Siheyuan, don't mess with me

"No one cared before, but now someone is in charge. The big sister is here, how dare I disobey?"

Hu Weijun looked at Jiang Yuehua who was laughing and joking with Ma Huihui, "She?"

"Yes! She has been taking care of me for three years in college. Do you think I dare not to obey her?"

Hu Weijun nodded. It was good to have someone to control Chen Zhiguo. Maybe he could use her to deal with Chen Zhiguo in the future. Just when Hu Weijun was thinking happily, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with what Chen Zhiguo said. "It's wrong? Why is it three years? Isn't it four years? You haven't graduated from college yet?"

"You haven't graduated yet! Can't I graduate early in my junior year?" Chen Zhiguo's words almost made Hu Weijun autistic. The world of geniuses is really hard for a layman like him to understand! Hu Weijun knew that he skipped a grade in elementary school, and he could understand junior high school, but graduating from college early once again refreshed Hu Weijun's understanding of Chen Zhiguo!

"Alright! Today is Sunday, have lunch here and have a good Sunday. If there is anything, we can deal with it tomorrow! You are such a big leader, can't you be more calm when doing things!"

Hu Weijun smiled bitterly, "Do you think I don't want to? Do you know how many calls I've received in the past few days asking for cars? I contacted a few factories before, and they said they were fine. They just wanted a few broken cars, so they could take them! But now they've all changed their minds. They want cars, but they want me to modify them for free. These people are so crazy that they want me to modify a car for free at the price of a scrapped car!"

"Since they want to control us, they want good things! Why don't they just give up those broken cars!" Chen Zhiguo said lightly!

"But without these scrapped cars, can't I just use a usable car to modify it?"

"You're such a pig-head. What parts can we use from scrapped cars? It's just a frame. What else can we use? I don't believe you can't produce such a frame. Besides, we can't always modify old frames. We need new frames so that we can produce the entire model! Why do we need scrapped cars?"

In fact, Chen Zhiguo was a bit wronged about Hu Weijun. He is not a professional and has only a vague understanding of production. Unlike Li Jianshe, who had been on the production line and knew production like the back of his hand, Hu Weijun had been doing logistics support work. It was only after he became the factory director that he made up for it for a period of time!

"Zhiguo, why don't you be the factory director?" Hu Weijun's sudden words scared Chen Zhiguo!

"I won't do it. Being a factory manager is so tiring!"

"But you see, our current factory leadership team really doesn't have any professional talent and really doesn't understand production!"

"You are so stupid. You don't understand that you don't have a technical department under you! When a task is issued and completed, it is because you directed it properly. If it is not completed well, it is because the technical department is not attentive. You should replace the person who needs to be replaced and find someone who works attentively!"

"But you are the chief engineer of the factory, you can't just ignore everything, right?"

"I really admire you. There are so many people in the factory. You can't just pick on me to take advantage of me! What are you doing with those people? Just eating idle meals! It's very simple. They can survey and map the frames. What's so difficult about that? If you can't even do such simple work, how dare you work in an office?"

When Chen Zhiguo first came, Zhou Haishan from the Technical Department was indifferent to Chen Zhiguo and even left Chen Zhiguo on the bench, serving as a deputy director of the Technical Department without even a department to be in charge of. If Chen Zhiguo had not been the director of a CNC workshop, Chen Zhiguo would have nothing to do!

After Chen Zhiguo designed the new firecracker engine, Zhou Haishan was transferred away in disgrace. However, the technical department has been in a state of dispute. Everyone wants to be the director, and no one is willing to obey anyone else. Li Jianshe once wanted Chen Zhiguo to manage it, but was rejected by Chen Zhiguo. He did not have the time. Now Hu Weijun is the factory director and Chen Zhiguo is the chief engineer. If he does not want to be so tired, he must let the technical department play its due role!

Chapter 405 Take charge of the Technical Department!

Hu Weijun certainly understood what Chen Zhiguo meant. He smiled bitterly and said, "You think I don't want to manage it, but I'm a technical idiot. I was confused by them without saying anything. How dare I manage it? If an amateur leads the experts, how can they laugh at me in private if I can't bear it?"

Chen Zhiguo pondered for a moment. These people in the Technical Department were indeed difficult to manage. Zhou Haishan had been transferred away, but whether it was Deputy Director Su Wenqiang, or several section chiefs, Wu Jiandong, Guo Dacheng, Lu Junqiang, or even Office Director Ding Baoguo, they were either Zhou Haishan's direct subordinates or were uneducated and had been promoted by accumulating seniority, like Deputy Director Su Wenqiang. Otherwise, after Zhou Haishan had been transferred away, Li Jianshe would have promoted him, but his level was too poor!

However, under the existing system, it is impossible to remove these people from their positions if they have not made any mistakes. If we want to reorganize the technical department, we must put them into action. Only when they are working can we see their true situation clearly and have reasons to decide whether to stay or go!

"You don't need to explain any technology to them. Since you don't understand, you just need to know the results. Anyway, the products need to be tested. You can't fool people!"

"How to do it exactly?"

"The capable ones will be promoted, and the mediocre ones will be demoted. This time, I will give the Technical Department a task to design a new frame. I have designed the other parts, but I borrowed the design of the GAZ car to save trouble. Now let's see their abilities. Whoever has the best design will be the director of the Technical Department. Do you think this will work?"

"But what if they resist? We are not a company that specializes in producing cars. Isn't that too much to ask?" Hu Weijun said worriedly.

"I am a steelmaker. Didn't I design the engine? Besides, our factory produces armored beasts. If they can't even make something as simple as a frame, what's the point of having them? And if you can't even direct it, how will we do future production? Can I, a chief engineer without a job, do the work alone?"

"Okay! Let's arrange for them tomorrow!"

. . . . . . . .

In the afternoon, after a nap, the family lined up under the eaves, drinking tea and chatting.

"What did you say to Lao Hu? He seems to be full of energy." Ma Huihui poured a cup of tea for Chen Zhiguo.

"He is an outsider and can't lead the technical department, so I gave him a suggestion. Let's see how it works."

"Indeed! Those people are quite arrogant," Ma Huihui recalled the situation when she followed Chen Zhiguo to report. No one really paid attention to her. Even when Chen Zhiguo asked to move a table, the office director Ding Baoguo had to ask Zhou Haishan for permission! Others ignored Chen Zhiguo and her. Later, Chen Zhiguo and her simply went to the CNC workshop and did not go to the office of the technical department! Ma Huihui was furious when she thought about it!

"Do you want to take care of them?" Chen Zhiguo asked jokingly.

"I'm not going. I don't want to be tired now. If you want to go, let my elder sister go!" Ma Huihui stroked her belly happily.

"What do you want me to do?" Jiang Yuehua immediately changed the subject after hearing Ma Huihui talking about herself.

"Sister, you don't know, but those people look down on us so much!" Ma Huihui recounted what happened at that time!

"It's so abominable! But I can't control them even if I go, I'm only at the deputy section level." When Jiang Yuehua and her colleagues first joined the design institute, they were treated as deputy section level, but the technical department of 817 is at the department level.

"Don't you know that you have been promoted to a higher level?" Chen Zhiguo said with a smile. Before setting off this time, Chen Zhiguo asked his teacher for help to raise Jiang Yuehua's level by one level, which could be regarded as compensation for Jiang Yuehua's external technical support!

"That's not enough?" Jiang Yuehua said helplessly.

"Can't I take over temporarily? Can't I wait two years and then I can get promoted?" Chen Zhiguo said easily.

"Then what about Lao Su? He's the deputy director?" Ma Huihui continued. She knew something about the technical department, at least she knew several leaders!

"If he has no knowledge or skills, what position can he occupy, especially such an important position in the Technical Department? Let Lao Hu talk to him about the horizontal transfer. I believe he will agree immediately! I guess he has long wanted to stop working in the Technical Department. Now it is like a volcano!"

"Why?" Jiang Yuehua asked.

"Several section chiefs are eyeing the position of director and fighting for it. Even if they can't win the position of director, it won't be easy to push Lao Su down. I guess Lao Su has been exhausted for a long time!"

Chen Zhiguo looked at Jiang Yuehua, "How about it, do you have the confidence to go?"

"As long as you are here, there is nothing I can be afraid of! Can you just watch me get bullied?" Jiang Yuehua said with a smile!

"That's true. Whoever dares to bully you will be chopped to pieces!" Chen Zhiguo pretended to be fierce and deliberately waved his hand to make a knife-wielding gesture!

Chen Zhiguo did not simply want to vent his anger for being treated coldly in the past, but now he is the chief engineer, but the technical department is not putting in enough effort and always finds various reasons to shirk the work assigned by Chen Zhiguo, making Chen Zhiguo a commander without troops. In order to make his future work less stressful, he must keep the technical department in his hands. The appearance of Jiang Yuehua just gave Chen Zhiguo someone he could use!

Ma Huihui is not pregnant. Her personality is OK, but her skills are a little poor! Jiang Yuechen is OK in skills, but her temper is a little soft. She can look after the CNC machine tool workshop, but if she wants to suppress the old-timers in the technical department, she must have a personality like Jiang Yuehua! If it weren't for this trip back and bringing Jiang Yuehua back, Chen Zhiguo planned to disrupt the technical department and use all the technicians in the workshop!

. . . . . . . . . . . .

A week later, the Technical Department held a meeting. Hu Weijun, Chen Zhiguo, Wang Jiefang, and Jiang Yuehua all attended the meeting.

In the meeting room of the Technical Department, Chen Zhiguo recalled that when he first reported, it was still these people in front of him! Su Wenqiang did not attend the meeting. After Hu Weijun talked to him, he immediately nodded and agreed to be transferred to the logistics department as an idle deputy director. He was ready to retire after a few years! ,

Wu Jiandong, Guo Dacheng, Lu Junqiang, and Ding Baoguo were all sitting in the first row below!

"I am now announcing several appointments for factory leaders. Comrade Jiang Yuehua is now appointed to temporarily serve as deputy director of the Technical Department and to be in charge of daily work! Comrade Wu Jiandong is transferred to serve as deputy technical director of Workshop 1, Comrade Guo Dacheng is transferred to serve as deputy technical director of Workshop 2, Comrade Lv Junqiang is appointed as the chief of Section 1 of the Technical Department, and Comrade Ding Baoguo is appointed as the chief of Section 2 of the Technical Department and concurrently serves as the director of the office!"

Hu Weijun's appointment caused an uproar in the entire meeting hall. Some were happy, while others were angry!

"I don't accept it!" Wu Jiandong jumped up. As Huang Haishan's direct descendant, he had always been the most senior in the Technical Department and he was the second in command. He even looked down upon Su Wenqiang. This time, he tried his best to compete for the position of deputy director. However, he had little contact with the newly appointed leaders of Factory 817, especially Hu Weijun. He used to look down on Hu Weijun, and it was impossible for him to get closer to him now!

"What are you dissatisfied with? Tell me!"

"I am the section chief of the technical department, why are you transferring me to the workshop?"

"First of all, you are an employee of 817. You must obey the arrangements of the factory leaders. This is a principle you must abide by! You may have doubts, but this is the decision of the factory committee and you must execute it! But since you have doubts, I will explain it to you now! First of all, you are transferred horizontally, your level remains unchanged, and you still enjoy the treatment of a regular section chief. Secondly, you are transferred to the workshop to better serve the workshop and provide more efficient technical support to the workshop! Comrade Wu Jiandong, do you understand what I mean?"

"Why transfer me? And not Lv Junqiang?" Wu Jiandong couldn't refute what Hu Weijun said. At the same time, as a section-level official, the factory could transfer him as long as they attended a meeting. If he was at the deputy director level, it would be different. After the factory committee made a decision, it would have to be reported to the superiors for approval! But he quickly changed his target and aimed at Lv Junqiang who stayed in the technical department!

"That's right, why not Lu Junqiang!" Guo Dacheng, who was also a wanderer in the world, also stood up to support Wu Jiandong!

"Let me answer this question. Previously, a task was assigned to three departments to design a car frame at the same time. Only Lv Junqiang submitted a design. What about your design? Do you not know how to do it, or do you not want to do it?" Chen Zhiguo took over the topic.

"We don't know how to do it. We haven't learned it. Our main business is not to study cars!" Wu Jiandong replied angrily.

"Okay! If you don't know, can you learn it? Did Lu Junqiang know it before? He studied the same major as you and did the same job, so why could he design it? In the final analysis, there is something wrong with your thinking! You can pretend to obey the tasks assigned by the factory leaders, and you can shirk them with a simple "I don't know"! It's conceivable what your work attitude is like at ordinary times? This time I asked you to go to the workshop, just to let you learn from the workers in the workshop and learn their work attitude! Do you understand what I said? Is there anything you are not convinced of? Are you dissatisfied?"

Chen Zhiguo's words left Wu Jiandong and Guo Dacheng speechless and unable to refute! They were not dismissed, but just transferred to the same level. They had no reason to do so!

In the past, they just relied on their technical talents. The production in the factory needed their technical guidance, so the factory did not dare to touch them. Now that the factory has Chen Zhiguo, a technical master, they seem insignificant. Many things do not need to go through them and are directly issued to the workshop. In simple terms, they are no longer useful! Without Huang Haishan as a backer and unable to rely on their own technology, what else can they use to resist the factory's orders?

Why didn't Chen Zhiguo take over the technical department? He just wanted to set a benchmark. Lv Junqiang's design was also very bad, but the first thing to look at when doing things is attitude. If you don't have a serious attitude, then what's the use of you! Moreover, Lv Junqiang is not Huang Haishan's direct line. He is the former deputy director's man. In order to make room for Chen Zhiguo, the deputy director was transferred to the trade union as deputy secretary. This time, he also talked to Chen Zhiguo in detail about Lv Junqiang's matter. Chen Zhiguo can naturally accept it!

As for Ding Baoguo, although Chen Zhiguo had a bad impression of him at the beginning and he had to ask Huang Haishan for permission for a desk, this was also Ding Baoguo's way of survival, because Huang Haishan was the boss of the department at that time? Jiang Yuehua couldn't take office blindly, she had to have someone familiar to assist her, so the cautious Ding Baoguo was retained. Of course, this was also decided after Hu Weijun and Chen Zhiguo jointly persuaded him to transfer him to the second section as section chief and concurrently as office director. This was a sweet treat for him!

Chapter 406 Good news!

Obviously, after taking full control of the Technical Department, Chen Zhiguo's work was greatly helped. Moreover, the strong woman Jiang Yuehua straightened out the entire Technical Department in a very short time, transferred and promoted people, and soon the entire Technical Department changed from the previous chaos and inaction! Chen Zhiguo's orders were most resolutely implemented here!

As soon as Hu Weijun appeared in Chen Zhiguo's office, he was spotted by Chen Zhiguo, "What are you doing here?"

"I just came to see how your work is going and whether it's hard for you." Hu Weijun said with a smile.

"Don't be so hypocritical. Don't I know what you are thinking? You must be here for no good reason. You must be like a weasel visiting a chicken with ulterior motives!" Chen Zhiguo retorted mercilessly. The Hu sisters on the side watched with a smile as the two factory leaders bickered like children!

"That's unfair to me. I just came here to see if you have any work arrangements!"

"Why, you're tired of sitting in the office, and you want to move around?"

"Look at what you said. I'll be in the workshop every day, learning as much as I can!"

Chen Zhiguo nodded and said to Hu Xiaoyun, "Bring me a copy of the file I asked you to back up yesterday!" Hu Xiaoyun quickly took out a thick document from the filing cabinet and handed it to Chen Zhiguo!

"I'll give you a good opportunity to learn and gain a deeper understanding of the construction of a workshop!" Chen Zhiguo threw the thick document in front of Hu Weijun, "Get ready for the meeting. We're going to open a new workshop this time!"

"Is it necessary?" Hu Weijun was shocked. Just to modify a few cars, they made such a big move. This was too arrogant! To put it bluntly, this was a bit of misappropriation of public resources!

"What are you thinking about?" Chen Zhiguo pointed at the pile of documents in front of him, "These are the subsequent designs. If you delay in the production workshop for too long and mess up the work, you can forget about these designs!"

"Subsequent design?" Hu Weijun immediately became interested. "Zhiguo, tell me about it first!"

"Get out! Let's set up the workshop and build the production line first. You won't understand even if I tell you now!" Chen Zhiguo refused bluntly without giving Hu Weijun any face just because he was the factory director!

. . . . . . . . . . . .

When the cold wind blows mercilessly on people's faces, bringing the bleakness of winter, Factory 817 presents a bustling atmosphere. At this time, Factory 817 is like a melting pot, isolating the cold winter!

It was a drizzling winter rain, and in the originally bleak weather, the test field of Factory 817 was filled with a crowd of onlookers. Originally, armored beasts were galloping on this test field, but today, more than a dozen vehicles of different sizes and shapes were lined up in a row, waiting for inspection!

The temporary podium looked very simple, without any shelter from wind or rain. It just had a few chairs on it and no conference table. In the words of Chen Zhiguo, people were here to watch the vehicle test, not to give speeches, so what was the point of a conference table?

In such cold wind and pouring winter rain, Minister Yu, Minister Wang, and other leaders were sitting or standing on the simple rostrum, waiting for the test to begin with great interest!

The people in charge of driving the test vehicles are not employees of Factory 817, but professional and most skilled drivers brought by Minister Yu. They had already practiced for a whole day yesterday, and today they will mainly demonstrate the passability of these vehicles in muddy, rugged and complex terrain conditions!

"I declare that the test of special vehicles of Factory 817 will begin now!" Following Hu Weijun's announcement, the neatly lined up vehicles started to set off one after another and began to conduct unconventional tests on the test field!

Each car has a number on it, and every time a car passes the rostrum, Hu Weijun begins to introduce the name and performance of the vehicle!

"The first car is a regular four-wheel drive off-road vehicle..."

"The second car, an all-terrain mountain bike, ..."

"The third vehicle, the all-terrain mountain commander off-road vehicle..."

"The fourth one is a logistics support vehicle..."

After watching the vehicle models' passability on muddy roads, climbing hills, wading, and other complex ground conditions, these bigwigs went into the conference room. It was not because they were afraid of the cold, but because they were very pressed for time. The testing of these vehicles was not completed after just one run today. Multiple tests would need to be carried out in various places across the country, in different environments, and in different climates, in order to get real experimental data!

What these big guys want to discuss now is the transformation of Factory 817 and its civilian applications!
