Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 71 Xue Peihua Comes to See You

Minister Zhang of the First Ministry of Machine Building, after visiting the factory to see the efficiency of the CNC machine tools, held a meeting in the ministry when he returned.

At the same time, all the comparative data between CNC machine tools and traditional machine tools submitted by Zhou Fengnian and Luo Cheng were handed in, as well as the trend of CNC machine tools for future industrial development.

It seemed that some permissions were obtained not long after that. This time, not only the sister factories were mobilized, but also some senior workers from the factories under the sister departments were seconded.

In addition to coming to help, the staff from the university also wanted to learn from us.

We can both cooperate and learn from each other. I don’t know how the leaders of the ministry talked to the other party, but we reached an agreement on cooperation in less than a day.

In a few days, people might arrive.

Fortunately, the group from Tsinghua University did not need to be accommodated overnight, otherwise the factory would have had a real headache.

Zhou Fengnian was somewhat surprised when he heard the news from Luo Cheng. This was also something Luo Cheng "accidentally" learned from Director Li.

Luo Cheng added, "Fengnian, the 17th workshop is too small and can't accommodate so many machine tools. The factory plans to build a new workshop in the vacant land in front of the logistics warehouse."

"That? That's good. You'll be safe from now on."

After being reminded, Zhou Fengnian quickly remembered that the vacant lot was very close to the Security Department.

With a howl, they could wake up the two teams of security personnel who were resting, so they could be said to be safe.

At this time, it doesn’t take a long time to build a new workshop. Just build a house on flat ground, provide a place to shelter from wind and rain, and lay electrical lines.

Given the leadership's emphasis on CNC machine tools, they will be able to move to the new workshop in less than half a month.

Afterwards, Luo Cheng talked about some other things with Zhou Fengnian and then returned to the workshop to continue monitoring the manufacturing of parts.

After training, Luo Cheng can now use CNC machine tools. He lets the lathe operators process semi-finished parts, and then sends them to the CNC machine tools to process them into finished products.

CNC machine tools are very efficient. As long as the control system can keep up, a second CNC machine tool can be assembled in ten days.

More senior workers will come to provide assistance in the future, and the tasks assigned by the ministry will definitely be completed.

After Luo Cheng left, Zhou Fengnian also got busy with other things. The drawings had to be revised. After all, the previous drawings were for quick production, so this time they had to be neater and more standardized.

------

dong dong!

Hearing someone knocking on the door, Zhou Fengnian asked without even looking up: "Who is it? Come in."

"Fengnian, someone is looking for you."

Liu Ganming poked his head in and spoke carefully in a low voice.

At noon, Luo Cheng came back and consulted with Zhou Fengnian. After seeing this, they really couldn't tell who was the head of the technical department.

Zhou Fengnian looked up and asked, "Who is it? From the factory office? Wait a minute, I'll clean up."

If it was from the factory leader, he would have to put the drawings away first before letting anyone in.

"No, it's Xue Peihua from the Publicity Department."

After hearing the last name, Zhou Fengnian was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a few seconds, he sat back in his seat and said, "Say I'm not here."

"A good year, this."

"I'm dealing with an important confidential matter and I can't see outsiders. The section chief's office can't let anyone in. Just reply like this."

Although the memories of his original body had little effect on him, he should avoid Xue Peihua if possible.

A spoiled woman can do whatever she wants, but her family has considerable power.

People like this are a trouble.

"Fengnian, is this okay?" Liu Ganming asked after a moment of hesitation. Xue Peihua was considered a beauty in the Propaganda Department, and her appearance was not inferior to Zhou Yan, so he felt a little reluctant to refuse.

Zhou Fengnian sighed, looked up and said, "How about I go talk to Luo Gong?"

"No, no, I'll go talk to Xue Peihua right away."

When Liu Ganming heard Luo Cheng's name, he quickly shook his head and then closed the door and turned to leave.

After walking to the entrance of the technical department, he said to Xue Peihua who was waiting outside: "Comrade Xue, Fengnian is busy with a confidentiality mission and has no time to come out to see you."

"He won't come to see me?"

Xue Peihua's pretty face flushed with anger after hearing this, and she gritted her teeth in reluctance.

He had followed her around and asked about her well-being before, but he immediately left when she mentioned marriage. Even though her request was a bit excessive, Zhou Fengnian showed no sign of negotiating.
This sense of disparity made Xue Peihua very dissatisfied, and he even felt jealous of Zhou Yan, especially after Zhou Fengnian's performance became more and more outstanding.

If Zhou Fengnian had not been a level 14 technician and had achieved what he has now, she would not have made such a request.

"Comrade Xue, Fengnian is really busy right now, how about you come back later?"

Xue Peihua said unwillingly, "Tell him that it is Deputy Director Zhang Anhong who wants to see him."

"Deputy Director Zhang?"

Liu Ganming was stunned after hearing this, and then he felt quite envious. He had heard that Xue Peihua had a relationship with the factory leaders. Was it Deputy Director Zhang?
"Okay, I'll go talk to Fengnian."

Liu Ganming went to the section chief's office again, but soon came back with a droopy face and said to Xue Peihua
"Comrade Xue, please go back. Fengnian is very busy now and has no time."

After saying that, he closed the door without giving Xue Peihua a chance to speak.

Just now, Liu Ganming was also rudely scolded by Zhou Fengnian, and because Zhou Fengnian had made great contributions and had a high level, everyone in the technical department of Chengdu listened to him. Liu Ganming did not dare to retort after being scolded.

He could only hold his anger in his heart, stop helping Xue Peihua to pass on the message, close the door and go back to do his own thing.

The news that Xue Peihua came to the technical department to look for someone soon spread throughout the factory. Discussions on gossip were probably one of the few entertaining events in that era.

Especially for the old ladies with bound feet in the old city, when it comes to gossiping about family matters, it is difficult to finish once they have started.

Noon the next day.

After hearing the rumors in the factory, Zhou Yan originally wanted to question Xue Peihua directly, but she thought that if she had an argument with her colleagues in the Propaganda Department over such groundless things, she would be the one who would suffer.

So Zhou Yan arrived outside the technical department early in the afternoon.

When lunch time came, people from the technical department came out of the house with lunch boxes.

After seeing Zhou Yan outside the door, they all laughed and looked at Zhou Yan with a teasing look.

"Comrade Zhou Yan, are you here to look for Fengnian again?"

"I really envy Fengnian. You come to see him every noon."

Chen Hao reminded, "Comrade Zhou Yan, Fengnian is in the house, go in and find him directly."

Zhou Yan was moved when she heard this and asked, "Can I come in?"

"Of course, we've all gone to eat, and Fengnian is the only one in the room. But he's using Chief Luo's office now, so you can just go in."

Chen Hao said casually that he felt there was nothing wrong. Zhou Yan was Zhou Fengnian's girlfriend, so what could go wrong if he went in to look for her?

After the other people in the technical department left, Zhou Yan walked in, came to the door of the section chief's office and knocked.

"Come in."

After hearing Zhou Fengnian's voice inside the house, Zhou Yan gently opened the door, poked her head in and greeted, "Fengnian?"
