73: Carrying the sun and the moon on our shoulders

“Today's efficiency has increased significantly, with 405 finished products and an equivalent output of 52 semi-finished products, totaling 457 units. This change in process is really great,” Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.

“Yes, with just one workshop, we can achieve such high efficiency. If orders increase in the future, adding a few more workshops will make production soar,” Zhao Rui was very optimistic about the future of Jiangnan Machinery Factory.

“That's right, in the future, we can't just focus on automobile engines. We can also venture into marine and aircraft engines,” Liu Xiaolin's courage grew, and so did his ambition.

“Good heavens, General Manager Liu, you really dare to think big. Can we really get the technology for those engines?” Zhao Rui couldn't believe it.

“Why not? Didn't we get the technical parameters for the 1.0t engine this time? Moreover, once our Jiangnan Machinery Factory develops well, we will increase investment in scientific research, using thirty percent of the profit for scientific research to develop new technologies and manufacture new products,” Liu Xiaolin said ambitiously.

“General Manager Liu, that's a huge undertaking!” Zhao Rui also got excited by the talk: “If we can really have such high R&D expenditure, then our future potential will be immense.”

“So, work hard. When our Jiangnan Machinery Factory grows bigger and stronger, you will be a founding member. By then, you'll have the capital to pursue my Senior Apprentice Sister,” Liu Xiaolin drifted back to the original topic as he spoke.

“Look at you, I have the capital to pursue her even now,” Zhao Rui said discontentedly.

“I was wrong, I shouldn't look down on our high-achieving graduate from a prestigious university. I'm sorry, you and my Senior Apprentice Sister are a perfect match, I'm rooting for you!” Liu Xiaolin said cheekily.

“Speaking of which, Dong Yuhui graduated with a master's degree, and I only have a bachelor's degree. It seems I'm a tiny bit behind. It looks like I need to pursue a part-time master's degree, work hard to keep up with her pace, and strive to catch up to her,” Zhao Rui said firmly.

“Alright, you're home. Go home and take your time pursuing her!” Liu Xiaolin stepped on the brake, stopping the car steadily at the entrance of Zhao Rui's residential area, and said with a smile.

“Thank you, General Manager Liu, I'll head back now. Would you like to come to my place for dinner? My Mom is a great cook,” Zhao Rui was very happy today.

“Not going, my Mom has also prepared dinner at home and is waiting for me. Hurry home, and please give my regards to Uncle and Auntie for me. I just remembered, tomorrow is the weekend, get a good day's rest at home. You can contact my Senior Apprentice Sister about the inspection on Monday,” Liu Xiaolin declined. 33 Novel Network

“Then be careful on your way,” Zhao Rui waved goodbye, turned around, and left.

Liu Xiaolin also arrived home quickly.

It was already past six o'clock at this moment.

Hao Xiuhua was used to her son leaving early and returning late, and Liu Xiaolin was also used to reporting his whereabouts to his Mom at any time.

During dinner, Liu Xiaolin chatted with his Mom about the smooth acquisition of “New Hope Packaging Co., Ltd.” today, and suddenly remembered that the new equipment gifted by the Strongest Manufacturing System hadn't been placed yet, and today's points task hadn't been completed either.

He quickly shoveled the last bite of rice in his bowl into his mouth, and while chewing, said, “Mom, I'm tired today, I'll go rest for a while, so I won't help you clean up.”

Liu Xiaoman smiled and said, “Who in this family expects you to do chores? Go and rest quickly, I'll help Mom clean up later.”

Hao Xiuhua was very comforted seeing her daughter being so considerate.

“My sister is awesome!” Liu Xiaolin praised after swallowing the food in his mouth.

He now deeply understood that although praise doesn't cost money, it plays a bigger role than spending money.

So, he gave praise anytime, anywhere, and everyone was happy.

Returning to his room, Liu Xiaolin silently chanted “Activate Strongest Manufacturing,” and the transparent interface appeared.

“Ding dong, detecting host is online. May I ask, do you need to upgrade voice dialogue? Press 1 for yes, press 2 for no.”

Liu Xiaolin thought that being able to have direct voice dialogue was great, so he pressed 1 without hesitation.

“Ding dong, system upgrade is complete. You can now have direct voice dialogue with the Strongest Manufacturing System.”

“Got it. Strongest Manufacturing, I want to retrieve goods,” Liu Xiaolin said aloud.

“Ding dong, does the host want to retrieve the production line gifted yesterday? May I ask for the delivery address?”

“Huaao City, New Hope Packaging Co., Ltd. workshop.”

“Okay, received. Delivery will start immediately.”

“Ding dong, hello host, your goods have been delivered. Do you need to view remotely?”

“Of course. Let me see how the new production line is.”

After Liu Xiaolin finished speaking, the transparent interface displayed the scene of the New Hope workshop. The brand new production line was neatly placed on the right side of the workshop, forming a stark contrast with the old production line on the left.

“Ding dong, the new equipment has been installed. Formal production can begin according to the operation instructions. Operation instructions and training manuals have been delivered with the equipment.”

“Got it, thank you! Also, I need to complete today's points task, please switch to the points task interface.” Liu Xiaolin moved from one task to another.

Checking in, equipment inspection, workshop hygiene, and production reporting – these tasks were completed remotely in one go, earning him the points.

Liu Xiaolin let out a long sigh of relief: “Task completed, exit system.”

“Okay, system exiting.”

“This system is getting better and better after the upgrade, yay!” Liu Xiaolin smiled contentedly.
