Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

A few days later, in the institute's office, Sun Zhengguo was drinking tea leisurely and looking at the production report for this period.

Everything went as he expected. Although he was away from the institute during this period, he did not neglect any of his work.

Chen Lianshan's work was temporarily taken over by Chen Wanchun, and it was about to be completed.

In addition, the production progress of the rolling mill is not slow, but it is estimated to be completed after the New Year.

Today is the last day of the assessment, and only three people participated in the engineer assessment, which was held at the research institute.

So, now he just needs to wait for someone to come.

A moment later, Zhang Yucheng came in from outside to report.

"Director, Director Wu from the department, and Director Qiu from the machine tool factory are here, they are downstairs!"

"Oh! Then go down and welcome him! Also, go notify Director Li and ask him to bring the person over for the assessment."

"Good director."

After saying that, Zhang Yucheng went downstairs first and prepared to go to the machinery factory.

Afterwards, Sun Zhengguo picked up the form in his hand and followed him downstairs.

Downstairs in the office building, Zhou Weimin was chatting with a few people, among whom Engineer Zhang was an old acquaintance, needless to say.

Director Wu is here today on behalf of the department to oversee the assessment.

One of the other two is Director Qiu from the machine tool factory, and the remaining one should be the person who came to take the assessment.

"Director Zhou, I heard that your research institute is going to launch a new machine tool soon. Can you tell us about it?"

"Haha! Director Qiu, you are really well-informed. It's just an ordinary machine tool, not worth mentioning." Zhou Weimin replied with a smile.

In fact, he knew what Director Qiu was thinking, but the current machine tool production of the machinery factory was not yet saturated, so he was not considering changing the production factory for the time being.

Director Qiu also understood what Zhou Weimin meant, but he was unwilling to accept it!

Their former No. 1 Machine Tool Factory has now become a foil to the machinery factory, producing only useless junk.

If this continues for a long time, the First Machine Tool Factory will exist in name only.

Therefore, Director Qiu decided that he must fight for it today no matter what.

"Director Zhou, I wonder if you can consider our machine tool factory after this machine tool is developed."

Seeing that Director Qiu was still pestering him, Zhou Weimin was at a loss as to what to do.

Although it is true that he is a standing committee member of the institute, his influence is not strong enough and his words cannot be heard!

Even Sun Zhengguo couldn't make the decision on his own. Didn't Director Qiu know this?

Just at this moment, Sun Zhengguo came over from the stairs and saved Zhou Weimin, so he decisively chose to pass the blame.

"Director Qiu, our director is here. Please ask him for the details!"

At this point, Director Qiu did not ask any more questions, and several people walked towards Sun Zhengguo together.

"Director Qiu, Director Wu, Engineer Zhang, welcome to our institute to inspect our work."

From a distance, Sun Zhengguo stretched out his hand and greeted warmly.

Director Qiu and Director Wu knew that the other party was just being polite, so they did not dare to be negligent and quickly stretched out their hands to greet him.

After the two sides greeted each other, they talked about the assessment...

Not long after, Director Li arrived with a technician, and the few of them exchanged pleasantries again.

However, there was a small joke here. Director Qiu and Director Li were like children having a quarrel, trying to sabotage each other.

Sun Zhengguo knew why they were competing, so he just smiled and took them to the small workshop to prepare for the assessment.

The small workshop had already been set up at this time, and the candidates were already sitting at three tables far away.

They are Zhou Weimin from the Research Institute, Chen Baosheng from the Machinery Factory, and Li Dongming from the Machine Tool Factory.

Since the candidates were already in place, Director Wu did not hesitate to take out the test papers brought from the department from his briefcase, gave one to each of the three people, and then nodded to Sun Zhengguo.

Sun Zhengguo did not hold back and spoke slowly.

"I will now announce the exam room rules. No cheating and no loud noises are allowed. Otherwise, your score will be cancelled. This exam will last 60 minutes. Please use it properly. The exam has officially begun."

Although these are all old sayings, they still need to be said.

After he finished speaking, the three candidates concentrated on answering the questions. Sun Zhengguo took advantage of the opportunity to flip through an extra test paper and start looking at it.

It’s true that the engineer assessment is not easy at all, it can be said to be extremely difficult.

The theoretical exam alone covers engineering mathematics, mechanics, mechanical principles, mechanical design, materials science, manufacturing technology, engineering drawing, etc.

It can be said that if you don't have the skills, it's a pipe dream to want to pass the exam to become an engineer.

Even Sun Zhengguo couldn't guarantee that he could get full marks after seeing this test paper, which shows how difficult it is.

Slowly, as time passed, the candidates on the field had not stopped writing yet. Sun Zhengguo looked at his watch again and found that the time had exceeded the time limit by 5 minutes.

But the two assistant examiners next to them, including Director Wu who was supervising the assessment, seemed not to see anything and sat there leisurely drinking tea.

After a while, two of the candidates stopped writing, while the other one did not stop, but he probably did not know how to do it and was still thinking with his pen in hand.

Seeing this situation, Sun Zhengguo could not delay any longer, so he pretended to look at his watch and then made the announcement.

"Okay, time is up, everyone stop writing!"

Without being told anything, Chen Lianshan took the initiative to collect the test papers, and then several people started to correct them.

Ten minutes later, the grading was completed and fortunately, all three advanced.

Li Dongming from the machine tool factory, didn't finish answering the question, but he barely passed.

The results were hastily announced, and the second round of practical assessment began immediately.

The difficulty of this round was designed by several examiners and was not too difficult.

Zhou Weimin and Chen Baosheng, both of whom were close to the water and had the upper hand, completed the task easily and successfully advanced after inspection.

But Li Dongming, who had just passed the test with difficulty, failed. It was not a matter of time, but he really couldn't do it. In the end, he gave up on his own initiative.

Director Qiu, who was watching the game from behind, could only shake his head and sigh helplessly. He really had no choice but to admit that he was inferior to others in skills.

At this time, you will experience the difference between having someone to guide you and having no one to guide you.

The third round of assessment combines understanding with practice, and the questions are also set by the department.

Director Wu then took out two small drawings from his briefcase again, handed them to the two candidates, and then announced the content of the examination.

"Please listen carefully, both of you. Please point out the deficiencies in the drawings and make corrections within the specified time. The assessment will last for one hour. Let's start now!"

The two followed the instructions and did not dare to waste time, so they each took the blueprint and studied the machine.

Forty minutes later, Zhou Weimin finished first, and ten minutes later, Chen Baosheng also completed the assessment task.

After inspection, both of them passed the test, but that was not the end.

Then the three examiners and the supervisor, Director Wu, conducted another interview with the candidate.

The questions mainly included some on-the-spot handling experience and deeper questions about mechanical principles.

After comprehensive evaluation, the three examiners unanimously determined that the two candidates were qualified and agreed to advance to the rank of engineer.

Director Wu supervised the whole process, and of course he would not be the bad guy who stamped the official seal happily.

At this point, Zhou Weimin and Chen Baosheng officially became level nine engineers.

However, if you want to apply for the certificate, you still need to go to the ministry.
