The next morning, Yan Bugui took 100 yuan with him and prepared to go to the school to pay the fine.
"Honey, Zheng Guo has already agreed to help. Should we wait for the money?"
Just before leaving, the third aunt asked reluctantly.
After all, that's 100 yuan, which takes a long time to accumulate. Even if it were Yi Zhonghai, he wouldn't be indifferent.
"What do you know? This money is just being held temporarily by the school. Once things are settled, I can always get it back. What if the school reports it to the police if I don't go today?"
Yan Bugui wasn't stupid; he had prepared for both sides, but he wasn't so reckless as to dare to confront them head-on.
"That's good, that's good. Husband, there's a question I wanted to ask last night. Should we send something to Zheng Guo? Just in case...?"
While the three women were relieved, they also raised new questions.
"No rush, no rush. It all depends on how well he gets things done for us. I'll know what to expect then," Yan Bugui said confidently.
After saying that, he didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly headed towards the school.
The journey was uneventful. After arriving at the school, Yan Bugui went to the principal's office and found Principal Luo.
"Hey! Yan Bugui, did you bring the money? If you hadn't come soon, I was ready to go to the police station myself."
Upon meeting, Principal Luo didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the point.
"No, no, Principal Luo, I brought the money, I'll give it to you right now."
With a forced smile, Yan Bugui reluctantly took out the 100 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Principal Luo.
Principal Luo didn't stand on ceremony. After receiving the money, he counted it before speaking.
"Alright, let's leave it at that. I hope you can learn from this experience and not repeat the same mistake."
"Yes, yes, Principal Luo, you go ahead with your work, I'll head back now."
Yan Bugui was so old that he naturally didn't want to listen to Principal Luo's lectures.
So after paying the money, he prepared to go home and wait for good news.
Because he believed that such a small matter was just a matter of talking to Sun Zhengguo.
Principal Luo, whatever you eat now, you'll have to pay back to me in the future. Who knows, I might even make you eat pig manure and pig intestines.
After Yan Bugui left, Principal Luo picked up the phone and dialed the office of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.
Then he gave a full report on the matter. After receiving the call, Nie Jianjun didn't say much, because he had already completed his task.
However, he also made a phone call to explain the situation to Sun Zhengguo.
Sun Zhengguo immediately expressed his gratitude and then promised two bags of tea. The two exchanged pleasantries on the phone before finally hanging up.
After hanging up the phone, he went to the small workshop. The first batch of two new machine tools was about to be shipped out, and they couldn't do without him.
"Hello, Director Sun!..."
As soon as I entered the workshop, the workers kept greeting me.
"Hello everyone, thank you for your hard work. Please be careful when packing. Make sure to put the protective pads inside the boxes properly, we can't afford to lose them."
Sun Zhengguo responded politely, while also giving instructions on precautions.
"Director, it seems these two new machines are going on a long journey! I've already divided the machine tool into three parts and packed them up as you requested. It will be finished in another half hour."
Chen Lianshan, who was directing operations on-site, saw Sun Zhengguo arrive and quickly came over to report on the progress of the work.
"Senior Brother Chen, I trust you to get things done, but you also need to prepare the blueprints, including assembly diagrams and repair diagrams."
"Don't worry, Director, the blueprints are ready. This is a machine tool we manufacture ourselves; we can't do without it!"
Sun Zhengguo nodded in satisfaction. If it weren't for the lack of blueprints, he wouldn't have had the idea of producing machine tools himself.
Clearly, no matter what you do, you can't push people too far, otherwise, I'll make sure you don't earn a single penny.
At 10 a.m., six military trucks and two jeeps arrived at the workshop as scheduled.
After introductions, Company Commander Wu, who was on orders to carry out the mission, immediately saluted Sun Zhengguo and shouted, "Greetings, Commander!"
Sun Zhengguo felt embarrassed and quickly said, "Company Commander Wu, don't be so polite. I'm not a member of the military, so I don't deserve to be called a commander."
But Company Commander Wu seemed not to hear him, and took out a document from his bag and handed it to Sun Zhengguo.
"Sir, these are the handover documents. Please take a look."
Seeing that Company Commander Wu was still doing things his own way, Sun Zhengguo smiled and shook his head, no longer bothering to ask him how to address him, and then took the document and started reading.
This document was issued directly by the General Office of a certain institute, so its authenticity can be determined at a glance.
After reading it, Sun Zhengguo signed his name on the delivery slip before speaking to Company Commander Wu.
"Company Commander Wu, we have already packed all the machine tools, but the covers have not been nailed on yet. Please check them. If there are no problems, I will arrange for people to load them onto the truck immediately."
"Yes, sir." After saluting, the officer began to check each item one by one until there were no problems. Only then did Sun Zhengguo start to arrange for the workers to load the truck.
The workers under his command, without hesitation, immediately brought over a manual crane and began hoisting the goods.
At this moment, Director Li and Deputy Director Liao, having received the news, arrived one after the other.
"Engineer Sun, how long has it been? You already have finished machine tools again?" Factory Manager Li, who arrived first, asked curiously.
"Yes! It was assembled yesterday afternoon. I didn't expect the department to act so quickly. They're taking it away today."
Liao, the deputy factory director who arrived a step behind, quickly pulled Sun Zhengguo aside and asked in a low voice.
"Director Sun, after these two new machine tools were assembled, why didn't you say anything and leave them for our new workshop? You're the chief engineer of our workshop, surely you can't even make this kind of decision?"
It turns out that Sun Zhengguo gave up two machine tools last time, and after much consideration, General Manager Lai decided to leave them to the newly established workshop to enhance its foundation. That's why Deputy Factory Director Liao asked this question.
"Haha! I'm sorry, Deputy Factory Director Liao, I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me. Although I'm the chief engineer of the new workshop, I really can't make the decision on the allocation of the new machine tools."
"Director Sun, when will our workshop be allocated the new machine tools? We can't possibly wait for the last two, can we?"
Well! Sun Zhengguo couldn't help but admire Deputy Factory Director Liao. He really was a jinx; he guessed it right away. That's exactly what the higher-ups decided.
Sun Zhengguo knew perfectly well where these machine tools were going, but he wouldn't say it aloud.
Seeing Sun Zhengguo's expression, Deputy Factory Director Liao seemed to understand the answer. He turned away angrily and left, far away from this place of sorrow.
When Director Li saw Deputy Director Liao's angry expression, he walked over and asked curiously.
"What's wrong with Lao Liao? Why is he pouting like a child as he walks away?"
"Hey! It's because they're greedy! They can look at it but can't eat it, who wouldn't be tempted?"
After hearing Sun Zhengguo's answer, Factory Director Li also fell into deep thought.
Yes! I'm craving it too!
