Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

In the afternoon, in front of the machinery factory.

Zhou Tianzheng, Song Weiguo, Song Lian, Zheng Weiguo and others stood outside the gate waiting anxiously.

"Director, when will the people from above arrive? It's already four o'clock in the afternoon! We have been waiting for more than an hour."

Song Weiguo lowered his head to look at the time, paced back and forth, and asked with a hint of impatience in his expression.

They had been waiting here for more than an hour, but there was no sign of any vehicle or person, which made them become a little anxious.

"Okay, don't worry, it should be here soon!"

Although Zhou Tian tried to comfort Song Weiguo verbally, he felt irritated for no reason in his heart.

"Here they come, Director, look, here they come!"

Just when he felt a little impatient, Song Lian suddenly pointed into the distance and said happily.

"It's here, it's finally here!"

Zhou Tian couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw two jeeps coming from a distance.

"Okay, everyone stand up and get ready to welcome!"

As he spoke, he took the lead and stood in the front, and finally stopped as the jeep slowly approached.

A middle-aged man in a Mao suit got out of the car first. When he saw Zhou Tian, ​​he smiled and walked up to him, shook his hand and explained, "Hahaha, please forgive me, Director Zhou. We are a little late because of something unexpected!"

"Hahahaha, big boss, it's okay, it's okay. I didn't expect you to lead the team this time. I'm really flattered. Please come in!"

The person who came was actually the big leader, Deputy Minister Zhang. The two had not seen each other for a long time since Mr. Hong was transferred away. Even though Zhou Tian went to the Ministry of Machinery several times, he did not see him. He did not expect that it was him who came this time, which made Zhou Tian feel pleasantly surprised.

Holding the big boss's hands with both hands, the smile on his face suddenly became more sincere.

"Okay, let's go in and talk!"

Deputy Minister Zhang also held Zhou Tian's hands with both hands, and the two walked towards the machinery factory.

At this time, the four middle-aged men who had just got off the jeep looked at each other in confusion, and could only smile bitterly and follow closely, entering the machinery factory like Song Lian and the others.

"Oh my god, I remember we haven't seen each other for a long time!"

Deputy Minister Zhang held Zhou Tian's hand and said with some emotion as they walked that he still clearly remembered the scene when he and Mr. Hong went to the steel mill together and met Zhou Tian for the first time.

At that time, Zhou Tian was still so immature, and even his speech was a little restrained, but now after growing up over the past few years, he has become much more stable.

Repeated research and development, and continuous breakthroughs made him love this child very much. Even Mr. Hong thought highly of him. Unfortunately, Mr. Hong passed away.

Although he is still the deputy minister of the Ministry of Machinery, his status and voice are no longer what they used to be.

But this kid is still the best in the Ministry of Machinery. Both Minister Xie and the people above him still value him. Now it can be said that this kid’s say in the Ministry of Machinery is even more important than his.

"Boss, yes, we haven't seen each other for more than a year!"

Zhou Tian sighed inwardly when he heard this. He actually knew why the big boss didn't want to see him. To put it bluntly, it was also for his own good. He didn't want him to get involved in some political affairs and keep his original intention.

This is also the reason why he did not take the initiative to contact the big boss even though he knew it was in the Machinery Department, because he did not want to cause trouble for himself, nor did he want to cause trouble for the big boss.

To put it bluntly, he is very clear about his position, that is, a scientific researcher. If he really gets involved, then with his political wisdom, he will easily be defeated by the tide of the times.

The two of them sighed to each other and came to the conference room, which was already full of the machinery factory's leaders.

When the big boss and Zhou Tian walked in together, the noisy meeting room suddenly became quiet. Zhou Tian asked the big boss to sit in the main seat, and then he sat down on the left of the big boss. Song Weiguo and the five deputy factory directors also sat down.

As for Song Lian and the other four, they sat in the first row below.

Looking at the people below, the big leader, Deputy Minister Zhang, first talked about the recognition and praise for the machinery factory from above, and then introduced four deputy factory directors to everyone. Two of them were from the Machinery Department, Zhang Mingzhi and Jiang Long, and the other two were from the Ordnance Bureau, Chang Weijun and Zheng Tianhua.

The leader also emphasized the resumes of the four people several times. Zhang Mingzhi was the director of Liaodong Machinery Factory, Jiang Long was the chief engineer of Minnan Machinery Factory, Chang Weijun was the chief designer from North China Military Factory, and Zheng Tianhua was a master in the machinery field from Northwest Military Factory.

After listening to the introduction of the big leader, even though Zhou Tian knew that the superiors attached great importance to the machinery factory, he did not expect that this time he would be given such a big surprise and three talents in the mechanical field were sent to him at once.

For a moment, his heart began to boil, and his eyes were filled with intense heat as he looked at the three people.

It turned out that he was the only one in charge of the machinery factory. Even if he had many ideas, he could only follow the procedures step by step due to the lack of talent.

It seems that many projects have been researched, but in fact, compared with the entire industrial system and his goals, they are simply insignificant. It is not that he does not want to speed up the research progress, but there are not many people available in the entire machinery factory.

Even these people in the factory now, although they have received his training, can only be used for basic research. If they are switched to more complex projects, I am afraid they still cannot keep up with his research pace.

This is also why Zhou Tian stopped his research during this period. On the one hand, there are so many projects in the factory that it will take some time to digest them. On the other hand, it is also because of the shortage of talent.

Now, with the help of these three deputy factory directors, he believed that if he studied some projects in the mechanical field next, he would no longer be struggling alone.

The more Zhou Tian thought about it, the more he felt that his superiors were wise. The only pity was that there were still too few talented people. It would be great if they could send a hundred or eighty people to their machinery factory this time.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, as the leader finished his speech, warm applause broke out in the entire conference room.

Zhou Tianze followed the crowd and clapped his hands. However, he did not hear a word of what the leader had just said.

After the big boss finished speaking, Zhou Tian naturally also said a lot of things. The gist of it was to live up to the trust of the organization and the higher-ups and strive to at least increase the factory's production capacity several times by next year.

At the same time, they looked into the future and praised the abilities of several deputy factory managers, and the whole meeting ended.

After the meeting, Zhou Tian originally wanted to have a meal with the big boss at the machinery factory, but was rejected by the big boss. After all, he didn't intend to cause trouble at the moment, so after giving instructions to several deputy factory directors, he hurriedly left the machinery factory.
