Siheyuan: I, an ordinary resident, the king of chefs

The factory manager explained, “This is a national project that requires the most advanced technology and the best talents. We hope that you can serve as the technical leader of the project.”

Zhang Liang took a deep breath. This was a great challenge, but also a great opportunity to show his ability. He agreed without hesitation, "Director, I am willing to accept this challenge."

Therefore, Zhang Liang devoted himself to the project. He led the team to overcome technical difficulties one after another and finally completed the task successfully. The success of the project not only contributed to the country, but also made Zhang Liang's position in the industry more solid.

During his time at the Nanluoguxiang pliers factory, Zhang Liang's diligence and talent were gradually recognized by everyone. Every morning, he was always the first to arrive at the workshop and the last to leave at night. Zhang Liang knew that only by continuous efforts could he realize his dream.

One day, Zhang Liang was concentrating on repairing a precision instrument in the workshop when Liu Haizhong suddenly appeared behind him.

"Zhang Liang, there is a party tonight. All the workers are going. You should come too." Liu Haizhong patted Zhang Liang's shoulder and said with a smile.

Zhang Liang put down the tools in his hands and wiped the sweat off his face. "Uncle Liu, I'm afraid I still have some work to do tonight."

Liu Haizhong shook his head. "Young man, work is important, but you also need to relax. Besides, this party is to celebrate you."

Zhang Liang was slightly stunned. "Celebrate for me? What do I have to celebrate?"

Liu Haizhong laughed, "You don't know yet, do you? The precision instrument you repaired has passed the quality inspection, and the leaders are full of praise for you."

Zhang Liang was very excited when he heard this, but he remained humble and said, "Uncle Liu, this is all thanks to everyone. I just did what I should do."

Liu Haizhong looked at Zhang Liang with admiration in his eyes, "Your attitude is right. But you must come tonight, everyone is waiting for you."

Zhang Liang nodded, his heart full of gratitude. He knew that he could not have come this far without the support and help of his fellow workers.

In the evening, the party was held in the canteen of the clamp factory. The workers had prepared the venue early, the table was filled with delicious food, and the atmosphere was warm.

Qin Huairu also came with her children and said to Zhang Liang with a smile: "Zhang Liang, you are our pride. Relax tonight and don't think about work anymore."

Zhang Liang smiled, feeling warm in his heart, "Thank you, Sister Huairu. You have been so busy during this period."

At this moment, the factory director came over with a glittering medal in his hand. He walked up to Zhang Liang and said solemnly, "Little Zhang Liang, this is a special award that our pliers factory has prepared for you to recognize your outstanding performance at work."

Zhang Liang was stunned. He took the medal with tears in his eyes. "Director, I... I just did my job. I never expected to receive such an honor."

The factory director patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You deserve this honor. I hope you will continue to work hard and make more contributions to the factory."

Fellow workers applauded, and Zhang Liang stood in the middle of them, his heart filled with gratitude and determination. He knew that he still had a long way to go, but with this support and encouragement, he would definitely go further.

The party lasted until late at night, and everyone was immersed in a joyful atmosphere. Zhang Liang and his co-workers toasted and drank, talking about the future. Qin Huairu's children played nearby, laughing and talking.

Yan Bugui said to Zhang Liang with a smile: "Zhang Liang, you are really a good boy. We all thought you could achieve great things. Now it seems that you have not disappointed us."

Zhang Liang looked at Yan Bugui gratefully, "Uncle Yan, thank you for your support."

At this time, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu also came over. They have always admired Zhang Liang. Liu Guangtian said: "Zhang Liang, you are a role model for us young people. We will also learn from you in the future."

Liu Guangfu nodded in agreement, "Yes, in the future we should also work hard like Zhang Liang and strive to succeed as soon as possible."

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Thank you for your compliments. In fact, as long as everyone works hard, they can realize their dreams."

After the party, Zhang Liang returned to his hut and lay on the bed, his mind full of thoughts. Today's honor and award made him deeply feel everyone's support and expectations. He knew that the responsibility on his shoulders was heavier, but he was not afraid because he had confidence and courage.

A few days later, Zhang Liang received an important task from the factory. The factory received a large project and needed to send a skilled fitter to participate in the project.

The factory manager found Zhang Liang and said, "Little Zhang Liang, we have received an important project and need to send you to participate in another place. This task is difficult, but I believe you can do it."

Zhang Liang took a deep breath and nodded firmly, "Director, I am willing to accept this task."

So, Zhang Liang embarked on a new journey with the expectations of the factory. He knew that this mission was not only a test of his skills, but also a test of his will.

During his time away from home, Zhang Liang faced difficulties one after another, but he never backed down. He left home early and returned late every day, overcoming various technical difficulties with his fellow workers. Despite the harsh environment, Zhang Liang always maintained an optimistic attitude.

One night, Zhang Liang was sorting out documents in his dormitory when he suddenly received a call from Qin Huairu. Her voice was filled with worry, "Zhang Liang, how is your work in the field? Are you okay?"

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Sister Huairu, I'm fine. Although the work here is hard, it is also very fulfilling."

Qin Huairu sighed, "Child, you are always so strong. Remember to take good care of yourself and don't let yourself get too tired."

Zhang Liang nodded, "Don't worry, Sister Huairu. I will be careful. You should also take care of yourselves at home."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Liang felt warm in his heart. He knew that the neighbors in the courtyard had been paying attention to him and supporting him. This love and care filled him with motivation every day in a foreign land.

As time went by, Zhang Liang and his co-workers finally completed this large-scale project. The success of the project not only won honor for the factory, but also made Zhang Liang's position in the industry more solid.

When Zhang Liang returned to Sijiucheng, he was warmly welcomed. His fellow workers held a grand celebration for him, and everyone was proud of his success.

The factory director solemnly announced at the celebration, "Little Zhang Liang, because of your outstanding performance, the factory has decided to award you the title of 'Excellent Employee' and give you a special award."

Zhang Liang stood on the stage, holding the trophy, tears in his eyes, "Thank you everyone, thank you Director. This honor belongs not only to me, but also to all those who have supported and helped me."

After the celebration, Zhang Liang returned to the courtyard, and neighbors came to congratulate him. Yan Bugui said with a smile: "Zhang Liang, you are really a good boy. This time you have made our courtyard head proud."

Qin Huairu also smiled and said, "Zhang Liang, you are our pride. You must work harder in the future."

Although the deaf old lady couldn't hear clearly, she smiled with satisfaction when she saw the trophy in Zhang Liang's hand. She patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder.

Zhang Liang looked at everyone with gratitude, his heart full of determination.

That night, Zhang Liang sat in the courtyard of the quadrangle for a long time, looking at the starry sky, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

As time went by, Zhang Liang's position in the pliers factory became higher and higher. Not only did he continue to improve his skills, he also became the backbone of the factory. More and more young people began to learn from him, and Zhang Liang generously passed on his experience and knowledge.

One day, the factory director found Zhang Liang again and said, "Little Zhang Liang, our factory has received a bigger project and needs you to be the technical director."

Zhang Liang was slightly startled. This task was a greater challenge for him, but he agreed without hesitation, "Director, I am willing to accept this challenge."

So Zhang Liang and his team started a new journey. They overcame technical difficulties one after another and finally completed the project successfully.

Zhang Liang's name became more and more famous in the industry. He was not only the pride of the pliers factory, but also the pride of the city. More and more people began to learn from him.

When the news of Zhang Liang's arrival at the steel mill spread in the courtyard, everyone was happy for him. However, Zhang Liang's promotion speed in the steel mill caused some waves. He was directly promoted to the eighth-level fitter, which meant that he was on the same level as Yi Zhonghai, who had 30 years of work experience, which made Yi Zhonghai feel a little annoyed.

On the first day Zhang Liang arrived at the steel mill, he was assigned some important tasks. He carefully inspected the equipment and skillfully operated the tools, quickly winning the recognition of his fellow workers. But he knew in his heart that Yi Zhonghai's attitude was a problem that needed to be faced.

One day, Zhang Liang was busy in the workshop, and Yi Zhonghai came over. His expression seemed a little serious, "Zhang Liang, come with me."

Zhang Liang put down the tools in his hands and followed Yi Zhonghai to the side. He felt a little nervous, but remained calm, "Master Yi, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Yi Zhonghai looked at Zhang Liang with a little dissatisfaction in his tone, "Little Zhang Liang, do you know? I worked in this factory for 30 years before I was promoted to the eighth-level fitter. And you just came here and you are at the same level as me."

Zhang Liang felt uncomfortable, but he tried to calm himself down. "Master Yi, I know you are unhappy. But this is not my decision. I just try my best to do my job well."

Yi Zhonghai was silent for a while, and finally sighed, "Zhang Liang, I'm not targeting you. It's just... I'm a little dissatisfied with the factory's decision. I hope you can understand."

Zhang Liang nodded, grateful for Yi Zhonghai's frankness, "Master Yi, I understand how you feel. In fact, I don't want this to affect our relationship. I hope we can work together and make progress together."
