Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

At this time, Director Yang, who was standing by, stood there in shock, his face filled with astonishment, and he was also deeply shocked in his heart.

He never dreamed that such an important leader would come to inspect, and he seemed to be of extraordinary status. Even a big shot like Minister Wang came out to greet him in person.

The other steel mill leaders were so nervous that they didn't know what to do. They stretched their necks and stared into the distance, looking forward to the arrival of these mysterious figures.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, several military jeeps came speeding like lightning.

Before the car stopped, a group of heroic soldiers quickly jumped off and formed a tight cordon around it.

Immediately afterwards, a young officer slowly walked down from the car. With his appearance, the atmosphere at the scene became extremely tense.

When Sun Zhengguo saw who was coming, he was stunned, because this young officer was his brother-in-law Ning Dazhuang!

His eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

After Ning Dazhuang got off the car, he looked around. When his eyes finally fell on Sun Zhengguo, the corners of his mouth slightly raised and he revealed a smile.

However, he did not say much, but simply nodded.

When Sun Zhengguo saw Ning Dazhuang performing his mission, he did not go forward to disturb him, but also nodded in response.

Then, after a few more minutes of waiting, car horns were heard again in the distance. This time there were more vehicles, and one of them, a Hongqi sedan, was particularly eye-catching.

Sun Zhengguo stared at the Hongqi car with his eyes wide open, like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, his heart full of curiosity and anticipation.

"coming!"

"They're really here!"

There were waves of excited shouts from the crowd, and everyone was looking into the distance expectantly, waiting for the convoy to arrive.

Finally, amidst everyone's long calls, a neat convoy appeared at the end of the sight, and the vehicles stopped steadily in front of the factory gate.

Then, the staff on the bus began to get off one after another. They moved quickly and orderly, obviously having received professional training.

Finally, the door of the Hongqi sedan slowly opened, and a middle-aged soldier in military uniform got out of the car.

He has an upright posture, steady steps, and eyes as sharp as an eagle, revealing a sense of majesty and confidence.

The middle-aged soldier and Ning Dazhuang looked at each other, and there seemed to be eye contact between the two. Then they nodded to each other, indicating that everything was normal.

After confirmation, the middle-aged soldier turned around and whispered a few words to the people in the car.

The kind old man in the car seemed to have no interest in this and instead whispered a reproach.

"You guys! You always make a fuss out of nothing. Is there anyone who would harm me on our own land?"

The old man shook his head and got out of the car.

The middle-aged soldier smiled. He was already used to it. He didn't refute and just followed the old man, keeping alert at all times.

The moment the old man got off the car, the entire factory gate was in an uproar.

"Everyone, look! It's General Lai. It's General Lai."

“Boss Lai! It’s actually Boss Lai. Boss Lai is here to visit us.”

"Wow! Oh my god! I saw Mr. Lai, woooooooo~!"

"..."

Sun Zhengguo was already dumbfounded at this moment. Who did he see? The living President Lai.

"Bah bang bang...!"

After a brief moment of shock and excitement, warm applause broke out at the factory gate and lasted for a long time.

Sun Zhengguo also clapped his hands to express his welcome along with everyone else, with excitement flashing in his eyes.

After getting off the car, Mr. Lai took a brief glance and began to wave to the crowd. Then he shook hands with the comrades who came to greet him one by one, expressing his respect and care.

When Mr. Lai walked in front of Sun Zhengguo, he quickly stretched out his hands and spoke excitedly.

"Hello, Mr. President! You are welcome to come for inspection."

"Hello! If I'm not mistaken, you are Comrade Sun Zhengguo, right? The commander-in-chief of this transformation work is younger than I thought!"

When he came here, Mr. Lai had already checked Sun Zhengguo's information, so he was so familiar with him.

But Sun Zhengguo had not expected that Mr. Lai actually knew him. Just a few simple words, coupled with his unique personal charm, had already made him so excited that he almost cried.

You must know that no matter in the past life or this life, the person Sun Zhengguo admires most is the kind old man in front of him.

Now the old man was standing in front of him, how could he not be excited?

"General Lai, I am Sun Zhengguo. I don't dare to be the commander-in-chief. I am doing this for the sake of building the motherland."

"You are a good young comrade, very modest! I have read the report on this transformation. Your achievements can be said to have made a qualitative leap in China's steel industry. How about you take a look with me?"

"Okay, come on, Boss."

Sun Zhengguo said excitedly.

The cadres around him all showed envy and surprise on their faces.

They saw with their own eyes that when Lai shook hands with others, he simply said a greeting.

However, when he shook hands with Sun Zhengguo, he showed a completely different attitude, and the two actually talked for such a long time.

What is even more striking is that President Lai specifically asked Sun Zhengguo to accompany him, which undoubtedly shows that he attaches great importance to him.

This detail made the people present realize that Deputy Section Chief Sun was not only popular, but also had a bright future.

After the brief welcome ceremony, Mr. Lai did not plan to go to the conference room for a long talk, but went directly to the hot rolling workshop to inspect and see the actual situation.

When Mr. Lai walked into the workshop, the workers were excited but still stayed at their posts.

They accepted the inspection of General Secretary Xi Jinping with spring-like smiles and high-spirited and full attitudes.

Along the way, Sun Zhengguo, as a qualified escort, kept telling Lai about the machines, which gave him a more intuitive understanding of these machines.

Mr. Lai also nodded continuously and praised the efforts of Sun Zhengguo and others.

After visiting these three workshops, some people still felt unsatisfied. There happened to be a forging workshop next to it, so everyone went into the forging workshop together.

Sun Zhengguo did not say how familiar he was with the working principle of the forging machine, but when he gave a general explanation, he still seemed to be able to handle it with ease.

Sun Zhengguo's explanation of the working principle of the forging machine, from the simplest to the most complex, made the leaders on the side nod their heads involuntarily to show their understanding.

"Comrade Sun Zhengguo, this should not be your main subject. I listened to your explanation and it was very profound! How did you do it?"

Faced with Mr. Lai's inquiry, Sun Zhengguo was not at all flustered and immediately explained.

"Boss Lai, although this is not my major, it belongs to mechanics. I studied mechanics, and many of the principles are the same."

"Great! It seems that your current achievements are definitely not accidental. The future construction of the motherland depends on you! Haha!"

The leaders around him have now become accustomed to Mr. Lai's praise again, and the cadres at the steel rolling mill behind him are no longer envious, because their ears have become callused from hearing it so much that they can no longer envy him.

Liu Haizhong, who was working in the workshop at the time, was shocked at first when he saw Mr. Lai coming to inspect.

However, when he saw Sun Zhengguo, his heart was instantly disturbed. He was actually standing with Mr. Lai, and the two were chatting and laughing.

Liu Haizhong's heart immediately sank to the bottom. Last time, he failed to ask for the cadres and even tricked Sun Zhengguo, saying that he had no ability and could not get things done.

How could someone who could have such a pleasant chat with Mr. Lai be incompetent?

Liu Haizhong regrets it very much now, and he wants to slap himself in the face.

Why can't I keep calm?

Maybe these are just a process of being a cadre and need to be tested.

Obviously, I messed up. Do I still have a chance now?
