Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

The next day, when Zhou Tian went to work, he was shocked to find that the steel mill was very different today. The security at the gate seemed to have changed significantly, with a lot more people standing guard with guns, which made him feel as if he was in a military factory.

Not far from the entrance of the steel mill, a police station suddenly appeared overnight. Even in the factory, many security personnel were patrolling.

"What on earth is going on?" Zhou Tian was full of doubts. Instead of going back to the technical department, he went straight to the factory director's office.

"Chief Zhou!" Just as he reached the door of the factory director's office, Zheng Weiguo happened to walk out.

"Brother Zheng, has something major happened in the factory?" Zhou Tian pulled Zheng Weiguo aside and asked in a low voice.

"No, there's nothing big happening in the factory recently." Hearing Zhou Tian's question, Zheng Weiguo was thinking about various matters in the factory and answered with a confused look on his face.

"Then why are there so many more security guards in the factory today, and there is also an additional police station outside the factory?"

"So that's what Section Chief Zhou was talking about. This matter is actually related to you, Section Chief Zhou!"

"Is it related to me?" Zhou Tian was stunned for a moment. A thought suddenly flashed through his mind. Could it be that someone wanted to assassinate him again?

Perhaps seeing Zhou Tian's confusion, Zheng Weiguo whispered: "Chief Zhou, it's hard for me to say this. The factory director is here, so you should go in and ask him!" As he said that, Zheng Weiguo looked at him with envy, then turned and went downstairs.

Zhou Tian shook his head, looking confused. But thinking that he might be able to get an answer from the factory director, he turned around and knocked on the door of the factory director's office.

"Come in!"

Hearing the factory director's voice, Zhou Tian pushed the door open and walked in. As soon as he entered, he saw the factory director and Song Lian sitting on the sofa, talking seriously. When the two saw that it was Zhou Tian who came in, they smiled at the same time.

"Director, Brother Song, you are all here!" Zhou Tian stepped forward to greet them.

"Xiaotian, you're here just in time. Come, come and sit down. The factory director and I were just talking about you!" Song Lian waved at Zhou Tian.

"Speaking of me?" Zhou Tian walked over with a hint of confusion when he heard that and sat down in front of the two of them.

"Xiaotian, you should have seen the changes in the factory on your way here!"

When Zhou Tian heard Brother Song mention this, he nodded immediately. After all, he had just asked Zheng Weiguo about it. When he heard Brother Song mention it, he immediately perked up and listened carefully.

"This is arranged by the higher-ups. From today on, our factory is officially upgraded to a department-level enterprise. And thanks to you, Brother Song, I am now the director of the security department of the steel rolling mill!"

"Upgraded? Director of the Security Department?" Zhou Tian was shocked by what Song said. If he remembered correctly, in his past life, the steel mill was indeed a department-level enterprise, but it was officially upgraded after 56.

But it’s only 51 years now, not even 52 years yet, and it’s already been upgraded. Isn’t that a bit too fast?

No wonder there are so many security personnel in the factory all of a sudden. It seems this is one of the reasons.

Zhou Tian thought about it, but congratulated: "Congratulations to Brother Song and the factory director!"

After all, if the steel mill can be upgraded, then Song Ge and the factory director will naturally rise with it, at least one level up. Although the difference between deputy director and director is only one step, only people in the system understand how big the gap is.

Once you reach the rank of senior official, you have basically entered the ranks of senior cadres.

As for Brother Song saying that it was all thanks to him, he didn't care. In his opinion, Brother Song was just being humble. He didn't think that the factory's upgrading had anything to do with him.

Although he developed a lot of machine tools and weapons, they were nothing compared to the real big guns. He didn't think that these alone could influence the higher-ups to upgrade the steel mill, and he didn't think he had that much influence.

Director Yang and Song Lian saw Zhou Tian's indifferent expression, and they immediately realized that Zhou Tian might not know how big a role he played in all this.

"Xiaotian, Director Song is right. This time our factory was able to be upgraded, and Director Song and I were able to be promoted. It can be said that it is all thanks to you!"

Afraid that Zhou Tian didn't understand, Director Yang also explained: "Xiaotian, do you remember what I told you, that if you develop the boring machine, your superiors will give you a reward?"

Zhou Tian nodded. Of course he remembered this. After all, Director Yang had told him this several times. How could he not remember it?

"The reward was about to be decided last time, but yesterday you told me that you had developed the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, AK47 and 107 multiple rocket launcher. I reported your matter yesterday, and the leaders immediately took it seriously. After asking Zhang, the head of the military factory, for confirmation, they held a meeting overnight and decided to upgrade the factory!"

"In order to ensure your safety in the factory, the superiors gave priority to upgrading the level of the security department and specially set up a police station around the steel mill!"

After listening to Director Yang's words, Zhou Tian finally understood why such a huge change had occurred in the factory today, but he was also shocked at the same time. Was he really taking himself too seriously?

"Director, Brother Song, is what you said true?"

It's no wonder he didn't believe it, because he knew his own weight very well. Although it seemed that he did develop a lot of machine tools and several weapons.

But you have to know that in this era, there are some scientists who are much more capable than him, like Mr. Qian and those who are silently contributing in the Northwest.

He dared to say that there were many scientists who were more knowledgeable and even more powerful than him.

And he has only researched these things, which is nothing compared to these great people who have contributed silently.

"Yeah! It's true!"

When he saw Director Yang and Brother Song both nodded in confirmation, he let out a deep breath, but what followed was the heavy pressure that came out of nowhere.

"By the way, Xiaotian, after the superiors knew that you also had such a high talent in weapon research, they specially applied for a position in the Weapons Research Institute for you. That means from today on, you will not only be officially promoted to the director of the Technical Department, but also the director of the Weapons Research Institute! As for the personnel of the institute, the military will send someone to contact you!"

Perhaps because he was afraid that the news was not shocking enough, Director Yang soon told him another piece of news that was even more shocking.

"The director of the technical department? And the director of the research institute!"

Zhou Tian was so shocked by this series of news that he couldn't recover for a long time. He never thought that his research results would bring such a huge impact and change.

Not only was he promoted, he even jumped from deputy section level to department level in one step.

"Director, this...can I do this?" Zhou Tian felt both excited and nervous.

"Xiaotian, you have to believe in yourself. Your abilities are obvious to everyone, and your superiors have made the decision after careful consideration." Director Yang encouraged.

Song Lian also echoed: "That's right, Xiaotian, don't underestimate yourself. This is such a good opportunity, you must seize it."

Zhou Tian took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Director, Brother Song, I understand. I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations."

Coming out of the factory director's office, Zhou Tian felt like he was dreaming.
