Scholars in the courtyard

Two days later.

Yang Xiaotao got off the train, and Director Tian stood aside to say goodbye.

Although the Third Machinery Department and the Machinery Factory are both in Forty-Nine City, one is in the north and the other is in the south. There is half of Forty-Nine City between them. If you really want to take a car, it will take an hour or two to drive.

Moreover, this train station is in the west, and the three of them are like a triangle. No matter where you go, you have to walk on two more sides, so I just say goodbye at the train station to save time.

"Director Tian, ​​you have been busy all the way. Thank you very much."

Before parting, Yang Xiaotao was polite to Tian Haipeng, although the latter's follow-up this time was not of much help, and the purpose of supervision was even greater.

But after all, they were staying together for a few days, and besides, the other party had been the office director for so many years, so who would believe it if he didn't have a few skills?

Yang Xiaotao didn't want to offend such a person.

Besides, there was no conflict between the two in the first place.

It's just not allowed to be 'disassembled', not to mention that the other party still carries out the orders of the superiors.

"You're welcome, I'll gain a lot of knowledge by going out with you."

Director Tian was equally polite. The biggest asset of the young man in front of him was time.

Being young, there is room for improvement.

What the future will look like, who can say for sure.

"You're welcome, then let's say goodbye."

"Okay, I'll meet you for a drink when I have free time."

Director Tian smiled heartily, and Yang Xiaotao smiled and nodded, "Then the wine must be enough."

The two talked for a while and then went their separate ways.

Because this trip was secret, no one knew where Yang Xiaotao went except Xu Yuanshan and a few others.

Now after Yang Xiaotao gets off the bus, he can only carry a few bags and find the bus.

Hongxing Machinery Factory.

Yang Youning took the report handed over from below, came to Liu Huaimin's office, put the documents on the table, and sat down on the chair.

"I'm exhausted. Let's have a cigarette."

Seeing Yang Youning like this, Liu Huaimin didn't say much. He picked up the documents, took out the cigarette case from the drawer and threw it over. Yang Youning caught it, smoked one and lit it with a match, leaning on the chair, looking dazed.

"Old Liu, you said that we are exhausted every day. Compared with the past, it is like the heavens and the earth."

"You don't know, my waist is like this. I sit in the office all day long. At the end of the day, I feel sore all over. It's because my body and my brain are at odds. I obviously have to sit down with a batch of documents, but my body just wants you to get up and jump a few times." kind."

Yang Youning took half a cigarette in two puffs, and then sighed.

"Also, when I wash my hair these days, the hair falls out in handfuls. I guess if this continues, baldness will be inevitable in the future."

I remember when they were still in the steel rolling mill. In those days, being a factory director was really busy for at most three days a week, and two days were for socializing.

It's better now. It didn't take long for the machine shop to work, and I was exhausted.

Let alone three days a week, even having a peaceful day off on Sunday is a luxury.

What were you planning on doing in the first place?

"What's wrong, you don't want to do it anymore? That's easy to say."

"I called Mr. Xia and told him that Director Yang of the Machinery Factory had health problems."

"Hey, hey, Lao Liu, you are no longer interesting. I just complained to you twice, but you still took it seriously."

Yang Youning was speechless. It took a lot of effort to get here. No matter how tired your body is, you have to persevere.

Besides, how can you be afraid of being tired when serving the people?

"hehe."

Liu Huaimin glanced at Yang Youning and sneered. He already knew this guy's temperament.

"You're still complaining to me, can you get even half of what I have?"

As he spoke, he pointed to a pile of documents on the table, which he had just approved today.

Many of the documents inside had to be carefully reviewed, unlike Yang Youning who just casually looked at the signatures.

In particular, the matter of the distillation tower in the chemical plant is very involved, and the superiors pay no less attention to it than the machinery factory, so it needs to be reviewed carefully.

Yang Youning glanced at it, then shook his head, "That's what you should do. Who made you the secretary? If there are some things, who else should I ask if I don't ask you?"

Liu Huaimin glanced again and said nothing.

"By the way, when will the things from Jinling come?"

Yang Youning pressed the cigarette butt to death and asked.

Liu Huaimin put down his pen and said, "The train was loaded yesterday. It will take three or four days anyway."

"Well, I didn't expect that the other party is quite honest."

"This is a Morning Star. Tsk tsk. At this rate, our machinery factory will have four Morning Stars, haha."

Yang Youning felt happy when he thought of these things, and even the fatigue from work was relieved a lot.

"Do you think everyone is the same as you? If an ordinary milling machine is doing the job, let me tell you, they haven't called you yet."

Liu Huaimin did not forget to expose Yang Youning's scars.

"Come on, I was following the mission statement. What they originally wanted was a milling machine. The semi-automatic milling machine came later. Who let them, ahem, they caught up?"

Yang Youning explained, and then quickly changed the topic, "Old Liu, what do you think of the arrangement of these four Venus machines? They all produce punch machines and semi-automatic milling machines?"

"It depends on the workload."

"Amount of tasks? Do you still need to look at it?"

Liu Huaimin listened to the pen for a while, and then felt that it made sense.

Nowadays, the domestic demand for three types of machine tools from machinery factories has been scheduled until the end of the year, but it is only the end of October.

"Everything is urgent, and all kinds of tasks are fully booked. Last time I went to the second workshop to check the task status, my dear, there is a long list of requirements. This is still limited to one per family. If there is no such restriction, It is estimated that not to mention this year, even next year will be fully booked for you."

Yang Youning smiled, his expression even more proud.

The machine tools produced by today's machinery factories have opened up the market in China. Among other things, there are semi-automatic milling machines. After the use and publicity of Quancheng No. 1 Machinery Factory, the output has now tripled. Originally, Quancheng Automobile Factory still needed to outsource other machine repairs. The work of the factory is completed by each machine factory, and the parts produced are more regular, much better than those parts coming off the bench.

Just like this, more and more factories are targeting machinery factories.

There is no way, the machine tools produced by the machinery factory have caused "panic" in the domestic machinery manufacturing industry. If anyone falls behind, there will be no work.

Without tasks, how can workers receive benefits?

These days, you can support your family with your salary alone, but who wouldn’t want to live a better life?

Everyone used to be the same, but now a roll king has emerged, and the rest of the people have no choice but to follow the roll if they want to avoid being pulled down.

And this is what the bosses of the First Machinery Department like to see, otherwise they would not keep throwing random things into the machinery factory.

"Old Liu, do you want to build another lathe, grinder or something? In this way, each of the four Venus machines will have one line, which can produce exactly four types of machine tools."

Yang Youning suddenly suggested something, and Liu Huaimin just said lightly, "What do you want to tell me about this matter? Let's discuss it with Yang Xiaotao."

"It's not guaranteed. He has ready-made drawings in his hand now. You can definitely go to him."

Yang Youning clicked his tongue twice, "That's what you said. If this kid doesn't ask him, he doesn't know how many good things he has in his pocket. When he comes back, you have to ask."

"No, it's not a question, it's a request."

"This guy."

The next second, Yang Youning felt the soreness coming from his back, and said with a very serious face, "We have worked so hard here, but this guy is good, he can still go south, huh."

"When we come back this time, we must let him share the tasks. He can't keep the two of us exhausted."

As Yang Youning said, Liu Huaimin turned his head and glanced at the pile of documents on the table. Although he didn't answer, he nodded slightly.

"Okay, if you're fine, just go and tell Lao Chen. The machinery and equipment from Lao Xu's place will arrive in two days. If Xiao Tao can't come back, ask him to bring someone to help. Those petrochemical equipment must be taken care of alley."

"The higher-ups have given the green light for this matter. If this fails, the Gemini Project will be considered a squib."

As soon as Liu Huaimin finished speaking, Yang Youning stood up and said, "Old Chen will take care of Chen Bin and Zhang Guanyu again. I will talk to him when I get back."

"By the way, when will that guy Yang Xiaotao come back?"

"Based on two days, I should be back today, but I haven't heard any news. Let's talk about it later."

Liu Huaimin didn't know what the situation was and could only speak vaguely.

While the two were talking about Yang Xiaotao, there was a noise in the corridor, followed by a knock on the door.

Yang Youning stood up and opened the door, wanting to see the situation.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Yang Xiaotao appearing in front of me. I happened to look over and said, "Uncle Yang, you are here too. No one was in your office just now."

"Xiao Tao, when did you come back?"

"I will arrive at the station this afternoon and finally come back by car."

Yang Xiaotao explained while following Yang Youning into the office.

"Uncle Liu."

When Liu Huaimin saw Yang Xiaotao coming back, he stood up from his seat and said, "You came back quietly. We were still talking about you just now."

"Talking about me? What did you say about me?"

"It means when will you come back."

"Oh, the train on Tuesday morning, all the way, the sound of the train clanging in my head is all in my head now."

While complaining, Yang Xiaotao took the jar Yang Youning handed him and drank it in two gulps.

"By the way, I went to Jinling this time to play and bought some gifts. I kept them from other offices. These are for you, Uncle Liu."

As he spoke, Yang Xiaotao took out a box of Yuhuatai and handed it to Liu Huaimin.

"Yuhuatai, these cigarettes are not cheap."

"Hey, it's sixty-five cents a box. It's almost time to catch up with China."

While talking, Yang Xiaotao took out another box and handed it to Yang Youning, but Yang Youning reached out to take it and asked casually, "You also went to Jinling for a stroll?"

"Ah, why don't you go out and take a look around? Because the time is short, I haven't gone to many places."

"That Jinling, that Yangtze River Bridge built."

Then Yang Xiaotao talked about the customs and customs he had seen in Jinling.

After hearing this, Yang Youning thought that he was very busy in the office these days, but this guy was traveling in the far south and even took a boat across the Yangtze River. He was simply happy and free.

My stomach hurts.

Seeing Yang Youning like this, Liu Huaimin knew what he was thinking, and immediately asked, "How is that going?"

When it comes to business, Yang Xiaotao's face shows helplessness.

"That matter, well, it's hard to describe in words."

Then Yang Xiaotao told the general situation. Anyway, it was all the truth. Yang Xiaotao did not add any exaggeration and told the story normally.

Liu Huaimin also sighed after hearing this. It's not wrong for the other party to do this, but it would be strange if he didn't have selfish motives.

It is also a pity that Yang Xiaotao did not succeed this time. After all, this was the way of the Ministry of Machinery of the Three Machinery Department to use the favor of Huang Lao. However, he failed to obtain any benefits, so the favor was in vain.

Seeing Liu Huaimin's appearance, Yang Xiaotao was about to explain that he had found a way out, but Yang Youning on the side suddenly said something.

"So, you guys are quite relaxed there."

Yang Xiaotao didn't react for a while, but when he understood what Yang Youning said, his heart immediately rose to his throat.

Just listen to Yang Youning continue to speak, "There happen to be a few things about chemical plants and steel plants here. It just so happens that you are back, so I will leave this job to you."

After saying that, he went out.

Before leaving, I had two more packs of cigarettes in my hand.

Yang Xiaotao was stunned on the spot. When he turned back to look at Liu Huaimin, the other party handed him several documents picked out from the table.

"From now on, these things will trouble you."

When Yang Xiaotao walked back to the office with a stack of documents, he still didn't react.

"No, that's not right."

"Didn't I leave this job to Kan Yang before I left?"

"Lao Yang, you tricked me!!!"
