214--Chapter [-]
Xiao Yan responded with a smile. "Both of you are only half right. Strength and wisdom alone are not enough. Only by combining strength and wisdom can we do a good job."

Chepnovsky asked Xiao Yan. "Under your seemingly thin appearance, there is a huge power hidden. How did you develop such a huge power?"

Xiao Yan smiled without saying a word.

Yu Haitang interrupted. "You don't understand this, Xiao Yan knows how to cultivate flowers."

"It turns out that kung fu is so amazing, Xiao Yan, can you teach me kung fu?" Chepnovsky looked at Xiao Yan.

"Kung fu can't be taught by just anyone, it must be taught by a master-student relationship." Xiao Yan responded.

"Oh, then I'll just ask you as my teacher!" Chepnovsky was also an obsessive person, pretending to beg him.

"Don't worship me, it's useless even if you worship me now." Xiao Yan shook his head. "The fate between you and me has not yet come, and I have no plans to accept you as a disciple!"

"Oh, what a pity, I hope you can accept me as an apprentice soon." Chepnovsky showed a regretful expression.

Yu Haitang knew very well that Chepnovsky looked rough, but he actually had a good knowledge of steelmaking technology, and his joining could improve the technical strength of the second factory.

After a moment's pause, she spoke to Chepnovsky. "Let me help you with an idea. You can apply to be transferred to the second factory, so that you can learn kung fu as soon as possible."

Chepnovsky's eyes lit up. "Yes, what you said makes sense."

Xiao Yan responded with a smile. "I would like to say that you are welcome to enter the second factory, but I have no say in whether you can join the second factory. You can apply to the director Ding."

"Okay, master, you wait for me."

When Zheng Dezheng was struggling with the literacy class, he received a call from Secretary Li *shu*. "Secretary, I'm eating now, do you have any new instructions?"

"Yo, you kid can do it. Before I even spoke, you started to gag me!" Secretary Li *shu* replied half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Leader, how dare I block your mouth, I just like to listen to your meetings and convey the spirit to everyone." Zheng De explained quickly. "I haven't listened to your speech during this time, and I feel uncomfortable all over."

"It's alright, alright, you kid, don't talk to me!" Secretary Li *shu* interrupted Zheng De's words. "I came to you today for the literacy class. At that time, you gave me a military order to teach everyone to learn [-] characters in a month. Now the deadline has come. How are you doing?"

Zheng De secretly groaned when he heard this. "This Li*shu*ji really does not open the pot and lift the pot!"

After thinking for a moment, he decided to bring the topic to Xiao Yan. "Leader, Xiao Yan also signed the military order at that time, have they passed the inspection?"

"There are 36 illiterate people in the second branch factory, and they need to learn 350 Chinese characters according to the plan." Secretary Li *shu* responded. "I personally led the team to the acceptance inspection, and they passed it at one time. How is the situation in your factory?"

Zheng De is well aware of the principle of "falseness does not reveal timidity". "Oh, our side is almost ready."

"Okay, then when do you think we will go to check and accept?" Secretary Li *shu* asked straightforwardly.

"Leader, our factory has recently received a batch of production tasks, and I'm very busy. Can you give me a few more days?"

Zheng De is ready to adopt a delaying tactic.

"The superior is very concerned about literacy, and I can give you a week at most." Li *shu* wrote down the ultimatum.

"Okay, that's it." Zheng De lit a cigarette, with a sad look on his face. "It's only a week, and those idiots in our factory can't complete the task at all. What should I do?"

While Zheng De was hesitating, Doctor Song walked in with a bowl of dumplings in her hand. "Director, come and try the freshly baked dumplings stuffed with pork and mushroom."

Zheng De had a look of appreciation on his face after tasting a dumpling. "The taste is not bad, did you wrap it yourself?"

"That's right, why don't you just write one and stop eating? Do you have something on your mind?" Dr. Song asked with a concerned expression.

"I was on the phone with the secretary just now. He was asking about the literacy class and said he would come to inspect it." Zheng De didn't hide anything from Dr. Song.

"The group of idiots in our factory are less than fifty literate, what should we do?"

"I have an idea, let's see if it works." Doctor Song whispered to Zheng De.

Hearing this, Zheng De took a deep breath, and then put out the cigarette butt. "I think it can, you go to operate."

A week passed in a blink of an eye, and secretary Li *shu* personally led a team to a branch factory for acceptance.

"Leader, your time is precious, and it is too troublesome to check and accept one by one." Zheng De suggested to him. "I'll find a few typical students to come over. You'll take the test and accept them on the spot, and then let them introduce their learning experience. Do you think this will work?"

Secretary Li*shu* nodded after thinking for a moment. "Okay, you can start now."

"Okay, Master Wang, come up."

Master Wang went to the blackboard and picked up the chalk to prepare.

Zheng De began to read the surnames of hundreds of families. "Zhao Qian Sun Li, Zhou Wu Zheng Wang."

Master Wang calculated and wrote on the blackboard, when Xiao Jiang opened the door and walked in. "Report to the leader, let me observe our factory."

Li*shu*ji nodded. "Okay, sit down."

Zheng De continued to read, Master Wang continued to write, and soon the blackboard was filled with words.

Li*shu*ji showed appreciation and praised Zheng De. "It seems that your factory's literacy work is doing a good job!"

"Thank you for the compliment from the leader!" Zheng De responded with a smug expression. "Our factory adopted strict assessment measures to force them to learn, and it finally worked."

There was a mocking expression on Xiaoliang's face, and he remained silent.

"Master Wang, you are really not simple!" Members of the acceptance team praised him.

Master Wang responded with a smile. "Sorry, it's a shame."

"It's a miracle that you can know so many characters in just one month!"

Master Wang showed a smug expression. "You can choose from famous classics such as "A Thousand Poems", "The Book of Songs", "Mencius" and so on."

Zheng De reminded in a low voice. "Master Wang, it's almost enough."

"I've seen this kind of scene before, it's nothing." Master Wang showed disapproval on his face. "Lead you start, and I will recite it for you."

"Okay, then let's start with the phrase 'Learning while learning from time to time'." Secretary Li *shu* gave him a topic of "The Analects of Confucius".

"The Master said: It's a pleasure to learn and practice it from time to time; it's a pleasure to have friends come from afar; it's not a gentleman if you don't know it but not stunned!" Master Wang shook his head and began to recite.

With an embarrassed expression on Zheng De's face, he secretly tugged at the corner of Master Wang's clothes, which meant to make him calm down.

"Okay, can you memorize The Book of Songs?" Li*shu*ji's face was gloomy, and he tried to test Master Wang.

Master Wang was still immersed in the excitement and didn't realize it at all. He showed a confident expression. "Can I start from scratch?"

"Yes." Secretary Li *shu* nodded.
