Lin Xu hadn't expected that the final 10% blank space he left could be solved so effortlessly by Xu Jin.
But then again.
Most of the content was already complete, and the last section rely consisted of so concluding steps.
Based on the core content that ca before, anyone with materials science experience could likely deduce the final steps with ease.
It wasn't surprising that Xu Jin could solve it - if he couldn't, that would have been an insult to his dignity as the inventor of these two processes in another parallel world.
This worked out well!
It saved Lin Xu another trip into Bracelet World. Tonight when he entered again, he could focus entirely on finding Bai Mo and uncovering the truth about the Zhurong rover.
Speaking of Bai Mo!
Lin Xu checked the ti - it was already 12:30 PM.
After lunch and a short break, it would be ti for the interview.
Lin Xu quickly found Xu Jin, who had finished analyzing the process docunts but remained utterly engrossed with the equipnt. When asked, Xu Jin showed no interest in eating lunch.
He seed ready to camp out right there, waiting to start work the mont the equipnt arrived!
Lin Xu couldn't persuade him - people with Asperger's could sotis be unbelievably stubborn.
Left with no choice, Lin Xu pulled out the contract, threatening to cancel future cooperation if Xu Jin didn't co with him.
Only after this mix of coaxing and threats did Xu Jin finally tear his reluctant gaze away and follow Lin Xu out of the factory.
"Boss when can we co back tomorrow can I co this afternoon?"
"Don't worry I won't cause trouble I just want to watch!"
"I need to familiarize myself with the equipnt so when it's installed the day after tomorrow I can start using it imdiately!"
"Not the day after tomorrow."
Lin Xu corrected:
"It's the day after that - installation won't be complete until then."
"It is the day after! I asked them and they said before 11:50 PM the day after tomorrow everything will be installed and we can start working right away!"
"...Look what you've driven them to..."
Lin Xu sighed as he looked at Xu Jin.
11:50 PM!
Down to the exact minute!
There was no way he could let Xu Jin stay in the factory any longer - that would definitely lead to trouble.
"Listen to - I've already given you the materials. Take them back with you first."
"After you take them back, study them thoroughly. Spend two days mastering the entire process."
"I don't an just reading through it - you need to be proficient, to fully comprehend it, to..."
"I've already fully comprehended it!"
Xu Jin said with complete seriousness:
"Boss I'm ready I can start work now!"
"Not enough!"
Lin Xu stated firmly:
"Right now you just think you're ready, but you're far from it!"
"Do as I say, or we won't cooperate!"
"Alright..."
Xu Jin didn't argue further, simply nodding obediently.
He remained quite compliant with Lin Xu's instructions.
Perhaps in his eyes, Lin Xu was that heaven-sent genius who not only effortlessly solved problems that had stumped him for so long, but also provided a path toward his "ultimate goal"?
Even with Asperger's, he could recognize who held real authority.
After seeing Xu Jin into a car, Xu Jin kept looking back at the factory even as the car drove away.
But his next visit would have to wait at least two days.
Hopefully in two days, he'd bring so pleasant surprises...
After seeing off Xu Jin, Lin Xu had a quick al near the chemical fiber factory before taking a car back to Tianqiong Technology.
When he returned, most employees were on lunch break, but Lin Xu imdiately noticed a young woman sitting on the sofa in the reception area.
She wasn't particularly beautiful.
Short bob-cut hair, light makeup neatly applied.
Even seated on the soft sofa, her posture remained perfectly straight, her bearing impeccable, with a faint air of spirited determination between her brows.
Lin Xu instantly recognized who she was.
Bai Mo.
Without wasting ti, he walked straight over and asked:
"You're Bai Mo?"
The young woman looked up at Lin Xu, then stood and extended her hand.
"Yes, I'm Bai Mo."
"Director Lin, pleased to et you."
"You're younger than I imagined."
"You know ?"
Lin Xu asked, slightly surprised.
"No, this is our first eting."
"But I've already communicated with Director Jiang beforehand and understand the position well."
"I heard I'm replacing a flight control engineer, and since you recognized , I guessed it must be you."
Good.
Perceptive, capable, intelligent.
These qualities truly matched soone with astronaut potential.
"Good..."
Lin Xu nodded.
"Why so early? It's barely past one."
"Our interview was scheduled for two PM, right?"
"I originally planned to explore the area first, to familiarize myself with the work environnt."
Bai Mo replied with a smile:
"But after looking around, I found the surroundings rather... basic."
"My rental agent's schedule didn't match up."
"So I ca straight to the office - might as well use this ti to search for rental information."
"You're quite confident about this interview."
Lin Xu studied Bai Mo curiously before continuing:
"Certain of success?"
"Mutual selection."
Bai Mo responded:
"I can't see any reason you wouldn't hire - I'm essentially the best candidate currently available on the market."
"Additionally, what your company can offer ets my expectations."
"So the outco is practically decided already."
"Especially after eting you, I'm even more certain this interview will go smoothly."
"A young leader like you probably wouldn't reject over value alignnt issues - we'll likely just discuss so lifestyle matters."
"As for the final, non-technical executive interview... that's usually just a formality."
Quite assertive.
Lin Xu sized up Bai Mo.
Soone like this would never pass if Chen Yan conducted the interview.
But Lin Xu actually appreciated this direct communication style - even setting aside Bai Mo's crucial future role, he'd want to hire her.
Thinking this, he said:
"That's about right."
"For housing, you can discuss with Team Leader Jiang later."
"Most young employees at our company - those who haven't bought property - live in an apartnt complex on East Xianlin Road."
"The environnt there is decent, with good anities nearby."
"There's a shuttle bus for commutes, though with this position's salary, you could easily afford daily rideshares if preferred."
"Well, since you're already here, no need to wait until two."
"Co to my office - I'll call Team Leader Jiang over, and we can wrap this up."
"Certainly."
Bai Mo followed closely behind Lin Xu into the office. When she saw the floor-to-ceiling windows and the conspicuously lavish office space, a flicker of surprise finally appeared in her eyes.
This...
Flight control engineers get this treatnt at Tianqiong Technology??
Wait, this Director Lin must have been promoted.
Otherwise, they wouldn't suddenly be hiring his replacent.
Noticing Bai Mo's thoughtful expression, Lin Xu gestured for her to sit on the sofa while he called Jiang Xingye, who was still on lunch break.
While waiting for Jiang Xingye to get ready, now was the perfect ti to ask a crucial question.
Lin Xu looked at Bai Mo across from him and cleared his throat.
Then he began:
"Let's start now."
"First question."
"Why do you want to join Tianqiong Technology?"
"No canned responses."
"I want the real reason!"
