"Political Commissar Yang, why don't we go in? Now that he's resigning, isn't this the perfect time to recruit him?"
"A guard asked from inside the military jeep that had just left."
"It's better to offer help in times of need than to add flowers to brocade. That kid has already shown promise. Didn't you see the Ministry of Machinery's cars parked outside? I think that's a better place for him."
Although Political Commissar Yang felt regretful, he was definitely a reasonable person.
If Sun Zhengguo had nowhere to go, he would definitely recruit people, but it's different now. Look at all those cars parked outside. These people couldn't possibly be here visiting relatives, so their purpose is self-evident.
Director Liao felt a little relieved when he saw the military vehicle leave. He hadn't expected that Sun Zhengguo had some kind of magic that even the military had been mobilized.
However, he couldn't worry about that now. He just needed to get through this hurdle first and hope that Sun Zhengguo hadn't agreed to anything else yet.
"Excuse me, ma'am, could you please give me directions?"
"I'll take you there!"
"Thank you, thank you!"
As soon as the two arrived at the door, they saw Sun Zhengguo seeing Director Gao off.
"Gao Changchang, it's you!"
"Director Liao, it's been a long time. I didn't expect to run into you here."
The two were acquaintances, but they didn't expect to run into each other on this occasion, which made both of them a little awkward.
At this moment, both sides had their own agendas. Director Liao was afraid that if Director Gao succeeded in recruiting him, not only would his trip have been in vain, but he would also have difficulty explaining himself back to his old leader.
Factory Director Gao was even more worried because Sun Zhengguo had clearly rejected him, saying he would wait for Vice Minister Bai to return before discussing it further, which meant that he still intended to stay in the Ministry of Metallurgy.
But Director Liao is not in the same system as me. If Sun Zhengguo joins the Ministry of Machinery, it will be difficult to find him again if I need anything in the future!
With ulterior motives, Director Gao greeted them with a grim expression and hurriedly left.
Seeing Director Gao's departing figure, Director Liao introduced himself.
"Hello, Comrade Sun Zhengguo, I am Liao Zhongyuan, the director of the Personnel Department of the Ministry of Machinery Industry. May we come in and have a chat?"
Sun Zhengguo readily agreed and politely welcomed the man into the house, then brewed him a cup of tea.
"Thank you! Comrade Zhengguo, I won't beat around the bush and will speak frankly. Today, I've been entrusted by Vice Minister Li to invite you to join our Ministry of Machinery. I wonder what your thoughts are?"
Faced with Director Liao's straightforward remarks, Sun Zhengguo thought for a moment. In fact, the Ministry of Machinery was where he should have gone. If it weren't for Professor Wu, he probably wouldn't have been assigned to the Ministry of Metallurgy.
However, what if you get into the Ministry of Machinery and encounter such a scumbag leader as in the Ministry of Metallurgy?
"What? Do you have any concerns? Feel free to speak up, and let's have an open and honest discussion."
"Director Liao, do you know why I suddenly resigned?"
Director Liao really didn't know that? He could only shake his head.
Sun Zhengguo did not choose to hide it and explained the reasons for his resignation again.
Team Leader Liao was naturally furious upon hearing this, but he also understood that the system wasn't always so clean, and there were always some bad apples.
"I roughly understand what you mean. You're afraid that if you join the Ministry of Machinery, you'll be subject to various restrictions that will make it difficult to carry out your work, right?"
Sun Zhengguo nodded and said, "So, how does Director Liao plan to resolve this issue?"
"Don't worry, Vice Minister Li has already made arrangements. He will appoint you as the deputy head of the first technical section. There will be no head above you, so you will be less constrained and can focus on your research."
Director Liao had put it that way, and Sun Zhengguo was somewhat tempted, but he didn't agree immediately.
"Director Liao, this arrangement is quite good, but I have one last request. If you can agree to it, I can consider joining the Mechanical Department."
What are the requirements?
Director Liao asked impatiently.
He could see the light at the end of the tunnel, and he couldn't let Sun Zhengguo get away with it any longer! As long as the request wasn't too unreasonable, he could agree to it on the spot.
"You should know that a while ago, a few of us were preparing to modify the rolling mill, and we had already made some progress. Just when we were about to get started, Professor Wu was suddenly transferred, and then this incident happened to me, which is why it has been delayed until now. So I thought..."
Director Liao understood Sun Zhengguo's meaning: they were preparing to continue this work.
So he didn't mince words and immediately expressed his opinion.
"We can agree to this request, but on the condition that you first join our Ministry of Machinery, and then we will second you to the Ministry of Metallurgy. How does this arrangement sound?"
"Can!"
Sun Zhengguo agreed without hesitation.
In fact, he had been waiting for the Ministry of Machinery to come and recruit him all along; his ultimate goal was to get into the Ministry of Machinery.
"Comrade Sun Zhengguo! Welcome to the Ministry of Machinery."
Director Liao happily extended his hand, and the two shook hands tightly.
"Comrade Zhengguo! Now that I've agreed to your request, shall we go and complete the onboarding procedures?"
"So urgent."
"Oh! Comrade Zhengguo, don't underestimate your abilities. I'm scared! You know what? I patted my chest and assured Vice Minister Li that I would definitely bring you back to the Ministry of Machinery."
"hehe!"
Sun Zhengguo just smiled faintly, locked the door a moment later, and then, without even riding his bicycle, got into Vice Minister Li's car and went to the Ministry of Machinery to complete his onboarding procedures.
Back at the Machinery Department, Director Liao immediately arranged for someone to help Sun Zhengguo with his onboarding procedures, while he himself had to report to Vice Minister Li.
"Comrade Zhengguo! You go through the onboarding procedures first. I'll go report to Vice Minister Li so he can rest assured."
"Director Liao, please go ahead and take care of your business!"
After exchanging greetings, Director Liao went to report on his work, while Sun Zhengguo was busy with his onboarding procedures.
After the formalities were completed, I picked up the new work permit again. In the job title column, it not only said "Level 10 Technician" but also added the words "Level 18 Cadre".
"How is it? Are you satisfied?"
Director Liao, standing behind Sun Zhengguo, said with a smile.
To be honest, having an extra title meant an extra 20 yuan in salary, which Sun Weiguo didn't care too much about.
The key point is that, starting today, he has a job again, which also saves his family from worrying about him.
However, since Director Liao asked, Sun Zhengguo couldn't just remain silent.
"Very satisfied, thank you for your help, Director Liao."
"No need to thank me, it's because you have the ability. Come on, I'll take you to see the new office."
Next, the two went to see the office. Looking at the large and spacious office, Sun Zhengguo expressed his satisfaction, saying that it was much better than the previous four-person room.
After showing Sun Zhengguo around the office, Director Liao introduced him to the other colleagues in the department.
Their technical department, including Sun Zhengguo, only has 7 people at most, which is still a serious shortage of personnel. They need to continue to expand recruitment, and he needs to handle all of this himself so that he can build his own team.
The new colleagues, seeing how young the newly appointed deputy section chief was, none of them were foolish enough to raise any questions; they all expressed their warm welcome.
