After handing over the tenth manipulator, Sun Ning invited Chu Li to TMK for a return visit.

It was 2017.

Chunlai and Chen Cheng went to the assembly and wafer workshops, Wen Qinzuo and Chu Li went to the testing workshop, and Wu Siying and Chen Tongtong went to the packaging workshop.

The last time I was in this workshop was five years ago. Nowadays, wearing the visitor's yellow clothes, it is eye-catching and unusual. From Sun Ning's office, he saw a few familiar faces, Che Qiang, Sun Yawei greeted him warmly, and the rest of the young engineers looked at Chu Li inexplicably. When Li Chen arrived at the workshop, he received him with a smile, and Chu Li looked around and was told that Li Xiaohong had left his job last year and did not go to Shenzhen, but returned to Xi'an. Li Chen took the position of the team leader and handed over to Zhao Xu to Yang Hua's original group. The supervisor is Chen Chao again, and it seems that he has changed back from the wafer workshop. The workshop has obviously been renovated, the doors are not the same as before, the office of the previous bad product analysis has been demolished, and the bad product analysis engineers in the Philippines and Hong Kong have moved to other places.

When the door of the workshop was opened, Sun Xiaomei walked out, saw Chu Li, and sighed. "Got back?" Then the eyes on the mask laughed, and dense fine lines squeezed out of the corners of the eyes. "Pretty boy!" She walked over and held Chu Li's hand as if no one was around, and she didn't shy away from suspicion. "Vincenzo! What about chocolate? “

”Ciao！“ Wen Qinzuo took out a large box of chocolates from his bag and handed it to Sun Xiaomei.

Chu Li and Li Chen exchanged pleasantries, and brought masks, gloves, and hats.

The moment you open the door of the workshop, all the memories come flooding back. To his surprise, the lights went out in the front half of the workshop, and in the semi-darkness, the blue and green indicators on the server, manipulator, and sensor flashed, and no one had to go to the second half of the exterior to check and quality inspection to see a few operators. He suddenly understood that Ciro and Li Wansheng and all the equipment suppliers had wiped out the bustling and crowded labor-intensive production line of the past, and he was also one of the accomplices. After the automation was upgraded, all that remained was this gloomy stainless steel forest, and he counted carefully, and there were less than fifteen employees left. At its peak, there were 80 to 100 people here. The automatic assembly line can operate in 24 times 7, without error, with a low rate of defective products, even if there is a problem, the cause is extremely easy to find. The lamp was turned on by Li Chen, and he took Chu Li to the few manipulators that were delivered recently, and gave feedback on the effect of this operation, various parameters, etc.

"There are very few people now."

"Two years ago, there weren't many people." Li Chen said very usually, "There are only a few people left for quality inspection, and after the optical monitoring system is in place at the end of the year, it is estimated that there will be no need for anyone." ”

"The brothers are bored, and there is no one to talk to."

"Alas, how can we have time to chat, we used to be different. Now I'm so busy every day, changing sensors, doing maintenance, repairing machines, repairing fixtures, and getting busier. Li Chen tightened his mask tightly with his hands, his eyes blinking uncontrollably and frequently, twitching his muscles like an old cow trying to drive away flies. Sun Xiaomei said that she would talk to these machines in the future. “

Chu Li had nothing to say. Looking at the shelves and tireless manipulators, I feel that this has completely degenerated into a lifeless and soulless machine world. Once behind the shelf of the server, he took the note handed to him by Huang Jing. Once kneeling on the ground to repair the circuit board and power supply, Chen Jingmao suddenly scared himself loudly behind him. used to follow Sun Xiaomei to speak Cantonese, this sentence is not like this, this sentence is very good. once secretly looked at Wu Siying's big portrait of whom. He used to be bullied by Zhan Zhun while working the night shift with Chunlai. Once with Guo Yiming and Li Chen, they had no chat at night, Kan Dashan in the north and south, and occasionally Chen Yu came to interject. Fan Ming, who had seen Chunlai laugh out loud, pinched his arm fiercely. I once gave the chocolates brought by Vincenzo and Jerry to each of the female workers, and then looked at their bulging cheeks, and guessed that they were secretly eating with masks. I once heard Li Xiaohong complain about her disappointments, her complaints, and her expectations. I used to daydream with my eyes open, waiting for Chen Si to suddenly appear at the door with Miao Yan......

"Truly, we don't have any chocolate anymore." Vincenzo said with some disappointment, "Bella is gone." “

The door was pushed open, and Wu Siying and Chen Tongtong walked in. Sun Xiaomei almost didn't hug Wu Siying, the two of them leaned their heads against their heads and hugged each other with a smile, "What about Xiaoqiu?" “

"Xiaoqiu went back to her hometown last year and got married."

Wu Siying looked uneasy.

Sun Xiaomei comforted her and said, "The family is very happy, and the children are very big." “

Wu Siying was even more cramped, pinched Sun Xiaomei's gloved hand, and then joined Wen Qinzuo, Li Chen, Chu Li and others. When there was no one around, Wu Siying said to Chu Li: "I came up with an idea." We can get all the workshops open. ”

"And then?"

"Semi-finished products are transported on an assembly line suspended from the ceiling, so that from the beginning to the end, they can be connected into a huge assembly line. All carts and transfer boxes can be canceled, and even if not all, 99% of them can be removed. ”

And then those people can also be left uninvited. Chu said.

He knew it was absolutely possible, but he instinctively felt a hint of disgust. "The level of clean rooms between these workshops is different, and after they are connected to each other, a negative pressure system needs to be installed. The investment is relatively large. “

"Yes, let their finances do the accounting. In addition, there are some small projects, which I will take a look at with you later. “

Recalling that year, Liang Kuo made a bold move to upgrade automation, which was resisted by Adong, Miaoyan, Sun Ning, including himself, but now he is looking for space for automation upgrades. Although this is not the same as in the past, what is the difference in essence?

Chu Li still had some time to take a look, and went to the assembly workshop next door, there were fewer familiar faces, but Wu Siying could find a lot of areas for her to play, she instructed Chen Tongtong to record those ideas, and draw a little bit with a pen, and the general idea was clear. Sun Ning is very busy, and the relationship between the two, even if they don't have to deliberately avoid it, they can't be too close. He asked Chu Li if there was anything else he wanted to see? Chu Li said that he wanted to say hello to Miao Yan, so he asked the new clerk Xiaomin, the one who couldn't remember the name before, and left again. ——A young girl wearing light makeup led Chu Li to Miaoyan's office.

Outside the door of the magic word office, all the people in the clerk's office have changed. Chen Si left the earliest, Fan Wenjing went home and never came back after getting married, Duan Yan also left after her brother's accident, Li Na was transferred to the company branch in DZ City, Chu Li stared at the position where Chen Si was originally sitting at a glance, and now she is sitting a little girl with a round face, who is not at all similar to Chen Si.

Chu Li knocked on Miaoyan's door, and the round-faced little girl stood up and said, "Hello, Manager Miao is not here, are you in trouble?" “

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Chu Li handed the little girl a handwritten letter prepared from his arms, "The contents of this bag, please pass it on to Sister Miao." “

The girl honestly took the bag and turned around and placed it in a small cupboard. It was the stationery he bought when he came back from Italy, and he bought a total of four sets of stationery, which were given to the daughters of Sun Ning and Zhang Jun, the sons of Xiang Yang Hua and Huang Jing, the sons of Chunlai and Fan Ming, and the daughters of Miao Yan and A Dong. But he put something else in each stationery, such as a pen in the bag of the words. These gifts are carefully selected by him, and the taste is so unique that it is irresistible and does not think that he is flattering. In fact, Chunlai has always hinted that he needs to deal with customers, Chu Li resists bribery and rejects money transactions, but he also knows that he is in the business rivers and lakes, and he can't be alone. Xiao Ye does things in a measured manner, and she will never go beyond the slightest thunder pool, so she is asked to cooperate with Chunlai in all matters, but she is only told that under the framework of the law, it is enough to stop, and she will not ask too much.

At noon, several people revisited the company's food in the canteen, and the crowding of the canteen was not as good as it was back then. The food is good, and several people eat it with relish, and there must be memories of bibimbap. After that, I went through the next few automation improvement suggestions with Sun Ning's team, and then returned to the rock.

After Wu Siying came back this time, in addition to introducing Chen Tongtong to become a regular employee of Panshi. Also coming was Qin Xiaoqing, her instructor. The last time Qin Xiaoqing came was during the summer vacation, and he looked around with a straight face and stayed for two or three days before going back. This time, she offered to come, and she told Chu Li through Wu Siying, saying that she wanted to stay for two weeks, one week in Panshi, and one week in Zhuhai. She still looks like that, with a high ponytail, tied up with a simple strap, that face looks like she has makeup, but it doesn't look like she has makeup, and it looks like she doesn't have it, her eyes are flat, the corners of her eyes are neither hanging nor hanging, she always stares straight at others when she looks at people, her eyes seem to be glued, as if everyone is her student, most of the time she is expressionless, she walks like a man, she doesn't twist her waist, she doesn't swing her hips, she has obvious feminine features, but she talks and acts like a man.

Chu Li inquired a lot with Wu Siying, and slowly learned that she was actually the brain behind many designs, and she had given in-depth opinions on many of Wu Siying's drafts, and it was said that her father was also an old engineer. Li Wansheng's second-generation mechanical fingers, to be exact, should be her masterpiece. She has a lot of weight among students, she responds to every call, the female perspective, and the male style of acting, which gives her a hermaphroditic charm, Chu Li feels that Wu Siying admires her very much.

Eric Zhao also officially joined the rock, he is different from Wu Siying and Chen Tongtong, both come and go, follow the spring to toss the circuit board fixture, quickly get started, immediately become a good player, socialize with Duo Mu Na, how sharp it is to deal with professional problems.

Wen Qinzuo is very envious of this team, but the most admired is Qin Xiaoqing, who can speak fluent English, when she is in Dongguan, he always looks for opportunities to get close to this tall and strong bella, so obvious that everyone can see his intentions, and he doesn't care. Until one day, he suddenly said to Chu Li mysteriously: "She...... May not like men. “

This is perhaps an excellent excuse for overconfident Italian men to console themselves.
