Sun Zhengguo knew what Vice Minister Li was worried about, so he quickly tried to comfort him.
"Vice Minister Li, don't worry. I have verified this drawing multiple times, and there will absolutely be no errors. The problem you should be considering now is what to do if there aren't enough machine tools to go around?"
"Hahaha!" Vice Minister Li was also amused; he genuinely hoped for that.
Even if he really gets a headache from the assignment, let him suffer for a while longer, so he can experience the feeling of pain mixed with pleasure.
Production here has officially started, but Secretary Zhang, who is coordinating parts production outside, has also encountered difficulties.
Most of the parts on the list have been found to be manufactured, but there are three remaining parts for which we simply cannot find manufacturers.
Left with no other option, Secretary Zhang had to find Sun Zhengguo and explain the situation to him.
Sun Zhengguo was helpless in these matters. In the end, he found a place in Shanghai that could produce these parts through his connections in the Ministry of Machinery.
With this clue, Secretary Zhang went all out and immediately went to Shanghai, finally finding these factories and completing an important step in the production of the new machine tools.
Five or six days passed in the blink of an eye, and the original drawings for the new machine tool were also delivered urgently. There were no problems with production these past few days, and everything was developing in a positive direction.
After lunch that day, Sun Zhengguo was about to rest when Zhou Weimin suddenly called him back.
"Deputy Director Sun, can we find a quiet place to talk?"
These past few days, Sun Zhengguo had been so busy with work that he had almost forgotten about the matter if his brother-in-law hadn't called him. So he nodded, and the two went to a secluded spot nearby.
"What? Zhou Weimin, have you thought it through?"
"Yes, Deputy Director Sun, I've figured it out."
Upon hearing Zhou Weimin's words, Sun Zhengguo's face immediately darkened.
He never expected that this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes would betray him; a simple test was all it took for him to reveal his true colors.
"Tell me! Do you want money, or do you want to become an official?"
When Sun Zhengguo said this, he had already made up his mind: "Whichever you choose, I will not keep my promise. Let's see what you can do to me."
“Deputy Director Sun, I still choose to persist. Even if you disagree, I will not give up.”
After saying this, Zhou Weimin closed his eyes in anguish, as if awaiting final judgment.
After all, making such a choice is really difficult; if you're not careful, you could end up packing your bags and leaving.
However, after waiting for a while without receiving a response, Zhou Weimin opened his eyes.
Looking around, Sun Zhengguo was nowhere to be seen, he muttered to himself.
"What does this mean? Whether it succeeds or not, you should at least give me an answer."
In fact, Sun Zhengguo had already tacitly agreed in his heart, but he was angry just looking at Zhou Weimin. He had helped him, but Zhou Weimin had even dragged his sister into it. No wonder he couldn't give him a good look.
Undeterred by the lack of results, Zhou Weimin sought out Sun Zheng'an.
"Zheng'an, I just talked to your older brother and confronted him directly, but he didn't say a word and treated me like I wasn't there. What's going on?"
After hearing Zhou Weimin's description, Sun Zheng'an understood his elder brother's intention. He neither expressed his opinion nor objected, which was considered tacit agreement.
So he followed in his older brother's footsteps, rolled his eyes at Zhou Weimin, said nothing, and then strode away.
Zhou Weimin was left alone at the scene, standing bewildered in the wind.
In the evening, the two brothers returned to their courtyard after get off work. Since tomorrow is the weekend, Sun Zhenghong was also there today.
When Sun Zhenghong saw her older brother get off work, although she was still angry, she knew that in the end, her brother would have to make the final decision on her marriage.
Left with no other choice, he could only smile and fawn over her.
"Big brother, you're back. Let me help you with your bag."
"Hmm!" Sun Zhengguo responded indifferently, without showing any displeasure, and handed the briefcase directly to his sister.
After all, he had no grudge against his sister, and Zhou Weimin had passed the test.
"Big brother, I'm sorry. I apologize for what happened last time. After all, you care about me, right? I shouldn't have given you a hard time and said some hurtful things."
Seeing his younger sister using a roundabout tactic, Sun Zhengguo simply smiled and watched her without saying a word.
Sun Zheng'an, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but tease, "Little sister, you're always helping your older brother carry his bag, so I, the second brother, am no longer your older brother. Why are you treating me differently?"
After saying that, Sun Zheng'an handed the bag to Sun Zhenghong and winked, indicating that she should take it first.
Seeing that his second brother's eyes seemed to be pointing something, Sun Zhenghong took his briefcase without hesitation, and the group walked into the main room together.
When Lin Wencui saw that all her family members had returned, she prepared to eat.
During the meal, Lin Wencui suddenly remembered something and asked about it.
"Jung-guk, are you free tomorrow?"
"Mom, I'm free tomorrow, why are you asking?" Sun Zhengguo asked, puzzled.
"Hey! It's nothing big. Liu Haizhong's son is getting married tomorrow, and I don't know what she was thinking, but she insisted on inviting you to dinner. She told me last night that you absolutely have to give her face."
"Mom, you know that Second Uncle is obsessed with officialdom. Our eldest brother is a deputy director, so this is a good opportunity to build a relationship with him. What else can we do?"
Sun Zheng'an's words revealed the Second Uncle's motives.
After listening, Lin Wencui nodded, agreeing with her youngest son's statement, "Zhengguo, are you still going?"
"Of course I'll go. I even asked his two sons for help when I got married. And tomorrow is the weekend, so it wouldn't be right not to go."
After Sun Zhengguo finished speaking, he didn't take it seriously and continued eating.
Sun Zhenghong wanted to speak up several times to talk about her own affairs, but seeing how harmonious the atmosphere was, she held back.
After everyone finished eating, Sun Zhenghong took the initiative to clear the dishes and made a cup of tea for her grandfather and eldest brother.
Sun Zheng'an, who was standing to the side, was so angry that his teeth itched. He was being treated differently again.
Sun Zhengguo took a sip of tea, and then, under his sister's expectant gaze, finally spoke.
"Zheng Hong, if I disagree, will you hate me for the rest of your life?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Zhenghong quickly shook her head. "No, no, big brother, I know you love me the most and definitely hope I marry into a good family, but I really like Zhou Weimin. I hope you can grant my wish."
"I've thought it through, and I won't regret it."
"I've thought it through. I don't regret it. I firmly believe that my choice is the right one. Please grant my request, brother."
Sun Zhenghong said firmly.
Seeing the determined look in his younger sister's eyes, whom he had doted on since childhood, Sun Zhengguo affectionately patted her head.
"Silly girl, your brother has never stopped you. This was just a test from beginning to end, but the result is clear today."
Hearing this, Sun Zhenghong breathed a sigh of relief, then asked nervously.
"And what was the result?"
"The result? Hmph! Although that kid passed the test, I ignored him. Who told him to trick my sister away?"
Just as Sun Zhengguo finished speaking, Sun Zhengan added, "That kid even came to ask me questions. He has no manners at all. He didn't even call me Brother Ju. I ignored him."
"Hahaha……!"
Sun Zheng'an's rant caused his family to burst into laughter.
Only Sun Zhenghong had tears in her eyes. She understood what her two brothers meant; to put it bluntly, they still couldn't bear to part with her and felt sorry for her.
"Thank you, eldest brother! Thank you, second brother!"
