At noon, in a private room in the canteen of the First Steel Rolling Mill, seven or eight leaders were sitting inside, raising their glasses in toasts.
People who can sit in this private dining room are all people of high status.
They included three leaders from the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry, three directors of steel rolling mills, Director Tang of the Iron and Steel Research Institute, and Sun Zhengguo.
During this time, the two ministers were very respectful and even personally toasted Sun Zhengguo, which made the factory directors extremely envious.
Just as everyone was having a pleasant conversation, Minister Wang's secretary silently entered the room, took out a report, and handed it to him.
"Sir, the steel quality test results have been completed. Please take a look."
Although the secretary's voice was soft, everyone heard it clearly and fell silent, waiting for the final result.
"Great! This improvement in quality is truly significant."
After reading it, Minister Wang patted the table with delight, and then handed the report to Vice Minister Bai.
"Old Bai, you should see this too. This time it was a great success, and Director Sun should take the credit."
Vice Minister Bai took the report, quickly glanced through it, and then happily passed it on to the next person.
When the report was handed to Sun Zhengguo, he only glanced at it briefly before handing it to Director Tang next to him.
Director Tang is a specialist in steel research, and he is most interested in these data, so he looks at them very carefully.
After reading it, even Director Tang had to admit that Sun Zhengguo was a genius.
Under normal circumstances, the quality of these finished steel products is already determined. However, with secondary processing, the quality can be significantly improved, which is a remarkable achievement.
So he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Director Sun, this has truly opened my eyes. I'm very curious, how did you do it?"
"It's just some minor changes, nothing to mention, but I can't explain it clearly in a short time."
"Director Tang, if you really want to know, I will prepare a detailed report in the next couple of days and submit it to the Ministry of Metallurgy. You can take a look then."
Upon hearing from Sun Zhengguo that there was a detailed report, Director Tang suppressed his curiosity and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Definitely, definitely."
In any case, we can learn from others' experiences and perhaps find a way to improve the quality of steel from the source.
Meanwhile, the arrival of this report made the banquet even more lively and extraordinary.
Sun Zhengguo became the undisputed protagonist.
After finishing their meal, the group prepared to leave. Vice Minister Bai still had a lot to say to Sun Zhengguo.
But he wasn't in a hurry. Anyway, they would meet again in the next couple of days, and they could sit down and talk slowly then.
After seeing off the department leaders, Sun Zhengguo said goodbye and left the No. 1 Steel Rolling Mill amidst Director Gao's repeated expressions of gratitude.
...
Back at the research institute, Sun Zhengguo did not delegate the task to others this time, but chose to complete the report himself.
Since Zhang Yucheng did not participate in the research and development, there are many things that are difficult to describe in words, so he has to do it himself.
He had barely finished writing a single sheet of paper when Zhang Yucheng sneaked in again.
"Director, I just received a call. The ministry has decided that the branch factory will officially start construction the day after tomorrow. Minister Li will come in person to attend the groundbreaking ceremony."
"Oh~!" Sun Zhengguo put down his pen and pondered for a moment.
"Then you should inform the logistics and publicity departments to make preparations, and also inform all cadres that everyone must participate the day after tomorrow."
"Yes, Director."
After dismissing Zhang Yucheng, Sun Zhengguo continued writing his report, sitting there until the workday bell rang…
When he got home that evening and had dinner, Sun Zhengguo remembered what his wife had said, so he decided to take her to see Doctor Hu to have her pulse checked.
The grandfather, who was watching TV, didn't know where his grandson was going, so he casually asked him.
"Jung-guk, where are you going?"
"Grandpa, Xiaowei might be pregnant again. We're going to have Dr. Hu take her pulse and check."
"What?" Grandpa's voice rose several octaves instantly, and he quickly stood up from the stool.
"We can't delay, go quickly! We'll be waiting for your good news at home."
"What are you still standing there for? Xiaowei, hurry up and go! We'll take care of the child." Grandma urged with a smile.
According to the older generation, the more people in the family, the better, since they can afford to raise as many as they want.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Sun Zhengguo replied with a smile, then called Ning Xiaowei to join him as they walked out of the courtyard.
On their way to Dr. Hu's house, the couple walked and chatted.
Ning Xiaowei was worried that if she didn't get pregnant, she would be laughed at, so she started to back out.
"Jung-guk, should we wait a little longer? I'm not reacting at all right now, what if...?"
"Honey, are you afraid of making a mistake? Don't worry, we'll just say we have an upset stomach and ask Doctor Hu to take our pulse. We'll see what he says then, and it'll be a good opportunity to test his medical skills."
Ning Xiaowei was overjoyed when she heard Sun Zhengguo's terrible idea.
"Hehehe! Aren't you just making things worse? How can you ask someone to take your pulse without first explaining the cause of the illness?"
"Don't worry, I can't guarantee anything else, but as long as you really get pregnant, Dr. Hu will definitely not make a mistake. Just follow my lead."
Sun Zhengguo said with absolute certainty.
Actually, he had just had a sudden thought: since his mental power had the ability to penetrate, could he also see through his wife's belly to see if she was pregnant?
But then I thought, no, what if my mental strength is too strong and hurts the baby in my womb?
Ultimately, Sun Zhengguo rejected the idea; he wouldn't conduct such an experiment even on someone else's wife.
Soon, the two arrived at Dr. Hu's house, greeted each other, and were led to a small clinic next door.
After sitting down, Dr. Hu began to inquire about the patient's condition, as was his usual practice.
"Zhengguo, what's the situation with your wife? Could you tell me about it?"
"Uncle Hu, my wife is feeling a bit unwell in her stomach, so I'd like to ask you to take her pulse and see what's wrong?"
"Um!"
Dr. Hu nodded without any suspicion, assuming that Ning Xiaowei was having her period and was too embarrassed to say so.
Then, he took out a special pulse pillow for taking pulses and gestured to it with his eyes.
After Ning Xiaowei placed her hand on the artery, Dr. Hu placed two fingers on her radial artery and gently pressed to feel the pulse.
Soon, Dr. Hu felt that the pulse was strong and powerful, beating smoothly and evenly without any obvious pauses or blockages.
If Dr. Hu, a qualified traditional Chinese medicine doctor, didn't know what was going on, he might as well go find a block of tofu and smash his head against it.
But he didn't stop; instead, he switched to the other hand and tried again, but the result was the same.
At this point, Dr. Hu understood the situation and gestured for him to remove his hand, then looked at Sun Zhengguo with a smile.
"What's wrong, Zhengguo? Are you going to test your Uncle Hu's medical skills? But first of all, congratulations on becoming a father again."
"real?"
Sun Zhengguo, no longer caring about his embarrassment, hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
"Thank you, thank you...! Thank you, Uncle Hu."
"You are welcome."
While tidying up the pulse pillow, Dr. Hu explained some specific details and precautions.
Sun Zhengguo and his wife listened very attentively.
After the consultation, Sun Zhengguo paid the consultation fee, and the two then headed towards the courtyard house.
