Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 15 News
In fact, it was fortunate that Yang Zhenyu reminded them early. I don’t know who leaked the news from the factory that a branch factory was going to be built and a large number of workers were going to be recruited. Now this living area became lively. After all, who doesn’t have unemployed young people in their family?

"Brother, tell me, is our factory really going to build a branch?"

Before going out, He Yuzhu came up to Yang Zhenyu and asked about this matter in a low voice. No wonder he got up so early today.

"Yes, this news has spread throughout the factory, how could it be false? What's the matter, Brother Zhuzi? I'm afraid your chef won't let you go to the branch factory." Yang Zhenyu looked at He Yuzhu and said.

"Hey, what are you thinking? I didn't ask about it. It was Sister Qin next door who asked me to find out. Don't you think that when the government recruits workers, it would be better to give benefits to our own people than to outsiders, right?" He Yuzhu said in a low voice.

"As for this matter, don't talk about it outside. Our factory has just been settled and the factory area has not been built yet. If you keep asking about it, the leaders of the factory will know about it. You can think about it yourself." Yang Zhenyu said.

"Brothers are still kind-hearted. I won't ask about this matter. I'm just a cook, what can I know?" He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"That's right. I'm just an engineer. What can I know? Right?" Yang Zhenyu said to He Yuzhu with a wink.

"Haha, there probably won't be any reception at the factory today. Come to my room in the evening and we'll have a couple of drinks. My brother has been here for so long, and I, as his brother, have never entertained my brother before, so I have to entertain him today." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll go straight home after get off work." Yang Zhenyu nodded.

"Okay, drive slowly on the road." He Yuzhu said with a smile and waved his hand.

"Nothing. It's time to go to work. Why don't you go to work?" He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao and said.

"No problem. I'll make you some of my specialties and I guarantee you'll swallow your tongue." He Yuzhu said, patting his chest.

For three consecutive days, Yang Zhenyu and three technicians were assembling a fertilizer production machine. Because they had to assemble each component themselves, it took a lot of time. Fortunately, the assembly was completed in three days.

"I saw you two acting suspiciously here, so I wanted to ask you what you are doing?" Xu Damao said in a mean way.

"Hey, this brother is quite interesting." He Yuzhu said as he watched Yang Zhenyu riding away on his bike.

"I'm treating my brother to a drink tonight. What's the matter? Do I have to ask you for permission?" He Yuzhu said unhappily.

"Shazhu, Shazhu, what are you and Yang Zhenyu talking about here?" Xu Damao approached He Yuzhu and said.

"Hehe, then I'm taking advantage. Brother Zhuzi, I'm going to work first. Our three departments have a heavy workload today." Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

"Tsk, what good wine can you have? It's boring." Xu Damao curled his lips and pushed the cart away. He didn't believe what He Yuzhu said at all.

Then after applying for raw materials from the factory, you can start testing.

At present, the country's industrial base is still relatively poor, so this set of equipment is also equipped with carbon dioxide and liquid ammonia production equipment. The whole machine is not small.

Fortunately, the test was very successful, the urea production capacity was very good, and the superiors were very satisfied with the equipment. The rest was no longer Yang Zhenyu's business, and he needed to coordinate with his superiors. The pressure on his superiors was also very great to open two factories at once, and the production capacity of the two factories had to keep up, so a lot of workers would be needed. It was initially estimated that at least tens of thousands of people would be needed, plus the vacancies at the main factory, so it would not work without coordination.

As for Yang Zhenyu's new project, it has not yet been approved by his superiors and it also needs to be verified. This gives Yang Zhenyu and his team some time to take a break.

"Brother, you've been really busy these days. We agreed to have a drink together, but I couldn't find you." He Yuzhu complained.

"Well, isn't there a project? Our three departments have been busy for three days, and several of us are almost exhausted. Finally, it is completed. Didn't I come to find Brother Zhuzi as soon as it was completed?" Yang Zhenyu was also helpless. He had worked overtime for three consecutive days. What could he do?
"You kid still have some conscience. Let's go first." He Yuzhu said, holding up the wine glass.

"Come, let me toast to Brother Zhuzi." Yang Zhenyu also picked up the glass.

"Try your brother's cooking." He Yuzhu greeted Yang Zhenyu.

"When Yu Shui came back a while ago, I heard her say that she wanted to go to college?" He Yuzhu asked.

"I think she has that intention, but she still needs to work hard. She is only in the first year of high school, it's still early. If she studies hard, there should be no problem." Yang Zhenyu nodded.

"Yeah, I think so too. I'm just a cook, and I'm afraid that's all I'll be like in this life. But if this girl Yu Shui can go to college, it will bring honor to our He family." He Yuzhu nodded and said.

"However, my sister has never been good at studying. Those good students have all gone to technical secondary schools. Yu Shui is just average, and it was a bit of a stretch for her to go to high school. I was thinking that since you are a college graduate, if you have time, you can give her some extra lessons. It would be great if she can go to a technical secondary school."

"That's no problem. Yu Shui is a smart girl, she just likes to play a little. As long as she is willing to study hard, she will definitely be admitted to university and then come to our factory to work as a technician. I'm afraid you, as her brother, will have to rely on her then." Yang Zhenyu made a joke at the end.

"Well, she's my own sister, how can I not help her?" He Yuzhu laughed.

Yang Zhenyu could see that He Yuzhu had not yet been sucked dry by his brother at this time, and was still good to his sister. At least he was willing to spend money to send her to school.

You have to know that the phenomenon of favoring boys over girls is still very common these days. Generally, it is good enough for a family to let their daughter finish elementary school, so how can they support her to go to high school?

This phenomenon is more common in rural areas.

"Brother, come to think of it, I have a favor to ask of you." After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, He Yuzhu finally revealed his purpose.

"We are all brothers. There is no need to ask for help. As long as I can do it, there will be no objection." Yang Zhenyu said confidently.

"It's like this, the Jia family next door, Aunt Jia has a bit of a bad mouth, but the people of Dongxu are nice, and Sister Qin can get along well too. Now that the branch factory has opened, can you move around?" He Yuzhu said.

"Brother Zhuzi, it's not that I'm not giving you face. The things in this factory are not something I can have a say in. Besides, as you know, I just got here. If I get involved in some things, it will affect my future promotion. Besides, Jia Dongxu has said a lot of bad things about me in the factory. I think it's better to keep a distance from them." Yang Zhenyu said with a sullen face.

"Okay, your brother can't make things difficult for me. Just pretend I never said anything about this. We should do what we have to do. We can't ruin your future, right?" He Yuzhu said, raising his glass.
