Scholars in the courtyard

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"For such a big thing, it's not too much to give him third-class merit."

Hearing Liu Huaimin's words, Yang Youning asked in confusion, and Chen Gong and Chen Gong were also curious.

Wang Guodong was the first to say it, and now he said it was impossible. His expression was very complicated.

"You better say it yourself."

Liu Huaimin glanced at Yang Xiaotao, and everyone looked over.

"Actually, it's nothing. I just made a corn thresher. I mentioned it at the meeting this time,"

The office was quiet for three seconds, then Yang Youning clapped his hands, and Wang Guodong even said, "In other words, it is very likely that he is a second-class meritorious worker?"

Chen Gong opened his mouth wide, his eyes full of envy.

A threshing machine is a third-class work.

Considering the current planting situation of this corn thresher, there are much more domestically grown corn threshers than wheat, so I guess a third-class machine is more than enough.

Add this up, and let the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and Mr. Chen contribute, second-class merit is a certainty.

This guy, no wonder he is said to have failed in his third-class meritorious service.

It's not that it's not good, it's that it's better.

Why does this matter sound so awkward?

Yang Xiaotao sighed and nodded, his expression suddenly a little disappointed, "Oh, I also got a lot of first-class and second-class merit, but I only got one third-class merit. I applied for it with the help of Quancheng Automobile Factory a long time ago."

"Why is this third-class skill so difficult?"

After the words fell, Yang Youning wanted to pat Yang Xiaotao on the shoulder and encourage him to keep up his efforts.

Then, the slap came down, but the intensity was doubled.

Snap!

The voice was crisp and clear, and Yang Youning felt like he had been hit by 10,000 critical blows in his heart.

Until now, he has only achieved third-class meritorious service.

What did this kid say?

Is something more valuable when it is rare?

Shouldn't it be that first-class merit is the least?

Why did he get turned upside down?

Damn it, you must be talking ironically.

I really want to slap this pretentious guy to death.

"Damn, you're showing off here."

"Lao Yang, why don't you try harder and let him show off here?"

Chen Gong was speechless on the side, obviously very stimulated.

Wang Guodong shook his head and smiled bitterly. He had also received credits, but they were all collective, and there was no such thing as worker credit.

But Yang Xiaotao is right, this third-class skill is indeed difficult to obtain.

"Just kidding, just kidding."

Yang Xiaotao saw that Yang Youning and Chen Gong were catching him and wouldn't let him go, so he repeatedly waved his hands and begged for mercy.

But everyone knew that what Yang Xiaotao said might be true.

"You kid is so dissatisfied!"

"Do you know how difficult it is to make meritorious service?"

“A typical well-fed man doesn’t know that a hungry man is hungry.”

Chen Gong was scolding at the side, but Yang Xiaotao suddenly laughed, "Uncle Chen, I really have a chance to make meritorious deeds, and if I do it well, I will be at least a third-class meritorious servicer."

"Do you want to try it?"

For a moment, Chen Gong's heart moved.

Third-class personal merit, I haven't earned any in these years.

If you can get one before retirement, you will have something to talk about in the future.

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Yang Youning immediately stared, "You kid, stop talking nonsense. Is this something you can just get?"

"Which third-class skill comes easily?"

Chen Gong reacted and looked at Yang Xiaotao with smiles in his eyes. Then he lowered his head and became wary, "Uncle Chen, I still know how much you weigh. Stop bragging about yourself."

"Oh, Uncle Chen, I really think about you, and I can really make a contribution."

"If you don't believe me, ask Secretary Liu."

Yang Xiaotao spread his hands and looked serious.

After Chen Gong and Yang Youning heard this, they immediately looked at Liu Huaimin.

Yang Xiaotao's words were sometimes unreliable, but they still believed what Liu Huaimin said.

Liu Huaimin nodded at the side, but did not speak.

Seeing this, Chen Gong immediately turned back to look at Yang Xiaotao. Just as he was about to speak, he realized something, and then smiled and said, "I'll leave this opportunity for you to make meritorious deeds. Aren't you just missing a third-class meritorious service?"

Yang Xiaotao originally thought that Chen Gong would be fooled, but he didn't want to blame it directly on his side.

What an old fox.

Yang Youning also reacted and looked at Yang Xiaotao with squinted eyes, "Yes, who said just now that there were too few third-class skills? Why did you push the opportunity away again this time?"

"There's something wrong with you, kid."

Yang Xiaotao laughed, "Well, the sample still wants to take care of the old comrades. In this case, I will do it myself."

Yang Youning was too lazy to talk to Yang Xiaotao. This guy must have failed to hold his shit in, so he looked at Liu Huaimin.

"Old Liu, do you know?"

Liu Huaimin didn't want to delay any further, so he nodded, "During this meeting, because of the corn thresher Xiao Tao brought out, Mr. Chen."

When Liu Huaimin finished speaking, Yang Youning opened his mouth again.

"The third factory? Are we going to build the third factory?"

Chen Gong and Wang Guodong were also incredible.

"Yes, the Third Factory. What Mr. Chen said is probably true. It's just far away, over there in Yanzhou."

Yang Xiaotao answered affirmatively, "How about it, Uncle Chen, I didn't lie to you."

"This is the third-class factory. From beginning to end, if it is done well, it will be a third-class job at least."

Yang Xiaotao said from the side. Chen Gong glanced at it and said, "You guys don't like me. If you want me to leave, just say so."

"Oh, don't say that. Didn't I just listen to you and say that there is no third-class skill?"

"Nonsense! You can go and do it."

Chen Gong glared at Yang Xiaotao, then looked at Yang Youning, "Old Yang, you were the one who looked after the steel plant, why don't you go again this time."

"This is a third-class merit, didn't you get one last time you went there, get another one this time."

Yang Youning immediately snorted, "Don't involve me in your affairs with Yang Xiaotao."

"With my health, I almost couldn't come back last time."

"Besides, this time it's not a steel plant, it's a machinery plant. In my opinion, Old Wang can go."

Wang Guodong didn't object, but he didn't say anything.

Because he knew that the people present had no chance to go.

First of all, Yang Xiaotao, if this guy went, it would probably be a good thing for Yanzhou. He also believed that with Yang Xiaotao's ability, he could be competent and drive the development of the surrounding areas.

But this is definitely a huge loss for the machinery plant.

What's more, many projects are now led by Yang Xiaotao, and he can't leave him.

Even if he wants to go, he won't stay for long.

Next is Liu Huaimin, the secretary of the machinery factory. He is indispensable for many organizational matters.

His communication with superiors and decision-making ability on major issues are also rare. He is even more indispensable for stabilizing people's hearts.

Then there is Yang Youning. He is a good propagandist, but if he really wants to get down to the actual situation, he may not be as good as the director of the workshop.

If he goes, the position of the factory director will be vacant. No matter whether Chen Gong or he goes up, the vacant position will have to change.

What the machinery factory needs now is stability, even if it is relative stability, it must be maintained as much as possible.

Finally, it is him and Chen Gong.

Whether from selfishness or ability, both of them have reasons not to go.

As for the selection of the factory director, there is no need to think about it.

They give up the good position of the general factory director and go to be the director of a branch factory.

Even the higher-ups will not arrange it this way.

Ahem

Liu Huaimin coughed lightly, "This time the third branch is probably a done deal."

"We are still busy with the thresher, but after this is over, it will definitely be on the agenda."

"We have to prepare in advance, so we won't be in a rush and can't get it out."

Yang Youning nodded, "We do have to prepare, if the superiors need it, we have something to say."

"Of course, it would be better if the superiors have a candidate."

Chen Gong also interrupted and said, "But we can't force this matter, let's see who wants to go first."

"Moreover, strength and ability are also within the scope of consideration, we can't just let anyone go."

Several people nodded, and finally Yang Youning smiled, "Well, let's spread the word first and see who wants to make progress."

"This is a good idea, self-recommendation, we also have a choice."

In the next two days, the news that the machinery factory was going to set up the third branch came out from the office.

It soon spread throughout the machinery factory.

Many people were asking for the news. Although Yang Xiaotao and others did not come forward to explain, several secretaries gave a positive answer.

Secretary Xiaoqiang, in particular, spoke in a very clear manner, saying that it was for the construction of the Red Star Machinery Factory, that we should work hard to respond to the call, and that we should not hesitate to endure hardships for the construction of the revolution, etc.

Anyone with a brain could tell that this must be what Yang Youning said.

As for Lou Xiaoe, she was much more reserved.

She only told the news to a few sisters who were close to her in the Propaganda Department.

She said that the director of the third branch factory was likely to come from the machinery factory, and some people would be rotated to the third branch factory, which was similar to the second branch factory in the northwest.

Of course, they went there with a mission, and if they did a good job, they would not only make meritorious contributions, but also rise to the top.

Although Lou Xiaoe only told the people in the Propaganda Department, what does the Propaganda Department do? The main focus is that everyone knows it.

So the news became more and more accurate, and many people were ready to move.

Especially the workers in the workshop.

Yanzhou is better than the northwest.

The benefits obtained after one rotation are equivalent to more than a year's hard-earned money.

In this day and age, there is no such good thing except in the machinery factory.

The workers are looking forward to the implementation as soon as possible.

And those who have ideas about the position are also asking about the situation.

However, no one has come to recommend themselves so far. Yang Xiaotao and others think that it should be that the matter has not been completely settled.

If the document is issued, someone should take the initiative.

Regardless of what everyone thinks, the production of threshers in the machinery factory and the first branch factory is proceeding as usual.

The R\u0026D department is responsible for the drawings, the logistics department is responsible for the allocation of materials, and the workshop director arranges tasks.

After the last internal audit, the work in the workshop has become orderly.

Although many non-conformities are still being rectified, the problems found in the internal audit have reminded everyone that everything must be in accordance with the regulations.

If there are no regulations, then make regulations.

In this process, the staff of the internal audit department also joined in, found problems and solved them.

And Yang Xiaotao turned into an ordinary worker and helped to manufacture parts in a workshop.

Relatively speaking, the product parts of the thresher are not difficult, at least compared with aircraft engines, they are much simpler.

In a workshop, a banner with the words "Workers and Farmers Are One Family" is hung at the entrance of the workshop.

There were also various encouraging banners on both sides, such as "Labor is glorious, labor is the most beautiful", "Unite our strength, work hard", and "Everything is for revolutionary construction."

In addition, there are red flags representing advancedness planted on several workstations. Some of them are for individuals and some are for groups, but each one represents honor.

Yang Xiaotao stood in front of a semi-automatic milling machine with a focused look.

Next to him, Chen Chonghan was moving his wrists and also operating the machine.

During this period, Chen Chonghan's thighs have recovered a lot. Now he doesn't need to walk with crutches. Although he is a little lame, it doesn't affect his walking.

In addition, the doctor also asked him to move more and exercise his leg muscles, so he came to the workshop to help.

Of course, there are Shen Rong, Liu Daming and others like him.

At this time, no matter whether they are from the internal audit department or the R\u0026D department, as long as they are free, they will come to the workshop to help.

Everything is for production.
