Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

When Director Yang and his companions saw that Zhou Tian remained silent, they understood the result. They looked at Zhou Tian with complicated and deep eyes and did not say a word for a long time.

"Xiaotian, can you please not leave?"

After a long time, Director Yang finally spoke bitterly. As soon as he said it, he immediately regretted it, knowing that he might have said something he shouldn't have said.

Sure enough, when Zhou Tian heard what Director Yang said, he shook his head and responded:

"Director, I am very grateful for your care for me over the past year or so, but this place is still somewhat restrictive for me, and you know that!"

Director Yang certainly understood what Zhou Tian meant, and it was precisely because of this that he regretted it. If he had been able to support him in his research, wouldn't he be in this situation today?

But he knew very well that this was impossible. After all, he did not have the courage to confront his superiors.

"Yes, it's because I, as the factory manager, didn't do enough!"

"Forget it, Xiaotian, since the matter has been settled, there is no point in saying anything now. In this case, I wish you can achieve great things in the machinery factory!"

The deputy factory directors didn't say a word from beginning to end. It wasn't that they didn't want to say anything, but from the conversation between the two men just now, they knew that Zhou Tian was still upset about the last incident. It can be said that they had an unshirkable responsibility for Zhou Tian's transfer from the steel rolling mill.

Suddenly, regret was revealed in their eyes. If they had known that things would turn out like this, perhaps they should not have agreed so readily. Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now.

"Director, thank you. To be honest, you have done a great job. I was able to develop several machine tools in such a short time. I will never forget your help!"

Zhou Tian said slowly, with sincere gratitude in his eyes.

He was always grateful to Director Yang. Although Director Yang's performance disappointed him many times later, he never forgot the kindness of being recognized and appreciated.

"Okay, let's stop talking about this. In the end, it's you who has the ability. Forget it, Xiaotian. I hope that when the steel mill comes to you for help in the future when it's in trouble, you can remember the friendship we had in the past and help out!"

Director Yang waved his hand and said. He had a premonition that after Zhou Tian left, the development of the steel rolling mill would soon be surpassed by the machinery factory. Even if there were many technical experts in the factory, the result would not change.

He now only hopes that Zhou Tian will remember his kindness and help the steel mill at the critical moment.

"Ok!"

Zhou Tian didn't say anything more, just nodded heavily. In fact, even if Director Yang didn't say it, he would do it when he had the ability. Although he was about to leave the steel mill, this was where his dream started and where his father had struggled. He was full of affection for this place.

Several people stayed in Zhou Tian’s office for a while and then said goodbye and left.

Looking at the backs of Director Yang and his companions as they left, Zhou Tian couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"If I had known this today, why did I do it in the first place?"

He whispered to himself, smiled bitterly and shook his head. Even though he knew the transfer order would be delivered tomorrow, for some reason, he didn't feel happy at all.

After get off work, Zhou Tian picked up Shen Yulin on his bicycle and went home. Along the way, perhaps because of what happened in the afternoon, there was no smile on his face.

As Zhou Tian's wife, Shen Yulin naturally noticed her husband's abnormality and asked with concern: "Boss, what's wrong? Did things go wrong at the factory today?"

"Nothing, just a little emotional. Wife, why do people always learn to cherish things only after they lose them? Can't we just live in peace from the beginning?"

Zhou Tian was riding his bicycle, thinking that he would have to leave the steel mill once the transfer order came tomorrow. A trace of sadness instantly flashed in his eyes as he asked.

"Boss, what happened to you?" Shen Yulin was shocked when she heard her husband's words. She panicked: "Boss, please don't scare me. What happened?"

"Nothing, it's just that some things that happened in the factory today made me a little sentimental!"

Perhaps sensing that his wife was panicking, he quickly came to his senses and answered with an effort of a smile.

"You scared me to death, I thought something bad happened to you. But boss, can you tell me about it?" Shen Yulin breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that her husband was fine.

"This..." Zhou Tian hesitated for a moment. He didn't want to bring work home, but now he clearly felt that if he didn't tell his wife, she might always have doubts, which would not be good for the fetus.

So he honestly told everything that happened in the factory, and after he finished, he sighed deeply.

"Wife, actually, I just wanted to study machine tools in the steel mill at the beginning. I didn't want to get involved in the internal struggles of the steel mill, nor did I want to care about things other than research. But in this environment, there are some things you just can't avoid. Do you think I'm doing the right thing?"

After listening to her husband's story, Shen Yulin finally understood the depression her husband had been feeling. Thinking of how cheerful her husband was at home, she felt distressed and leaned her head against his back, feeling the warmth from his body, hoping to give him some encouragement.

"Boss, I think you did the right thing. Since the steel mill no longer supports your research, you have no choice but to leave the steel mill. This may be a good thing for both you and the steel mill!"

"Yeah, maybe it's all good!"

Listening to his wife's comfort, Zhou Tian felt a sense of warmth in his heart for some reason, and he followed what his wife said, but a flash of loss still flashed across the depths of his eyes.

After returning home, Zhou Tian put away his inner disappointment and at least on the surface returned to his former state. Although he told his wife about the steel mill incident, he did not want his emotions to affect his family.

After dinner, the family didn't notice anything unusual about Zhou Tian, ​​only Shen Yulin occasionally looked at him with a hint of heartache in his eyes.

The next morning, Zhou Tian sent his wife to Union Hospital. Just as he was about to leave, he was held by Shen Yulin's hand, her beautiful eyes full of concern.

"The boss!"

"Okay, I know what you want to say. Don't worry, your man is not that easy to be defeated. Go to work obediently, I'm leaving!"

Looking at his wife's eyes, Zhou Tian realized that what he said to his wife yesterday might still have affected her. He couldn't help but smile brightly, interrupted her next words, and comforted her.

"Yeah!" Although Shen Yulin wanted to say a few words of comfort to her husband, when the words came to her lips, she didn't know how to start, so she could only nod obediently.

"Okay, go to work, I'm leaving!"

Zhou Tian said this, gently touched her head, got on his bike, and soon disappeared from Shen Yulin's sight.

When Zhou Tian arrived at the steel mill and walked into the technical department, he was stunned for a moment. He saw that the door of his office was surrounded by colleagues from the technical department.

This made him frown. Could something have happened? Confused, he hurried forward and shouted:

"You guys aren't at work, what are you doing here?"

"The director is here, the director is here!"

Hearing Zhou Tian's voice, a group of colleagues from the technical department shouted, and seeing Zhou Tian coming over, they surrounded him.

"Director, we heard that you were leaving the steel mill, wasn't that right?"

"Director, are you really going to leave the steel mill?"

"Director, this is false, right? You will not leave the steel mill!"

A group of colleagues from the Technical Department asked impatiently, their faces full of anticipation, their eyes all focused on Zhou Tian, ​​hoping to hear the director's denial.

But who would have thought that when Zhou Tian heard their words, he did not deny it, but remained silent.

"Director, please tell me, is this news fake?"

"Yes, Director, you are right. We don't believe you will leave the steel mill at all!"
