Scholars in the courtyard

"Be careful on the road!"

Yang Xiaotao stood at the entrance of the alley and gave instructions to Ran Qiuye. Ran Qiuye was pushing a bicycle and carrying a backpack, which contained the things Yang Xiaotao had prepared.

Of course, most of them are for Taiye and his family. Life in the countryside is hard. Even if you can eat enough with high-yielding corn, in this era of scarcity, it is difficult to eat some meat.

"Don't worry, you will have great wealth!"

Ran Qiuye nodded, Wangcai beside him wagged his tail and barked twice.

"Um!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded. With the wealth, there really would be no problems along the way.

Not to mention ordinary beasts, even people with evil intentions will not be able to get a good deal from Wangcai.

Moreover, there were militia patrols along the way, which made Yang Xiaotao feel relieved.

Watching Ran Qiuye go home, Yang Xiaotao walked to the steel rolling mill, thinking about what to say to Xu Yuanshan.

Yang Xiaotao had already had a decision in mind, but he was never sure so he didn't dare to mention it. Now that he has thoroughly understood the drawings, the idea has matured.

Arriving at the steel rolling mill, Yang Xiaotao, Wang Fa and others greeted them.

"Brother Wang, you are very busy today!"

Wang Fa packed up his tools and quickly put them down when he saw Yang Xiaotao.

“You’re such a comfortable kid, wandering around day in and day out, and you don’t even know how to help!”

Yang Xiaotao knew he was joking, but didn't take it seriously, so he came over.

"I see there are a lot of tasks!"

I picked up the drawings that were handed out and saw that the quantity requirements were much higher than usual.

"Don't talk about it. This is a level six artifact after all, and the tasks are relatively small."

"You haven't noticed that Xing Jiaqi and the others are level three and level four workpieces, and their tasks are twice as big as usual! These guys sat on the ground after finishing their work."

"That's it, the tasks are still increasing!"

Wang Fa sighed, "But it's good to have a mission. It means that what we created is useful! It means that the economic construction is good!"

"As long as we can use it, we won't be tired!"

Wang Fa was sure, and so were Li Wei and others who came to work.

They are not afraid of having too much work, but they are afraid of having no work to do.

Yang Xiaotao nodded, walked to the workstation, and then took over today's task.

Ten level eight artifacts!

This is also the largest number in recent times.

Normally there are only one or two, but today there were unexpectedly ten.

After watching carefully for a while, Yang Xiaotao began to prepare.

This kind of workpiece will be a little troublesome at the beginning, but as long as you master the skills, the rest will be very fast.

It's just a bit draining.

Yang Xiaotao started working, and a meeting also started in the conference room of the steel rolling mill.

Those present were all high-level officials of the steel rolling mill, and those at the director level could only sit on the periphery. In the middle were the secretary of the steel rolling mill, the four chief and deputy directors, and the chief of the security department.

A group of people gathered together, the scene was filled with smoke, the atmosphere was tense and silent.

Liu Huaimin looked at the report in hand and realized that the production capacity could not be increased and the tasks could not be completed. This was a dereliction of duty.

Yang Youning also frowned, the cigarette ashes on his hand fell on the table, and he remained silent.

Below, Xu Yuanshan lowered his head and pondered, with some wrinkles on his square cheeks.

The old god Chen Gong is still there, but his face lacks the usual unruliness.

To say that the person who could maintain the most normal scene was Li Huaide sitting at the end.

Although he is the deputy director of the factory, his main focus is on publicity and logistics. If the production capacity cannot increase, it has little to do with him.

What's more, seeing Xu Yuanshan's misfortune made him feel relieved.

But the burning on his cheeks did not disappear with time, but became even more uncomfortable in the eyes of everyone.

If you can't get it back this time, it will always be a joke.

Looking at Xu Yuanshan opposite him, Li Huaide opened his mouth with ill intentions, and then opened his mouth to break the silence.

"Dear leaders and colleagues, comrades!"

When Li Huaide spoke, everyone in the conference room immediately looked over.

"I would like to say a few words on behalf of the logistics and publicity departments."

"No matter how difficult it is, no matter how heavy the task is, we will definitely complete the task on time and with high quality and quantity."

"Never hold back the construction of the motherland!"

After Li Huaide finished speaking, he looked at the people in front and then sat down.

bang bang bang bang

The director of the Publicity Department behind him immediately clapped his hands, and sparse applause erupted in the conference room.

Ahead, Liu Huaimin frowned and then let go.

Yang Youning and Xu Yuanshan's expressions remained unchanged.

Chen Gong on the side snorted coldly, "What's the use of your promise?"

"Can it be a human being or just one more machine?"

"Now the workshop is so busy that I can't find Bei. The workload exceeds 10% of the peak. What should I do if I need to add more?"

After Chen Gong finished speaking, the directors of the ten workshops below immediately responded.

It’s not that they don’t work hard, but the workload is too great.

"Ah!"

While everyone was discussing, Li Huaide smiled disdainfully.

"If you can't complete the task, don't make excuses."

"The great man once said that there are always more solutions than difficulties! Don't give reasons for failure!"

After Li Huaide finished speaking, the scene was silent. Even Wang Guodong was holding back his anger and did not dare to explode at this time.

"Yes, there are always more solutions than difficulties."

Seeing the silence, secretary Liu Huaimin took over the topic, "Let's talk about how to complete the tasks assigned above."

"Lao Yang, take a look, let's talk first!"

Yang Youning put out the cigarette butt.

"Let me express my opinion that the tasks on our shoulders in the future will only be high and not low."

"But the task is the task, it must be completed! Complete it without compromise!"

"yes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the meeting hall immediately burst into cheers.

"Old Xu, tell me!"

"There's nothing to say, just do it!"

"You can't finish your work. Work overtime! How did you get here before? How many times better now? Don't you know how to work?"

Xu Yuanshan is still an iron-blooded soldier, and there is no task that cannot be completed with him.

Several directors under his command all shuddered, almost forgetting that this leader was unreasonable in his cruel actions.

Wang Guodong and Sun Guo (director of the first workshop) looked at each other and both saw that the burden in the future would not be light.

"good."

Yang Youning nodded, "Old Chen, do you have any ideas?"

Chen Gong lit up his cigarette, "I think we should either introduce more machines or recruit skilled workers."

"If you solve one of these two, you can improve efficiency and complete the task."

"It's impossible to recruit people. To be honest, the entire factory in Sijiu City is not idle and is in need of people. The branch factory down below called yesterday and asked us to send people to provide guidance. Where can I find anyone here?"

Liu Huaimin spoke, and Yang Youning on the side also nodded.

"As for the machine."

At this point, there was another moment of silence.

"I'll ask the board of directors to find a solution."

After speaking, everyone was silent.

Everyone in the board of directors knows who is sitting there. They are all big capitalists, people they don’t want to have anything to do with.

However, I have to say that these people are still capable.

Only Li Huaide showed sarcasm.

"Xu Damao, don't let me down!"

At this time, Xu Damao was taking Lou Xiaoe with him. Two packages of pastries and a roast duck were hung on the handlebars of his bicycle. These things were invisible to the Lou family, but they represented their feelings.

Xu Damao is always good at things on the surface. Didn't you see his wife in the back seat smiling all the time?

When the two came to the Lou's small building, a trace of envy flashed in Xu Damao's eyes.

"From now on, it's all mine!"

Xu Damao suppressed the greed in his heart and approached the house with a kind face.

Lou Jingtang sat on his desk, with several letters from old friends in front of him. Some of these people were at home and some were outside. They all asked the same question, which was his situation.

Alas~~

I sigh deeply and feel bitter in my heart. Who can I talk to?

During this period of time, it can be said that he lived in seclusion, saw no guests, and did not socialize with others. The whole person became silent, and even he felt that he had developed the skills to nourish his energy.

"Dad~~~"

An intimate voice came, interrupting Lou Jingtang's thoughts, and someone pressed him down on his shoulder before he could turn around.

"How old are you? You're still skinny!"

"dad!"

Xu Damao's voice came next, and the smile on Lou Jingtang's face immediately disappeared and became calm.

The more I get to know this uncle, the more disappointed I become.

Especially compared with Yang Xiaotao, he is simply in the sky and on the earth.

As for why Lou Jingtang pays attention to Yang Xiaotao?

What a joke, an eighth-level fitter, the youngest eighth-level fitter, as an important manager of the steel rolling mill, wouldn’t he know?

Especially, this person almost became one of his own family members.

Especially, the person who did the bad things is the current uncle.

"coming!"

"Hey, come back with Xiao'e to see your two elders."

"Oh, I have to choose a time to come back. I don't see you on weekdays!"

Xu Damao looked ashamed, and Lou Tan who came up from the side quickly came up to smooth things over.

"Okay, okay, we are all here today. You two have a drink. Xiao'e, let's go cook."

While talking, Lou Xiao'e ran out, leaving Xu Damao and Lou Jingtang in the room.

"dad!"

"Um, Deputy Director Li of our factory..."

…

At noon, Yang Xiaotao came to see Xu Yuanshan after eating.

When I came to the office, I knocked on the door. It didn’t click, and Yang Xiaotao walked in.

There was a strong smell of smoke in the office, waving in front of his eyes. Yang Xiaotao saw Xu Yuanshan standing at the window, but the door and window were closed tightly.

Ahem

Yang Xiaotao coughed twice, Xu Yuanshan turned around and saw the person coming, then he put out his cigarette butt and opened the window.

"Director!"

"There's no one else here, call me uncle!"

Xu Yuanshan walked to the table and leaned on it, ignoring Yang Xiaotao.

To him, Yang Xiaotao was his former child. Regardless of age or relationship, this relationship could not be called an uncle too much.

Moreover, Yang Xiaotao also

"Okay, Uncle Xu, I have something to tell you."

Yang Xiaotao organized his speech, "As you know, I have been studying the assessment of engineers these days. I followed Director Zhang and looked at a lot of drawings and knowledge."

"So, I came to you this time just to ask for a note."

Xu Yuanshan took out two cigarettes again and handed one to Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Xiaotao then took out a lighter and lit it for Xu Yuanshan, and the two of them leaned together and vomited.

"Tell me, what note do you want?"

Yang Xiaotao lowered his head, "Uncle Xu, you also know why my father is missing."

"I came here this time just for that rolling mill."

"My father risked his life to save him. He can't stay in the warehouse and eat dirt. I want to fix it!"

Yang Xiaotao said so categorically that Xu Yuanshan only felt that the cigarette on his hand was a little heavy.

That accident not only caused the loss of two rolling mills in the third workshop, but also caused casualties. The loss was the most serious since the establishment of the factory.

When Yang Xiaotao talked about this, Xu Yuanshan felt even more distressed.

But he didn't agree quickly.

After all, he and even the entire rolling mill had expectations for the damaged rolling mill in the warehouse.

I hope the superiors can find experts to help fix it.

What they fear most is that they dismantle it without authorization. In the future, experts will use this as an excuse to refuse to repair.

That is the biggest loss.

Xu Yuanshan was silent, fighting in his heart.

Yang Xiaotao was also a little uneasy on the side. He came here to make this request to become an engineer.

After these few days of study, I still have some news.

Although there are three engineers in the steel rolling mill, only one was promoted from technician, and the remaining two have made outstanding contributions.

Although I have been stuck at Level 9 Engineer all these years, I am still an engineer.

As long as you become an engineer, complete system tasks, and activate your main skills, you can use the credits later to accumulate them.

Therefore, Yang Xiaotao focused on these broken machines. With scanning glasses and mechanical proficiency, repairing the machines would not be a problem.

However, although Yang Xiaotao is confident, he also knows that these old and damaged machines are also national property.

Protecting national property is more important than Mount Tai!
