Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

The outcome of the Red Star Steel Mill producing Q355 steel was exactly as Li Ze had expected. After the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry learned of the news, it immediately sent someone to the mill to take away a copy of the formula and process parameters of Q355 steel, and decided to build a steelmaking workshop at the Red Star Steel Mill. The steelmaking workshop will be designed to build a side-blown converter, which will become the first side-blown converter in China, which will undoubtedly make the Red Star Steel Mill famous in the industry.

Secretary Wang and Director Zhang were also highly praised for the successful refining of Q355 steel, and they were eventually transferred to work in the ministry, which was a great success. However, surprisingly, after they were transferred, the two original deputy directors were not promoted. Instead, a deputy director from Shijingshan Iron and Steel Plant was transferred to serve as the director of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. At the same time, the secretary position was taken by a person who was about to retire from the ministry.

At the meeting to welcome the new secretary and the new factory director, the leaders of the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry formally introduced the new secretary and the factory director to everyone. The new secretary's name was Gao Hongwei, and the new factory director's surname was Yang, and his name was Yang Zixing. When He Yuzhu, who was sitting in the audience, heard the three words "Yang Zixing", his heart was shocked. He muttered to himself: "Could this Yang Zixing be the factory director Yang who was defeated by Li Huaide in the TV series?" His heart was full of doubts.

After the people from the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry read out the appointments of the secretary and the factory director, they began to read out the awards for other people. He Yuzhu, as the person directly responsible for the production of Q355 steel, was naturally the first to be recognized. "The Dodge truck imitation team led by Comrade He Yuzhu has produced Q355 steel. Comrade He Yuzhu is now recognized as follows: First, Comrade He Yuzhu's administrative level is promoted to level 13; second, He Yuzhu is awarded a watch." After the announcement of the commendation for He Yuzhu, the other workers were recognized. To sum up, everyone was happy.

He Yuzhu happily accepted the watch as a reward. He Yuzhu casually opened the watch and put it on his wrist. Looking at the watch on his wrist, he couldn't help feeling happy. Now his administrative level was finally equivalent to his position. From now on, he would be a real director. His treatment was the same as that of the lowest deputy director. It seemed that he was one step closer to becoming the deputy factory director.

After seeing off the people from the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry, the workers who were awarded also left the meeting room. Secretary Gao and Director Yang convened the first meeting of all middle and senior management of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Secretary Gao said a few words and said, "I am not familiar with production, so Director Yang will preside over the meeting."

After listening to Secretary Gao's Buddhist speech, He Yuzhu looked at the white hair on Secretary Gao's head again, thinking that it seemed that Secretary Gao came to the Red Star Steel Mill to retire. He planned to stay there until retirement. It seemed that Director Yang would have the final say in the future of the steel mill. Thinking of this, He Yuzhu finally understood why Director Yang was the top leader of the Red Star Steel Mill in the TV series. It turned out that Secretary Gao was the hands-off manager.

Yang Zixing cleared his throat and said, "Hello everyone, I believe everyone knows my name, so I won't introduce myself. The most urgent task for our factory right now is to complete the construction of the side-blown converter arranged by the superiors. This is the first side-blown converter in China. Since the superiors have given this honor to our factory, do you have the confidence to complete this task?"

"Yes." Everyone in the conference room stood up and said.

"Since everyone is so confident, then who will be responsible for the construction of the new steelmaking workshop?" Yang Zixing took the opportunity to ask.

Everyone in the conference room fell silent. Before this, the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill didn't even have an iron-making furnace, let alone building the first side-blown converter in the country right away. If it could be built successfully, it would be fine, but if it failed, it would be a disaster.

Yang Zixing didn't expect that a simple question from him would cause the atmosphere to freeze. However, as a man who had been in the workplace for many years, how could he be frightened by this question? So Yang Zixing laughed and said casually, "It seems that you comrades have a heavy ideological burden. Since no one speaks, I have no choice but to call on the troops. I remember that Q355 steel was developed by the truck imitation team led by Comrade He Yuzhu. Then please let He Yuzhu express his opinion."

He Yuzhu didn't expect the fire to burn him, so he could only stand up and say, "Hello, Secretary Gao and Director Yang. My name is He Yuzhu, and I'm in charge of the logistics of our factory."

"Director He, I know you are in charge of logistics. Now I would like to hear your thoughts on building a side-blown converter in our factory."

"Director Yang, since you asked, I can only briefly talk about my thoughts. After all, I have never been in charge of specific steel production, so if I say something wrong, please don't laugh at me."

He Yuzhu paused and continued. "Side-blown converter steelmaking is a converter steelmaking method that blows air or oxygen from the side of the converter body to oxidize and remove impurity elements in the molten iron and provide heat to obtain molten steel. From a process point of view, it is not particularly complicated. After all, foreign countries have mastered mature technology for decades. We have not mastered it in China due to historical reasons. Although the superiors have assigned the task of building the first side-blown converter in China to our factory, the superiors will definitely provide corresponding technical support during the construction process. So I feel that the task of building a side-blown converter is not a big deal. On the contrary, the key is how to make the side-blown converter smoothly produce qualified steel after it is built."

"Director He, you said it very well. Before he came to our factory, I heard that Director He was an expert in logistics support. Director He, do you have confidence in the next task of building the side-blowing converter?" Yang Zixing asked He Yuzhu with a smile on his face.

Yang Zixing's words startled everyone present. He Yuzhu didn't expect that he had simply expressed his thoughts, but Yang Zixing actually gave him the task of building the side-blown converter. This was the first thing Yang Zixing arranged when he came to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. If he offended Yang Zixing today, then Yang Zixing would definitely make things difficult for him in the future. Everything has its pros and cons. As long as he could successfully complete the construction of the side-blown converter, he would have the experience of presiding over production in the future.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu readily agreed: "Since Director Yang is willing to give me such a glorious task of building the first side-blown converter in China, then I will definitely be very happy. Director Yang, I promise to complete this glorious and arduous task."

"Okay, then Director He will be in charge of the construction of the side-blown converter. During the construction period, you can call on all the manpower in the factory. I'm going to say this in advance. If anyone dares not to cooperate with Director He's work or disobey Director He's orders, and affects the construction of the side-blown converter, don't blame me for being rude." Yang Zixing narrowed his eyes and looked at everyone in the meeting room and said, "Secretary Gao, do you have anything else to say?"

Secretary Gao shook his head and said, "I have said what I need to say."

"Then today's meeting will end here. Everyone can go back. Director He, please come to my office later." Yang Zixing immediately announced the end of the meeting. After Secretary Gao and Director Yang left the meeting room, everyone looked at He Yuzhu before leaving the office.

After everyone had left, Wu Degui hurried to He Yuzhu and said with an annoyed look on his face, "Director He, why did you agree to take on the task of building the side-blown converter? You shouldn't have taken it."

"What's wrong? Chief Wu, is there anything you can't answer?" He Yuzhu said with a strange look on his face.

"Hey, do you know why no one is willing to take on the task from the new director Yang today? That's because these two are in a bad mood! They are expressing their dissatisfaction with the new director Yang." Wu Degui pointed to where the two deputy directors were sitting, "But it's too late to say anything now. Since you have taken it, you can only do it with gritted teeth. You'd better take care of yourself." After saying that, Wu Degui patted He Yuzhu's arm, turned around and left the meeting room.

He Yuzhu immediately understood why the meeting was so quiet. It turned out that the two deputy directors were dissatisfied with not promoting a new director from among them. It was fine if they wanted to express their dissatisfaction, but why didn't anyone inform him? It seemed that the two deputy directors didn't treat him as their own. But it was no wonder that Secretary Zhang was in charge of his logistics department before, and it was not under the charge of the two deputy directors. But it didn't matter. Anyway, he didn't go with them before, and he wouldn't go with them in the future. He Yuzhu shook his head and walked towards Director Yang's office.

Director Yang returned to his office. How could he not notice the strange atmosphere at the meeting today? If he really didn't notice it, he would have been a director for nothing. He had done his homework before coming to the Red Star Steel Mill. The leader behind him had told him about the main leaders of the Red Star Steel Mill. To be honest, he could understand the feelings of the two deputy directors. After all, he was also the deputy director of the Shijingshan Steel Mill before.

If the position of the director of the Red Star Steel Mill had not been vacant, he might have continued to work as the deputy director of the Shijingshan Steel Mill for a few years. Being a deputy director is not pleasant. Everything must be arranged by the director. If you do well, it is the director's leadership, but if you do not do well, it is the fault of the deputy director in charge. If the position of the director had not been vacant, he would have to continue working as the deputy director. I hope these two deputy directors will not go too far. As long as the two deputy directors can cooperate with him and let him work well in the Red Star Steel Mill, maybe when he is promoted to a ministry, the two of them may have a chance. Otherwise, don't blame him, Yang, for being ruthless.

Thinking of this, Director Yang couldn't help but envy the former director of the Red Star Steel Mill, who is now the leader of a ministry. However, he is still young. As long as he makes achievements in the Red Star Steel Mill and relies on the relationship with the leader behind him, he should be able to make further progress. He just doesn't know which department he will be transferred to.
