The Daughter-In-Law: the Counterattack of the Good-For-Nothing

"The Misplaced Time and Space of Steel and Iron" A time and space dislocation spanning 25 years caused Wu Chuang, the purchasing director, to fall from his office in 2023 to the Hongxing Agricultural Machinery Factory in 1998. The pungent smell of engine oil, the old lathe, the young but serious Lao Chen, the rough calluses on his palms and the "Apprentice Wu Chuang" brand dragged him into a completely unfamiliar mechanical world. Faced with worn-out taps and urgent orders for agricultural machinery screws, Wu Chuang, under the guidance of Lao Chen, clumsily but earnestly learned to turn screws and use calipers. Amidst the sound of metal cutting, he gradually understood the true meaning of "steady hands, accurate eyes and careful mind" spoken by Lao Chen. He witnessed how young and old Chen won orders from the county agricultural machinery station and saved the factory from being in trouble with his precise craftsmanship, and finally understood that old Chen's teaching of "precision is the lifeline" was by no means stubborn - it was reliable and had always been the confidence hidden in every tolerance and every thread. From suits and leather shoes to navy blue workwear, from report figures to lathe iron filings, this mechanical journey of mismatched time and space allowed Wu Chuang to re-examine the essence of the workplace, and also allowed the "craftsman spirit" of two generations to be passed down through time in the collision of steel and iron.
