Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

The open space of the No. 3 Steel Plant was in full swing, and two people were waiting eagerly in the office of Lu Tianyi of the Ministry of Industry.

Waiting for today's newspaper to arrive.

After yesterday's meeting, Lu Tianyi instructed his secretary to contact National Daily to publish information on the successful development of tungsten-chromium alloy steel.

I want to put the credit for this on Chen Tongshan and get back a win for myself.

Regarding the requirements of the Ministry of Industry and the fact that alloy steel is indeed of great significance, National Daily naturally has no doubts, and the editor-in-chief personally inquired about the matter.

Lu Tianyi, who was originally resting on the weekend, specially made an appointment with Chen Tongshan to come to his office to witness this historic moment together.

Soon, Lu Tianyi's secretary rushed in with a newspaper: "Lu Bu, National Daily published a report on the successful development of tungsten-chromium alloy steel, and it was a front-page headline."

Lu Tian looked ecstatic: "Quick, quick, show me. I thought it would be good to have a quarter page in the news section, but I didn't expect it to be the front page headline."

"Comrade Chen Tongshan, you have shown your face this time."

The secretary put the newspaper on the table, stood up and wiped the sweat from his head.

He knew what his leader was waiting for when he came to the company today.

So after seeing the front-page headline about the successful development of alloy steel, I immediately rushed to the office with the newspaper.

As soon as Lu Tian picked up the newspaper, Chen Tongshan came over excitedly.

He had no previous achievements and had never been in a newspaper.

It was on the front page today, how could I not be excited.

Lu Tianyi saw the bold and black characters on the front page at a glance: "Our country has successfully developed tungsten-chromium alloy steel, which is ten times harder than ordinary steel."

"The People's Daily is too real. It should be packaged at this time. Words such as epoch-making and surpassing the West can be used, hahaha. But this is okay. Our Ministry of Industry is pragmatic."

But Chen Tongshan next to him felt a thump in his heart.

Because he knew that the tungsten-chromium alloy steel he developed was only three times stronger than ordinary steel. Where did this ten times come from?

Could it be that the industry, like agriculture, has started launching satellites without any basis?

Then Lu Tianyi began to read the subtitle again: "No. 3 Steel Plant has achieved greater glory, and Jiang Chen has established himself again."

Before he finished reading, he noticed something was wrong and read it again carefully.

The joy on his face has disappeared.

After that, I took a brief glance at the content: After successfully developing the world's leading Sangang machine tool, Jiang Chen.

Lu Tianyi's face was livid, and he slammed the newspaper on the table: "Who can tell me, what the hell is going on?"

Chen Tongshan's face was also very ugly.

Lu Tianyi's secretary, on the other hand, was frightened and sweating profusely.

Normally, the secretary would be very cautious and meticulous when doing things, but he was so anxious just now that he forgot to read the content of the report carefully and sent the newspaper over.

This is a big mistake.

Moreover, it was him who handled the connection with National Daily.

The secretary swallowed, carefully took the newspaper, glanced at it, and his vest was soaked with sweat.

He said tremblingly: "I communicated with the editor in person yesterday, and he personally promised that he would report the news about the successful development of alloy steel today."

"You see, most of the sentences in this article are from the manuscript we gave them. They are intact, and even the punctuation has not been modified."

Before the meeting of the Ministry of Industry started yesterday, after Lu Tianyi arranged the relevant matters, he asked his secretary to find someone to write the press release, and only waited until the meeting was over to send it directly to the newspaper.

Unexpectedly, all the beautiful words turned into compliments to Jiang Chen and No. 3 Steel Factory when he was making wedding clothes for nothing.

Chen Tongshan's scientific research team was not mentioned in the report.

Lu Tianyi said in a deep voice: "They reported it, or it was the headline. It's just that the protagonist of the report is not Chen Tongshan, but that bastard Jiang Chen?"

"If you can't explain clearly, you won't come tomorrow or get out immediately."

The secretary remained silent, how could he know this?

Lu Tianyi said angrily: "Don't you know the reason?"

The secretary shook his head: "I don't know."

Lu Tianyi slammed the table again: "I don't know, why don't you call and ask?"

This shot shocked both the secretary and Chen Tongshan.

The secretary quickly said: "Okay, I'll go right away."

After saying that, he turned around and left the office.

Chen Tongshan said: "Lu Bu, do you think Mr. Zhou had arranged this a long time ago and we were a step too late?"

Lu Tianyi shook his head: "This is impossible. If he had made arrangements in advance, the press release would definitely have been prepared in advance and he would not have used the manuscript we provided in large quantities."

"Besides, Lao Zhou and I are on the same level. He, the People's Daily, would not dare to play tricks on us even if there is an arrangement, nor would he modify the content without notifying us."

"So, someone above must be involved in this matter."

Chen Tongshan's feet softened: "Above?"

The Ministry of Industry is a ministerial-level unit above it.

At this time, the secretary knocked on the door and came in.

Lu Tianyi asked: "Is there any result?"

The secretary nodded: "According to the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, it was the leader of the Secretariat who personally found them and arranged this report."

"It was a little late when we found them, and there was no way to contact us. Today is Sunday again. They thought we were not at work, so they didn't notify us."

Lu Tianyi frowned and said, "Secretariat? Why are they involved in this matter?"

"It's bad. The chief met with Jiang Chen at the Ministry of Industry before. I'm afraid he might have stabbed him."

Anyone who can be a deputy minister is not a fool.

Lu Tianyi quickly connected the two things.

The secretary said: "Jiang Chen came to the Ministry of Industry yesterday afternoon, but was stopped outside by the security guard, and then left."

"I just asked the security guard that the direction Jiang Chen left was not the direction back to the No. 3 Steel Plant. If you go that way, you can reach Xiyuan."

Lu Tianyi's heart sank.

If this matter reaches the chief, there will be big trouble.

As for his operations yesterday, it is not difficult to check them deliberately.

He prevented Jiang Chen from entering the Ministry of Industry in an attempt to steal the credit, which was a taboo.

Chen Tongshan asked anxiously: "Bu Lu, what should we do now?"

Lu Tianyi said bitterly: "What should I do? I'm just waiting to be punished. What else can I do?"

"First think about how you do things. There is a difference of three times between three times hardness and ten times hardness. If you are useful and can experiment with the best ratio earlier, can we be so passive? "

"Hey, you really hurt me this time."

Chen Tongshan was speechless.

He just wanted to do research well from the beginning and never thought about taking credit.

Lu Tianyi didn't want Zhou Xinjian to take the limelight, so he asked him to go to Sichuan to conduct research on alloy steel.

Then he was stimulated by Lu Yuehua's words, and with Lu Tianyi's overt and covert guidance, he rushed back to Sijiu City overnight to attend the meeting of the Ministry of Industry with the ratio data that was not successful at all.

I thought that as long as Zhou Xinjian was held back until National Daily reported it, the credit would belong to him and no one could take it away.

Who would have thought that Jiang Chen would not follow common sense and skip the Ministry of Industry to find the chief.

He also had troubles to express.

Lu Tianyi said bitterly: "Jiang Chen, this bastard, is too good at what he does."

"It seems that I won't be able to stay in the Ministry of Industry any longer, and your research path may also have changes."

Chen Tongshan probed: "Is there really no room for this?"

Lu Tian nodded: "Once you reach that level, there is basically no room for it."
