Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

"And Xiao Li, if you want to start a new project in the future, you need to submit an application to the department in advance, okay?"

Li Tianyi nodded embarrassedly, "Commander, I'm really sorry, I didn't know this, I will definitely correct it in the future."

“Hahahaha, it’s okay. You’re young, I understand. Just be careful next time.”

"I'll pay attention. I'll go find Section Chief Wang first. Director Yang, I'll wait for you downstairs later."

After saying that, Li Tianyi left the office and walked towards the third office.

Most of the engineers in this office are assigned to various factories and are not here most of the time. Section Chief Wang, as a level 6 engineer, stays in the rear and will provide support wherever there is a problem that cannot be solved.

Li Tianyi knocked on Section Chief Wang's office and waited for the person inside to respond. Li Tianyi pushed the door open and walked in. "Section Chief Wang, hello, I'm Li Tianyi."

Section Chief Wang looked at the young man in front of him and felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before. "Comrade, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Li Tianyi's face was filled with black lines. It seemed that he had not come to the Ministry of Industry very often. Even his direct superiors did not recognize him. "Chief Wang, I am an engineer in our office. It's just that I have been working at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill for the past two months and have not come back to report to you."

"Oh, it's you. Look at my brain." Section Chief Wang suddenly realized that this was the young engineer in their office who was always elusive.

"Come, sit down quickly. Why did you go back to the Ministry of Industry today?"

Li Tianyi didn't know what to say. Section Chief Wang was a straightforward person, so Li Tianyi told him the purpose of coming to the Ministry of Industry today. Section Chief Wang looked at Li Tianyi in shock. He didn't understand where this newly graduated level 7 engineer got the courage to upgrade the obsolete equipment from the big brother, and he managed to upgrade it successfully?

Could it be that his level 6 engineer certificate was fake? He actually managed to do something that I wasn't even sure I could do.

"Xiao Li, the young are really to be feared. It seems that I am really old." Section Chief Wang sighed while touching his white hair.

"Chief, please don't say that. It is said that an old person in the family is like a treasure. Your valuable experience is what we should learn from."

Section Chief Wang was amused by Li Tianyi's words. "You are really good at talking. Are you here today to get two months' benefits?"

"Yes, I wonder what benefits our department has?"

"You are now at the deputy section level, so your welfare includes one candy ticket and one pastry ticket every month. Before the New Year, you must remember to come here to collect the New Year's gifts."

"Thank you for reminding me, Chief. I know. There is one more thing, Chief. If I carry out a project next time, should I give you the report in advance?"

"That's right. After all, you work in the Ministry of Industry. Once you submit your application, your superiors will know what you are doing."

Li Tianyi said he understood, then sat with Section Chief Wang for a while. When he saw that the time was almost up, he said goodbye.

After leaving the office building, Li Tianyi was waiting for Director Yang's jeep. The driver had been sitting in the car. Li Tianyi explained the situation to him and then closed his eyes to rest.

After a while, Director Yang got in the car and the driver drove out of the gate of the Ministry of Industry.

"Engineer Li, we need you to check the machines in the warehouse when we get back, and try to leave a good impression on the leader tomorrow."

"I understand, Director Yang, don't worry."

The next morning, Li Tianyi arrived at the steel rolling mill early. At this time, the leaders of the factory were basically all present. After Director Yang returned yesterday, he informed everyone that the leaders of the Ministry of Industry were coming to inspect. The factory leaders were all very excited. This matter would benefit them all, and no one would cause trouble at this time.

After meeting Li Tianyi, Director Yang immediately asked about the machine. Li Tianyi assured that there would be no problems today, and Director Yang was relieved.

All the workers who came to work in the factory saw this strange scene today. A group of factory leaders stood in front of the factory gate, and Director Yang stretched his neck to look. The people in the courtyard also saw Li Tianyi, and saw him talking and laughing with Director Yang, and they were so envious and jealous.

Liu Haizhong was thinking, if he gave Li Tianyi some gifts, he would introduce him to the factory leaders?

Xu Damao looked at Li Tianyi with jealousy. They were of similar age, but their opportunities were very different. Li Tianyi had become a factory leader at the age of 19, while he was still a film projectionist.

Yi Zhonghai brought Jia Dongxu and Sha Zhu with him. No one knew what he was thinking, but his face looked particularly ugly. Since the last incident, the Li family never cooked in the courtyard. Even if Qin Huairu wanted to take advantage of the Li family, she couldn't do anything. She couldn't take a bowl to Li Tianyi's courtyard to ask for food.

Yan Jiecheng, who had been working for a month, only then realized Li Tianyi's status in the steel rolling mill. Before, he always thought that he was no worse than Li Tianyi. Li Tianyi was just good at studying, so he was assigned the job. But today, when he saw Li Tianyi standing among a group of leaders and looking very comfortable, Yan Jiecheng had to admit defeat.

At this moment, two Red Flag cars drove up to the gate of the steel rolling mill. Director Yang and several deputy directors immediately stepped forward. The top leaders and several middle-aged men got out of the cars, including Section Chief Wang.

The big boss shook hands with Director Yang and the others one by one, then he called Li Tianyi over specially. They walked and talked, and soon they arrived at the workshop.

The engineer who came with the big boss immediately came to the machine, watched the workers operate the machine, and recorded something while watching, while the big boss walked around several workshops.

Then I went to the warehouse, where the technicians from the technical department were already waiting. When the leader gave the order, they turned on the machines. The roar of the machines began to be heard, and the workers began to carry out daily operations.

The big boss was very happy. "Xiao Li, you have saved a lot of money for the country. Now many factories are short of machines, and the country can't buy new machines. This has seriously affected the country's industrial construction. Now that you can repair these machines, you can also repair the abandoned machines in other factories. After a while, you can go around the city and check all the machines inside."

The directors of the other factories were delighted when they heard this, but Director Yang's face changed drastically. "Chief, you can't poach Mr. Li. Mr. Li is an engineer at the steel mill. The steel mill can't do without him."

The big boss looked at him unhappily and said, "Xiao Yang, don't forget that Xiao Li is only seconded to the steel mill. His work relationship is still with the Ministry of Industry."

Director Yang had a bitter look on his face and didn't know what to say, but Li Tianyi had no objection to this. He was not working there anyway, and he could arrange the tractor project before going to other factories. As long as the steel rolling mill produced according to the dimensions on his drawings, there would be no problem at all.
