Chapter 142: Too Gross!

The factory was building a helicopter for the first time, and even Chief Engineer Zhang couldn’t help but feel nervous.

Chief Engineer Zhang asked a question, but Lin Xiangnan didn’t want to answer. She looked up at the sky, pretending not to hear.

Everyone wanted an answer, a sense of security. Lin Xiangnan didn’t even have that herself, so what could she say?

“Xiao Lin~ Say something, Xiao Lin.” Chief Engineer Zhang turned to look at Lin Xiangnan.

“The weather is so nice today, not a cloud in the sky.” Lin Xiangnan answered irrelevantly.

Chief Engineer Zhang didn’t mind, and took the opportunity to chat with Lin Xiangnan, “We deliberately picked a good day for this.”

“Even if it’s a good day, there will be strong air currents at high altitudes.” Lin Xiangnan said.

As soon as she said that, Chief Engineer Zhang became nervous again, grumbling in disgust, “Why aren’t those people watching the show leaving? They’re so idle.”

Although it wasn’t about her, Lin Xiangnan still felt a little embarrassed, because Gu Zhenhua was one of those watching the show.

Today was the first test flight, and everyone’s confidence wasn’t that high. They didn’t dare invite so many people to watch.

Gu Zhenhua and his group of officers were all uninvited guests.

They were scattered in groups, chatting among themselves. No one mentioned leaving. They were determined to stay until the end to see the results, not at all considerate of Chief Engineer Zhang’s nervous mood.

After a while, when the whirring sound of the propeller came from the sky, Lin Xiangnan and the others finally felt relieved.

Chief Engineer Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling his soul return to his body. He started organizing personnel to inspect the cockpit and inquire about the test pilot’s condition.

“…I encountered a strong air current in the air, and the aircraft experienced an unexpected bump, but I stabilized it later…” The test pilot talked about the problems he encountered in the air.

A small problem was within Lin Xiangnan’s expectations. They would continue to make corrections later. As long as it could land safely, that would be the greatest success.

Seeing this result, Gu Zhenhua and Political Commissar Xu were also excited and cheered.

Gu Zhenhua wanted to share his joy with Lin Xiangnan, but he couldn’t even say a few words to her. He could only see Lin Xiangnan busy, holding a notebook in one hand and a pen in the other, constantly taking notes.

Chief Engineer Zhang kept saying, “Xiao Lin, write down this data… Xiao Lin, pay close attention to this component…”

At this crucial moment, Chief Engineer Zhang was most afraid of any omissions. He didn’t trust anyone else.

Lin Xiangnan had just been worried about the test pilot’s safety, and now she was most focused on her work. Wherever Chief Engineer Zhang pointed, she followed.

Even when Gu Zhenhua left, she just waved her hand and continued working on her own.

At home, Gu Zhenhua had never been treated like this. When he left, he was a little down.

But his comrades were all excited, chattering non-stop on the way back.

“It actually flew! Awesome! Chief Engineer Zhang and his team are amazing.”

“I knew Chief Engineer Zhang was amazing. I didn’t know Xiao Lin was so good. Old Gu can really keep secrets, he didn’t leak anything.”

Gu Zhenhua’s shoulders were slapped several times, almost making them uneven.

“Easy! You’re going to break my arm.”

Gu Zhenhua kicked the person next to him twice and scolded, “Xiao Lin’s work has confidentiality regulations. She never talks about work at home. How could I know anything?”

“You don’t know, but you can’t just talk nonsense. You told us that Xiao Lin didn’t have a job after graduating from high school. Then she became a technical backbone at the 132 Factory.”

“That’s right. Look at Chief Engineer Zhang’s attitude towards her, you know she’s no ordinary person.”

Gu Zhenhua was proud and unconsciously straightened his chest, boasting, “Our Xiao Lin is really amazing. She won the Labor Model Award this year.”

“Everyone knows that. The factory even beat drums and gongs, and they came to visit.”

While everyone was praising Lin Xiangnan, Captain Wang remained silent, feeling a little sour inside.

Seeing Gu Zhenhua’s smug expression, Captain Wang said, “You married such an amazing wife, you’re going to suffer in the future. You’re not going to be the head of the family anymore.”

“Our family has always been ruled by Xiao Lin. She has a higher education than me, and she’s smarter than me. She’s the one at the helm, our family can only prosper.”

Gu Zhenhua couldn’t hide the smile on his lips, and he couldn’t help but brag, “Besides, Xiao Lin has no other flaws, she’s just too good to me, it makes me feel uncomfortable.”

“Huh?” Captain Wang widened his eyes, “Too good to you means she makes you wash clothes, cook, sweep the floor, and take care of the children?”

Anyway, he wasn’t willing to do these things. Every time he saw Gu Zhenhua doing chores, he couldn’t help but sneer.

Gu Zhenhua looked at him with disdain, “You don’t understand. Your thinking is a bit outdated…”

Seeing that they were about to argue again over this, Political Commissar Xu quickly changed the subject.

“I wonder when we’ll be able to equip ourselves with this helicopter.”

Gu Zhenhua was immediately drawn in, saying, “The requirements for the pilots are a bit high.”

“With new equipment, we have to learn new things and study new tactics.”

“I wonder when the next military exercise will be, I hope the leaders will arrange it soon.”

While everyone was thinking about how to improve, Gu Zhenhua couldn’t help but chuckle.

He could ask Lin Xiangnan to secretly tutor him at home. When it came to this new equipment, no one knew as much as Lin Xiangnan from the technical department.

After spending half a year on a project, building a helicopter from scratch, even a fool could say something, let alone someone as smart as Lin Xiangnan.

Gu Zhenhua and his group of onlookers left, but Lin Xiangnan and the others were still busy.

Lin Xiangnan was responsible for recording all the data from the scene, then categorizing it. In the afternoon meeting, Chief Engineer Zhang assigned tasks to individuals, and Lin Xiangnan returned to her relaxed state.

Although the test pilot encountered some minor problems in the air, the test flight was successful overall. At least it successfully took off and landed.

Lin Xiangnan couldn’t help but hum a tune on her way home from work.

She finally wouldn’t have to have those absurd dreams at night, just thinking about it made her feel relieved.

But when Lin Xiangnan passed by the small grove, she saw Jin Baoguang sitting on the edge of the flower bed again, his familiar back.

His back was twitching, making Lin Xiangnan suspicious. Could Jin Baoguang be crying again?

She said the pressure was too much, and someone would go crazy.

Lin Xiangnan silently approached, and before she could speak, she heard Jin Baoguang sniffling.

Jin Baoguang first wiped his nose with a handkerchief, then folded it and wiped his tears, then wiped his nose again after wiping his tears.

“Engineer Jin, you’re too gross.” Lin Xiangnan couldn’t help but complain.
