Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

On the way to the Ministry of Metallurgy, Sun Zhengguo had a feeling that the sky was high enough for birds to fly and the sea was wide enough for fish to swim.

After studying for so many years, I am finally entering a new field and realizing my ambitions. I ride my bicycle like a Hot Wheels and my face is always filled with a happy smile.

"Clang clang clang!"

When pedestrians on the road heard the bicycle bell and looked at the speed, they all tried to get out of the way, fearing that they would accidentally come into close contact with the bicycle.

"You're crazy! Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"

When he heard someone cursing on the road, Sun Zhengguo realized that he was riding a bicycle on the street. He quickly slowed down and drove leisurely towards the Ministry of Metallurgy.

At the gate of the Ministry of Metallurgy, a young sentry blocked Sun Zhengguo's way.

"Comrade! Please show me your ID."

Sun Zhengguo, who was stopped, then remembered that the Ministry of Metallurgy was a ministerial unit and not everyone could enter. He quickly took out the letter of introduction and handed it over.

"Hello, comrade. I am a newly assigned college student. Here is my letter of introduction."

The sentry took the letter of introduction, examined it carefully, confirmed its authenticity, and then let the person pass.

After entering the Ministry of Metallurgy building, Sun Zhengguo didn't know where to report, so he asked someone and then went to the Personnel Department on the second floor.

"Boom boom boom!"

In the office of the deputy director of the Personnel Department on the second floor, Deputy Director Jiang was drinking tea and reading a newspaper when he suddenly heard a knock on the door and shouted casually.

"Come in!"

A young girl pushed the door open, followed by a young man. Upon closer look, it could be no other than Sun Zhengguo.

"Deputy Director Jiang, this is Comrade Sun Zhengguo who has just been assigned to our Metallurgical Department. Because of your special instructions, I am bringing him to you."

"Okay! I understand. You can go out first! I will take care of the person."

The girl received the instruction and left the office. After she left, Deputy Director Jiang greeted her warmly.

"Comrade Sun Zhengguo, please take a seat. You're welcome. I'll do the formalities for you right away."

Sun Zhengguo is not a person who is ignorant of the ways of the world. Judging from Deputy Director Jiang's attitude, someone from above must have given him a heads-up.

"Thank you, Director Jiang."

"It's the deputy director. You can't call him the wrong name."

Deputy Director Jiang corrected with a smile.

In fact, he was already very happy in his heart. He would also like to remove the word "deputy". However, as a person in the system, it would be fine to just shout when no one is around. If someone with ulterior motives heard it, it would inevitably cause trouble.

"Hey! It's only a matter of time, only a matter of time!"

"Haha! No wonder Deputy Minister Bai thinks so highly of you. Not only are you competent, but you're also very likable. Not bad, not bad. If you need anything in the future, just come and find me."

Deputy Director Jiang was so happy that he revealed all his secrets. Sun Zhengguo then realized that it seemed that Deputy Minister Bai was quite nice to him and he would definitely visit him when he had time.

"Director Jiang, you smoke."

Sun Zhengguo took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes and handed one to Vice Minister Jiang.

Deputy Director Jiang also happily took it, put it on the table, and continued to fill out the information.

A few minutes later, Deputy Director Jiang, who had filled out the information, put down his pen, sorted out the information, and then spoke seriously.

"Comrade Sun Zhengguo, given your special situation, you have been assigned the 10th-level technician rank upon joining the company. If you want to be promoted to engineer, you can only rely on your own assessment. Do you understand?"

"Thank you, Director Jiang. I know all this."

"Well! The specific time of joining the company will be counted from the beginning of the year. Since you have been working for a long time, we cannot exploit your labor."

Sun Zhengguo nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that this was another work of Deputy Minister Bai.

"Okay, now we just have to wait for the materials to be filed. We are colleagues now. Your work permit will be sent to you in a while. You will be assigned to the Technical Department's Technical Section 1. I will take you there right now."

"Thank you, Director Jiang."

Sun Zhengguo is not stupid. He knows that there is a big difference between having someone deliver the goods and having no one deliver the goods.

This is to support him, which means that there is someone behind him to protect him, and it is Deputy Director Jiang who goes there in person, so anyone who wants to take advantage of him in the future will have to think twice.

After the two of them left the office, Deputy Director Jiang called the young girl who had led the way and arranged for her to go through the filing procedures.

After explaining the situation, the two went to the Technical Department downstairs and found the head of the department, Huang Guangcheng.

"Section Chief Huang, this is the newly assigned college student, Comrade Sun Zhengguo. I think you should know that he has been assigned to your section. Please make arrangements for him."

"Welcome, welcome! Comrade Sun Zhengguo, I have heard of your great name a long time ago."

Section Chief Huang stood up and shook hands with Sun Zhengguo enthusiastically.

"Chief Huang, you are too kind. I still need to learn from you seniors."

Sun Zhengguo also responded enthusiastically.

On the way here just now, Deputy Director Jiang had told him that Section Chief Huang was the only Level 8 engineer in the Ministry of Metallurgy, and Section Chief Chen of the Second Technical Section was a Level 9 engineer.

These two engineers are what Professor Wu calls "idiots", the typical example of people who are not fit for important tasks. It seems that they are also good at taking shortcuts. Just based on this point, Sun Zhengguo will have to be careful with them in the future.

After a few people greeted each other, Sun Zhengguo handed out cigarettes and they sat down to chat.

Sun Zhengguo also took the opportunity to take a look at Section Chief Huang.

Section Chief Huang was probably in his 40s, with a slightly bald head and a pair of old-fashioned glasses. His hooked nose in particular made people feel uncomfortable at first sight.

After they chatted for a while, Deputy Director Jiang had something to do, so he left first.

"Comrade Sun Zhengguo, although you are temporarily working with Professor Wu, you have now joined the Ministry of Metallurgy. I will arrange an office for you first!"

After Deputy Director Jiang left, Section Chief Huang made arrangements for Sun Zhengguo.

"Thank you very much, Chief Huang."

"You're welcome. After all, you will be a member of our department in the future!"

After the two finished talking, Sun Zhengguo followed Section Chief Huang to the office next door.

"Everyone stop for a moment, I'll introduce you to them."

Seeing the section chief coming, the two men and one woman in the office all stopped what they were doing and looked at Sun Zhengguo.

"This comrade Sun Zhengguo is a newly assigned college student and is now a Level 10 technician in our Technical Department ."

"ah!…"

Seeing the surprised expressions of several colleagues, Section Chief Huang was very satisfied.

In fact, there is a problem with his introduction. Sun Zhengguo has made so many contributions, but Section Chief Huang did not mention him at all, which easily leads people to have wild imaginations.

Sun Zhengguo who was standing beside him also realized that Section Chief Huang definitely had no good intentions and had attracted a wave of hatred from him as soon as he arrived.

Think about it, they have worked here for several years, and some are even level 12 technicians. Why do you just come and sit on our necks and pee and shit on us? How can we not hate you?

However, Sun Zhengguo ignored all this. He was not working here for the time being anyway, so why bother?

Next, Section Chief Huang introduced several colleagues to Sun Zhengguo.

Sun Zhengguo also nodded perfunctorily a few times and didn't even remember their names.

Section Chief Huang said this hypocritically when he saw that his goal had been achieved.

"Comrade Sun Zhengguo, we don't have any extra offices, so please bear with it and sit here first!"

Sun Zhengguo glanced at the desk in the corner, without any expression, and nodded.

After everything was arranged, Section Chief Huang left first, leaving only a few people in the office, staring at each other, not knowing what to say.
