The snow melts slowly after the New Year, and the wind still carries a sharp edge.

After spending a few days lingering tenderly with Lin Xiulan, and having explained the arrangements for the start of operations at the mountain produce purchasing point after the New Year, Lu Qingshan changed into a brand-new dark blue Zhongshan suit.

He appeared even more upright and tall.

He rode his bicycle, facing the villagers' respectful yet fawning gazes, until he arrived at Hongshi Forest Farm.

The office building is still that old red brick building.

Lu Qingshan didn't go anywhere else, but went straight up to the second floor and knocked on the door of the farm manager's office.

"Come in!"

Li Aiguo's loud voice came from inside the house.

Lu Qingshan pushed open the door and went in.

Li Aiguo was looking at documents while wearing his reading glasses. When he saw that it was him, he immediately threw his glasses on the table and stood up with a big smile on his face.

"Qingshan! You've finally arrived!"

"Quick, sit down!"

He walked around the desk and patted Lu Qingshan's shoulder twice with his large hand.

"I'll only feel at ease when you come, kid."

Li Aiguo lit a cigarette and led the way out.

"Come on, don't stay here with me. I'll personally take you to the technical department to report for duty."

"That Zhou Baoguang guy talks about you every day."

Li Aiguo led Lu Qingshan to the technical department on the first floor without any obstacles.

In the office, several technicians in work clothes were chatting and warming themselves by the stove. When they saw the factory manager leading them in, they were startled and quickly stood up straight.

"Good morning, Manager!"

"Um."

Li Aiguo nodded, his gaze sweeping around the room.

Where is Zhou Baoguang?

The door to the inner office opened, and Zhou Baoguang, the head of the technical department, strode out. His eyes lit up when he saw Lu Qingshan.

"Oh, Manager! Comrade Qingshan! You've finally arrived!"

Zhou Baoguang's enthusiasm for Lu Qingshan was no less than that for Li Aiguo.

That new roadmap last time really saved the technical department's life and saved his position.

"Old Zhou, I've brought the person to you."

Li Aiguo pushed Lu Qingshan forward.

"This kid will be the deputy head of your newly established Transportation Planning Section from now on, and he'll be one of your men."

"You'd better make sure you bring it well!"

Zhou Baoguang readily agreed: "Don't worry, Director! Comrade Qingshan is a treasure of our forest farm, I guarantee I'll arrange everything perfectly!"

Li Aiguo offered Lu Qingshan a few more words of encouragement before turning away with his hands behind his back, satisfied.

The atmosphere in the office became more lively after the manager left.

Zhou Baoguang pulled Lu Qingshan aside and introduced him to his colleagues in the department.

When it was time to introduce the last person, Zhou Baoguang's smile faded slightly.

"This is Li Jianye, Section Chief Li."

"Jianye, this is Lu Qingshan. From now on, you two will be partners in the same department."

A middle-aged man who had been sitting silently in the corner slowly stood up.

The man was about forty years old, with his hair neatly combed and a forced smile on his face.

This newly established department was where he had accumulated years of seniority and was preparing to gain experience and be promoted.

Now, this young upstart Lu Qingshan has snatched it away out of thin air.

Li Jianye pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, stretched out his hand, and slowly sized up Lu Qingshan.

"Oh, so you're Deputy Section Chief Lu."

His voice was sarcastic and had a sour tone.

"Truly a promising young man, so very promising!"

"I heard that Deputy Section Chief Lu solved a long-standing problem for our forest farm with just one blueprint. That's truly remarkable."

Lu Qingshan shook hands with him, smiling, seemingly unaware of Li Jianye's malice.

"I just don't know if this theoretical skill will be effective in practice."

Li Jianye released his hand and carefully wiped it with a handkerchief.

"In our Northeast forest region, there are many rules for transporting timber during the Spring Festival."

"Deputy Section Chief Lu has never worked in a forest farm before. Don't let him just be good at drawing diagrams. Otherwise, he'll become a laughing stock among his subordinates."

These words are practically an insult directed at someone's face.

In the office, the other technicians all had their heads down, pretending to be busy, but their ears were all perked up.

Zhou Baoguang's expression was rather unpleasant.

"Jianye, how dare you speak like that!"

Li Jianye snorted coldly.

"Section Chief Zhou, I've put the report the factory manager requested on your desk. Please take a look at it quickly."

Zhou Baoguang frowned, gave Lu Qingshan a few words of advice, basically telling him to come to him if he felt wronged, and then left in a hurry.

As soon as Zhou Baoguang left, Li Jianye stopped acting, turned around and looked around the office, then shrugged.

"Deputy Section Chief Lu, look how cramped this office is."

"We don't even have a place to put the blueprints here, so we really can't spare any space for you."

He paused, as if suddenly remembering something, and pointed to the end of the corridor.

"Oh, right."

"Isn't there a storage room over there? Although it's piled with old tools and waste newspapers, if you tidy it up, you can fit a person sitting down."

"Deputy Section Chief Lu, why don't you just make do there for a bit?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the office couldn't help but peek outside.

There was sympathy in his eyes, but even more so, schadenfreude.

A deputy section chief who was parachuted in through connections with the farm manager was forced to sleep in the storage room on his very first day.

This joke will keep them talking for half a year.

All eyes were on Lu Qingshan, waiting to see how he would react.

Lu Qingshan's face remained completely expressionless as he simply nodded.

"OK."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the dark, cluttered storage room.

Li Jianye was completely stunned.

All the words he had prepared stuck in his throat.

This punch felt like hitting cotton, leaving him with an indescribable sense of frustration.

Lu Qingshan pushed open the door to the storage room, and a musty and rusty smell that had been there for many years hit him.

The room was small, with rusty wrenches, broken saw blades, and stacks of old newspapers gnawed by rats piled against the wall.

The only window was covered with a thick layer of dust, preventing any light from getting in.

Lu Qingshan didn't mind. He put down his bag, rolled up his sleeves, and began to quietly tidy up.

Standing at the door, Li Jianye watched Lu Qingshan silently carrying away the junk, and his anger flared even more.

He snorted coldly and turned back to his office.

For one morning, he deliberately didn't assign Lu Qingshan any work, leaving him to sit on the sidelines in the storeroom.

He refused to believe that a young man in his early twenties could endure such humiliation and neglect.

However, Lu Qingshan didn't care at all.

He tidied up the storage room to create a small open space and found two planks to make a simple table.

He paused for a moment while sorting through a pile of old newspapers.

Beneath the newspapers lay several booklets covered in a thick layer of dust.

He picked it up and blew off the dust.

Record of Transportation Accidents in Hongshi Forest Farm from Spring 1975 to 1982.

Forest Area Meteorological and Hydrological Diary

For several days in a row, Lu Qingshan stayed in his small office, flipping through these old newspapers.

Three days later, one morning, a thunderous roar and a loud bang of the factory director Li Aiguo slamming his fist on the table suddenly came from the main office building.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Baoguang rushed over as if his eyebrows were on fire, shouting at everyone in the office.

"Stop working! Emergency meeting! The manager's furious!"

The technical staff panicked and rushed to the conference room.

Before leaving, Li Jianye glanced back at the storage room.

Lu Qingshan remained seated, staring blankly at the pile of junk.

Li Jianye smirked coldly. This kid must have gone mad.

The conference room was filled with smoke.

Li Aiguo slammed his fist on the conference table, making the teacups on it jump.

His face was ashen.

"The late spring cold snap came so unexpectedly!"

"The newly built timber transport road, especially the steep sections, is completely covered with an invisible layer of ice!"

"Just now, a truck carrying timber drove up the hill, and like a spinning top, it slid straight into the ditch next to it!"

He pointed to the distant mountains outside the window, his voice trembling.

"Those hundreds of cubic meters of red pine trees on the mountaintop are waiting to be brought down! If they can't be transported down before the thaw, they'll all rot on the mountain!"

"The county's timber mill is pushing us to meet deadlines like they're demanding our lives!"

"you!"

Li Aiguo's gaze was like a knife, sweeping over every section chief present.

"Now, give me a solution!"
