Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

Su Chen nodded in approval: "Very good, Li Shengtian, your idea is very valuable. I have decided to offer you a contract. Are you willing to sign it?"

Afterwards, Su Chen signaled Assistant Zhang to bring the documents that had been prepared.

When introducing these college students, Su Chen had already planned to recruit them if excellent design products appeared. Although they are currently working in the laboratory, strictly speaking, they are just interns, and neither the research and development results nor the problems encountered during the period have any direct connection with the steel mill.

But once you sign the formal contract, you can immediately join the steel rolling team, not only becoming an important member of the laboratory, but also enjoying generous salary.

Li Shengtian was well aware of these rumors and how many of his classmates had done their best to squeeze into the Red Star Steel Mill. The conditions of the Red Star Steel Mill had long been widely circulated throughout the capital, and its generous benefits were known to everyone.

Therefore, when he heard Su Chen mention the employment contract, he could hardly conceal his excitement. Even though the contract content and salary information were not explained in detail, the reputation of the Red Star Steel Mill had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he firmly believed that there would be no mistakes.

Thinking about the future when he will be able to carry out his favorite scientific research work at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and earn a lot of money, Li Shengtian is even more excited. At this moment, in his heart, Su Chen is like his most admired idol. Facing the employment contract personally handed over by his idol, this outstanding graduate was almost suffocated with excitement.

Seeing his emotional state, Su Chen shook his head slightly, "You haven't even checked the terms of the contract, why did you sign it?"

However, Li Shengtian responded firmly: "I have full trust in you and you will never let me suffer any loss. No matter what the terms are, I will sign this contract!"

Su Chen laughed a little after hearing this. He had never expected that he enjoyed such a high prestige in the hearts of these students. But even so, Su Chen still instructed Assistant Zhang to hand the contract to this outstanding student and let the latter review it carefully. When Li Shengtian signed the contract, Su Chen undoubtedly became a double winner: not only did he recruit a talented designer for himself, but he also got Li Shengtian's technical achievements for free.

With the help of Assistant Zhang, Li Shengtian carefully read the contents of the contract. The contents he saw were consistent with the information that his classmates had previously communicated privately, which made him more determined. Recently, being able to work at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill has become Li Shengtian's biggest wish, so he did not hesitate to sign the contract. The salary and benefits offered by the steel rolling mill also made Li Shengtian very satisfied - it was almost twice the salary offered by other factories. In this regard, Li Shengtian had no reason to refuse, and immediately signed his name and handed the signed contract back to Assistant Zhang.

Seeing this, Su Chen nodded slightly, patted Li Shengtian's shoulder gently, and said: "Since this is your original design, you will be fully responsible for the 'super-large caliber rain-inducing bomb' project from now on."

Li Shengtian was so excited by Su Chen's simple action that he quickly replied, "Director, I will definitely live up to the responsibility and complete the mission successfully!" He originally thought that his proposal might be assigned to other more senior people to lead, but he didn't expect that he could lead the project himself. This unexpected surprise made Li Shengtian's blood boil, and he vowed to speed up the development of the rain-inducing bomb project and hand it over to Su Chen for review.

Colleagues and other students who witnessed this process all looked at him with envy, especially a group of students in the same group as Li Shengtian, who were extremely jealous. They also wanted to find a foothold in the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Unfortunately, they did not have any outstanding design results and could only rely on Li Shengtian's success to survive in their work. Inspired, they secretly encouraged themselves and decided to work hard to pursue innovation and

When this news spread among college students, they were all extremely envious. If possible, they also looked forward to designing practical and valuable products one day.

Su Chen returned to his office leisurely, and today's news cheered him up. This was a sign that his decision was wise, and more top students joining the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill would inspire endless creativity and allow for a steady stream of innovative products in the future.

He brewed a pot of tea himself and sipped it carefully while sitting at his desk. His mind was filled with beautiful fantasies about the future prosperity of the factory - the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill would surely usher in a glorious period of revenue growth.

After lunch, when Su Chen was lazily leaning on his office chair to take a rest, his assistant suddenly called to inform him that a senior military official was coming to visit.

This was not the first time that the military leader had come to visit. Su Chen was used to it and remained calm and composed. He directed the staff to prepare delicious food and tea, and waited for the military leader to come.

The leader stepped into the office and immediately felt the pleasant scenery here - the excellent tea fragrance and various delicious snacks tempted him to stay for a few more minutes. These special snacks were made by the factory cafeteria and were carefully prepared to satisfy Suchen's occasional appetite. Because there were not many choices on the market and the quality was excellent, Suchen ordered the kitchen chefs to create a variety of delicious choices.

Every time he visited, he never forgot to take away some delicious snacks, which led to the military leaders' visits gradually increasing. Now, as their friendship deepened, the leaders began to be more open to Su Chen, and even revealed some secrets of the army to him without reservation.

If anyone else mentioned these secrets, they would certainly have many concerns and worries; however, the military leaders completely trusted Su Chen.

The moment he stepped into the room, he felt as natural as if he had returned home. He found his usual seat, sat down, took a sip of fragrant tea, and then started snack mode.

Seeing his leader being so "unscrupulous", Su Chen couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Although Su Chen did not blame the casual military leader, he himself carefully protected his favorite snacks to prevent the leader from making a surprise attack and taking them.

Noticing Su Chen's actions, the leader snorted, picked up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth, eating while asking: "Do you know anything about the recent international situation?"

Su Chen shook his head slightly and replied: "I have been busy lately and have paid little attention to the outside world." In fact, he was not overly worried about the current developments in the world.

Since he is already familiar with the basic trajectory of historical development, no matter how it changes in the short term, it will not deviate significantly from his predictions. Therefore, he does not think it is necessary to spend precious time every day tracking the news.

Hearing this response, the military leader seemed a little dissatisfied, but he still explained: "Recently, tensions have broken out between the Baba Sheep Kingdom and the White Elephant Kingdom. Soon, the Baba Sheep Kingdom will contact us for weapons and equipment."

As soon as Su Chen heard this, he remembered that this was indeed something that needed attention. Since the other party was "Pakistan Iron" (i.e., a friend of China), assistance was a given. But he also had reservations in his heart: "I have learned about this, but what does this mean for my factory?" Although he planned to provide some help, he did not want the factory to be involved in the conflict at the national level.

After all, a company focused on manufacturing should not be involved in war affairs between countries.

The military officer took a sip of tea seriously and said, "Don't keep saying that it has nothing to do with you. I hope you can take out some of the treasures of the family, otherwise it will be difficult for me to explain to my superiors."

He came here this time to get Su Chen to reveal some information.

Considering that Pakistan will certainly ask ** for help in the future, ** will definitely not assign the task to ** Factory, but will choose to find Su Chen's Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

Instead of waiting for the passive situation to occur, it is better to tell Su Chen in advance so as not to be forced to choose some inferior products.

In response to this, Su Chen spread his hands and said bluntly: "I am indeed not a ** factory. I really cannot arrange what you mentioned." Obviously, he did not intend to intervene in these matters easily.

At present, Su Chen has many large orders on hand, and they have not yet been completed. If he adds orders for the 623 project now, it will probably put a lot of pressure on the factory.

Even though most of the earliest seamless steel pipes have been delivered, continuing to produce these products on a large scale will inevitably offend a certain country.

Although the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill now has the support of the country, it does not mean that Su Chen can produce without any scruples. Su Chen still needs to consider carefully the supply to Pakistan.

Faced with Su Chen's unchanged attitude, the military leader drank tea and enjoyed the snacks on the table. He was too lazy to criticize his arguments anymore.

Even though the Red Star Steel Mill was already considered a definite ** factory under the watchful eyes of the public, Su Chen seemed to be trying his best to hide his true intentions.

In response, the military leader did not mention the ** factory any more, but simply nodded and said: "Okay, I understand, I know your steel rolling mill is not a ** factory."

Su Chen heard these somewhat perfunctory words clearly and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

After the military man delivered this important message, he did not continue to discuss work matters. Instead, he kept praising the delicious snacks provided by Su Chen, with his mouth full of food.

Although I had eaten before, the pastries made by Su Chen's family were indeed tempting. Before I knew it, a plate of snacks had disappeared before my eyes.

He patted his abdomen lightly, still feeling unsatisfied, but when Su Chen saw this scene, he just shook his head without making any further comments.

Recently, this was the few times that the military ** came here and cleared out all of Su Chen's snacks. Fortunately, Su Chen had prepared in advance and took a few extra portions from the cafeteria.

After finishing one plate, the military leader glanced at another plate of snacks next to it and wondered if he should put it in a plastic bag.

Early in the morning, Su Chen's labor company issued a gathering order, notifying everyone to go to Ethiopia. Everyone has undergone a period of training in China, and now it is coming to an end.
