Siheyuan: I, the eldest son of the Liu family, will enter the department!

A young worker who has just been transferred here.

While pushing the material cart hard, he came over with envy in his eyes.

"of course!"

The old master spat into his palm: "Follow Team Leader Liu, you can't go wrong!"

This is a rough statement but it makes sense!

After hearing this, several skilled workers nearby all started laughing and worked even harder.

At this time.

The workshop director came in pushing a cart.

The truck bed was filled with the newly printed "Production Schedule", with a clear red pen marking that there were 45 days left to complete the Soviet order.

"Wow!"

A group of people gathered around in an instant, heads pressed against each other, and their necks stretched to look up.

"director!"

"After the new factory is built, will we be given priority when recruiting?"

"Yes, Director, can our group of veterans go first?"

Facing those anxious and hopeful faces!

The workshop director cleared his throat, an unconcealable smile on his face.

He pressed his hands down, signaling everyone to be quiet: "After the New Year, the order for Mao Xiong will be completed..."

"When the time comes, our old workshop will be able to retire with honor! Everyone will be directly transferred to the new factory!"

Suppressed exclamations suddenly erupted from the crowd.

The director smiled even more broadly, holding up three fingers: "Also... when we get to the new factory, each person will receive an additional three yuan in foreign exchange subsidies per month!"

"Everyone's work level has a great chance of being promoted!"

"For those with outstanding skills, promotion to a higher level is no longer a dream!"

boom!

These words were louder than the sound of the wrench just now!

The whole workshop was in an uproar!

Three yuan in foreign exchange subsidies! Plus, there's a chance for a promotion!

The song "We Workers Have Power" was sung again, but this time it was no longer hummed, but roared out at the top of the lungs, making the iron sheets on the roof buzz.

These days are so damn exciting!

……

……

And the other side.

In Director Lin’s office.

Director Chen of the Ministry of Foreign Trade had not yet hung up the phone. The voice coming from the microphone was full of energy and carried a spirit of not giving up until the goal was achieved.

"Lao Lin! I'll say it one last time!"

"If a versatile talent like Comrade Guangqi is only placed in the research department of your ministry, it would be a waste of his talent and a waste of his talents!"

Director Chen's voice almost jumped out of the receiver.

"Since you're reluctant to let him come to our Foreign Trade Department, then let him go to the Red Star Foreign Exchange Machinery Factory! The new factory has just been established and there's a lot of work to be done. We're in need of a leader who understands both technology and foreign trade, and can handle situations well!"

"Let him be the deputy factory director, responsible for technology, R&D, and foreign trade!"

"Isn't this a hundred times better than your little research institute?"

Director Lin held the phone receiver.

His fingertips tapped unconsciously on the table, and his eyes were fixed on the induction cooker structure diagram that Liu Guangqi had just handed over that morning.

The corners of the drawing——

A line of small words was clearly marked in red pen: [Compatible with the Mao Bear standard voltage].

The value of these few words is self-evident.

After a long time.

He then spoke slowly, his tone a bit teasing: "Old Chen, you're addicted to poaching from me!"

"I tell you, he won't agree."

Director Chen on the other end of the phone laughed heartily upon hearing this: "What do you mean by poaching? That's such a harsh word!"

"This is what I call making the best use of people and things!"

"Besides, with our two department-level units taking the lead, once the Red Star Foreign Exchange Chuanghui Machinery Factory is completed, it will be a truly department-level unit. The rank of deputy factory director will be half a level higher than his current position as a section chief!"

Director Chen paused.

His tone was full of determination: "Are you sure he won't agree?"

Director Lin's smile deepened.

With the confidence of an old fox, he said, "Then...how about we make a bet?"

"Alright! Let's bet! Who's afraid of who?" Director Chen agreed without hesitation. "You lose, so let him go!"

"A word is settled!"

With a "click", the phone was hung up cleanly.

……

……

Director Lin put down the receiver!

The smile on his face widened, and he instructed his secretary, Xiao Li, outside: "Ask Comrade Guangqi to come to my office."

soon.

The office door was knocked again and Liu Guangqi walked in.

"Director, you're looking for me?"

Director Lin pointed to the chair opposite and motioned him to sit down, with a warm smile on his face, as if he was chatting about family matters.

"Guangqi, I saw your induction cooker diagram. It's pretty good!"

“I was not disappointed!”

Finish this.

Director Lin did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point:

"Director Chen from the Foreign Trade Department just called me and talked about the new factory. It's also about you!"

"I?"

Liu Guangqi was stunned and didn't understand what the new factory had to do with him.

Soon, his doubts were answered:

"The Ministry of Foreign Trade—"

"I want you to go to the Red Star Foreign Exchange Machinery Factory as deputy director, in charge of technology, R&D, and export business."

Director Lin leaned forward slightly.

He looked at Liu Guangqi with burning eyes and said word by word: "I want to hear your true thoughts."

Liu Guangqi's heart skipped a beat.

Deputy director?

The weight of this proposal made him feel a little dazed for a moment——

Red Star Chuanghui Machinery Factory.

As you can tell from the name, this is a joint factory of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and the First Ministry of Machine Building.

And because it is led by the departments under the two major ministries!

Administratively, it belongs to the department level unit, and the deputy director corresponds to the deputy department level...

Although it is not as good as the steel rolling mill, a department-level unit directly under the Ministry of Metallurgy, it is definitely not low, especially with the prospects of the foreign exchange market. It is not impossible for it to be directly managed by two major ministries and become a department-level unit in the future!

By the time.

The deputy factory director is not at the deputy division level, but at the deputy bureau level!

Is the Ministry of Foreign Trade so powerful?

The last time I dug myself, I promised that I would be promoted to the rank of section chief as soon as I joined the company.

How long has it been now?

The Ministry of Foreign Trade wanted to poach me again, and this time it was even more aggressive. He was promoted to deputy factory director right from the start, and a deputy factory director with real power.

This is not an ordinary promotion, it is a step to heaven!

So much so.

Even Liu Guangqi was silent for a moment, his brain working rapidly, weighing the pros and cons.

……

After a while.

　Liu Guangqi raised his head and asked tentatively, "Director, the ministry intends to transfer me to the Red Star Foreign Exchange Machinery Factory?"

"It's up to you to decide!"

Director Lin leaned back in his chair, crossed his hands on the table, and his expression became serious.
