Gu Jiaojiao felt a little embarrassed by the praise.
She hadn't really done much.
Leng Yuan had drawn the blueprints, and he had been the one to build it.
But she couldn't say that, so she could only accept the compliments with a smile.
After they finished praising Gu Jiaojiao, the conversation turned to the thresher she had supposedly made, and then to the other teams that had come to borrow the machines.
Only then did Gu Jiaojiao learn what had happened next.
Just as Chen Beiguo was taking Li Dashan to get the machines, two more team leaders had shown up, also clamoring to borrow one. Li Dashan had originally planned to take them all, but the other leaders wouldn't allow it. In the end, to placate everyone, each team left with one machine.
The ones who arrived later took the smaller one.
Anyone who came after that left with nothing at all.
