Chapter 141: Seeking Security

“Xiao Lin, is your foot alright?” Chief Engineer Zhang asked gently.

Lin Xiangnan stomped her foot, turned her ankle, and replied, “I’m fine.”

Besides the colleagues from their department, there were also a group of familiar leaders from the family courtyard. Lin Xiangnan pulled Gu Zhenhua back a couple of steps, giving Chief Engineer Zhang the spotlight.

After confirming that Lin Xiangnan was alright, Chief Engineer Zhang turned to the leader beside him and introduced the helicopter.

Chief Engineer Zhang was busy entertaining the leader, so Jin Baoguang wasn’t busy either. He approached Lin Xiangnan and asked, “Is your foot alright? You scared me just now.”

“Really fine.” Lin Xiangnan replied helplessly.

“Don’t be stubborn. If you’re hurt, make sure to rest properly.” Jin Baoguang expressed his concern before quickly following Chief Engineer Zhang.

As soon as Jin Baoguang left, Sun Yi rushed over to make amends, “Are you really alright? I just didn’t see you, otherwise I would have helped you. It’s all my fault.”

“It’s alright, really alright.” Lin Xiangnan reiterated.

Sun Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

He wanted to say something else, to express his concern, but Lao Zhou came running over again.

“Xiao Lin…”

Lin Xiangnan smiled, “No need to ask again, my foot is fine!”

“That’s good.”

It was well-known in their department that Lin Xiangnan couldn’t stand criticism but loved compliments.

Moreover, this joint project involved technical talents from multiple factories. Not only their factory, but people from other factories also knew Lin Xiangnan’s personality.

Everyone was trying to win Lin Xiangnan’s favor, hoping to occasionally borrow her as a cheat sheet.

After all, who wouldn’t love the efficiency of Lin Xiangnan being able to save several people a day’s work by working an extra hour?

Except for those who weren’t in the office, all the technicians present came to express their concern for Lin Xiangnan.

Even Gu Zhenhua was unconsciously pushed to the side.

Gu Zhenhua couldn’t believe it. He looked at Lin Xiangnan in the crowd, then turned to see Captain Wang and Xu Zhengwei’s even more incredulous expressions.

“Xiao Lin… isn’t she just a regular technician?” Captain Wang said curiously, “This scene doesn’t seem right.”

Captain Wang couldn’t figure it out, his face scrunched up in confusion.

This wasn’t the treatment he imagined for Lin Xiangnan. He thought that an employee who rarely came to work would be ostracized by colleagues, but she was actually so highly regarded.

At the family courtyard, they only saw Lin Xiangnan and Hua Dalian eating and having fun. This was the first time they saw Lin Xiangnan at the work site.

Xu Zhengwei suddenly understood, “I said, why does my mother get along so well with Xiao Lin. It turns out Xiao Lin’s skills are no worse than my mother when she was young.”

“How come all the good things happen to Gu Zhenhua.” Captain Wang’s tone couldn’t help but turn sour.

He was older than Gu Zhenhua in terms of seniority, but he was outdone in every way.

Gu Zhenhua didn’t say anything, just stood there proudly. After everyone finished showering Lin Xiangnan with compliments, he returned to her side.

Seeing him, Lin Xiangnan said, “Stop asking about my foot. Let’s go see the helicopter.”

With her words, Gu Zhenhua and the others were quickly diverted.

This helicopter wasn’t a finished product yet. There were no journalists taking pictures or any ceremonies, so everyone was very casual.

Even Gu Zhenhua took a moment to touch the helicopter, and he looked happy after touching it.

“What’s so good about touching this? It’s just a layer of iron on the outside, doesn’t it all feel the same?” Lin Xiangnan asked curiously.

“It’s different. I’ve never touched a helicopter before.” Gu Zhenhua was excited.

It wasn’t just Gu Zhenhua, Xu Zhengwei and Captain Wang were also very excited. They touched a piece of iron, but it felt like they were touching gold bars. Their expressions were quite suggestive.

Lin Xiangnan shook her head, not wanting to look anymore. She tugged at Gu Zhenhua’s sleeve and asked, “This is the first test flight, why are you all here?”

“We’ve been watching you guys work for half a year, and finally, you’ve achieved results. We all want to see the excitement. I didn’t expect to see you here either.”

Both units were very close and often collaborated, so the leaders on both sides were very familiar with each other. They could get straight to the point without any formalities.

Looking at the test pilot sitting in the cockpit, Gu Zhenhua excitedly said, “If your factory can build helicopters, we’ll definitely have more helicopter detachments here.”

The convenience of being next to the factory was right here.

Whenever there were new weapons, Gu Zhenhua and the others could use them quickly, similar to high-tech troops in the future.

The helicopter hadn’t even successfully test flown yet, and Gu Zhenhua and the others were already looking forward to a helicopter detachment.

Lin Xiangnan glanced at him, pressed his hand, and said, “Don’t talk, I’m a little nervous.”

Those who didn’t understand were full of confidence in their department.

But the staff who were actually involved were all anxious, including Lin Xiangnan.

Even the strongest team couldn’t come up with a perfect result right away.

The weapons previously researched and designed by the factory were all modified after feedback from Gu Zhenhua and the others.

But those guns, cannons, etc., their safety could still be controlled. However, this helicopter, if something went wrong, it could be catastrophic.

The helicopter successfully took off, but it wasn’t over yet. They had to wait for the pilot to land safely for the test flight to be considered successful.

During this time, they could only wait anxiously on the ground.

“Xiao Lin, you’ve checked all the data before takeoff, right? You’re sure there’s no problem?”

Sun Yi was also nervous. He didn’t care that Gu Zhenhua was nearby, he had to be a third wheel.

“You’ve checked this data so many times, why are you still asking?” Lin Xiangnan replied helplessly.

Sun Yi said without hesitation, “It’s different. Our brains are different. Your answer can give me more security.”

But Lin Xiangnan was also nervous at this moment, she didn’t have the energy to give Sun Yi psychological counseling, so she pushed him away, “Don’t bother me, go ask Master Li.”

Sun Yi shook his head, “Forget it. Master Li’s fists are clenched so tightly. I’m afraid he’ll punch me hard, and I can’t handle it.”

It could only be said that everyone present was nervous, but they expressed it differently.

Lin Xiangnan was nervous and didn’t want to talk. But Sun Yi was nervous and couldn’t help but babble.

“You said how about this test flight subject arrangement…”

Lin Xiangnan didn’t answer him, she just silently walked behind Chief Engineer Zhang, and Sun Yi immediately shut up and became quiet.

Seeing this, Lin Xiangnan silently curled the corner of her lips.

But soon, Chief Engineer Zhang asked her, “Xiao Lin, you’ve checked all the data before takeoff, right? You’re sure there’s no problem?”

Lin Xiangnan couldn’t hold it anymore, why was everyone looking for security from her?
