Early the next morning, Zhu Youliang and Liang Yuan reported to the machinery factory.
When Liu Dayou heard from his secretary that they were in the conference room, he hurried over from the line to meet them. As soon as Pu entered the conference room, he extended his hand and said, "Welcome Comrade Zhu and Comrade Liang to our machinery factory to support our work."
Zhu Youliang and Liang Yuan stood up quickly, "Hello, Director Liu."
Liu Dayou pressed down with his left hand and said, "Sit down, everyone. We are all colleagues from now on, so don't be so polite."
After sitting down, he continued, "The notice came down yesterday. Director Guo and I are very happy to be able to assign two college students at once. The factory is short of people. Especially Youliang. We have worked together before and are considered acquaintances. The factory has made a serious decision to arrange for you to work as a researcher under Professor Ji Minhuai Guo. The salary will be directly calculated as that of a mid-level engineer. In addition, the factory has allocated a single dormitory for you, and you will be given priority in future housing allocations. Do you have any opinions? As long as you raise them, the factory will seriously consider them. The factory absolutely respects talents.
Zhu Youliang glanced at Liang Yuan and saw her nod. Then he smiled and said to Liu Dayou, "Thank you for the factory's attention to us. We have no objections."
Liu Dayou stood up upon hearing this. "Okay, I'll let Xiao Zhang take you to your dormitories first. After you put your things away, follow her to Mr. Ji's place." Liu Dayou called Xiao Zhang in and walked out the door himself. When he reached the door, he turned back and said to Zhu Youliang, "Youliang, come with me first. I have something else to tell you."
After Zhu Youliang followed him into his office, he spoke earnestly, "It's like this. Mr. Ji suffered a bit of a setback a few years ago, and after several invitations from the factory, he was finally willing to come out of retirement. He's a very knowledgeable man, but after what happened, he's become even more withdrawn. You should be careful when you talk to him. Also, if he says something unpleasant, don't take it personally. Talk to Comrade Liang about this as well."
Zhu Youliang nodded in agreement. In his opinion, this was no big deal at all.
Seeing him agree so readily, Liu Dayou felt a little guilty. Several college students had gone to Ji Lao's division before, but unfortunately none of them stayed long, and later they were transferred to other people's management. Who knows how long these two can stay? Thinking of this, he patted Zhu Youliang on the shoulder and said, "You are a good person. Ji Lao was scared by the previous things, but he is still a good person. If you can stay under him, it will definitely be better than staying somewhere else. If he was not so unwilling to go back, it would not be our factory's turn."
"Director Liu, don't worry, I will definitely do my best." Zhu Youliang expressed his opinion again.
"Okay, go ahead." Liu Dayou waved at him with satisfaction.
As soon as Zhu Youliang came out, he saw Liang Yuan and Xiao Zhang talking, and they seemed quite happy.
Xiao Zhang looked to be in his early twenties, had a cheerful appearance, and seemed to be a nice person. Liang Yuan was asking him if he had a girlfriend.
"Let's go." Zhu Youliang listened for a moment and assumed she was asking about Zhu Youxian. It wasn't that he was dissatisfied with Xiao Zhang, but he had heard Zhu Youxian was in a relationship. Huang Mei was so unhappy with her that she had asked them to find her a new partner at the machinery factory.
Liang Yuan only asked a few questions and didn't mention Zhu Youxian. After all, they had only just met once and didn't know what he was like. Besides, she didn't think Zhu Youxian would listen to his family. She was just making small talk.
Xiao Zhang led them to the dormitory, a small bungalow of about ten square meters. There were rows of similar bungalows all around, and Xiao Zhang said that all the technicians lived here. Because most technicians prefer quiet, they were assigned to this area, right by the courtyard wall. It was about ten meters away from the nearest dormitory building, but very close to the R&D building. Liang Yuan was quite satisfied with the environment, though she felt the toilets were a bit far away. After dropping off their luggage, Xiao Zhang didn't waste any time and took them to the R&D department to meet Mr. Guo. As they walked along, they found that the other offices were occupied by several people, but the last large office had only two people: a middle-aged man and Professor Ji.
As soon as Xiao Zhang Pu entered, he said to Ji Minhuai, "Professor Ji, these two are the new researchers assigned to your department. They both graduated from Northwestern Polytechnical University. They will definitely satisfy you this time. Look, where are they sitting?"
Ji Minhuai was reading a document and didn't look up when he heard it. After he finished reading, he slowly raised his head and asked, "What did you just say?"
Xiao Zhang didn't get angry and repeated it in a gentle voice.
Ji Minhuai pushed his glasses and said, "Didn't you say the same thing last time? They are all idiots. Well, let them sit at the table opposite Xiao Li. There is nothing to do today, let them come back tomorrow." After saying that, he lowered his head.
Xiao Zhang, clearly accustomed to this, introduced them to Li Mingde, another researcher. Li Mingde spoke little, simply nodding at them before returning to his work.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhang pointed to the table next to him and said, "This will be your seat from now on. You just arrived today, so there's nothing much to do. Why don't you go back and pack your things and come back to work tomorrow? Oh, and remember to go to Xiao Hong later. Her employee ID cards should have been processed by now. With them, you can get lunch at noon."
Zhu Youliang nodded and said, "Thank you for your help, Comrade Zhang. I'll get it later."
"Okay, then you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go back first." Xiao Zhang said and left.
Xiao Zhang left, but Zhu Youliang and Liang Yuan did not leave either. Instead, they sat in their seats. They did not say anything and just sat there until Ji Minhuai put down the materials in his hand again and was about to pick up the cup to drink water. Only then did the two of them stand up and walk over to introduce themselves.
"Hello, Professor Ji, my name is Zhu Youliang."
"Hello, Professor Ji, my name is Liang Yuan."
Ji Minhuai only glanced at them calmly, and then said in a voice without any emotion: "Ji Minhuai."
Zhu Youliang felt relieved when he heard him speak, and said hurriedly, "Then we won't disturb you from working. Come back to work tomorrow."
After saying that, he took Liang Yuan away.
Ji Minhuai waited until they left before picking up the information sent by the Human Resources Department yesterday.
When they returned to the dormitory, Liang Yuan made the bed and said to Zhu Youliang, "Professor Ji has a story."
"You've figured this out, that's amazing." Zhu Youliang repeated what Liu Dayou had just said.
"It's okay, we are here to work. Besides, he doesn't look unreasonable today, so just be reasonable." Liang Yuan said indifferently.
"I thought so too. It's time for dinner soon, I'll go get my work badge first." Zhu Youliang said and went out.
