At this moment, Director Yang, standing to the side, stood there stunned, equally shocked.
He never dreamed that such an important leader would come to inspect the area, and that he seemed to be of extraordinary status, with even a big shot like Minister Wang personally coming out to greet him.
The other steel rolling mill leaders were even more nervous and at a loss, craning their necks and staring intently into the distance, eagerly awaiting the arrival of these mysterious figures.
Time ticked by, and finally, several military jeeps sped up like lightning.
Before the vehicle had even come to a complete stop, a group of smartly dressed soldiers quickly jumped down and formed a tight cordon around the area.
Immediately afterwards, a young military officer slowly stepped out of the car, and his appearance made the atmosphere extremely tense.
When Sun Zhengguo saw who it was, he was stunned, because the young officer was none other than his brother-in-law, Ning Dazhuang!
His eyes widened, his mouth gaped open, and an expression of disbelief crossed his face.
After Ning Dazhuang got out of the car, he looked around and his eyes finally landed on Sun Zhengguo. A slight smile appeared on his lips.
However, he didn't say much, just nodded in response.
Sun Zhengguo saw Ning Dazhuang carrying out his mission but did not go up to disturb him; he simply nodded in acknowledgment.
After a few more minutes of waiting, car horns sounded again in the distance. This time, there were even more vehicles, among which a Hongqi sedan was particularly eye-catching.
Sun Zhengguo stared wide-eyed at the Hongqi sedan, like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world before, his heart filled with curiosity and anticipation.
"They're here!"
"They've really come!"
Excited shouts erupted from the crowd as everyone looked expectantly into the distance, awaiting the arrival of the convoy.
Finally, amidst the cheers of the crowd, a neat convoy appeared at the edge of the road, and the vehicles came to a steady stop in front of the factory gate.
Then, the staff on the bus began to get off one after another. Their movements were quick and orderly, clearly indicating that they had received professional training.
Finally, the door of the Hongqi sedan slowly opened, and a middle-aged soldier in military uniform stepped out of the car.
He stood tall and straight, his steps were steady, and his eyes were sharp as a hawk's, revealing a sense of authority and confidence.
The middle-aged soldier and Ning Dazhuang exchanged a glance, seemingly communicating with each other, before nodding to each other to indicate that everything was normal.
After confirming the situation, the middle-aged soldier turned around and whispered a few words to the people in the car.
The kind-looking old man on the bus seemed uninterested in this, and instead muttered a complaint in a low voice.
"You people always make a mountain out of a molehill. On our own land, would anyone try to harm me?"
The old man shook his head before getting out of the car.
The middle-aged soldier smiled, already used to it, and didn't refute it. He simply followed the old man, remaining vigilant at all times.
The moment the old man got off the bus, the entire factory gate erupted in cheers.
"Look everyone, it's Manager Lai, it's Manager Lai!"
"President Lai! It's actually President Lai! President Lai has come to visit everyone."
"Wow! Oh my god! I saw President Lai! Waaaaah~!"
"..."
Sun Zhengguo was stunned. Who did he see? Lai Zong, alive.
"Clap clap clap...!"
After a brief moment of shock and jubilation, enthusiastic applause erupted at the factory gate and lasted for a long time.
Sun Zhengguo clapped along with everyone to show his welcome, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
After getting out of the car, General Lai briefly glanced around, then waved to the crowd and shook hands with each of the comrades who came to greet him, showing respect and care.
When Mr. Lai walked up to Sun Zhengguo, he quickly stretched out his hands and said excitedly.
"Hello, Mr. Lai! Welcome to our inspection."
"Hello! If I'm not mistaken, you must be Comrade Sun Zhengguo, right? The chief commander of this renovation project is even younger than I expected!"
When he arrived, Mr. Lai had already reviewed Sun Zhengguo's information, which is why he was so familiar with him.
Sun Zhengguo never expected that President Lai would know him. With just a few simple words and his unique personal charm, he was so excited that he almost shed tears.
You should know that, whether in his past life or this life, the person Sun Zhengguo admires most is this kind old man in front of him.
How could he not be excited when the old man was standing right in front of him?
"General Lai, I am Sun Zhengguo. I dare not accept the title of commander-in-chief. It is all for the construction of our motherland."
"Young comrade, not bad, very modest! I've read the report on this renovation project. Your achievements can be described as a qualitative leap for China's steel industry. How about we take a look together?"
"Okay, Mr. Lai."
Sun Zhengguo said excitedly.
The cadres around him all showed expressions of envy and surprise.
They witnessed firsthand how Mr. Lai simply greeted others when shaking hands.
However, when he shook hands with Sun Zhengguo, he displayed a completely different attitude, and the two talked for quite a long time.
What is even more noteworthy is that General Lai specifically requested Sun Zhengguo to accompany him, which undoubtedly demonstrates the high regard he holds for him.
This detail made those present realize that Deputy Section Chief Sun was not only popular, but also had a limitless future.
After a brief welcoming ceremony, General Manager Lai did not go to the conference room for a long talk, but went directly to the hot rolling workshop to inspect the actual situation.
When Mr. Lai walked into the workshop, the workers were excited, but they remained at their posts.
They accepted the General's inspection with warm smiles and high spirits.
Throughout the journey, Sun Zhengguo, as a qualified companion, kept explaining things to Mr. Lai, giving him a more intuitive understanding of these machines.
President Lai nodded repeatedly and praised Sun Zhengguo and others for their efforts.
After visiting the three workshops, Mr. Lai was still somewhat unsatisfied. Since the forging workshop was right next door, everyone went into the forging workshop together.
While Sun Zhengguo wasn't an expert on the working principles of forging machines, he explained them to General Manager Lai with ease.
Sun Zhengguo's explanation of the working principle of the forging machine was thorough and progressive, prompting the leaders present to nod in agreement, indicating their understanding.
"Comrade Sun Zhengguo, this shouldn't be your main focus. I listened to your explanation, and it was very insightful! How did you manage to do it?"
Faced with Mr. Lai's question, Sun Zhengguo remained calm and immediately explained.
"Mr. Lai, although this is not my main field, it belongs to mechanics, which is what I studied. Many of the principles are the same."
"Great! It seems your achievements are no accident. The future of our motherland depends on you! Haha!"
The leaders around them were already used to Lai's praise, and the cadres from the steel rolling mill behind them were no longer envious, because they had heard it so many times that they couldn't possibly be envious.
Liu Haizhong, who was working in the workshop at the time, was shocked when he saw General Manager Lai come to inspect the place.
However, when he saw Sun Zhengguo, his heart was instantly stirred. He was actually standing with Lai Zong, and the two were chatting and laughing.
Liu Haizhong's heart sank to the bottom. Last time, he failed to get the cadres to help him and even tricked Sun Zhengguo, saying that he had no ability and could not get things done.
Could someone who can have a pleasant conversation with Mr. Lai be incompetent?
Liu Haizhong is now filled with regret, so much so that he wants to slap himself.
Why can't I keep my composure?
Perhaps these are just procedures for becoming an official, requiring one to undergo tests.
Clearly, I messed it up. Is there still a chance?
