Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

Zhou Tian was kicked out of the office by Minister Xie, and he couldn't help but look a little indignant.

"Aren't they just those projects? If I hadn't really been reluctant to leave my wife, children and family at home, I might have been able to complete those projects earlier if I had gone!"

However, although he complained, he knew very well in his heart that if he was really asked to go, he would probably not be willing to go.

After going downstairs, Zhou Tian drove towards the research institute, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. To be honest, before coming here, he had no confidence at all for this trip. After all, many experiences told him that the chances of applying for talents in this era are about the same as winning the lottery in his previous life.

But who would have thought that Minister Xie would actually take the initiative to offer talents and policies, which really made him puzzled. Did the minister take the wrong medicine? Or did he have some idea about himself?

The more he thought about it, the more his thoughts became distracted.

It was not until he returned to the research institute that he came to his senses and secretly laughed at his own wild thoughts.

Fortunately, this trip was not in vain. Not only did the problem of management talent get solved, but we also got the right to make independent decisions for the family building. Now it depends on whether the assistant dean will approve it. If this decision is approved, it is possible that the deputy dean of the institute will be selected from the assistant dean in the future.

After returning to the office, Zhou Tian called Song Weiguo and Zhang Mingzhi to inform them of the decision.

After the two received the news from the dean, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They were worried that the establishment of the position of assistant to the dean would be displeased by the higher-ups, but they didn't expect that in such an unexpected turn of events, the dean actually went to the Mechanical Department in person.

They also proactively reported this issue. In this way, if it is really approved, they will not have to worry about the subsequent impact of this incident in the future.

It just so happened that they had just told the six selected people about this matter. Faced with such a good thing, the six people naturally agreed without any objection. After all, they were not stupid and could naturally see the benefits of being the dean's assistant for future promotions.

Time flies and it's time to get off work.

Zhou Tian also put away the drawings, went downstairs, and rode his bike back home.

As soon as he got home, he saw a familiar figure chatting with his grandparents.

"Uncle, why are you here? You are such a rare guest!"

Zhou Tian walked in, picked up his youngest son, Zhinan, who was rushing towards him, and looked at Zhou Weimin with a smile.

"Xiaotian, how can you talk like that? Weiguo is still your uncle no matter what!"

When the grandfather heard what his eldest grandson said, he couldn't help but glance at Zhou Tian, ​​and then he looked at Zhou Weimin, whose old face was flushed, with deep meaning in his eyes.

Obviously, the old man also heard the complaints of his eldest grandson. Although the family had just visited Luo's house more than ten days ago to propose marriage for Zhou Min, in the final analysis, what the second son did was indeed worthy of criticism.

"Xiaotian, Second Uncle has no other options, right? The main thing is, the main thing is..."

Zhou Weimin also understood what his nephew meant, but the problem was that he was also a man who cared about his reputation. They felt a little flattered that their nephew had brought their family to the old city to work as workers.

As their nephew's status became higher and higher, they didn't want to be accused of currying favor with the powerful, so they gradually reduced the number of interactions with Zhou Tian's family.

"Okay, I get it. But second uncle, I don't know what you're thinking. We are originally a family. It's you who insists on having different opinions. Does that mean that if I become the factory director or the dean, I'm no longer your nephew? I'm no longer the elder brother of Xiaojun and Xiaomin?"

Zhou Tian sat helplessly beside his second uncle and held Zhifeng in his arms. He also knew that as his status became higher and higher, many people and things had become different.

But the problem is that his second uncle and he are a family, and he doesn't want to see the relationship between his second uncle's family and their family becoming increasingly distant. In fact, not only his second uncle, but even Zhou Jun and Zhou Min seem to be influenced by his second uncle's family. They are a little restrained when facing him, which puzzles him.

He had wanted to have a good talk with his second uncle about this issue for a long time, but he never had the time, so he never went into details. Now that his second uncle had come to him in person today, he naturally did not want to miss this opportunity.

"Second brother, my eldest grandson is right. I mean, you guys think too much. My eldest grandson is not the kind of person who looks down on poor relatives!"

At this moment, grandma also said while holding little Zhiyi, it can be seen that the old lady also disagrees with her second son's behavior.

"Mom and Dad, Xiaotian, I also know that Xiaotian is my nephew and will not look down on our family, but the problem is that Xiaotian's status is too high now. After all, we are ordinary people. In addition, if I come to see Xiaotian often, what do you think we should do if others ask Xiaotian to do something?"

Zhou Weimin listened to his mother's words, and picked up the pipe and lit it up, feeling very depressed.

Doesn't he want to show off that he has such a capable nephew? To be honest, he dreams of it, but the problem is that after showing off, his life will remain the same, and what can he possibly get? Even if the factory leaders give him a cadre position for the sake of his nephew, does he have the ability to do so?

No, if that's the case, then why does he have to show off? The most important thing is, if the leader asks him to go to his nephew to do something, he should decide whether to go. If he goes, it may cause trouble to his nephew, and if he doesn't go, he will offend his leader.

So in his opinion, instead of doing this, it would be better to be an ordinary worker in peace and stability.

How great it is that it won’t cause trouble to my nephew, nor will it cause trouble to myself.

"Uncle, I know what you mean, but the problem is, do you think that even if you don't say anything, the leaders of your steel mill won't know? If you don't associate with us, will there be less gossip? Will there be less trouble? I told Uncle, no, if that's the case, then why should we care about these things? As long as we act uprightly and do the right thing, why should we be afraid of these things!"

Although his uncle's words made sense at first glance, Zhou Tian disagreed. Apart from other things, just the few years he worked in the steel mill, didn't he know many people? He could be sure that anyone who cared knew the relationship between his uncle's family and him.

Even though it is a courtyard house, everyone who should know knows about it. But it is the second uncle who does this, which seems like he is trying to cover up his crime.

"Second brother, what Xiaotian said is not wrong, you are thinking wrongly. People often say that when we are born in this world, we must learn to make use of everything around us. People interact with each other for what? Besides interests, it is feelings!"

"Let's be realistic. Xiaotian has reached this position today. Have you ever thought about why he helped your family? One reason is for your future livelihood, and the other is that he hopes you can help him in the future!"

"It takes three to make a man. Yes, you are just an ordinary worker now, but won't you make progress? Won't you struggle? We are not afraid of a low starting point, but we are afraid that you will be content with the status quo. The reason why Xiaotian is not afraid of exposing your relationship with him is that he is doing it for others to see. This is also paving the way for you. But what about you, especially you, a blockhead who can't figure anything out and still thinks you are right."

"Don't you think that if you can all develop, it will be of greater help to Xiaotian!"

As soon as grandpa said this, Zhou Weimin, who was smoking silently, suddenly brightened up his eyes. Even Zhou Tian was extremely surprised by the old man's words, although he knew that the old man was not an ordinary person when he was young.

But now that these words have been spoken, it is more than simple. He is simply the most sober person. Not only did he hit upon his plan, but he even dispelled his second uncle's confusion in one fell swoop!
