Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

Two days later, the day of winter assessment arrived. Workers from various factories showed off their skills, and those who had some confidence signed up to participate in this activity.

People in Siheyuan are no exception, and many of them signed up today.

For example, Liu Haizhong in the backyard is preparing to challenge the eighth-level blacksmith again today.

Qin Huairu from the Intermediate Court also signed up today. This woman didn't suffer any loss at all.

Because this is her first time to take the assessment in three years. If she is lucky enough to pass and become a first-level fitter, she can get a monthly salary of 32 yuan.

If she fails, she can still become a regular employee, and her salary can then increase to 27 yuan a month. In any case, she will not suffer any loss.

During the morning working hours, Sun Zhengguo was sitting in the office, looking at today's assessment list.

At this time, Zhang Yucheng hurried in from outside and spoke without even taking a breath.

"Director, Engineer Zhang from the department has already arrived at the machinery factory, and Deputy Director Chen has also gone there. You are the only one missing."

"Ok!"

Upon hearing the news, Sun Zhengguo put down the list in his hand.

"Yucheng, I'm going to assess the technicians this morning. We don't have many people in our unit, so please organize and bring all the people who need to be assessed to the machinery factory to take the assessment together."

"Okay, Director. I'll go right away." Zhang Yucheng walked out happily.

Because he also took part in the assessment today, after all, it is always good to have many skills.

If the skill level is higher, future promotion will be smoother. Under the same conditions, those with higher skills will definitely be given priority.

And not only him, but Zhou Weimin and Zheng Wenhua also participated in the assessment today.

Think about it, Zhou Weimin has already become the deputy director, isn't he still working hard to make progress?

What reason do I have to keep stagnating?

Under the office building of the machinery factory, Director Li and several other factory leaders were happily chatting with Engineer Zhang and Chen Lianshan from the department...

"Engineer Zhang, Engineer Chen, if the workers are nervous during the assessment, I hope you can be more tolerant and give them more opportunities. After all, it's not easy for the workers either."

Although he had already given the gift, Director Li still needed to say some polite words.

To be more precise, these words were purely spoken to Mr. Zhang, because Chen Lianshan and his men were all his own people.

After hearing what Director Li said, Chen Lianshan smiled without saying anything, as if he understood everything.

Mr. Zhang also knew that this was someone's land, so he had to give face, and give enough face.

"Director Li, rest assured, as long as the workers have the right skills, we will not create obstacles or make things more difficult for the workers."

"Okay! Then I would like to thank Engineer Zhang and Engineer Chen on behalf of the workers."

As the two were talking, they saw Sun Zhengguo walking towards them from not far away. When Director Li saw him, his smile grew even brighter.

"Come on, come on, our examiner is here, let's go and greet him together."

Then everyone exchanged greetings and then got into work mode, preparing to assess the technicians.

Since the threshold for technicians is relatively high and it is an assessment for senior technicians, not many people participate in total.

In order to save time, the three of them discussed and decided to put all the level 12 and level 11 technicians who were taking the assessment together to take the exam.

Finally, after the first round of theoretical examination, 17 out of the 7 technicians who participated were eliminated.

Can you imagine how difficult it is to pass the technician level assessment?

After the first round of exams, the second round began immediately, and this time the test was about hands-on ability.

Those who can make it to this stage are basically ruthless people, so this level was not very eventful and only two people were eliminated.

There are now 8 people left on the field, with 4 people left from the research institute and from the machinery factory, which shows that the research institute is very strong.

Because the assessment procedures for technical personnel and workers are different, there is a third round.

This round of assessment focuses on comprehension ability, which requires both hands-on and brain-based work, and is really a test of one’s level.

After half an hour of intense work, the assessment was over and six technicians were the last ones to laugh.

Looking at the list in his hand, Sun Zhengguo was in a good mood. As expected, Zhou Weimin, Zheng Wenhua and Zhang Yucheng were all promoted to level 10 technicians.

And that’s not all. There’s one person who has successfully advanced to level 11 technician, and he’s also from their research institute.

Now that the assessment has officially ended, Sun Zhengguo began to read out the promotion list as usual.

"Everyone, be quiet. I will now announce the results. The people promoted to level 11 technicians in the machinery factory are: Wu Maosheng, Ma Cheng, and Tian Jianrong. The person promoted to level 10 technicians is: Xu Changyou. Congratulations to you."

"Bah bang bang...!"

After a round of applause, Sun Zhengguo took out another list and continued reading.

"The three people promoted to level 11 technicians in the institute are: Yao Changyuan, and the three people promoted to level 10 technicians are: Zhou Weimin, Zheng Wenhua, and Zhang Yucheng. Congratulations to you."

"Bah bang bang...!"

After another round of applause, the level certificates began to be distributed.

Originally! According to the process, it can be completed after the certificate is issued.

But Zhou Weimin did not leave after taking the certificate. Instead, he took out an application form from his bag and placed it on the table very solemnly.

"Examiners, I am going to continue to apply for the engineer assessment. This is my application report."

When the engineers who were issuing certificates heard this, they all looked up at Zhou Weimin.

Sun Zhengguo smiled and said, "Wei Min, are you serious?"

"Director, I have been learning from you for the past few years. I think my skills are pretty good, so I want to give it a try. I would like to trouble you to be my recommender."

Zhou Weimin looked at Sun Zhengguo confidently, hoping that he would agree.

Because in order to become an engineer, apart from achieving good results and being directly appointed by your superiors, the only other option is to take an assessment.

At the same time, the assessment is quite complicated. First you have to apply, then you need a recommender. After you pass all the requirements, the higher-level department will send someone to supervise on-site.

Then you have to pass the exam on your own to become a level nine engineer.

Looking at Zhou Weimin's hopeful eyes, Sun Zhengguo shook his head without even thinking about it.

"I'm sorry, Weimin, I can't be your recommender."

"Why? Director, do you think my skills are not good enough?"

Zhou Weimin thought he had heard it wrong and asked again.

"No, you're overthinking it. I'm just trying to avoid suspicion. Although I can't be your recommender, you can find Deputy Director Chen. I believe he is fully qualified."

Sun Zhengguo explained with a smile.

In fact, there is another person on the scene who can be recommended, that is Engineer Zhang, but his status is still a bit low, and his superiors may be a bit slow in giving instructions.

If the approval is not given by then, I will probably miss the last day of the engineer assessment.

In that case, you will have to wait until next year to take the exam.

After this guidance, Zhou Weimin had a better idea.

"Okay, thank you Director. I will go find Deputy Director Chen and ask him to recommend me. Then I will ask the Director to pass it on for me."

"Go ahead! It's best to write the recommendation letter in the morning. I'll have someone send it to the department for you this afternoon. Try to get a chance to take the assessment this time."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Engineer Zhang, who was sitting next to them, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It's really easy to get things done because of someone in the court. A very complicated matter seems so simple in their mouths.
