319: Meeting on the road to perfection

Tong Mingzhu looked at her daughter and future son-in-law, feeling delighted. "Alright, Mom is going back to the room. Tongtong, after you study for an hour or two, go back to your room and rest."

"Got it. Tomorrow, I'm also going to Langfang Fine Carving with Dad to take a look," Hong Tongtong replied cheerfully.

Tong Mingzhu was a smart person and immediately guessed her daughter's meaning. "Okay, you two go to Langfang Fine Carving together tomorrow. I'll cook at home and wait for you to come back and eat."

"No need. The food at Langfang Fine Carving's cafeteria is also particularly delicious. You should rest well tomorrow morning and don't worry about us," Hong Tongtong said.

"It seems you've eaten at the cafeterias of several of Xiaolin's companies. Even Mom's cooking isn't appealing anymore?" Tong Mingzhu said, pretending to be disappointed.

"Oh, I was just worried Mom would get tired!" Hong Tongtong said while eating grapes.

"Such a sweet talker. Alright, Mom is going back to the room." Tong Mingzhu said with a chiding smile and left.

...

The next day, Liu Xiaolin woke up early and called Li Zhaolong and the others to say he wouldn't be going to the company today.

After breakfast, he took Hong Youli and Hong Tongtong to Langfang Fine Carving.

They arrived at their destination before nine o'clock.

Lai Junying had arrived early in the morning. He brought Sang Yiyun and the workers who volunteered to stay in the Jingdiao Processing Workshop to clean the Jingdiao Processing Workshop inside and out, making it spotless. Then, he waited for Liu Xiaolin and the others at the entrance.

Seeing Liu Xiaolin's black flying car from afar, he immediately brought Sang Yiyun and jogged over.

"General Manager Liu, Tongtong, you arrived quite early," Lai Junying said with a smile, greeting Liu Xiaolin and the group who had just gotten out of the car.

"General Manager Lai, let me introduce you. This is Tongtong's Dad, General Manager Hong," Liu Xiaolin said, introducing him to Lai Junying, who had walked up to them.

"Oh, General Manager Hong, I've heard so much about you! Our Deli Air Conditioning is world-famous, truly remarkable," Lai Junying said, quickly shaking hands with Hong Youli and exchanging greetings.

"Not at all, it's everyone's effort, and also thanks to the support of our peers," Hong Youli said humbly.

"Hello, General Manager Lai. I came specifically today to thank you for saving me. If it weren't for you, I might still be sleeping all day," Hong Tongtong said with a grin.

"Hello, Tongtong. You've said thank you many times already, no need to say it again, haha," Lai Junying said kindly.

When Hong Youli heard Hong Tongtong say that Lai Junying had cured her external illness, he immediately developed a great liking for him.

"Oh, thank you, General Manager Lai, for curing my daughter's illness. Thank you." Lai Junying, of course, also expressed heartfelt thanks.

"It was just a small effort, no need to be so polite." Seeing that Sang Yiyun beside him couldn't get a word in, Lai Junying quickly introduced, "General Manager Hong, allow me to introduce you. This is Sang Yiyun, the Minister of our company's Production Department. He is in charge of the Jingdiao Processing Workshop and is a fine carving master with over twenty years of experience."

"Minister Sang, hello, hello." Hong Youli shook Sang Yiyun's hand and greeted him warmly.

"Hello, General Manager Hong. On behalf of all the staff in the Jingdiao Processing Workshop, I welcome your visit," Sang Yiyun said enthusiastically.

"Alright, let's go take a look at the Jingdiao Processing Workshop," Liu Xiaolin suggested.

"Okay, this way." Sang Yiyun immediately led the way for everyone, heading towards the Jingdiao Processing Workshop.

Soon they arrived at the Jingdiao Processing Workshop. The area was very large, and various equipment was neatly arranged here, including lathes, milling machines, boring machines, grinding machines, carving and milling machines. The most numerous were fine carving machines of various models and styles.

"To meet customers' precision requirements and to process materials of different textures, our company has purchased fine carving machines suitable for all materials, including metal, plastic products, glass products, and so on. Therefore, I can say that the only fine carving machines we don't have are those that haven't been developed yet; we have all the others," Sang Yiyun said proudly.

Hong Youli immediately became very interested upon hearing this introduction. "Since your fine carving machines are so complete, why isn't there much work? This shouldn't be the case."

Sang Yiyun was hit where it hurt. "The current fine carving processing market is mixed, with good and bad. Many small businesses have also bought fine carving machines. Their craftsmanship isn't superb, but their processing fees are very low, and they are very flexible in taking on jobs in the market, unlike us, where we need to have all the flow charts ready before we can start processing when signing a contract. This has caused us to lose many customers."

"Your rigorous approach is very good. Why would anyone think this isn't good?" Hong Youli was very puzzled.

"The market changes too quickly. People gradually feel that fast is good, so they blindly pursue speed and forget that the original intention should be to pursue perfection," Lai Junying said with a sigh.

"That's right. Our Langfang Fine Carving is such an excellent company, yet it's being worn down and defeated by those small companies that produce shoddy goods. It's terrible," Hong Tongtong said discontentedly. "Isn't this a classic case of bad money driving out good?"

"Yes, that's why we stick to our principles. We hope that one day the market will realize that excessively pursuing speed is wrong, and pursuing perfection is the most correct path," Sang Yiyun said with certainty.

"Yes, I think General Manager Hong's visit today is an affirmation of our Langfang Fine Carving's pursuit of perfection," Lai Junying said excitedly.

"It's not my affirmation of you; it's heroes appreciating heroes," Hong Youli said with a smile. "Our Deli Air Conditioning has also been running on the path of pursuing perfection, which is why we are fortunate enough to meet you."

In recent years, whenever Lai Junying talked about pursuing perfection, he was always scoffed at by the clients who rejected him. He never expected to meet Hong Youli today and hear him say that they met on the path of pursuing perfection. He was so excited that he couldn't speak. He choked up several times before finally saying, "Thank you so much for your affirmation of us."

"If we can cooperate with Deli Air Conditioning, we will definitely repay you with perfect products." Sang Yiyun was also very excited. Who wouldn't be thrilled to be recognized during such difficult times?

"Don't rush. I still need to see your workshop first before making a decision," Hong Youli remained very cautious.

Although he was very grateful to Lai Junying for saving his daughter and agreed with their work style of pursuing perfection, it was impossible to casually agree to anything without seeing their actual capabilities.

"This is also my first time visiting the Jingdiao Processing Workshop. It's a good opportunity to take a look with everyone and learn," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.

"Haha, General Manager Liu has only been focused on the Chip Production Workshop and hasn't been to our Jingdiao Processing Workshop yet," Sang Yiyun said with a smile. "Let's go, I'll show you around."

Saying this, he led them to a row of spotlessly clean fine carving machines and said, "This row of fine carving machines is specifically for processing plastic products."
