The winner of life in the courtyard

Chapter 150 The Helpless Adou
"Brother, let's do this. Ask everyone to slow down as much as possible when drawing the blueprints and pay more attention. I will check the finished blueprints every afternoon!"

"Otherwise, unless I am a god, I won't be able to check it all!"

Shen Zhiping guessed Lu Dasheng's intention and naturally would not refuse.

But he is not a god. If the drawings are not up to standard, it will increase his workload.

Therefore, it is better to do things slowly and carefully.

"This speed is already very slow!"

Lu Dasheng sighed. There were some things he really couldn't tell Shen Zhiping.

After drawing blueprints for such a long time, the people in the technical department have become a little numb.

This job is supposed to be delicate, but after repeating this mechanical work day after day, everyone is a little exhausted.

This is a lack of spirit, and the error rate will naturally become higher and higher.

It's not that Lu Dasheng didn't want to boost morale, but if he wanted to boost morale, there must be substantial rewards. But the problem is, there is none!
Director Yang can only shout slogans.

"Brother, if things don't change, you can go find Deputy Director Li!"

"Deputy Director Li has a lot of ideas for our technical department."

Shen Zhiping felt that his senior brother was still too conservative.

It’s been 1963!
The wind will not be far from starting, so it is time to get closer to Lao Li. By that time, you will be more or less Lao Li's direct descendant.

This is much better than being forced to surrender at that time!
Moreover, getting closer to Lao Li at this time is also for work.

Even if Lao Li has a bad reputation, it cannot be blamed on Lu Dasheng. He was forced to do so!

“I’ve found it!”

Lu Dasheng sighed again, "Deputy Director Li meant that if Director Yang doesn't agree, it will be difficult for him to do this!"

Shen Zhiping frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "What does Deputy Director Li mean? Is he going to compromise with Director Yang?"

"Where should I go?"

Lu Dasheng was also very confused at the moment.

In the past, Deputy Director Li had been eyeing Director Yang covetously, but now, Deputy Director Li has obviously slowed down his offensive against Director Yang.

"Junior brother, how about you go talk to Deputy Director Li?"

Lu Dasheng had no choice but to ask Shen Zhiping for help.

Shen Zhiping just rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, aren't you making things difficult for me?"

"Before coming here, I just went to see Deputy Director Li. It's not appropriate to go to see Deputy Director Li again!"

Shen Zhiping didn't really want to go to see Deputy Director Li, even though he was really nice to him. But the problem was that he had just been there and got a lot of tickets from him, so it would be hard to justify going there again.

Well, at least, in the eyes of Deputy Director Li, he is a worthless person.

"Forget it, I'll go find Director Yang!"

Shen Zhiping thought about it and felt that this matter still fell on Director Yang.

After all, Director Yang is in charge of production.

The technical department was too slow in producing the drawings, so the Beijiao branch would be late in putting it into production. This was a major event that affected the factory's production, and if Director Yang didn't take care of it, he would have to take responsibility.

Even if Director Yang wanted to shift the blame to the technical department, it would be impossible.

The technical department doesn't have many staff, and there are so many problems with the machines here. It's ridiculous to put the blame on the technical department.

After all, it was not the technical department that broke the machines; instead, it was the people in the technical department who were trying their best to save these machines.

You said these machines have been used for a long time?
Haha, at this time, as long as there is no machine that is completely broken, there is no possibility of scrapping. After all, there is a real shortage of various machines and equipment at present. Even if the level of these machines and equipment is very backward, as long as they can be used, they are good machines!
"Can you go find Director Yang?"

"I've looked for it several times before!"

When Lu Dasheng thought about Director Yang's behavior, he was really angry.

Wanting the horse to run but not giving it grass to eat is simply unkind.

Workers in the steel mill receive this kind of welfare subsidy for overtime work, but when it comes to the technical department, no one cares about them even though they work so hard.

Damn, isn’t mental work considered labor?
The hard work of mental labor is not much different from that of physical labor.

Shen Zhiping thought for a moment and said, "Let's give it a try. If it works, then it works. If it doesn't, then we can just take our time. Anyway, we've been working on it. If it doesn't work, it won't be a big deal if we wait for a year or two!"

If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it grass.

Although people at this time all have a fighting spirit, the intensity of this spirit varies.

To get chicken blood, there must be a supply of chicken blood!
Shen Zhiping came and left in a hurry.

After returning to the rolling mill, he found Director Yang again and gave him a detailed report on the situation of the North Suburb Branch.

"Director, we must find a way!"

"The progress is too slow now, we need to find someone to help!"

Shen Zhiping did not ask Director Yang for a reward directly, but instead took another approach, hoping that Director Yang could find someone to help.

It is undoubtedly impossible to find someone to help.

Technicians are treasures in every factory. Moreover, every profession has its own expertise, and not just any technician can do this kind of work.

“This is difficult!”

When Director Yang heard Shen Zhiping asking him to find someone for help, his first reaction was that this was impossible.

It would not be difficult to find one or two people to help temporarily, but the machinery and equipment at the North Suburbs Branch had such a big problem that this matter could not be spread outside.

Although some news about this kind of thing is bound to spread, as long as there is no clear evidence, it can be covered up and the leaders above will not cause trouble for him.

But if we ask technical personnel from other units to come for support, haha, this matter can no longer be hidden.

By then, who knows who will stab you.

He had just gained some praise from his superiors by recommending Shen Zhiping to participate in a confidential project. If this matter were to be made public, it would be a serious offense, and his merits and demerits might even offset each other.

"Director, if we can't find someone to help, at the current rate, it will take at least half a year to repair all the machinery and equipment at the North Suburbs Branch!"

"How many?!"

Director Yang suddenly lost his composure.

Half a year!

If the North Suburbs branch really cannot be fully operational within half a year, this matter will surely be exposed, and then he will be held accountable!

"Director, half a year is still a lucky period!"

“After the drawings are out, we have to process the corresponding parts, which takes time!”

"Comrade Shen Zhiping, can't the technical department speed up a bit?"

Director Yang finally became anxious and could no longer sit back and relax as before.

"Director, let me be frank. You are an outsider in this kind of thing and you don't understand the ins and outs of it."

"The work that colleagues in the technical department are currently doing is measurement and drawing. It looks simple and doesn't seem to require much thought. But in fact, it is not the case at all!" "This kind of work is too repetitive. Doing the same thing for a long time will make people numb and easily distracted when doing the work."

"If you lose focus even a little bit, or make a small mistake in a drawing, the parts made from this drawing will not meet the standards!"

"If you don't believe me, just do one thing: count from one to five hundred. See if you make any mistakes while counting and you'll know!"

Shen Zhiping has worked very hard to obtain benefits for his colleagues in the technical department.

He didn't know what Director Yang thought about the people in the technical department, but Shen Zhiping knew that many people felt that the people in the technical department had an easy job, much easier than the workers in the workshop.

Therefore, many people feel that it is unfair that people in technical fields receive high salaries.

But in fact, only those who have experienced it can understand the pain of mental labor.

After listening to Shen Zhiping's words, Director Yang pondered for a long time, and finally did not give an immediate response.

"How about this, let's hold a meeting at the factory to discuss this matter. I will find a way to solve it as soon as possible!"

Director Yang was actually quite dissatisfied, especially with Shen Zhiping. He always felt that Shen Zhiping was deliberately making things difficult for him, or even trying to scare him, with the purpose of getting benefits for the people in the technical department.

However, Director Yang really didn't dare to do anything to Shen Zhiping. After all, Shen Zhiping had helped the superiors solve a big problem this time and was truly a great contributor.

If the project was not confidential, why would Shen Zhiping continue to stay in the steel mill?
"Director, maybe, never mind, you decide!"

Shen Zhiping could sense that Director Yang was somewhat dissatisfied with him, and even felt that he was making things difficult for him. Shen Zhiping wanted to explain something, but after thinking about it, he finally said nothing.

If others don't think about themselves, then no matter how much you say, they will just think you are quibbling.

After leaving Director Yang's office, Shen Zhiping returned to the technical department and did not go back to the Beijiao branch. Director Yang, who was in charge of production, was not in a hurry himself, so why should a working person like him be in a hurry?
He has fulfilled his responsibility in this matter.

……

Until he got off work in the afternoon, Shen Zhiping had not received any decision from the factory.

"Sure enough, this boy is not worth consulting with!"

Shen Zhiping had completely lost hope in Director Yang.

Although Shen Zhiping had no intention of getting close to Director Yang from the beginning, but if Director Yang was really ambitious, then Shen Zhiping really wouldn't mind getting Director Yang some great achievements before the storm so that he could jump out of the quagmire of the steel mill.

But now it seems that Director Yang is really a hopeless person.

Shen Zhiping did not go to talk about the matter to Director Yang, nor did he go to Deputy Director Li. Anyway, the leaders were not in a hurry, so why should a small fry like him be in a hurry?
The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is.

This is simply because the eunuch has no vision!
Returning to the courtyard, Shen Zhiping just entered the alley and saw Qin Huairu.

"Engineer Shen!"

Qin Huairu was also quite surprised to meet Shen Zhiping. A rare smile appeared on her obviously haggard and pale face.

"Comrade Qin Huairu, you have to take care of your health!"

When Shen Zhiping saw Qin Huairu's expression, he subconsciously reminded her.

"..."

Qin Huairu didn't reply, but there was obviously a little more joy on her face.

Unfortunately, after Shen Zhiping said this to her, he had already pushed his bicycle past.

Qin Huairu stood there, looking at Shen Zhiping's back, wanting to call him to stop, but in the end no sound came out.

Shen Zhiping didn't know how Qin Huairu would react after he passed her. He went straight into the courtyard. As soon as he entered, he saw Yan Bugui hanging clothes to dry in front of his house.

"Teacher Yan!"

Shen Zhiping greeted Yan Bugui, nodded, and prepared to return to the East Courtyard.

"Engineer Shen, wait!"

Yan Bugui suddenly spoke up and stopped Shen Zhiping.

Shen Zhiping stopped and looked at Yan Bugui. He didn't understand why the other party called him.

"Engineer Shen, there's something I want to talk to you about!"

Yan Bugui put down the clothes in his hand and walked closer to Shen Zhiping.

"Teacher Yan, please speak!"

Shen Zhiping had some recognition of Yan Bugui, but it was only a little bit.

After all, he didn't want to be tricked.

"That's right, it's the Jia family in the middle courtyard!"

The moment Yan Bugui opened his mouth, Shen Zhiping frowned. What does the Jia family's affairs have to do with Yan Bugui?
In the plot, Yi Zhonghai is the one who takes care of all the affairs of the Jia family.

Now, because of his interference, Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family have not only fallen out, but the harmony they once had is gone.

"Engineer Shen, isn't Qin Huairu, the daughter-in-law of the Jia family, going to take over the steel mill soon?"

"She's a lesbian and she just had a miscarriage."

"We all live in the same courtyard. I was thinking, if Engineer Shen can help, then let him help. As the old saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor!"

Yan Bugui finished speaking in one breath.

Shen Zhiping was a little confused. He didn't understand why Yan Bugui came out to plead for Qin Huairu!
"Teacher Yan, if I can help with this matter, I will definitely help. I mentioned it to the factory director before, and the factory director also said that the factory will make arrangements as appropriate."

"Is that so, Engineer Shen? I knew you are a kind-hearted person!"

After hearing Shen Zhiping's response, Yan Bugui started to praise him directly.

Shen Zhiping laughed and said, "Teacher Yan, you are so kind!"

"I just did what I should do. Besides, this matter is up to the leaders. There is still no conclusion. Please don't praise me. If Comrade Qin Huairu ends up going to the fitter workshop, I can't bear the responsibility!"

Qin Huairu went to the steel rolling mill to take over Jia Dongxu's job, and Jia Dongxu was a fitter, so theoretically Qin Huairu had to work as a fitter.

But Qin Huairu is obviously not a strong and powerful woman, and she has inherent deficiencies in being a fitter.

But the problem is, if Qin Huairu doesn't work as a fitter, he won't be able to do other jobs whenever he wants.

A carrot and a pit!

Besides, there is no reason for Shen Zhiping to put so much effort into such matters.

He has nothing to do with Qin Huairu.

Moreover, as a gay man, if it were to get out that he was so concerned about the work of a widow, it would not give him a good reputation.

"Engineer Shen, look at you, you underestimate yourself!"

"Didn't Lou Xiao'e find a good job at the steel mill?"

As soon as Yan Bugui said this, Shen Zhiping's face became completely gloomy.

"Teacher Yan, what do you mean by this?"

Shen Zhiping looked at Yan Bugui coldly.
