Back in his office, Sun Zhengguo first reviewed the files of several of his subordinates.
He has a total of six technicians under him, including four college graduates and two vocational school graduates. The highest-ranking technician is only level 12, and the lowest-ranking technician is only level 16, and none of them have been officially promoted yet.
The biggest problem right now is not just a lack of people, but a lack of high-quality talent.
Although Sun Zhengguo wanted to bring Senior Brother Chen over, he still needed to discuss it with him first. If the other party was unwilling, he couldn't force him.
He was busy like this until noon. After having lunch at the cafeteria, Sun Zhengguo rode his bicycle away from the Ministry of Machinery and headed towards Tsinghua University.
In the faculty office of Tsinghua University, Chen Lianshan, who had just finished lunch, was sitting at his desk grading students' assignments.
To be honest, Chen Lianshan was not willing to become a teacher at all. Facing this unchanging life, he found his previous job less challenging.
However, his abilities were not as good as Sun Zhengguo's, and his organizational affiliation was with the school. Even if he wanted to leave, someone would have to accept him, so he could only drift along.
"Teacher Chen, what are you busy with? You look so focused."
Upon hearing that familiar voice again, Chen Lianshan looked up in surprise.
"Jung-guk, when did you arrive? And you're even joking with me."
"Senior Brother Chen, I just arrived. I saw you were working. I hope I didn't disturb you?"
"Oh dear, I've been so busy talking. Please sit down, please sit down. I'll pour you some tea."
As Chen Lianshan spoke, he stood up, picked up a clean teacup from the table, and prepared to pour water.
"Don't bother, Senior Brother Chen. I haven't been to school for several days and I'm starting to miss the old days. Why don't you come with me for a walk?"
Sun Zhengguo's words startled Chen Lianshan, reminding him of the times the three of them worked together.
yes!
He also missed the old days a little, but time flies and those days are long gone.
Chen Lianshan then put down the thermos in his hand, and the two left the office and walked along the tree-lined avenue of the school.
"Jung-guk, you didn't come to see me specifically today, there must be something you need, right?"
Upon leaving the office, Chen Lianshan asked the first question.
"Senior Brother Chen, how are things going at school? Are you settling in well?"
Sun Zhengguo asked tentatively.
Chen Lianshan did not answer this question, but fell silent.
Sun Zhengguo already had the answer in his heart. Thinking about it, it made sense. In the past, with Professor Wu protecting him, he was always a guest of honor wherever he went.
Now that Professor Wu has left, Chen Lianshan is just a substitute teacher, and it's easy to imagine that he's not doing well.
"Senior Brother Chen, if... I mean, if I asked you to help me, would you be willing?"
Upon hearing Sun Zhengguo's words, Chen Lianshan abruptly stopped, staring at Sun Zhengguo with disbelief in his eyes.
"Senior Brother Chen, don't look at me like that. As long as you nod in agreement, I will definitely find a way to transfer you away, so that we brothers can fight side by side again."
Chen Lianshan's abilities are beyond doubt. Although he is not as good as Sun Zhengguo, it depends on who he is compared to. All of his subordinates combined are not good enough.
This is why Sun Zhengguo insisted on inviting Chen Nianshan; after all, talent is rare.
Seeing Sun Zhengguo's serious expression, Chen Lianshan knew that his junior brother was not lying, and quickly said...
"Jung-guk, you know my dream, and I'm definitely willing to pursue it, but I won't cause you any trouble, will I?"
"Alright! Senior Brother Chen, I'm relieved to hear that. I'll get on it for you this afternoon, and you'll have the results by tomorrow at the latest. Just wait!"
"Jung-guk, thank you, I..."
Seeing that Senior Brother Chen was about to get emotional, Sun Zhengguo interrupted him.
"Alright, Senior Brother Chen, with our relationship, saying thank you would be too formal. Your presence here is also a help to me."
Having successfully won over Senior Brother Chen, the two chatted for a while longer. They were originally going to visit Zheng Wenhua again, but remembering they had other things to do, Sun Zhengguo hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Back at the Ministry of Machinery, when it was time for work to start, Sun Zhengguo took out two packets of tea from his spatial storage, wrapped them in newspaper, and went to the Personnel Department. He found Director Liao, realizing that he didn't have the ability to transfer people across departments.
"Director Liao, I've been wanting to find an opportunity to thank you for your help and guidance. Yesterday, while I was in the countryside, I found this tea to be quite good, so I brought you back two packets. Please try them, and if you're satisfied, I'll bring you some more next time."
As soon as he entered the office, Sun Zhengguo began to express his gratitude.
Director Liao was a shrewd man; how could he not know that this person wanted something from him? He had to give this favorite of Vice Minister Li some face.
"Speak! What is it? As long as it doesn't violate the rules, I'll definitely help if I can."
Director Liao didn't rush to accept the tea, but first emphasized the principles again.
Seeing this, Sun Zhengguo didn't bother beating around the bush and directly stated his purpose.
"Director Liao, as you know, our Technical Section One is short-staffed. Well, I've met a good candidate who's willing to come. However, the transfer issue still needs to be handled by the leadership."
Upon hearing this, Director Liao realized it was about transferring people, which was easy enough, and asked.
"Which organization is it from? What's its name?"
"Chen Lianshan, a substitute teacher at Tsinghua University and my senior classmate, do you remember him, Director Liao?"
Upon hearing the name Chen Lianshan, how could Director Liao not recognize him? This man used to follow Professor Wu and had visited the Ministry of Machinery quite often. He never expected him to be a substitute teacher now.
"He's a teacher now, surely Tsinghua University won't refuse to release him?"
Director Liao also raised his own questions.
If it were a factory, it would be a matter of a word from him, but since it's Tsinghua University, they can completely ignore him.
"Director Liao, don't worry, he's just a substitute teacher. He's unloved by his uncle and grandmother. If Professor Wu hadn't given him instructions before he left, he probably wouldn't even be able to be a substitute teacher."
Although he was somewhat skeptical of Sun Zhengguo's words, Director Liao was prepared to give it a try. After all, how bad could someone be if he could work with Professor Wu?
Director Liao didn't try to avoid Sun Zhengguo and made the call directly.
"Switchboard, connect me to the Personnel Department of Tsinghua University."
In less than a minute, the call was successfully connected. Director Liao spoke with the other party's personnel director for five minutes, and the other party agreed to release the person.
It's not that Tsinghua University doesn't value talent, but Chen Lianshan's qualifications are too shallow. He's definitely not good at teaching, but he can't make a name for himself in research either. That's why they were so generous in letting him go.
After hanging up the phone, Director Liao was in a great mood, but he still had one last question.
"Deputy Section Chief Sun, I sent the letter this afternoon, and the person will arrive tomorrow, but how do we determine his technician level?"
Sun Zhengguo hadn't thought about this problem either. Logically speaking, Chen Lianshan used to receive the salary of a level 12 technical employee, and he should still receive the same salary now that he's been transferred here.
But Director Liao's question clearly had an underlying meaning, and Sun Zhengguo immediately understood his intention.
