Siheyuan, don't mess with me

"The production design drawings of the first factory are reported here. We want to carry out technical transformation!" Chen Zhiguo saw such an application report when he was helping Li Guoqiang get the information today! I didn't expect it to be used now!

"Oh! I remember now! That means that Hongxing used the production design data of the seamless steel pipe produced by Yan Steel No. 1 Plant. However, this data is the production technology data of Yan Steel No. 1 Plant that is going to upgrade its technology. In other words, the production technology of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill is outdated and will be eliminated before it is even built, right?"

"Yes, Dean!" Chen Zhiguo said loudly.

"Director Liu, Director Yang, I don't know why you came here today, but one thing is clear: you treat a technology that is about to be eliminated as a treasure. I want to ask, where is your sense of responsibility? Is this your work attitude? How much economic loss will you cause to the country by doing this?"

Li Guoqiang paused and continued, "You don't know anything about the project you are going to launch, but you signed the project based on personal connections and face. Let me tell you, Lao Liu, I will report your behavior to Minister Qi. And you, Director Yang, are the director of a factory with 10,000 people. You can't decide on the production task on a whim. You have to consider whether you are creating economic benefits for the country or wasting the country's money. How did someone like you become a factory director? Go back quickly! I really don't want to see you!" Li Guoqiang drove them away. Director Liu didn't expect that he would be deceived by his old friend, and it was a very fatal one. Once such a reputation spread, his progress would stop. Therefore, Lao Liu ignored the people in the steel rolling mill and ran to the hospital on his own!

In the private room, the crowd that had just gathered had dispersed. "Zhiguo, let me introduce you to your senior brother, Lu Mingjie, the director of the design department!"

Lu Mingjie was the first college student taught by Li Baoguo. After graduation, he went to work in the Ministry of Industry. It was not until Li Guoqiang entered the Design Institute of the Ministry of Industry that the master and apprentice officially met! The two complemented each other and made progress together!

"Hello, senior brother! I'm Chen Zhiguo!" "Hello, junior brother, I'm Lu Mingjie!" The two shook hands.

"If it weren't for Zhiguo today, I would have been fooled by them!" Li Guoqiang sighed while the dishes were being served.

"Master, your research direction is not in this area, it is normal that you don't understand these things!"

"That won't work! You. The pen in my hand is related to tens of thousands of funds. If it is all wasted like this, what's the use of us? So, you must be cautious, be cautious!"

Originally, Li Guoqiang was to be sent to the private room, and Chen Zhiguo and the others were to go to the first floor to eat. The main purpose of going to the second floor was for Chen Zhiguo to get familiar with the place, but after something like this happened, Li Guoqiang simply asked them to stay for dinner!

Four dishes and one soup, nothing exceeded the standard! Li Guoqiang didn't arrange any wine for lunch, so the lunch was very fast. If Lu Mingjie hadn't pulled Chen Zhiguo to discuss the production technology of seamless steel pipes, the lunch would have been over long ago!

While returning to the office, he discussed production technology with Lu Mingjie. Chen Zhiguo studied industrial automation in his previous life, and he also took seamless steel pipes as the direction of his thesis and studied them for a while. Therefore, Lu Mingjie had never seen many of the equipment and technologies he mentioned, so he was very curious. How did this junior brother know about them?

Chapter 70 Inspection of the Steel Rolling Mill’s Work!

Li Guoqiang went back to the office for lunch, while Chen Zhiguo was pulled by Lu Mingjie to his office on the third floor. "Zhiguo, I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable about seamless steel pipes!" Lu Mingjie said as he made tea for Chen Zhiguo.

Compared to Li Zhiguo's office, Lu Mingjie's office was not only smaller, but also very messy. The desk was piled with documents, and the coffee table and sofa were no longer functional, as they were all piled with documents. "Don't be disgusted, I have no choice. The final review is all done by me, and it ended up like this!" Lu Mingjie said with a wry smile as he made room for Chen Zhiguo to sit.

"Brother, can you handle this busy schedule?" Chen Zhiguo felt his hair go numb as he looked at the mountain of documents!

"I can't finish the work even if I work 365 days a year without a break!" Lu Mingjie complained. All projects, big and small, had to be reviewed and signed by him. His pen determined the use of tens, hundreds, or even millions of funds. Therefore, Lu Mingjie had a heavy responsibility and was under great pressure!

"Zhiguo, you are familiar with seamless steel pipes. I have several manufacturers that are planning to launch seamless steel pipes. Can you help me see how their design process works?"

"Then I might as well do some research on it. I saw such an article in a bound journal in the school library, so I found some information and did some research on it. But it may take a few days until I am settled here!" We are all family, so of course I will help if I can. This is also a learning process!

In the afternoon, Chen Zhiguo received a bicycle, which was about 70% new. When Chen Zhiguo saw it, the bicycle was polished to a very high shine and was very clean. He also got the key to the duty dormitory on the fourth floor. After all, it was a formal unit, and the logistics service was impeccable. When Chen Zhiguo went to see the room, the room was not big, about 20 square meters, with a single bed, a desk, a wardrobe, a three-person sofa with a coffee table, and the furniture and bedding were all new, including the thermos, teacups, and teapots. One had to admire Wang Yutian's attentiveness!

Since it is a duty room converted from an office, the washroom and toilet are all on the west side of the floor. Fortunately, they are not far away and are indoors, so they are very convenient to use!

After thanking Zhang Chengjie who accompanied him, Chen Zhiguo officially started working as an assistant for Li Guoqiang. It must be said that it was really tedious and he was never free for a moment. Apart from attending classes at the University of Science and Technology every day, which was a relatively easy job, the work in the Ministry of Industry was very busy. Chen Zhiguo was a little uncomfortable at the beginning. He had to read endless documents and attend endless meetings every day. In between, he also had to inspect various units, and receive reports from leaders, subordinates, and subordinate units. Chen Zhiguo was able to persist and was energetic every day, but Li Guoqiang was indeed becoming increasingly tired!

"After all, they are young people, with great energy and strength!" Li Guoqiang was dizzy after reading documents all day. When he was about to leave work, he saw Chen Zhiguo in high spirits and couldn't help but sigh.

"Teacher, you are not old, you just lack exercise! I have a set of health exercises here, which was taught to me by an old man in my hometown. I have been practicing it all the time, which can keep me energetic all the time!" Chen Zhiguo took the opportunity to throw out his health exercises. Helping Li Guoqiang is helping himself. This truth is very obvious. Chen Zhiguo does not intend to keep it secret. Besides, this is not a method of cultivating immortals!

"Oh! Is it really effective?" Li Guoqiang became interested. Everyone wants to have a healthy and energetic body. This is the foundation of everything. Why did the old dean retire? It was because his body couldn't take it anymore. If he stayed in the hospital for recuperation every year, what would happen to his work? One or two days, one or two months is fine, but what about one or two years?

"Teacher, as long as you persist in practicing for a month or two, you will naturally see the effect!" Although this health-preserving exercise cannot open the brain and train mental strength like meditation, as an exercise method passed down from ancient times, it naturally has its unique effects. Although the effect cannot be as good as that of the cow in ancient times, simple physical fitness can be easily achieved as long as you persist in practicing!

The movements are very simple, with only six movements in total. Li Guoqiang learned it after learning it twice. Chen Zhiguo also taught him a simple breathing method. Practicing them together will achieve better results!

Unexpectedly, when Chen Zhiguo went to pick up Li Guoqiang the next day, he found that Li Guoqiang's complexion looked very good. In the car, "Zhiguo, the method you taught is really good. I practiced it several times again at night, and I fell asleep very quickly and slept until dawn!" Li Guoqiang said happily that people who work hard have poor sleep quality. Insomnia, frequent dreams and less sleep are all normal phenomena. It is a luxury to be able to get a good night's sleep!

"It's good to be able to help the teacher. If the teacher practices regularly, his health will get better and better!"

"I will definitely find time to practice!" The effect is so good, Li Guoqiang will definitely practice,

"Teacher, are we going to go directly to the steel mill or meet up with the department and set off together?"

"Let's go together," a new official takes office. The new minister of the Ministry of Industry needs to conduct research and inspections in various places and conduct a survey of the factories under him. All of this requires the accompaniment of Li Guoqiang. In the Ministry of Industry, except for the chief engineer of the Ministry of Industry, Li Guoqiang is the master who manages the production technology and products of the entire subordinate units. When the minister goes down, Li Guoqiang must accompany him. At the same time, the Planning Department and the Design Department must also accompany him. Li Guoqiang does not understand the production and construction of all factories. In case Li Guoqiang is not familiar with the situation, they must step forward to fill the gaps!

Before nine o'clock, at 8:50, Chen Zhiguo drove Li Guoqiang and Lu Mingjie to meet in front of the Ministry of Industry building. Director Liu of the Planning Department had been on sick leave since the last incident. The one who came this time was a deputy director named Hu. He didn't dare to squeeze in a car with the dean, and he didn't dare to sit in Director Liu's car at home. He could only ask Wang Yutian to arrange a jeep for him to follow behind Chen Zhiguo's car!

At nine o'clock, as the top leader came downstairs, the convoy started to set off. The unit to be inspected today was the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Starting from the Ministry of Industry, it took less than half an hour's drive to reach the gate of the steel rolling mill.

At this time, at the gate of the steel mill, gongs and drums were beating, colorful flags were waving, and there was a banner at the gate that read, "Warmly welcome the leaders of the Ministry of Industry to come and give us guidance!"

A large group of people stood at the gate and applauded to welcome them. The leader was Director Yang. After the leader's car drove into the gate, it stopped immediately. The leading car and the vehicles behind also stepped on the brakes! Director Yang trotted a few steps, walked forward and opened the door of the leader's car. "Welcome to come and inspect our work!"

"Xiao Yang, you've made quite a scene. Don't do these things in the future! It's so pretentious!" Although he seemed to be blaming her, the big boss was actually very happy.

"This was all spontaneously organized by our factory, and it was voluntary on the part of our employees!"

"You!" The senior leader nodded at Director Yang. At this time, the leaders who had already gotten off the car had already come over.

Just now, Chen Zhiguo's car had just braked when he felt the car vibrate. He tilted his head and saw that the jeep behind him had hit him. Fortunately, it was at the end of the team and it was just a minor collision, which did not attract the attention of others. After Li Guoqiang got out of the car, he took Lu Mingjie and Lao Hu and went straight forward. He wanted to accompany the big leader on the inspection!

These small matters were directly handed over to Chen Zhiguo to handle. After Chen Zhiguo parked the car, he walked up to the jeep driver, whose face had turned pale, and asked, "What's going on?"

"I stepped on the brakes, but they didn't work properly!" Fortunately, the car was not going very fast at the time, otherwise it would have been a big accident.

Chen Zhiguo asked the driver to get out of the car, and he stepped on the brake twice. It was indeed very soft, without any force at all. After stepping on it several times, there was only a little feedback force.

"There's something wrong with the brakes. Do you usually drive this car?" Chen Zhiguo asked.

"No, I'm the one driving a large truck in the logistics department. There are no drivers today, so Director Wang asked me to come and help." The driver also had a look of regret on his face. He drives a large truck in the logistics department, so his salary is naturally not as high as that of a small car driver. Moreover, small car drivers have all kinds of invisible benefits!

Originally, he was very happy to receive this task today. When he went out to inspect the work, he could not only eat some delicious food, but also receive souvenirs from units with good treatment. Even if he didn't get as much as his boss, at least he could get something. And since they were given, they were all good things! But in the end, something like this happened. He was worried about how Director Wang would deal with him after he returned.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll find someone to fix your car!" In a short while, the gate became deserted. Chen Zhiguo asked the jeep to stop driving and drove his car into the steel rolling mill first!

Vehicles of all sizes were parked in front of the steel mill's office building. As soon as Chen Zhiguo parked his car, a staff member of the steel mill came up to him and said, "Hello, comrade. We have arranged a lounge for you. It's in the meeting room on the first floor!"

"Hello, we have another colleague whose car has a problem at the gate. Can you please help?"

"Then please wait a moment, I will go and ask our leader to come!" The staff did not dare to make the decision and could only ask the leader to come and handle it. In fact, Chen Zhiguo's father, Chen Dayong, worked here, but this was a public business, so naturally there was no need for Chen Zhiguo to go to his father!

Soon, the staff member came over with a middle-aged man. Chen Zhiguo looked familiar. He was the man who followed Director Yang that day. Unexpectedly, this man was also a talent. He recognized Chen Zhiguo immediately. "Hello, Assistant Chen! I am Xu Liye, the director of the steel mill office!"

"Hello, Director Xu!" The two shook hands warmly and talked.

"Director Xu, the car of the director of our unit's planning department had a minor problem just now when we were at the gate. Can you help fix it?"

"Of course it's no problem. We have experts in car repair at our steel mill. Assistant Chen, don't worry!"

Chen Zhiguo brought Director Xu and the staff member to the gate. After seeing the jeep, Director Xu arranged for the staff member to call for help! He accompanied Chen Zhiguo to chat at the gate!

At this time, the leaders were all in the conference room listening to the report of the steel mill. Chen Zhiguo could go or not. Director Xu's task today was to provide logistics reception and entertain the comrades. It was not time for dinner yet, so he had time to chat with Chen Zhiguo! Moreover, he knew that Chen Zhiguo was not a simple person. His teacher was Li Guoqiang, and Lu Mingjie from the Design Department was his senior. This relationship was very strong in the Ministry of Industry, so he was also intentional to make friends with him!

Soon, a group of people came out from the gate.

"Zhiguo!"

"father!"

Chapter 71 Inspection (1)

The one who came out from the gate was led by Chen Dayong. He was the director of the maintenance workshop of the transportation department of the steel rolling mill. He had the task of carrying out maintenance for external units. To be on the safe side, Chen Dayong of course had to go forward to check in person!

Unexpectedly, the person standing at the gate was his son Chen Zhiguo. Why did he come here? Confused, Chen Dayong called Chen Zhiguo.

"Dad, why did you come here in person?"

"Why don't you trust your father's skills?" Chen Dayong said unhappily.

"Of course not, the car just has a minor problem. It would be a waste of your talent to ask you to help!" Chen Zhiguo could only coax his father. He had not been home for several weeks. Although Chen Dayong missed his son very much, he started to get angry when he saw him!

While talking, the vehicle inspection also began. After Chen Dayong stepped on the brakes a few times, he lay down under the car to take a look. "The brake oil is leaking. Just pull it back and replace the oil pipe!"

Chen Dayong turned around and said to the driver, "How can you drive without checking or maintaining the car? It's so dangerous!" If Chen Dayong was not Chen Zhiguo's father, the driver could still confront him by relying on his status as a design institute. But now he doesn't dare to do it even if he has the courage, and can only lower his head and take the blame!

"Dad, don't talk nonsense, I'm here to help!" Chen Zhiguo saw the driver's aggrieved look and could only step forward to help explain! He also knew that his father loved cars like his life, and he couldn't bear to see others not taking good care of their vehicles!

After Chen Dayong arranged the personnel and pushed the jeep to the maintenance workshop, Xu Liye had the opportunity to speak, "It turns out that Assistant Chen is our old Chen's son! This steel rolling mill is also your mother's home!" After all, he is in charge of reception. His level of networking is really amazing.

"Director Xu, I'm just a college student doing internship following my teacher!" Chen Zhiguo said modestly, but Xu Liye would not miss such a relationship. As long as Chen Dayong was in the steel rolling mill for one day, this relationship would be established sooner or later!

The meeting lasted a whole morning, and when it was over, it was time for lunch. This leader is really good at controlling the meeting time!

Chen Zhiguo had no chance to enter the private room of the steel mill's small canteen. He sat at the same table with his secretary and drivers. There was no such thing as drunk driving at that time, and there was wine on the table. Chen Zhiguo saw that many drivers would have a drink, one or two taels of wine, and no one would drink more. As for the secretaries, no one would touch their glasses!

Xu Liye, the factory office director, is the busiest one right now. He can be seen everywhere in the kitchen, private rooms, and hall. Look, Xu Liye, who just came out of the private room, took a cloth bag from the staff waiting on the side and distributed cigarettes to the secretaries and drivers one by one. Actually, these jobs were not originally done by Xu Liye, but by that staff member. However, since Chen Zhiguo was here today, Xu Liye wanted to step forward and build relationships himself!

Two packs of Peony cigarettes were given to each person. When it came to Chen Zhiguo, it was already the last pack. Xu Liye handed Chen Zhiguo two packs of cigarettes and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Assistant Chen!"

Chen Zhiguo stood up quickly and said, "Thank you, Director Xu, for keeping you thinking!"

The other drivers all took it nonchalantly. The nicer ones said thank you, while the arrogant ones just nodded. Only Chen Zhiguo was very polite, which made Xu Liye feel respect for him!

The working meal in the hall ended quickly, but the meal in the private room was still going on. Chen Zhiguo saw that the dishes were still being delivered to the private room, so he wanted to take some time to go see his father first!

In the maintenance workshop, Chen Dayong was still busy. "Dad, have you eaten?"

Chen Dayong heard Chen Zhiguo's voice and poked his head out from under the car, "I've already eaten! Let's fix the car!"

"Dad, don't be so anxious. We're not in a hurry to leave this afternoon!"

"It's okay, it will be fixed soon!" As Chen Dayong tightened the last screw, he slid out from under the car, took off his greasy gloves, got in the car to try the brakes, and after pressing the brakes several times, he seemed very satisfied. He started the car and drove it out for a circle, testing the brakes at various speeds! Only when Chen Dayong was satisfied did he drive the car back!

"It's fixed?"

"Of course!" Chen Dayong was very dissatisfied with his son's doubt on his car repair skills!

Chen Zhiguo laughed and handed the two bags of Peony to Chen Dayong, "Dad, this is for you!"

"Where did you come from?"

"I sent it while we were eating!"

While Chen Dayong was smoking happily, Chen Zhiguo told him what had happened during this period. "The teacher you are following now is the dean of the design institute. Are you his assistant and driver?"

"Yes!" Chen Zhiguo handed his work badge and driver's license to Chen Dayong to look at. Chen Dayong felt like he was dreaming. His son had arranged his own job before he even graduated from university!

"When are you going home? Your sister is always nagging you!"

"Let me take a look. I just started my new post and need to get familiar with everything. I'll be fine once I'm done with this busy period!"

Chen Zhiguo chatted with Chen Dayong for a few words, and was driven away by Chen Dayong. When he returned to the small cafeteria, the banquet in the private room had not yet ended. Chen Zhiguo was bored and wandered around the hall.

"Chen Zhiguo, why are you here?"

Chen Zhiguo looked around and saw that it was He Yuzhu, who was standing at the food delivery entrance in the kitchen, waving at Chen Zhiguo!

"Brother Zhuzi, are you done?" He Yuzhu opened the kitchen door and let Chen Zhiguo in. In the kitchen, two young men were cleaning the stove, and two kitchen helpers were washing the dishes. Only He Yuzhu was sitting on a large recliner.

"Brother Zhuzi, you are so comfortable!"

"What's so comfortable about that? It's not as comfortable as holding a pen. Look at how oily I am!" He Yuzhu fiddled with his hair.
