"Director, please speak up. Are you going to say that this news is not true?"

Amid the constant questioning from the crowd, Zhou Tian didn't know how to answer, nor did he know what to say to satisfy everyone.

"What are you all doing here?"

At this moment, Nie Guodong's voice suddenly came from behind everyone.

"Director Nie, we want to know if you really want to leave us and the steel mill!"

"Yes, Director Nie, you are the leader of the factory, you should know, just tell us!"

Nie Guodong thought that the people gathered at Zhou Tian's door to cause trouble, but he didn't expect it was for this matter. For a moment, he admitted that he was a little jealous. However, thinking that Zhou Tian would soon leave the steel mill, he couldn't help but feel reluctant to let him go. He said, "Go away, what does this have to do with you? Besides, even if your director leaves, it's a promotion. You should congratulate him instead of making trouble here. Go back to work!"

After Nie Guodong said this, everyone in the technical department fell silent. A trace of disappointment flashed across everyone's face. Although Nie Guodong didn't say it clearly, they were not stupid. They knew from the words that the director might really leave. Thinking back to the time they had spent together as a teacher and friend for more than half a year, some people's eyes began to turn red.

"Director, we can't bear to part with you!"

"Director... wuwuwuwu!"

As several female employees were talking, tears suddenly welled up in their eyes and they turned around and ran back crying.

"Okay, everyone, go back to work. Just like Director Nie said, even if I really leave, it's still a promotion. Everyone should celebrate for me. Okay, everyone, go back!"

Zhou Tian looked at the reluctance in everyone's eyes, and he himself was reluctant to leave. But things must have a conclusion, so he waved his hand and began to drive everyone away.

"Director!"

Hearing that everyone wanted to say more, Zhou Tian couldn't help but frown, and an inexplicable aura instantly surged out.

"Everyone go back!"

Everyone was startled for a moment. Seeing that Zhou Tian seemed really angry, they swallowed back the words they were about to say and could only return to the technical department, looking back every step of the way.

Only after everyone had left did Zhou let out a long sigh of relief, suppressing his inner discomfort and looking at Nie Guodong.

"Chief, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

As he spoke, there was a hint of loss in his tone.

"Well, considering our relationship, it's too formal to say these things!"

Nie Guodong looked at the ugly smile on Zhou Tian's face, and couldn't help but walk forward and patted his shoulder hard.

"To be honest, I was a little jealous after seeing what happened just now!"

"Section Chief, you are joking. It's all because they are ignorant and I have neglected to teach them. Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go in and talk!"

Zhou Tian excused everyone and opened the office door. The two of them walked in one after the other.

"Oh my god, are you really leaving?"

Zhou Tian, ​​who was pouring tea for Nie Guodong, paused slightly and nodded when he heard the section chief's words.

"Yes, Chief, I'm leaving, and today!"

He did not hide anything from Nie Guodong, and he couldn't hide it either, after all, his transfer order would be issued today.

"Hey, Xiaotian, I thought we could continue to work together in the steel mill, but I didn't expect you to leave in the blink of an eye!"

Nie Guodong took the tea handed to him by Zhou Tian and said with a sigh.

He still remembers Zhou Tian's immature and anxious face when he said he wanted to develop a horizontal lathe a year ago. He never expected that in the blink of an eye, this immature boy would be heading for a new position, and would even become a deputy department-level official before him.

"Yeah, time flies!"

Zhou Tian was also quite emotional. He did not expect that he and the steel rolling mill would come to this point today. He still clearly remembers the excitement when the section chief fully supported him in developing the horizontal lathe. It was the full support of the section chief and the continuous promotion of Director Yang that enabled him to step by step from a senior master to the deputy department level today.

It can be said that every progress he made was inseparable from the help of the two. And now, they are going their separate ways. Although there are many external factors, in the end, he still feels that he owes them a lot.

Just as Zhou Tian and Nie Guodong were talking to each other.

The second workshop.

"Master Liu, Master Liu, did you know? It seems that Master Zhou is going to be transferred out of the steel mill?"

Liu Wuming was busy at the workbench when the workshop director Chang Chunlai suddenly ran in and came up to him and spoke loudly.

"what?"

Liu Wuming's hands, which were originally operating the machine tool, stopped instantly. He quickly stopped the work in his hands, turned off the machine tool, and looked at the workshop director Chang Chunlai.

"Director, what did you just say?"

"Master Liu, I heard that Master Zhou Tianzhou is going to be transferred out of the steel mill!"

Chang Chunlai looked at Liu Wuming and spoke again.

"How could this happen? Director, did Xiaotian make any mistakes, or did he get into trouble?"

Liu Wuming panicked now, and quickly grabbed Chang Chunlai's arm and asked anxiously.

"It's okay, it's okay, Master Liu, don't worry. I heard that it seems to be a good thing. He is going to be the director of the newly built machinery factory! And he has been promoted!"

Chang Chunlai did not pay attention to Liu Wuming's actions. Instead, he comforted him and told him the information he had heard.

"Director?"

Liu Wuming was even more confused now and couldn't help but let go of Chang Chunlai. He couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. He was happy that his apprentice Zhou Tian could be promoted to factory director so quickly, but he was also sad that his apprentice had left the steel mill.

"Master Liu, what's wrong with you?"

Chang Chunlai saw Liu Wuming's complex expression and couldn't help but ask with concern. He didn't dare to let Liu Wuming have any problems in the workshop, because he was Master Zhou's master. If there was any problem, Master Zhou would hold him accountable, and he would have a hard time explaining himself.

"It's okay, Director. Can I take a morning off? I want to go see him!"

Liu Wuming reacted quickly, looked at Chang Chunlai and asked.

"Of course, no need to ask for leave, just go now!"

"Thank you, Director. I'm leaving now!"

After saying that, Liu Wuming hurriedly left the workshop and walked towards the technical department.

Similarly, He Daqing, Zhou Weimin and his wife, Zhou Jun and Zhou Min from the cafeteria all asked for leave from their respective leaders and ran to the technical department at the same time.

At this moment, Zhou Tian was in the office of the Technical Department. Naturally, he didn't know that his second uncle and aunt, Zhou Jun, Zhou Min, and master Liu Wuming were about to arrive. He was still chatting with Nie Guodong in the office.

They recalled the development of the steel mill at that time and talked about their respective prospects for the future of the steel mill.

Just when the two were chatting excitedly, "Bang!" The sound of a door being pushed open woke them up from their conversation.

Zhou Tian was about to get angry when he saw his master Liu Wuming, He Daqing, and his second uncle and second aunt all running in. His anger instantly dissipated, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Master, Uncle He, Second Uncle and Second Aunt, Xiaojun and Xiaomin, why are you here?"

"Xiaotian, I heard from the director that you are leaving the steel mill. Is this true?"

Liu Wuming ignored Nie Guodong and asked first. As for He Daqing and the others who followed, they also looked at him with nervousness in their eyes.

"Yes, Master!"

Zhou Tian opened his mouth and wanted to make up an excuse, but when he saw the worry in their eyes, his heart warmed. He no longer concealed it and nodded to admit it.

"Xiaotian, why is this happening? Did you do something wrong?"

He Daqing immediately asked anxiously.

You know, in the steel mill, he and a few others have the best relationship with Zhou Tian. Seeing that Xiao Tian, ​​who has a promising future, is rising steadily in the factory, but at this critical moment, he is about to be transferred, which makes He Daqing worry for a moment, wondering if Zhou Tian has done something wrong.

As for my second uncle and second aunt's family, their eyes were filled with extreme worry.

"It's okay, Master, Uncle He, this is a decision from above, and it's a good thing for me too!"
