Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

"Xiaotian, I heard that you have been tortured by those guys in the technical department these days. What's wrong? Are you pretending not to understand now? Otherwise, Director Yang and I will not take care of it."

After Nie Guodong finished laughing, he looked at Zhou Tian and said with a hint of teasing in his eyes. Obviously, both he and Director Yang had guessed the purpose of Zhou Tian's coming here.

"No, Section Chief, Factory Director!"

Zhou Tian saw that this was not going to work, so he immediately stepped forward and said, "Section Chief, you are from our technical department, you can't just turn your elbow outward, how can you just let it go?"

"Nonsense, how can I be considered as a traitor? Don't forget, I am the director of the logistics department! You are the one in charge of the technical department."

When Nie Guodong heard this, he became unhappy and directly retorted.

"No! Chief, you changed your attitude too quickly..."

Zhou Tian was suddenly speechless after hearing what Nie Guodong said.

"Okay, Lao Nie, stop teasing him. Xiaotian, Lao Nie and I know what you want. In fact, we have already prepared it for you!"

Director Yang, who had been watching the fun on the side, saw that Zhou Tian was a little stiff after being confronted by Nie Guodong, so he couldn't help but try to smooth things over. He smiled and took out a stack of recruitment indicators from the drawer and handed them to Zhou Tian.

Zhou Tian took the recruitment indicators and counted them. He found that there were twenty of them. Immediately, a smile appeared on his face. He had been planning to ask whether the work indicators given by Director Chang before counted, but now that he had these twenty work indicators, he didn't need to ask.

After all, there are only fifteen people in the entire technical department, including him and Nie Guodong. Even if each person gets one ticket, there are still five tickets left, which is enough for him to bring his grandparents, his second uncle and aunt and their family up.

"Thank you, director!"

Zhou Tian quickly thanked the factory director and gave Nie Guodong a smug look, which made Nie Guodong laugh. He said, "You are really a mother who loves you. Why? The factory director gave you the quota and you know how to thank him. Then you don't need to thank me for speaking up for you just now?"

"Okay, Old Nie, why are you angry with Xiaotian? Our factory was able to decide on the recruitment so quickly, it can be said that it was all thanks to Xiaotian's horizontal lathe. But Xiaotian, I don't object to you researching agricultural machinery, but you should not forget your main job. After all, we are still a steel rolling mill, not an agricultural machinery factory!"

Obviously, Director Yang has already known about the experiments on the rice milling machine developed by Zhou Tian in the cafeteria in the past few days. Although the rice milling machine is much more advanced than the current rice milling machines in terms of efficiency and rice output rate, he still hopes that Zhou Tian can get the research back on track.

"Yes, Xiaotian, Director Yang is right. Director Yang and I agree that we will not deny your research on agricultural machinery. But you should know that industry is the focus of our country's development. The gap between us and foreign countries in industry is too big. If we want to catch up, we need a large number of machine tools. Your talent in machine tools is the best I have ever seen in my life, so I also hope that you can return to the research and development of machine tools!"

After hearing what Director Yang said, Nie Guodong also began to persuade him. It seemed that the two of them should have discussed Zhou Tian's research on agricultural machinery before Zhou Tian arrived.

Listening to the earnest advice of Director Yang and Nie Guodong, to be honest, it would be a lie for Zhou Tian to say that he was not moved. After all, although both of them had their own purposes, it could not be denied that they were indeed doing it for his own good. However, he could not tell them his concerns, and for a moment, he fell silent.

"Xiaotian, do you have any concerns? If so, you can tell us so that we can all refer to it. Don't carry it alone!"

Director Yang was such a shrewd man that he quickly saw from Zhou Tian's expression that he seemed to be worried about something, so he started asking directly.

"Yes! Xiaotian, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. If Director Yang and I really can't solve it, we can go find the leader to solve it together!"

After listening to Director Yang's words, Nie Guodong immediately reacted and asked.

Facing the gazes of the two people, Zhou Tian didn't know how to answer for a moment. After all, if he told the truth, he was afraid that the two people would get to the bottom of it, especially if the two people were also close to Big Brother, then wouldn't he be suspected of instigating bad relations between the two countries?

But if he didn't say it, facing the two people's relentless pressure, he really didn't want to create any barriers between them. After thinking about it, he decided to give it a try.

"Director, I wonder what you and the section chief think of the horizontal lathe I'm researching?"

Director Yang and Nie Guodong originally thought that Zhou Tian would express his concerns, but they did not expect that Zhou Tian would actually ask about their horizontal lathe. They were all stunned for a moment.

Nie Guodong was the first to react and said, "Xiaotian, your horizontal lathe has made great contributions to our country. Now, our horizontal lathes are no worse than those made abroad, and are even more advanced. It can be said that we have broken the technological blockade of foreign countries against us!"

Nie Guodong was not bragging when he said this. After all, the horizontal lathe studied by Zhou Tian was recognized by many scholars and experts, so he did not mean to praise Zhou Tian at all with this statement.

"Then do you think the horizontal lathe I'm researching is very advanced?"

Zhou Tian continued to ask.

Nie Guodong and Director Yang both nodded. This was beyond doubt.

"I heard that next year a large number of Big Brother experts will come to assist our country's industrial projects!"

Having said this, Zhou Tian stopped talking. After all, many things should be said only briefly. If the truth is revealed, it will not be a good thing not only for him, but also for Nie Guodong and Director Yang.

After all, Nie Guodong and Director Yang were people who had experienced a long period of war and had lived through that era. They quickly reacted and understood Zhou Tian's concerns.

But precisely because they understood, the two of them suddenly became speechless. Both of them knew about this matter, after all, it was not a secret.

What they didn't expect was that Zhou Tian could see so far. However, after thinking about it, the two felt that Zhou Tian's concerns might be reasonable.

After all, there are many senior officials now who are close to Big Brother. If Big Brother wants, Zhou Tian’s concerns may become a reality.

Thinking of this, the two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Obviously, they had no say at all on this issue.

Looking at this young and even immature little guy in front of them, they couldn't help but call him a monster in their hearts.

They had actually thought of various reasons why Zhou Tian might refuse to continue his research on the machine tool, but they had never thought of this problem.

"Xiaotian, this is indeed a difficult problem. Let's put it this way. Old Nie and I will report your concerns. As for the results, it depends on how the higher-ups handle it!"

Director Yang was an experienced person after all, and he quickly came up with a solution to the problem.

"But Director, if we report this, what if......"

Zhou Tian suddenly became anxious. You know, this was just his guess. Although Big Brother was unreliable, it had not happened yet. If the leader was also close to Big Brother, wouldn't that directly expose his existence?

Wouldn't he be in danger then? When he thought of this, he regretted telling the two of them about his concerns.

Perhaps seeing Zhou Tian’s worry, Director Yang and Nie Guodong looked at each other and smiled.
