Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Time passed quickly, and before Chen Xu received the so-called honorary title from Director Li, he had already joined the party.

His case is rather special. I guess the whole country knows about his deeds now because he was featured in the People's Daily. For this reason, people from the newspaper came to interview him and take pictures of him.

After all this trouble, Chen Xu is now considered a celebrity in the city, although most people don't know what he looks like.

Not everyone reads newspapers, but everyone in the steel mill knows him, which makes it a big trouble for Chen Xu to deal with those who greet him every day.

Chen Xu was a little depressed. He didn't like to be high-profile, but it seemed that he had no choice at the moment.

At first he hadn't expected the matter to become so serious. Being made an example was certainly an honor in the eyes of others, but it was not easy for him. Too many people were paying attention to him, and he had to be careful with everything he said and did.

Li Huaide was particularly energetic at work today, and he took Chen Xu to the office to talk about many things.

Lao Li is not a talkative person, but today is an exception.

The steel mill's broadcast has been sounded several times.

Because a deputy factory director retired, Li Huaide, director of the logistics department, was promoted to deputy factory director.

Then the deputy director of the purchasing department retired, and Chen Xu, the ace buyer of the purchasing department, was promoted to deputy director.

Chen Xu had an office of his own. Although it was not big, it only had a cabinet, a desk, and a few stools.

Chen Xu clearly told Director Chen that he did not want to be in charge of the purchasing department and planned to continue working as a buyer. As for the deputy director position, he would just treat it as a figurehead.

Director Chen patted Chen Xu on the shoulder and nodded, feeling a little touched.

He thought Chen Xu was doing this because he was concerned about him as the director.

"Director, you'll be busy in the future now that you have an irresponsible assistant like me."

"You kid..."

Director Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In fact, the purchasing department didn't have much to do. It was naturally a good thing that Chen Xu was willing to continue purchasing.

in the workshop.

Many people were talking about it, but no one said there was anything wrong with the promotion of Chen Xu, the deputy director. After all, he did an excellent job, and everyone in the steel mill had witnessed it.

He is usually very easy-going and can chat with anyone. With the aura of a hero, his promotion to deputy director was naturally not a big deal.

Many people were muttering in their hearts that the rumors were not credible, and they didn't know where the rumor that Chen Xu used to have a bad temper and liked to chop people came from, as he was obviously very easy to talk to.

Qin Huairu, who had been working as a fitter in the steel rolling mill for a month or so, was a little dazed. The rise of Chen Xu caught the people in the Siheyuan off guard. She still remembered the timid and skinny young man who was like an invisible person in the Siheyuan and who didn't even dare to look at her when they met her.

In just over a year, Chen Xu has undergone tremendous changes.

The house is the best one among the courtyard houses, and his wife is the most beautiful and the most capable one in the courtyard. With his halo, he is now like a star in the steel rolling mill and is now a leader.

Who would have dared to think of such a thing before.

Liu Haizhong was filled with envy, jealousy and resentment. After all, he was now an official and a workshop team leader in charge of several people. Unfortunately, he was no match for Chen Xu.

It is even more difficult for workshop workers to climb up to leadership positions. Unless Lao Liu can become a workshop director, team leader is basically his peak. If he wants to impress others, another option is to develop in the technical field.

As an engineer, he naturally didn't have to think about anything, but Lao Liu, an eighth-level blacksmith, still wanted to give it a try.

In fact, Lao Liu has a good reputation in both the steel rolling mill and Siheyuan. After all, he is a senior technician. Although he is sometimes unpopular in Siheyuan, he has never offended anyone.

But Lao Liu couldn't help but have an uneasy heart.

Therefore, Lao Liu swung his hammer even harder this time, intending to try his best to win the promotion among all the workers in the factory in the near future.

Ever since his two younger sons went to repair the canal, Old Liu hasn't touched his hands for a while. He always feels his hands are inexplicably itchy. Unfortunately, he only has one wife in the family, and Liu Haizhong is not going to the point of hitting a woman.

Therefore, several workers under Liu Haizhong complained bitterly. The team leader seemed to be full of energy during this period. He seemed to be treating the parts as his son and worked very hard.

Since the team leader is so hardworking, how can the other members of the team feel comfortable being lazy? They can only grit their teeth and let their bangs curl inward. This trend seems to be getting more and more serious.

When other groups saw the posture of Liu Haizhong's group, they were like, wow, are they competing in production capacity?

All right, comrades, let's shout slogans, we can't let this fat guy Liu outdo us...

The workshop director looked at the workers whose work enthusiasm had doubled in confusion, not understanding what was going on.

Compared to Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai is much more tragic.

When the broadcast sounded, he didn't feel anything about Li Huaide becoming the deputy factory director. After all, he and Li Huaide had no friendship at all.

But when Chen Xu appeared on the radio, Yi Zhonghai's hands shook, and the parts he was finishing processing were scrapped.

"Yi Zhonghai, this is already the tenth part you have scrapped during this period. I will report everything to my superiors..."

The workshop director Guo Dapiezi appeared behind Yi Zhonghai like a ghost and said with a unfriendly look on his face.

He had long disliked this old fellow Yi Zhonghai. Over the years, he had ignored him because he relied on his status as a senior technician. Now, Yi Zhonghai's technical level had dropped significantly, and he was almost keeping an eye on him all day long.

In my heart, I wish this old guy could scrap a few more pieces, and then report it directly to the higher-ups and remove him from his position as a level seven fitter.

Yi Zhonghai remained silent. He and Guo Dapiaozi had never gotten along well. He knew it was useless to plead for mercy, so he simply ignored him.

"Humph..."

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai didn't say anything, Guo Dapiezi had no choice. It was common for parts to be scrapped when processed. Although Yi Zhonghai had some problems with his hands now, the scrap rate was just a little higher. This problem would not get rid of him.

Guo Dapiezi knew about this situation, and Yi Zhonghai also knew about it, and the two parted unhappily.

Looking at Guo Dapiezi who turned around and asked Qin Huairu about her well-being, a gleam of light flashed in Yi Zhonghai's eyes. It was not Yi Zhonghai's style to not fight back when being targeted.

This guy has a lustful problem, and Yi Zhonghai is waiting for an opportunity to make this guy unable to turn over.

Qin Huairu was a little annoyed. She knew very well what Guo Dapiezi was thinking, but the Jia family's current situation was obviously not to the point where they could not survive. Moreover, there were many people in the workshop, and she did not want to offend the workshop director, so she could only say a few perfunctory words.

When Chen Xu returned to his office, he wanted to laugh when he saw Lin Chan lying on the desk bored. The girl now followed him to and from work every day to do shopping, and her life was like she was shopping.

If there wasn't a space where I could go in from time to time to feed the small animals, I would probably be bored to death.

"You're back."

Seeing Chen Xu, Lin Chan instantly revived with full health.

"Well, it's okay. We'll go back to the countryside tomorrow."

"Ah."

Lin Chan was delighted. She had not expected that the last incident would keep her in Sijiu City for so long. She was a little homesick, as well as the small animals in the mountains. The space had expanded a lot again, so she planned to go back and catch some animals to raise in the space this time.

She doesn't have to worry about plants, but the animals in the space have no growth bonus, so relying on reproduction is not reliable at all. She has to go to Yanshan to get some for free.
