Comfortable life in Siheyuan

On Monday, Liu Qingshan went to the steel mill early. Today, the factory had a reception for visitors from higher-level departments and sister companies. The main object of the visit was the 100-ton oxygen converter. Since the equipment was put into production, it has become a star in the industry.

The influence is comparable to that of the one in Shijingshan. There are many people here today. Many of our brother companies have only developed small 30-ton converters. The only one that can be directly installed and successfully built is the Third Steel Rolling Plant.

Liu Qingshan will not only be responsible for the reception today, but also for communicating with colleagues and sharing his advanced work experience with everyone.

When Liu Qingshan arrived at the factory, he was called over by the factory leader before he even sat down.

Liu Qingshan trotted to the factory meeting room and was shocked when he entered the room. Wow! So many people came! The factory director, secretary, and several deputy factory directors were all there.

Liu Qingshan walked in and found a corner and was about to sit down when he heard the voice of Director Yang from the front.

"Chief Liu, why are you sitting so far away? Sit a little further forward. Can you hear me from there?"

Liu Qingshan had no choice but to stand up and move a few seats forward.

"Deputy Director Liu, how are your preparations for today's factory reception going?" Secretary Guo asked seriously.

"No problem, Secretary. This time we have prepared everything according to the prescribed standards, and we guarantee that there will be no problems." Liu Feng also said seriously.

"That's fine. The standards cannot be changed, but you have to tell the canteen to make it more delicious. The taste must not be bad." Director Yang ordered.

"Don't worry, I have called Nan Yi from the second canteen and He Yuzhu from the third canteen together. They will work together to ensure the guests' lunch, and there will be absolutely no problems." Deputy Director Liu Feng assured, patting his chest.

"The leaders of the department have worked in Sichuan for a long time. You should ask their two chefs to prepare some Sichuan dishes. I remember He Yuzhu is good at this." Director Yang reminded with a smile.

"Okay, Director. I'll go and notify them shortly."

"Deputy Director Qin, you have to work harder today. In addition to the converter workshop that you are going to visit, you have to look around other places to make sure nothing goes wrong. These workshops may not be visited today, but we must be prepared to receive the visitors. In case the leader makes a sudden decision, we will not be caught off guard." Director Yang explained seriously.

"Don't worry, Director. I'll gather a few workshop directors and notify them later. I'm not going anywhere today. I'll just stay in a few workshops." Deputy Director Qin said firmly.

"Well, the secretary and I are confident in leaving this position to you," said Director Yang.

"Where are the people from the Propaganda Department? Have they arrived?" Secretary Guo looked up and asked.

"Here I come, here I come." Director Huang from the Propaganda Department stood up quickly.

"Director Huang, you have a heavy task today. We need to prepare for the welcome ceremony. You will go to the door later and check carefully to see if the welcome slogans are ready. This includes the slogans and banners on both sides of the roads in the factory. The leader has brought an internal film, and we will all study it together today. You should ask the projectionist to prepare all the equipment, and treat today as a big battle." Director Yang said seriously.

"Yes, Director!" Director Huang responded loudly.

"After everyone comes in and the welcome ceremony is over, you should go to the radio station and keep an eye on it. You should review the broadcast scripts to ensure that there are no mistakes." Secretary Guo added.

"Yes, Secretary."

"You go first!" Director Yang ordered. Director Huang hurried out of the meeting room to do the preparations.

After Director Huang left, Director Yang turned his attention to Liu Qingshan and said with a smile: "Chief Liu, your task today is not easy. You must have memorized the production data of last month. The explanation later depends on you. Don't go anywhere today, just follow us."

"Yes, Director. I promise to complete the task." Liu Qingshan said nervously.

"Relax, the secretary and I still believe in your ability. We are here to show our faces today, so we must do our best." Director Yang comforted.

The secretary then explained some reception matters to the other people, and this impromptu meeting in the morning ended.

Liu Qingshan first went back to the office to sort out some materials related to the top-blown oxygen converter, and then went to the factory gate with the materials to wait for the arrival of the guests.

I stood at the factory gate and didn't have to wait long before I heard the roar of cars in the distance. Soon I saw several cars coming.

As soon as the car stopped, several factory leaders quickly came forward with warm smiles on their faces. They shook hands cordially with the people getting off the car and extended sincere greetings. At this moment, Director Huang of the Propaganda Department, who was standing in the crowd, seemed particularly busy. While nervously watching the situation on the scene, he frequently gestured to the surrounding staff to signal everyone to take action.

Liu Qingshan looked at the leader in front and suddenly remembered, isn't this the big leader who was Sha Zhu's benefactor?

"Leader, let's go to the conference room first. I'll let Section Chief Liu Qingshan explain our factory's production situation to everyone so that everyone can understand it first." Director Yang suggested with a smile.

"No need, let's go directly to the scene and explain while watching, that's more direct!" The big boss refused with a smile.

"Okay, let's go over there now. Qingshan, come here." Director Yang called Liu Qingshan to his side in a low voice.

Under the guidance of the factory director and secretary, everyone walked into the factory. Liu Qingshan followed closely behind, introducing the factory situation to the senior leaders as they walked.

The senior leader listened very carefully and asked some questions from time to time, and Liu Qingshan answered them one by one. When passing by the converter workshop, the senior leader stopped and asked some technical details about the converter.

With his solid professional knowledge, Liu Qingshan explained in detail the working principle and advantages of the converter. The leader was satisfied with Liu Qingshan's answer, nodded, and continued to move forward. The whole visit went smoothly, and Liu Qingshan was secretly happy. It seemed that today's reception work was very successful.

"Comrade Liu Qingshan, I have heard of your great name for a long time! In the past two years, your achievements are truly dazzling! Keep up this enthusiasm, our country needs talents like you!" The senior leader praised with a smile on his face.

Liu Qingshan was delighted to hear the praise from his leader, but he still responded modestly: "Thank you for your affirmation, these are all our responsibilities, not worth mentioning."

Afterwards, everyone left the busy steelmaking workshop and headed for the conference room. The leader took steady steps and took the main seat with a smile on his face. He stood straight, looked around the room, and then slowly said:

"Today I visited the steelmaking workshop of the Third Steel Rolling Mill, and I was deeply touched. In fact, I have been here before, and the last time was several years ago. The scale of the steel rolling mill at that time was far smaller than it is now, and neither the number of plant buildings nor the production equipment can be compared with today. However, what I saw and heard today really surprised me!"

After a short pause, the leader continued, "In recent years, the steel mill has developed at an extremely rapid pace. Not only has the output of steel increased significantly, but the output of finished products has also shown a significant growth trend. Such outstanding achievements are rare!"

At this moment, the leaders of the steel rolling mill sitting in the audience all felt deeply proud, as if this honor also belonged to each of them.
