Scholars in the courtyard

Chapter 1111 Skill Competition

After the meeting dispersed, Yang Xiaotao left the office and came to the R&D Department. Then he called Zhang Guanyu and several others, and went to the Finance Department together to withdraw all the rewards above. Then he went to the Logistics Office to move the rewards from the Machinery Factory to the R&D Department. .

Along the way, the faces of everyone following Yang Xiaotao were shining, and everyone they met around them had envious expressions on their faces after learning about the situation.

Especially when I look at the piles of blankets, cotton gloves, and hats, I really like them.

If you have such a suit, it will be popular if word spreads about it.

Following Yang Xiaotao back to the R&D Department, Yang Xiaotao began to distribute rewards.

The rewards from the First Machinery Department are only available to those who participated in the research, but the rewards from the Machinery Factory are available to all employees.

After the awarding was over, the third-class collective merit flag was also hung on the wall of the R&D Department.

In the office, Yang Xiaotao watched Lou Xiao'e playing with a pair of cotton gloves, with excitement on his face.

This time, as a member of the R&D department, Lou Xiaoe also benefited from the opportunity and was given a glove.

As a result, all that was left of Yang Xiaotao's outfit was a coat and a hat.

As for other pants, shoes, gloves, etc., they were all divided.

There is no way, a bowl of water is flat.

When Zhang Guanyu and others eat meat, others take on their part of the work, so they have to drink some soup.

"I also have a hat for you."

Seeing that she liked her so much, Yang Xiaotao handed the cotton hat he was given to Lou Xiao'e.

"Really? Thank you so much."

"Don't worry, if you want, you have to answer me a question."

Yang Xiaotao looked at Lou Xiao'e. Recently, this guy has been distracted. Based on his experience, he was very sure that this child was in love.

"You said."

Lou Xiao'e took the hat and put it on her head.

Her short shoulder-length hair was pushed down, revealing a small face.

"Have you been looking for someone recently?"

"I'm always in a daze. Isn't it because I miss my sweetheart?"

Yang Xiaotao asked carefully. Lou Xiao'e's face froze, then she took off her hat and threw it at Yang Xiaotao.

"Hey, I'm just asking, there's no need for it."

"Bah, a grown man is such a gossip, look at me."

Lou Xiao'e shouted, Yang Xiaotao had already run to the door.

"Okay, okay, I understand. I thought it was wrong, okay?"

Yang Xiaotao hurriedly went out and ran outside.

Lou Xiao'e walked aside, picked up the hat, and patted it twice.

However, I was thinking in my heart, could it be that I really have a 'sweetheart'?

But, that is
"No, we are just good sisters."

Lou Xiao'e made up her mind that some things must be done in moderation.

Department of Seven Machinery.

Mr. Wang sat on a chair, rubbing his temples from time to time.

The guard next to him brought tea and asked if he wanted to eat something.

As a result, Mr. Wang waved his hand and couldn't eat anything now.

"By the way, how is Director Tian doing now?"

"The director has gone home and is not here yet."

The guard said a few words and then left quickly.

They saw clearly what happened last night, and it spread quickly in the Seventh Machinery Department.

Many people know that my boss is a drunkard. Just like this, he took a few people to drink with others and got drunk.

What's more important is that after he finished drinking, he drove himself back.

The guards saw this ability and admired him.

"Oh! Damn, what's going on?"

Mr. Wang lamented that his wine reputation had been ruined by this kid for half his life.

Suddenly, the phone on the table rang. Mr. Wang rubbed his eyebrows and pointed at the table to pick up the phone.

"Old Huang, why are you calling so early?"

"What? How is it possible? How can I lie down and don't listen to their nonsense."

Mr. Wang's face turned red and he refused to admit it.

I scolded Yang Xiaotao in my heart, this guy has no shame at all.

"Um, what?"

Suddenly, the voice on the phone stopped Mr. Wang from complaining about Yang Xiaotao.

"If you want support, just support me. Why are you looking for me?"

"Steel Plant?"

"Speak clearly."

Wang Laodeng immediately became energetic.

After a while, Mr. Wang hung up the phone, his expression even more decadent.

"The stupid Huang Da Ya loves to show off and even made fun of me. Who got under the table drunk last time?"

"This situation will come back sooner or later."

After taking a sip of water, Mr. Wang thought about Mr. Huang's squeaky voice and slammed the enamel jar on the table. "Come here, let Director Ran do it."

In the machinery factory, when Yang Xiaotao came to the workshop, the loudspeaker rang.

The content of the broadcast was naturally about the R&D department receiving awards from superiors, especially third-class collective merit, which was no small honor.

There are only a handful of people in the entire First Machinery Department who can receive this honor, and it is also the first time for the machinery factory.

Yang Xiaotao took a look in the workshop and found that due to the lack of materials, the production of machine tools in the second workshop could only be said to be quite satisfactory.

If there is enough tungsten alloy, not to mention six Daystars, even sixteen can be made.

But now, we can only develop downstream machine tools to supplement basic industries.

Even so, it will take time for it to become popular.

In the workshop, I asked about the design of semi-automatic lathes. Since Zhang Guanyu was responsible for the design of the tractor, the matter was handed over to the team led by Chen Bin.

Now, we have a preliminary design idea, but it will take some time to take shape.

Yang Xiaotao didn't rush, there was enough time.

Then he went around to other workshops twice before returning to the office.

At this time, Lou Xiao'e had regained her composure, but the hats and gloves on the table were neatly arranged. Obviously, they belonged to her.

In the following days, Yang Xiaotao went to work as usual every day. After get off work, he went to Ran's house to see his two daughters. Sometimes he would have dinner at Ran's house when it was late.Ran's father returned to his original routine and did not come home until midnight.

Ran's mother was also helpless about this. She heard that the leader of the Seventh Machinery Department was very aggressive and wanted to achieve a technological breakthrough before the year. She didn't know what motivated her.

In this regard, Yang Xiaotao only felt that it was normal for the combined experiment to be successful.

It would be abnormal to not be able to do this desperate method like that of the Seven Machinery Department.

Sometimes Ran Qiuye would bring the Dragon Boat Festival back to see the children. At that time, it was the time for the family to go home and reunite.

It is also a time for the couple to resolve the pain of lovesickness.

Of course, the atmosphere in the machinery factory has become intense these days.

As the skills competition is approaching, factory applicants have already begun the preliminary selection process.

According to Yang Youning, the owner of the final interpretation right, anyone who signs up to participate in the conference needs to be confirmed by two people, one of whom must be his immediate superior.

Only such people are eligible to participate in the primary election.

The number of places for his direct superiors is limited, and it is impossible to guarantee everyone.

As a result, the huge participating team of the machinery factory was directly reduced by half.

The remaining people will have to go through the preliminary selection process, with directors or section chiefs in the corresponding field serving as preliminary evaluators. Only those who meet the requirements will enter the main competition and compete on the 31st.

Of course, the competition items are diverse.

After all, this is a skills competition, and it is impossible to limit the participating events.

In this way, there may be many people signing up for a project.

The best thing to say is to compete together and choose the top three.

As for some projects where there are only one or two people, then a panel of judges formed by the machinery factory will need to decide together whether this person's skills are considered a 'unique skill'. If so, they will pass the test naturally.

Then ranking rewards will be given based on the 'degree' of the unique skill.

Because this is the first martial arts competition of the machinery factory, the rewards announced by Yang Youning are very rich.

In the end, based on everyone's performance, an overall champion will be selected and awarded a mysterious grand prize.

Of course, whether you can get a reward depends on your luck.

If there is someone on the judging panel who doesn't like it, it will be difficult to give a score.

In other words, there will not be only one winner selected in the finals. There may be several or even a dozen winners, so everyone's enthusiasm is very exciting.

In the past few days, Yang Xiaotao has also been invited to participate in the preliminary assessment of workshop workers several times.

We also found a lot of people with unique skills. Among them was a master blacksmith who was proficient in steel plate engraving. If it weren't for the generous rewards this time, he wouldn't have participated.

If Yang Xiaotao encounters such a talent, he will naturally not let him go.

Just like Lao Guo before, with his iron plate carving skills, he has now gone abroad with the Friendship Pot. Now he has two apprentices in the machinery factory. For this, the machinery factory followed the instructions submitted by Yang Xiaotao. Giving certain rewards to apprentices made Lao Guo more confident in leading apprentices.

In addition, there are also people participating in speed competitions.

The competition is to see how many parts can be made within 10 minutes. The one with the most wins.

For example, the time to install the machine tool, the time to install the engine, and even the time to assemble the tractor.

These are all participating in the conference in the name of the team. Anyway, the projects are diverse.

This thing is the most important skill for postgraduate candidates. Not only must it ensure speed, but it must also not make mistakes, because making mistakes means failure.

The Machinery Factory is like this, and so are its other subsidiaries.

Chemical plants, steel plants, etc. are looking for "capable people" who can represent the plants in the conference.

In this cheerful and expectant atmosphere, time passed day by day.

Soon, December NO.30 came.

When I woke up in the morning, the sky turned white and the sunlight became soft.

Thin and dense snowflakes were falling quietly all around. Looking around, they were white and falling on the ground.

The air is filled with a fresh smell, and everything seems to be quieter and more peaceful than usual.

Yang Xiaotao stepped on the snow and waved to Ran Qiuye in the room, "Close the windows, it's cold outside."

Ran Qiuye nodded.

New Year's Day is approaching and schools are on holiday.

Ran Qiuye came back by bike yesterday and took the child home at night.

After leaving the courtyard, Yang Xiaotao went out alone.

Looking up at the sky, I saw a deep blue, which formed a strong contrast with the white surroundings.

"I don't know when the old Taoist will come back."

Counting the time, it was almost a week since Lao Dao left. In order to go home to 'treasure hunt', Yang Xiaotao not only gave him a holiday, but also 'blackmailed' a lot of things.

Then, accompanied by Wang Hao and Xiao Wang of the team, they took the certificate from the machinery factory and drove to Jinzhong.

"I hope everything goes well."

The car started, leaving two dents on the snow-white road, which then extended to the machine shop.

After crunching all the way to the office, Yang Xiaotao just took off his gloves when he saw Yang Youning running in a hurry.

"Xiao Yang, come with me to find Lao Liu."

Yang Xiaotao took off his coat and hung it behind the door, "Why are you so anxious?"

"It's not tomorrow yet."

"Tomorrow? Skills Competition? What happened?"

Yang Youning walked to Liu Huaimin's office, followed by Yang Xiaotao.

"Our factory held a technical conference. After Mr. Huang heard about it, he also asked other factories to participate."

"Well, that's a good thing."

"It's a good thing, but now we have to send people from the Third Machinery Department and the Logistics Department to discuss and exchange ideas."

Yang Youning said that he had already entered Liu Huaimin's office, and the two sat down.

"That's what happened. Only people from the Third Machinery Department and the Logistics Department have received news. As for whether anyone else will participate, it's hard to say."

After Liu Huaimin finished speaking, the three of them lit cigarettes.

"What does Mr. Huang and Mr. Xia mean?"

Yang Xiaotao asked.

"Old Huang's meaning is very direct. Everyone is welcome, but Datou must stay."

"It means that we are the protagonists and cannot be usurped by the guest."

Yang Youning explained, but Yang Xiaotao frowned.

Who knows whether the people coming here are dragons or insects? They are the elites of one department. Their machinery factory is at best a local elite. This gap is not 01:30.

Unless, it depends on the referee
Yang Xiaotao wanted to speak, but he heard Liu Huaimin say seriously, "The reason why Mr. Huang, Mr. Xia and others made such a request is that besides the fact that we are hosting this conference, there is another reason."

"what reason."

Liu Huaimin looked at Yang Youning, then looked at Yang Xiaotao, and then said word by word, "According to reliable information, there are likely to be leaders coming to watch this conference."
