Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

Faced with all this, even though he was full of unhappiness, Sha Zhu could only force himself to smile for the sake of his family's reputation. However, his efforts were not recognized. When this depressing New Year came, Sha Zhu's helplessness was hard to describe - he had given so much, why was he still treated coldly? When he passed a little food to Xu Damao to show his sympathy, his mood fell to the bottom again.

In contrast, Xu Damao, who recently came to his senses and realized that he had lost all his money, not only fell into deep regret, but also felt lost about the future. The money he lost during the gambling incident can never be recovered. Now he can only live under the eaves of others. Xu Damao sometimes has thoughts of committing suicide, but he cannot take action due to various concerns.

After taking the dinner handed to him by Sha Zhu, Xu Damao said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Sha Zhu. I didn't realize until the end that you are really a good person." He reflected on his past lifestyle and choices. Although he had countless wealth and social status, in the end, when he needed it most, the only one who really stood up was Sha Zhu, the relative who was once looked down upon by him.

Xu Damao was full of grievances, thinking that people ignored him because they looked down on him. He worked hard at the table, chewing, hoping to find a new job by strengthening his physical strength. At this time, Sha Zhu sat on the edge of the bed, shaking his head and sighing.

Now, he is once again lost in memories of the good old days, and the days he spent at the Red Star Steel Mill make him feel emotional. Life was so happy back then! Not only could he bring back meals prepared by the factory, but he could also enjoy a stable income and a worry-free life. But all this is a thing of the past, and has nothing to do with Sha Zhu now. Every time he thinks back, he feels more regretful - why did he lose that stable job? How could things have developed to this point today? Sha Zhu looks at Xu Damao eating, and his heart is filled with regret. If time could go back, he would definitely work hard and continue to struggle in that factory.

Even so, these were nothing more than his illusory dreams. Since he had chosen to stand on Qin Huairu's side, he was destined to not gain any benefit from such a choice. After the Spring Festival, as the festive atmosphere gradually faded, the steel mill resumed its daily busy scene.

After a well-rested holiday, many workers voluntarily returned to work with full enthusiasm to make up for the time they rested at home and once again feel the honor of being a member of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

During this process, when they mentioned that they were part of a steel mill, they always attracted the envy of others. For example, Zhang Fugui, one of the ordinary workers on the assembly line, returned to his hometown after a long absence and unexpectedly found that his relatives and friends paid more attention to his work than he expected. Especially when he mentioned that his work unit was the Red Star Steel Mill, everyone's interest was immediately ignited.

An old woman with dim eyesight and almost no teeth asked in a trembling voice: "I heard that your factory director has shown his magical powers. Even foreign countries are buying our steel! Have you met the director?" In response to the old woman's question, Zhang Fugui smiled and replied: "Of course I have. The director is not only handsome, but also a very outstanding person."

Hearing this, everyone's interest grew even stronger. Some even asked curiously, "There are rumors that your factory director is a highly gifted student who is over two meters tall and can't even eat a cow. Is this true?" Zhang Fugui couldn't help but smile, "Of course this is exaggerated. It's not true."

Then someone asked curiously, "I heard that your factory's monthly profit is very high, and the monthly salary of workers is comparable to what an average family earns in a year. Is that true?" Zhang Fugui replied shyly, "Although it's not as exaggerated as the rumors say, I do have a very good income every month."

Hearing this, everyone around them showed envy, and many people thought that if possible, they would also like to become one of them, but due to various restrictions, they could not do so. So they just envied and sighed at Zhang Fugui's good luck, because his family supported his studies when he was young, and he found a well-paid job in the steel mill when he grew up.

Similar situations are also happening in many other families. When people learn that the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill offers excellent treatment, they will not hesitate to ask the employees who go home for the New Year for information.

Faced with the curious questions from the crowd, most 737 employees were happy to share their ideas. For them, the improvement in their lives now is attributed to Suchen's arrival. The work on the production line not only makes their days fulfilling and motivated, but also makes them feel that they are working hard for their own future.

During this period, they chose to extend their working hours spontaneously, not because of Suchen's request. Even though the factory stipulates that the maximum working time per day should not exceed eight hours, it seems to pass in the blink of an eye for the enthusiastic workers. Even if extra overtime opportunities are provided, the factory does not encourage overwork, and supervisors often recommend that everyone get enough rest so that they can better devote themselves to the work of the next day.

But the attraction of this job is irresistible. People are no longer satisfied with simple rest and are eager to do more and earn more. Since Su Chen took office as the director, the working environment of Red Star Steel Rolling Mill has improved day by day, so workers are more willing to do more. In the past, the amount of work in the group seemed to have little effect on the results, but now everyone is witnessing the improvement of their quality of life with their actual actions.

As time went by, the workers missed their days in the factory more and more. After getting used to the factory rhythm, they felt uncomfortable even going home for the holidays. Mentioning the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill at family gatherings aroused their deep nostalgia for factory life. Feeling the respectful eyes of the people around them, many workers felt extremely proud to contribute to such a good factory. Therefore, many workers were eager to return to their posts and continue their work before the New Year holiday was over.

For an excellent industrial entity like the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, the recognition and support of the workers are particularly valuable, motivating them to work with greater enthusiasm. At the same time, at the Institute of Special Metals, the researchers also returned to work with full enthusiasm and quickly achieved an important result.

Before the New Year, everyone was stepping up their experiments, but they never expected that good news would come when they resumed work for the first time after the holiday. After repeated verification by the scientific research team to ensure that everything was correct, they could not hide their joy and hurriedly reported it to Assistant Zhang. After receiving the news, Assistant Zhang quickly contacted Su Chen, which was undoubtedly the good news he had been waiting for for a long time.

Knowing that Su Chen was on his way, everyone decided to keep quiet for the time being and report in detail after Su Chen arrived. When Su Chen stepped into the office, Assistant Zhang said excitedly: "Director Su, the good project of the Special Metals Research Institute has been successful!"

This sudden good news surprised and delighted Su Chen: "Really? What are the specific results? Take me to see."

This is not only a recognition of the Special Metals Research Institute, but also a recognition of the huge potential and value behind each of its successful projects. In particular, the speed of developing new materials this time far exceeded Su Chen's initial expectations.

As the group walked into the gate of the institute, the person in charge immediately stepped forward and reported: "Comrade Director, we have developed a new material based on titanium alloy, which has excellent shape memory and toughness properties." Su Chen praised him and said, "You are so fast, very good!"

The scientist explained with a smile: "For the same volume, this newly developed alloy is lighter than other metals."

When Su Chen heard the news, he was filled with excitement.

With this new titanium alloy, we can start developing new aircraft, rockets, and various high-tech devices!

New products were difficult to manufacture in the past, largely due to the limitations of traditional metal materials. Now that this difficulty has been overcome, it means that the manufacture of new products will be much smoother.

Su Chen seemed to have seen the emergence of a new generation of high-end products before his eyes, and his heart was filled with joy.

Then he waved his hand generously and said: "Thank you for your hard work. Every researcher involved in this project will be rewarded."

The R&D team members responsible for this titanium alloy research instantly smiled.

Just as rumors outside have it, Su Chen is indeed a person who gives generous rewards.

Many people in the team come from poor backgrounds, but they still insisted on devoting themselves to science. Now that they see that their efforts can be transformed into tangible rewards, they are extremely moved.

After a long period of hard work, their results finally saw the light of day.

Scholars from the Bear Country also sensed a change in the atmosphere.

Several Mao Xiong scholars who were familiar with these researchers asked curiously: "We will be rewarded for our achievements? It's unbelievable!"

After learning the specific reasons, these scholars also seemed very happy.

As members of a cultural system with the same roots and origins, they are accustomed to group sharing, so individual incentive mechanisms are quite unfamiliar to them. Generally speaking, these collective honors are not their turn to share.

Now they suddenly heard that there were individual rewards for individuals, which made them surprised and grateful.

Unexpectedly, not only did the living environment at the Red Star Steel Plant exceed their expectations, but even the reward mechanism was so special.

Such favorable conditions made them more determined to stay and work at Red Star Steel Plant. If they had joined earlier, perhaps they could have enjoyed such a wonderful life earlier.

At this time, Su Chen was immersed in the idea of ​​how to use this new material.

With the successful development of titanium alloy, many of his ideas became possible.

If everything goes according to plan, this will undoubtedly bring huge advantages to Su Chen himself.

Afterwards, Su Chen and Assistant Zhang went to the aircraft research and development team, where the members were working hard to perfect their design plans.
