Chapter 82 Questioning
"Actually, I copied everything..." Xu Qiang said casually.

At this time, Xu Qiang was still drunk and didn't want to discuss any study methods with Liu Siying, so he just found an excuse.

"Cheated?" Liu Siying was a little surprised, but then said, "That's impossible, right? Even if you cheated, it would take time and a certain foundation. The last exam was very short, you probably couldn't have cheated to get such a high score."

"I do have some basics. The books are placed right under my butt, and the teachers don't supervise me very much..." Xu Qiang curled his lips and continued, "Actually, if my real level is revealed, I think I can only barely pass at best."

"You are quite honest." Liu Siying nodded approvingly.

"We are all classmates. You have to keep it a secret for me. I don't want the teacher to know about this."

"Don't worry about that!" Liu Siying smiled and said, "It's actually no big deal. It's just a test. I think you have great potential. As long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to get into university."

"Thank you for your kind words!"

"You're welcome. I just hope you can take better care of my dad the day after tomorrow. Don't let him drink too much or get too tired. He's already working hard enough..."

"What are you talking about? Are you making your father tired?" Xu Qiang's eyes widened and he said, "Your father is the factory director! If I don't take good care of him, do I still want to work in the factory in the future?"

"Haha, that's right." Hearing this, Liu Siying chuckled and said after a moment: "I feel relieved when you say that. Thank you, classmate Xu Qiang."

"polite!"

"Siying, why don't you leave?" Lin Yueying, who was waiting at the door, said with a bit of impatience.

"goodbye!"

The next moment, Liu Siying smiled at Xu Qiang, then turned and left the classroom...

……

Time passed quickly and it was the morning of the third day.

According to the previous notice, Xu Qiang arrived at the factory gate at five o'clock, and the factory director Liu Biao was already waiting there.

"Get ready to get in the car." Seeing a Jiefang truck coming from the factory, Liu Biao signaled to Xu Qiang.

Speaking of which, as the director of a large military industrial factory with tens of thousands of employees, Liu Biao's administrative level is not low. Generally, people like him have their own cars, either GAZ or Shanghai sedans, and they are also equipped with drivers. This is all allowed by the state.

But Liu Biao never seemed to care about this. He did have his own car, but it was just a 212 jeep retired from the factory police station. He seldom rode in it and only used it to pick up and drop off his superiors.

Originally Xu Qiang thought that when he went on a business trip with the factory director Liu Biao, there would at least be a special car to see him off. But now it seems that he was overthinking. This old man is much more stingy than he imagined. Now he can only ride on the truck delivering goods to the train station.

According to this itinerary, the two of them would first go to the county train station, then take a train through Fuzhou, and finally go to the provincial capital of Nanchang.

As the truck was driving on the mountain road, Xu Qiang felt like his butt was about to break apart. However, Liu Biao, who was sitting in the middle, was as steady as a rock and would occasionally take a sip of the water cup he carried with him.

Along the way, Xu Qiang and Liu Biao basically didn't talk much until they got on the green train to the provincial capital at the train station. The two of them, sitting face to face, started talking.

Xu Qiang tried his best to behave himself along the way, carrying luggage, buying tickets, and fetching water... not only because Liu Biao was the factory director, but also out of respect for his elders.

After an hour's car ride and four hours' train ride, it was almost noon when the two arrived at the train station in Nanchang, the provincial capital.

As the saying goes, a poor family can bring wealth on the road. Liu Biao was very stingy at the factory, but he was still nice to Xu Qiang. He took him to a state-owned restaurant and ordered a plate of fried bacon with quinoa, a plate of shredded potatoes, and two bowls of rice noodles. Xu Qiang, who was already hungry, ate very deliciously. After eating and drinking, the two took the bus to the office building of the Provincial Defense Industry Office in Donghu District.

The building where the Provincial Defense Industry Office is located is a three-story comprehensive office building, which houses the conscription office and some militia management departments.

Compared with other government departments, this is a military area with barricades and soldiers guarding the door. A platoon of guards are practicing with equipment inside.

After showing their work ID and letter of introduction and obtaining permission through an internal phone call, Liu Biao and Xu Qiang were led by a guard into the gate.

"Director Liu! Welcome, welcome!"

When he saw Liu Biao and Xu Qiang appear at the door of his office, Deputy Director Gao Zhiguo immediately stepped forward to greet them with a smile.

"Director Gao, have a cigarette!" Liu Biao took out a Guanting cigarette and handed it to Gao Zhiguo.

"Thank you for your hard work along the way!" After taking the cigarette, Gao Zhiguo saw Xu Qiang and asked curiously, "Who is this..."

"Ah, he is the submitter of this military-to-civilian technical transformation plan. He used to work in the chemical workshop." Liu Biao introduced.

"Is it the one called Xu Qiang?" Gao Zhiguo finally remembered at this time.

"Yes, yes, that's him!"

"Hello, Comrade Xu Qiang!" Gao Zhiguo also greeted Xu Qiang at this time.

"Hello, Director Gao!"

"Xiao Xu looks so young..." Gao Zhiguo looked at Xu Qiang suspiciously and said, "I heard from experts in our province that your proposal is very clever and ingenious. It would be impossible to come up with such a plan without more than ten years of experience in related work."

"Huh? Did the experts really say that?" After hearing what Gao Zhiguo said, Liu Biao couldn't help but look at Xu Qiang again.

In fact, neither Liu Biao nor Gao Zhiguo understood chemical technology, but they both had sophisticated social experience and rich experience, and knew how to identify and employ people. Xu Qiang was obviously just a young worker who had just started working, and in any case did not deserve such a high evaluation.

"There's no need for me to say this. There were more than one expert who said this." Gao Zhiguo looked at Xu Qiang again and asked, "Comrade Xu, what is your current academic background? Where did you study chemical engineering?"

"I... I graduated from junior high school, and I taught myself chemistry." Xu Qiang pondered for a moment and finally chose to tell the truth.

Facing Gao Zhiguo, Xu Qiang absolutely could not pretend to be a college student, because the other party could easily find out his background. After all, it was a superior department of the military industry system. What's more, the factory director Liu Biao was right next to him, and it was estimated that the old man would not help him to cover up his lie.

In fact, before coming here, Xu Qiang had already realized this problem, that is, he had no academic qualifications and no long working experience. It was very difficult to convince the other party of his plan. After all, it involved special grants of hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan, and no one dared to take responsibility for the failure of technical transformation!

If the factory's technical department did not have a single professional in the chemical industry, Liu Biao would not have brought Xu Qiang alone.

To put it bluntly, Liu Biao was also taking a gamble. Although the possibility of success was small, it was also a helpless choice.

"Graduated from junior high school and self-taught!?"

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Gao Zhiguo frowned...
