Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

On Tuesday morning, Jiang Chen saw Lei Jie waiting at the door from a distance.

Lei Jie ran over in a few steps: "Brother Chen, do you think my body is okay?"

Jiang Chen took a glance and said, "It's okay. I'll be more energetic later. Stand like a pine tree and sit like a clock. Don't be too casual."

"The Security Department is not an ordinary department."

Lei Jie nodded; "I know."

Jiang Chen said: "Follow me!"

He took Lei Jie straight to the office of the security section chief: "Is Chief Qi here?"

Qi Fei waved his hand: "Here you are, Xiao Jiang. Do you have anything to do with me?"

Jiang Chen brought Lei Jie into the office: "Didn't Section Chief Qi say that the security department is short of people? This brother of mine is practical and diligent, so I will bring him for you to review."

Qi Fei glanced at Lei Jie: "Why does this little brother look familiar to me?"

Lei Jie stared at Qi Fei for a long time and suddenly said: "It seems that my father and I went to decorate your house."

Qi Fei slapped his thigh: "Yes, yes, your father is Uncle Lei, right?"

Lei Jie nodded: "As you said, my father is Uncle Lei, and my name is Lei Jie."

Qi Fei nodded: "I know, it's Lei Jie who is nimble in handling and talking about things. Why, why did you come to me if you didn't inherit your craftsmanship?"

Lei Jie smiled: "That industry is not very prosperous now, and I also want to find a stable job."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Since you two know each other, that's even better. Chief Qi, what do you think of him?"

Qi Fei smiled and said, "It's not a big problem. By the way, are you literate?"

Lei Jie nodded: "I went to junior high school, but I am not good at studying. I failed to pass the high school and technical secondary schools."

Qi Fei said: "It's not an engineering major. Junior high school education is more than enough."

"Welcome to join No.3 Steel Factory, Comrade Lei Jie."

Lei Jie said: "Please take care of me, Section Chief Qi, in the future."

Jiang Chen said: "Is it settled so quickly?"

Qi Fei said: "The Human Resources Department will conduct a routine investigation later. If the ingredients are innocent, there will be no problem."

The Human Resources Department is Wenwan's territory, so Jiang Chen is not worried.

Then he stood up and said, "Okay, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

In fact, Jiang Chen didn't have anything more urgent than waiting for the Ministry of Industry to approve the machine tool research and development project application.

The wait has to wait until Thursday, November 11th.

After waiting for three days, No. 3 Steel Plant finally received the consent letter for the machine tool development project from the Ministry of Industry.

The consent form was delivered personally by Vice Minister Zhou.

Also coming with him was Director Qian Cheng.

There is another person that no one has ever seen.

A group of people arrived, and Jiang Chen was immediately called to the factory director's office.

Vice Minister Zhou glanced around: "Everyone is here, then I will start to make the announcement."

“After discussion at the meeting of the Ministry of Industry, the application for the machine tool research and development project of the third rolling mill was approved, and the project was regarded as a key project of the Ministry of Industry’s second five-year plan and given key support.”

"The Ministry of Industry will send Comrade Qin Kai, an expert with profound experience in machine tool research and development, to participate in the research and development work."

"Congratulations to everyone for getting your wish and the key project has been settled in the third steel rolling mill."

Qin Kai is the person who came with Vice Minister Zhou. He looks like he is in his 30s.

After hearing Vice Minister Zhou's introduction, he just nodded lightly to everyone without any expression.

Yang Weimin rubbed his hands excitedly: "Thank you to Vice Minister Zhou for your support. Our No. 3 Steel Plant will live up to expectations and do its best to protect Comrade Xiao Jiang's machine tool research and development project."

Tao Yuan also said: "With the participation of our disciple Comrade Qin Kai, we are more certain of victory."

Jiang Chen was stunned. Is this Qin Kai the apprentice of Vice Minister Zhou?

No wonder Yang Weimin emphasized from the beginning that this project was his.

Qian Cheng said: “Everyone at the meeting agreed to establish the project, but basically they did not agree to locate the third rolling mill.”

"Thanks to Vice Minister Zhou's persistence, we have overcome all objections and settled the project in your place."

Vice Minister Zhou waved his hand: "Don't talk about it. Now that the project has been approved and settled in your No. 3 Steel Plant, you have to give me a fight and give me a good result."

"Otherwise, if something happens and I insist on having my own way during the meeting, someone will catch me."

Jiang Chen said: "Thank you, Vice Minister Zhou, for your support. Don't worry, I won't let you down."

Vice Minister Zhou said: "Now the No. 3 Steel Plant will immediately set up a special project team, and then report the list to me. Once the results are produced, only the members on the list will be rewarded."

"You can't do it first and then tell it later like last time. When the results are out, you can only give me the list when you want to reward me."

Yang Weimin laughed loudly: "The main reason is that last time it was Jiang Chen's first time to take the lead in a project. Everyone wanted to see the results first, so they were not fully prepared."

Vice Minister Zhou said: "By the way, Lao Yang and Lao Tao, you all contributed to the establishment of the training system. Everyone else has received awards, but you two have not. Do you have any opinions?"

Yang Weimin smiled and said: "How can it be!"

Tao Yuandao: "It is our honor to contribute to the development of the flower planting industry, and there are rewards for that."

Yang Weimin added: "Comrade Wen Wan also worked hard. She recruited all the training specialists one by one."

Vice Minister Zhou said: "Old Tao is indeed a politician, he is really good at talking."

"By the way, the Ministry of Industry attaches great importance to this project. The leadership team of No. 3 Steel Plant can serve as a good example and take the lead and do a good job in supporting various tasks."

Yang Weimin said: "That's necessary. This time it's the same as last time. Xiao Jiang serves as the leader of the machine tool research and development project team, and several of our main leadership teams serve as deputy leaders."

"As long as Xiao Jiang gives the order, we will definitely make preparations."

Qin Kai frowned slightly, but did not speak.

Vice Minister Zhou said: "Good guy, have you arranged everything now? Originally, an old guy like me wanted to take a position in this team!"

The expressions of several people changed.

If Vice Minister Zhou really joins the group, the group leader can only be him.

This is what Jiang Chen doesn't want to see.

What bothers him the most is others telling him what to do.

The reason why he likes the No. 3 Steel Plant is that the leaders are very open-minded and do not interfere in the work easily, allowing him to do what he wants.

Vice Minister Zhou laughed: "You're just kidding, I have so many things to do, how can I have time to come to your group?"

"Okay, as you said, Xiao Jiang will take the lead, and you team members will cooperate very well."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in unison.

Vice Minister Zhou suddenly said to Yang Weimin: "Old Yang and Old Tao, do you dare to take a gamble with me?"

Yang Weimin was stunned: "What are you betting on?"

Vice Minister Zhou said: "If you get good results in this machine tool research and development work, I will directly give you a promotion."

"If you can't produce results, then the last reward will be wiped out."

Jiang Chen was stunned, could he still play like this?

Isn't it a bit too childish?

Yang Weimin was startled: "Let me be clear, this is a level increase, is it a small level or a large level?"

Vice Minister Zhou pointed at Yang Weimin and said, "Old Yang, you are too realistic."

"One senior level, from director to director."

在30级的行政级别中，15-13级为处级副处级，12级到9级为司局级、厅级。

Yang Weimin slapped his thigh: "Done!"

"Old Tao, what about you?"

Tao Yuan smiled and said: "You have agreed, how can I not risk my life to accompany you?"

Vice Minister Zhou said: "It seems that you have great confidence in Xiao Jiang! Okay, this matter is settled."

Jiang Chen suddenly interrupted: "Mr. Zhou, is the No. 3 Steel Plant going to be upgraded to a department-level unit?"

Yang Weimin and Tao Yuan were stunned and looked at Vice Minister Zhou with a strange look.

When the No. 3 Steel Factory was promoted to department level, he would automatically become a department-level cadre.

The co-author, Vice Minister Zhou, was making a bet and working on a project. He was just trying to fool the two of them.

Vice Minister Zhou said angrily: "You little bastard, what are you talking about? You are the only one who is smart."

Yang Weimin took a deep breath to calm down the excitement in his heart: "Really, really promoted?"

Vice Minister Zhou nodded: "The No. 3 Steel Plant now has a scale of nearly 10,000 people, but it is still unreasonable at the elementary level."

"But we can't be promoted to the department level just based on the number of people. We have to get some convincing results, right?"

"Your production capacity advantage has not yet been demonstrated, so this machine tool research project and the establishment of the previous training system are opportunities for upgrading."

Yang Weimin said: "Now the training department is doing its best to train new workers. When the new workers take up the job, the production capacity will inevitably usher in a big explosion."

"As long as there is enough qualified steel by then, our production capacity will never be low."

Tao Yuan glared at Yang Weimin fiercely. If you don't know how to speak, don't talk nonsense. If you don't open the pot, pick it up.

Vice Minister Zhou's face instantly turned a little ugly.

Qualified, steel.

As the boss of the Ministry of Industry, he has received relevant information. This year's steel production has increased, but the quality qualification rate is frighteningly low.

After a while, Vice Minister Zhou stood up and said, "The Ministry of Industry has something to do. I'll leave first."

"Qin Kai, follow Jiang Chen well. Although he is young, he has a quick mind and solid basic skills. You can learn a lot from him."

Qin Kai replied calmly: "Okay!"
