Sun Zhengguo has greeted his new colleagues one by one, but they are not yet familiar with each other. He can only get to know them better after he officially starts working.
After exchanging greetings, Sun Zhengguo followed Director Liao to Vice Minister Li's office.
"Vice Minister Li, this is Sun Zhengguo. I've brought him back to you."
After giving his instructions, Director Liao, knowing that the two had something to discuss, voluntarily left the office.
"Hello! Vice Minister Li, Sun Zhengguo is here to report for duty."
After Director Liao left, Sun Zhengguo quickly greeted him.
"Not bad, quite a spirited young man. Welcome to the Mechanical Department, please have a seat."
"Thank you, Vice Minister Li."
After thanking him, Sun Zhengguo had barely sat down, not even properly settled, when Vice Minister Li said with a smile:
"Do you know what? When you were first assigned to the Ministry of Metallurgy, I argued with Old Bai on the phone for half an hour because of you."
"Vice Minister Li, is it worth it for me?"
Sun Zhengguo asked with a smile.
"Why isn't it worth it? Go and see for yourself in our Ministry of Machinery. Do you still have any talent? Just a few days ago, the former head of your first section was also transferred."
Upon hearing what Vice Minister Li said, Sun Zhengguo suddenly realized that the former section chief had probably also been transferred to the Northwest.
It's true what they say, "When the cat's away, the mice will play." Otherwise, how could a technician like him have risen to the position of deputy section chief?
"Vice Minister Li, when do I start work, and what tasks will be assigned to our section after I start work?"
Vice Minister Li didn't even need to think; he already had the answer.
"Tomorrow's the weekend, you'll come to work the day after tomorrow. As for the tasks......"
Vice Minister Li pondered for a moment, then asked solemnly.
"Comrade Zhengguo! Originally, we only wanted to maintain the status quo, but judging from your expression, you seem to have some ideas? Why don't you tell us?"
Sun Zhengguo didn't have any particular thoughts, but with his skills from his previous life and what he had learned in this life, he was definitely most skilled in industrial machinery.
As for modifying the rolling mill, it was just a forced undertaking.
“Vice Minister Li, I am most familiar with industrial machinery. I think we can first modify and upgrade some machine tools, milling machines, drilling machines and other metal processing machinery. Once the accuracy, production capacity and efficiency are improved, we can gradually study innovation. What do you think?”
"really?"
Vice Minister Li stood up from his seat in shock, his eyes wide as saucers.
He found it hard to believe that this young man with a youthful appearance had offered to modify the machinery.
However, he was still a little worried. After all, Sun Zhengguo was only 21 years old and had just graduated from school. Could he handle it?
"Comrade Zhengguo, how about this, you write a report first, we'll study it, and then we'll make a decision after you've finished modifying the rolling mill."
Sun Zhengguo also understood that he had no qualifications and that he needed to produce results to convince everyone.
You can't expect everyone to revolve around you just because you talk the talk and walk the walk.
Once I complete the task of modifying the rolling mill, all these problems will be solved.
“Okay, Vice Minister Li, I’ll come to work the day after tomorrow and bring you the report. As for other plans, we’ll talk about them after I finish modifying the rolling mill.”
Seeing that Sun Zhengguo agreed to his proposal, Vice Minister Li was slightly relieved. This showed that he was not an arrogant person and knew that results mattered.
The two then discussed housing allocation and the issue of adding personnel.
However, Sun Zhengguo was not in a hurry to be allocated a house, because given his current position, the house he would be allocated would not be very big, so he would wait a few years before considering it.
As for the issue of personnel replenishment, Sun Zhengguo also had his own ideas. Such a good candidate as Senior Brother Chen should not be placed in a university to teach. Otherwise, he will not have a good time in a few years.
The two talked in the office for about half an hour. Vice Minister Li was also very busy, receiving phone calls every now and then. Sun Zhengguo did not intend to stay any longer, so he got up to say goodbye and left.
After leaving Vice Minister Li's office, Sun Zhengguo greeted Director Liao again.
Then he met with his immediate supervisor, Director Wu of the Technical Department.
Director Wu had no objection to Sun Zhengguo's arrival. After all, Sun was a person specially recruited by the vice minister, and he couldn't be disrespectful. The two chatted happily.
After visiting Director Wu, Sun Zhengguo went to the guard room, made a formal registration, and then rode his bicycle home.
At noon, at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, Director Yang had just finished lunch and was leisurely reading the newspaper.
"Ding ding ding...!"
Upon hearing the phone ring, Director Yang didn't even look up. He picked up the receiver and heard Director Wu's loud voice coming from the other end of the line.
"Old Yang, congratulations! If I ever need anything in the future, I'll need your help. Don't be stingy."
Director Wu's inexplicable words left Director Yang completely bewildered.
"No, Lao Wu, what are you congratulating me on? And how can I help you?"
"Keep pretending! Don't tell me that technician Sun didn't get into your factory, but his parents are here. I don't believe you wouldn't take advantage of such a good opportunity."
"Old Wu, please explain yourself clearly. I really don't know what you're talking about?"
"You really don't know?"
The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly increased in volume, making Director Yang's ears hurt. He could only move the receiver to the side.
"Hey, could you please keep your voice down? Don't be so jumpy. Get to the point. I really don't know anything."
"Okay! That technician Sun has already left the company, the specific reason is unknown. I thought he had been recruited by your factory, which is why I called you, thinking that if the machine breaks down in the future, I could ask you to take care of it. I didn't expect... sigh!"
Upon hearing this, Director Yang was at a loss for words.
Sun Zhengguo resigned? How come I didn't know about this? What will happen to all the machines in our factory now that he's gone?
"Old Wu! Why didn't you call me sooner? When did this happen? If you had called earlier, maybe...?"
Factory Director Yang scolded over the phone.
Actually, you can't blame Director Wu for this. He also had his own selfish motives; he wanted to recruit Sun Zhengguo, but he didn't succeed.
He thought that Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill could definitely recruit Sun Zhengguo with their connections, but who would have thought that Old Yang was so out of touch with the times?
"Old Wu, I'll stop here for now. Thank you for your help. I have something to do, so I'll hang up now."
After a hasty end to the conversation, Director Yang couldn't sit still for a moment and rushed to the Women's Federation office.
"Hey! Director Yang, what brings you to our Women's Federation?"
In the Women's Federation office, sharp-eyed Sister Wu quickly stepped forward to greet them.
"I'm here to see your Deputy Director Lin. Where is she?"
"I'm in the office!"
Factory Director Yang didn't have time for casual conversation and hurried to Lin Wencui's office.
"Deputy Director Lin, I heard your son has resigned. When did that happen? How come I didn't know?"
Upon entering the office, Director Yang inquired.
Lin Wencui didn't hide anything and recounted the events surrounding her son's resignation.
"These parasites, no wonder no talent has emerged in recent years. People with some ability have been sent to remote areas by them."
After hearing Lin Wencui's account, Director Yang was so angry that he started cursing.
"Deputy Director Lin, so you're saying your son is currently unemployed?"
Lin Wencui nodded. "Yes, Director Yang."
Seeing Lin Wencui personally admit it, Director Yang's mind started to wander again. He couldn't miss such a good opportunity.
"Deputy Director Lin, could you come back to your home with me and help persuade your son to work at our factory? Don't worry, I will definitely treat him well."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wencui's eyes lit up. Staying at home with her son was not a solution after all.
Now that Director Yang is willing to recruit, that's perfect.
“Alright! Director Yang, I’ll go with you.”
The two hit it off immediately, got into Director Yang's car, and headed to the courtyard house.
