Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 28 Won First Class Personal Merit
At 1:903 p.m., when the four people from room [-] rushed to the playground, the playground was already full of people.

Zhong Cheng roughly estimated that there were tens of thousands of people.

But Zhou Hu said that this is nothing. Red Star Company has 10,000+ employees, and the playground can't hold it at all, so representatives from various units can only be selected to participate.

Soldiers accounted for half of the crowd. After all, military personnel are the backbone of Red Star Company's backbone and the elite of Red Star Company's employees.

Otherwise, so many people would not want to join the military, which is completely different from the local people's thinking.

Zhong Cheng was inconspicuous in the military uniform at the venue.

Since his personnel establishment is still in the Engine Division, the four of them have joined the hundreds of people in the Engine Division.

Those who knew Zhong Cheng looked at Zhong Cheng strangely, and they didn't know why this "didn't do business" guy put on a military uniform.

Zhong Cheng could only smile wryly, good things never go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, why didn't Chief Wan and Director Deng publicize their deeds in the machine tool factory in the Red Building?
The annual commendation conference is the most important annual staff conference of Red Star Company. The group company will commend collectives and individuals who have made significant contributions and outstanding performances this year.

This is the highest embodiment and affirmation of collective and personal honor, and everyone attaches great importance to it.

Recognition results are a hot topic among company personnel for at least a month or two.

The meeting started under the chairmanship of Mr. Wan, the deputy general manager of Red Star Company. All the senior leaders of the company were on the podium, and Mr. Deng, whom Zhong Cheng knew, sat on the chair.

The meeting first introduced the work achievements of Red Star Company in the past year, and then announced the business policy for this year.

Zhong Cheng noticed that the company decided to enter the family car market this year. The domestic passenger car market has been developing very rapidly in recent years. This is a huge piece of cake.

No wonder the company wants to eliminate the ordinary crankshaft production line and vigorously develop the numerical control production line. It turns out that the purpose is to produce passenger cars with higher performance requirements than trucks.

My own Nuwa industrial mother machine project is on this express train.

Next, the meeting started today's theme, announcing this year's advanced collectives and individuals as well as the awards they received.

Among them, the Engine Division won the collective third-class merit, the machine tool manufacturing branch won the collective second-class merit, and Manager Li also won the personal third-class merit.

Seeing people coming to the stage to receive awards and certificates of honor, Zhong Cheng lamented that not only himself, but also countless people are struggling day and night in Red Star Company.

Just as the commendation conference was drawing to a close, the host of the conference who announced the list of winners raised the volume:
"Second Lieutenant Zhong Cheng of the Engine Division, who has only been employed for half a year, has performed exceptionally well in the company's major R&D projects. Not only has he been recognized by his superiors, but he has also made outstanding contributions to the company, the army, and the motherland."

The company has always been very particular about the use of words in formal occasions. Words such as "abnormal" and "prominent" have always been used very conservatively.

But this time it also appeared in the commendation report for Zhong Cheng, which really surprised the tens of thousands of employees of Red Star Company in the audience.

"After the decision of the company's leadership meeting and the approval of the superior department, Comrade Zhong Cheng will be awarded the first-class personal honor!"

Following the host's briefing, there was an uproar in the venue.

Many people gasped, and directly engraved the word "shock" on their faces.

If it is still understandable if it is an individual's third-class merit or collective second-class merit, that person's first-class merit is completely beyond the scope of everyone's understanding.

As we all know, front-line military officers get honors by virtue of their military exploits, and technical officers get honors by their knowledge.

After the military department abolished the super meritorious service, in this peaceful age, the army rewards individuals or units into five levels.

The first is the honorary title, the second is the first-class merit, the third is the second-class merit, the fourth is the third-class merit, and the fifth is the award.

In recent years, the military has clarified the difficulty of obtaining various reward levels and more specific reward implementation.

Take Zhong Cheng as an example.

Let’s not talk about the requirements in the army, but let’s talk about the specific requirements for technical officers like Zhong Cheng to win first-class merit:
"Anyone who actively participates in education and training reforms, technological innovations, and technical renovations, and has made significant contributions to the promotion of military building, and whose achievements are approved to be popularized and applied in the entire army, can be credited with first-class merit."

Red Star Company has been established for so many years, it is not without first-class merit, but it is as rare as it is, and it has not been seen in recent years.

And this second lieutenant named Zhong Cheng, He Dehe Neng, what shocking event did he do to get first-class merit?

For reasons of confidentiality, the host did not announce Zhong Cheng's deeds, and most of the participants in the audience discussed and were amazed.

Zhong Cheng was equally astonished. He only developed a set of Nuwa industrial mother machine, and this kind of work is "too easy".

Did the company leaders think too highly of him? He felt a lot of pressure.

Under the urging of Director Fu and three roommates, under the envious eyes of everyone in the audience, he bravely stepped up to the rostrum.

Mr. Deng personally hung the medal of first-class meritorious service for him, and encouraged him: "Comrade Zhong Cheng, don't be complacent, keep working hard, and look forward to your making more contributions to the army and the motherland!"

"Yes, Chief!"

Zhong Cheng saluted, his body straightened like a sharp sword out of its sheath.

At the 2010 Red Star Company Commendation Conference, Zhong Cheng became the most dazzling star, and the topic of discussion on him will surely last for a long time.

……

After the meeting, Zhong Cheng called Zhao Wei.

Zhao Wei told him that there is no need to go to the scene, it has already been packed, and it is enough to prepare for the holiday.

Seeing that it was all right, Zhong Cheng simply invited Zhao Wei over for dinner to celebrate.

He invited Zhou Hu and the others to treat them in a small restaurant outside the company.

Zhong Cheng can't help it either, who told him to always be "in the limelight".

After all, I have invited three roommates to eat three meals.

Zhou Hu said that he is willing to invite such a treat a hundred times.

Zhao Wei is here, and he has become acquainted with Zhou Hu and the others during this period of time, so there is nothing polite about it.

Zhong Cheng first expressed his apology to Zhao Wei. This time, he was the only one who took the limelight for the project of the Nuwa industrial mother machine.

Zhao Wei didn't care, he was already in his thirties, and it was impossible for him to join the military again, and it was meaningless to get a few grades if he didn't join the military.

His image in the company was not good before, but this time because of this project, he was promoted to the director of the software development room of the machine tool factory, and he is already very satisfied.

Zhou Hu said that according to the credit of the Nuwa industrial master machine project, not to mention the improvement of the company's industrial strength to the country in the future, it is enough to save hundreds of millions of dollars for the purchase of CNC grinding machines for Red Star Company. Let Zhong Cheng be promoted to major.

But because Zhong Cheng had just joined the military, there was nothing he could do.

Zhong Cheng didn't take it seriously. He believed that as long as he worked hard, there would be many opportunities to make meritorious deeds.

The meal didn't end until 9 p.m., and everyone went back happily.

　In view of the fact that some readers in the early stage complained a lot about the protagonist's too little rewards, I have made adjustments in the subsequent chapters.

　　The conference of rewards that the protagonist will receive later is beyond everyone's imagination, please continue to look down.

　　(A little spoiler, how about rewarding a private jet? I won’t say what kind of plane it is, it’s guaranteed to be beyond your imagination.)
