(42) Ye Wenhui noticed that Tian Jing has been particularly diligent these days. At work, her focused expression at her desk gives the impression of someone who is praying, with great devotion. She used to work overtime rarely, but now she is one of those who often works overtime in the office. If her computer screen displayed the names Jesus Christ or Muhammad, she would truly be considered a model believer. Dianjing looks like this entirely because she is working on the piping. One noon, when it was already time to leave work, Tian Jing was still sitting at her desk. Ye Wenhui joked with her, asking, \"Tian Jing, is working with pipes fun?\" I see you’re so busy that you even forget to eat. ” Tian Jing said blankly, “It’s fun. You should give it a try too... Ah!” It's time to eat. ”Upon hearing the mention of food, Tian Jing put down the mouse and slapped the table with both hands; she was completely different from how she had been before. “Finally, it's time to eat! ”After saying that, Tian Jing seemed to think of something; she picked up the mouse again and adjusted the drawings on the computer, drawing a circle of dotted lines in one of the areas. This type of cloud line is the same as the one Liu Meng created that day. Ye Wenhui said, “That can’t be true. Just now you were praised for working tirelessly for your job; how quickly your true nature showed itself.” ” Tian Jing laughed and said, “I certainly won’t neglect my sleep. No matter how busy I am, I must sleep enough—not skipping a single night—and I must eat properly, not missing a single meal. Sister Xiao Jing, let’s go eat.” ”Tian Jing called out behind her, and only then did Ye Wenhui realize that Tang Xiaojing also hadn’t gone to eat yet. Tang Xiaojing nodded in agreement, waited for a while before standing up and saying, \"I’ve been extremely busy lately; everything has piled up at once.\" ”As they talked, the group headed toward the restaurant. As they were leaving, they heard Jiu Geer saying, “Overtime, overtime…” which made Tian Jing want to pinch him. Ye Wenhui asked, \"Sister Xiaojing, are you also working on piping?” ” Tang Xiaojing said, “Isn’t that right!” The pressure is too great; it has to be completed this month, and there’s still a ton of work to do. Xiaoye, you guys should finish your exams as soon as possible. Recently, you all have exams, so all the work has fallen on us. ”Tang Xiaojing is considered one of the legends of the company; she passed the professional exam for registered chemical engineers just four years after graduating, while for most people, they don’t even qualify to take this exam until four years after graduation. Ye Wenhui said, “Haha... Sister Xiaojing, those who are more capable work harder, and the more they work, the more they get!” Seeing that you all are so busy, I feel tempted to help as well, but I just don’t know how; even if I wanted to, I couldn’t be of any use. ” Tang Xiaojing said, “Piping is easy to learn; one can get the hang of it quickly. Just look at Xiao Tian – in just over half a month, he was already able to handle the piping for an entire set of equipment on his own.” ” Hearing this, Tian Jing quickly said, “Did Ye Wenhui hear that?” I’m now a key worker, haha... There are six workshops in total, and I work in one of them. ” Ye Wenhui said in surprise, “Ah, it can be that fast?” ” Tian Jing said with a smile, “Haha... I was just teasing you. The one I made is the smallest; it has only dozens of tubes. Sister Xiao Jing’s version has way more – at least several hundred tubes, right?” Sister Xiaojing. ” Tang Xiaojing just smiled and didn’t say anything. Ye Wenhui said, “That’s not bad either; it’s more than mine.” ”Tian Jing started working around the same time, but because he had to prepare for exams, Tian Jing ended up far ahead of him, which made Ye Wenhui feel a bit anxious. He asked again, “What were those cloud lines you marked on the map when you left just now?” ” Tian Jing said, “You’ve never seen it, right? That’s a secret.” ” Tang Xiaojing said, “You’ll know when you start working on piping. Our facility is relatively small, and the projects we handle are quite varied; most of them relate to the field of fine chemicals. When it comes to piping, we don’t use 3D software – we just use CAD to draw the designs directly.” When there are many pipelines, things can get messy during layout due to the abstract nature of it; with so many pipelines, it’s not possible to arrange them all at once. Therefore, after completing each stage of piping work, or when there is an interruption, we draw a dotted line at the node to help us locate where we left off when resuming work. Hehe... actually, it’s not necessary to use a cloud line; once you get used to it, other options will work just as well. ” Tian Jing said, “I think cloud lines are quite good; they’re hardly used anywhere else. Using cloud lines for marking makes it less likely to cause confusion.” ” Tang Xiaojing said, “Yes, that’s exactly the purpose of using cloud lines.” ” Ye Wenhui said, \"Sister Xiaojing, after I finish my exams, I’ll go help you with the piping work as well; that way I can learn more from you.\" ” Tian Jing said, “You’re late; Sister Xiao Jing already has me.” ”As he spoke, he even made a face at Ye Wenhui. Tang Xiaojing said, “In a couple of days, Director Zhang will definitely assign you tasks related to piping work. That’s how things work here; when process engineers first arrive, they have to spend some time working on piping tasks before they can take on more complex projects.” ” Ye Wenhui said, “I see, I understand now.” ”As he spoke, he smiled triumphantly at Tian Jing. Tian Jing said, “I would like to welcome classmate Ye to the labor team.” ” At this point, Ye Wenhui was already focused on planning his next steps; he didn’t care at all about whether the work would be hard. Like a newborn calf that isn’t afraid of tigers, he simply wanted to try more things.
