Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

"Okay, from what you said, it seems that you have let it go. Since you have understood the matter, I am relieved. Next, you just need to follow the procedures. What's more, although you can't study machine tools in the factory, don't you still have the weapons research institute?"

Nie Guodong said meaningfully.

"Yeah! I also have a weapons research institute!"

Nie Guodong's words were like a wake-up call, instantly striking his heart. It was as if the darkness before his eyes was dispelled by an invisible force, and his mind suddenly became clear.

"Thank you, Chief. I understand!" Zhou Tian stood up and bowed deeply to Nie Guodong.

"Haha, just don't get mad at me next time. Okay, I'm leaving. But before I leave, I still want to say one thing. Sometimes you should not be fooled by the illusions in front of you. Hope and light are often just ahead! I'm leaving now!"

After Nie Guodong finished speaking, he stood up, dusted himself off, and walked out of the office.

Zhou Tian looked at Nie Guodong's departing figure and murmured in a voice so weak that it was almost imperceptible: "Thank you, Chief!"

He didn't sit down until Nie Guodong's figure completely disappeared, and then he sighed slightly.

"Haha, Director!"

He shook his head and said no more. Instead, he took out the drawing of the cylindrical grinder and started to modify it again.

Now that he wants to use the machine tool himself and no longer needs to go through the factory, he naturally has to completely overturn his previous ideas and make improvements again.

After all, when the cylindrical grinder was designed, many functions were deleted for fear that it was too advanced. Now that there is no need to worry about leakage, the more perfect it is, the better. We must do our best to make it more advanced.

"Director?"

Just as he was concentrating on improving the external cylindrical grinder, Dong Tianbao and Liu Wei walked in with grim expressions.

"what happened?"

When Zhou Tian saw two of his three generals, he couldn't help but look up at them and asked.

"Director, I'm afraid the production of cylindrical grinders can no longer continue!"

Dong Tianbao said with a hint of anger in his tone: "Those workshop directors are really too bullying. They shirked the tasks we assigned to them and mocked us. They didn't take our technical department seriously at all!"

"Yes! Director, these workshop directors rely on their backers in the factory and do not take our technical department seriously at all. They keep causing trouble for us!"

Liu Wei also interjected at the appropriate time.

"Oh, tell me, how did they cause trouble for you?"

Zhou Tian's expression did not change as he listened to the two people's complaints. After all, he had hit a wall with the factory director on the cylindrical grinder issue, and he was prepared for it, especially when he learned that the factory was no longer enthusiastic about his future research on lathes. At this moment, he wanted to know more about how these people were making things difficult for the Technical Department.

"Director, just like some time ago, we had arranged the car body production plan for the cylindrical grinder, and the director of the fifth workshop clearly took it over. But when I went to inquire about the progress today, the other party turned his face and said that he had never received such a task!"

"Also, during this period, several machine tools were clearly working properly, but the workers said that there were problems with the machines, and asked us to repair and inspect them frequently. As long as they didn't find any problems, they spread rumors among the workers that our technicians in the technical department were unskilled and incompetent!"

The two of them were talking back and forth, and the more Zhou Tian listened, the angrier he became. He originally thought that these people would at most hinder the manufacture of the cylindrical grinder, but he didn't expect them to be so bold. They were obviously relying on the support of others to constantly cause trouble for the technical department. This was not causing trouble for the technical department, but clearly an attempt to undermine his prestige among the workers.

"What a good plan, what a good plot!"

Zhou Tian said coldly in his heart.

Even after they finished speaking, they still looked indignant.

"Director, what do you think we should do?"

"Yes, Director, please give us an idea. If we continue like this, we won't be able to do anything and will just have to work around the machine tools that don't have any problems every day!"

"Okay, I already know about this. Since you let me make the decision, you two should notify everyone that starting from tomorrow, no one from my technical department will step into any workshop that has troubled you. Even if there is a problem with the machine tool, let them find someone to repair it. Our technical department will not care and dare not care. If anyone asks, just say this, I will take the responsibility if there is any problem!"

"Also, mark all the workshop directors who have given you trouble, and put them on the technical department's blacklist. You are not allowed to help with anything involving these workshop directors! Go and pass on this order verbatim. I don't want our technical department to look weak when being bullied!"

Zhou Tian was not angry, he just spoke calmly, but his words were chilling.

"Yes, Director!"

After hearing Zhou Tian's words, Liu Wei and Dong Tianbao suddenly gained more confidence, smiles instantly appeared on their faces, and they turned around and ran away happily.

"These two guys!" Seeing that they didn't even close the door, Zhou Tian shook his head helplessly, got up and went to close the door, then continued to work.

Before he knew it, it was time to get off work. Zhou Tianyi changed his habit of going home as soon as he got off work. He turned around and went to the security department first, chatted with Brother Song for a few words, then rode his bike to a courtyard house, talked with Uncle He at He Daqing's house for a few words, and then rushed home.

The next day, Zhou Tian did not get up with his wife Shen Yulin, but got up early. He said hello to his grandparents, his father-in-law, Li Yuling, and Shen Jie, and then rode to the steel mill. He wanted to see how these people would respond to his counterattack today.

As soon as he arrived at the steel rolling mill, he saw many workers being stopped outside the door by the security department, including the middle-aged man with spots on his face whom he met in Director Yang's office yesterday.

He was seen arguing with the security personnel with an angry look on his face. However, facing the anger of the spotted middle-aged man, the security personnel seemed to have no reaction, saying nothing, and just stopped him from entering.

When Zhou Tian saw this scene, he smiled, said nothing, and pushed the cart straight into the factory.

"Why doesn't he have to check his work ID, but I have to check my work ID before I can enter?"

The spotted middle-aged man suddenly pointed at Zhou Tian's back and spoke loudly.

"You are abusing your power and betraying the trust of your fellow workers!"

The security department was constantly being criticized, but in the face of the middle-aged man's provocation, the security department staff still said calmly: "I'm sorry, the factory regulations prohibit entry without a work permit! This is our responsibility, and no one is exempted!"

"But I saw Zhou Tian go in just now and you didn't stop him. Does this apply to everyone?" The middle-aged man was furious at the security department's words and shouted again.

"Who saw it? I didn't see it!" Unexpectedly, the security department member lied with open eyes.

"You! You, you are retaliating. I will report to Director Yang and let the leaders of the factory make the decision for us!" The spotted middle-aged man pointed at the security department member and was so angry that he couldn't speak for a moment.

"You can complain if you want, but we are just following orders!"

Let's not talk about the farce at the steel mill entrance for now, let's say Zhou Tian pushed the car to the technical department and parked the car. He did not go back to the office, but turned around and walked to the steel mill entrance to wait and see how the drama would end.
