Scholars in the courtyard

The steel rolling mill and the director's office are brightly lit and filled with smoke.

"Just report it."

Yang Youning said tiredly, while Chen Gong nodded.

Liu Huaimin looked at the results of the three people's discussion and began to sort them out.

The first is the treatment of the deceased Shan Wentao.

In nature, it is determined to be a work-related accident, that is, the employee dies while working in the factory. According to the Guo family regulations and factory system, half a year's pension must be paid.

The specific number is based on the average salary for half a year.

In addition, the factory will be responsible for all subsequent funeral arrangements for deceased employees.

Because Shan Wentao's children are underage, we will discuss this with his family members whether to let his wife take up the post.

The second is the handling of the innocent injured workers in this accident.

If a worker is injured on the job, according to the Guo Jiahe factory system, the hospital and the medical department of the steel rolling mill will evaluate the worker's injury.

While workers are recuperating from injuries, the factory bears all medical expenses. If workers are unable to work due to injuries, wages will be paid as usual. If workers are seriously injured and unable to continue working, they can designate replacement workers. In addition, the factory will pay a certain amount of solatium every month in accordance with national requirements.

If the employee can recover and continue working, the factory will provide a certain level of compensation, depending on the severity of the injury.

Finally, there is the handling of the persons primarily responsible for this incident.

As the director of Workshop No. 10, Guo Shengjun arbitrarily approved the manufacture of substandard products without consent, review, and approval, causing serious losses to the steel rolling mill.

The leadership of the steel rolling mill unanimously decided to remove Guo Shengjun from his position as workshop director. The specific work arrangements will depend on the situation.

Because it has the main responsibility, the steel rolling mill is only responsible for the expenses incurred by Guo Shengjun's treatment and hospitalization, and has no other benefits.

Yi Zhonghai, the person most directly responsible for this incident, changed the drawings without authorization and manufactured substandard products, causing serious casualties in the steel rolling mill.

The leadership of the steel rolling mill unanimously decided to report to their superiors, convene a workers' meeting, and fire the steel rolling mill.

Considering that the other party is currently undergoing labor reform in the steel rolling mill, there are other arrangements for his labor reform tasks.

According to the Work Injury Management Regulations, the steel rolling mill is only responsible for the expenses incurred by Yi Zhonghai’s hospitalization and has no other benefits.

Qin Huairu took the initiative to operate substandard products without authorization, causing casualties to others and injuries to himself.

The leadership of the steel rolling mill unanimously decided to report to their superiors, convene a workers' meeting, and fire the steel rolling mill.

According to the Work Injury Management Regulations, the steel rolling mill is only responsible for Qin Huairu's hospitalization expenses and no other benefits.

Liu Huaimin wrote down the results one by one. Some of them were unreasonable. Just like the deceased Shan Wentao, if the judgment was strictly based on the factory system, he would definitely not have such preferential treatment.

But death is a big deal, and the steel rolling mill is not an impersonal place.

Among the others, the most unjust punishment given to the three of them was Qin Huairu.

But they really don't believe Qin Huairu is innocent.

Especially if the other party takes the initiative to participate.

It's just that it's a bit far-fetched to expel someone based on this alone.

But this was what Yang Youning insisted on, and Liu Huaimin didn't say much.

After the matter was settled, Liu Huaimin left the steel rolling mill by car overnight, preparing to report the results early tomorrow morning, while Yang Youning and Chen Gong went back to their respective homes.

After the factory's affairs were taken care of, the next step was their own affairs.

At this time, it's time to look for someone, and it's time to vomit the bitterness. Whether we can spend it safely depends on how many nights it takes.

The next day, dawn comes.

In the hospital, bathed in sunshine, Yi Zhonghai finally made some noise.

I have been sleeping since I was lifted to the hospital bed after the operation last night.

Now, after a night of recovery, I finally woke up.

When he opened his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar environment, the picture in his mind still remained at the time of the explosion.

After the explosion, everyone was stunned.

Why did it explode?

How could it explode?

This time he tried his best and had high hopes.

If it succeeds, not to mention coming out of the quagmire, at least it will be cleaner.

Unfortunately, an explosion woke him up from the beautiful dream he was weaving, and then he fell into the mire and sank to the bottom of the water.

Thinking back for a while, Yi Zhonghai slowly moved his body. He remembered that he was hit in the thigh by shrapnel.

He stretched out his hand and pressed it, and a heartbreaking pain came, making him unable to stop crying.

The aunt who was leaning on the chair next to her heard the moan and immediately opened her eyes.

"Lao Yi, are you awake?"

"Great, great, you finally woke up."

The aunt stood up and burst into tears.

Seeing his aunt by his side, Yi Zhonghai was moved.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Yi Zhonghai comforted his aunt, and then asked how the others were doing.

The aunt didn't know what was going on, so she just comforted her, "Everyone else is fine. Your director is missing a kidney, but his life is saved. Huairu is next door, and I went to see him last night. Everything is fine."

"Lao Yi, don't worry about it. Just rest and recover."

Yi Zhonghai drooped his eyelids and nodded. He saw Qin Huairu lying on the ground. It was fine.

The next second, I suddenly thought of something and reached down again.

With this touch, more severe pain hit him than before, making him almost faint from the pain.

"Lao Yi, I have something to tell you."

The aunt finished the story hesitantly.

The next second, Yi Zhonghai stopped making any movement.

The aunt also knew that the truth was hard to accept, so she stood up and picked up the cold chicken soup, "Lao Yi, I'll heat up the chicken soup for you."

After saying that, he quickly turned around and left the ward.

On the hospital bed, the sun shone on Yi Zhonghai's face through the window.

There was no warmth in the eyes in the early morning, but Yi Zhonghai felt that it was so cold.

It was so cold that his tears turned cold and slowly flowed down from the corners of his eyes.

At dawn, Yang Xiaotao got up and took out a group photo from his backpack, which was taken with Ran's mother during the full moon of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Yang Xiaotao originally brought it with him to take a look when he wanted to, but unexpectedly, he met Ran's father here.

And today, if nothing else, is the second meeting between the two of them.

Don’t think about supplies or anything like that, and don’t dare to take them out if you have them, otherwise there’s no way to explain them.

After much thought, I decided to take this family photo with me.

After putting the photos away, Yang Xiaotao got up and went out.

After eating in the morning, Yang Xiaotao was called by Zhang Dedao, and the two of them went out and rushed to the experimental place.

We still rely on our feet to find our way.

The difference is that both of them put on military coats.

It's only November now, and the northwest wind has already frozen all the clothes. If you don't put a coat on top of the quilt at night, it can freeze you up in the middle of the night.

The two held hands and walked forward step by step.

It was the same sentry as the last time, and Yang Xiaotao was used to it. He followed Zhang Dedao and finally came to the previous hut and continued to wait.

"Boy, I handed you the drawings. As expected, I will meet you this time. When the time comes, behave well!"

Zhang Dedao said meaningfully, this performance was very meaningful.

Yang Xiaotao also spoke and just nodded.

The two of them were waiting in the room. On the other side, Director Zheng held a roll of drawings in his hand. Next to him, Team Leader Ran, Director Huang, stood looking at the experiment below.

After the preparations were completed and everyone raised their hands to indicate that everything was correct, the experiment officially began.

This time, everyone has more expectations in their hearts.

According to the requirements of the last experiment, the accuracy has been improved again, and it stands to reason that it should be able to hold on.

Ran's father held a stopwatch in his hand, always paying attention to what was going on below.

As the experiment progressed step by step, everyone's expressions became more solemn.

Ran's father clenched his hands tightly, a tense moment was coming.

"Area Three, leaks begin!"

A voice sounded, and Ran's father clenched his hands tighter.

"Area No. 8..."

Then, just like last time, damage continued to appear, which also announced that the experiment failed again.

Finally, the three of them looked at the submitted result report.

"Lao Ran, it seems that this road is a bit difficult!"

Director Zheng said, Director Huang on the side did not say anything, but his people did try their best.

Every improvement in accuracy is a test of technical experience and even physical strength. Every small part here is soaked in sweat and hard work.

This doesn't work, there's nothing they can do.

Ran's father is not stubborn. This is the path of scientific inquiry. Sometimes it requires perseverance, and sometimes it is necessary to consider reality and admit mistakes.

However, this is sometimes difficult to judge.

"Director, I think we can try other methods."

As Ran's father said, Director Zheng spread out the drawings, which contained the recently received design drawings.

"Lao Ran, let's go meet this comrade. After all, he is working on the front line. Maybe there is a way to solve this problem."

Ran's father nodded, feeling a little hopeful in his heart.

The last time the two met, the other party didn't know his identity.

This time, everyone should know it, so what will the meeting be like?

Director Huang nodded. After all, he was the one who handed over the drawings.

Of course, when Zhang Dedao first came to see him, he thought it was a joke when he mentioned this.

There are so many capable people in this base, but they are not as good as you, an eighth-level fitter?

But when Zhang Dedao mentioned that Yang Xiaotao was still an engineer, Director Huang took it seriously.

Level 8 fitters and engineers are two different fields, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there is a natural chasm between them.

Even though he has many eighth-level workers, he really doesn't have many engineers.

Some are older and have been promoted due to their outstanding contributions. To be honest, they are the enhanced version of the eighth-level workers, and they are incomparable with the eighth-level engineers.

Director Huang handed over the drawings precisely because he knew Yang Xiaotao's identity.

But I don't want to be taken seriously.

At this time, Director Huang was still a little happy in his heart. If he succeeded this time, he would keep Yang Xiaotao's good talent no matter what.

Of course, he didn't know anything else about Yang Xiaotao. If he knew, he might be even more intense.

"No problem, let's just discuss it. Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade."

Father Ran nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll have someone call him over and let's take a look together."

Director Zheng said, nodded to Director Huang, and then left the laboratory with Father Ran and returned to the office to wait.

On the other side, Yang Xiaotao looked at the person who came in and asked him to follow him out. He looked back at Zhang Dedao, who waved his hand and told him to hurry up and not delay going back to eat.

Yang Xiaotao nodded and followed.

He was also guessing in his heart whether it was Ran's father who saw him.

Soon, he stopped in front of a room. The person motioned to Yang Xiaotao to go in first, and then followed behind and stood at the door.

Yang Xiaotao glanced at the guard, then saw Ran's father and Director Zheng from last time.

"Good leader!"

"Okay, sit down quickly!"

Yang Xiaotao glanced at Ran's father, who nodded, obviously aware of their relationship.

Then Director Zheng sat down, Father Ran sat aside, and Yang Xiaotao sat opposite.

On the table are Yang Xiaotao's design drawings.

"This is Team Leader Ran. You have met before. I called you here today to discuss the feasibility of this design."

Director Zheng knew about the relationship between the two, but still pointed out Ran's father's position.

Yang Xiaotao knew clearly that there was a pair of eyes watching behind him, so he didn't dare to say anything more.

Director Zheng pointed directly at the drawing, "Comrade Yang Xiaotao, this is the structural diagram you designed. Can you explain it to me?"

"Okay, leader."

Yang Xiaotao did not look at Ran's father, but introduced his own ideas.

"I think I want to..."

Yang Xiaotao pointed to the drawing and even used a pencil to draw structural diagrams of the force on the drawing.

Father Ran quickly understood Yang Xiaotao's point of view, and then looked at Yang Xiaotao to observe carefully.

I have to say that from the little information he learned, he was generally satisfied.

He was also happy that his daughter could find this support.
