Chapter 156 Internal Training Mechanism

"Factory Manager, this trip to Shanghai was very fruitful!" Hu Weidong said to Shen Dong in his office.

Shen Dong smiled and waited for him to continue.

"These past few days we've observed the operation of that machinery factory in depth, and in one word: excellent! In two words: extremely excellent!" Hu Weidong said, giving a thumbs up. "Moreover, the rigor of their rules and regulations is enough for us to study for half a year."

"And you? Are you in the same boat as Minister Hu?"

Like Hu Weidong, the other people who accompanied the team were also sitting nervously in the office.

They weren't as open as Hu Weidong; they just nodded with smiles.

"So what are your thoughts on the upcoming internal training?"

Getting down to business, Hu Weidong sat up straight, thought for a moment, and said, "I plan to have them write down what they've seen and learned these past few days, and everyone should give their opinions. I'll organize it later."

Shen Dong nodded.

Shen Dong had always trusted Hu Weidong with his work. As one of the first employees to join the company, Shen Dong never neglected him because of his position and always maintained a friendly superior-subordinate relationship with Hu Weidong.

"Alright, you can get the charter for this. Let me know when the training session is held," Shen Dong said, jokingly adding, "I'll come and learn too."

After everyone left, Shen Dong returned to his team.

Today is Shen Weiguo's second test of the bricks, and it is especially crucial.

It is said that in war, the second attempt is weak and the third is exhausted, but Shen Dong thought that if the brick-testing was unsuccessful twice in a row, Shen Weiguo would probably not try a third time, as he would not be able to bear it.

Because this is not just a financial loss, but more importantly, a loss of face.

Although Shen Weiguo wasn't good at farm work and wasn't very successful, at least he wasn't the kind of person who just drifted along. He didn't have any particularly bad hobbies and could get along well with everyone.

But this time, he had finally managed to do something big, and he failed the first time, especially in front of everyone. It was already quite remarkable that Shen Weiguo was able to make the decision to try again.

"Sir, how is he now? How long has he had the fever?"

This time, even more people gathered around the brick kiln.

Shen Dong was also surprised. These people weren't working. It was already May. Shouldn't they be busy in the morning?

The sun was rising and getting a bit hot, so Shen Dong opened his clothes and pulled Shen Changping to a shady spot.

"Why is the temperature rising so quickly? It looks like this summer is going to be very hot." Shen Dong picked up a leaf and fanned himself with it.

"Sir, I'll go check out electric fans in a couple of days and buy two so I can sleep more comfortably at night."

Shen Changping's face hardened, and he said, "Why would you buy that thing? Do you have electricity at home or something?"

Shen Dong was initially quite pleased with himself, thinking that he had earned money and bought appliances for his home, so he should be able to get praise. However, he forgot about the electricity.

Sigh! He sighed in frustration and turned his gaze back to the entrance of the cave dwelling.

A short while later, Master Yang, whom we had met before, came out, carrying a few bricks in his hand. As soon as he came out, he looked around for Shen Weiguo.

"Defend the country, defend the country, look!" he shouted, raising a brick as he did so.

Shen Weiguo rushed forward, took the bag, flipped through it briefly, and then fiddled with it, his face showing excitement: "This...this is healed?"

"Yes! Absolutely no problem! Perfect condition!" Master Yang announced happily.

"Great! Hahaha!" Shen Weiguo could finally laugh out loud. He glanced at Shen Changping out of the corner of his eye and ran over. 66

"Dad, look, aren't these bricks great!"

Shen Changping appeared calm, but Shen Dong noticed that his right hand trembled slightly as he took the brick, and knew that he was not at peace with himself.

He smiled at Shen Weiguo and said, "Congratulations, Uncle, the brick kiln is finally finished!"

Shen Weiguo was filled with emotion. He pursed his lips and patted Shen Dong's shoulder forcefully.

"Open the kiln!"

As soon as he shouted, the team members began to help take bricks out of the kiln. Soon, the bricks were stacked on a cart and then pushed to a specially leveled area to be piled up.

"Dongzi, could you ask around here and find out where your uncle needs bricks?" Shen Changping led Shen Dong step by step to the pile of bricks, instructing him as they walked.

"Don't worry, Grandpa, I already asked around. As long as there are no problems on Uncle's side, there won't be any problems on the other side either."

Shen Changping nodded and looked at Shen Dong with satisfaction.

Although his grandson had changed his surname to become a grandson, in his heart, Shen Dong had been no different from his own grandson since the moment he was born.

He grew up under my care since he was a child, and I never expected that he would suddenly become so capable in his teens and become the pillar of the family.

It's such a pity that his good girl died young, not living to see this wonderful life.

The second batch of bricks was not very large. Shen Weiguo was still wary of the previous failure, and this success made him feel regretful, since each batch takes a lot of time to fire.

When school ended in the afternoon, Shen Hong brought over a large basin filled with tea leaves. She had just finished her work and everyone could drink some to refresh themselves and relieve their fatigue.

Seeing Shen Weiguo resting to the side, Shen Dong went over and asked, "Uncle, are you planning to get another batch of bricks to sell together, or should you take this many away first?"

With Qingming Festival over and May approaching, there were noticeably more sunny days. After thinking it over, Shen Weiguo decided to produce another batch.

"Okay, I'll wait for your notification and send someone over to haul the bricks in a few days."

Shen Weiguo focused all his attention on the brick kiln, which put Shen Dong at ease.

Because he remembered that in his previous life, his uncle made a mistake later on. It seemed that he was tricked into losing a lot of money. Later, he and Tang Yue often quarreled. However, divorces were not common at that time. At most, the two were just superficially harmonious and could still maintain the integrity of the family.

I wonder if flapping my wings this time will change my uncle's fate.

"Brother, did Uncle succeed?" Shen Dong was washing his feet on a stool when Shen Min handed him a towel and asked casually.

She had been in class all day, and with final exams approaching, she also did a lot of homework in the evening. Only now did she have time to chat with Shen Dong.

While wiping his feet, Shen Dong replied, "That's right, the whole batch went smoothly today, it was a great success. My uncle is planning to do another batch."

Shen Min nodded as she listened, her eyes unfocused, lost in thought.

Shen Dong waved his hand in front of her face and asked, "What are you thinking about? Why didn't you answer when I called you?"

"Brother, now that we have bricks, does that mean we can build a house in the future?"

Shen Dong asked疑惑地问道, "You don't like this house?"

Shen Min quickly explained, "That's not what I meant, brother. It's what the teacher said. She mentioned that there are many two- or three-story houses in Shanghai and Beijing that look very beautiful. I've never seen them, so I was wondering if our family could build one too..."

Shen Dong laughed and said, "Don't worry, in a couple of years we'll build a three-story villa to fulfill your wish, how about that?"

Seeing how considerate her brother was, Shen Min smiled sweetly, "Yes, I look forward to that day coming soon!"
