He Yao's words may not have moved others, but they certainly moved Xu Zheng.
Xu Zheng was extremely, extremely, extremely serious about this bid.
Whether he could cooperate with the Zhan Corporation long-term in the future depended on his performance this time, and he had come with a determination to burn his bridges.
He didn't want anything conventional.
"He Yao is right. If everyone thinks according to conventional wisdom from beginning to end, then the submitted proposal will be similar to others. Where is the chance of winning?"
"There's still time anyway. Whether He Yao's idea is feasible or not can only be determined through specific argumentation. I support her viewpoint."
After speaking, he couldn't help but scold He Yao again.
"Why didn't you speak up if you had an idea? Now that time is running out, isn't this a bit of hindsight?"
He Yao explained.
"Before, I was following everyone's thinking step by step, verifying if the data was incorrect. I didn't have time to think of anything else. It wasn't until recently when I had a bit more free time that I thought of taking out all the product molds for comparison and then discovered this point."
"I admit I discovered it late and it might drag everyone down a bit. But you don't need everyone to work overtime. I can take responsibility myself."
"You just need to give me the authority. I'll go to the mold department to modify the molds and the production department to conduct experiments. Whether it's working overtime or staying up all night, I will definitely submit my proposal before the final bid."
"Good."
Seeing her speak so confidently, Xu Zheng immediately clapped his hands and made a decision.
"Go ahead with confidence! I'll issue orders to all department heads right now, giving you a green light and unconditional cooperation! Within three days, you must give me a satisfactory answer!"
After the meeting, He Yao went to the mold department.
For the next few days, she didn't go back to the company, spending all her time in the factory day and night.
From raw material procurement to mold improvement, to producing samples, to small-scale experiments.
Day and night, she followed through.
Time passed quickly. Two and a half days later, 500 produced samples were sent to the electroplating factory for plating. In another hour, the results of deformation could be checked.
Then they could be tested for assembly on the production line to get the final answer.
She and her师傅 were filled with apprehension, waiting anxiously in the workshop office. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the workshop.
Soon, someone ran in and called for the师傅.
"Director Wang, Li Sanmei is back!"
"He's drunk again, carrying a weapon, saying you fired him without reason, cut off his livelihood, and came to get revenge! You should go out and hide quickly!"
Li Sanmei was a man in his thirties. Because his parents had three sons in a row and wanted a daughter, they gave him the nickname Li Sanmei.
He used to operate a machine tool in the workshop.
This person was addicted to gambling and drinking. He had been scolded by the师傅 several times for coming to work after drinking. However, considering they were fellow villagers and that he was a single man whose wife had run away with their child, making things difficult for him, the师傅 hadn't fired him.
He Yao had been away from the factory for some time and didn't expect him to be gone already.
Hearing others say this, He Yao instinctively asked the师傅 what happened.
"Did he drink during work hours again, so you fired him?"
The师傅 snorted, "He's getting more and more outrageous! Before, he'd have a small drink and come to work, his mind was still clear. Thinking that he had to eat alone and had no education, it would be hard for him to find a job elsewhere, so I tried to cover for him as much as I could. Who knew he'd dare to come to work with a bottle now!"
"If I keep such a reckless person, wouldn't I be asking for trouble?"
"What if one day his mind is too muddled and he gets his hand caught in the machine, causing a work injury? It wouldn't just be him suffering, but I'd have to bear the consequences?"
"I've already been more than kind to him, and he still has the nerve to come and settle scores with me!"
The师傅 was very angry. Instead of hiding, he shouted to the man.
"I'm right here, let him come! We'll have a good talk today about what I've done wrong to him!"
The other person tried to persuade the师傅.
"He reeks of alcohol, he's drunk, can you reason with him? Forget it, forget it. You're working right now, and if something happens, it will have a bad impact. It's better to avoid trouble. You should go and hide."
The师傅 was old. Although he had worked hard for many years and was physically strong, he might not be a match for a man in his thirties if it came to a physical confrontation.
He Yao also advised him.
"Yes,师傅, it's better to avoid trouble. Besides, he's holding a weapon. Let's not stoop to his level."
"Let's go, I'll accompany you to the laboratory. Let's take this opportunity to conduct two experiments."
After being persuaded by everyone, the师傅 calmed down a bit, waved his hand, and decided to leave with He Yao.
As soon as they stepped out of the office door, Li Sanmei saw him and yelled from a distance.
"Wang Jianguo, stop right there! Where are you going?"
"I'm here to settle accounts with you today. Where are you going without coming to me? You heartless bastard! We're both workers, isn't it just because you're one rank higher than me? What's so great about that?"
"Fired me? Cut off my livelihood? You're not human!"
"Since you're not human, I don't need to be polite to you! I'm telling you today! Either you get me rehired by the HR department, or one of us has to lie down today. You choose!"
Hearing his words, the师傅 was furious.
"Li Sanmei, do you have any conscience? Touch your conscience and tell me, with your education and skills, if I hadn't let you off easy and taken you in, could you have worked in this factory for so many years?"
"Don't you know why you were fired? And you still have the nerve to come and settle scores with me? I think I've spoiled you too much, you ungrateful wretch!"
"I'm ungrateful? You're a running dog! What's wrong with my education and skills? Am I not working? Or am I taking your salary?"
"I don't eat your food, I don't drink your drinks. You can just turn a blind eye and mind your own business. Why are you putting on airs with me? Let me tell you, I've disliked you for a long time!"
"If you don't give me an explanation today, I won't let you off! Even if I don't chop you up at the factory, you better watch out on your way home from work!"
He didn't want to get involved with him, but as he spoke, he even started to threaten him. The师傅 simply walked towards him.
"Look at you, you think you can chop me up, and no one can control you, right? Come on, I'm standing right in front of you, chop me, show me!" m..oΓg
He Yao was frightened and quickly pulled the师傅.
The two workers on the other side also grabbed Li Sanmei's arms.
Li Sanmei struggled in their grasp, yelling, and the workshop became chaotic.
He Yao comforted the师傅 again.
"You can't reason with a mad dog like him. He doesn't know his own strength. There's no need to get involved with him. I'll go and inform security to strengthen patrols and prevent him from coming to the factory again. On your way home from work, go with your colleagues. He won't gain any advantage."
"If he doesn't find any benefit after making a fuss for a few days, he'll definitely give up. Calm down, calm down."
