Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 46 Bonus
"Okay, I have finished designing the overall structure. Next we will integrate it and make a proportional model. Only by verifying it can we know whether it works or not." Yang Zhenyu nodded with satisfaction.

Yang Zhenyu was also very surprised at the fast progress of the three groups. Before the New Year, they had not yet reached the final stage.

"By the way, you guys wouldn't secretly work overtime during the New Year holidays, right?" Yang Zhenyu asked.

"Hehe, Chief, you guessed it. This is the first time I discovered that designing machines is such an interesting thing. It is much more interesting than studying in school." Chen Zhiming said.

"Yes, Chief. When we were in school, they always gave us machines from other countries and asked us to draw them or just look at them again and again. We designed very few things ourselves," said a technician.

"Okay, since you like it, after this project is completed, I will find a way to come up with another project so that you can draw as much as you want." Yang Zhenyu said.

"Since everything is almost done, let's not delay it. Draw the blueprint as soon as possible, and then make the dimensions according to the standards set before. The main structure on my side is almost done, and it will definitely be completed before the 15th." Yang Zhenyu said.

"it is good!"

A group of energetic young people immediately got down to work.

Although not every one of these people is talented in design, if they are willing to work hard, they are completely capable of serving as support players.

Following this question, everyone looked at Yang Zhenyu, curious whether he had this honor.

The office was in chaos. This award had been established for several years, but this was the first time I saw someone close to me win the award. Especially since it was reported, people all over the country could see it.
Soon, a newspaper was passed from one person to another before it reached Yang Zhenyu.

"What newspaper?" Yang Zhenyu asked curiously.

"Let me see……"

"Chief, can I meet Mr. Zhou during the award ceremony?"

"It's the People's Daily. It announced the list of winners of the Academy of Sciences' prize money this time. You won the second prize."

"Not that time." Yang Zhenyu shook his head and said.

"Chief, Chief, you're in the newspaper." As soon as he got to work the next day, a technician shouted while holding a newspaper.

However, Yang Zhenyu did not say that he had actually met Mr. Zhou, but it was at another time, and there were several other scientists together with his teacher.

"Okay, everyone, work hard. This is only the first public announcement. There will be two more rounds of announcements. If you are not careful, you may be eliminated." Yang Zhenyu said calmly.

“It’s nothing actually. I won the third prize once before. I have made some progress this time. I will try to win the first prize in the future.” Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

Perhaps stimulated by the news of Yang Zhenyu's award, everyone in the office was particularly motivated and had a very vigorous discussion on the drawings. The office suddenly became very lively, with each group discussing their own work.

Yang Zhenyu is very satisfied with this working state. When designing, he often needs an atmosphere, and Yang Zhenyu likes the current atmosphere very much.

At noon, as usual, Yang Zhenyu took a group of people from three departments to the cafeteria to eat, and He Yuzhu still served the food himself.

"Brother, I heard about today's newspaper, it's amazing." He Yuzhu said. "Well, this is only the first public announcement, there are two more to come, don't worry." Yang Zhenyu said indifferently.

"You are the first one in our compound to be on the newspaper. The whole street will be envious of you." He Yuzhu filled Yang Zhenyu's lunch box with vegetables and then took out two big steamed buns.

"This meal is on me today." He Yuzhu said.

"Master He, it's only our section chief who has it. We don't have any?" Qi Fangfang said jokingly from behind.

"Hey, girl, if you can win a prize, let alone a meal, I can cook a whole table for you." He Yuzhu said immediately with a smile.

"It's a deal then. If I win the prize, you can't cheat." Qi Fangfang is not afraid of He Yuzhu.

"Okay, I'm waiting." He Yuzhu said nonchalantly.

The reason why the people from the three departments were willing to eat with Yang Zhenyu was that as long as they followed Yang Zhenyu, He Yuzhu would definitely be the one serving the food, and he would definitely not upset the spoon. Moreover, there would definitely be more dishes and less soup, which was much more enjoyable than eating with soup as others did.

"Comrades workers, now I have a piece of great news to report. Comrade Yang Zhenyu of our factory has passed the preliminary review of the Academy of Sciences and has been announced in the People's Daily today. Comrade Yang Zhenyu is expected to win the second prize, with a prize of up to 2,000 yuan. Comrade Yang Zhenyu is in the position of the third technical department... I hope that all comrades will learn from Comrade Yang Zhenyu..."

"Comrade workers..."

Now it’s good. No need for everyone to know about it. This is a really big event in the factory. If someone reports it, there is a chance of winning an award, especially a bonus. Many people may not be able to save that much money in most of their lives. This makes the workers very envious.

"Master Yi, is this your eldest nephew?" An old master who was familiar with Yi Zhonghai asked Yi Zhonghai.

"Yes." Yi Zhonghai nodded with some pride, then took a bite of the steamed bun.

"Your family is going to get rich. How are you going to spend so much money?"

"That's right, Master Yi, shouldn't you show some respect?"

"Stop it, didn't you hear him say that this is just a public announcement? He hasn't really won the award yet. It's hard to say whether he can win the award at that time. Besides, this is Zhenyu's own hard work. What does it have to do with me?" Yi Zhonghai said with a sneer, but his smug expression betrayed him.

"Master Yi, no matter what, he is still your nephew. As his uncle, you should be proud of him."

"That's right. I never dared to think of this before. I didn't expect that there is a capable person right next to us."

The workers were all talking about it, not only because of the bonus issue, but also because of Yi Zhonghai's affairs. Everyone knew that he was an old loser, and although everyone respected his skills on weekdays, everyone had been making up stories behind his back.

But things are different now. Not only does his nephew have to take care of him in his old age, but he can also be featured in newspapers and receive awards from the state. This is even better than having his own son.

On the other hand, Zhou Qianqian also saw the report in the newspaper and learned that Yang Zhenyu was in the newspaper. She was in a daze the whole morning and giggled from time to time.
