Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle.

Chapter 19 I'm so awesome, how come I don't know

"Boss, why did you issue that letter of apology to the Jia family? Aren't you just being idle?"

After returning home and hearing what happened at the meeting, Yang Liu glared at Yang Ning angrily and asked.

"You're right, this letter of understanding is actually coming out, and the sooner the better."

Yang Ning said as he looked at his confused parents.

"Why?" Yang Liu put down the two monsters in her arms, stared at Yang Ning and asked, as if he would be in trouble if he didn't give an explanation.

"The initial incident involving Jia Zhang was just a matter of a few pieces of candy. If we really investigate this matter, our family is in the wrong. Didn't you see how you beat Jia Zhang? Ouch, I don't even want to say anything."

"You said it was just a few candies, at most. Plus, you snatched them from the second weirdo, but you didn't do anything to the second weirdo. But you beat her up like that, it's really a bit..."

Yang Dagen also thought about it at this time, nodded and agreed with Yang Ning's point of view.

"Yes, but once this letter of apology is signed, it will be different. Not only will the Jia family admit that they are responsible, but they will not be held responsible afterwards. In this way, our family is in the right, and no one can say that we are wrong. Besides, I'm afraid that this letter of apology will be useless in the case of Jia Zhang."

After hearing this, Yang Ning patted his thigh and gave his father an appreciative look.

"It's true what you said. I was just enjoying myself and didn't notice that I was a little too heavy-handed."

What is that? I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about that.

Then Yang Ning analyzed Yi Zhonghai's thoughts to them. After listening to Yang Ning's analysis, Yang Liu felt a little embarrassed and pushed Yang Ning off the kang.

"Why don't you write a letter of apology quickly? Once you're done, bring it to me and your father to sign and put our fingerprints on. When Jia Dongxu comes back, have him take it to him immediately. This will also help Yi Zhonghai out."

"Although he is a troublemaker, he is still a big boss in the courtyard after all."

It was not until the next day when Yang Ning went to the First Machinery Factory and did not see Jia Dongxu coming to pick up the letter of apology that he realized that this was a serious matter.

"Comrade Yang Ning, you are here. Secretary Hu is looking for you. He said he wants you to come over for something."

As soon as he arrived at the technical department, Zhang Li said to Yang Ning.

Liu Haijun had a cold face and didn't even look at Yang Ning.

Obviously, he believed that Yang Ning deliberately lied to him and said that he didn't know Secretary Hu in order not to help him.

Now Secretary Hu has called you to his office. Let’s see how long you can keep pretending.

Yang Ning put his things away, thanked Zhang Li, and walked towards Secretary Hu's office.

"Secretary Hu!" As soon as I entered the door, I saw Secretary Hu sitting behind the desk, writing something in a notebook.

"Xiao Yang is here. Sit down for a while. I'll be there soon."

Seeing Yang Ning, Secretary Hu greeted him warmly.

A clerk poured Yang Ning a cup of tea and left. Yang Ning sat on a chair and looked at the layout of the office.

The office was not big, only about 20 square meters. Apart from a tattered filing cabinet and a desk with newly attached legs, there were only three chairs. In the corner was a mottled wooden shelf, on which stood a porcelain washbasin with half a basin of water in it, which was obviously used to wipe one's face when one was tired.

The water was a little muddy, obviously from yesterday. It seemed that Secretary Hu was too busy at the factory to go home, otherwise someone would have changed the water in the basin long ago.

An old-fashioned wooden window creaked in the September autumn wind.

Soon the sky was covered with dark clouds and it suddenly became dark.

Yang Ning looked at Secretary Hu, whose eyes were a little strained, put down his teacup, stood up and turned on the light. The sudden bright light woke Secretary Hu up, and looking at Yang Ning who looked embarrassed, Secretary Hu smiled.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I've been so busy that I've forgotten everything."

"It's okay. Secretary Hu, you are managing all the affairs of the factory, and it is indeed very hard."

Yang Ning saw Secretary Hu looking up, smiled, then walked to the chair awkwardly and sat down again.

Secretary Hu closed his notebook, put away his pen, and then said, "I discussed the plan you gave me yesterday with Director Kong and others, and I think it can be done."

"But the factory is under time pressure and has a heavy workload. We can only promote it on a small scale first, and then promote it in the factory after we get results. What do you think?"

"Everything is arranged by the leadership."

Yang Ning was delighted at this moment. Everything had finally taken the first step, which was already very good.

"Okay, you're not busy lately, are you?" Secretary Hu asked with a smile when he saw Yang Ning looking very motivated.

"Leader, you know I'm just here for an internship. There's nothing for me to do." Yang Ning said.

"Look at me, I almost forgot you were here for an internship. It seems like you have a lot of initiative. You improved the factory's production process without any work assigned to you. This is worthy of praise."

"Leader, are you praising me or blaming me for making trouble?" Yang Ning was so straightforward that he asked directly in front of his leader.

Although Secretary Hu's words sounded like a compliment to him, he still felt it would be better to ask clearly about some things said in later videos.

Anyway, I am just a young man, so it is inevitable that I am a little impatient.

"Haha~" Secretary Hu smiled and pointed at Yang Ning after hearing his question and said, "Of course it's a compliment. We don't beat around the bush. Good is good, bad is bad. Don't worry."

"That's good." Yang Ning breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "I thought you were blaming me for being nosy."

"What you said, if this is too much trouble, I would like to come more often."

After saying that, Secretary Hu stood up and said, "Okay, come with me to Director Kong. After all, he is in charge of the production of the workshop. You can discuss this with him."

Director Kong gives people an impression of being decisive and efficient. Unlike Secretary Hu, when he saw Yang Ning, he just asked a few questions about his situation in the factory and then began to discuss with him the restructuring of the production process.

Director Kong took out the planning map that Yang Ning had submitted earlier, and asked one machine after another why it was placed where it was, what the benefits of placing it like this were, and how much time it could save.

Even though Yang Ning had already simulated it many times in his mind, he still felt a little dizzy when asked by Director Kong.

In the end, Yang Ning simply grabbed the drawings and pen and explained to him one by one the benefits of placing them this way. From time to time, Director Kong would express different opinions, but he would be defeated by Yang Ning's explanation.

It was not until the bell rang that Director Kong patted Yang Ning on the shoulder and said, "Haha, good boy, you really have something."

"Okay, leave this blueprint here for me. I'll see where to start."

Yang Ning then realized what he had just done. The discussion had become heated and Yang Ning had explained it several times. Director Kong also asked questions about this and that, which directly annoyed Yang Ning: "I have explained it so clearly, but you still don't understand. I don't know how you got here?"

He didn't feel anything at the time, but when he thinks back on it now, Yang Ning's hair stands on end.

I seemed to have just... seemingly scolded the factory manager?

How come I didn’t know this is so awesome? Is it too late to apologize now?

Yang Ning almost cried as she looked at Director Kong who seemed to be unconcerned.
