Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

At present, we are in an important period of economic transformation. Many state-owned manufacturing industries have closed down, and even those that have survived are struggling to survive. Very few of them can maintain a good development momentum. There are almost no examples like Su Chen who took over and developed it to such an outstanding level. Being able to work under such management has greatly increased the self-confidence of the employees of these tractor factories.

In addition, Su Chen made this decision for a deeper reason - to prevent psychological impact on the workers of the steel mill. As long as Su Chen took over the tractor factory, the news would spread quickly and eventually be known to the workers of the steel mill.

Once they realize that Suchen intends to give the two factories the same treatment, they will inevitably feel that they are not as valued as the tractor factory. The resulting dissatisfaction may directly lead to a decline in work efficiency. "Why does such a small unit earn less than us and have the same income as us?" In order to avoid similar resentful thoughts among workers, Suchen decisively decided to keep the wages and benefits of the tractor factory unchanged for the time being.

While Su Chen was carrying out a series of purchases at the Changhong Tractor Factory, the person in charge of the industry who had accompanied the Tuoguo Consul on the visit was anxiously trying to contact Su Chen. Because he had just learned in the morning that a military superior had decided to inspect the steel mill the next day. This made the person in charge very nervous: the Red Star Steel Mill was undoubtedly the best performer. If this angered the leader and caused the factory's rating to drop, it would be a great pity.

Since he did not find the target he was looking for in the steel mill, Zhang had to turn to his assistant and ask him to inform the factory director of the importance of this matter. "We must let the military leaders have a good impression of our factory. This is a crucial link. The future performance of the steel mill depends on this performance." The person in charge was worried and kept reminding him. Then he continued with his other matters, but before leaving, he still reminded his assistant to inform Su Chen of the urgency of the matter. Faced with this sudden instruction, the assistant was confused: the steel mill was running well, why did someone suddenly visit? Is it because they are too outstanding and attract the envy of others?

After finishing the work at hand and splitting up with Yang Xue, all that remained for Su Chen was to go to the steel rolling mill to handle daily operations as usual.

Therefore, he did not plan to let Yang Xue go with him.

Yang Xue could use this time to go home and explain the situation. She had not returned home all night and she didn't know what her family would say about "287".

When Su Chen came back from the tractor factory, he happened to meet Assistant Zhang who came to see him.

"Director, Manager Zhang came to see you not long ago." "What did he want to see me about?" Su Chen was puzzled, as he had not had any work that required him to contact the Ministry of Industry recently.

"Manager Zhang said that military leaders will come to our factory for inspection tomorrow and asked you to make preparations in advance." Zhang Aimin was also puzzled. He had no idea that the military was coming to the factory for inspection.

Seeing the factory director's reaction, Zhang Aimin realized that Su Chen had not received this notice either, so he was not sure why there would be such a leadership inspection.

Su Chen felt helpless after hearing this. Isn't it just an ordinary inspection? Why is there so much formality?

"Go get a few banners and hang them at the factory gate. Just write some welcome words on them. You don't need to prepare anything else." After saying that, he urged Assistant Zhang to leave.

"Director, is this really okay? Supervisor Zhang has repeatedly reminded us that we must take this inspection seriously." Zhang Aimin asked worriedly. After all, this was an important matter that Supervisor Zhang from the Ministry of Industry had specifically instructed us to do.

He always felt that it was a bit too casual to treat such an important examination like this. "It's okay, just do as I say."

Since the factory director has already said so, Zhang Aimin has no choice.

Today, the steel mill is operating at overload, and product production is insufficient to meet market demand. All the foreign exchange earned must go through Su Chen. How can he spare any extra time to perform those empty rituals?

Regardless of whether the leader came or not, the situation in the factory was like this. Therefore, Su Chen didn't care about welcoming the leader at all.

After all, the current steel mill is developing very well, and the growing trend cannot be reversed by any force. Even if some leaders deliberately set limits, it is not something that outsiders can tell.

Even if all the leaders come to inspect, what will happen? Su Chen will still prioritize the completion of his work. It is impossible to suspend production and let employees receive the leaders just because of the visit.

Time is money! One more minute of productivity can bring him more wealth. And at present, every profit point in this factory goes into Su Chen's own pocket, so he is unwilling to stop production.

After processing the documents and returning to the office, there were more tasks waiting for Su Chen to deal with. Even after so many days of hard work, facing the pile of documents still gave Su Chen a headache.

When he got off work, he was so tired that he almost fell down. It was not because he was physically tired, but because he felt stressed by the reports with piles of numbers. When the bell rang, Su Chen left the office eagerly and rushed back to his courtyard home.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the compound, he saw Bang Geng leaving with a smile on his face and brisk steps.

Seeing Banggeng like this, Su Chen's heart moved, knowing that this kid had most likely found a job. Banggeng had already shown off in the yard and was walking out. When he saw Su Chen coming, he felt even more proud. With the help of Shazhu, he eventually became the driver of a big boss.

Nowadays, driving is all about connections. Although Banggeng is a little uneducated, his driving skills are decent, so he passed the interview to be a driver under the big boss. Shazhu lost his job, but accidentally got in touch with the big boss. I don't know if it's a blessing in disguise, or if stupid people have good luck.

Seeing Su Chen coming in, Bang Geng walked towards him without hesitation. "Isn't this Su Chen? Are you off work?"

Su Chen was too lazy to pay attention to him at first, but seeing his smug look, he deliberately stopped to hear what kind of job he had found that could make him act so proud.

"Yeah, I just got off work. How about you?"

Su Chen deliberately brought up the topic and waited for Bang Geng to speak. As expected, Bang Geng looked very pleased with himself.

"I just got off work too. I was driving all day and I'm really tired."

"The places I go in and out of every day are all important places. There's nothing I can do about it. This is the case for people who are valued by the leaders." Bang Geng tapped his shoulder pretentiously.

His meaning was very clear: he had found a good job for himself. Su Chen understood it immediately.

Recalling the TV series he had watched before, Su Chen remembered that Sha Zhu once knew a big boss. This boss valued Sha Zhu very much and was willing to arrange a position for him. If it was really the big boss who helped him, Su Chen could understand it.

If it weren't for Sha Zhu's troublesome personality, Su Chen might have helped him. Su Chen looked at the smug Bang Geng and nodded slightly in agreement.

"It's good to find a job, so do it well."

But this reaction obviously made Banggeng a little dissatisfied. He thought that his words did not attract enough attention, so he continued to emphasize: "This is a big leader. Even though he is retired now, many people have to listen to him." "Do you know? Where does he live?"

Bang Geng gestured carefully, but didn't dare to say the place, for fear that there might be ears on the other side. After all, Sha Zhu had also told him not to mention the name of the big boss.

Su Chen naturally understood his eagerness to show off, so he nodded politely. But his calmness made Bang Geng a little furious.

"I am now the driver of that big boss. Sometimes when we go out, some smaller leaders will call me comrade when they see me."

In Banggeng's opinion, being the driver of that big boss was much more noble than an ordinary factory manager like Su Chen. Who was Su Chen? He was just an ordinary factory manager.

However, what Banggeng didn't know was that in Su Chen's eyes, the leaders of the Ministry of Industry were on an equal footing with him. Thinking of this, his pride became even more obvious.

The huge foreign exchange earnings brought by Su Chen made those leaders ecstatic, and it was impossible for them to put on official airs in front of Su Chen. Even the top leaders of the Ministry of Industry were very friendly to Su Chen. Moreover, in Bang Geng's eyes, these bigwigs were eager to show more enthusiasm in order to get close to Su Chen.

However, Bang Geng was completely unaware of all this. He never took the reform of the steel mill to heart, and therefore never expected that it would receive such high attention.

The more Banggeng saw Su Chen doing well, the more uncomfortable he felt. Not only did he not want to hear any news about the steel mill, he didn't want to know the situation. Now he realized the embarrassing situation caused by his arrogance.

However, Banggeng was still proud and complacent. He kept bragging about his work achievements in front of Su Chen, but he didn't realize that he was like a clown.

As the two stood outside the door in a stalemate, the sound of brakes was heard from afar. The courtyard is located in a relatively hidden place and cannot be reached directly by car. Yang Xue got out of the car and rushed over with the design plan.

After the special interaction the night before, her relationship with Su Chen had changed subtly. Although their conversation was still as natural as before, they both knew in their hearts that their identities were already unusual. Yang Xue also felt the special tacit understanding between the two and assumed that they had entered the lover stage.

Therefore, after finishing her housework, Yang Xue saw that Su Chen was busy with work, so she started to design and renovate the house that Su Chen bought... Although the existing design was considered very good, it was more suitable for living alone. As Yang Xue and Su Chen officially established a relationship, considering that they might live together in the future, this layout seemed inappropriate.

Therefore, Yang Xue planned to renovate the house to create an environment more conducive to the two of them living together, and move in as soon as possible. Yang Xue did not think too much about whether Su Chen would accept this situation, because in her mind, their marriage would eventually be a natural outcome.

Although her family may have some expectations of her partner, in Yang Xue's heart, Su Chen's strength is enough so that she doesn't have to worry about her family conditions.

When Yang Xue thought of the happy wedding in the future, she felt extremely warm inside.

As soon as she entered the alley, she saw Su Chen's figure. Although he was quite far away, she recognized him at a glance, "Su Chen."

Yang Xue called his name and walked towards Su Chen. When she got closer, she found another person next to her. "Who is this?"

"It's just a neighbor, don't worry about it. What are you doing here?" Su Chen was a little surprised. He thought Yang Xue would go home and have a good rest today, even though she walked with him as usual when she went to Changhong Tractor Factory this morning. But with Su Chen's excellent observation, he knew that Yang Xue was actually feeling unwell at the time, but he didn't ask more questions to avoid embarrassing her.

After all, with her strong personality, she naturally didn't want Su Chen to be too concerned about these details.

"I drew a design at home and wanted to show it to you. What do you think of decorating the house like this in the future?"

As Yang Xue spoke, she handed the design drawings in her hand to Su Chen.

After receiving the blueprint, Su Chen took a quick look and found that the design was very detailed. Yang Xue was obviously a talented designer. She replanned the apartment that Su Chen was going to buy and replaced all the furniture and decorations inside. Su Chen also noticed that the blueprint reserved a workspace for the two of them, especially his exclusive study area.
