Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

"It's nothing, go to sleep!"

Zhou Tian stroked Shen Yulin's hair in his arms with one hand and said casually.

Although he doted on his wife in every way, he did not want to tell her these things. After all, there were many things she should not know, especially when it came to sensitive topics. He hoped that she would just be the mother of the child whom he had always protected under his wings.

"All right!"

Shen Yulin did not ask any further questions after hearing this. She felt that if her husband needed her to know, he would definitely tell her. Since her husband did not want to say it, she did not want to ask any more questions.

There was no conversation that night, and in the blink of an eye, it was already bright outside.

Although it is almost March, the weather is still cold.

Riding a bicycle onto the street, the biting cold wind was no less than that in early winter.

Zhou Tian was wearing a cotton coat and kicking his feet, but even with his physique, his hands were still numb from the cold.

He rode straight to the research institute, pushed the bike into the carport, and walked quickly to the office. Only then did he feel a little warmer. After he stretched his body, he sat in a chair and began to deal with the daily documents of the research institute.

After signing several documents and asking Liu Yuan to deliver them to Zhang Mingzhi, he took out the drawings from the drawer and continued drawing.

According to his original estimate, he would be able to complete the drawings of the first-generation lithography machine in a dozen days, but he did not expect that the matters at the automobile factory would delay him for a few days, which resulted in the time for drawing the drawings being pushed back a few more days.

However, he has become accustomed to it. Even if it is postponed for a few days, it will not affect anything, so he does not care.

"Dean, this is the appointment letter for the Dean's Assistant that we agreed on last time. Would you like to sign it first?"

While Zhou Tian was immersed in drawing, Zhang Mingzhi came to the office and handed him the documents.

"So fast?"

When Zhou Tian heard Zhang Mingzhi's voice, he was stunned for a moment, then he picked up the document on the table and started reading. Sure enough, the content on it was what the three of them had discussed. After reading it, he didn't find any problems. He picked up the pen and "swish!" signed his name on it, then handed it to Zhang Mingzhi.

"Lao Zhang, let them take up their posts as soon as possible. The mission above cannot be delayed. Besides, this is also an opportunity for our research institute. We must seize it!"

If it weren't for Minister Xie's guarantee yesterday, Zhou Tian wouldn't have been so anxious, but now that the minister has spoken, they naturally need to complete the handover procedures as soon as possible and get the car factory into production as soon as possible.

After all, the earlier a car factory's car is launched on the market, the more important the position of their research institute will be.

"Okay, Dean, I will try to get them in place as soon as possible. I'll be leaving now!"

Zhang Mingzhi nodded to Zhou Tian, ​​turned around with the documents and left the office.

After watching Zhang Mingzhi leave, Zhou Tian lowered his head again and started drawing again.

When the lunch bell rang, Zhou Tian couldn't help rubbing his sore wrist, stopped, and looked up to see Liu Yuan holding his lunch box and about to leave.

"Xiao Liu, wait, you don't need to get me food today. I'll go to the cafeteria to eat by myself later!"

"Well, Dean, in that case, I'll go eat first!"

After hearing what the dean said, Liu Yuan did not insist any longer. He put the lunch box back to its place, said something, and left the office towards the cafeteria.

After Zhou Tian had tidied up everything on his desk, he picked up his lunch box, walked straight out of the administrative building and headed towards the cafeteria.

As he walked along, he saw many workers gathering towards the canteen one after another. He had forgotten when he last saw this scene. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, he felt as if he had been separated from the masses of workers for a long time.

When I arrived at the cafeteria, I saw a sea of ​​workers queuing in an orderly manner. Of course, the number of workers was a lot less than before.

"The dean is here!"

"Dean!"

As Zhou Tian walked into the cafeteria, the workers who were queuing saw him and greeted him with smiles.

"Hello to you too!"

Zhou Tian responded with a smile to the workers.

"Dean, do you want to get some food? Otherwise, please line up in front of me!"

At this time, several workers saw the dean walking to the back and couldn't help but invite him. As they spoke, they stepped back and revealed their position.

"Yes, Dean, you can just stand in front of me!"

Seeing the actions of several workers, the workers in front also followed suit and spoke up.

"Okay, okay, everyone line up properly. I'll stand at the end! Cutting in line is not allowed!"

When Zhou Tian saw the workers in line starting to get agitated, he immediately waved his hand to reject everyone's invitation and stood directly at the end of the line. Compared with the workers who were tired after a morning of work, he didn't think there was anything special about his meal.

After all, he sits in an office and is not tired, so he naturally would not do such things. He does not mind having some privileges, but he does not want his privileges to be built on the basis of harming the interests of workers.

Even if it's just a small thing, it's true.

"hey-hey!"

Seeing the dean's humility, the people in the queue in front suddenly looked at each other, smiled in tacit understanding, walked out of the line, and went straight to the end and stood behind Zhou Tian.

"Hey? What are you doing?"

Seeing the actions of several people, Zhou Tian instantly understood what they meant. Just as he was about to say a few words of persuasion, he saw the group of workers in front of him also imitated the actions of the previous few people, holding their lunch boxes and walking to the end to line up again.

As more and more workers joined in, in a blink of an eye, the food window in front was empty, which made Zhou Tian really laugh and cry.

Well, since everyone was so kind, he could only walk straight to the window and hand the lunch box to the chef, "One portion of cabbage, one portion of tofu, and three steamed buns!"

"Okay, Dean, please wait a moment!"

When the chef saw that it was the dean himself who came to serve the food, he immediately took the lunch box with a smile, picked up the spoon and scooped a full portion of cabbage and tofu for Zhou Tian, ​​filling the entire lunch box. It seemed that if his lunch box was not big enough, the chef would have wanted to scoop the whole pot of vegetables into his lunch box.

"Alright, that's enough! That's enough!"

Seeing that the lunch box was almost full, Zhou Tian hurriedly stopped them.

After hearing the dean's dissuasion, the chef put down his spoon, picked out the three largest steamed buns, put them on the lunch box and handed them to him.

"Dean, your meal!"

Zhou Tian took the lunch box with a wry smile on his face. To be honest, it was not that he had not been to the cafeteria and had gotten food before, but this was the first time he had gotten such a full meal.

But after all, it was the other party's intention, so Zhou Tian didn't know what to say. He could only take the lunch box to an empty table with a helpless smile and start eating.

It has to be said that even though these dishes are not very oily, after being cooked by the master chef, the taste is still better than that of many restaurants outside. They are refreshing and delicious. However, if he wants to eat them for a long time, he would rather decline.

After dinner, Zhou Tian washed the lunch box and walked out of the cafeteria carrying it.

When the workers around saw the dean leave, there was a sudden loud bang in the cafeteria, and many workers began to excitedly discuss the scene of the dean queuing up just now.

"Hahaha, didn't you see the bewildered expression on the dean's face at that time? It was so funny!"

"Yeah, I'm afraid the dean doesn't even know we would do this. But to be honest, if it weren't for the dean, many of us wouldn't even be able to get a house! And we wouldn't have such high welfare benefits!"

"That's right. I hope the dean can lead our institute to reach new heights and achieve greater success, and give us a place to live. After all, the dozen or so residential buildings are not enough!"

"Don't worry, the dean is so kind to us, I believe it will happen, and you know that the 48 residential buildings will be completed soon!"
