still lost weight. This is enough to explain one problem, that is, her man has consumed a lot of energy during this period.

In other words, this kind of lifestyle is not suitable for Shen Zhiping.

Although Liu Wanqing also hopes that her husband will become successful, what she wants more is to live a happy and peaceful life with Shen Zhiping for the rest of her life.

Shen Zhiping's current performance is already very outstanding.

She didn't think her man had to be the best.

Even if Shen Zhiping did not communicate with her this time, Liu Wanqing was ready to find an opportunity to persuade Shen Zhiping to put down those books.

"Wife, you are so nice!"

Shen Zhiping didn't expect Liu Wanqing to think this way.

My heart is filled with emotion.

It was the coldest time of the year and the night was as cold as ice, but the house was bustling with activity.

……

Shen Zhiping's life is still very ordinary.

As the head of the maintenance department, he is not needed for general maintenance tasks.

What really requires his involvement are the new products.

After coming here, Shen Zhiping quickly realized what he was here for, which was to fill in the gaps and make use of his inexplicable talent.

Cheats are talents.

After all, in this era, no one knows about the existence of such things as plug-ins.

Even in later times, if someone really has cheats, there will be no way to confirm it.

This abstract thing that transcends reality cannot be seen by the naked eye.

"Chief Shen, there's a phone call for you!"

That day, Shen Zhiping was warming himself by the stove in his office when someone from the Communications Department came over.

"Looking for my phone number?"

Shen Zhiping was very puzzled. He had been here for some time and this was the first time someone called him.

who can that be?

Senior brother?

Or someone else?

Shen Zhiping stood up and went straight to the Communications Department.

I called back and the other party answered almost instantly.

"Hello, who are you? I'm Shen Zhiping!"

"Mr. Shen, I'm Li Huaide from the steel mill!"

When Shen Zhiping heard the man on the other side introduce himself, his heart skipped a beat. What could be the matter that Mr. Li from the steel rolling mill was looking for him about?
"Director Li, is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

"Engineer Shen, there's something wrong with the machine in the factory. No one in the technical department can determine the problem. I wonder if you have time to come over and help take a look?"

"Well, no problem. I'll ask for leave from my boss and I'll be there soon!"

Shen Zhiping did not refuse Deputy Director Li's request.

If for no other reason, Shen Zhiping owed Deputy Director Li a favor because he helped him keep the east wing of the courtyard.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Zhiping first went to find Liu Wanqing, told her about the situation, then went to his leader to make a report and asked for half a day off.

Although Shen Zhiping's current unit is carrying out a confidential scientific research project, not everyone here will participate in the project. In the maintenance department where Shen Zhiping is located, except for him being a special existence, no one else is involved and they only serve as logistical support.

So, it was easy for Shen Zhiping to ask for leave.

After borrowing a jeep from his workplace, Shen Zhiping drove directly to the steel mill.

It was lunchtime when Shen Zhiping arrived at the steel mill.

When Deputy Director Li saw Shen Zhiping, he immediately invited him to the steel rolling mill's canteen.

When he arrived at the canteen, Shen Zhiping discovered that the chef in charge of the canteen was actually Sha Zhu.

"Director Li, the canteen is now under the management of Master He Yuzhu?"

Shen Zhiping looked at Deputy Director Li with a bit of admiration.

Sha Zhu was previously captured by Deputy Director Li, and the hatred between the two is deep. Isn't he worried that Sha Zhu will add some special seasonings to the dishes?

Apart from anything else, spitting is disgusting enough.

"Master He Daqing fell a few days ago and is still in the hospital. The canteen can only ask Sha Zhu to hold the scene temporarily!"

Deputy Director Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, Engineer Shen, Sha Zhu is different now, and his cooking skills have improved a lot!"

However, no matter what Deputy Director Li said, Shen Zhiping felt a little unsure.

"Director Li, to be honest, I..."

Shen Zhiping was just trying to find an excuse to refuse this invitation to the banquet when he saw a charming female comrade walk in with a plate of food.

Liu Lan!

When Shen Zhiping saw this person, he immediately guessed his identity.

Looking at the eye contact between Deputy Director Li and Liu Lan, Shen Zhiping basically confirmed that the two were now mixed up.

"Mr. Shen, what did you say?"

"Director Li, I want to say that I am short on time here. Why don't we go check on the machine first? We really don't have much time to enjoy this meal!"

Thinking that this meal was prepared by Sha Zhu, Shen Zhiping didn't dare to eat.

It is said that you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others.

There is no good relationship between him and Sha Zhu.

At the beginning, he once tried to wake up Sha Zhu, but Lu Dongbin was not a kind person and there was a grudge between the two of them.

Although Sha Zhu is now married, who can guarantee that Sha Zhu can let go of the past grudges?
"Mr. Shen, it's just time for a meal, it's not necessary, it's not necessary!"

"Director Li, let's check the machine first. If we have enough time and the machine is repaired, we can come back to eat. It won't be too late!"

Shen Zhiping still decided not to eat this meal.

Deputy Director Li couldn't persuade Shen Zhiping, so he had to take him to the workshop first.

When Shen Zhiping saw the malfunctioning machine, the plug-in immediately popped up a message prompt and marked the cause of the failure with a big red exclamation mark.

"Director Li, this machine is broken!"

When Shen Zhiping saw the cause of the failure, he also sighed.

"Waste? How come?"

Deputy Director Li's expression suddenly turned ugly.

The people in the technical department also looked unhappy. This is a steel rolling mill, one of the high-quality assets of the steel mill.

"After long-term high-load operation, most of the components of this machine have problems, and the mainboard is deformed, which is the biggest problem."

"Everyone can take a look. The angle is obviously out of shape!"

……

Shen Zhiping raised his hand and pointed at the various parts of the machine, pointing out the problems.

The people from the technical department next to them started testing with professional measuring tools. Their faces became uglier with every test.

"Engineer Shen, is there no way to fix this?"

"To be honest, it's better to buy a new one than to repair it!"

Shen Zhiping glanced at Deputy Factory Director Li and said, "If it's just a simple component that's damaged, it can be repaired, but the main components are deformed, how can we repair them?"

This is like a car that has been in a serious car accident. The car is severely deformed, the wheels are broken, the chassis is broken, and even the engine is scrapped. How would you repair it?
Change an engine?

you can!

Change wheels?
you can!

All damaged parts can be replaced, but the result of such replacement is a brand new car.

So, what are you doing repairing?
Deputy Director Li looked unhappy.

But who can be blamed for this?
The production task is heavy, and most of the machines in the factory are running non-stop in three shifts.

"Report this to Director Yang!"

Deputy Director Li looked at the people in the technical department and waved his hand.

The people from the technical department left quickly.

After the other party left, Shen Zhiping looked at Deputy Director Li and said, "Director Li, is this technician just now a newcomer to the technical department?"

"Correct!"

Deputy Director Li nodded and said, "Half of the people in the technical department are new. The original staff have been transferred to support the construction of the southwest region!"

After hearing what Deputy Director Li said, Shen Zhiping was stunned for a moment and thought of something.

At this time, yes, the construction of the Third Front should also begin.

During this period, a large number of personnel were drawn from the Northeast and coastal areas to rush to the Third Front.

In the Siheyuan plot, Liu Guangqi, the eldest son of Liu Haizhong, signed up to support the Third Front construction during this period of time, and then fled from the Liu family with his wife.

"Director Li, this machine really cannot be repaired. At least, I don't see any possibility of repairing it. Or, the factory can find someone else to give it a try!"

Shen Zhiping did not say anything definite. After all, although he had a plug-in, what he said was just his personal opinion.

"I still have work to do over there, so I'll leave first!"

"If there are any problems at the steel mill in the future, you can call me!"

"Please stay!"

After looking at the machine, Shen Zhiping said goodbye to Deputy Director Li directly.

There was no way he would eat in the canteen at the steel mill.

What if that guy Shazhu spits in the food? He will be so disgusted!
Deputy Director Li wanted to keep Shen Zhiping, but unfortunately, Shen Zhiping left very quickly.

He Daqing fell!
Sha Zhu takes over the canteen again!
Is this really an accident?
Shen Zhiping didn't know.

He knew almost nothing about what happened in the courtyard after he and Liu Wanqing moved out.

Shen Zhiping started the car, left the steel rolling mill, found a state-owned restaurant outside, and ordered a large portion of hand-rolled noodles.

It was past mealtime and Shen Zhiping was still a little hungry.

As a result, just as he started eating, a slightly familiar voice came from behind him.

Shen Zhiping turned his head to look, and haha, it was indeed an acquaintance.

Xu Damao!
This guy, who is the number one villain in the Siheyuan plot, is actually very lucky in love. He is still very lucky in love at this moment and is having dinner with a graceful woman.

Shen Zhiping just took a look and didn't pay any more attention to it.

I have to say that Xu Damao really has some means. Even without Lou Xiao'e's financial support and no longer being a projectionist at the steel mill, he is still doing well.

After lunch, Shen Zhiping got up and left.

Shen Zhiping was not interested in knowing what Xu Damao's current situation was.

However, Shen Zhiping did not intend to care about Xu Damao, but he did not expect that Xu Damao actually recognized him when he stood up.

"Shen Zhiping!"

When Xu Damao saw Shen Zhiping, he was not sure that this was Shen Zhiping, he just felt that he looked like him, after all, it was just a back view.

But he still tried to shout.

Shen Zhiping naturally didn't know that Xu Damao had not confirmed him.

Hearing Xu Damao's shout, Shen Zhiping thought he was recognized. It was not good to pretend he didn't hear it, so he stopped and looked back.

"Hey, it's really you!"

After Shen Zhiping turned around, Xu Damao confirmed Shen Zhiping's identity and was so happy.

"Xu Damao?!"

Shen Zhiping could only look at Xu Damao in pretended surprise.

Xu Damao stood up from his seat and walked towards Shen Zhiping.

"Engineer Shen, long time no see. Um, how about having a drink together?"

Xu Damao looked at Shen Zhiping with extreme excitement.

Of course, he didn't have a deep friendship with Shen Zhiping. The reason why he was so excited was purely because he wanted to find Lou Xiaoe through Shen Zhiping.

After Lou Xiao'e was transferred from the steel rolling mill and moved out of the courtyard, Xu Damao tried his best but could not find out where Lou Xiao'e had been transferred to.

But he is still thinking about remarrying Lou Xiao'e!
"Sorry, I have work to do here!"

Shen Zhiping declined.

"Engineer Shen, I want to ask, do you know where Lou Xiao'e works now?"

"Know!"

"Where? Can you tell me? I need to see her for something!"

Xu Damao was even more surprised.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you about this!"

Shen Zhiping rejected Xu Damao's request very straightforwardly. "However, I will tell Comrade Lou Xiao'e about your situation. Whether I want to see you depends on Comrade Lou Xiao'e's opinion!"

If someone else said this, Xu Damao would definitely make a fuss.

However, after Shen Zhiping said this, Xu Damao had no objection.

There is no other reason, it’s just that his reputation is too great!
Ever since Shen Zhiping moved into the courtyard, the previous order in the courtyard has been completely overturned. Xu Damao also knows Shen Zhiping's power.

Xu Damao doesn't want to be remembered by Shen Zhiping.

Even though he is not in the steel rolling mill now, Shen Zhiping is really amazing. He is a level 6 engineer and knows so many people.

If Shen Zhiping wanted to punish him, he might even lose his current job.

Once he loses his job, why should he be so leisurely as he is now?

"Engineer Shen, thank you so much!"

"You're welcome, it's just a piece of cake!"

Shen Zhiping smiled and waved goodbye to Xu Damao.

Of course, since he had promised Xu Damao, he would keep his word and tell Lou Xiaoe about Xu Damao's affairs.

As for whether Lou Xiao'e wants to meet Xu Damao, it is not Shen Zhiping's concern.
