Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 25 Change
(Chapter 25 has entered the palace and has been merged with Chapter 26 into one large chapter)
"Chief Yang, can you tell me something? With your current level, what level can you pass?" Director Yang couldn't help but ask this question.

"Ok?"

Yang Zhenyu didn't expect Director Yang to ask this question.

"In theory, level five shouldn't be a problem. However, my teacher thinks I'm still too young and lack practical experience, so he asked me to work for two years before considering further promotion." Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

"So that's how it is." Director Yang nodded, feeling very excited.

For a steel rolling mill, although a level 5 engineer cannot be the chief engineer, he can definitely be the deputy chief engineer. Moreover, in the Ministry of Metallurgy, a level 5 engineer is definitely a powerful person.

"Chief Yang, just focus on your work. Just tell me if you need anything. I will definitely satisfy any problem that the factory can solve. As for any problem that the factory cannot solve, I will solve it for you even if I have to sacrifice my reputation." Director Yang said very seriously.

"Thank you very much, director."

With Director Yang's guarantee, Yang Zhenyu smiled.

Director Yang has his shortcomings, but overall he is a good person. In particular, he is very persistent about the factory and he hopes that the factory will do well.

This is also why Yang Zhenyu is so anxious to graduate and produce agriculture-related equipment, mainly to increase production and reduce pressure, reduce farmers' labor intensity, and increase farmland output.

"Well, the higher-ups still attach great importance to increasing production, especially now that the famine is still spreading and life in the rural areas is not easy." Director Yang said with a heavy voice.

"Haha, I understand what you mean. But the higher-ups won't approve our production. After all, there are still many tractor factories, and they are all trying to research tractors." Director Yang said with a smile.

I made the purchase with the factory director's approval and got a batch of scrapped six-point tubes at a relatively low internal price.

"Well, there's no rush. The construction of our new branch has just begun. In addition, there is a fertilizer production equipment that needs to be verified and put into production. Our factory will be serving the two new factories for the next year. As for the new project, I'm afraid it will need to be postponed." Director Yang said.

After leaving Director Yang, Yang Zhenyu did not go back to the office directly, but went to the Finance Department.

"Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything and let's focus on these projects for now." Yang Zhenyu shrugged.

"By the way, Director, I have another idea. Do you think our factory can apply to build an agricultural tractor factory?"

And now that I'm working in a factory, my job is also guaranteed.

"Tell me what you think?" Director Yang was very curious about this.

This is also the reason why his project was approved so quickly, because his superiors also wanted to increase production.

"Recently, the main work of our three departments is the drilling machine project and the water pump project. These two projects are not difficult, they just take time to complete the design. I estimate that the drawings should be ready before the end of the year. After the approval from the superiors, trial production will take place after the new year." Yang Zhenyu felt it necessary to tell Director Yang about the work situation to avoid gossip.

"Agricultural machinery is in serious shortage in our country. Most of the rural areas in our country now don't even use tractors, let alone see them. However, a tractor can play many roles in rural areas, whether it is for transportation or traveling. Tractors are very practical in rural areas." Yang Zhenyu said.

"A tractor is actually a kind of agricultural machinery. I think our agricultural machinery factory still has the conditions to produce tractors." Yang Zhenyu said with a blink of his eyes.

Yang Zhenyu naturally knew about the three difficult years, but he had been studying in school and had good support in all aspects.

However, in the vast rural areas...

"This is indeed a reality. However, it is unlikely that we will be approved to build a tractor factory. It would be quite good enough if we could be approved to build an agricultural machinery factory," said Director Yang, shaking his head.

"I estimate that after the samples are made next year, our superiors will speed up the progress. After all, these projects are all related to agricultural production, and they are things that our country urgently needs, so there is a great possibility that they will be accelerated," said Yang Zhenyu.

"Well, these current projects have actually put a lot of pressure on our factory. I estimate that by then there will be a big gap at the main factory, and I'm afraid the main factory will have to add workers by then. However, this is a matter for the future," said Director Yang.

This idea suddenly flashed through Yang Zhenyu's mind. He had never thought about this issue before.

Yang Zhenyu also understood that there was a lot of pressure in the factory and from his superiors, but time waited for no one.

The pipes were sent to his special workshop, where he could weld them when he got off work.

For three consecutive days, Yang Zhenyu worked overtime to weld a simple heater. Mainly, he had to make all the interfaces himself, which was not a difficult task for him who had locksmith skills.

For Yang Zhenyu, the work in the factory is no longer difficult. It is more about spending time to complete various designs.

With the help of Chen Zhiming and a few others, a lot of time will be saved.

"Chief Sun, I'm taking two water jackets out. Here's the approval note from the factory director, the receipt from the accountant, and the delivery note from the logistics department. Take a look."

Yang Zhenyu took a few bills and went straight to the security chief Sun Dazhi.

This thing must be done openly, otherwise, there will be who knows what troubles will arise later.

"Well, Chief Yang, look at what you said. How could I not trust you? There is definitely no problem with this." Sun Dazhi waved his hands and said.

"I know Section Chief Sun trusts me, but we have to do our job well. We can't make things difficult for you, Section Chief Sun, right?" Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

"Another thing is that our compound is in a mess. If we don't deal with it properly, who knows when someone will dare to report it to the police station. Then it will be difficult for you and it will be troublesome for me too, right?" Yang Zhenyu whispered in Sun Dazhi's ear.

"So that's how it is. That's what I said. There's no need to make such a big fuss about such a small matter." Sun Dazhi immediately understood what Yang Zhenyu meant. He was afraid that someone would be jealous.

"Hey, Xiao Wu and Lao Zhang, come here and help our Section Chief Yang verify this." Sun Dazhi was also a smart man, and he immediately called two people over to witness this incident.

"Chief, there is nothing to verify about Chief Yang's stuff. There is definitely no problem with it." The two people said with a smile.

"Just verify it when I tell you to. Be careful and don't let Section Chief Yang damage it." Sun Dazhi said with a straight face.

The two of them immediately understood what Sun Dazhi meant.

This was not directed at Yang Zhenyu, but rather the two section chiefs had reached some kind of tacit understanding.

So there must be no problem with these things, so check them carefully. After the check, you have to register them to make it convenient for someone to come and check in the future.

"There's no problem. We've already registered it. Chief Yang, what is this? It looks weird." Xiao Wu said.

"This is a water jacket, which is a simple version of a heater. It's winter now, and I was worried that my aunt would get cold, so I thought of making this to keep them warm." Yang Zhenyu explained.

"Awesome, he's an engineer after all, really awesome!" Even Sun Dazhi couldn't help but praise him.

There is more than one engineer in the factory, but Yang Zhenyu is the only one who came up with such a set of things. No matter whether it is useful or not, it is incomparable to others. "Well, there is no other way. It's cold this day, and my aunt and her family are old. It's time to enjoy their lives." Yang Zhenyu waved his hand and said.

"You are this!" Sun Dazhi gave a thumbs up.

"Okay, let's stop chatting. I'm leaving first. My aunt is waiting for me to go back for dinner." Yang Zhenyu said goodbye and left.

"Chief, Chief Yang is really amazing, and I think he is very filial. He is really a great guy." Lao Zhang said.

"Well, it's really amazing. There's nothing wrong with him as a person. The most important thing is that he is filial." Sun Dazhi nodded.

"Okay, stop watching. They are giving us face, so we can't lose face, right?" Sun Dazhi said with a smile.

"Chief, should we investigate more closely?"

"Stop talking nonsense. It's time to get off work. Cheer up." Sun Dazhi glared at Xiao Wu and said.

"Zhenyu, what are you doing?"

An old lady who had been waiting there for a long time was puzzled as to why Yang Zhenyu brought so many things over after get off work.

"It's winter now, and I thought the weather would get cold, so I made two water jackets. One for your room and one for mine. It just so happens that the factory approved some coal briquette tickets for me, so we should have no problem getting through the winter." Yang Zhenyu said as he parked the car.

These things definitely cannot be left in the yard.

Yang Zhenyu opened the door of the east wing and unloaded the things into the wing. Anyway, the house was quite big and there was enough space to put these things.

"what's that?"

The aunt didn't quite understand. After all, heating was not popular at that time and it was only circulated in a small circle.

"Don't worry about it. Just wait patiently. I'll do it later when I have time to rest." Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

This thing is still relatively rare for ordinary people in this era.

Yang Zhenyu felt that it was too troublesome to explain, so he simply didn't explain it. You will understand the benefits after using it.

"Okay, then I won't care about it. Now that our Zhenyu has become successful, an old woman like me won't get involved." The aunt said with a pout, feeling very uncomfortable.

This is how the old mother sees her children. When she sees that her children can't use her, she feels both gratified and lost.

"Hey, aunt, let me tell you, Director Yang gave me a lot of coal briquettes tickets before. We will definitely have enough coal briquettes this winter. Just burn them with confidence this year to keep our home warm." Yang Zhenyu said.

"After all, they are cadres, so the treatment is indeed different." said an old lady with a sigh.

"Of course, otherwise why would people study so hard? Isn't it to make a name for themselves? I have also endured so many years to get to where I am today." Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

Yang Zhenyu felt that this was very reasonable and that knowledge could really change a person's destiny.

If he hadn't traveled through time and space to study hard, and if the system hadn't been turned on, he would probably have spent his entire life in the village, facing the dirt.

But now all this has changed thanks to the system and knowledge, making him a cadre.

This was a treatment I had never received in my previous life. After all, I had struggled for half my life but had never been able to pass the civil service exam and ended up only being able to join a Fortune 500 company.

"What you said makes sense. Didn't the scholars in the old society work hard to pass the imperial examinations? With my Zhenyu's ability, he would have definitely become a juren in the old society." The aunt said with a smile.

"No, we are the working people, and in the final analysis, we are the proletariat." Yang Zhenyu said quickly. It is not fashionable to say those things these days.

Although the wind hasn't started yet, I can't just say this casually. If it gets out, something bad will happen.

"I understand." The aunt immediately understood what Yang Zhenyu meant and nodded.

Although people like Auntie may not have much education, as intelligence personnel in the film, they are still very perceptive and know what to do and when.

"I'll modify our stove over the weekend, otherwise these things won't be usable." After Yang Zhenyu unloaded the things, he locked the door.

"Okay, just make the arrangements, but when will your furniture be shipped?" asked an aunt.

"There's no rush. The things have already arrived home and they can't run away. But the water jacket needs to be returned as soon as possible. The weather is getting colder and colder. If it snows again, it will be unbearable." Yang Zhenyu said.

"What's the big deal? Didn't we all get through it this way? When we were in the countryside, it was even colder and we didn't want to burn coal, but we still managed to get through it, didn't we?" said an aunt.

"How can they be the same? We didn't have the conditions before, but now we have the conditions, right? It should be better, so it should be better," said Yang Zhenyu.

"I can't argue with you!" The aunt finally compromised.

Not long after, Yi Zhonghai returned home. He could be said to be in high spirits.

Ever since Yang Zhenyu came, all the worries have been solved and life has become prosperous.

Especially now that the factory is planning to build a branch, everyone knows that it is Yang Zhenyu's credit.

So the people around Yi Zhonghai would say nice things to him from time to time. Although they would not flatter him, they would still say something nice. After all, everyone would carry the beautiful sedan chair.

"His aunt, please give him some meat tomorrow. You see Zhenyu is so thin, he needs to be nourished. Although he won't grow taller, eating more meat will make him stronger and more popular with girls." Yi Zhonghai said while eating.

"No, who wants to eat meat all the time? We are not capitalists. It's good enough to have eggs every day. This life is much better than before." Yang Zhenyu quickly refused.

How could one eat meat every day these days? Even though one earned a lot and meat was not expensive, one did not have that many tickets.

You know, this is a year of great disaster and everything is in short supply.

Not to mention anything else, it’s difficult even for steel mills to get meat nowadays.

Especially this year, there is less meat in stews.

If Yang Zhenyu was not familiar with the master chef He Yuzhu, it would be impossible for the dishes he ordered to have more meat than others.
