Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 164 A Day in the Life of a Workshop Director

Xiang Guowu felt a little embarrassed: "It's not convenient for me to go directly to Cao Gong, for fear of being beaten back..."

After hearing this, Chen Luyang sensed something was wrong.

For this kind of thing, it is usually the workshop director who should communicate and coordinate to determine the standard requirements for production.
When will it be the turn of a workshop worker to step forward?

Chen Luyang thought for a moment, and when he thought about the fact that Director Xu of the current rubber workshop was going to retire, he estimated that he was about 80% sure.

Xiang Guowu wants to take over the position of workshop director!

If it were before, Chen Luyang could really help him find out.

But in this situation, Chen Luyang could only perfunctorily say:

"I'm not very clear about the specific situation, but since the standard parts are almost ready, why not just hand it over and see."

Xiang Guowu nodded.

Chen Luyang doesn't understand technology and is just a translator.

He didn't want to get any technical advice from Chen Luyang at all. The most important thing was to find out what the leaders thought.

Since he didn't find out anything, Xiang Guowu said goodbye to Chen Luyang after a few words of greeting and went back to the workshop to make standard parts.

The news that the rubber workshop would be merged into the fusion workshop spread quickly in the factory within half a day.

Moreover, the current workshop director Xu Cheng has resigned early, and the replacement of the workshop director has become a foregone conclusion.

There were even rumors in the factory that Xiang Guowu was going to take over the rubber workshop.

However, whenever someone told Chen Luyang these gossips, Chen Luyang just listened silently without saying a word.

at night,

Chen Luyang rubbed his socks from time to time.

"What's wrong, Luyang? What are you thinking about? You've been rubbing one sock for almost 10 minutes."

Sun Zhigang asked with a smile while washing his shirt.

Chen Luyang asked, "Brother-in-law, what do you think the workshop director does every day?"

Sun Zhigang was amused: "You should ask my dad about this. He is an old workshop director. He must understand everything."

Chen Luyang muttered softly: "Isn't this inconvenient to ask?"

His father worked so hard for so many years before becoming a workshop director.
As a result, when it came to me, I became the workshop director within less than half a year of joining the factory.

Don't say that Lao Chen's fragile heart can't bear it,
Even Xiao Chen’s tender butt can’t bear it!

The result was that Cao Cao arrived.

"What's inconvenient to ask?"

Chen Dazhi walked out of the house wearing the new sweater that Feng Jiuxiang had knitted for him.

It is maroon in color, with dense stitches, and is woven with fine wool mixed with velvet.

It took me a long time to knit!
She glanced again at the sweater her son was wearing, which was knitted from one of her old sweaters.

Chen Dazhi's inner feelings: pride, guilt, and a little bit of heartache.

Sun Zhigang laughed and said, "Just now, Luyang asked me what the workshop director does every day. I said, how would I know? You should ask our dad!"

Chen Dazhi didn't think much about it and said, "That's a lot to do!"

"To put it in a broader sense, we need to be thorough in all aspects, including production, study, and team leadership!"

"To put it simply, we must care about our colleagues, ensure attendance, maintain equipment, set an example, be the first to rush forward when difficulties arise, and be a good role model for workers!"

"To the outside world, we must strive for honor, performance, and advancement, and bring glory to our colleagues in the workshop!"

"Internally, we need to train cadres, cultivate internal strength, innovate technology, ensure good production, and achieve high performance. We need to build a platform for our colleagues in the workshop so that everyone can achieve success together! Let's work together with all our strength!"

"We must be both the leader and the workhorse."

"I have to be the first one to arrive at the workshop every day and the last one to leave at night."

"Don't worry about everything, think about everything!"

“Not only focus on production, but also think about leadership!”

"Technological innovation today, product support tomorrow!"

"Overlooking the entire factory, the scenery here is unique!"

applaud!!!!
Sun Zhigang raised his hands, and there was a long but weak applause!

Chen Dazhi looked at his son-in-law's reaction with satisfaction, then put his hands behind his back and asked with a smile:
"What's up, Senior Technician Chen?"

"What are your thoughts and opinions on my assignment?"

Chen Luyang snapped back to his senses: "No!...Okay! Okay!!!"

As he spoke, Chen Luyang began to clap randomly.

"What's good about that? I've noticed you've been distracted these past two days. Why are you asking this?"

"I'm just curious and want to find out."

Father Chen looked at Chen Luyang suspiciously: "I think you are really idle. You have nothing to do but ask about this stuff, as if you can become one!"

Chen Luyang didn't dare to say a word.

That night, Chen Luyang, lamenting the tight time schedule, studied diligently until late at night.

When Chen's mother got up in the middle of the night, she saw that the light was on, and found Chen Luyang lying on the table, gritting his teeth and doing his test paper.

"Second brother, stop studying! Go to bed early. You have to go to work tomorrow morning."

"Mom, I'll go to bed soon."

Chen Luyang didn't even look up and continued working on the test paper. Chen's mother muttered, "If you had studied like this earlier, you would have been admitted to university!"

……

The next day, Chen Luyang got up early, drank a mouthful of porridge, and went to the workshop to study with his books.

Once he is ordered to be the workshop director, he will have no time to spare.

If you can learn more now, you should read more pages of books.

As for Teacher Su’s private tutoring class, Chen Luyang didn’t know how long it had been since he last went there.

Teacher Su was so angry that he felt disappointed in his teacher and scolded him for being immature!
When almost everyone in the workshop had arrived, Chen Luyang put away his physics book and began to translate the materials.

In a short while,
There was movement outside the workshop. Xiang Guowu brought a batch of newly produced standard parts and delivered the work three days ahead of schedule.

Although the standard parts were delivered ahead of schedule, the quality control was not satisfactory.

Due to differences in vulcanization technology, the liquid or solid compounding ingredients inside the rubber will migrate and precipitate into cloudy or white powdery substances on the surface of the rubber product.

This situation is called rubber blooming.

Although frosting does not affect normal use, it will reduce the surface viscosity of the rubber, causing difficulties in subsequent calendering, laminating, molding and other processes.

Especially in actual production, rubber blooming can also cause rubber burning and aging of rubber products.

But despite this, the current batch of standard parts is completely sufficient for testing in the fusion workshop.

"Captain Xiang! I suddenly feel like there's hope for our workshop!"

Walking out of the fusion workshop, a young worker followed Xiang Guowu enthusiastically, his face full of joy.

"I heard that the Ascension Workshop is also working on the shock absorber issue!"

"If we can make the shock absorbers for the Fusion Workshop and the Ascension Workshop, our workshop's status will be elevated in no time!"

The young worker's words hit the nail on the head for Xiang Guowu!
"That requires us to work hard." Xiang Guowu said with a smile.

"It just so happens that we've handed in the work to the fusion workshop today, and will report the outstanding workshop's achievements this afternoon."

"Even though we can't get the award, we still want to let the factory leaders see our hardworking and diligent work style!"

The young worker said happily: "Okay, Captain Xiang!"

A few people returned to the workshop chatting and laughing. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Deputy Director Yu leading the current workshop director Xu Cheng and Chen Luyang standing inside, and the rest of the workshop comrades were standing in front of the machines.

Xiang Guowu hurried in at a trot.

Although he was a little confused by the scene in front of him, he quickly returned to the team and stood in the first row.

"Everyone is here, I have something to announce!"

Yu Anshan said: "According to the factory meeting recommendation and organizational decision, Comrade Xu Cheng is dismissed from his position as director of the rubber workshop from today."

"Comrade Chen Luyang will serve as the new director of our rubber workshop."

As soon as the words fell, the whole workshop fell silent.

Everyone in the workshop turned their eyes to Xiang Guowu.

They had already heard that Xu Cheng was going to step down as workshop director.

Xiang Guowu has been working very hard these days, leading them to work overtime, just to take over the position of workshop director naturally.

As a result, they had just handed over the rubber damping shock absorber to the fusion workshop.
Then Deputy Director Yu brought Chen Luyang to make the appointment!
Xiang Guowu was completely frozen.

He is one of the best production experts in the rubber workshop. He has been here since the day the rubber workshop was established, and he believes that he has a very good mass base.

But with so many advantages added together, who would have thought that Chen Luyang, a Cheng Yaojin, would suddenly appear!
Yu Anshan gave everyone time to digest the thought, then led the applause:
"Everyone applauds and welcomes!"

When everyone in the workshop saw Yu Anshan clapping, they quickly followed suit.

Xiang Guowu raised his hands in a daze and clapped his hands sporadically.

"Although Xiao Chen is young, he's thoughtful, innovative, and full of ideas! He's not only a senior technician at our factory, but also a senior translator. He even published a book at a major provincial publishing house a few days ago."

“Very talented!”

Yu Anshan spared no effort in praising Chen Luyang, to the point that Chen Luyang almost felt a little uncomfortable.

"Our rubber workshop has a weak foundation and a poor foundation. Not only do we have some legacy issues, but there is also a lot of work that needs improvement."

"Next, I hope everyone will actively cooperate with and support Comrade Chen Luyang's work to improve the efficiency of the rubber workshop as soon as possible!"

Having said this, Yu Anshan turned to look at Chen Luyang and said with a smile:
"Director Chen, could you please say a few words to everyone?"

Chen Luyang glanced at the workers in the rubber workshop.

Every comrade here is older than him and has longer working experience than him!
While Yu Anshan was here, Chen Luyang simply took advantage of the situation to bully others.

"I am grateful to the factory leaders for giving me this opportunity to be the director of the rubber workshop."

"I will definitely live up to the trust of the factory leaders, devote myself to the work, unite with my comrades, and work hard."

“Strive to achieve the best results in the shortest time and give the factory leaders a satisfactory answer!”

Three sentences, every one of them is about the factory leaders.

Yu Anshan looked at him with satisfaction: "Work hard! If you encounter any problems, ask for instructions and report them frequently, and make achievements for everyone to see."

Chen Luyang nodded: "Don't worry, leader!"

Yu Anshan sighed and finally swallowed back Wang Qingzhou's words, "Give him a year. If he doesn't do a good job and there is no improvement, the rubber workshop will be disbanded directly."

It is already very hard for young people to shoulder such a heavy burden.

It won't add to his psychological burden anymore.
