The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 173 Return
Liu Hua said with great joy: "That's because he doesn't understand your desire to improve. He's been waiting for you for a long time."

Li Huaide waved his hand: "I was just too crazy. Nowadays, the department basically has one position for each person. There is no shortage of people at the top, so how can they promote people from below? If I want to join the department, I have to wait until there is a vacancy there."

Liu Hua comforted him: "You are still young, don't worry."

"I'm already over 40, aren't you in a hurry?" Li Huaide smiled and said, "I feel like you might be able to join the department faster than I was. For technicians like you, there's no such thing as one person for one job. The more of you, the better."

"But I just don't want to go. Are you angry?"

Li Huaide waved his hand: "Let's stop talking. Go do what you need to do. It's the first day of work in the new year, and you come here to irritate me."

Although he said he was angry, Li Huaide was still concerned about him. He called Liu Hua every three days to ask when he could finish the class, as the technical department of the steel rolling mill was waiting for him to return to take charge of the work.

Director Ding of Shougang told Liu Hua and Li Huaide more than once that they were too stingy and had a narrow vision, and would not achieve great things in the future.

After the Chinese New Year, it took nearly two months to finally explain all the knowledge points thoroughly. After four rounds of examinations, Liu Hua believed that this group of engineers had completed their training. With them, the construction of Shougang's new phase of projects was quite certain.

So Liu Hua took the opportunity to propose to resign from the position of chief engineer and return to the steel rolling mill to continue working. However, Director Ding refused to agree and for three days in a row he asked someone to do ideological work on Liu Hua.

Unfortunately, Liu Hua was determined to do it, and his superiors fully respected his opinion. In addition, many people thought that Liu Hua was too young. Letting such a young man lead such a large project, although they thought there would be no technical problems, the construction of the new phase was not just a technical issue, there were many miscellaneous things to deal with.

So the leader agreed with Liu Hua's opinion and asked him to resign from the position of chief engineer, but gave him the title of general consultant, who would check once a week to help this group of engineers fix any omissions.

The day before Liu Hua left, Director Ding specially asked someone to find the chef of the Capital Hotel to cook for him in his own factory and entertain him well.

It would have been easy for Director Ding, at that level, to book a private room at the Capital Hotel. However, there were too many people attending the farewell banquet, and the Capital Hotel could not have so many private rooms available for Shougang to use. So they had to settle for the next best thing and use Shougang's small auditorium.

The next day when Liu Hua went to work, the people at the security department at the door were surprised to see him.

"Mr. Liu, are you here to work?"

Liu Hua nodded: "Yes. If I'm not working, am I just here to hang out?"

"You haven't worked in the factory for nearly half a year?"

Liu Hua laughed: "I was seconded by Shougang, not transferred directly. If I leave, our Director Li will be sad."

"That's right. If Ding dares to transfer you, I won't care about discipline. I will just barge into his office and have a fight with him."

Li Huaide also arrived at the factory gate at this time. He came very early today and had been waiting for Liu Hua near the gate. When he saw Liu Hua greeting the guard, he came straight over and just heard what Liu Hua said.

"Hua Zi, you've come just in time." Li Huaide said with a smile, "Come to my office for a cup of tea, and let's talk about the next work. I'm looking forward to it. If you don't come back, I will take the security department of my factory to Shougang to snatch people."

Li Huaide hurriedly pulled Liu Hua into his office and personally made tea for him. After Liu Hua had moistened his throat, Li Huaide smiled and said, "The second converter in our factory has been almost renovated. By then, there will definitely be enough steel. I'm just worried that the rolling mill will lag behind."

"Don't worry." Liu Hua clapped his hands and smiled. "Now that I'm back, I will never allow such a thing to happen. The new rolling mill will be in place in half a year."

"Do you have a draft in mind?"

Liu Hua nodded: "Although I have been giving lectures for the past six months, I am not just giving lectures to them. I also exchange experiences with them about steel rolling mills and do preliminary research at the same time."

Li Huaide excitedly slammed the table and said, "Okay, I knew you would never let me down. As long as you have a plan, I will have a backbone. If you want something, just ask. Now I have a backer."

Liu Hua asked blankly: "What background?"

"The First Ministry of Machine Building," Li Huaide said proudly. "We have done such a big thing quietly. The leaders of the First Ministry of Machine Building have said that we must report any new plans of our factory to them. They will provide funding and technical support as appropriate."

"Oh, so it's because you are bold and daring."

Li Huaide nodded: "How about this, you take a rest for two days to adapt, and then slowly start working. Let's take it step by step. After all, not every leader likes to take risks like me."

"The situation is different." Liu Hua said jokingly, "The leaders are at a height where they cannot afford to take too many risks. It doesn't matter to you. Even if it fails, it's just a steel mill, an insignificant steel mill in Beijing."

"I don't like to hear that. What do you mean by insignificant? Our steel mill has made so many achievements, which is truly remarkable."

Liu Hua smiled and nodded: "Yeah, yes, yes, you are right."

"Why does it feel like coaxing a child?"

Since Li Huaide asked him to have a good rest and adapt for two days, why should he be polite? Isn't this a legitimate opportunity to slack off?

Liu Hua strolled around the factory casually, visiting this workshop, chatting in that office, talking casually, and by the way, learning about the latest developments and gossips of the steel rolling mill.

This is a conservative era, but it is also at the tail end of the transition between the old era and the new era. The collision between the old and new trends often causes many ridiculous things. The bizarreness of some things is jaw-dropping. Liu Hua was feasting his ears for the ears. Many gossip events are beyond the imagination of online articles.

What the steel rolling mill talked about most was undoubtedly Li Huaide's romantic affairs. This guy is now very proud of himself and has an unclear relationship with Liu Lan in the kitchen. In addition, there are more or less beautiful widows in each workshop, and it is said that none of them can escape Li Huaide's clutches.

At noon, Li Huaide invited Liu Hua to have a special meal. Liu Hua looked at Li Huaide with a smile and said, "You are very famous now. There are all kinds of scandals about you."

Li Huaide said nervously: "Don't believe these rumors."

Liu Hua laughed and scolded: "Why are you so nervous? I can't control you. Just be careful and don't let the people who are in charge of you know."
