Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 165: The Walls Are Barren and Nothing

After Yu Anshan left, Chen Luyang was left alone to face the many heroes in the rubber workshop.

A group of people looked at him eagerly, waiting for his instructions and orders, all with confused expressions.

Chen Luyang said, "Deputy Director Yu has already said everything that needs to be said. We don't have many people in our workshop, so there aren't many rules. We can continue to do things the same way as before."

"Everyone get busy."

Chen Luyang wanted to talk to the old director and hand over his work.

Xu Cheng naturally had the same idea.

The two men walked past the machine and into the director's office.

It is said to be a handover of work, but in fact there is really no practical content.

The only work in the "rubber damping shock absorber" workshop has also been completed, and now everyone has returned to a state of having nothing to do.

Xu Cheng has been looking forward to retirement for a long time.

Now I have stepped down as workshop director and have handed over my work.

Xu Cheng left the workshop and ran to the small park to practice Tai Chi with his old brothers.

Looking at the extremely clean office, Chen Luyang took a deep breath.

"This is truly... barren and empty, with only a solitary lamp and shadow in the cold wind!"

Just as I was sighing, there was a knock on the door.

"Director Chen, here are the materials submitted by the workshop and individuals for the factory's outstanding workshops. Please review them!"

The young worker stood outside the door in high spirits, holding a document in his hand and spoke loudly.

"Bring it to me and see."

Chen Luyang took the materials and looked through them curiously.

As he flipped through the pages, Chen Luyang fell silent.

He was the one who wrote the application materials for the fusion workshop, and the entire document was six pages long.

This is written by picking out the key points, removing many adjectives, and focusing on getting the gist.

If I really let go of the pen, expanding it to ten pages wouldn't be a problem.

But what about the material in my hand? It’s three pages long!
In addition to the fact that "cooperated with the fusion workshop to manufacture the factory's first batch of rubber damping shock absorber standard parts",

Most of the rest of the content is eulogies and extravagant words, and even some of the adjectives are not exaggerations when used to describe the fusion workshop.

Chen Luyang: "This manuscript is very well written. Did you write it?"

Young worker: "Report to the director, I wrote this. My name is Du Han, and I just joined the factory this year."

Chen Luyang weighed the manuscript and wanted to make some changes.

But considering that this material is the performance of the previous workshop after all.

It's not good to change it yourself.

It wouldn't be good to just hand it in without making any changes.

"So, shrink the content down to one and a half pages."

The young worker Du Han was stunned for a moment.

"Director, our three pages are already too little. I went to the Propaganda Department and asked, and other workshops have at least five or six pages."

"What if we continue to reduce our production and the factory doesn't recognize us as advanced?"

Chen Luyang looked at the young worker Du Han kindly.

He really wanted to tell Du Han that even if you write a book, the factory still won't recognize you as an advanced worker!

But considering the enthusiasm of the comrades, Chen Luyang smiled and said:
“The skin of the bun is not in the folds.”

"We won't engage in those literary and meeting styles. We'll keep everything simple."

Du Han: "Okay, Director, I'll take it back and revise it right away!"

Chen Luyang: "Xiao Du, when you go out, call Xiang Guowu in."

During this period, Xiang Guowu was in charge of the rubber workshop. If he wanted to make a breakthrough in the workshop, he had to get Xiang Guowu's support.

Du Han turned around and said, "Director, Captain Xiang just said he was not feeling well and went home to rest."

Chen Luyang: "Go home and rest? Who did he ask for leave from?"

Du Han: "I didn't ask for leave from anyone. I just told everyone in the workshop, and then Captain Xiang left... Do you want me to call him back?"

Chen Luyang: "No, go back and edit the materials first."

Du Han: "Okay, Director... Director, do you want me to help you clean up this room, mop the floor and wipe the dust?"

Chen Luyang smiled.

I didn’t realize that Du Han is such a perceptive and capable person!

"No, you go to work, I can clean it up myself."

Although the office is spacious, fortunately there are not many things and documents, so it can be cleaned up quickly.

Chen Luyang had just filled a basin with water and was standing on the table, preparing to wipe the glass with a rag, when he heard the knock on the door again.

Before Chen Luyang could say "Come in", the door was pushed open.

A group of familiar faces rushed in!

"Hey! Director Chen is cleaning the windows himself~"

Cao Qinghang poked his head out and spoke cheerfully.

"Engineer Cao! Lao Jiang? Xiao Wu? Lao Xue?! Why are you here?"

Seeing the brothers in the fusion workshop, Chen Luyang was stunned for a moment, then jumped off the table with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Director Chen has been promoted. I'm here with the entire workshop to pay my respects. I'll be working hard in the future, Director Chen, and I hope you'll cooperate with me!"

Cao Qinghang congratulated with a smile.

"Yes, Director Chen, congratulations! We are here to give you a gift~"

Old Xue held out the teacup in his hand: "A red peony and white enamel teacup of excellent quality!"

Lao Jiang held the flower pot in his hand and said: "A pot of green radish that can withstand drought and flood and has green leaves all year round and can be saved by water!"

Xiao Wu held up the thin booklet in his hand and screamed, "This is a notebook given to me by my biological uncle who got into college!!"

...Every time these people said something, they would put something on the table.

The small desk was soon filled to the brim.

Chen Luyang's eyes were a little moist with joy.

"You said you were visiting me, but why don't you bring me some canned pork or something? I have all of that..."

Cao Qinghang pointed at Chen Luyang and scolded him with a smile, "You said this kid, we gave him something and he even despised it!"

Outside the workshop, the workers in the rubber workshop heard the noise and all looked into the house curiously.

to be frank,
Since Deputy Director Liu left, the workshop hasn't been this lively for a while.

Today, it was Deputy Director Yu, Engineer Cao from the fusion workshop, and the technicians who showed up. I felt dizzy just looking at them.

"It's different now that we have a new person! No one came to this place before!"

The workshop workers who used to have a good relationship with each other gathered together and chirped crickets in low voices.

"That's because he's close to the leader!"

"Didn't you hear Deputy Director Yu say that he should go and ask for instructions and report as soon as he has nothing to do?"

"Unlike our Brother Xiang, he rarely even goes to the main building, let alone knock on Deputy Director Yu's door."

When it came to Xiang Guowu, the conversation stopped there.

In the workshop director's office,

Cao Qinghang and his group rolled up their sleeves and cleaned up his office in no time.

Xiao Wu sat on the sofa, still in shock.

"I can't believe it, Xiao Chen, you actually became the workshop director!"

"When Mr. Cao told me, I didn't believe it..."

Chen Luyang sighed: "Don't say you don't believe it, I'm still in a daze."

Xiao Wu suddenly became nervous: "Then can you still come back to the workshop to translate for us?"

Chen Luyang: "Don't worry! I will do the work in the workshop without any delay and will not let you down!"

Cao Qinghang looked at Chen Luyang and asked worriedly, "What are you going to do next?"

Chen Luyang shook his head and said with a depressed look:
"The rubber workshop doesn't have many tasks, and our work performance is at the bottom of the factory. Even if I want to do something big, I don't know what to do."

Cao Qinghang pondered for a while and said, "Let's work in our workshop first!"

"The rubber workshop will be merged into the fusion workshop. You can start by producing rubber damping shock absorbers and proceed step by step."

"No matter what, we'll have your back in the end."

Chen Luyang looked at Cao Qinghang with gratitude.

The rubber damping shock absorbers produced in the rubber workshop have a frosting problem that is neither big nor small.

but!

If the rubber workshop has not solved the frost problem before the beginning of next year,
Then the machinery factory will turn around and cooperate with the rubber factory and will never give the rubber workshop another chance!

Under the stringent requirements of comprehensively improving the performance and quality of automobiles, a small workshop is not even within the scope of consideration.

But even so, Cao Qinghang's words gave Chen Luyang great comfort.

"The workshop office is still reserved for you."

"You can come back anytime you want."

Cao Qinghang smiled and patted Chen Luyang on the shoulder.

They came here today to congratulate Chen Luyang on his promotion to workshop director.

Secondly, they were afraid that Chen Luyang was young and would not be accepted by the crowd, so they deliberately sent him to support them.

Now that the congratulations have been given, the place has been set up, and even the sanitation has been cleaned up for him, it's time to leave.

"Chen'er, the workshop is currently testing the shock absorbers. We can't stay here long, so we'll leave now."

Cao Qinghang stood up and said worriedly:

"If you encounter any difficulties at work, let me know!"

Chen Luyang's eyes were red: "Squeak!"

Cao Qinghang's worried expression suddenly froze.

“You little brat…!”

……

Although the machinery factory is large, news spreads extremely quickly!

In less than half a day, the news that Comrade Chen Luyang was promoted to the director of the rubber workshop spread throughout the machinery factory!
Following the youngest senior technician of the machinery factory,

Chen Luyang became the youngest workshop director in the machinery factory.

This afternoon,

Almost everyone who had taken Chen Luyang's class, whether it was Japanese class or driving class, came to congratulate him.

Jiang Xiaohua and a group of female comrades from the radio station also came over to congratulate them, and brought a bag of persimmons as a gift of congratulations.

Even Guo Qiang came over from the Feisheng workshop and brought a copy of "Rubber Industry" for him to study.

"I can't believe it... You couldn't even memorize the periodic table back then, and now you're the director of the rubber workshop!"

Chen Luyang glanced at Guo Qiang dimly: "Are you mistreating me?"

Guo Qiang laughed: "I wouldn't dare! Who would dare to treat the workshop director badly?"

The two chatted for a while, and Guo Qiang looked at Chen Luyang in confusion, wondering:
"Xiao Chen, are you still going to take the college entrance exam?"

"Take the exam! Being a workshop manager doesn't conflict with taking the college entrance exam."

Chen Luyang didn't hesitate at all.

The college entrance examination will be held in July next year. It’s only early November now and it’s not even December yet. You can review while working!
Guo Qiang gave a thumbs-up and said, "If Vice President Jiang and Director Wang heard this, they would surely smile with satisfaction."

Chen Luyang smiled and said, "Hehe."

"I don't have enough time right now, so I have to rely on a famous teacher! I'll ask Teacher Guo to take good care of my review later."

[Look! What is this called? This is called the main plot!]
