After Zhang Zhiqiang got home, he immediately shared the good news with Ran Qiuye.

"Wife, let me tell you, your husband is going to be recognized tomorrow. He will be the first one to be recognized."

Zhang Zhiqiang patted his chest and said proudly, "This is an honor. There are only a few of them a year. It's very precious."

"Huh? Really?"

Ran Qiuye stood up happily.

"Sit down, sit down. Be careful with your big belly."

Zhang Zhiqiang's mouth twitched when he saw Ran Qiuye got up so quickly, and he quickly helped her sit down.

"That should be right. My uncle told me to dress better."

Zhang Zhiqiang added.

"Then I'll get it for you. Just wear that Zhongshan suit, okay?"

Ran Qiuye asked.

"No, I think I'd better wear the factory uniform. Why should I wear a Zhongshan suit as a worker? I'll pass the technician exam first."

Zhang Zhiqiang expressed his thoughts: He was receiving an award but was dressed more like a leader than the leaders. What was going on?

"That's okay too."

Ran Qiuye thought about it and agreed, thinking that with her man's intelligence and talent, it would only take this year.

When Ran's father and mother came back from shopping, they were very happy to hear the news. Ran's mother happily said that she would cook two more dishes today to make the place more lively.

Ran's father insisted on pulling Zhang Zhiqiang to have a couple of drinks to celebrate.

Zhang Zhiqiang finally persuaded us to celebrate tomorrow and just eat something casually today.

Ran's father took out the chessboard and insisted that Zhang Zhiqiang play two games with him.

During the day, Ran's father went home with nothing to do and played chess with a few retired neighbors. He lost so much that he began to question his life. So, he came to Zhang Zhiqiang to find a sense of existence.

Fortunately, Ran's mother cooked quickly and didn't waste many dishes. Otherwise, Zhang Zhiqiang would have to think about how to perform, try his best and then lose.

After dinner, Zhang Zhiqiang took out the book given by Cheng Gong to study. Ran's father and Ran Qiuye each took a book to read, while Ran's mother cleaned up the house.

Because Zhang Zhiqiang had to go to work, everyone went to bed early.

the next day.

Zhang Zhiqiang put on a clean factory uniform and walked towards the steel rolling mill. To be honest, he was a little nervous as the assessment was about to start.

After arriving at the workshop, someone came to call Zhang Zhiqiang and asked him to go to the factory gate.

After Zhang Zhiqiang arrived, he found that there were already a lot of people there, including the three factory managers, some familiar leaders, and his master, Engineer Cheng.

"Good boy, you are going to take the eighth level exam so soon, and everyone knows it, but you just don't inform me, the master, right?"

Engineer Cheng came over and patted Zhang Zhiqiang on the shoulder twice, pretending to blame him.

Zhang Zhiqiang moved his shoulders. Although Cheng Gong is now an engineer and has not been on the front line for a long time, he was a blacksmith by profession, so he is naturally very strong. Zhang Zhiqiang even felt a little pain.

"How could that be possible, Master? I just wanted to give you a surprise after I passed the exam."

Zhang Zhiqiang said with a smile, then took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and shared it with everyone.

Those who can become leaders are basically good at smoking and drinking. When they saw Zhang Zhiqiang handing out cigarettes, they happily took them. After all, such a young eighth-level fitter will definitely achieve great things in the future, so it would be a good idea to make friends with him.

When it was Deputy Director Li's turn, he patted Zhang Zhiqiang on the shoulder and encouraged him, telling him to do his best in the assessment and to tell him if he had any problems.

Deputy Factory Director Li thinks highly of Zhang Zhiqiang. Not to mention Zhang Zhiqiang's own abilities, Qiu Ming behind Zhang Zhiqiang is worthy of Deputy Factory Director Li's serious attention. They are all deputy factory directors, and behind them stand big leaders, so no one is afraid of anyone.

If he could win over Deputy Director Qiu, the position of director would be his sooner or later.

Besides, Zhang Zhiqiang’s master is Engineer Cheng Hongjun, a person that both the factory director and the factory director have to take seriously. No matter what, he has to take better care of him.

"Master, do you know the person who is coming?"

Zhang Zhiqiang asked in a low voice. He knew that the person who came was here to assess him. He was at least a technician and might know Engineer Cheng.

"That's about right. But don't think about cheating. You can't fake things like assessments."

Engineer Cheng reminded that he believed the assessment was based on one’s ability, and if one could pass, then pass, and if not, then go back and practice hard and take the test again next time.

What Cheng Gong despises most are those who have no skills and rely on length of service to pass the assessment, as well as those who rely on cheating.

"How could that be? You don't know who your disciple is. There must be no problem with his strength."

Zhang Zhiqiang said confidently.

"Okay, then I'll see how you perform."

Zhang Zhiqiang's words were a bit arrogant, but Engineer Cheng thought about it and realized that he did have the capital to be arrogant. Besides, it was normal for young people to be full of energy, so he didn't say much.

As soon as he finished speaking, a car drove over.

"Engineer Cheng, people are coming. Shall we go over?"

Director Yang asked, every engineer is a treasure in the factory, and Director Yang respects talents very much.

The factory can do without a director like him, but it cannot do without engineers like Cheng Hongjun.

"Go ahead and see who's here."

Director Yang and Engineer Cheng walked in the front, and the rest of the people fell behind.

After opening the door, a thin middle-aged man walked down with a serious face, giving people a stern feeling.

"Lao Peng, it's you. I was wondering who it was."

Obviously, Engineer Cheng knew the person who came, so he went up to him and started chatting with him directly.

"There's nothing I can do, Old Cheng. This is just the beginning of the year, and everyone has a mission. I'm the only one who's free, so I was sent here."

When Mr. Peng saw that it was Cheng Hongjun, a smile appeared on his face, and he shook hands with Mr. Cheng and said.

"Qiangzi, come here, let me introduce you."

Engineer Cheng called Zhang Zhiqiang and said that he had a new apprentice and he must let his old friend take a look at him.

"Qiangzi, let me introduce you. This is Engineer Peng Qinghui. He is now a Level 7 Engineer. You can just call him Engineer Peng."

Engineer Cheng introduced.

Zhang Zhiqiang knew it was something special as soon as he heard it. The levels of fittering start from level one and go up to level eight, with level eight being the highest.

But engineers are different. Engineers are divided into levels one to nine, with level one being the highest.

The fact that Mr. Peng was able to be promoted two levels at this age shows that he has outstanding abilities.

"Hello, Mr. Peng."

Zhang Zhiqiang shook hands with Mr. Peng respectfully.

"Old Peng, this is my new apprentice, Zhang Zhiqiang."

Engineer Cheng introduced.

"Are you Zhang Zhiqiang?"

Mr. Peng looked at Zhang Zhiqiang with strange eyes.

"Yes, Mr. Peng has heard of me?"

When Zhang Zhiqiang asked this question, he felt it was impossible. He was a very important person and was very busy with things. How could he have heard of his name?

"I've heard of you. I came here to test you, but I didn't expect you to be so young."

Engineer Peng looked at Zhang Zhiqiang as if he was a fool. He had applied to the higher-ups and Zhang Zhiqiang’s name must have been on the list.

"How old is this year?"

Mr. Peng couldn't help but ask.

"Um, just... twenty-one, less than twenty-two."

Zhang Zhiqiang almost said that he had just turned eighteen, but fortunately he reacted in time.

"Heroes come from young people."

Mr. Peng sighed and said that he himself had wanted to take Zhang Zhiqiang as his apprentice, but if others didn't say anything, Cheng Hongjun would definitely not be willing.
