Chapter 814 Researching New Machines
Gu Nan knew very well that only by thoroughly understanding this machine could he better control the production process and ensure the stable operation of the steel rolling mill.
Otherwise, if a problem arose with the machine and he couldn't fix it, it would not only affect production progress but could also negatively impact his position as deputy factory director. Although his position had improved, Gu Nan knew that his fundamental need to stay in the steel mill lay in his mastery and control of the machinery and equipment.
Gu Nan stood beside the new machine, surrounded by silence, the only sound being the gentle hum of its operation. With nothing else to do, he immersed himself in studying the new machine. After all, there was still much he didn't understand about it; its operating principles and performance characteristics needed further exploration. Gu Nan carefully examined each component of the machine, marveling at the advancement of technology as he gazed at this advanced piece of equipment. He secretly resolved to master this new machine as quickly as possible, so that it could contribute even more effectively to the factory's production.
Time passed quietly as Gu Nan focused on his research, and in the blink of an eye, the weekend arrived. The morning sun shone through the window, pouring into Gu Nan and Ran Qiuye's room. As Gu Nan put on his clothes, he looked at Ran Qiuye who was making her bed and said, "Qiuye, I'm going out for a drink today. I have an appointment with Deputy Director Li and the others."
Ran Qiuye stopped what he was doing, turned around, looked at Gu Nan with a worried look on his face, and said, "Gu Nan, let me tell you, this Deputy Director Li is not a good person. He asked you to drink, and he definitely has no good intentions. It's better not to go there today. What if something happens? What should we do? I'm really worried."
A confident smile appeared on Gu Nan's face. He gently held Ran Qiuye's hand and said softly, "Qiuye, don't worry. I'm such a grown-up and have been through so many things. How could I be fooled by others? Don't worry, I'm leaving now."
Ran Qiuye frowned slightly, her eyes full of worry. She nodded gently and warned, "Gu Nan, you must be careful outside. No matter what happens, you must tell me the first time."
Gu Nan knew that today's meeting with Deputy Director Li wouldn't be easy, and that the situation wouldn't be easily resolved. However, he didn't want to burden Ran Qiuye with unnecessary worry, so he kept his anxieties to himself. After all, if Ran Qiuye knew the complexity of the situation, she would undoubtedly be consumed with worry all day long.
Gu Nan straightened his clothes and headed to the hotel he had booked in advance. Along the way, his mind raced, thinking about various possible situations and how to deal with them.
When Gu Nan arrived at the hotel, Qin Huairu and Deputy Director Li were already waiting there. Deputy Director Li, with a seemingly enthusiastic smile on his face, turned to Qin Huairu and whispered, "Qin Huairu, hide for a while. After all, your relationship with Gu Nan isn't great right now. If he sees you, he'll probably become wary and ruin our plans. Do you understand?"
Qin Huairu nodded in understanding, knowing full well what she was about to do. The meal was just a pretext; the real challenge was to find a way to control Gu Nan and get evidence against him as planned. So, she tiptoed to the adjacent room and found a secluded spot to hide. She secretly calculated that if she could just wait for Gu Nan to get drunk, or find a way to drug him, her plan would go smoothly. Then, Deputy Director Li would have Gu Nan under his control, and her son's scoundrel situation would be resolved.
Gu Nan arrived at the hotel entrance as planned and immediately spotted Deputy Director Li. A smile immediately spread across his face, and he quickly walked over and said, "Brother Li, am I late? There was a bit of a traffic jam on the road. I'm so sorry."
Deputy Director Li quickly waved his hand, his smile growing even brighter as he said, "Brother Gu, what are you talking about? I came early, and you're just in time, not late at all. Between brothers, we shouldn't say such polite words."
Gu Nan smiled, looked around, and said, "Brother Li, let's go in. Standing outside and chatting is not very convenient, and it doesn't suit our status."
Afterwards, the two of them walked into the hotel and arrived at the reserved private room. Gu Nan was taken aback as he stepped inside. He looked around and saw that the room was luxuriously decorated, elegantly furnished, and the tables, chairs, and tableware were all exquisite. He hadn't expected Deputy Director Li to go to such great lengths to arrange such an unusual room. Gu Nan thought to himself, it seems Deputy Director Li had come to him prepared this time, and there must be some hidden agenda behind it.
Gu Nan calmly walked to the seat, sat down, looked at Deputy Director Li, and asked directly, "Brother Li, I wonder what you want to talk to me about today? You didn't explain yourself clearly at the steel mill. I've been thinking about it."
Deputy Director Li had a meaningful smile on his face, and there was a barely perceptible cunning glint in his eyes. He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Gu Nan and said, "Gu Nan, no, I should call you Deputy Director Gu now. Congratulations, this is a promotion. I asked you to come here today because I want to talk to you about some things about the steel rolling mill." Deputy Director Li's tone seemed enthusiastic, but in fact, there was a mystery hidden.
In fact, Gu Nan knew very well what Deputy Director Li was intending, but he decided to pretend that he knew nothing. With a hint of confusion on his face, he asked, "Deputy Director Li, I really don't understand what you mean. The steel mill has been operating normally. Is there anything special?" Gu Nan knew very well that in this situation, pretending to be stupid might help him better understand Deputy Director Li's trump card.
Deputy Director Li felt a little impatient at Gu Nan's "ignorance," but he couldn't get angry. After all, they were both feigning ignorance, so he could only go along with Gu Nan's lead. So, he frowned slightly and said, "Deputy Director Gu, you need to understand the current situation at the factory. Some things may appear calm on the surface, but undercurrents are surging." Deputy Director Li tried to hint at Gu Nan's complex situation.
Gu Nan nodded and said calmly, "We are all serving the country. Everything should be based on the national interests and the development of the factory. There is no need for so many twists and turns. Deputy Director Li, please stop playing games with me. Just say whatever you want to say." Gu Nan deliberately responded with a righteous attitude, making Deputy Director Li unable to understand his true thoughts.
