Siheyuan, don't mess with me

"came back!"

"I'm back!" Chen Zhiguo sat next to Ma Huihui. He felt more comfortable here, in a private room for two, with no strangers to disturb him!

"Don't make trouble, I have finished reading the book!" Ma Huihui glanced at Chen Zhiguo, slapped his big hand away, and moved to the side!

Chen Zhiguo chuckled, turned over and continued to lie on the bed, "Didn't you bring your book?" Ma Huihui turned her head and took a look.

"Why bring books?"

"Study!"

"It's rare to have free time these few days, why don't you take a rest! Once we get there, we will definitely be busy!"

"how do you know?"

"If there's nothing going on over there, who would transfer me over here? They must be too busy to handle it, so they need more manpower!"

"That's right!" Ma Huihui nodded.

Just like that, as the two chatted intermittently and the train swayed rhythmically, Chen Zhiguo fell asleep again. When he woke up, he found that Ma Huihui was sleeping soundly on his chest!

In this way, Chen Zhiguo and Ma Huihui stayed on the train for three days and three nights, until Wang Baojia came to inform them to pack their luggage and get off at the next stop! Chen Zhiguo and Ma Huihui said goodbye to this warm and sweet train compartment with regret!

The next journey was much slower and more difficult! First, they took a boat upstream, and then took a long-distance bus through the mountains. The continuous long-distance travel and the bumpy mountain roads! Ma Huihui's body obviously couldn't bear it, and she had a very obvious motion sickness reaction. Fortunately, Chen Zhiguo reacted quickly and found something wrong. He secretly used the space spring water to regulate Ma Huihui's body, which allowed Ma Huihui to persevere to the end!

In a small town, Chen Zhiguo and his group got off the bus, ending this shaky journey! Almost everyone's face was pale and they had different degrees of motion sickness! Only Chen Zhiguo and Ma Huihui were the exceptions. They were still energetic. Wang Baojia exclaimed that it was still good to be young!

After resting in the town for a day and recovering their physical and mental strength, the group got on the jeep that came to pick them up. The other six people who came with Chen Zhiguo did not go to the same place as Chen Zhiguo. Three jeeps, carrying people from different units, set off for the mountains together, and then parted ways in the mountains!

The old jeep was driving slowly along the winding mountain road. When the car drove over from the back of the mountain and headed towards the bottom of the slope below the halfway point, a large valley surrounded by mountains suddenly appeared in front of him. Chen Zhiguo, who was sitting in the car, looked down through the window.

In the middle of a wide and flat valley, there stood more than a dozen four-story buildings, neatly arranged, like a small residential community. In the center of the entire building complex was a large circular square, which divided the entire building complex into four equal parts! In the square, you could clearly see a group of innocent children playing and having fun!

In addition to these buildings, there are more rows of bungalows built along the mountain. They start from the foot of the mountain and extend upward layer by layer, forming a group of neatly arranged buildings. In front of each row of bungalows, there are small vegetable gardens, full of greenery and vitality.

The entire building complex is tightly surrounded by a high wall, which shows the importance and confidentiality of this place!

Chapter 326: A factory deep in the mountains!

The jeep went down to the bottom of the valley and stopped at the gate. Chen Zhiguo and Ma Huihui jumped off the jeep and unloaded their luggage. Wang Baojia went to the security guard to contact them, and Chen Zhiguo and Ma Huihui began to observe the surrounding environment!

As far as the eye can see, a mountain range towers into the clouds, stretching endlessly, and all you can see are green mountains! Among these mountains, the valley where he is located is flat and open, like a paradise isolated from the world! At this moment, Chen Zhiguo is standing in this valley, looking into the distance!

I saw that the surrounding mountains formed a natural barrier, isolating this valley from the outside world!

Facing Chen Zhiguo, there was a huge iron gate with several soldiers holding guns standing at the gate. Wang Baojia had already made a phone call and walked slowly towards Chen Zhiguo. Chen Zhiguo took out a cigarette and lit it for him. "Brother Wang, do you work here?"

"No, I am responsible for connecting with these units. I will only make a trip when special talents or special materials are needed. Normally, I stay in Yanjing! I will complete my mission after sending you here, and I will go back soon!"

"Brother Wang, can I trouble you for something?" Upon hearing that Wang Baojia was going back, Chen Zhiguo hurriedly asked,

"What's the matter? Tell me!" During the past few days on the train, Wang Baojia had been drinking and eating meat with Chen Zhiguo! So, if Chen Zhiguo had something to do, Wang Baojia still wanted to help him if he could. He couldn't just drink his wine and not get anything in return!

"I just want you to send a message to my family when you go back, saying that I arrived safely and that the conditions here are very good, so that they don't have to worry about me!"

"Okay, I can do it!" Wang Baojia knew it could be done without revealing any other information, so he quickly agreed. Chen Zhiguo wrote down the contact information of Zhang's family and Chen Dayong's steel rolling mill and gave it to Wang Baojia. After Wang Baojia read it carefully, he put it away. This note would not be given to Chen Zhiguo's family, even if the note only had Chen Zhiguo's contact address!

"Ma Huihui, what's your address?"

"No need, Brother Wang, my family will know!" Ma Huihui's words surprised Wang Baojia. When he thought that Ma Huihui was the name suddenly added at the end, Wang Baojia didn't ask any more questions!

Soon, two people came out from the courtyard wall, walking towards them at a brisk pace from a distance, "Director Wang, hello!"

"Hello!" Wang Baojia also waved to them!

"Zhiguo, let me introduce you. This is Director Li Jianshe of the 817 Factory, and this is Director Hu Weijun, the Office Director!"

"This is Comrade Chen Zhiguo, and this is Comrade Ma Huihui!"

"Hello, Director Li!" "Hello, Director Hu!" Chen Zhiguo stepped forward and shook hands with them warmly. Ma Huihui followed behind him and nodded to them!

"We have been looking forward to your coming. We will continue to provide you with technical support!" Seeing how young Chen Zhiguo and Ma Huihui were, Director Li and Director Hu's faces changed at the same time, but they quickly adjusted themselves. Director Li greeted Chen Zhiguo warmly!

"I will do my best!" Chen Zhiguo replied calmly. Although their expressions changed in an instant, Chen Zhiguo captured it keenly. Chen Zhiguo did not care about their contempt for him, which was normal. Moreover, Chen Zhiguo had already made up his mind to make a splash here!

"Lao Li, Lao Hu, I'm going back now that I've sent the people there!" Wang Baojia was anxious to go back, and despite Li Jianshe and Hu Weijun's repeated requests to stay, he jumped on the jeep and left! He also had to meet another comrade and rush to the small town they came from. If they couldn't catch the bus tomorrow, they would have to stay in the small town for a week. Knowing the inside story, Li Jianshe could only let Wang Baojia go with regret!

"Come on, Comrade Chen Zhiguo, Comrade Ma Huihui, let's go to the factory first to discuss your work arrangements!" Li Jianshe and Hu Weijun stepped forward to help carry two large bags, and called Chen Zhiguo and Ma Huihui to go inside!

As they walked, Li Jianshe explained the buildings in the courtyard, "This is our entire office and living area, and the entire production plant is there!" Li Jianshe pointed to a big mountain at the end of a cement road!

"We have relocated here as a whole. This is our family quarters. These three buildings are all here. The building over here is the office area. The supply and marketing cooperative, school, gymnasium, and cinema are all in this area. Even though we are in the mountains, we have all the necessary daily necessities!" Li Jianshe briefly introduced the entire building area.

After walking for more than ten minutes, they came to a building near the big square. "This is our office building. Let's go upstairs!"

Li Jianshe placed Chen Zhiguo and Ma Huihui's luggage in the security room on the first floor, and took Chen Zhiguo and others to the second floor!

In an office on the easternmost side of the second floor, several people sat down. Hu Weijun poured hot tea for Chen Zhiguo and the others. Li Jianshe also took out a cigarette and handed it to Chen Zhiguo. After a while of puffing, Li Jianshe opened the topic, "Comrade Chen Zhiguo, what our 817 factory urgently needs now is maintenance personnel who are very familiar with machine tools and equipment. I was a soldier and have a straightforward personality. Excuse me for being frank, but I don't know why the higher authorities sent you here! Although I have also read your file, a college student, the deputy director of the technical department, but there is still a difference between steelmaking and machine tool maintenance! I don't know if you can be qualified for this new position!"

Chen Zhiguo couldn't say that he was sent here by someone using a shady trick, but he liked the outspoken Li Jianshe. He smiled and said, "Ma Huihui and I studied mechanics in college. During our work in the steel rolling mill, we also learned a lot about machine tools. Although I don't know what kind of machine tools and equipment are used in the factory, as long as the principles are the same, they can all be used in essence! I am still very confident in maintenance!"

Ever since Chen Zhiguo set foot on this land, he had no intention of keeping a low profile and he had to improve his status!

"Oh! That's great!" Although Li Jianshe was still a little skeptical, he really lacked talent who understood machine tools. The report had been submitted for a long time, and now that his superiors had sent people over, he could only choose to believe it. He would know whether it was a mule or a horse by taking it out for a walk!

"What's the matter, Director Li, is he in a hurry now?" Chen Zhiguo asked back!

"Yes! The superior department allocated us a most advanced machine tool for processing precision workpieces. The equipment was installed and debugged very well. The processed workpieces are very fine and the errors are negligible! But after the installation personnel left, our technicians made frequent mistakes during use. Later, it simply stopped working!

Our superiors gave us such good equipment so that we can produce better and more precise parts. Now that the machine tools cannot be used, we can only gather senior workers from the whole factory to produce. However, although the parts produced are qualified in terms of data, the error positions of the parts produced by each senior worker are different. In this way, the assembled machines and equipment cannot be used normally! Therefore, all the parts we produced were returned. You also know what kind of factory our 817 factory is, so I am anxious! We urgently need debugging and maintenance personnel for machine tools!"

Chen Zhiguo couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why don't you contact the manufacturer and ask them to come over to repair it?"

Li Jianshe said in embarrassment, "We have contacted them, why haven't we contacted them! But there are only two such machine tools produced, and we are in urgent need of them, so they gave us the first one. When I finished installing it, they went to the northwest. There are not as many technicians there as here, and all the staff are stuck there and can't get out! The manufacturer is also anxious. They have the drawings and can produce the equipment, but those who can use the equipment have all gone. Now they can produce it, but the debugging is still slowly exploring. I can't wait!"

Chen Zhiguo looked at his watch. It was only ten o'clock. "Director Li, why don't we go and see what kind of machine tool it is?"

"Comrade Chen Zhiguo, don't you need to take a rest?"

"It's okay, let's go take a look first. The sooner the problem is solved, the sooner production can start!" Chen Zhiguo didn't believe that there was any new machine tool that he didn't know about.

"Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Chen Zhiguo!" Although Li Jianshe doubted Chen Zhiguo's technical level, he admired Chen Zhiguo's spirit. He slapped his thigh and said, "Let's go. Let's go to the factory now!"

"Huihui, why don't you rest here?" Chen Zhiguo glanced at Ma Huihui.

"No, I'll follow you and help you take notes!"

Chen Zhiguo nodded, followed Li Jianshe downstairs and got into his jeep!

The jeep sped along a straight cement road and soon arrived at the entrance of a huge cave! Looking at the heavy cement door, Chen Zhiguo was shocked. This was obviously an explosion-proof door to prevent bombing!

But what really shocked him was what was inside. Although Li Jianshe was the factory director, the soldiers at the door still meticulously checked the IDs of several people. Fortunately, Chen Zhiguo and Ma Huihui's IDs were in Chen Zhiguo's space and could be taken out at will!

After really walking into the cave, Chen Zhiguo understood what it meant that man can conquer nature! He truly realized that in this era, the power of the people is infinite! A towering mountain, the belly of which was hollowed out, became a huge production plant. In this era without advanced excavation machinery, such a large amount of work was completed by manual labor. Chen Zhiguo was really shocked. This is the power of the people. The power of the people is great!

Such a large mountain was hollowed out, and such a huge amount of engineering work was completed in the solid rock. Even in later generations, with advanced engineering machinery, it was not easy to complete the task, but it was done with simple and primitive tools like a hammer and a chisel. This is the most admirable thing about this generation. They have no high education, no high salary, and only eat steamed bread with pickles, but they use their extremely strong willpower to complete one feat after another that will amaze future generations!

Chapter 327 Bet!

Li Jianshe led Chen Zhiguo to walk inside. On both sides of the road were rows of neatly arranged machine tools. The workers were working seriously and attentively. Observing along the way, Chen Zhiguo did not see any lazy workers. Even the workers pushing the carts to transport materials were walking briskly, pushing the four small wheels to fly! Here, Chen Zhiguo saw a more rigorous and more motivated work attitude than that of the steel mill! Here, Chen Zhiguo understood what it meant to race against time!

Deep in the factory, there is an empty area with a machine tool standing alone. The machine tool is very large, more than twice as large as an ordinary machine tool, which indirectly shows the super processing capacity of this machine tool! There is also a large group of people around the machine tool! They are arguing loudly about something! The dancing sounds a bit like the noise of buying vegetables in a vegetable market!

Li Jianshe pointed and said, "Comrade Chen Zhiguo, the machine tool that needs repair is over there! You go and take a look first, I'll go to the workshop over there!" Chen Zhiguo nodded and walked quickly towards the machine tool!

As they got closer, Chen Zhiguo's mouth curled up slightly, and an irrepressible joy burst out in his heart! Just like a naughty child seeing his favorite toy, he was delighted, loved it, and couldn't let it go! It was also like a father seeing his child after a long absence, the kind of excitement that could not be expressed in words!

Chen Zhiguo slowly walked around the machine tool and lightly touched it with his fingertips. The cool touch made Chen Zhiguo's heart leap with joy!

"Who are you? What are you doing? Who told you to touch me?"

In the crowd, a middle-aged man with a red face and thick neck who had been arguing with someone saw Chen Zhiguo who was walking around the machine tool, and immediately directed his unvented anger at Chen Zhiguo!

Chen Zhiguo looked at him sideways with disdain! Just from the few words he heard, Chen Zhiguo knew that this man was a fool, uneducated and unskilled! Arguing with others was all nonsense. When others talked about theory and technology, he would always say "You don't understand!" "This is what the manufacturer taught!" "How can such a sophisticated machine tool not break down!" "What do you know? If you don't understand, don't say it!" He used these words to deal with them, and none of his words hit the point!

"I'm talking to you! Where are you from? Who asked you to come here? Don't you know that this is a precision instrument and you can't touch it? Can you afford to pay for it if it breaks?" Seeing that Chen Zhiguo ignored him, he became even more furious, pointing at Chen Zhiguo and starting to accuse him!

"Ah! It will break if you touch it? It turns out this is a paper sample! Oh my god! It turns out it's a fake! I dare not touch it! I dare not touch it!" Chen Zhiguo pretended to be frightened and hid to the side. His terrified look made the crowd burst into laughter!

"Who are you? Who asked you to come here? You are unorganized and undisciplined. Don't you know that this is a CNC processing workshop?" The man shouted again. Chen Zhiguo's antics made him even angrier. His huge rosacea nose became even redder because of anger. He pointed at the young man in front of him who despised him with trembling fingers!

"I can come in because I can come in, what's it to you?" Chen Zhiguo was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. This kind of person is like a toad you meet on the road, just kick him away and that's it!

"You! You! Even if you come in, you are not allowed to stay here! You little brat, your parents didn't bring you here to make trouble, go play with your mud, get out of here!" Obviously, the man also understood that Chen Zhiguo could not enter this heavily guarded production workshop without passing the inspection at the gate. However, even if Chen Zhiguo could come in, he still had the final say here. He was the director here, so he could scold Chen Zhiguo unscrupulously!

"How do you talk like that? You have no manners at all. Did you grow up eating rice and communism? Your head is full of rice and communism!" Chen Zhiguo didn't have a chance to say anything before Ma Huihui beside him stopped him. If he was scolding her, in an unfamiliar place, Ma Huihui might have endured it, but scolding Chen Zhiguo, that would absolutely not be allowed. Her beloved little man was not meant to be bullied by him!

"You little yellow-haired girl, you have sharp teeth and no manners at all. What did your parents teach you?"

“This is how I should deal with an uneducated person like you!” Ma Huihui was not afraid at all and directly blocked him back!

"You!..." The middle-aged man was on the verge of exploding. He was angry and clenched his fists to step forward, but was held back by the people next to him. It didn't matter if he cursed someone, but hitting someone was against discipline. The middle-aged man was angry and impulsive, but there were still sober people in the crowd next to him!

"What's wrong? What are you arguing about?" Li Jianshe seemed to have seen many people arguing together like this, and he didn't seem to care! He pushed through the crowd and walked in. When he saw the factory director coming, the scene suddenly became quiet.

"Director, two kids who came from nowhere are here to make trouble!" When the middle-aged man who was furious just now saw Li Jianshe coming in, he seemed to lose his temper all of a sudden. The expression on his face changed in an instant. The speed was comparable to the face-changing in Sichuan Opera. He had a smile on his face, as if it was not him who was about to swing the fist just now!

Li Jianshe didn't care about the chaos at the scene, but that didn't mean he could tolerate the accusations from the middle-aged man. He shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? If you don't know, don't talk nonsense!" The middle-aged man looked embarrassed. Li Jianshe didn't continue to pay attention to him. Instead, he pointed at Chen Zhiguo and started talking to everyone, "Since everyone is here, let me introduce to you. This is Comrade Chen Zhiguo and Comrade Ma Huihui who came from Yanjing to support us. Welcome everyone!" Following Li Jianshe's introduction, applause broke out at the scene.

"Chen Zhiguo, Ma Huihui, this is Comrade Huang Zhiyong, the director of the CNC machine tool workshop!" Li Jianshe pointed at the middle-aged man and introduced him, then continued, "Director Huang, what is the problem with this CNC machine tool? Please tell the two comrades!"

"Director, these two young men, how old are they? They haven't even finished school, what do they know about CNC machine tools! The factory is out of people, so they sent them here to make up the numbers!" Huang Zhiyong was obviously still angry about what happened just now, and in his heart he didn't believe that Chen Zhiguo and his team could repair CNC machine tools! So he laughed loudly,

Li Jianshe showed dissatisfaction, "Director Huang, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! The superiors will not send people here randomly!" In fact, in Li Jianshe's heart, he had no confidence at all whether Chen Zhiguo could understand CNC machine tools. After all, this was the first generation of CNC machine tools that had just been developed, and it was the most advanced machine tool equipment in the country!

Seeing Huang Zhiyong's sneer, Chen Zhiguo responded calmly, "Being young doesn't mean you don't understand, and being old doesn't mean you know everything. According to Director Huang, if we hire an old man in his seventies or eighties, he will be able to understand CNC machine tools! I see that you are not young anymore, tell me about your understanding of CNC machine tools first!"

"I! I! What do I have to say to you?" Huang Zhiyong was a little speechless after hearing Chen Zhiguo's words.

"You still have to say it. I just heard Director Li introduce you as the director of CNC machine tools. If you don't tell me about the malfunction of this CNC machine tool, who else should tell me?" How could Chen Zhiguo let him go? This time, he was the first to blame!

"Why, you can't tell me? You don't even know why it broke down. How can you be the director?" Chen Zhiguo continued to ask.

"I don't care how I became the director, but you want to repair this CNC machine tool? This is the most advanced machine tool in our country. What if you break it?"

"I'll pay for it!" Chen Zhiguo said lightly.

"Can you afford the compensation? You are still a brat and you are just talking nonsense! If you can fix the machine tool, I will stand on my head and eat rice in the field!" Huang Zhiyong said sarcastically.

"If it's another machine tool, I might have to study it, but I can get this CNC machine tool done in minutes! Is your promise valid? Do you keep your word?"

"What if you can't fix it?" Huang Zhiyong also turned the tables.

Chen Zhiguo smiled disdainfully, "How about this, you tell me the conditions!"
