Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

"Tang Lao, in fact, everyone knows this matter very well, but before the attitude of the higher-ups is clear, everyone chooses to protect themselves."

Zhou Tian spoke frankly on the phone.

Today, many systems in the factory still follow the previous master system. He does not think that this system is bad. After all, even if the eight-grade worker system is implemented, this system will still exist to a certain extent.

But we have to admit that the job grades of the workers at the moment are indeed somewhat unclear, which is also a shortcoming of the factory at present.

Just like when Zhou Tian was working at the steel mill, the salary of a mid-level worker was divided into several levels, and there was no objective rule for this grading. The salary was also determined by the factory director, which might be fine in a private factory, but it became a drawback in a state-owned enterprise.

"Ah, I didn't think it through. But I will report this matter to my superiors. By the way, Xiaotian, I heard that your lithography machine project has failed?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Tang sighed. After all, it was indeed his fault for not thinking this matter through. He then changed the subject and asked about the lithography machine project.

"It can't be considered a failure, it can only be said that it has been temporarily shelved."

Zhou Tian thought for a moment, still feeling a little uneasy, and explained.

"Let it be stranded, Xiaotian, don't be afraid of failure. Although our country is still very poor, we are not afraid of failure, but we are afraid of having no direction. As the saying goes, failure is the mother of success. You are still young, you must stand the test."

Perhaps because he was afraid that his words would hurt Zhou Tian's feelings, Mr. Tang comforted him on the phone.

However, Zhou Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry when hearing these words. He felt as if everyone thought that his lithography machine project had failed, but he couldn't explain it clearly, so he could only smile bitterly.

"Don't worry, Mr. Tang. I'm not that fragile. Besides, it's not a failure. It's just that the development of the domestic electronics industry is a bit slow."

Regardless of whether Mr. Tang believed it or not, Zhou Tian did not explain further. The two chatted for a while, and then Zhou Tian hung up the phone.

Shaking his head, he sat in a chair, thinking about the lithography machine project, and he still couldn't let it go. It was the first time in his life that he failed, and although it was not his fault, he still failed.

"Forget it, let's just fail!"

Without giving it any more thought, he returned to his work.

I don’t know whether the higher-ups have long planned to reform the wage system, or whether it’s time to promote the eight-grade worker system.

Three days later, when Zhou Tian was inspecting the workshop, the secretary hurried into the workshop.

"Director, it's Mr. Tang's call!"

Zhou Tian, ​​who was originally discussing tasks with the workshop director, was stunned when he heard this.

"Do you know what it is?"

Liu Yuan shook his head, and Zhou Tian turned to the workshop director and said, "Okay, I have explained almost everything. In short, all machine tools must be maintained strictly in accordance with the factory's maintenance system! If I find another violation, you will no longer be the workshop director! Do you understand?"

"Director, I understand. I will definitely carry it out seriously!"

The director wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly made the assurance.

"Okay, then it depends on your performance!"

After Zhou Tian finished speaking, he turned around and took Liu Yuan out of the workshop and returned to the office.

"Hello, Mr. Tang, it's me!"

"You said the eighth-level worker system has been approved? OK, I understand. I'll arrange it right away! OK!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Tian couldn't help but show a look of joy on his face.

"Xiao Liu, call a meeting immediately and have the announcer get ready in advance. I need to announce a decision from above this afternoon!"

"Okay, director!"

Liu Yuan responded and ran out in a hurry.

In the afternoon, after the meeting, Zhou Tian came to the broadcasting room.

"Hello, director!"

Dong Cheng, the head of the publicity section of the broadcasting room, came forward quickly, and the other female broadcasters also stood up hurriedly, each of them looking at the legendary factory director in front of them with their beautiful eyes.

"Chief Dong, are you ready?"

"Everything is ready, Director!"

Dong Cheng said respectfully.

"Okay then! Let's get started!"

As he spoke, Zhou Tian glanced at the announcers and nodded.

Then he sat on the chair. He coughed a few times into the microphone, and after hearing the effect, he spoke: "Attention, fellow workers, attention, fellow workers, I am your factory director Zhou Tian. I am your factory director Zhou Tian. Now I announce a decision from above, that is, starting from next month, the eight-level worker system will be officially implemented in our factory!"

"Brother workers, please take note..."

Zhou Tian's words instantly spread throughout the factory through the loudspeaker. After saying it three times in a row, Zhou Tian stopped, then stood up and looked at Dong Cheng.

"Section Chief Dong, starting from tomorrow, the main task of your Propaganda Department is to promote the Eighth Grade Worker System to the workers and let them understand the Eighth Grade Worker System as soon as possible. I will bring you a copy of the Eighth Grade Worker System later. Do you understand?"

"Understood, Director, please rest assured that our Propaganda Department will definitely complete the task you assign to us!"

Hearing the factory director's question, Dong Cheng immediately patted his chest and made a promise.

"Okay, that's what I want you to have. Okay, I'll be leaving first! I'll ask Xiao Liu to bring it to you later."

After saying that, Zhou Tian left the broadcasting room.

After returning to the office, he first reprinted several copies of the documents issued under the eighth-level worker system, and then asked Liu Yuan to deliver them to Dong Cheng.

The day passed quickly and before we knew it, it had darkened.

After work, Zhou Tian walked out of the administrative building. As he pushed his bike out of the gate of the machinery factory, he saw a familiar-looking jeep parked at the gate of the machinery factory.

"Xiao Tian!"

A familiar voice sounded, Zhou Tian looked in the direction of the voice and saw Song Lian sitting in the jeep waving at him.

"Brother Song, why are you here?"

When he saw Song Lian, Zhou Tian immediately showed a happy smile on his face and pushed the cart over.

"What are you talking about? Ever since you became the director of the machinery factory, tell me how long it has been since you went back to the steel rolling mill! Have you forgotten about us friends?" Song Lian laughed and punched him in the chest.

"How could that be possible, Brother Song? You know how busy I am. Didn't Weiguo tell you?"

"Don't mention that jerk to me. He hasn't been home for nearly a year since he came to the machinery factory with you."

Hearing Zhou Tian mention Song Weiguo, Song Lian complained, "It's better that he didn't come back. Every time I ask about it, I blame me for not taking good care of Weiguo. Don't you think this is harming people?"

Although Song Lian sounded complaining, the smile on his face showed that he was in a good mood.

"Come on, I thought you were here to see me, but you were here to see Weiguo?"

When Zhou Tian heard this, he understood that Song Lian didn't come here to find him, but to find his brother. He couldn't help but laugh angrily.

"Well, isn't this just by the way? By the way, have you seen Weiguo?"

Song Lian couldn't help showing a little embarrassment for a moment, but he quickly recovered and asked.

"Weiguo is now living in the factory dormitory. Originally, the factory allocated him a small courtyard in Mianhua Hutong, but he found it troublesome, so he lived in the factory. How about I take you in to find him?"

"No, I can go by myself. I've already wasted a lot of your time. If you don't go back, your wife will probably be worried. But you have to talk to the security department of your factory, otherwise I won't be able to get in."
