Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

Just after the meeting, Xiao Yang ran in with a large stack of newspapers:

"Director Jiang, this is the newspaper that Director Yang asked me to buy for everyone. He invites everyone to read the newspaper."

"We have bought all the newspapers nearby, but the quantity is still a bit small. I can only give you two copies."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

Xiao Yang smiled and said, "Director Jiang, you're welcome."

Jiang Chen took out a pack of Huazi and handed it over: "Come on, come on, this is a big happy event, you must accept this box of wedding cigarettes."

If something happens on weekdays, Xiao Yang is always helpful, and Jiang Chen also has to express his gratitude.

Xiao Yang hesitated for a moment and finally accepted it.

He didn't dare to accept other people's things, but he could accept Jiang Chen's.

After accepting it, he said: "Director Jiang, I have to go to each workshop to distribute newspapers, so I will leave first."

Jiang Chen said: "Okay, go ahead, thank you!"

After Xiao Yang left, Cao Jun came up with a smile and said: "What Xiyan, have you and Liu Yue decided on a good life?"

"Then you have to give me one of these happy cigarettes."

Liu Yue was also a little dazed. She didn't know why Jiang Chen suddenly became happy. Could it be that what he said last night had stimulated him?

Luo Xue looked at Jiang Chen and then at Liu Yue, frowning slightly.

Jiang Chen put the newspaper on the table behind him, then took out his cigarettes and scattered them in a circle: "They are all there, they are all there, I have cigarettes."

Everyone clicked on it and said, "Congratulations, congratulations! Sister-in-law, congratulations!"

"Congratulations to both of you on your early births."

Jiang Chen quickly stopped: "Stop, this is not a happy event for Liu Yue and I, but a happy event for all of us."

After speaking, he took out the newspaper: "Cao Jun, read the headlines for everyone."

"Ah? It's a happy event for all of us, what happy event can we have?" Cao Jun was stunned, but he still took the newspaper and subconsciously read the headline on the front page:

"Sangang Machine Tool - the most advanced machine tool in the world."

In just a moment, the language changed from plainness to surprise and disbelief.

Cao Jun suddenly reacted: "Are we in the newspaper, or are we on the front page of National Daily?"

"Yes, that's right, look at the photo of our machine tool in the middle!"

Everyone gathered around in an uproar:

"I'll see, I'll see!"

"Wow, it's true. Look at the title, how big it is, and how beautiful the characters are."

"Look below, there is a list of R&D team members, and my name is in it."

"There's mine too, I'll report it too!"

"I mean, why did the Security Department bring people to take pictures yesterday? The co-author is National Daily."

Everyone was as happy and excited as when the machine tool was successfully developed.

It was reported to the newspaper and made the front page of National Daily, which was a great honor for them.

From today on, even if they point their noses at people, no one will have any objections.

Among them, Zhao Dongsheng had the biggest reaction.

Tears were already sliding down his chubby cheeks.

As an old man in the factory, he experienced the most frustrating period in the engineering department before, and also experienced the helplessness of wanting to do something but having nowhere to start.

Moreover, because of his body shape, he became the object of ridicule.

Especially the workers, even in front of him, did not restrain themselves at all.

He once thought that he would spend the rest of his life living in the shadows.

Jiang Chen's arrival changed everything.

At least now when walking on the road, everyone will look at him like a normal person.

Many workers will even say hello in a friendly way.

Now that this newspaper has come out, he can imagine how polite everyone will be when they see him again.

Jiang Chen said: "I have another copy here. Be careful not to tear it! Otherwise, if you want to buy a newspaper, you will have to go far away."

"Seeing how excited you are, you can rest for half a day this morning and start working in the afternoon. Okay, look, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Everyone suddenly became cautious in their movements.

We formed two circles and read the newspaper carefully.

Even the uneducated Ge Langping and Shi Zhu carefully looked at the words on it that they basically didn't understand.

Jiang Chen waved his hand and called Luo Xue: "Luo Xue, please don't participate in the seminar for the past two days. Please sort out the various test data of Sangang machine tools for later use."

"You go to the Engineering Department office, it's quiet there."

Luo Xue pretended to be blessed: "Follow your orders, leader."

Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile, turned around and left.

Liu Yue glanced at the somewhat chaotic scene, and then looked at Shizhu Ge Langping, who was trying hard to understand:

"In this way, everyone should find a seat and sit down. Cao Jun will read it again, and let's listen to how the People's Daily reports on us."

"Comrade Cao Jun, you can ride Jiang Chen's car later and buy more newspapers. We will each have one copy and take it home as a souvenir."

After speaking, he took out a dollar and handed it to Cao Jun.

She did not mention cultural matters so as not to affect Ge Langping and Shi Zhu's mentality.

Everyone reluctantly stood up and found a place to sit down.

Cao Jun did not accept Liu Yue's money: "Sister-in-law, I have money. I will ask everyone to read the newspaper on behalf of the leader."

Liu Yue did not persist and took it back.

Cao Jun is Jiang Chen's direct descendant, so he must be given a chance to perform.

Cao Jun picked up a newspaper and cleared his throat: "Then let me read the newspaper to everyone."

"Auspicious snow heralds a good year. At the beginning of the new year, the Ministry of Industry has brought us great good news."

"After sixty days and nights of hard work by the R&D staff of the No. 3 Steel Rolling Plant in Sijiucheng, the world's most advanced machine tool, the No. 3 Steel Machine Tool, made its grand debut on the first day of the new year."

After the practice, Cao Jun said sincerely: "As expected of National Daily, this report is really well written."

Liu Yue knocked on the table: "There is another article at the back, let's read it together."

Cao Jun was stunned: "Huh?"

"Ah, it really does happen! The chief cordially met with Jiang Chenshou, the chief technician of Sangang Machine Tool Research and Development. Did the chief meet with the leaders?"

Cao Jun swallowed subconsciously.

His previous attention had been on the report on Sangang Machine Tool, and he did not notice that there was also a report about Jiang Chen below.

Liu Yue saw Jiang Chen's name at first sight: "Read it first."

In the factory director's office, Yang Weimin and Tao Yuan each took a piece of newspaper and read it word by word. They read it over and over again and couldn't put it down.

Yang Weimin said: "It's true that the Ministry of Industry has not done any research and development work at all. Why do they have to add my name to it!"

Even though he said this, people were so happy that they couldn't help but smile.

Tao Yuan smiled and said, "Just have fun there!"

He had been in the newspaper two years ago, such as when the No. 3 Steel Plant was selected as a model enterprise.

But this is the first time the headlines have appeared.

Yang Weimin said: "This time I got the credit from Xiao Jiang."

Tao Yuan nodded: "Yes, the key point is that the position under our buttocks is saved by others. I really owe Xiao Jiang a huge favor."

"But now Xiao Jiang seems to be lacking everything and doesn't know how to repay others."

Yang Weimin said: "Isn't Xiao Jiang looking for Maotai and Huazi? How about we think of a way to get him some more?"

"Then, if he gets married in the next year, I'll figure out how to give him a big gift."

Tao Yuan nodded: "It seems like this is the only way we can do it! His mother is here too, so we have to express our gratitude."

"It's not appropriate for us to come forward, so let Wen Wan go."

Yang Weimin nodded: "Yes, I think it will work."

"I do have a watch. A foreigner got it from the West. How do you think I should give it to him before he accepts it?"

Tao Yuan frowned: "The West, will there be trouble?"

Yang Weimin said: "There is no problem with a neutral country, otherwise how would I dare to keep it."

Tao Yuan thought for a long time: "I estimate that no matter how I give it to him, he will not accept personal things, unless it is in the name of the factory, or it is given to Liu Yue."

"Liu Yue is a smart girl. She should know how to transfer the watch to Jiang Chen."

Yang Weimin shook his head: "Because Liu Yue is smart, she won't ask for our things, so as not to cause trouble to Jiang Chen."

"Isn't he engaged in research? He has very high requirements for time control. For this reason, from a research perspective, he should be able to accept it."

Tao Yuan said: "I think it will work."

"Then how do I express it?"

Yang Weimin smiled and said: "Where is your identity? It's inconvenient to give things away. Let's keep it for now. It will be convenient for Jiang Chen when he needs it in the future."

Tao Yuan said: "Is there any chance? Why do I think he won't need my help in the future?"
