Summary: The workshop director agreed with Xiaomeng's reasonable argument and thus let her try to fix the machine. After carefully examining the machine, Xiaomeng found that it shared many similarities with a previous one she had repaired. She followed the repair procedure from memory, mimicking the process. After twenty minutes of tinkering, Xiaomeng successfully got the machine running again.
Xiaomeng graduated from university a year ago and started training at this company. When she first arrived, the supervisor informed her that three other girls would be joining her during the training period, and only those who stood out would remain.
From then on, Xiaomeng took advantage of every opportunity to deliver documents to various departments, observing the behavior and work methods of experienced employees. Every time she delivered documents to the marketing department, she would stay longer to learn. Over time, she acquired a lot of practical marketing knowledge that textbooks couldn't offer.
To sell the company’s products effectively, familiarity with them was essential. To become more familiar with the products, Xiaomeng volunteered to train in the workshop. Her hard work paid off as she quickly mastered all the procedures for the company's main products. She moved around the workshop daily, working tirelessly but happily.
The technical department was adjacent to the production workshop so that technicians could promptly address any issues that arose during production. When technicians went to the workshop to guide workers and solve technical problems, Xiaomeng persistently requested permission to observe and assist them. Seeing her eagerness to learn, the supervisor always allowed her to "steal skills."
Once, a machine in the workshop broke down, and workers came to the R&D department asking for a technician to fix it. A technician was sent but failed to identify the problem after some time and left to report back to the supervisor, requesting technical support. Coincidentally, all the technicians were out that day, leaving no expert available to fix the machine. The workshop director was extremely anxious because the company had just received a large order from an overseas trading company to produce a batch of ceramic constructions. Workers had been working overtime for three days straight to meet the client’s deadline. If this machine couldn’t be fixed, it would directly affect the delivery schedule, and the company would have to pay a significant penalty for breach of contract.
Seeing the worried look on the workshop director’s face, Xiaomeng, who had been observing, offered to give it a try. The workshop director looked her up and down skeptically and said, "You? Can you do it?"
Xiaomeng humbly replied, "I know I’m not a professional, and I’m not sure if I can fix it, but let me try. Maybe I can fix it. Consider it like treating a dead horse as if it were alive. If I fail, the technician can come and fix it later."
The workshop director thought Xiaomeng made sense and thus let her attempt. After thoroughly examining the machine, Xiaomeng noticed many similarities between this one and another she had previously repaired. She followed the repair procedure from memory, mimicking the process. After twenty minutes of tinkering, Xiaomeng finally got the machine running again.
Seeing the machine back in operation, the workshop director was pleased and gave Xiaomeng a thumbs-up: "This girl is really capable! She’s got potential!" Word of Xiaomeng fixing the machine spread quickly among the workers. The general manager also became impressed by Xiaomeng. At the end of the 3-month probation period, Xiaomeng was unanimously chosen as the final winner.
In the workplace, each person occupies their own position. As a newcomer, one must be proactive and determined to find their place. If one cannot find their suitable position, they may soon be discarded or eliminated.
