Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 11 Earning Foreign Exchange
"Hey, there's a new person in the hospital. I've only been away for a few days."

A young man with a horse face walked over slowly and greeted Yang Zhenyu.

"Ah, I just moved here. I live opposite Teacher Yan's house in the front yard." Yang Zhenyu said politely.

"I'm Xu Damao from the backyard, a projectionist at the steel rolling mill. What's your name, brother?" Xu Damao said in a very familiar manner.

"My name is Yang Zhenyu, and I also work in the steel rolling mill." Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

"That's great. We'll be colleagues from now on. If you need any help, I'll definitely help you, bro." Xu Damao said, patting his chest.

"Oh, where does such a strong wind come from? You are also asked to help. Can you do it?" He Yuzhu also walked out of the house at this time.

"You bastard, I'm talking to my brother, why are you butting in?" Xu Damao glared at He Yuzhu and said.

"Hehe, do you deserve a beating, kid?" He Yuzhu said to Xu Damao with a smile.

"Okay, I won't argue with you, a fool. It's time to go to work." Xu Damao rolled his eyes and slipped away.

"Okay, you'll be busy again." Yang Zhenyu said after washing himself.

"By the way, Brother Zhuzi, why did you get up so early today?" Yang Zhenyu asked curiously.

"Brother, this big fool is not a good person. Stay away from him in the future, otherwise he will lead you astray." He Yuzhu said to Yang Zhenyu in a low voice.

He Yuzhu curled his lips in disdain.

"Hey, where do I get so much money? This was bought for me by my aunt. It costs more than 170 yuan. How about it? Doesn't it look good?" Yang Zhenyu said while pushing the cart.

"There's nothing we can do about it. This is how we make a living." He Yuzhu shrugged.

By nature, He Yuzhu is not a bad person, just a little bit stubborn, but definitely not stupid.

"It's still a good show among brothers." He Yuzhu laughed.

"Oh, don't mention it. The factory has a reception task today. I have to go there early to prepare. I don't know when the leader will come." He Yuzhu waved his hand and said.

"Not bad, that's great. There are quite a few bikes in our factory, but there aren't many who are as young as Section Chief Yang and can ride a bike." The man was a little envious when he said this.

"Okay, man, I won't waste any more time and let's go to the factory." He Yuzhu said with a grin.

Yang Zhenyu nodded, then went back to the room and pushed the bicycle out.

According to the past, He Yuzhu would definitely not arrive at the factory before ten o'clock. Today, it's just a little after seven o'clock, why is he up?

"Okay, I'll go too."

"Hey, I'll go in first. We'll talk later when we have time." Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

"whispering sound!"

"Okay, I'll be more careful next time." Yang Zhenyu said politely.

Even though there were already 100,000 bicycles in the city at that time, young people who could ride bicycles were still handsome.

"Hey, what you said is true. It is said that cooks will never starve in a famine, and others will envy them too." Yang Zhenyu said.

"Hey, Chief Yang, did you buy a new car?" The people from the Security Department greeted him with a smile when they saw Yang Zhenyu coming.

Along the way, Yang Zhenyu became the most handsome guy and his rate of turning heads was quite high.

"Okay, I won't delay Chief Yang's work."

After locking his bicycle, Yang Zhenyu returned to his office.

At this time, Qi Fangfang and the others had already arrived and were cleaning the office. "Section Chief!"

"Senior!"

Seeing Yang Zhenyu coming in, the three of them hurriedly greeted him. Now the three of them admired Yang Zhenyu very much.

"Well, our department as a whole took a day off yesterday. How was it?" Yang Zhenyu asked as he sat down at his seat.

"Well, what else can you do? Just rest at home. It's so cold at this time, why would you want to go out?" Xin Xiangdong said while pouring water for Yang Zhenyu.

"That's right, it's so cold, and the weather changes so quickly. It will probably snow in a few days." Qi Fangfang also said.

"While we are still young, we should walk more." Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

"Chief, have you heard? Today our superiors are coming to inspect our two machines, and they will probably be taken away." Chen Zhiming said in a low voice.

"Oh? Really? So fast." Yang Zhenyu said in surprise.

"Yes, I heard that the higher-ups are very anxious and attach great importance to these two projects. There are rumors that they want to export to earn foreign exchange. What does it mean to earn foreign exchange?" Chen Zhiming said, scratching his head.

"Earning foreign exchange means creating foreign exchange, selling our products to foreigners, and then earning money from foreigners," Yang Zhenyu explained.

"Earn money from foreigners? Is it really possible?" Xin Xiangdong said with shining eyes.

Not only Xin Xiangdong, Qi Fangfang and Chen Zhiming also looked eager, they also hoped to win glory for the country.

"Of course it can work. Our country is a little poor, but it doesn't mean we can't sell our products to foreigners. Moreover, many Western countries are working hard to achieve mechanization. These rotary tillers and combine harvesters are good things. Selling them to foreigners can save them a lot of effort. Those farmers will definitely be very happy." Yang Zhenyu said.

"That's great. If we can sell it to foreigners, then aren't we also making a contribution to the country?"

All three of them were very happy. It was a great honor to be able to contribute to the country.

"As long as you work hard, you will be making a contribution to the country. After these two projects are accepted, we will have new projects to do, so don't be too happy too soon, or you will be tired by then." Yang Zhenyu said.

"Yes, I will definitely work hard."

The three of them started their day's work with excitement.

Because the new project has not started yet, the main task of the three people is to look at the drawings and study the drawings. After the new project is launched, the entire three departments will become busy.

"Chief Yang, Director Yang wants you to come over. Do you have time now?" Director Yang's secretary came to Section 3 and said politely.

"If I have time, Secretary Chen, please wait a moment, I'll be there soon." Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

"Okay." Secretary Chen agreed immediately with a very good attitude.

Yang Zhenyu tidied up his desk, then went to Director Yang's office with Secretary Chen.

"Did you see that? Secretary Chen has such a nice attitude. He is as good as our section chief." Chen Zhiming said in a low voice.

"That's right. Our section chief's two projects are going to earn foreign exchange. That requires a lot of talent. Even our factory director has to give him face." Qi Fangfang said.

"At first I thought there was no future in following a young guy. Who would have thought that our section chief is the most capable person in the factory? I think we should learn a few more skills. Maybe if we work hard we can pass the exam to become an engineer." Xin Xiangdong said.

"That makes sense. I've been thinking about it these past few days. Let's try hard to ask the section chief for advice. Maybe with his guidance, we might be able to pass the engineer exam. That way, we won't have to worry about our lives anymore." Qi Fangfang nodded.

"Think about it, the salary of an engineer is more than 100 yuan, which is much better than our current salary."

When talking about salary, all three of them became excited, as if they would receive their engineer's salary tomorrow.
