Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

Arriving outside the workshop, Director Yang looked at Zhou Tian with a smile and said, "Master Zhou, I was worried that everyone would not be able to adapt to the rapid changes in the factory due to the joint venture. I didn't expect your workshop to give me such a surprise!"

Zhou Tian originally thought that Director Yang wanted him to come out to talk about something else, but he didn't expect it to be this matter. However, he could understand this and said with a smile: "This matter has nothing to do with me. This is all the workers' own awareness!"

"Okay, I know exactly what happened, but Master Zhou, have you ever thought about joining the organization?"

Director Yang waved his hand, obviously not believing what Zhou Tian said. After all, he saw it very clearly just now. Even if this matter was not instigated by Zhou Tian, ​​it should be related to Zhou Tian.

Then he changed the subject and asked.

"Can I join the organization?"

Zhou Tian was immediately shocked by Director Yang's words, and then he was ecstatic. Joining the organization, although it seemed not difficult for a period of time in his previous life, but in this era it was an extremely difficult thing.

Especially since he has his own ambitions, if he can join the organization, it will be of great help to him in realizing his ambitions in the future.

"Of course, Master Zhou, you are a rare talent for developing a horizontal lathe. The organization will of course give priority to talents. Next, you just need to write an application and I will be your introducer. However, I hope that after you join the organization, you can make greater contributions to the country. Can you do it?"

As Director Yang spoke, his expression suddenly became serious, especially the last sentence, his tone was filled with an incomparable firmness.

Every word was like the sound of a morning bell striking at Zhou Tian's heart. He was originally ecstatic, as if a basin of cold water was poured on him. He suddenly sobered up and began to question himself, wondering if he could do it.

But when he thought of the Bald Eagle Army soldiers who were still on the front line of the peninsula, armed with rifles, airplanes and cannons, fighting for their lives to expand the living space for the Chinese people, and thought of the countless heroes who had fallen on the front line of the Anti-Japanese War, his heart suddenly became firm.

He looked up at Director Yang and said word by word: "Yes, I can do it!"

For a moment, as he said this, for some reason, he actually had an urge to cry. You know, he is usually a very strong person.

Even when it was so difficult to take care of his younger brothers and sisters, he never shed a tear, but at this moment, he actually felt a sour feeling welling up.

"Okay! Okay, I believe you!"

Director Yang also noticed Zhou Tian's excitement, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said with relief: "Master Zhou, this matter is settled. I am waiting to be your introducer. You go ahead and do your work. I will leave first!"

After saying that, he turned around and left Workshop 2.

Watching Director Yang leave, Zhou Tian couldn't calm down for a long time. He didn't know why, but at that moment, he felt a heavy pressure. It was not the pressure of life, nor the responsibility of family, but a kind of pressure he had never felt in his previous life. It was so heavy and yet so passionate.

Back at the workshop, Liu Wuming saw Zhou Tian's heavy face. He thought that Director Yang had criticized Zhou Tian, ​​so he stepped forward to comfort him and said, "What's wrong? Did Director Yang criticize you?"

"Without a master, I just feel like there's more pressure on my shoulders!"

Zhou Tian shook his head.

"You are always looking for trouble. Okay, stop thinking too much and don't put too much pressure on yourself. You are already doing well enough now!"

Liu Wuming thought that Zhou Tian was asking Director Yang to research some other machine tools. After all, Director Yang had mentioned this to his apprentice more than a day or two ago.

"Master, don't worry, I know!"

Zhou Tian nodded. As for joining the organization, he didn’t plan to tell anyone after everything was settled.

The next day, Zhou Tian came to Director Yang's office with an application letter he had written the night before.

"Director Yang, this is my application!"

Zhou Tian handed the application to Director Yang with a serious look.

"Okay, Master Zhou!"

Director Yang took the application, signed his name on it, and then looked at him and said, "Master Zhou, I believe you must be confused as to why I asked you to write an application, and why you have not received any reward for developing the horizontal lathe? And both Old Nie and I were promoted because of you!"

"Director Yang, I have never thought about these things!"

Zhou Tian listened to Director Yang's words, and his mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't admit it. However, when he saw Director Yang looking at him with a half-smile, he began to avoid his gaze.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Do you know why Lao Nie went to the Logistics Department? In fact, he made room for you. Originally, everyone discussed and decided to transfer you from an eighth-level worker to an eighth-level technician, and appoint you as the deputy chief of the technical department, but Lao Nie disagreed!"

"He said that your skills are better than his, and he doesn't want to occupy the position of the head of the technical department by relying on his seniority. So under Lao Nie's argument, everyone finally unanimously decided to appoint you as the deputy head of the technical department first. However, due to your lack of experience and the fact that you have not yet joined the organization, your level can only be promoted to the section level first. After half a year, when you pass the assessment, we will find a way to promote you to deputy section. As for Lao Nie, he will serve as the section chief concurrently for a maximum of two years, and he will not interfere in the technical department. The reason why he serves as the section chief concurrently is to reserve a position for you, so next, you have to work hard!"

Director Yang said this, looking at him with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

After listening to what Director Yang said, Zhou Tian finally understood why Director Yang and his colleagues were promoted, but his reward had not come. It turned out that he was waiting for him here.

He also didn't expect that Director Yang and his colleagues were so courageous that they allowed him, a worker, to be promoted directly from a senior worker to the deputy section chief of the technical department. Obviously, this section chief position was also reserved for him.

Although his salary was only at the section level, he was already considered to be part of the establishment. Moreover, if he was promoted to deputy section chief in half a year, he would be considered the youngest deputy section chief.

But thinking about the characteristics of this era, he shook his head again.

Then he thought that Technician Nie was willing to give up his position as head of the technical department and go to the logistics department for him, and he couldn't help feeling touched.

"Director, can Technician Nie stay in the Technical Department instead of leaving?"

Thinking of all the help Nie Guodong had given him since he developed the horizontal lathe, he couldn't help but feel sincerely grateful, and naturally didn't want Technician Nie to go to logistics.

"Master Zhou, you have to know that if Technician Nie doesn't go to the Logistics Department, then you may not be able to become the section chief. You have to think it through!"

After hearing Zhou Tian's words, Director Yang's eyes changed when he looked at him, and the admiration in his eyes became even stronger. After all, no one would be willing to associate with a person who knows how to repay a favor. On the contrary, if Zhou Tian agreed directly, he would be quite disappointed with Zhou Tian.

"I've thought it through. I want Technician Nie to stay!"

Zhou Tian said without hesitation, his eyes full of sincerity.
