Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

Soon, Qian Cheng came back: "Director Yang, please suspend the assessment this morning! Vice Minister Zhou will be here later, and he will organize the assessment in the afternoon."

"To be honest, when I promised you not to limit the working age, I was a little careless."

Yang Weimin was stunned: "No way, you don't really want to regret it, do you?"

Qian Cheng shook his head: "That's not the case, it's just that you guys are a bit too scary."

Tao Yuan said: "How many people will Minister Zhou bring over? I'll ask the canteen to prepare lunch."

Qian Cheng shook his head again: "I don't know how many people are here, but everyone is paying attention to your training system and assessment, and they don't care about anything else."

"Vice Minister Zhou is a person who doesn't stick to trivial details. You can prepare whatever you want for lunch, and you can eat in the big cafeteria."

Yang Weimin nodded: "Okay, let's go and drink tea in my office and wait for Minister Zhou to come over."

Qian Cheng nodded: "Let's go!"

Jiang Chen came outside the workshop, where the children were still waiting.

Seeing Jiang Chen approaching, he consciously stood up and lined up.

Jiang Chen said: "Actually, there is nothing terrible about this assessment. Shi Zhu and Liu Yue performed very well this morning. The leaders of the Ministry of Industry were shocked."

"The assessment is suspended now and is expected to start in the afternoon. Everyone can move freely and relax. I will go to the cafeteria to say hello later and everyone will go to eat early."

"Don't eat too much during this meal. Take a walk afterward to adjust your condition and wait until the assessment in the afternoon."

"Okay, disband!"

"Ha!" The child case was dismissed.

Qian Cheng, who was passing by, was startled again: "It's amazing, it's really amazing! It's full of vigor and order, no wonder he has such good technical skills."

A big leader from the Ministry of Industry was coming. As the person in charge of the training pilot, Jiang Chen naturally couldn't escape and had to accompany him to receive him.

Near half past eleven, three cars drove into the No. 3 Steel Plant.

Vice Minister Zhou arrived, bringing more than ten people with him.

Two are experts in industry, and the others assist in the assessment.

He was worried that he would be delayed in the morning and would not be able to complete the assessment today without sending additional manpower in the afternoon.

After a brief introduction, Yang Weimin said: "Let's go to the canteen first and chat while eating."

Vice Minister Zhou nodded: "Okay, finish eating early and start the assessment early."

In fact, he was eager to see what the on-site assessment would look like.

When we arrived at the canteen, Vice Minister Zhou said, "Xiao Jiang, come on, come on, sit at this table."

He, Yang Weimin, Tao Yuan, and Qian Cheng were now sitting at that table.

When Jiang Chen saw this, he sat over.

There were too many people arriving at once, and the small canteen was not well prepared, so we had to go to the large canteen outside to get food and add two stir-fry dishes.

Vice Minister Zhou looked at Jiang Chen: "Xiao Jiang is really young and promising. Today's national construction requires young people who have ideas, dare to act, and can take the lead alone."

Tao Yuan said: "Mr. Zhou, let me tell you that this little Jiang especially loves to study."

"When I first came to the factory, I brought two pieces of clothes, and the rest were all books."

Vice Minister Zhou sighed: "Well, it's a good thing to love reading."

"The last young man I met who was so talented and loved to read was my apprentice. It's a pity that he died in the darkest hour before dawn."

Yang Weimin asked: "Are you talking about Luo Ruiluo? I heard about him after entering the factory. It is indeed a pity."

Vice Minister Zhou said: "Yes, I pity my apprentice. He was only 28 years old at the time. He died like that, leaving an orphan and a widowed mother."

"But fortunately, Wenwan is pretty good. Not only did he bring up the children, but he also did the personnel work in an orderly manner."

"Luo Xue should be 16 or 17 this year. I was the one who gave her the name back then. Rui Xue is a sign of good harvest, father Luo Rui and daughter Luo Xue, haha."

hiss!

Jiang Chen took a breath of cold air.

Is this gentle background so hard?

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Chen took out a notebook from his pocket: "Gong Luo is indeed talented. I have been studying his notebooks for the past two days and I have benefited a lot."

"Huh?" Vice Minister Zhou was stunned: "Did you study his notes?"

Jiang Chen said: "Two days ago, I went to trouble Chief Wen because I asked Uncle Lei to decorate the house."

"Then I saw a bookshelf full of books. I couldn't help it, so I asked Section Chief Wen to borrow some of them. Among them was this notebook."

Vice Minister Zhou nodded, looked up at Jiang Chen seriously, and said calmly: "That's it."

Then, he lowered his head and picked up Lori's notes.

Looking at the familiar font, I have mixed feelings.

After a long time, he returned the notebook to Jiang Chen: "He does have great ideas, but times have changed now, and many of the previous methods are not so valuable now."

"Just take a look at his thoughts on this. Don't delve too deeply into it. It's of little value."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Hey, okay."

"By the way, Luo Xue is outside. Do you want to ask her to come in?"

Vice Minister Zhou was stunned: "Huh? She also works here?"

Jiang Chen nodded and shook his head: "She is actually in the factory, but she is not working. She is helping me with the training pilot matters. Section Chief Wen asked her to help."

"As for whether he will work here in the future, it depends on his wishes and the needs of the factory."

Vice Minister Zhou said: "Oh, that's it! Forget it, I won't call her. This is a workplace. If you want to reminisce about old times, there are plenty of opportunities."

"But she did this training pilot with you, so she should have learned a lot, right?"

Jiang Chen said: "Yes, she is still very serious and responsible in her work."

In fact, these words were not asked for Jiang Chen's answer at all, but were meant for Yang Weimin and Tao Yuan.

Vice Minister Zhou asked: "I heard that these children are all from orphanages?"

Yang Weimin nodded: "Yes, life in the orphanage was difficult at that time and supplies were lacking. Director Wang really couldn't come to the factory to discuss countermeasures with us."

"At that time, Xiao Jiang was preparing to launch a pilot project. He felt that this group of children was quite suitable. They had no technical skills, were easy to keep confidential, and could easily solve the crisis in the orphanage, so he brought them in."

Vice Minister Zhou nodded: "That's great. A group of orphanage children with no foundation, no culture, and no experience can achieve such achievements."

"Then if this training system is promoted, it may achieve better results."

No one answered.

Vice Minister Zhou asked again: "I heard that the training participants were more than 20 educated young people?"

"How are they doing now?"

Jiang Chen nodded: "Yes, they participated in the training as reserve training specialists, but some of them were eliminated. There are still 14 of them."

"Generally speaking, they already have the ability to conduct on-stage training. In other words, once it starts to be implemented, we can train 16 batches of personnel at the same time."

"Okay, okay!" Vice Minister Zhou nodded repeatedly:

"Tell me the bottom line, what results will these children probably get in the afternoon assessment?"

Jiang Chen smiled and said: "I can't make any judgment on this. I'd better wait for the results to come out! But I think there should be a surprise."

"But Vice Minister Zhou, you won't take back the conditions previously agreed to by the Ministry of Industry, right?"

Vice Minister Zhou said: "No, how can the Ministry of Industry break its promise? No matter whether it was not considered carefully at the beginning, if you agree, you agree."

"Let them take the exam with confidence. The Ministry of Industry will recognize whichever level they can reach."
