Back in the workshop, Sun Zhengguo immediately called Chen Lianshan over, intending to discuss some matters with him.
"Director, congratulations!"
As soon as the two met, Chen Lianshan offered his congratulations.
"Since Senior Brother Chen has already received the news, I don't need to waste any more words. The reason I called you here is to ask you whether you would like to continue working in the Mechanical Department, or come and work with me?"
"Director, what are you saying? Of course, we'll follow you." Chen Lianshan said the result without even thinking.
Sun Zhengguo was very satisfied with the result, as it was exactly what he had expected.
"Alright, let's discuss how to set up the Mechanical Research Institute and what kind of charter we need. Also, ask the technicians in our First Section whether they want to stay or return to the Ministry of Machinery."
"Okay, Director, I'll go ask right now. I want to see which bastard dares not to stay."
After Chen Lianshan finished speaking, he prepared to return to the workshop to take care of this matter first.
"etc!"
"Is there anything else, Director?" Chen Lianshan asked, turning around.
"Senior Brother Chen, remember this: whether someone wants to leave or stay, it's entirely voluntary. We're not bandits; you can't force things, understand?"
"Hehehe! Got it."
Chen Lianshan gave an awkward laugh before returning to the workshop.
When Chen Lianshan returned, the result was as expected: everyone was willing to stay and join the Mechanical Research Institute.
After all, no one is stupid. The new unit has a lot of vacancies right now. As long as we follow the steps, promotion is just a matter of time.
The two then began to discuss the initial issues of the research institute.
The two of them spent the afternoon making some progress.
First of all, there's no need to discuss the director; it's undoubtedly Sun Zhengguo.
As for the deputy director? Neither of them has the authority to appoint one; they can only wait for arrangements from higher authorities or leave the position vacant for the time being.
Secondly, the entire mechanical research institute is divided into two departments, a liaison group, a processing group, a logistics group, and so on.
Because the research institute focuses on technology, both departments are purely technical.
The first technical department is still led by Chen Lianshan, while the second technical department is currently just a framework and can be expanded as needed.
The liaison group is responsible for coordinating production and inspecting products among various units. Therefore, it also requires certain technical skills, which can be recruited from schools or transferred directly from other units.
Needless to say, the processing group definitely needs some skilled front-line workers; novices won't do. You can find them directly within the machine factory.
The last logistics group is easy to understand; all issues related to hygiene, meals, and supplies are managed by the logistics department.
As for other issues, it depends on how the higher-ups arrange things.
Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past two days, Sun Zhengguo has also discussed with Chen Lianshan or sought the opinions of his subordinates many times, and has already drafted a number of rules and regulations.
That morning, not long after Sun Zhengguo arrived at work, he received a call from the Machinery Department, informing everyone to return for a meeting.
Upon receiving this notification, Sun Zhengguo immediately gathered all the technical personnel and rushed to the Ministry of Machinery without hesitation.
The group had just returned to the Ministry of Machinery and hadn't even had a chance to catch their breath when they received an urgent notice requiring them to assemble immediately in the auditorium.
Despite some doubts, everyone quickly headed to the designated location.
When they arrived at the auditorium, they were surprised to find a prominent banner hanging above the hall that read, "Warmly celebrate Comrade Sun Zhengguo's receipt of the May Day Labor Medal."
It was only then that Sun Zhengguo realized that this was a commendation ceremony held specifically for him, and that he was the protagonist of this grand event.
The commendation ceremony began promptly at 9:30 a.m. Almost all leaders and staff of the Machinery Department were present, and the auditorium was packed.
This conference was personally presided over by Comrade Liu Chengfeng, a member of the Standing Committee of the Ministry of Machinery Industry.
He first explained the purpose of the conference to the attendees, and then, in an enthusiastic tone, gave a detailed introduction to Sun Zhengguo's research achievements.
After Committee Member Liu finished introducing these great achievements, Minister Duan began his formal speech.
Of course, these are all old clichés: under the leadership of the organization and with the care of superiors, Comrade Sun Zhengguo has been courageous in innovation and hard work, and has achieved remarkable results, and so on.
After Minister Duan finished speaking, Vice Minister Li, as the head of the special task force, also delivered a passionate speech.
About an hour later, the most important moment of the conference finally arrived—the awarding of medals and certificates of honor.
At this moment, the host loudly announced: "Next, please welcome Comrade Sun Zhengguo to the stage to receive the award!"
Sun Zhengguo had almost forgotten the purpose of his attendance at the meeting. When his name was suddenly called from the podium, he snapped back to reality, stood up without hesitation, and walked toward the front of the room.
After he stepped onto the stage, the leaders came forward one after another to shake his hand and express their warm congratulations.
Sun Zhengguo responded very politely, "Thank you for your recognition, leaders. I will continue to work hard and strive for even greater achievements!"
Finally, Minister Duan personally pinned the shining medal on Sun Zhengguo and handed him a beautifully crafted certificate.
After the awards ceremony, in accordance with tradition, Sun Zhengguo was required to give a brief acceptance speech.
Although he hadn't prepared beforehand, it was no challenge for him.
He cleared his throat and said, "Respected leaders, dear colleagues! Good morning everyone."
His voice was clear and loud, as if carrying an invisible force, which immediately silenced the entire room, and everyone listened attentively to his speech.
"First of all, I would like to thank the organization for giving me this honor. It is a recognition of my past efforts and an expectation for the future. At the same time, I would also like to thank all the leaders present and my colleagues for their continued support and encouragement."
After saying this, Sun Zhengguo bowed to both the stage and the audience to express his gratitude.
"Clap clap clap...!"
The hall erupted in enthusiastic applause.
After the applause subsided, Sun Zhengguo continued, "As a Party member, I am deeply aware of the great responsibility I bear, and I am willing to dedicate my entire life to it..."
"Clap clap clap...!"
Sun Zhengguo's words were full of passion and infectious energy, perfectly stirring everyone's emotions, and the applause came one after another.
"Finally, I would like to thank my leaders and colleagues again for their support and help. I will cherish today's honor even more."
"Looking to the future, I will dedicate my utmost enthusiasm and utmost rigor to the cause of socialist construction, and strive for it throughout my life. Thank you all."
"Clap clap clap...!"
As the speech concluded, thunderous applause erupted in the auditorium and lasted for a long time.
