Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

"Hey, a machine tool in the second fitter workshop is broken. Our steel rolling mill cannot repair it. Whether we find someone from abroad or engineers from other factories to repair it, it will be time-consuming and costly. But we have no choice. That's why I'm worried."

Li Tianyi was about to speak when he heard hurried footsteps outside the door, "Engineer Zhang, is Engineer Zhang here?"

Director Yang's voice came from far away. When he got closer, he saw Li Tianyi and Director Li were also here. Zhang Song also greeted Director Yang, "Director, I have taken people to check it just now, but no problems were found. Engineer Li was also asking about this just now. I was just about to take Engineer Li to check it out."

Director Yang's expression changed from gloomy to relaxed. He also wanted to see the ability of this young man Li Tianyi, so he looked at Li Tianyi.

"Director Yang, let's go now, don't waste time."

"Okay, let's go now." Director Yang admired Li Tianyi's courage, so he took the lead in walking out of the office building.

When everyone arrived at Workshop 2, the workshop director was already waiting at the door. Director Yang didn't waste any time and directly asked him to take them to the broken machine tool.

The workshop director did not dare to delay and hurriedly led the way. At this time, the workers in the workshop also stopped their work and looked at everyone.

Li Youde in the crowd saw his son walking with the factory director, and the factory director even affectionately called his son "Engineer Li", which made Li Youde feel very proud.

Director Yang and his team arrived at the machine tool. Li Tianyi didn't waste any time and started inspecting the machine tool.

This is a very old machine tool that has been eliminated by Big Brother. Li Tianyi has the information about this machine tool in his mind, so it is very easy for him to repair it.

Li Tianyi asked Zhang Song and others to help him place the disassembled parts on the ground nearby, and then he continued to dismantle the parts.

Finally, Li Tianyi discovered that a part of the machine tool was severely worn and could no longer be used. So Li Tianyi held up the part and asked, "Director Yang, can you check if we have this part? This machine tool cannot be used because of it."

Zhang Song and several technicians who were studying nearby suddenly realized that this was the problem.

Director Yang took the part and looked at Li Huaide and Zhang Song, "Director Li, Section Chief Zhang, do you have this part?"

The two shook their heads at the same time, and then Li Huaide said: "We need to apply to our superiors for this thing. I don't know if our country has this in stock."

Director Yang is very worried now. He cannot leave this machine tool idle all the time, otherwise the workload by the end of the year will not be completed.

Seeing this, Li Tianyi had no choice but to think of other ways. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. "Director Yang, give me the parts and I will make one. You can continue to apply for it. The parts I made can only last for half a year."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Li. Half a year is enough time." Director Yang quickly handed the parts to Li Tianyi.

Li Tianyi came to a good machine tool and started making parts according to the data in his mind.

Half an hour later, the parts were finally made. Li Tian handed the parts to Zhang Song and asked him to measure the error. Zhang Song and the technicians began to check the parts.

"Director Yang, Mr. Li's parts have an error of only 0.0001, which fully meets the requirements of the machine tool."

"Okay, let's install it and try it out." Director Yang was very happy. Their steel rolling mill had a new treasure.

This time, Li Tianyi did not do it himself, but instead stood by and guided Zhang Song and the technicians to assemble the machine.

Several people were very grateful to Li Tianyi. You know how difficult it is to get guidance from a good engineer.

In the past, engineers who came to their factory to repair machines would be driven out of the workshop before they would take action, because they were afraid that you would steal their skills. Although this made everyone very unhappy, the superiors could not do anything to you.

After the machine was installed, Li Tianyi went forward to check it, and then asked the workers to power on the machine.

The machine started up with a rumbling sound, and everyone cheered with joy. A worker nearby took a piece of steel and started operating it, and soon a part was made.

At this point, everyone knew that the machine had been completely repaired. The factory leaders smiled from ear to ear and looked at Li Tianyi with more friendliness. This saved their factory tens of thousands of dollars in repair costs.

Director Yang waved his hand to ask everyone to be quiet, then introduced Li Tianyi's identity to everyone. Li Tianyi nodded to the people around him. His father's silly smile in the crowd also amused Li Tianyi.

Li Huaide had been paying attention to Li Tianyi's gaze. When he saw Li Tianyi's gaze lingering in one direction, Li Huaide also looked over and saw a dark-skinned middle-aged man grinning there.

This should be Li Tianyi’s father, but I don’t know if this is my younger brother.

Afterwards, Director Yang led a group of factory leaders back to the office. It was almost noon now. Director Yang had already asked his secretary to go to the cafeteria and asked Sha Zhu to prepare a reception meal. He wanted to give Li Tianyi a good welcome at noon today.

Soon, the secretary informed everyone that the food was ready. Director Yang took the lead and led everyone to the reception room of the second canteen, and then everyone began to eat and chat.

Originally, Director Yang wanted to invite Li Tianyi's father as well, but was stopped by Li Tianyi, who thought it would have a bad influence.

After lunch, several people drank a lot and were a little drunk. Of course, Li Tianyi was pretending. Every time he drank the wine, he would absorb it into the space. So although Li Tianyi's face looked red, he actually didn't drink much.

Of course, when Director Yang and his companions walked out of the cafeteria, Sha Zhu and Xu Damao in the cafeteria both saw Li Tianyi walking with the director.

A few days ago, they were still laughing at Li Tianyi for going to college for nothing and not even having a job, but now they saw him chatting and laughing with the factory director, and the factory director's attitude towards him also revealed a sense of intimacy.

The two men hurriedly began to inquire about Li Tianyi's situation. A worker from the second workshop passed by and told them that he was Mr. Li, a new engineer at the steel rolling mill.

Sha Zhu and Xu Damao were completely dumbfounded. No wonder the Li family didn't come out to explain. It turned out that they simply didn't bother to argue with them.

Li Tianyi followed Director Yang to his office. Director Yang took out a dozen tickets from the drawer and handed them to Li Tianyi. "Tianyi, there is a bicycle ticket and a sewing ticket in here. The others are candy tickets, snack tickets and so on. Consider them as your rewards for today. Go back and buy a bicycle later. You have earned a lot this month. You can't walk to work every day."

Li Tianyi took the bill and thanked him: "Thank you, Director. I will work harder in the future."

"Okay, go back quickly. By the way, if you haven't divided up your house, you can go find Director Li and ask him to help you sort it out. Then you can officially start work tomorrow."

Li Tianyi said goodbye to Director Yang and went to Li Huaide.
