"Dear neighbors, I've finished telling my story. Everyone needs to go home for dinner, so please disperse now!"
Seeing that everyone was still very enthusiastic, Sun Zhengguo could only make up that lame excuse to run home.
When I got home, my wife stopped me again and kept asking me questions.
Sun Zhengguo was finally able to have some peace and quiet after dinner.
However, there was one more thing he needed to ask his mother's opinion about.
Just then, Lin Wencui finished washing the dishes, and Sun Zhengguo gestured for her to sit down first, and then said.
"Mom, I have something to tell you! I don't know what your opinion is?"
"Then tell me what you think, and I'll give you some advice," Lin Wencui said with a smile, smoothing her hair.
"My younger brother is graduating soon, and I'd like to help him get a job in our mechanical engineering department. What do you think?"
"What?" Lin Wencui said in surprise, "Won't this cause some gossip? After all, the two brothers work in the same unit, which can easily lead to speculation."
Sun Zhengguo had considered this issue before. He had even thought about using his connections to get his younger brother assigned to the tractor factory, so that as a superior, he could at least offer some assistance.
But after visiting the steel mill, he realized that since he had the ability to recruit his younger brother, why should he care about what others thought? Hadn't others done this kind of thing countless times?
"Mom, don't worry, Zheng'an is no worse than others. We're hiring normally, and everything is in accordance with regulations. So, do you agree or disagree?"
With her son able to get a job in a ministry and with the help of his own brother, what more could Lin Wencui possibly want?
These days, anyone with connections will try to get into a good workplace. Lin Wencui wasn't the kind of person who was aloof, so she agreed on the spot.
After settling his younger brother's employment issue, Sun Zhengguo began organizing his report.
This time, he was prepared to remain silent until he made a stunning debut, demonstrating his determination to his superiors.
In this report, he proposed a three-pronged approach, simultaneously modifying three different models of machine tools.
Therefore, he revised the report again and again, being extremely careful, until he was satisfied before going to bed.
The next morning, just as Vice Minister Li arrived at work, Sun Zhengguo walked in with a report.
"Vice Minister Li, I have completed the report on the renovation plan. Please take a look."
After Sun Zhengguo finished speaking, he handed the report in his hand to Vice Minister Li.
Vice Minister Li reached out and took the report, smiling as he praised, "As fast as ever, let me see."
After speaking, Vice Minister Li carefully looked at the report, and soon his brows furrowed slightly.
Sun Zhengguo had anticipated this situation, and his expression remained unchanged as he quietly waited to the side.
After a long while, Vice Minister Li put down the report in his hand, looking somewhat incredulous, yet at the same time deeply trusting Sun Zhengguo, appearing very conflicted.
"How confident are you?" Vice Minister Li was not angry at the arrogance in the report, but asked in a calm tone.
“Vice Minister Li, if I said I was 100% sure, that would be disrespectful to scientific research. How about this? I'll make a concession and reduce it by 10%, so I'm probably 90% sure!”
Sun Zhengguo continues his penchant for making startling statements, as if he were stating a fact.
"Good! That's decisive. I approve this report. If there are any problems, I'll face them with you."
After Vice Minister Li finished speaking, he signed his name on the report, which is enough to show how much he trusted Sun Zhengguo.
"Thank you, Vice Minister Li. Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down. I will go back and arrange for the project to be approved right away."
"Okay! I wish you success in advance!"
After Sun Zhengguo left, Vice Minister Li calmed down and thought about it. What kind of spell had this kid cast on him? How did he end up signing the document in such a daze?
But now that he's already signed, he can't just take it back and say the organization will look into it again; he can't afford to lose face like that.
Meanwhile, Sun Zhengguo, back in his office, immediately called Wang Jianshe over and gave him instructions.
"Jianshe, make a call and tell your staff to work hard to draw up the blueprints for the C616, C620, and X62W machine tools. The timeframe is 3 days. Everyone should report to the ministry after 3 days."
"Yes, Section Chief."
Upon receiving the instruction, Wang Jianshe immediately went out to make a phone call to inform others.
Sun Zhengguo originally wanted to go to the factory to investigate in person, but the modification of these three types of machine tools was a piece of cake for him, so he decided to stay in the department and wait for the blueprints.
With nothing else to do, Sun Zhengguo thought about hiring again and decided to take advantage of the free time to get it done quickly.
So he took out two small packets of tea from his spatial storage and prepared to visit his old friend, Director Liao.
In the personnel office on the second floor, Director Liao was looking at the reports in his hand. A batch of students would be graduating soon, and the department had a large staff shortage, so this was a good opportunity to fill the gap.
However, there are some tricks to recruiting people. The department has a wide promotion channel and good benefits. Before the recruitment even started, many people with connections had already made arrangements.
Director Liao is now preparing to coordinate how many people with connections there are and where they should be placed.
"Director Liao, what are you busy with? I hope I'm not disturbing your work?"
Director Liao looked up and saw that it was Sun Zhengguo. He put down the report in his hand and said with a smile.
"So it's Deputy Section Chief Sun. Please have a seat. Deputy Minister Li has already spoken to you about the recruitment for your section. There are still four positions short, and we'll fill them all for you this time."
Sun Zhengguo didn't stand on ceremony. After sitting down, he took out several packets of tea from his bag and placed them on Director Liao's desk.
"Director Liao, I bet you've finished the tea I brought you last time! So, I went to the countryside a few days ago and brought you some more."
Director Liao was taken aback upon hearing this, but then realized that this person wanted something from him.
“What problem has Deputy Section Chief Sun encountered this time? Why don’t you tell me, and I’ll give you some advice.”
The two were old acquaintances, so Sun Zhengguo didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.
"Director Liao, our department has four openings, and I'm planning to designate two of them. Do you think this is feasible?"
Director Liao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this request. If he could help Sun Zhengguo with this matter, he could freely use the remaining two spots. Everyone would understand without saying a word, and it would be a win-win situation for everyone!
"Sure, but the school requires the major to be relevant, and I must have control over the remaining spots."
"We'll do as you say."
Sun Zhengguo agreed to Director Liao's suggestion without even thinking about it. Wasn't it just a favored person? Even if he hadn't agreed, the person who was supposed to come would still come.
"Then tell me their school and their names."
“Okay, Director Liao,” Sun Zhengguo said. “The first one is Zheng Wenhua from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Tsinghua University, and the second one is Sun Zheng’an from the College of Agricultural Mechanization.”
Upon hearing the name Sun Zheng'an, Director Liao was momentarily stunned, but he quickly covered it up.
Come to think of it, since he's a person with connections, he must be related to Sun Zhengguo. As long as there's no violation of regulations, what business is it of his?
There are so many people with connections in the department, one more won't make a difference.
