Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

Afterwards, Director Yang arranged for workers to transport the machine tools to the workshop and asked the workshop director to assign personnel to use them. He rewarded each person in the technical department with 20 yuan, Section Chief Zhang with 50 yuan, and Li Tianyi with 100 yuan.

No one had any objection to this decision, and after encouraging Li Tianyi and others, they returned to the office to report the good news to the Ministry of Industry.

The Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Industry was also shocked. He didn't expect that an engineer who had just graduated from the Ministry of Industry had made such a great contribution to the factory after only being in the factory for a few days. This really made the Ministry of Industry proud.

Afterwards, the deputy minister also asked Director Yang to cooperate with Li Tianyi as much as possible and strive to make the steel rolling mill better and better.

In the following days, Li Tianyi received more and more good news. He and Section Chief Zhang had repaired 15 of the 10 abandoned machine tools in the warehouse. The remaining 5 were in need of key parts, so they could not be abandoned.

Today's steel rolling mill no longer has extra workshops to accommodate so many machine tools, so Director Yang recently asked his superiors for approval to expand the factory and then recruit workers from the society.

The Ministry of Industry did not agree at the time, but held a meeting to study it. After Li Tianyi finished his work, the steel mill gave him three days off to let him have a good rest.

Li Tianyi has been very tired recently. He has not had a rest for more than half a month and he wants to take a break.

And he also wanted to go to Wang Xue's place. Although people understood that he was busy with work and had no time to see her on Saturdays and Sundays, he couldn't be too passive, and he also missed Wang Xue.

Of course, before going on holiday, he went to see Director Yang and reported his subsequent work plans.

Director Yang saw that Li Tianyi was very enthusiastic, and Li Tianyi could understand. After all, only if the steel mill was doing well could Director Yang be promoted. There was no conflict of interest between them.

"Director Yang, I'm here to report my future work plans to you."

"Mr. Li, don't be so polite. Just tell us how you want us to cooperate."

Li Tianyi looked at Director Yang's expression and began to speak: "It's like this. I checked the machine tools currently used in our steel rolling mill and found that there is still room for improvement. We have four idle machine tools in our warehouse, so I want to use these four machine tools to rotate the machine tools in the workshop and then upgrade them one by one."

Director Yang was thinking about the feasibility of Li Tianyi's plan and the impact it would have on the steel mill.

"Mr. Li, if the machine tools are upgraded, how much will the efficiency improve?" Director Yang was also worried. If the steel rolling mill went through all the trouble but the efficiency did not improve, the higher authorities would start to hold them accountable.

Li Tianyi estimated, and then said conservatively: "According to my estimate, the efficiency can be improved by 30%."

Director Yang looked at Li Tianyi for a long time, and at the same time, his heart was as unsettled as the sea. He had learned about the situation in the steel mill when he took over. Now all the machines in the workshop were supported by the big brother. At the same time, he also understood that these machines had been eliminated.

So today Li Tianyi proposed upgrading the machine and ensuring that it can be optimized by 30%. How difficult is this to accomplish?

Director Yang looked at the young engineer in front of him. He didn't know whether to believe him or not. After all, Li Tianyi was too young.

But when he thought about the contributions Li Tianyi had made since he joined the factory, Director Yang felt relieved.

"Mr. Li, do you think this is okay? Let's replace the next machine first. After this machine is upgraded, we'll see its effect. If the effect meets expectations, we'll continue to upgrade."

Li Tianyi knew Director Yang's concerns. After all, they had not been in contact for a long time and did not know each other well, so he nodded and agreed, "Thank you for your support, Director. I will do my best to complete the upgrade."

"Okay, Mr. Li, I will recommend you to my superiors." Director Yang was very happy. Li Tianyi was not as impetuous as other young people. He was able to understand the difficulties between them, which made Director Yang feel comfortable.

Afterwards, Li Tianyi went to Union Hospital, where Wang Xue worked as a nurse. After Wang Xue got off work, Li Tianyi and Wang Xue went to Mr. Shen's home.

After dinner at Shen's home, Wang Xue escorted Li Tianyi out of the military compound and said, "Brother Tian, ​​drive slowly."

"I know, Xue'er, you should go back and have some rest. You still have to go to work tomorrow."

Wang Xue nodded, then walked into the compound. Li Tianyi rode his bike home only after he could no longer see Wang Xue's back.

The next morning, Master Lei came to Li Tianyi and asked him to inspect the house. Li Tianyi and Master Lei came to the courtyard and checked every room one by one. He was very satisfied with the courtyard.

Li Tianyi happily settled the wages with Master Lei, and then asked Master Lei to help renovate the back room.

Before that, he took back the key of the back house and explained everything clearly. Li's mother and father were very happy. Later, they discussed that after Li Tianyi's courtyard was built, they would ask Master Lei to clean up this room. From then on, this room would be a quiet room.

Li Tianyi told Master Lei about his requirements, and Master Lei said it was no problem and it could be done in about 3 days.

Of course, the news that the Li family was allocated a back house also spread in the courtyard. For this reason, Jia Zhang even instigated Qin Huairu to find Yi Zhonghai and ask Yi Zhonghai to allocate one to their family as well.

Yi Zhonghai might have been used to being the king in the Siheyuan, and felt that he was invincible in the Siheyuan, so he went directly to the Li family and asked them to give up the house.

The Li family didn't tolerate him, and Li's father immediately rebuked him. Li Tianyi wanted to speak, but was stopped by Li's mother, "Tianyi, don't go. Your father is here. What are you going to do up there? Watch your father deal with Yi Zhonghai."

Yi Zhonghai saw that his words were useless, so he winked at Sha Zhu, who immediately stepped forward and pushed Li's father. Li Tianyi could not bear it, so he grabbed Sha Zhu's hand and said, "Sha Zhu, if you want to go to jail, then try to touch me. Don't think you can act like a tyrant in the courtyard. We don't bother with you. If you dare to make a move today, I will kill you today. And you, Yi Zhonghai, don't think that I can't touch you just because that old woman in the backyard supports you. I didn't want to bother with you before, but believe it or not, if you dare to make a move today, I will send you and the Jia family to jail tomorrow. Don't think that others don't know about the dirty things between you."

Li Tianyi's words shocked everyone in the courtyard. At this time, the younger sister who went to the police station to report the case led the security guards to the courtyard.

Seeing the security guard coming, the people of the Jia family were scared and quickly hid in the house.

Li Tianyi stepped forward to explain the situation to the security guard and showed him the documents from the street office. He also told him about how Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu, the deaf old lady, and the Jia family usually abused their power in the courtyard. The neighbors around also talked about the situation.

The security guard did not expect that after ten years of liberation, there were still people who dared to act like local tyrants. At the same time, he asked another security guard to go to the street office to invite Director Wang.
