A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Yi Zhonghai returned to his workbench, said nothing, picked up the prepared materials, and began filing.

One blow after another. It was as if he wanted to vent all the anger he had just suffered on this workpiece.

Jia Dongxu stood obediently to the side, watching without daring to breathe. He knew perfectly well that the exceptional treatment he received was all thanks to this cheap master.

If you can't do your job well, can't you at least suck up to someone powerful?

Once Master calms down, he can scold him a couple more times, and the matter will be settled.

Thinking of this, she put on a pitiful, downtrodden act.

Sure enough, after a short while, Yi Zhonghai spoke up: "Why do you keep provoking others?"

"Master, I was just focused on my work, but who knew that kid's drawing was different from everyone else's? At first glance, it was all so confusing!"

"That kid must have done that on purpose to get revenge on me!"

Yi Zhonghai was speechless. Was Jiang Xia just bored out of his mind? Was he playing house with him?

An engineer would deliberately draw a crooked diagram just to get revenge on you?

You think you're something special.

Enough, enough. I chose this disciple myself, and he's the one I decided to take care of in my old age, so I should teach him something real.

"You come here, you make this part."

When Jia Dongxu heard Yi Zhonghai's tone soften, he knew he had passed this hurdle again.

Overjoyed, he picked up the file and made a stroke.

"Hey, you little rascal! Is this how you do it? This piece already meets the size standard, and now it's too small!"

"How have I been teaching you? Look at the blueprints! Look at the blueprints!"

Jia Dongxu was a little annoyed; this was how they always did it.

In the past, this kind of filing would have surely earned praise from the master.

They talk about perfect coordination of waist and stance, and powerful strikes. How did it change so quickly?

Blueprints? Who in their right mind reads blueprints?

Yi Zhonghai's strict teacher mode made Jia Dongxu quite uncomfortable.

At the same time, Yang Youning's unbridled behavior left Li Changfu speechless.

"My biological father is gone, and that's it!"

Yang Youning, who had been kicked off the stool, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and burst into tears.

When Secretary Lin brought in the steamed buns, I thought I had entered someone's funeral hall.

Quickly turn around and close the door.

"Minister, what's going on?" Secretary Lin put down the steamed bun, somewhat confused about the situation.

Minister Xia rubbed his head, looking somewhat troubled.

He knew the two guys were faking it, but he didn't feel any resentment. After all, it was the Ministry of Machine Building that had tricked them first.

"Alright, stop wailing. We'll only be giving out 20 more permanent positions, that's all!"

"The rest you'll have to figure out yourselves!"

Wow, Li Changfu was a little surprised. He'd managed to get a few extra spots by killing two birds with one stone; he was quite pleased with himself.

Thinking of this, Li Changfu took out the two-piece set of blueprints for the truck.

"That's it? A few spots? What do you take my steel mill for?!"

"Let us produce this, and I won't bother you anymore!"

Minister Xia casually flipped through the blueprints: "Alright, alright, we'll produce it for you."

Minister Xia had only turned one page when he looked at the large water tank in front of him. He didn't think it mattered much; the steel mill had plenty of scrap anyway, it was just a water tank, a form of self-reliance.

Unexpectedly, Li Changfu grabbed Minister Xia's hand.

"Old Xia, a gentleman's word is his bond! Let's have a written agreement first!"

"Hey, it's just a water tank, right? Go ahead and make one if you want, as long as you don't waste resources~~~"

"However, we still need to calculate the costs. Heh heh, a water tank? Who are you going to sell it to?"

As he spoke, Minister Xia prepared to sign an approval document.

Seeing that Minister Xia was about to sign, Li Changfu breathed a sigh of relief: "Then don't worry about it, just think of it as finding some odd jobs to pay the workers!"

Unexpectedly, Secretary Lin placed his hand on top of it.

"Boss, these blueprints are really thick. Shall we take a look at a few more pages?"

Minister Xia had recovered from his daze and didn't hold Secretary Lin's rudeness against him. When did Old Li become so easy to talk to?

wrong! It's a scam!

He immediately pried open Li Changfu's hand and quickly looked down.

With permission, Secretary Lin picked up the lab report and began to read it.

Upon closer inspection, wow, this thing seems a bit extraordinary!

Minister Xia also noticed something was wrong; this system was more than just a water tank!

After quickly reviewing the blueprints, he took the experimental report from Secretary Lin and began to examine the parts that Secretary Lin had emphasized.

"Is it really that powerful?"

Seeing that he had been discovered, Li Changfu could only nod helplessly.

"With so many signatures, how could it be fake? And what about the driver's probation report!"

"You old Li, you've planted a nail here!" Minister Xia buried his head and looked at it again.

Actually, Old Li didn't have any bad intentions; he was just worried that he wouldn't be able to get a share of the water sprinkler business.

We have a planned economy now!

Even if you're just producing a screw, you still need approval from the ministry. Only after approval can the factory be given the task and production begin.

Before the Ministry of Machine Building was split up, it was in charge of civilian machinery, telecommunications, and shipbuilding production.

If the water sprayers are accepted, they can be directly supplied to car manufacturers for production. Then the steel rolling mills won't need them.

It can be said that he lost his wife and lost his troops.

"Enough with the talk. This thing was developed by our factory. If you dare to take it out, I'll fight you to the death!"

After saying that, Li Changfu gritted his teeth and glared at Secretary Lin, looking like he wanted to devour him.

Secretary Lin felt a chill run through her body.

He shook his head and smiled wryly. There was nothing he could do; this was his job.

You, Li Changfu, got your share of the benefits and just walked away. But I still have to make a living here.

Do you think I'll get a beating once the boss realizes what's going on?

Minister Xia has already seen the production cost and selling price of the water sprinkler.

"Hey, you guys set a really good price. 43.8 yuan."

Li Changfu raised his head: "Life is priceless!"

Minister Xia was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "Well said, life is priceless!"

"Sigh, quite a few drivers who headed west recently have died on the road. It's heartbreaking!"

"If cars came equipped with this from the factory, it would be much more convenient!"

Hearing the minister say this, Yang Youning felt a bitter taste rise in his mouth.

As expected, it's going to be taken away by the car factory again.

"However, this experimental data alone is not enough."

"Okay, let's first get a permit for modifying existing vehicles. We'll see how they perform in actual use before making any further decisions!"

Huh? You can play it like that?

Yang Youning felt a sense of relief, as if his hardship had finally come to an end.

The original plan was to start with modifying vehicles.

This is perfect!

"This belt?" Minister Xia looked at the seat belt diagram again.

"It looks plausible. I don't know if the textile department has such products. How about this, I'll get a letter of introduction and go check it out myself!"

Minister Xia figured that since approving one was the same as approving them all, he might as well approve them all. Without those two putting on a show of suffering in front of him, he might actually live to see the day when the red flag was planted all over the world.

Meanwhile, didn't you see everyone else talking about the "truck two-piece set"? If one thing happens, another will follow.

With that in mind, the minister quickly signed the approval document.

Secretary Lin took it and went to the office to get it stamped.

Minister Xia then pointed to the steamed buns that Secretary Lin had brought: "Eat up, you've been howling for so long, your stomach must be empty!"

"Old Li, you shouldn't hide anything anymore. The Ministry of Machine Building isn't like the old landlords and rich people; the comrades will still be able to eat what they're entitled to!"

After saying that, Minister Xia picked up the steamed bun and took a big bite.

Really fragrant!
