Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 31 Revenge
"Brother, I also want to ask you something. We have built a branch factory now. What do you think should be done with the publicity department of this branch factory?" Xu Damao said.

"I really don't know about this. As you know, I don't take care of these things in the factory, and I don't participate in these things on weekdays. I am only responsible for the technical part." Yang Zhenyu shook his head and said.

"That's right, that's right. I know you are only in charge of technology, but you are a section chief after all. You must be more informed about the news than us." Xu Damao said.

"Well, I have heard some rumors that the Propaganda Department over there will be simply equipped. After all, a lot of things are at the main factory, so there is no need to equip them so fully. I guess at most there will be departments like the radio station, the Propaganda Office, and the Ideological and Political Office. I guess there will be no departments like screening because there is no need for that. After all, the main factory can provide support. What do you think, Brother Damao?" Yang Zhenyu said after a moment of hesitation.

"Well, what ideas can I have? I know that this branch factory doesn't have a projection room. A colleague from our Propaganda Department wanted to inquire about it, so I helped to ask." Xu Damao shook his head repeatedly.

"No, Brother Damao, someone asked you to find out something, and you are also asked to give up anything for it?" Yang Zhenyu asked curiously.

"Well, is our buddy the kind of person who would suffer a loss?" Xu Damao said with an awkward cough.

"Lesbian?" Yang Zhenyu asked.

"Well, although he is just a clerk, he is also a cadre. Can you help me see if there is any chance if he goes to the branch factory?" Xu Damao nodded.

"What's your educational background? How old are you?" Yang Zhenyu said after a moment of silence.

"That's right." Yang Zhenyu laughed.

Xu Damao's words also confirmed Yang Zhenyu's guess, but Yang Zhenyu did not point it out. Anyway, this kind of thing had nothing to do with him.

"Don't worry, you have to believe Zhenyu. Although Xu Damao is not a good person, he can't deceive Zhenyu. After all, you know what Zhenyu's conditions were when he was a child." said an aunt.

This Xu Damao is quite clear-headed and knows what to do and when. He is much better than some of the idiots in the compound.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Xu Damao is very smart. I'm just afraid Zhenyu will be cheated by him." Yi Zhonghai said with some concern.

"This Xu Damao is really something. Our Zhenyu just drank with Sha Zhu yesterday, and now he dragged Zhenyu over again today. Isn't this cheating?" An aunt said unhappily, because Yang Zhenyu hadn't come to eat dinner for two nights.

"However, I think it would be good to be a deputy director. I think there are many people eyeing the positions over there." Yang Zhenyu said.

"Of course, I'm just trying to find out the situation. That's already showing my understanding of the situation." Xu Damao was also a sensible man and did not offer to help with the operations.

"I'm 33 and I went to junior high school," said Xu Damao.

The reason for her silence was that Yang Zhenyu remembered Xu Damao's hobby. Maybe Xu Damao had taken advantage of this woman.

"At this age, she can still function, but I don't care about those things. Let her figure it out on her own. However, I think that's the end of her career as a propaganda director," said Yang Zhenyu.

"Then I don't care. I just want to find out the news. As for how they operate, it has nothing to do with me, don't you think?" Xu Damao said indifferently.

"Well, being a cadre is troublesome. I don't see anyone all day. Fortunately, Zhenyu is the head of the technical department. If he was the factory director, I'm afraid he wouldn't have time to go home."

Yi Zhonghai thought about Yang Zhenyu's experience and felt that what the aunt said made sense. Having grown up in the village facing such an environment, if he was stupid, he would have died outside long ago. After all, death was very normal in those days.

"Alas, I'm afraid Zhenyu will have less and less time to eat at home in the future." Auntie sighed. "There's nothing we can do about it. Our Zhenyu is too good, and we're both old, so there's not much we can do to help." Yi Zhonghai was helpless.

Although it is a pity that they cannot always be by his side, the higher Yang Zhenyu's achievements, the less they will have to worry about their retirement. Why?

As Yang Zhenyu achieves more, he will earn more, and his retirement will surely be glorious.

Yang Zhenyu didn't know what the old couple was thinking. He just knew that he drank a little too much, so he went home, washed up simply, and went to sleep.

The next day, as soon as he got to work, Yang Zhenyu received a notice and immediately went to the conference room for a meeting.

There were only three technical departments attending the meeting, and the only factory leaders were Director Yang and Director Wang. It was obvious that this must be a small meeting.

It is said that small meetings mean big things, and big meetings mean small things. The fewer people participate in a meeting, the more importance it holds.

"We're all here. Time is running out, so let's be brief." Director Yang said directly.

"Our superiors have assigned our steel rolling mill a task to produce seamless steel pipes. Currently, our mill's machines are unable to produce seamless steel pipes. You are all responsible for technology, so please tell us what you think." Director Yang said.

The other two section chiefs did not speak, and as a newcomer, Yang Zhenyu was even less likely to speak up.

The scene became very strange for a while.

"You can speak freely about your ideas and don't hide them." Director Wang, who is in charge of production, said.

Yang Zhenyu still didn't speak. He was waiting for the other two to speak. At the same time, he also heard that Director Wang was giving the two section chiefs a way out.

Yang Zhenyu had not forgotten the warning he had just received, so he was even more speechless at this time.

"Chief Yang, you are an expert in this field, what do you think?" Director Wang turned the conversation to Yang Zhenyu.

"Two leaders, as you know, I'm new here. Right now I'd like to hear the opinions of my seniors. It's always good to learn more." Yang Zhenyu said with a serious expression, as if he really thought so.

When Director Yang saw Yang Zhenyu's performance, his heart was filled with joy. He knew that Yang Zhenyu did it on purpose, but this was also what he wanted.

You have to know that among the three technical departments in the factory, except for Yang Zhenyu, who he spent a lot of effort to get back and is considered half of his people, the other two technical departments are all Director Wang's people. Most of the time, as the factory director, he has to please others.

This was also the reason why he had promised Yang Zhenyu to set up a technical department in the branch factory.

His purpose was to take complete control of the power. After all, as a factory director, he didn't want to be controlled by others.

But Director Wang is different. His face is as black as the bottom of a pot.

He also knew in his heart that this was revenge, because his men wanted to give the other party a warning from the beginning.

What happened is that not only did they lose a workshop director, but they also offended such a technical giant. Isn't this revenge?
