Pregnant and Pampered: The Heiress in a Military Compound

Everyone understood what Xie Changning meant: as the hosts, they would go first.

No one had any objections.

Whatever Xie Changning said, they did.

The team members began to demonstrate their skills one by one. As he watched, the light in Wang Changsheng’s eyes grew brighter and brighter.

He looked at Xie Changning in amazement. "They’re all such promising talents!"

If they were given proper R&D guidance, they could really go far!

Wang Changsheng knew this was the first test Xie Changning had given him since bringing him to the factory.

"But, their skills are quite good and their fundamentals are solid. However... it seems they’ve only been learning these techniques for a short while..." Wang Changsheng’s real strengths lay in design and theory.

He had seen how foreign technicians worked when he was abroad.

Even though their form was similar to technicians abroad and their skills were excellent, they still fell short when compared to some of their foreign counterparts.

Wang Changsheng voiced their shortcomings, pointing them out one by one.

Xie Changning nodded slightly. "Not bad. I didn’t expect researcher Wang to have such a keen eye."

Hearing Xie Changning’s words, the anxiety in Wang Changsheng’s heart eased. He knew he had passed the test.

If he had been hesitant and anxious when he first agreed to come with Xie Changning, now, Wang Changsheng was utterly impressed by her.

He no longer wanted to leave the Anong County Machinery Factory.

He had a feeling that here, he could reclaim his dream. He could... soar!

Xie Changning didn’t offer any further thoughts. She just nodded at Wang Changsheng. "After they’ve demonstrated their skills, you need to show them what you’ve got. Otherwise, they won’t respect you."

Among technicians, skill is what determines respect!

Wang Changsheng nodded. "I know."

His overall skills might not be on par with theirs, but he didn’t think he was without his own strengths. Especially when it came to soldering small circuit boards, his technique was arguably the best there, and his hands were the steadiest.

Wang Changsheng didn’t hold back. After the others had demonstrated their skills, he stepped forward.

"My skills in other areas might not be as good as yours, but I know a little bit about everything. My best skill is soldering circuit boards..." While speaking, Wang Changsheng put on his glasses and mask and began to solder the smallest circuit board for the group.

His movements weren’t fast, but they were very steady. The placement of the wiring was flawless; his positioning was incredibly precise.

A glimmer of satisfaction flashed in Xie Changning’s eyes.

’My sister really made a great recommendation!’

While Wang Changsheng worked, the other technicians watched intently. They saw that with every movement, there wasn’t the slightest error. The positioning was perfect. It was clear to everyone that this man’s skill was immense.

And indeed, with a brief touch of his small soldering iron, a connection was complete.

The speed was incredible, and the solder joint was exceptionally smooth and clean. The technicians couldn’t help but feel a pang of envy. The Factory Director had gone over this technique with them many times, but they had never mastered it.

’I can’t believe it. This researcher Wang is incredible!’

"I specialized in design abroad, so my fundamentals aren’t as solid as yours. You’ll have to forgive my crude skills."

"Wow! researcher Wang, you’re being way too modest!"

The technicians exclaimed.

Everyone agreed that Wang Changsheng’s skill was incredible; they were all completely won over.

This time, without any mediation from Xie Changning, they all acknowledged Wang Changsheng’s skill.

"Researcher Wang is a top student who has studied abroad," Xie Changning said, introducing him to the group. "If you study hard alongside him, you’ll be able to learn a great deal. To become a senior technician, skill alone isn’t enough. You also need a strong grasp of theory and design."

Wang Changsheng would be their mentor in these areas.

Hearing Xie Changning’s words, the way everyone looked at Wang Changsheng instantly filled with respect. They stopped calling him "researcher Wang" and started calling him "Mentor."

Wang Changsheng looked at Xie Changning in surprise.

"You are a researcher, yes, but you also have a duty to guide them. I don’t have time to teach them theory, so it’s up to you." A mischievous glint flashed in Xie Changning’s eyes as she spoke.

Wang Changsheng, however, had no objections.

These young people were eager to learn, and he didn’t mind teaching them everything he knew.

After settling Wang Changsheng’s duties, Xie Changning left the fifth workshop to find Wang Guofu and have him arrange for a dormitory room for Wang Changsheng.

Wang Guofu knew what had happened in the fifth workshop, and he couldn’t help his curiosity.

"Is this researcher Wang really that skilled?"

"Our staff is highly skilled when it comes to large components, but they have a weak spot with small, welded products. Wang Changsheng is the mentor I’ve brought in to shore up that weakness."

’My technicians can’t just stop here.’

’They need to advance into the laboratory, too. This is the first batch of top talent I’m cultivating for my factory!’

Hearing this, Wang Guofu nodded. "I understand. I’ll get it arranged."

There were no private dorm rooms available, but he could arrange for him to stay with a worker who had a small family.

If they were given a small stipend each month, they would be happy to do it.

Wang Guofu handled such matters with ease, so Xie Changning didn’t need to worry about it.

With all the factory matters arranged, Xie Changning went to her office to tackle the work that awaited her.

When she pushed open the door to her office and saw the towering stack of files, Xie Changning’s vision went dark. "Oh, dear. My head is suddenly starting to hurt. I think... I need a break..."

Before Xie Changning could finish, Wang Guofu, who had followed her, anticipating this exact move, gave her a push on the back.

"In you go!"

Then, Xie Changning heard the office door shut behind her.

Xie Changning was speechless. ’I was just saying... How could Uncle Wang be so merciless?’

’Seriously!’

’It’s not like I was actually going to run away, right?’

Xie Changning walked to the window and glanced at the distance to the ground below. In the end, she obediently sat down in her chair and started on the files.

These documents weren’t just from the machinery factory, but also from the household chemical plant and the wood products factory.

She was the director of three factories now, so some matters naturally required her personal attention.

’There was no escape, even if I wanted to.’

Xie Changning wearily wiped her face. "Forget it. This is the path I chose, and I have to walk it to the end, even if I have to crawl." With that, she resigned herself to her fate and started reading.

Wang Guofu, who had been secretly watching her, nodded in satisfaction when he saw that she had settled down to work. Only then did he turn to deal with his own tasks.

The work took up the entire day. By the time Xie Changning finished, the sky had already grown dark.

She stretched languidly, stood up with a yawn, and sighed, "What an exhausting day..."

With that, Xie Changning pulled open her office door and headed out.

When Xie Changning stepped out of the office building, she saw a group of people waiting for her by the entrance. Apparently, they were worried about her walking home alone at night and had gathered of their own accord to accompany her.
