In the research institute's office, Zhou Weimin, who had just finished eating, was enjoying a cup of tea when a voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Hey! You seem to be having a good time."
Upon hearing the sound, Zhou Weimin looked up and immediately panicked, quickly standing up.
"Dad, what brings you here?"
Sun Dajiang no longer held any prejudice against his son-in-law, and seeing his flustered state, he felt a little embarrassed.
He was still wondering if he had scared him again, so he quickly said something to reassure him.
"Weimin, don't be nervous. I was just running errands at the factory next door and stopped by to see you."
"Oh, Dad, please sit down quickly, I'll make you some tea."
Seeing that Sun Dajiang spoke in a gentle tone, Zhou Weimin also became more lively and immediately prepared to make tea.
"No, no, Weimin, your older brother is already soaking in the bath. I just came to see you, say a few words and then leave."
"oh oh!"
Zhou Weimin scratched his head, then sat down again, looking embarrassed.
"..."
The father-in-law and son-in-law exchanged a few awkward words. Seeing that his son-in-law was always reserved, Sun Dajiang quickly finished his conversation and went to his son's office.
Sun Zhengguo had already brewed tea and was waiting for his father to come over.
Sun Dajiang entered the office, looked around for a moment, and then, without any greeting, sat down and took a nice sip of tea.
"Dad, how are you feeling?"
"Hmm! The tea is very good, and the office is quite spacious."
Sun Dajiang put down his teacup, smiled, and suddenly changed the subject.
Are you showing off to your father?
"Hey Dad, what are you thinking? What am I bragging about? I just want to ask you how you feel after drinking so much?"
"Not bad. You know how much your dad can drink, and with your connections as Director Sun, who would dare to force me to drink?"
After exchanging a few jokes, Sun Dajiang got down to business.
"Zhengguo, tell me honestly, what will be the scale of your new workshop in the future? That way I can prescribe the right medicine and plan the most perfect production line for you, so that we don't have to make changes later."
“Okay, Dad, you're already thinking ahead. Let me tell you, Mr. Lai is very interested in this new workshop. The future expansion prospects are limitless. It would be best to open a separate production line…”
After listening to his son's intermittent account, Sun Dajiang had a basic understanding of the situation.
Since the higher-ups are paying close attention and General Manager Lai has given his endorsement, let's just make it bigger and stronger, and strive to ensure that it won't need to be modified again within ten years.
The father and son talked for a long time. With his son's guidance, Sun Dajiang happily left the research institute, ready to go back and make a big splash...
Three days later, Sun Dajiang worked overtime and finally completed the blueprints.
He then excitedly carried the planning map and ran all the way to Director Wang's office.
"Director Wang, this is the renovation plan for the machine tool workshop of the machinery factory. Could you please take a look and see if there are any areas that need improvement?"
When Director Wang, who was drinking tea, heard what Sun Dajiang said, he almost spat out his tea.
"Oh dear! Deputy Director Sun, what are you saying? I don't even dare to respond. We're about the same level, and in some aspects I'm even inferior to you. What are you doing?"
"Hehehe!" Sun Dajiang laughed awkwardly. "Director Wang, this project is a bit big. I can't make the decision on my own. You have to review it personally."
"Oh! Let me see."
Director Wang took the blueprints with a puzzled look in his eyes, thinking to himself, "It's just a matter of changing the wiring, why are you making such a fuss?"
However, after he finished looking at the entire blueprint, he was completely dumbfounded, and even his speech became somewhat stammering.
"No, what... what are all these things? Deputy Director Sun, are you serious?"
"Director Wang, is there a problem with these blueprints?"
Sun Dajiang was also completely bewildered, but Director Wang didn't care and continued pointing at the blueprints.
“Look at these blueprints. This is no longer just about replacing the wiring. If we follow your design, it’s like rebuilding the entire circuit system of a large factory.”
Hearing Director Wang's explanation, Sun Dajiang breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the problem wasn't with the blueprints.
He then explained, "Director Wang, I'm not exaggerating. With this kind of power configuration, it's hard to say whether it can last for ten years."
“Deputy Director Sun, I can’t make this decision myself. Why don’t I go with you to see Director Zhou and see what he has to say?”
Director Wang no longer wanted to dwell on this issue; he truly had no authority to make such a decision.
But Sun Dajiang was, after all, a deputy director, and he had no right to negate his work.
"All right!"
Sun Dajiang had no choice but to compromise, and the two of them took the blueprints and went to Director Zhou's office.
Director Zhou, who was working, stopped what he was doing when he saw the two section chiefs coming over and casually asked them a question.
"Director Wang, Deputy Director Sun, is there something you need to see me about?"
"Director Zhou, it's nothing serious. Please take a look at this drawing first."
As he spoke, Director Wang placed the blueprints on Director Zhou's desk.
Director Zhou casually unfolded the blueprints and began to look at them by himself.
After he finished looking at the entire drawing, he was filled with doubts and casually rolled up the drawing to ask a question.
"Director Wang, if I remember correctly, there don't seem to be any newly built large-scale units these days. What's the meaning of you having these blueprints?"
Upon hearing Director Zhou's question, Section Chief Wang immediately gave Sun Dajiang a look, as if to say, "You explain."
Sun Dajiang understood his look, nodded, and then spoke.
"Director Zhou, this is the layout plan of the machine tool workshop in the machinery factory. Their machine tool workshop has been expanding since its initial construction, and it will likely continue to do so in the future."
"Therefore, in order to avoid the long-term waste of manpower and resources to remodel and upgrade it, it is better to do it well once and for all to avoid unnecessary waste."
After listening to Sun Dajiang's explanation, Director Zhou was still a little puzzled.
"Deputy Director Sun, you've said so much, but what's your basis for it? How do you know he'll keep expanding?"
Upon hearing Director Zhou's words, Section Chief Wang, who had come with him, also showed a hint of doubt.
Yes! What's the basis for that? I should have asked before I came.
Despite the two men's questioning gazes, Sun Dajiang remained completely calm.
"Director Zhou, the news about the expansion of the machine tool workshop is absolutely true. My son told me this, so there's no doubt about it."
"What your son said?!" Director Zhou nearly fainted from anger.
He never expected that Sun Dajiang would be so unreliable.
To draw up blueprints based solely on what his son said—is he out of his mind?
At this moment, Director Wang, who had accompanied them, was also in a very bad mood.
He couldn't understand why Sun Dajiang's reasoning was so simple.
If the occasion weren't so inappropriate, he really would have liked to ask, "Who do you think your son is?"
