"No, Deputy Factory Director Liao, what's with that look? It looks weird."
Sun Zhengguo gave Deputy Factory Director Liao a disdainful look and joked.
"Director Sun, you're really tough. Last time, I was humiliated because of the enemy agents. This time, could it be related to you again?"
Deputy Factory Director Liao still looked shaken when he recalled what happened last time.
"Go away, don't drag me into everything. Your feudal and superstitious thinking is unacceptable. Even the old folks have said, 'Down with everything...'"
As the two men were talking, two other men behind them were pushing a cart and pulling parts toward them.
As the two sides drew closer, one of the boys pushing the cart saw Sun Zhengguo and immediately shouted happily.
"cousin."
Hearing the shout, Sun Zhengguo turned around and was surprised to find that the two people pushing the cart were acquaintances.
One of them is his cousin, Lin Jibing, who entered the machinery factory after graduating from junior high school last year and is now an apprentice in the new workshop.
The other person is Liu Guangtian from the courtyard. In the past two years, due to the continuous expansion of the machinery factory, he was fortunate enough to get an apprenticeship at the street office last year.
"Hey! San'er! Guangtian's here too."
"Brother Zhengguo".
Liu Guangtian seemed a little embarrassed and quickly greeted him.
Sun Zhengguo nodded, then said a few words to the two of them, telling them to study the technology carefully.
Since they both had work to do, they couldn't chat there. After promising to study hard, they pushed the parts onto the cart and headed to the workshop.
"What's your relationship with that young man?" As soon as the two left, Deputy Factory Director Liao pointed at Liu Guangtian and asked.
Sun Zhengguo could not possibly be unaware of Deputy Factory Director Liao's intentions.
"We grew up together in the same compound, and we don't usually have any conflicts."
"Okay, I got it. You go ahead and get busy. We'll get together again when we have time."
After speaking, Deputy Factory Director Liao walked towards his office, while Sun Zhengguo walked towards the workshop…
Two days later, the ministry called and asked Sun Zhengguo to come over.
As for what he went there to do? It should be related to what happened a couple of days ago, or maybe he just wanted to comfort himself.
So he called his cousin, and together they drove to the Ministry of Machinery.
As it turned out, just as they arrived at the gate of the Ministry of Machinery, they ran into Director Zhang again.
"Director Sun, thank you. Yu Cheng told me about what happened a couple of days ago, and I also want to thank you for standing up for him." Director Zhang was as polite as ever.
"Not at all, Director Zhang. Even if I hadn't intervened, your nephew wouldn't have had any problems, right?"
"Hehe!" Director Zhang laughed awkwardly after being exposed by Sun Zhengguo.
Indeed, as Sun Zhengguo said, Zhang Yucheng would have been fine even without his intervention.
Although his grandfather was not in the capital, he was still someone that Cheng Wanli, a mere nobody, could not shake.
Even if it's his powerful backer, it won't work!
Seeing Director Zhang's performance, Sun Zhengguo was basically convinced that the Zhang family wielded considerable influence.
However, he didn't ask any further questions, but instead inquired about his own affairs.
"By the way, Director Zhang, what did the ministry want to see me about today? You're well-informed, could you give me a heads-up?"
"Hey! It's definitely a good thing. You'll understand when you get there. Remember, go to the Organization Department first. Minister Hong wants to talk to you."
"The Organization Department wants to talk to me?" Director Zhang's words left Sun Zhengguo a little confused.
The Organization Department talks to people for one purpose only: to prepare for a promotion.
However, apart from the gear hobbing machine, I haven't had any notable achievements during this period.
"Oh well! Whatever, Director Zhang said it's a good thing, let's go and see what happens."
After some random thought, Sun Zhengguo said goodbye to Director Zhang and went to the Organization Department on the third floor.
"Hello, Minister Hong, I heard you wanted to see me."
In the office of the Minister of the Organization Department, when Minister Hong saw this young man again, who was hard to hate, he couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.
Because in this Standing Committee incident, one of his key aides also fell into trouble.
Although he is now safe, the fact that he was dismissed from his post is undeniable.
However, you can't really blame the young man in front of you for all of this. After all, he didn't do anything wrong. Is that wrong?
"Comrade Zhengguo! Please have a seat."
"Thank you, Minister Hong."
After Sun Zhengguo sat down, Minister Hong began the formal conversation.
"Comrade Zhengguo! I won't beat around the bush. The reason I called you here is that the higher-ups think you've performed well and are planning to give you more responsibilities."
"I am here on behalf of the organization to have a formal conversation with you, so I hope you will adjust your mindset and prepare to meet the new challenges."
As expected, Director Zhang was right; it really is a good thing.
However, things happened so suddenly that it caught everyone off guard.
Sun Zhengguo had also gone through the next round of things; it was basically the same thing: you talk, I listen, and then I express my determination.
It wasn't until the final appointment that Sun Zhengguo began to listen attentively.
"Comrade Sun Zhengguo! In order to make long-term plans for the Mechanical Research Institute, the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Machinery Industry has made the following decision."
"Effective immediately, you will serve as the Party Secretary of the Mechanical Research Institute, concurrently holding the position of Director, and will be promoted to the rank of Director-General."
"I hope that in your future work you will be conscientious and dedicated, act in the interests of the Party, the country and the people, be a good leader and strive to create even greater glories."
After Minister Hong finished reading the appointment, it was time for Son Jung-guk to express his determination.
"Thank you to the Party organization, the country for its cultivation, and the leaders of the ministry for their trust. I will certainly live up to the expectations of the Party and the people and do my best in my future work..."
After expressing his determination and accepting the appointment, Minister Hong offered a few words of encouragement before Sun Zhengguo took his leave.
Next, Sun Zhengguo will definitely have to go to Minister Li's place, since there are still some things he hasn't figured out yet.
Although he has been officially promoted this time, Cheng Wanli and his group probably won't come back.
But this doesn't mean things will be fine in the future; the Standing Committee will definitely be reorganized.
What should we do if something goes wrong again?
Sun Zhengguo must get to the bottom of this issue, otherwise who knows what kind of chaos will ensue when the wind picks up?
However, when he arrived at the minister's office, he was told by the staff that Minister Li had gone to a certain courtyard in the Red Wall.
However, Minister Li instructed Sun Zhengguo to wait for him at the ministry.
Well, since he had nothing else to do, Sun Zhengguo went upstairs to change his ID.
“Brother Sun, at this level, other people can’t change their licenses even once in many years. Unlike you, you’ve changed them so many times in just a few years.”
In the personnel department office, Sun Zhengguo was drinking tea, listening to Director Zhang's teasing.
"Brother Zhang, would you believe me if I said I'm not interested in these things?"
Sun Zhengguo's words startled Director Zhang.
What does this sentence mean?
There are indeed such people, but he felt that Sun Zhengguo was definitely not among them.
This is just a humble way of putting it; don't take it seriously, or you'll lose.
