Entering the Station

Just as Xiao Hua was about to continue eating, a police siren sounded from outside. It was clear someone had called the police earlier, and because the police station was less than two kilometers from the restaurant, they arrived so quickly.

"What's going on? Who's fighting here?" A police officer, about thirty years old, entered the restaurant. Besides him, Zhang Yi and the others saw several other police officers outside the door.

"Officer Zhang! I called the police!" Just then, the restaurant owner, who hadn't been seen earlier, appeared out of nowhere and weakly said to the thirty-something officer.

The restaurant owner then explained in detail what had just happened to the police officer.

The officer was very familiar with Wang Lin. After all, Wang Lin was a troublemaker in the area and had been to the police station many times. However, although Wang Lin frequently ended up at the station, the things he did were usually not serious enough to be considered crimes, so he was generally just detained for a few days.

Furthermore, while Wang Lin himself wasn't much, his father was not simple. He was the boss of a real estate company in Xian County and a well-known figure in the area.

Although Zhang Yi and Xiao Hua were not in the wrong in this matter, they were still taken back to the police station to give statements. Originally, after arriving at the police station, Zhang Yi was a little worried about Xiao Hua's identity.

However, to Zhang Yi's surprise, when the police checked her identity, Xiao Hua produced an ID card from this world. The name on her ID card was Wang Xiao Hua, nineteen years old, and the police computer also recorded Xiao Hua's school history from childhood to the present.

Seeing this, Zhang Yi felt relieved. What he had been most worried about before was the identity issue of the scholars he hired through the Scholar Hiring System.

After leaving the police station, on the way home, Zhang Yi kept looking back at Xiao Hua from time to time. Even now, he still couldn't quite believe that this seemingly harmless little girl in front of him could be the one who had taken down seven or eight young men in a row with explosive combat power, almost comparable to a female superhero.

One should know that Zhang Yi had even had some improper thoughts about Xiao Hua in the past few days. With Xiao Hua's figure and appearance, who wouldn't like such a legal loli? After all, lolis have clear voices, soft bodies, and are easy to push over! Any man would have such thoughts.

Fortunately, Zhang Yi had only thought about it in his mind. Otherwise, with his combat power, he wouldn't have been enough for Xiao Hua to handle.

After leaving the police station, it was already very late. Zhang Yi and the others didn't go back to the factory but went directly towards Zhang Yi's home. After all, Zhang Yi's home was not far from the police station, only a few hundred meters away.

"Why are you back so late today? Is there a lot of work at the factory? Even if you're busy, there should be a limit! Work is endless, don't get too tired. Oh, right, Xiao Hua, have you eaten dinner? If not, I'll go make some for you right away, especially you, Xiao Hua, you must be tired from working all day!" When Zhang Yi and the others returned home, his mother immediately asked.

When Zhang Yi first brought Xiao Hua home two days ago, Zhang Yi's mother had also misunderstood them. However, after Zhang Yi's repeated explanations, almost to the point of having Xiao Hua perform her processing skills on the spot at the factory, Zhang Yi's parents finally believed that Xiao Hua was a lathe worker hired by Zhang Yi.

After getting along for the past few days, Zhang Yi's mother's affection for Xiao Hua had increased greatly. Sometimes Zhang Yi even wondered who was the biological child.

"No! Mom! We've eaten," Zhang Yi replied.

"Whether you've eaten or not, what does that have to do with me! I wasn't asking you, I was asking Xiao Hua."

"..." After hearing his mother's words, Zhang Yi was speechless.

Then Zhang Yi saw his mother chatting enthusiastically with Xiao Hua. Zhang Yi didn't know where Xiao Hua got so much energy. She was full of energy while working during the day and didn't rest early at night.

These past few days, Zhang Yi hadn't seen Xiao Hua rest while working. Sometimes, Zhang Yi had to force Xiao Hua to rest. And after returning home, she would immediately help Zhang Yi's mother with housework.

Seeing Xiao Hua and his mother chatting happily, Zhang Yi didn't want to disturb them. Moreover, Xiao Hua's performance at the restaurant earlier had impacted him too much. Zhang Yi still couldn't calm down, so he decided to go back to his room to cool off.

"Boss! Can you buy me some books on mechanical processing tomorrow! I feel like my abilities have improved after adapting these past few days, so I need to supplement my knowledge." Perhaps seeing that Zhang Yi wanted to go upstairs to rest, Xiao Hua, who was chatting, quickly turned her head and said to Zhang Yi.

"Okay! You should also rest early." After saying that, Zhang Yi walked upstairs.

In fact, the skills of the scholars hired through the Scholar Hiring System are not static. Like ordinary people, their experience slowly accumulates over time, and their skills also slowly improve. However, this process also requires a large amount of knowledge and experience accumulation.

Zhang Yi did not refuse Xiao Hua's request. After all, if Xiao Hua's skills improved, he would be the first to benefit.

Therefore, Zhang Yi had quite high expectations for Xiao Hua. After all, Zhang Yi's factory was completely supported by Xiao Hua now. Without Xiao Hua, Zhang Yi himself wouldn't be able to do anything, let alone develop.

Seeing that Zhang Yi had agreed, a smile appeared on Xiao Hua's delicate little face, and she happily said to Zhang Yi, "Boss, thank you!"

The next day, after getting up and eating breakfast, Zhang Yi first sent Xiao Hua to the factory, and then he rode his electric bike to the Xinhua Bookstore in the county town to buy mechanical books. However, when Zhang Yi arrived at the bookstore, he was dumbfounded because there were not many books on mechanical processing in the bookstore.

But Zhang Yi quickly understood. In this small county town where he was, there were simply not many people who would read such professional books. These professional books were incomprehensible to anyone who wasn't a professional.

Just like Zhang Yi himself, although he could operate a machine tool, he had not received formal education in this area of knowledge, so he couldn't understand them at all.

Zhang Yi walked around the bookstore and didn't know which books he should buy. In desperation, Zhang Yi bought one copy of every book related to mechanical processing in the bookstore. In reality, Zhang Yi himself didn't know which ones were useful and which ones were not.

When he left, Zhang Yi found that although he hadn't bought many books, the price was not cheap. He had only bought a dozen or so books in the bookstore, but these dozen or so books cost him nearly a thousand yuan.
