Siheyuan: Forced to exchange rooms with Qin Huairu at the beginning

When Engineer Peng arrived, he did not rest at all. He directly asked Zhang Zhiqiang to start the operation and acted vigorously and decisively.

Director Yang and his colleagues had no choice but to follow Engineer Peng's lead and go to the prepared workshop.

The leaders all wanted to see if Zhang Zhiqiang could pass the assessment. If he did, he would be almost the youngest eighth-level fitter in the country.

"start."

Following Engineer Peng's order, Zhang Zhiqiang began to operate in an orderly manner.

Zhang Zhiqiang first checked the parts for defects and then started processing.

The movements were smooth and there was not a single flaw.

Mr. Peng looked at it and nodded with satisfaction.

An hour later.

"Whoo~"

Zhang Zhiqiang breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally done.

"Report, finished."

After Zhang Zhiqiang finished speaking, he stepped aside.

Engineer Peng went forward and carefully checked to see if there were any defects in the parts.

After checking the size and other aspects, there were no major problems, so Engineer Peng put the parts on the table.

"Passed, full marks."

Engineer Peng spoke up, which meant that from that moment on, Zhang Zhiqiang became a true eighth-level fitter, with a monthly salary of ninety-nine yuan, the same level as Yi Zhonghai.

"Okay, Director Qiu, your nephew is really extraordinary."

Director Yang was very happy. In a steel rolling mill with 10,000 employees, there were only a few dozen level 8 workers, and each one of them was a treasure.

"Haha, I didn't expect that this kid would do well on his own."

Director Qiu smiled and said that he was very pleased that his old subordinate's son was so outstanding.

"Boy, you are really good. If you were not Lao Cheng's apprentice, I would really want to snatch you away."

Engineer Peng praised Zhang Zhiqiang highly. Although Zhang Zhiqiang is young, he is really skilled. His operation is so smooth that people who don’t know him would think that Zhang Zhiqiang has been immersed in the field of locksmithing for decades.

"Thank you, Mr. Peng. I'm still a long way from here."

Zhang Zhiqiang said modestly that no matter whether Mr. Peng was praising him sincerely or for some other reason, he should not get carried away.

Afterwards, Zhang Zhiqiang came and stood behind Engineer Cheng, holding his head high and chest out, thinking that he had made his master proud today.

Cheng Hongjun suppressed his excitement and patted Zhang Zhiqiang on the shoulders twice. He thought that this disciple of his was really good.

"Mr. Peng, if you have nothing to do, why don't you attend our general staff meeting this afternoon? Give us some guidance on our work, and we'll welcome you back in the afternoon."

Director Yang asked tentatively.

"No, I have something else to do this afternoon. I'll just have something to eat in the cafeteria staff meal later."

Mr. Peng refused. He didn't like luxury and waste and never participated in such activities.

"This……"

Director Yang didn't expect Engineer Peng to refuse directly, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"That's how Lao Peng is. He's notoriously difficult to talk to. Director, just let him eat from the big pot. What's the point of eating good food? How can he digest it?"

Engineer Cheng came up to help.

"Old Cheng, what do you mean? Why can't I eat good food? Do you want to fight?"

Peng Gong said with his eyes wide open.

"Come on, come on, whoever gives the other a grandson will be the next one."

Engineer Cheng started rolling up his sleeves as he spoke.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? How dare you do that in public? Can't you just talk it out calmly?"

Seeing that Engineer Cheng was eager to try, Engineer Peng spoke quickly.

"Just kidding, come sit at my place for a while?"

It’s still some time before lunch, Mr. Cheng asked.

"Okay."

Engineer Peng did not refuse. He only knew Engineer Cheng here and was not familiar with the others.

When Zhang Zhiqiang returned to the workshop, everyone immediately surrounded him.

"How's it going, Master?"

Li Lixin asked.

"It succeeded. Are there any other results?"

Zhang Zhiqiang said unhappily.

Everyone cheered and was happy for Zhang Zhiqiang.

"Ninety-nine dollars a month, how can I spend it all?"

A fellow worker began to worry about Zhang Zhiqiang.

"Of course, he will treat us to lunch at noon."

Wan Heng said that he had a good relationship with Zhang Zhiqiang and he was not afraid of Zhang Zhiqiang getting angry by saying these things.

"Okay, today at noon, I, Zhang Zhiqiang, will pay for all of your consumption."

Zhang Zhiqiang was not stingy. There were only a dozen or so workers in total, and the meal wouldn't cost much.

"Hahaha~ The leader is so generous."

"Then we won't be polite. I want to eat white flour buns."

"You are only worth a white flour bun. You should have meat and vegetables. Ask for more."

…………

The workers started discussing how much money Zhang Zhiqiang would spend on lunch.

Of course, Zhang Zhiqiang and his co-workers are all very good people.

During lunch, the workers did not go overboard. Instead, they tried to save money for Zhang Zhiqiang and only ordered some vegetarian dishes.

Zhang Zhiqiang couldn't stand it anymore and bought some meat and vegetables for him to eat. He thought that one should celebrate in a celebratory manner and he didn't mind that.

Mr. Peng had lunch and then took the bus back home. The general staff meeting was held on time in the afternoon.

First, the factory leaders summarized the work of the previous year, starting with Director Yang, and the leaders took turns speaking.

The workers below were drowsy after listening. Most of them had little education and could not understand what their leader was saying. They only clapped enthusiastically when everyone else was applauding.

The reason for the enthusiasm was not because the leader spoke well, but because another one was finished, which brought us one step closer to the end.

Finally, the last leader finished speaking and was greeted with warm applause from the audience. The most difficult time was over.

"During last year's work, a large number of advanced collectives and individuals emerged. We would like to commend them here. We hope that those who have been honored will continue to work hard, and those who have not been honored will learn from those who have been honored."

A leader stood up and spoke, and the applause from the audience became even more enthusiastic and the discussion became much louder.

The results haven’t been announced yet, so everyone has a chance and is thinking about how they performed last year and whether they could win a prize.

For example, Yi Zhonghai is now thinking about whether his fitter workshop No. 9 can be named an advanced collective. Although it is a collective honor, every comrade in it can benefit from it, which will be very helpful for future development.

Liu Haizhong was also looking forward to whether there would be any opportunities in his Forging Workshop No. 5. If he could win a collective honor by then, he might be able to become an official.

"Quiet, quiet, everyone, quiet."

The leaders are very satisfied with this attitude, because only competition can lead to improvement.

After the scene calmed down, the leader walked to the microphone with a list.

"The advanced collectives are: Turning Workshop 1, Forging Workshop 1, Fitting Workshop 1..."

When the leaders first went up to report, they all reported on the first workshop of each type of work. No one had any objection to this. Each type of work workshop was full of top talents. If there was any urgent task in the factory, the first workshop would be the first to step up. It was reasonable for them to be named an advanced collective.

"Forging Workshop 2 and Fitter Workshop 11, I want to commend the Fitter Workshop 11 here. During the assessment last year, with the help of team leader Zhang Zhiqiang, every worker in Workshop 11 passed the assessment, completing the grand slam in the history of the workshop. Let's give them a warm round of applause."

The leader mentioned the fitter workshop 11 and made a special introduction to it. The main reason was that this workshop was a new one and no one knew much about it. Now that workshop 11 was included in the advanced collective, I am afraid that some people might not be happy about it, so it should be explained.
