Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 246 The relationship is not that good (please subscribe)
After determining the general design plan of the new J-8 fighter, Yang Ning devoted himself to the research of the project.

In order to support the research and design work of the Aviation Research Institute's new fighter jets, the institute was not only equipped with a large integrated circuit computer, but also with a microcomputer for each research group.

This completely liberated Yang Ning's abilities, and he finally no longer had to spend part of his time every day on data calculations.

Since these computers were installed, Yang Ning only needs to optimize their research designs according to the research progress of each research group every day.

In the design of aircraft control systems, because we already have integrated circuits with higher performance, Yang Ning also made some optimizations based on the avionics control system of the "Arrow" fighter.

"Director Yang, these students are the best graduates of the current year of the Sijiucheng Aviation University. They are expected to study with us for a period of time."

On this day, when Yang Ning was explaining the avionics control system design to the members of the flight control system research group, Director Zheng from the Aviation Research Institute came over with a dozen young students.

Director Zheng, Yang Ning's partner at the Aviation Research Institute, looks to be in his forties. However, according to Yang Ning, before becoming the director of the Aviation Research Institute, Director Zheng was the logistics director of an air force base and had four silver stars on his shoulders.

This time, in order to conduct research on the main fighter jets of the Air Force in the next few decades, he was specially sent here to be responsible for communicating with the Air Force.

Looking at these passionate students, Yang Ning suddenly realized that the annual graduation season is approaching.

But what puzzled Yang Ning was that it was only May and not graduation time yet, so how come some graduates were already being assigned jobs?

"Old Zheng, it's not time to graduate yet, right?"

After hearing what Yang Ning said, Director Zheng looked at Yang Ning speechlessly and said, "You know, every industry needs talents now. If you really wait until graduation to recruit people, I'm afraid you won't get even a hair."

“Is the talent gap so big?”

Yang Ning previously worked mainly in the Data Research Institute and had never been concerned about the placement of graduates.

After all, the entire data processing institute revolved around Yang Ning alone, and he only needed to provide logistical support and confidentiality.

But now, such a large aviation research institute can no longer be managed by just a few dozen people in the data processing institute.

Not counting the various research groups, there is a huge talent gap in the factories and other departments alone.

Thinking of this, Yang Ning suddenly felt that these dozen students were too few.

"Old Zheng, you are the chief steward of our institute. You only assigned us a dozen people. Don't you think it's a little too few?"

After figuring it out, Yang Ning smiled embarrassedly, and then encouraged Director Zheng.

The meaning is very clear. It is about whether you, Mr. Zheng, are capable as the director. How come you have only been able to recruit so few people?

Director Zheng has been working with Yang Ning for almost two months. He knows that although Yang Ning is very capable, he is not at all serious about certain things, so he is not surprised.

However, the graduates who came with him had already doubted whether they had boarded the wrong ship when they saw Yang Ning's young face. Now, when they heard his nonsense, they wanted to run away.

"Is this really the head of the Aviation Research Institute? And the chief designer of our important fighter jets?"

These students all had a bad feeling in their hearts.

"Okay, calm down a bit. Don't you see that these students are scared by you?" Director Zheng glared at Yang Ning unhappily.

"These dozen graduates from the Aviation University are only assigned to your research department. After this project is over, some of them will be assigned to other places."

"Some graduates have also been assigned to other departments. We will hold a welcome party for them when we have time!"

"Okay, I'll take them. I'll have other research groups come over to pick them up later. You can arrange the welcome party. The more capable you are, the more work you should do!"

Yang Ning saw that there was no hope of getting more talents, so he started to drive them away.

The research department has so much to do, he doesn't have time to take care of these things.

"You..." Director Zheng looked at Yang Ning speechlessly, and then said helplessly to the students behind him: "You will follow Director Yang's arrangements later."

Then he said to Yang Ning: "Remember, there will be a welcome party this weekend, and you, as the director, must be there!"

"Okay, got it!"

Although Yang Ning was reluctant to attend any welcome party, as the director of the research institute, it would be inconvenient for him not to go.

…………

Just when Director Zheng took a group of students to report to the research department, an acquaintance of Yang Ning from the factory affiliated with the Aerospace Research Institute also followed the factory office director and walked into the gate of the Aerospace Research Institute with a nervous mood.

"Guangqi, you said this factory isn't that big, but I see there are quite a few armed guards around. Are we being assigned to a confidential unit?"

Liu Guangqi, the eldest son of the second uncle's family, also graduated this year. He had originally planned to apply for a job in another city as soon as he graduated.

After all, with a capable father like Second Uncle, he didn't want to stay in that house for a moment.

He thought that since he was a technical secondary school student and his grades were excellent in school, it should not be difficult to apply for support in other places.

But who could have imagined that the situation has developed so fast in recent years? When Yan Jiecheng, the eldest son of the third uncle's family, graduated from junior high school, he had to ask people for help to find a job.

Now, with the development of our industrial technology, factories and units around the old city have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Television factories, automobile factories, radio factories, etc., do not have enough graduates from all over the country, so how can they transfer local students to other places?

Therefore, Liu Guangqi's plan of "running away from home" was aborted before it was implemented. In addition, although this kid was a little cold-hearted, his academic performance was really good, so it was even more unlikely that the school would agree to his application for transfer.

In desperation, he could only settle for the next best thing and ask the school to assign him to a unit or factory where he could not go home often.

The teachers at school didn't know his specific situation and thought that he had a high level of ideological awareness, so they met his demands.

Unexpectedly, he hit the jackpot, and because of his clean background, he was assigned to the factory affiliated to the Aerospace Research Institute, a unit with a relatively high level of confidentiality.

At this moment, Liu Guangqi was not in the mood to pay attention to the chattering of his classmates next to him. When he saw this small but heavily guarded factory, he couldn't help but feel happy.

"I've come to the right place. I can finally use my father's experience of being an official when I go home more often!"

He was learning the latest CNC machine tool operation, and after being assigned to the workshop as a technician, the director of the factory office said to them before they left: "The institute will hold a welcome party for you this Sunday. The director and the director will attend. If you have nothing to do, you'd better not be absent. If you have something to do, please ask for leave in advance."

Because the Aviation Research Institute is responsible for developing our future fighter jets, all supporting facilities were well-built when the institute was first established. Graduates like Liu Guangqi were assigned a double dormitory as soon as they entered the unit.

After receiving his employment benefits and certificates, Liu Guangqi began to make his bed.

Unfortunately, perhaps in order to help them adapt to the living environment here more quickly, Liu Guangqi's roommate was his previous classmate.

After making his bed, Liu Guangqi's classmate couldn't sit still again.

"Guangqi, do you want to go out for a walk?"

"also!"

Liu Guangqi thought that they had just reported today and no one had arranged work for them, so it would be good to take a walk around and get familiar with his future work environment in advance.

So the two of them changed into work clothes, took their credentials, and started walking around the factory.

Because it was still working hours, there was no one else wandering around in the factory except the new employees who had just reported in today and the factory security personnel.

The factory's security personnel may have also received the notice and turned a blind eye to these newcomers.

Perhaps because he felt that no one was watching over them, Liu Guangqi's classmate pointed to a building behind the factory and said, "That building is so impressive. It looks like it belongs to our factory. How about we go over and take a look?"

"No, the director has just said that we can't go to that building." Liu Guangqi quickly shook his head to refuse.

"Look at you, you are so cowardly, are you afraid? We just want to take a look, if you don't want us to see, we will just leave!" Liu Guangqi's classmates looked at him disdainfully and said

"Let's go!" Liu Guangqi was really a young and brave man. After hearing what his classmates said, he agreed immediately...

"Tell me how you two recovered it. I repeatedly emphasized that you were not allowed to go there. Why did you go there?"

When the leaders of the factory affiliated to the Aviation Research Institute received the notice from the Security Department, they could not help but shout angrily at the dejected look on Liu Guangqi and his classmates who were detained in the interrogation room.

You should know that the Security Department of the Aviation Research Institute is different from that of other factories. It is guarded by active-duty military personnel with guns.

If the two men were not wearing work clothes from the subsidiary factory and their ID cards were not checked, they would probably have been shot as soon as they approached the research institute.

After all, that building not only houses many experts in the aviation field, but also a strategic talent like Yang Ning.

In order to protect the safety of these people, the security personnel here have the right to shoot.

"Director, we were wrong, we just..." Liu Guangqi regretted it so much at this point that he sat aside without saying a word, but his classmate seemed to want to quibble.

"Just what? You look like spies to me. Do you want to steal our secrets?"

When the leader of the Security Department saw that he was still trying to quibble, he slammed the table, glared at Liu Guangqi's classmate and asked.

When he said this, not only did Liu Guangqi and his classmate break out in a cold sweat, but even the director of the factory office changed his expression and hurriedly explained, "Director Zhao, their backgrounds have been investigated and there is no problem at all. Isn't it a bit too serious to say that they are spies?"

This is outrageous. If these two people are spies, then the factory director who recruited them is also responsible.

"Whether they are spies or not can only be confirmed after we investigate, but they are indeed close to the restricted area, so should they stay here for the next few days and cooperate with the investigation?"

"No problem." The factory director nodded quickly. He didn't believe that these two people were spies. After all, when they were recruiting people before, the screening was very strict. If there was any problem, he would not dare to recruit people here.

At this time, Yang Ning didn't know that one of his childhood friends had already worked in the same unit as him, but his luck was bad and he had to stay in the cell on the first day he reported to the unit.

"Now playing a notice: Our factory employees Zhou Fusheng (also Liu Guangqi's classmate) and Liu Guangqi, knowingly ignored the confidentiality regulations and attempted to enter the research institute building without special circumstances, which seriously violated the national laws and factory regulations. The factory committee held a meeting to discuss and decide."

"Zhou Fusheng, as the main person responsible, was expelled and his record was kept in his personal file. Liu Guangqi, as the secondary person responsible, was given a serious warning and will not be allowed to take the professional title assessment within three years."

"I hope everyone will take these two as a warning..."

"Now playing a notification..."

The announcement was broadcast three times in a row so that the entire institute could hear it.

"puff……"

Yang Ning was discussing problems encountered in aircraft engine research with Professor Huang in the office. After hearing the broadcast, the two stopped the discussion and initially thought there was some important news.

But when Yang Ning heard Liu Guangqi's name on the radio, he almost sprayed the tea he had just drunk onto Professor Huang's face.

"What's wrong? Do you know anyone among these two?"

Professor Huang stepped back, very curious about Yang Ning's reaction.

"That Liu Guangqi used to live in the same courtyard as me." Yang Ning did not hide anything. He picked up a towel and wiped the tea from the corner of his mouth before speaking.

"I just didn't expect that he would be assigned to the affiliated factory of our institute."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Professor Huang nodded in understanding, and then he no longer cared about it.

Whose family doesn’t have a few unpromising relatives and friends?

However, after learning that Yang Ning's childhood friend had been punished as soon as he was assigned here, Professor Huang did not stay long.

Anyway, they had almost finished discussing it. If Yang Ning wanted to help his childhood friend, it would only make Yang Ning embarrassed if he continued to stay here.

Professor Huang is actually overthinking it. Childhood friends are different from each other. If Liu Guangqi is replaced by He Yuzhu or Xu Damao, Yang Ning may still be able to help in this situation.

But forget it, Liu Guangqi.

This kid has been pampered by the second uncle since he was young and thinks highly of himself.

Before Yang Ning traveled through time, people had always looked down on the Yang, Xu and He trio. Although they had lived in the same courtyard for nearly twenty years, they did not have much friendship among them.

Besides, although the factory is under the management of the Aviation Research Institute, it also has its own leadership team, and it is not easy for Yang Ning to interfere with their internal management for Liu Guangqi.

In a word, the relationship is not that serious.
