Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

Li Tianyi came to the technical department. At this time, all the people in the technical department had arrived. He first went to greet Section Chief Zhang, and then took everyone to the warehouse.

At this time, there were already three machine tools in the warehouse. Li Tianyi divided the technicians into three groups and cooperated with the workers to dismantle the machine tools.

Just like that, a week passed and the three machine tools were upgraded one after another, installed in the workshop and put into use.

And after receiving feedback from the workshop during this period, Director Yang has also received news that overall production has increased by about 30%, and this year's output is expected to be completed two months ahead of schedule.

Director Yang had talked to Li Tianyi before. Once the steel mill's machine transformation is completed, Director Yang will report to his superiors, and Li Tianyi will also write a written report to report the situation to the Ministry of Industry. After all, his work relationship is still with the Ministry of Industry.

Time flies, and a month has passed in a blink of an eye. It is now midsummer and the weather is hot, but the workers in the warehouse are full of enthusiasm for their work. Today is the last assembly of the machine tool. With Li Tianyi's order, the machine tool is powered on, and the workers start operating quickly.

Half an hour later, when the workers stopped what they were doing, Director Yang took the lead in announcing that the machine upgrade at the steel rolling mill had been successfully completed.

Suddenly, there was warm applause in the warehouse. Some technicians even had red eyes. The hard work of more than a month has not been in vain, and now they can finally see the results.

Director Yang took Li Tianyi and Section Chief Zhang to the cafeteria. A banquet had already been prepared in the cafeteria's small kitchen, waiting for their arrival.

Of course, the technicians were not forgotten. Although they could not participate in the celebration, they did not need to pay or receive tickets for their lunch today, as the factory reimbursed them.

If the factory has not yet closed for get off work, after settling Section Chief Zhang, Director Yang will bring Li Tianyi to the office and call his superiors.

But Li Tianyi stopped him, "Director, I think it would be better to make a written explanation so that the leaders can also check the data changes before and after in detail."

Director Yang thought about it and agreed, "Engineer Li, what you said makes sense. I'll trouble you with this matter, Engineer Li."

Li Tian nodded, "Okay, I'll give you the report when I get to work tomorrow."

Director Yang was very happy. It was an honor for their steel rolling mill that the Ministry of Industry could send such a great general.

At noon that day, Li Tianyi drank a little too much and did not go to work in the afternoon, so Director Yang sent him home directly.

After I got home, I took a rest first, and then started to complete the work report. I started writing this report a week ago. It contains the production data of the steel rolling mill in recent years and the data after the upgrade. By comparing the before and after, I can see the gap more clearly.

As soon as he got to work the next day, Li Tianyi took the report to Director Yang and said, "Director, I have finished writing the report. Can you take a look at it? Is there anything wrong?"

"Hahaha, Mr. Li, you are too modest. I know your level."

"Director, you are too kind."

Director Yang took the report and started reading it. Half an hour later, Director Yang gave a thumbs up and said, "Engineer Li, this report is well written and clear."

"Come on, you come with me to the Ministry of Industry and report the situation to the senior leader. Your work relationship is still in the Ministry of Industry, so you have to go back and take a look."

Of course Li Tianyi could hear such an obvious reminder, so he and Director Yang got into the jeep and drove to the Ministry of Industry.

When they arrived at the Ministry of Industry, Director Yang took Li Tianyi to the office of the big leader. He first greeted the secretary and asked the secretary to see if the big leader was free.

After a while, the secretary led Director Yang and Li Tianyi into the office. The big boss, who was the guy in the TV series who liked to eat Sha Zhu's cooking, was already waiting for them.

After Director Yang entered the room, he immediately greeted the man. Only then did Li Tianyi realize that this was the Deputy Minister of Industry, in charge of steel enterprises.

"Xiao Yang, what are you doing here today?"

"Commander, I'm here today to tell you good news. Our steel mill equipment has been upgraded, and the efficiency has increased by 30%."

The senior leader who was originally processing documents with his head down suddenly raised his head and looked at Director Yang and Li Tianyi with sharp eyes.

"Xiao Yang, you haven't introduced who is next to you yet?"

"Oh, leader, I was so excited just now that I forgot. This is Comrade Li Tianyi, a level 7 engineer assigned to the steel mill by our Ministry of Industry. He is also the main person in charge of this equipment upgrade."

The big boss then remembered that there was such a person in the Ministry of Industry. However, according to his understanding, Li Tianyi had only graduated for more than two months. Could he have achieved such results?

"It's Xiao Li, you are young and promising. The Ministry of Industry spent a lot of effort to recruit you. Those people in the Mechanical Research Institute are envious of you."

"Hello, Chief. You are so kind. It is only with the support of Director Yang and other leaders of the steel rolling mill that we were able to complete the equipment upgrade."

The big boss nodded. Although this young man is young, he speaks very carefully and is a talent that can be cultivated.

“Are there any data reports?”

"Yes, Mr. Li has finished writing the report. Please take a look." Director Yang took the report out of the briefcase.

The big boss took the report and read it carefully. Time passed by minute by minute. Director Yang and Li Tianyi sat on the sofa, waiting quietly.

An hour later, the big leader took off his glasses and looked at Li Tianyi in shock. Just now, Director Yang gave him the good news, and he thought that the factories below were exaggerating and lying about production. This trend has spread across the country recently. However, after reading Li Tianyi's report, the big leader was shocked by the detailed data in it.

"Xiao Li, are the data here real?"

Li Tianyi stood up immediately and said, "Commander, it is true. I compared the data collected after checking the factory's production data over the years and the equipment upgrades."

"Well, Xiao Li, your steel mill has made a great contribution. The country is in trouble now, and the leaders at the top advocate self-reliance and utilizing all available resources for production. You have done a great job in this regard."

"Commander, since Engineer Li entered the factory, in addition to upgrading the equipment, he has also repaired the abandoned machines in the warehouse and repaired 12 machine tools. I was thinking of reporting to my superiors in a few days to expand the steel rolling mill so that all the machines can be used."

The big boss nodded and said, "Xiao Yang, let me take some people to the steel mill tomorrow to take a look and then make a decision."

Director Yang nodded excitedly, "Welcome to your guidance."

"Xiao Li, I remember that your workplace is the Third Office of the Ministry of Industry. You should come back often. I guess you haven't collected your benefits for the past two months. Go find Section Chief Wang. He has kept your benefits for you."
