Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 35 Something Happened at School (Please Collect and Read)

"Xiao Yang, you are really here!"

On this day, Zhang Ning was checking the renovation of the second workshop when a clerk came over in a hurry.

"Secretary Wang, what's the matter?"

Yang Ning looked at Secretary Wang, who was sweating profusely, and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Come with me quickly. Your school called and said they want to talk to you about something."

Secretary Wang took two breaths and spoke hurriedly.

"Did you say anything? I'm still busy!"

At this time, Director Liu also came over. He was dressed in dirt, with a white towel that had turned gray around his neck and a bamboo safety helmet. It was obvious that this intellectual had completely integrated into the group of workers.

"Secretary Wang, if it's not urgent, can you wait a moment? We can't do without Comrade Yang right now!"

"This~" Secretary Wang looked at the busy workshop with an embarrassed look on his face, because no one on the other side really said what they wanted to talk to Yang Ning about, they just asked him to go back to school quickly.

Seeing Secretary Wang's embarrassed look, Yang Ning knew that there must be some urgent matter in the school, otherwise he would have said it directly on the phone.

"Director Liu, I think we should ask Zhang Li from the technical department to come over and take over. There must be something urgent at the school."

"Can he do it?"

After spending the past few days with Yang Ning, Director Liu is quite impressed by Yang Ning's knowledge. No matter what topic you talk to him about, he can always explain it clearly.

Especially since Yang Ning was the pioneer of this production process, this made him admire Yang Ning even more.

But he wasn't so trusting of other people.

"Of course not. Zhang Li has been working with me for quite some time. He also participated in the transformation of the third workshop. He has mastered this production process thoroughly."

Yang Ning had a good impression of Zhang Li, and he didn't mind giving him a hand.

"Okay, I'll go find him later, you go do your thing."

Since there was someone who could replace Yang Ning, Director Liu didn't force Yang Ning to stay. He could also see that Yang Ning might have some urgent matter at school.

"Okay, I'll leave first."

After all, Yang Ning was just an intern, so after telling Director Kong, he rode his bike to Wudaokou Technical School.

"Hey! Isn't this our great master Yang? You are such a rare guest!"

When he arrived at school, Yang Ning naturally had to visit his teacher, Professor Dong first.

But when Professor Dong saw him, he started to act weird, which confused Yang Ning.

"No, which part are you singing today?"

Yang Ning looked at the naughty old professor, feeling both amused and helpless.

"How dare I put on a show in front of you, Mr. Yang?" Professor Dong said with a stern face as he took out an envelope from the drawer and threw it to him.

"Yes, this is a letter of praise from the First Ministry of Machine Building to the school, thanking you, Mr. Yang, for improving the production process of some milling machine. It also contains some rewards from them."

Yang Ning looked at Professor Dong who was still angry, confused for a moment, and did not dare to step forward to take the envelope. "No, I say, Professor Dong, even if you want to shed tears and execute Ma Su, you have to let me die with understanding."

Yang Ning was really confused by Professor Dong's tricks, so he just started.

"Hmph!" When Professor Dong saw Yang Ning like this, he knew it was almost time.

He snorted coldly, threw the envelope to Yang Ning, and pointed at him angrily: "You still remember that you are a student in school now. If it weren't for this letter from the First Ministry of Machine Building, we wouldn't know that you have done such a big thing."

"You, you, some people are very dissatisfied with you now, saying that you are disorganized but undisciplined. All the benefits of such a big event were taken by the First Ministry of Machinery and the First Machinery Factory, and our school could not get involved at all."

After hearing what Professor Dong said, Yang Ning was stunned. He asked carefully, "Old Dong, do we need to report this to the school first?"

"What do you think?" Professor Dong glanced at Yang Ning while flipping through the lecture, and said angrily, "Let's not talk about the credit for now. If every intern is as self-willed as you, it would be fine if it's a small matter, but if there is a major mistake, how much loss will it cause to the country? Do you know?"

After Professor Dong said this, Yang Ningke understood it very well. This was just like in his previous life when he went to the hospital to see a doctor and made an appointment with an intern, and the person who would treat him in the end was either an expert or a professor.

After knowing the reason why Professor Dong was angry, Yang Ning hurriedly accompanied and carefully apologized: "Old Dong, I was reckless this time. If there is anything next time, I will definitely let you check it first to prevent us young people from making mistakes."

As he spoke, Yang Ning refilled Professor Dong's empty cup with water and handed it to him like a lackey.

In fact, the school atmosphere at that time was quite good. There were very few teachers who monopolized students' achievements. The older generation of educators were really dedicated to cultivating talents.

The reason why Professor Dong was so angry today was mainly because he was afraid that Yang Ning might mess up and affect his future development.

If Yang Ning had informed the school in advance, the school would have covered him if anything went wrong.

Seeing that Yang Ning was sincere in admitting his mistake, Professor Dong picked up the teacup and took a sip. He looked at him seriously and said, "Don't be so reckless next time."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Yang Ning assured repeatedly, but his next sentence made Professor Dong embarrassed.

"Well, no one told me about this before. Who knew I had to report it to the school in advance?"

Professor Dong paused what he was doing. He looked at Yang Ning in surprise and asked, "Didn't your class teacher tell you about this?"

Then he thought that Yang Ning seemed to be just a junior this year, and their internship should be next year, so the problem should be with Yang Ning’s responsible teacher. Then Yang Ning’s responsible teacher...

"After all this trouble, this matter is still blamed on me. Then hasn't my anger these past few days been in vain?"

But who is Professor Dong? After realizing that the problem lies with him, Professor Dong glared at Yang Ning fiercely: "Why don't you ask about this?"

"Blame me, blame me?" What else could Yang Ning do? He couldn't let the boss get mad at him to death, right?

Sure enough, after hearing Yang Ning’s words, Professor Dong nodded with satisfaction, saying, “This boy is teachable!”
"Shouldn't the school call me back for such a small matter?"

Yang Ning thought that school shouldn't be so boring. Was he called back just to give himself a scolding?

"Who has the spare time?"

After Professor Dong calmed down a bit, he said, "The first reason I called you back this time was for this matter."

"The second is the blueprint you submitted during the summer vacation. They decided to adopt the diesel engine part. As for the rest, they put it on hold for the time being because steel is scarce and iron drill bits are prone to breakage."

"As for the last thing, this is the main reason for calling you back."

Professor Dong looked serious as he looked at Yang Ning, "Are you really ready?"
