"Why, Director?"

Zhou Tian didn't say anything, but looked straight at Director Yang and asked.

He is not stupid. Although every word Director Yang said just now makes sense, and perhaps to most people, there is nothing wrong with what he said, but how could he not hear that this is just an excuse from Director Yang.

The real reason must be something else.

However, he couldn't figure out the reason that could make a department-level factory director willing to give up the credit for the cylindrical grinder and stop him from continuing his research.

"This...Xiaotian, I don't understand what you are talking about?"

Under Zhou Tian's gaze, Director Yang began to look around.

"Director, I understand!"

After looking at Director Yang for a long while, he smiled, turned around and left Director Yang's office without saying anything else.

"Hey!"

Director Yang was about to raise his hand to stop him, but he swallowed the words back. He could only sigh helplessly and let Zhou Tian leave.

He knew that with Zhou Tian's departure, the close cooperation between him and Zhou Tian would never be restored. Thinking of this, he slammed the table hard.

"Oh, fuck Big Brother!"

After leaving Director Yang's office, Zhou Tian's face suddenly became ugly again. At this moment, he walked silently on the way to the technical department, feeling particularly heavy-hearted.

In fact, although Director Yang was distracted just now, Zhou Tian was able to guess some clues.

The fact that Director Yang could do this without being told explicitly showed that this was a request from their superiors. Although he did not know why his superiors wanted to do this, when he thought about the aid that Big Brother would give to our country next year, he had a vague guess.

Perhaps the superior leaders had other considerations, or perhaps they were afraid that the machine tool incident would be exposed. In short, his idea of ​​rapidly promoting domestic industrial development might be dashed in the future.

Although he understood it, he still felt a little disappointed when his research on machine tools was interrupted so directly and rudely.

After returning to the office and closing the door, Zhou Tian sat down on the chair feeling powerless and began to daydream.

Once upon a time, he also had such worries, so he has always been cautious in his research. But now, when he finally has the backup of the military and is planning to do a big thing, he is hit hard.

Of course, he also knew that there was nothing wrong with his superiors doing this, and he was not wrong either. The only mistake was that they were too weak and that they had no right to object at all.

There is no right to say no to Big Brother.

As he thought, he suddenly started to tear down the corner of his eye, sparkling in the sunlight.

With his eyes closed, Zhou Tian didn’t even know what he was thinking, nor did he know what to do next. For a moment, he was even a little confused.

Although he knew that Big Brother's support for my country's construction was not a bad thing fundamentally, and it was a great contribution to the construction of a complete industrial system in my country, for some reason, he just wanted to cry.

"Boom boom boom!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Zhou Tian wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, slowly calmed down, and then said: "Come in!"

As the office door opened, Nie Guodong walked in from outside. Looking at Zhou Tian sitting on the chair, he sighed and sat down opposite Zhou Tian.

"What's wrong? Did you get treated unfairly by Director Yang?"

"No, how could it be?"

Zhou Tian forced a smile, deliberately revealing a hint of relief in his tone.

"Okay, don't hide it from me. We already know everything about you!"

"what?"

Zhou Tian was shocked when he heard what Nie Guodong said. He looked at Nie Guodong and asked in disbelief, "Section Chief, you mean!"

Nie Guodong nodded, as if confirming what Zhou Tian was thinking.

"Since you are busy with other things during this period, I don't want to disturb you. The obstruction of your cylindrical grinder is not only the intention of Director Yang. You should be aware of this. It is also the intention of several factory leaders!"

"I think you should know why this happened?"

Zhou Tian nodded silently after hearing this. As expected, he knew that this was the idea of ​​the leaders above. Although Nie Guodong did not explain it, how could he not know that so many leaders in the factory could come together to hinder the progress of the cylindrical grinder, how could it be possible for Director Yang alone to stop it?

Seeing that Zhou Tian seemed to understand what he meant, Nie Guodong said, "Don't blame Director Yang. In fact, he has no choice. Individuals are always insignificant in the face of the general trend. In the torrent of history, not only you, but even the entire steel rolling mill is just one of the ones being crushed. What's more, this is not a bad thing for you, our factory, or even the entire country, right?"

Zhou Tian had to admit that Nie Guodong seemed to have a thorough understanding of the whole matter. Even if he didn't want to admit it, he had to say that what Nie Guodong said was indeed right.

His experience in his previous life made him realize how far-reaching the impact this incident would have on the entire country, and how much benefit it would bring to the country's industrial development.

These benefits cannot be achieved by him alone. Thinking of this, his heart completely calmed down. Indeed, as long as the country develops well, personal gains and losses are sometimes not important.

"Section Chief, how will the factory arrange for me in the future?"

Since he can no longer develop new machine tools or industrial equipment before Big Brother withdraws, he estimates that his position as the director of the technical department will not be so easy.

"What? Are you ready to give up?"

Seeing that Zhou Tian was completely relieved, Nie Guodong couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Chief, please stop teasing me. I know that the reason I was able to take the position of Director of the Technical Department was because of the research and development of machine tools. But now that I can no longer develop new machine tools, if I continue to sit in this position, won't I become a thorn in the eyes of many people?"

Zhou Tian's political wisdom is a little lacking, but that doesn't mean he can't see through the power struggle in the factory. Although on the surface Director Yang does control the production and logistics of the factory, he is not completely independent.

The position of director of the technical department is a bit useless, especially without the support of the factory director, but it is still a department-level position after all. Although the real power is not great, the level is still there.

It is impossible that the factory leaders have no ideas about the position under him.

"Don't worry about this. Although many leaders in the factory have united to suppress the technical department, it does not mean that your position is something they can covet. The superiors will not let them do this. Besides, you are not without support in the factory. At least, I will stand by you!"

As he spoke, Nie Guodong blinked at him.

Zhou Tian was amused by Nie Guodong's actions and said with a smile: "Section Chief, don't forget that I am now at the same level as you. Can you still be my backer?"

"Are you saying that I am of low rank and unworthy of being your backer?"

Nie Guodong could naturally understand what Zhou Tian meant when he heard this. He couldn't help feeling unhappy and pretended to be angry.

"How dare I? Section Chief, you are my former superior. How dare I say that? I am just telling the truth!"

Zhou Tian said that for some reason, after a conversation with Nie Guodong, his mood completely recovered. At least now he knew that in the factory, the section chief and the factory director had not given up on him, and that was enough.

However, as he was recovering, he felt an inexplicable feeling arise in him, an ambition to no longer be influenced by others and to control his own destiny!

This feeling of ambition is so strong and so hot.
