Chapter 160 You want to buy a courtyard house?
Wang Kai didn't understand; Qiao An's score was clearly already in first place.
Why did she still say there was a problem with the engine?
Is it because they are too young, arrogant, and seeking a sense of existence?
"Joan, these are all engines that the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) selected for import after thorough evaluation."
"Moreover, a batch of engines has already been put into use, and there have been no problems so far."
Wang Kai calmly explained, hoping Qiao An would stop talking about it.
"Just because there are no problems now doesn't mean there won't be any problems in the future. The reason you import engines with dual-circuit cooling systems is because these engines are resistant to high temperatures, right?"
Wang Kai nodded. "You're right."
"But any engine will develop minor malfunctions after prolonged use, which is normal."
The others who overheard their conversation all looked at Joan.
"After all that talk, it's all just nonsense."
"Everything will have problems if used for a long time, do you even need to tell me that?"
"They really think they're experts."
Joanne ignored what those people were saying.
"I just want to remind you that you've been ripped off by a foreign factory. I don't know what the internal structure of other engines is like, but the turbocharger on the one I disassembled was two sizes too small."
"The engine can compress air while running, but its heat resistance will be greatly reduced. If I'm not mistaken, these engines are mounted on tanks, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Kai narrowed his eyes.
Joan actually figured it out!
"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes." Joan pointed to the engine. "If the tanks are just used for normal training, you won't discover the problem with the supercharger for at least two or three years."
"But after just a few long-distance raids, all the tanks with these engines will break down."
After finishing speaking, Qiao An glanced at her watch again.
It's 5:30, she needs to hurry.
"I've finished speaking. Please announce the results."
I've said everything I needed to say; whether they listen or not is their business.
Wang Kai hesitated for a moment before stepping onto the podium.
The examiner placed the score sheet in front of him.
Wang Kai glanced at it.
Qiao An ranked first in the written test.
Practical skills come first, Qiao An.
The results were announced from the last to the first, leaving some disappointed and others worried.
In the end, only three people's scores had not yet been announced, and Qiao An was one of them.
Many people are paying attention to Qiao An.
Now everyone understands that she must be one of the top three.
She's probably the only special worker this young in the entire Xia Kingdom.
The third place went to Jeon Trung Minh from Bac Ha province.
The second place went to Kim Cheon, a local from Pyeongkyo.
Of the 53 test takers, only one's score has not yet been released.
Everyone knows who this person is.
No one wanted to admit that they had lost to a woman.
"First place: Qiao An, with a written test score of 120 and a practical test score of 100."
"120 points? How so? Isn't the maximum score 100?"
Jin Tian heard the score and questioned it loudly.
He is over fifty years old this year. He was a high-achieving student who returned from studying abroad. Despite the trials and tribulations of these turbulent years, he has not lost his professional knowledge.
He was determined to get first place in this exam.
Unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere.
I don't know where this young woman in her early twenties came from.
How did they manage to get first place?
He scored 120 on the written test, and he found it hard to believe there wasn't something fishy going on.
"We need an explanation: why did she get 120 points!"
"Yes! Yes! Did you cheat? Was there any foul play in the exam?!"
"We're not convinced! How could a little girl like you have such great abilities? You must have pulled something behind the scenes."
Wang Kai stretched out his hands and pressed down, "Quiet down!"
He had anticipated that these people would be dissatisfied.
They are all top engineers in the Xia Kingdom; it's no wonder they wouldn't submit to a woman in her twenties.
Wang Kai opened his backpack and took out Qiao An's written test paper. "Let them see it."
"Yes."
The young examiner took the exam paper away.
The candidates immediately surrounded him.
Soon, no one spoke.
The last two big questions were solved so beautifully.
Jin Tian's face turned bright red as he struggled to understand Qiao An's second solution.
"The full score is indeed 100 points, but because Comrade Qiao An used two different solutions to the last two big questions, plus the bonus points, it's 120 points."
Jin Tian was still unconvinced, "If she could cheat on the written test, who knows if you gave her the answers beforehand?"
Joan got a little angry.
He came in second and passed the exam, so why is he still causing me trouble?
Before Wang Kai could explain, she strode forward and, in front of everyone, took out her notebook and began writing formulas.
"Is this never going to end? If you're bad, just practice more and learn more! Is it so hard to admit that others are better than you?"
"If there hadn't been no more space on the exam paper, I could have written a third, even a fourth, solution!"
The swishing sound of writing also caught Wang Kai's attention, and he squeezed in to take a look.
Before long, the notebook was filled with two whole pages of writing.
"—Smack!"
Joan slammed her pen on the table.
"Take your time to look at it! If you don't understand, just ask. I don't have time to waste on you guys."
Qiao An left the crowd and came to Wang Kai.
"I've already submitted my ID photo, so this shouldn't be anything else for me, right?"
Wang Kai was so engrossed in the calculations that he completely lost track of time.
The answer was somewhat hesitant: "Huh? Yes, yes!"
"I'm catching a train. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. Just one last reminder: recall this batch of engines immediately and use one for a high-temperature test. We'll know the result once we test it."
Qiao An picked up her handbag and walked out of the examination room with a flourish.
I jogged away from the university and arrived at the bus stop.
It was already six o'clock in the evening when she arrived at Shan Cuilan's house.
"Grandma, I'm so sorry, something came up and I was delayed."
Qiao An apologized as soon as she entered the house.
Shan Cuilan pulled her to sit down, "It's nothing, the food was just cooked, let's eat together."
Now, Shan Cuilan's family has a nanny and two young soldiers who take care of her daily life.
The nanny was a good cook, but Shan Cuilan felt that she was far inferior to Qiao An in cooking skills.
After spending these days together, she grew to like Joan more and more.
It's really hard to see her leave.
While serving food to Qiao An, Shan Cuilan reminded her of things to be careful about on the road.
"Grandma, are you reluctant to part with me?" Qiao An asked with a smile.
Shan Cuilan kept a straight face. "What's there to be reluctant about?"
"You're really willing to give it up? Then I won't come to Pingjing anymore. I didn't have any relatives here to begin with, and now there's no one even thinking of me. What's the point of me coming back?"
"Hey! You child, why can't you take a joke?" Shan Cuilan pretended to slap her hand.
"You should come whenever you have time. It would be great if you stayed in Pyeongkyo from now on, then I'd have someone to keep me company."
Qiao An knew that Shan Cuilan was healthy and lived to be over ninety years old, so they had plenty of time to meet.
In the future, Huo Jiyun will frequently come to Beijing for work transfers.
Thinking about this, Qiao An suddenly began to ponder something.
"Grandma, I have to go back to my hometown tonight. I'll call you every week from now on and chat with you."
"It just so happens that I also have something I'd like to ask you for help with."
"What is it? Let me hear it." Shan Cuilan became interested.
"I think this courtyard house is really nice. If you have time, could you take a look and see if anyone wants to sell it?"
Dan Cuilan raised an eyebrow. "You want to buy a courtyard house?"
