Chapter 1828 Making the Act Complete
The initial planning was still missing a crucial element, so Li Xiangnan didn't sit idle. He rode his motorcycle to the Hongshankou Machinery Repair Shop.
After finding the factory manager Liu Zhiyuan and explaining their purpose, he took Li Xiangnan directly to Wu Shulin and instructed him to do everything he could to make what they wanted.
This wasn't something that the factory workers at the machine repair shop would normally do, but Wu Shulin had worked at the glass factory for three years before, so he was quite familiar with the glass-making method.
"Look how busy you've been lately, you're never even having a moment to rest. I heard from your father-in-law that you even went on a business trip to southern Anhui. Your business volume has grown so much, you've even made a name for yourself with the police!"
Wu Shulin, wearing reading glasses, was working with a small blowtorch, sealing a specially made glass tube. Meanwhile, Liu Zhiyuan was also busy, chatting with Li Xiangnan.
"Well, there's nothing I can do. Uncle Zhang asked me for a favor before, otherwise I would have been too busy in Yanjing to go to Nanwan!" Li Xiangnan told Liu Zhiyuan the truth.
But no sooner had he finished speaking than a voice rang out from behind him: "Oh? Did Xiao Zhang ask you to go?"
Li Xiangnan turned around and smiled immediately, saying affectionately, "Grandpa!"
He hurried over to offer her a cigarette, saying apologetically, "I was planning to rest a bit before going to talk to you about Uncle Zhang's matter, but when I got back, it was all about the construction site and the pharmaceutical factory. I've been spinning like a top, without a moment's rest!"
Qin Zongheng waved his hand, took a drag of his cigarette, glanced at his grandson-in-law, and said with great satisfaction, "It's good that you're busy, it means you have things to do, and many places need you! You can visit me when you have some free time!"
Upon hearing that the trip to Nanwan was at Zhang Zhidong's request, he became wary, knowing there were many people around and gossip. He waved his hand dismissively and said, "We'll talk about Nanwan another time. What are you doing here today? I heard from the security department that you came straight here on your motorcycle..."
“Make some samples!” Li Xiangnan chuckled and pointed at Wu Shulin.
The old man immediately became curious and went closer to Wu Shulin to take a look.
Wu Shulin moved slowly and methodically, handling the utensils with unwavering composure.
On the workbench to the side, various files, sandpaper, engraving needles, and foreign instrument catalogs with mostly crumpled labels in English were scattered around.
"Is it foreign products?" Qin Zongheng asked, somewhat puzzled. When did his grandson-in-law start getting involved in those things again?
"I borrowed the catalog from a teacher in the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Department. I wanted Director Wu to help me assemble a few things so I could take a look!" Li Xiangnan explained, not wanting to say that it was for dealing with Sun Qisheng.
Wang Defa hurriedly came in from outside carrying a pile of discarded glassware. "Xiao Li, do you still want to melt them down? I just borrowed them from Lao Yao!"
After saying this, he turned to look at Qin Zongheng, and immediately beamed with joy as he greeted him, "Old Master!"
"Xiao Wang is still as energetic as ever!" Qin Zongheng patted him on the shoulder and laughed.
"Hehe!" Wang Defa grinned, put the things on the table, and went to look at Wu Shulin and Li Xiangnan.
"How many?" Li Xiangnan asked.
Wu Shulin turned his head to look to the side, "Nine, is that enough?"
"That's about enough! Okay!"
The former handed over the cooled sample, "Xiao Li, how about this?"
Li Xiangnan took it, turned on the light on the control panel, and examined it carefully.
The bottle was fired using discarded reagent bottles melted down. With Wu Shulin's skillful melting process, it became extremely transparent.
"It's done!" Li Xiangnan exclaimed in admiration. "Director Wu, your skills are still as perfect as ever! Bringing the machine repair shop here is such a waste!"
"Hahaha!" The group burst into laughter.
Just then, Yao Mile from the factory hospital rushed over with a file folder. Seeing a group of people discussing the sample bottles from afar, he felt relieved and called out, "Xiao Li, it's done!"
"Let me see!" Li Xiangnan quickly went to greet him.
Yao Mile didn't hesitate either. He opened the file bag and pulled out several labels. These were printed with special ink, imitating the fonts and formats commonly used in foreign laboratories, and even had a thoughtfully made antique-looking crease.
Wang Defa exclaimed, "Dean Yao, you're amazing! This looks just like the real thing! You've definitely studied abroad; you know foreign things like the back of your hand!"
Yao Mile chuckled and teased, "You've been waiting for me here!"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone burst into laughter again.
Li Xiangnan nodded and said, "Dean Yao, we really have to rely on you. People like us who have never been abroad would never know that foreign laboratories use such writing! Thank you!"
Qin Zongheng and Liu Zhiyuan were both quite curious, standing to the side with their eyes wide open, but they still didn't know what Li Xiangnan was planning to do.
"Oh, right, and this too!" Yao Mile pulled out a blue glass bottle from his pocket and solemnly handed it over. "This stuff isn't easy to make. My classmate has been researching it for the past few days. He used starch and mixed in a little bit of dye to make it!"
Li Xiangnan was overjoyed. "Dean Yao is truly resourceful! Fatty, give me a point!"
Once this stuff is put into a bottle, the gelatinous substance made of blue dyed starch shimmers with a strange luster under the light, looking very much like the so-called "new type of catalytic enzyme"!
One bottle of sol was divided into nine glass bottles, and it immediately looked like the real thing.
But Li Xiangnan still felt it wasn't enough. He pulled Yao Mile to the workbench and pleaded, "Old Yao, please write a few more labels for me, in both English and Chinese: 'Fragile' and 'Biological Product,' as warnings!"
Dean Yao was both amused and exasperated, but also genuinely impressed. "You really went all out with your acting, alright!"
He pulled up a stool, not minding the dirt, and carefully cut open the foreign letter paper labels in the document bag with scissors, wrote his own English labels on them, and then handed them to Li Xiangnan and the others to stick on.
Seeing his grandfather-in-law craning his neck and looking at him curiously, Li Xiangnan whispered, "Grandpa, I'll explain it to you properly later. Let's sit down and talk! We can't make it today!"
"You go about your business!" Qin Zongheng still had that much awareness.
Boom boom boom!
Just then, the sound of a car came from outside, and soon Qiao Henwan entered the workshop, her high heels clicking as she walked in.
"I wish I'd come sooner! You've come at the perfect time!"
Li Xiangnan brought over the small refrigerator model that Wu Shulin had made in advance and placed all the glassware inside.
"I've already spoken to Jian Jingzhe. Just send these directly to the family compound. She knows what to do!"
"Yes, she called me this morning too!" Qiao Henwan nodded, then pulled him aside and whispered, "She told me to tell you that the catalytic enzyme will arrive tomorrow evening, and the security guards in the storage room will leave at a specific time. The patrol shifts will also be slightly adjusted to give Brother He enough time, but it won't be too obvious!"
"I checked the room this morning. The window latches have been tampered with; they can be opened from the outside with tools!"
"Alright, go quickly!" Li Xiangnan was overjoyed.
Now everything is ready except for the final push; we're just waiting for Brother He and Sun Qisheng to fall into the trap!
Tomorrow will be Qisheng Pharmaceutical's last good day.
