Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 124 Meeting Director Xia for the First Time

The first day of work was uneventful. Except for being called away by the secretary in the morning, there were no other accidents. Zhu Xuefeng spent the whole time quietly tempering himself.

Looking at my hands, I almost had blisters even after wearing gloves, and several places were red. Fortunately, those who practice swordsmanship and spear training have a lot of calluses on their hands. A newcomer would really have to take home a few blisters after coming here for a day.

"Master, I'm going first."

After saying hello to Master Lu and packing his belongings, Zhu Xuefeng followed the team off work and walked to the factory gate to say hello to Section Chief Ma.

"Xue Feng, how are you? Are you okay on your first day at work? I have found someone to be your master."

"It's very good. The masters take good care of me. My master is Master Lu, and he also takes good care of me. Thank you for your concern, the leader."

There were people coming and going, so it was not suitable for chatting. Zhu Xuefeng smiled and made fun, then turned around and rode away.

"This kid has become oily on his first day on the job." Section Chief Ma cursed with a smile.

As agreed, Zhu Xuefeng rode directly to the motorcycle factory. The guard did not stop him at all and rode to the downstairs of Section Chief Lu.

In the office, Section Chief Lu has packed overtime meals and is waiting for Zhu Xuefeng to arrive.

Zhu Xuefeng was not polite. He was indeed hungry. His lunch box was ready. He was so polite. It seemed hypocritical and inauthentic.

Just open the lunch box and eat it. It's so satisfying to eat something ready-made. Don't worry about the dishes. In fact, Section Chief Lu is also very angry. There are two meat dishes, although there is not much meat.

When Section Chief Lu saw Zhu Xuefeng come in, he didn't even say hello. He sat down and started to eat. He was in a good mood and was soft-spoken. Zhu Xuefeng made it clear that he took the initiative, so he didn't say anything and hurriedly ate while snoring.

After Zhu Xuefeng finished eating, he patted his belly and wiped his mouth. When he saw Section Chief Lu also throwing down his chopsticks, he threw a cigarette and lit it himself. He smoked one Huazi in one day at the factory, which was quite a small amount.

"Uncle Lu, I didn't even work overtime at my own factory. I came to the motorcycle factory to work overtime on the first day of work. Tell me what kind of work you want to assign to me."

"I don't know what the job is. After smoking, let's go find our factory director. He's still waiting for you."

"Your Factory Manager Xia? Did he go to our factory in the afternoon?"

"Yeah, I was very happy when I went there, but I didn't feel happy when I came back. Did you make a fool of yourself?"

Zhu Xuefeng didn't take it seriously. He said it didn't count.

"Uncle Lu, you think too highly of me. I am a fitter apprentice who just joined the factory today. How can I get to such a high level?"

As expected, Section Chief Lu was taken away.

"that's true."

Zhu Xuefeng shouldn't joke around about this matter and tell the truth quickly.

"Our leaders also approached me this morning and wanted to produce small motorcycles. I mentioned that the motorcycle factory also wants to produce motorcycles. The two leaders should have asked factory director Xia to negotiate."

Section Chief Lu glared at Zhu Xuefeng.

"It's not your kid's fault. You knew we wanted to produce, but you still let your factory do it. You are marrying a woman twice, which is really bad for you."

"Uncle Lu, you can't say that. Firstly, I have never promised your factory. Secondly, it was not my suggestion that our factory wanted to produce it. They came to me directly. I just told the truth."

Section Chief Lu also understood that Zhu Xuefeng had only been there for a day, and it was impossible for a young apprentice to make the decision for the steel rolling mill on such a big matter.

Just as the two of them had finished smoking, Section Chief Lu threw away the cigarette butt and looked at Zhu Xuefeng. "Come with me, I really need to go to the factory director and ask."

Factory Director Xia had finished eating early and was looking at the task completion report when he heard a knock on the door from outside. It was probably Section Chief Lu who was here without raising his head.

"Come in and pour yourself some water."

Section Chief Lu brought Zhu Xuefeng into the office, bent down to find two teacups in the tea cabinet, rinsed them with boiling water, found tea leaves, and brewed two cups.

Director Xia is not that old. Judging from his full head of black hair, he is estimated to be around forty. He is much younger than Director Yang. His face is invisible and he never turned around.

Zhu Xuefeng's eyes were very good. Isn't this Rushan green tea? He made two kilograms himself and gave half a kilogram (two bags) each to his godmother and Xia Yuhong. Either the factory director Xia had given it to him from his superiors, or this was Xia Yuhong's father. !
He couldn't help but sit up, trying to look as tall as possible. Section Chief Lu looked at Zhu Xuefeng inexplicably, thinking he was going crazy. He looked lazy just now, but now he lost his energy.

Factory Director Xia must have finished reading the report. He looked a little worried. He put down the report and turned around.

Zhu Xuefeng took a quick glance. The first impression that Director Xia gave him was that he was a little haggard, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

"Sorry, I almost finished it just now."

"You are Xiao Zhu, the designer of small motorcycles."

His attitude was very kind. When he took out a cigarette, Zhu Xuefeng waved his hands repeatedly. Director Xia stopped and did not smoke himself.

"Director Xia, hello, this motorcycle was indeed designed by me."

She looks nothing like Xia Yuhong. What happened? I made a mistake in my judgment. It seems to be a bit similar. It's most likely not the case. Don't they all say that daughters look like their fathers?

"Xiao Zhu, your Factory Director Yang and Secretary Chen talked to me this afternoon. The production of this small motorcycle is supposedly your design and your factory wants to use it. Our motorcycle factory does not have the qualifications and status to participate. "

When Director Xia said this, he looked at Zhu Xuefeng, his expression was calm, and the worry on his face was gone.

"But you also know that your sample was produced in our factory, and our cadres and masses also paid a huge price for it. From casting to production, including the subsequent engine testing, huge manpower and material resources were invested. "

Zhu Xuefeng can no longer sit still. What Director Xia said must be expressed.

"Director Xia, speaking of this, I sincerely thank the motorcycle factory for their strong support, whether it is casting or other things. Indeed, without the strong support of the motorcycle factory, this would definitely remain on the drawing board."

Lao Xia cursed secretly, the little guy is too cunning. Without our help, it is still a blueprint, and there is nothing wrong with what he said.

"Director Xia, that's it. I also communicated with the leaders this morning. I suggested joint production. After all, each has its own strengths. It's unrealistic to do it all."

Director Yang and Secretary Chen should have made the same suggestion. Director Xia did not express his position, so Zhu Xuefeng decided to add one pound.

"In subsequent production, I will continue to improve the engine, and the requirements for production conditions will be higher. At present, it seems that the casting level of the motorcycle factory cannot meet the needs of new engine production."

As expected, Director Xia couldn't sit still and discussed this issue in the afternoon. However, the leader of the steel rolling mill did not elaborate on it. Now the designer also said the same face to face.

"You still need to change it? Our factory can't do it? We don't make all the engines of our three-wheel motorcycles ourselves. Your small engine is difficult?"

If it is true that the engine cannot be manufactured by our own factory, then we have completely stopped thinking about it.

Zhu Xuefeng organized his words and stated his next idea.

The material of part of the engine needs to be changed. The cast iron engine is affected by the material and has too many restrictions. The furnace temperature of the motorcycle factory cannot meet the requirements of the new engine material.
