Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

By the time the two arrived at the Ministry of Metallurgy, it was time for work.

The sentry did not recognize Wang Lefeng because he had been on duty there for many years. In addition, his appearance was unique and he showed his work ID when entering the gate. Only then were the two of them able to enter the building smoothly.

Because he didn't know what Deputy Minister Bai's attitude was, Sun Zhengguo first settled Wang Lefeng in the office of the first department.

"Lao Wang, have a glass of water in your office. I'm going to report the situation to Deputy Minister Bai first."

"Deputy Section Chief Sun, please don't forget about the Hongqi Steel Plant. You can't let those workers lose their jobs. Otherwise, I will feel uneasy even if I stay."

Sun Zhengguo didn't expect that Wang Lefeng was such a sentimental person, so he gave him a reassuring look and then said with a smile.

"Old Wang, don't worry. Just based on the chicken that Director Zhou had, I can't forget about this matter. Otherwise, I would be sorry for the dead chicken."

After Sun Zhengguo finished joking, he left the office and went straight to the third floor.

Arriving at the third floor, Sun Zhengguo first found Secretary Hu and learned that Deputy Minister Bai was working in the office, then he knocked on the door.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Please come in!"

After getting permission, Sun Zhengguo pushed open the door and walked into the office.

When Vice Minister Bai saw Sun Zhengguo, he thought something had happened again and asked quickly.

"Comrade Zhengguo, aren't you at the Red Star Steel Mill? Did something happen again?"

"Deputy Minister Bai, this is a good thing. Maybe you will give me a reward?"

Sun Zhengguo's words successfully aroused Deputy Minister Bai's curiosity, so he put down the documents in his hand and said with a smile.

"Oh! Could it be that the rolling mill has been renovated? That's impossible. It's only been a few days. Besides, I haven't heard any reports from my subordinates."

"It's not about this, Deputy Minister Bai. I just came back from the countryside and brought you a talented person."

"Oh! Tell me, what kind of talent is it?"

Seeing that he had successfully aroused the interest of Deputy Minister Bai, Sun Zhengguo did not waste time and recounted his experience of going to the countryside for the past two days. At the same time, he emphasized that Wang Lefeng was not a madman, but a man of great ability.

After hearing Sun Zhengguo's serious words, Deputy Minister Bai had already believed most of it.

The department will definitely attach 100% importance to talents who can improve steel from the source.

But in order to avoid being too happy, Vice Minister Bai still called the subordinate unit, the Iron and Steel Research Institute. After giving them instructions, he spoke after hanging up the phone.

"Let's call Comrade Wang Lefeng over first. Doesn't he have research results? Director Tang from the Iron and Steel Research Institute will be here soon, so it's a good opportunity for him to take a look."

"Okay, Deputy Minister Bai."

After receiving the instructions, Sun Zhengguo hurried back to the technical department office.

"Lao Wang, take your research results and come with me to meet Deputy Minister Bai."

"Oh~!"

Wang Lefeng responded indifferently without showing much joy. This situation had happened before, but he was always disappointed in the end.

Opening his simple suitcase, Wang Lefeng took out a stack of letter paper, thought for a while, and took out a few test reports before following Sun Zhengguo up to the third floor.

The two men walked into the office. When Deputy Minister Bai saw Wang Lefeng for the first time, he felt a little cheated, because his image was really not flattering. Could such a person really be useful?

"Deputy Minister Bai, I'm Wang Lefeng from the Technical Section 1, and this... this is my research material."

Adhering to the idea of ​​trusting people when employing them and not employing people if you don't trust them, Deputy Minister Bai put aside his prejudice and chose to trust Sun Zhengguo for once. He reached out to take the information and said lightly.

"Comrade Wang Lefeng, don't be nervous. I've heard about your story. Please take a seat first! Someone else will be here in a while. He is an authority on steel. Do you mind letting him take a look at this information?"

"I don't mind, I don't mind."

Wang Lefeng said in panic.

He is not afraid to show his work to others. The key is to find someone who knows the business. You can't hire a half-baked person and thus negate your own hard work.

After the two sat down, they waited for a while before an elegant middle-aged man came outside the room. He should be Director Tang.

Director Tang walked into the office and spoke directly without even bothering to say hello.

"Deputy Minister Bai, I'm very busy. Where is the information you mentioned?"

Deputy Minister Bai smiled and did not mean to blame him. He reached out and picked up the information on the table and handed it to Director Tang.

Director Tang took the information, stood there and began to look through it carefully.

It is said that an expert can tell whether something is good or not with just one look. Director Tang only took a look at the first piece of paper and it was as if he was under a spell, unable to extricate himself.

As time went by, ten minutes passed and Director Tang still didn't move. Twenty minutes passed and he still didn't move.

About ten minutes later, Director Tang finished reading the last page of information and asked in a very inappropriate tone.

"Deputy Minister Bai, which engineer created this masterpiece? Is there anything else behind this?"

"These materials are the research results of Comrade Wang Lefeng. I don't know the rest."

Deputy Minister Bai pointed at Wang Lefeng and said.

It was only then that Director Tang discovered that there were two other people nearby.

Look at the person that Deputy Minister Bai pointed out. Well! This is in line with the image of a research madman. As for Sun Zhengguo, this pretty boy, he was directly shocked.

"Deputy Minister Bai, I want this person. With his joining, I can guarantee that our country's steel industry will be able to reach a higher level."

"Don't worry, don't worry. This comrade is also a staff member of our Metallurgical Department. He can't run away. Let me introduce him to you first."

Through Deputy Minister Bai's introduction, Sun Zhengguo realized that the elegant man in front of him was indeed Director Tang of the Iron and Steel Research Institute, a senior engineer in the steel industry.

After the introduction, a few people greeted each other, and Director Tang couldn't wait to pull Wang Lefeng over, and the two started chatting about some issues in the information.

Seeing the two chatting as if no one was around, Sun Zhengguo was not idle either. He told Deputy Minister Bai about the difficulties encountered by the Hongqi Steel Plant.

"Comrade Zhengguo, don't worry, the Hongqi Steel Plant will not shut down. I have just asked Secretary Hu, and their steel has always been supplied to the farm implement factory, so it doesn't matter if the quality is a little worse."

Upon learning of the result, Sun Zhengguo breathed a sigh of relief, finally having an explanation to Director Zhou.

But he was a good man and wanted to do good things to the end. Wang Lefeng was the person he brought back, and Sun Zhengguo was ready to help him one last time.

"Deputy Minister Bai, due to various reasons, Comrade Wang Lefeng has never participated in the assessment in all these years, and has not yet been allocated housing."

Although Sun Zhengguo did not reveal any shortcomings, Deputy Minister Bai was ashamed of himself.

What are various reasons?

It all comes down to the leadership having a problem. Otherwise, how could such a talent go unnoticed?

If it weren't for Sun Zhengguo's persistence, such talents might have been lost in the dust of history.

"Comrade Zhengguo, you are right to remind us. These are all mistakes in our work. Don't worry, I will arrange for Secretary Hu to deal with the problems you reported. We must not let such talents be lost again."

Now that all the problems have been solved, Sun Zhengguo glanced at the two people next to him who were chatting animatedly. He did not disturb Wang Lefeng, said hello to Deputy Minister Bai, and returned to the office downstairs.

After returning to the office on the first floor, the first thing Sun Zhengguo did was to call Director Zhou of the Hongqi Steel Plant and tell him about his superiors' decision so that the workers could rest assured.
