Chapter 187 Selection of Personnel to the Canton Fair
Lin Wufeng squatted down beside Song Ying. "Song Ying, you have to make sure you explain things clearly to the Bodhisattva. What we mean is that Dongzhe should get into No. 1 High School so he can continue to be classmates with Xiaoting. Don't get it backwards, don't let the Bodhisattva misunderstand and think that Xiaoting and Dongzhe should go back to the affiliated high school. Don't let it drag down Xiaoting's score."
Song Ying, who was still lost in her own thoughts, suddenly widened her eyes upon hearing this, realized what was going on, and nodded hastily.
"That's right, look at my brain, I should ask all the bodhisattvas to bless Dongzhe so he can get into the top high school. Maybe one of the bodhisattvas will grant his wish and it will all be done."
The next morning, Huang Ling, Song Ying, and Zhang Amei went out together.
We went together to Xishan Temple, a temple that is usually very popular with worshippers.
Upon arriving at the temple, amidst the rising smoke of incense, they knelt devoutly on prayer cushions, clasped their hands together, and poured out their heartfelt wishes to the Bodhisattva, hoping that the Bodhisattva could hear their voices.

Two days later, Director An came to see Lin Wufeng again.
In the past, Director An only assigned Lin to be a key technical staff member, responsible for the factory's technical affairs.
Since they went to Wenzhou together, they had more opportunities to communicate in depth during that trip, and their relationship became much closer. They ate, drank, and did everything together, and even got bitten by fleas in the hotel. Their friendship as men was further enhanced.
Now, in Director An's mind, Engineer Lin is not only highly skilled, but his ability to handle various practical problems has also impressed him.
This time, Suzhou is organizing foreign trade activities, and it is the first time that it has organized township enterprises to participate in the Canton Fair. The refrigerator factory where Director An works is very fortunate to have obtained this rare opportunity.
Factory Director An was both excited and apprehensive. He was excited because this was a great opportunity for the factory to reach a wider market, but apprehensive because he was not fluent in hawks.
He decided to cram at the last minute, finding various hawk language learning materials and simply learning some hawk language expressions that he would use in daily life. He also carefully wrote down the hawk language terms for some key data parameters of the factory's products in a notebook.
Whenever he had free time, he would take out this notebook and repeatedly look through it and memorize it. In this way, through his efforts, he managed to memorize some commonly used hawk language.
When Director An arrived at Lin Wufeng's home, he sat down and told Lin all his thoughts at once.
He emphasized the importance of this Canton Fair and hoped that Engineer Lin could accompany him and provide technical support.
However, Lin Wufeng seemed hesitant after hearing this, stammering without giving a clear answer.
Upon seeing this, Director An immediately understood. He knew that Engineer Lin valued and was very attached to his secure job, and such a trip might cause him some concerns.
"Mr. Lin, I'm going to the Canton Fair in a month. If you've made up your mind before then, feel free to call me anytime. I know this might be a bit of a dilemma for you, so take your time to think it over. I'll be waiting for your reply."
After finishing speaking, Director An patted Lin Wufeng on the shoulder, then got up and left, leaving Lin Wufeng alone in the room lost in thought.

In the office of the chief engineer at the compressor factory.
Chief Engineer Zhou was holding a piece of paper in his hand, his brows furrowed, his mind racing with thoughts.
Previously, Chief Engineer Zhou had subtly probed Lin Wufeng's intentions, thinking that he would not apply for the senior engineer position, since it would require a lot of time and effort and the competition would be extremely fierce.
Unexpectedly, Lin Wufeng still signed up.
What surprised Chief Engineer Zhou even more was that after returning from the Spring Festival, Lin Wufeng signed up and published two papers in less than two months, actually obtaining the title of senior engineer.
Lin Wufeng is highly educated, young, and technically skilled, so his future prospects in the factory are very bright.
Chief Engineer Zhou was worried. The deputy factory director was about to retire, and the position would definitely become vacant. The higher-ups had always preferred to promote young and promising comrades, and Lin Wufeng was undoubtedly a very competitive candidate.
I'm getting old, and I can't compare to Lin Wufeng in terms of skills, physical condition, or education. If I lose this opportunity to be promoted to deputy factory director, I'm afraid I'll be stuck in my current position until retirement, with no chance of further advancement.
However, Chief Engineer Zhou also knew that Lin Wufeng had been learning and growing under his guidance since the first day he joined the factory, and they had developed a deep bond over the years.
Chief Engineer Zhou was caught in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.
Just then, a knocking sound suddenly rang out on the door.
The door opened, and a young technician said, "Chief Engineer Zhou, the leadership wants the technical department to come over for a meeting!"
Chief Engineer Zhou was startled by the sudden voice; his hand trembled involuntarily, and he quickly put the note back into his pocket. "Understood!"
He responded, gathered his thoughts, and got up to go to the conference room.
Technicians and engineers from all the technical departments arrived at the conference room one after another and took their seats.
They were talking in hushed tones.
A short while later, the factory manager walked up to the podium and began to tell them about his trip to the Canton Fair.
The factory manager gave a detailed introduction to the scale of this Canton Fair and its important significance for the factory's future development.
As a large state-owned factory, the compressor factory where they worked was qualified to participate in the Canton Fair.
The main purpose of this meeting was to select the personnel to go to the Canton Fair together.
In the compressor factory's conference room, after the factory director finished explaining the relevant matters of the Canton Fair, everyone stood up one after another, whispering among themselves as they left the conference room.
The factory manager specially kept Chief Engineer Zhou on the job.
"Chief Engineer Zhou, have you thought of anyone to go to the Canton Fair with?"
Chief Engineer Zhou felt a sudden tightness in his chest, and the image of Lin Wufeng instantly flashed into his mind.
He was Lin Wufeng's mentor, and he knew Lin Wufeng's abilities better than anyone. If Lin Wufeng went to the Canton Fair, with his skills, he would likely secure a large number of orders, which would undoubtedly make Lin Wufeng's position in the factory more secure, and make his own hopes of being promoted to deputy factory director even more remote.
Chief Engineer Zhou tried to make his tone sound natural, as if he were seriously considering the factory's interests. "Factory Manager, I think Engineer Liu and Engineer Zhao are both experienced senior engineers who know our factory's compressors very well. Let them come with me."
The factory manager frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. Was Lin Wufeng a key technical worker in the factory or his apprentice? Why didn't Chief Engineer Zhou mention it this time?
"Lin's skills are solid, why not consider having him come along?"
"Factory manager, Engineer Lin still has work to do and can't leave."
Chief Engineer Zhou spoke with absolute certainty, but in reality, he knew that Lin Wufeng's current work was not unassignable.
The factory manager was silent for a moment, then finally nodded. "Then we'll do as Chief Engineer Zhou says. You can set off in a few days and hand over your work properly."
