A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

The guesthouse was busy welcoming and seeing off guests.

The water sprinkler may seem simple in structure, but it is actually quite laborious to install.

It's important to understand that there were no advanced power tools in this era; drilling holes in the steel plate under the car had to be done entirely by hand.

Fortunately, Ma Zhendong sent the Four Great Generals over.

Li Tiejun, in particular, was shaking the drill so fast it was almost blurry. Jiang Xia had to keep cooling the drill bit down with a kettle.

Li Tiejun's only request was that Jiang Xia continue to discuss poetry with him.

Jiang Xia held it in for a long time.

"On the yellowed pages of the calendar, time quietly tears at them, and each crack is a whisper of time, telling of past glories and sorrows."

"Great poem! Hey, what do you think, how about changing 'crack' to 'scar'?"

Jiangxia almost hit his head on a tire. What do you mean by good poetry? You actually took a few nonsensical words seriously?

"Jiang Xia, why don't you tell us another story? We really enjoyed the landmine warfare story last time. You haven't finished telling it yet!"

Sun Weidong, one of the Four Great Protectors, was busy connecting the water pipes when he heard this and chimed in.

"Yes, yes, just like last time when we repaired the rolling mill in Workshop 2, you can tell us a story and we'll be motivated to work!"

Li Tiejun also recalled that the landmine warfare sounded really exciting, and he dreamed about digging tunnels and killing Japanese soldiers every time he went back home for those few days.

That time the repairs were done quickly, and I haven't even finished hearing the whole story yet.

Jiang Xia clapped his hands and sat down to catch his breath.

"Alright, I'll continue. I'll take a break too. I'm definitely not as good as you animals. I'm panting after just a couple of tries!"

"Haha, it seems God is fair after all. You have the brains, and I have the strength. We're a perfect match!"

Li Tiejun flexed his biceps at Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia lifted her bottom and silently moved away from him. Grandma was still hoping to hold her grandson; she couldn't go along with his depravity.

"Where did we leave off last time? Oh, I remember now. By the way..."

…………

"Alright! Done!" Jiang Wuzhu shouted to Jiang Xia after tightening the last screw.

Jiang Xia clapped his hands. "Come on, drivers, get in the car and see if there's anything wrong!"

"Wait, this is the most exciting part. Jiang Xia, finish this part!"

"The story is still being written. If you want to hear what happens next, wait until I finish writing it!"

Upon hearing this, everyone could only shake their heads in regret.

One by one, the trucks started up and began circling the factory area.

Jiang Xia also pulled Ma Weihong out of the office and made her stand by the roadside to record the experimental data.

With a rumble, the sight of 15 Jiefang trucks lined up at intervals and starting up together was quite impressive.

This attracted the attention of many workers who were taking a break in the workshop.

"What's wrong with this transport crew now? Why aren't they driving around in their cars?"

"Hey, wait a minute. Look, isn't this truck leaking oil?"

A coworker stared at the truck that had just braked suddenly and asked.

Ma Weihong happened to be nearby: "No, this is a newly added water cooling system. It's for cooling down the brake drums!"

Whether they understood or not, everyone responded with an "oh" in agreement.

The commotion also alerted Yang Youning.

He stood by the window, watching the truck snake along, slamming on the brakes every so often.

"Plop, squelch~"

"Plop, squelch, squelch~~"

Hehe, it seems to work quite well.

Oh, I promised that kid I'd help him find some ribbons, but I haven't even gone to the textile department yet. If I drag this out any longer, I'll get a scolding.

"Xiao Liu, make a note of this and remind me to go to the textile department on Monday!"

Secretary Liu nodded and wrote this down in her notebook.

"Hey, it stopped again! It was going at least 50 km/h just now, and it stopped after only a few meters." Yang Youning clenched his fists by the window.

"Come on, Xiao Liu, take a look. This is our future product! Isn't it amazing!"

Secretary Liu closed his notebook, stood behind Factory Director Yang, and peeked out.

"Hey, what are you doing standing behind me? Can you even see me clearly?" he said, pulling Secretary Liu to his side.

"Look! Isn't that amazing!" he said, patting Xiao Liu on the shoulder. "This was developed by Engineer Xiao Jiang. You should learn from others more in the future."

"If you become my secretary, don't be like some people who only know how to covet what's right in front of their superiors and hide what's wrong from their subordinates!"

"Yes, factory manager. It's about Li Huaide!"

"Hey, what are you afraid of? You're here for an internship, you haven't been assigned a position yet."

As he spoke, he walked to the phone.

"Hello, is this the personnel department? This is Yang Youning. The new guy, Liu Shunlin, will be my secretary from now on!"

"Li Huaide? That son of a bitch, he's never in the office, does he even need a secretary?"

"What, do you think my words carry no weight?"

"Yes, yes. You're officially hired!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

"Go and get the paperwork done. Then take this to Jiang Xia, have him sign it, and then return it to him! He should be with the transport team right now."

Liu Shunlin didn't dare to delay, so he took the documents and went out.

Yang Youning sat down at the table again and began to look through the records: "Hey, you really think you can control everything? Watch me take you down from the brink."

"If your claws stretch out, chop them off first! If you still don't obey, then we'll deal with you all at once!"

At this moment, Yang Youning was like a seasoned hunter.

…………

Zhao Dezhu waited outside the banquet hall for quite a while, but the banquet inside still hadn't ended. His anxiety was largely dispelled by the delicious aroma wafting from inside.

Finally, He Yuzhu enthusiastically invited him to the kitchen, where he enjoyed a meal of leftovers.

"Clerk Zhao, what did you call Factory Director Li just now?"

Halfway through the meal, He Yuzhu asked casually.

"Of course we call him Factory Director Li, what else could we call him!"

"Hey, you mean to say that our Factory Director Li is only a deputy, right? Let me tell you, with Factory Director Li's connections, this factory position will be his sooner or later!"

Zhao Dezhu paused for a moment, then quickly replied.

"Oh, come on, come on. Eat!"

Pshaw, you just called me brother-in-law!

He Yuzhu was serving the dishes right next to Li Huaide. At that close distance, how could he not hear?

But Li Huaide's wife doesn't seem to have the surname Zhao.

Thinking he had discovered something, He Yuzhu smiled slyly.

After the leaders who had attended the banquet had left, Li Huaide summoned Zhao Dezhu again.

"Paws!"

A cold tone came from Li Huaide's mouth.

Zhao Dezhu glanced at Li Huaide, but unfortunately, a warm towel was covering Li Huaide's face, so his expression was completely hidden.

"Clap, clap," Zhao Dezhu's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands.

Seeing that Li Huaide didn't say anything, they slapped him twice more, and the sound was quite crisp.

Li Huaide then slowly took off the towel, and Zhao Dezhu quickly covered his face with his hands.

I rubbed it a few more times, revealing a hint of red.

"Speak, what is it?"

"Yang Youning kicked down your cabinet and had your secretary move all the files from it to his office."

"You even said, 'Go ahead and eat. Don't worry about anything else from now on!'"

"What! Why didn't you say so earlier!" Li Huaide suddenly stood up and shoveled a white towel at Zhao Dezhu's head and face.

"You kicked me out," Zhao Dezhu muttered under his breath, dodging left and right.

Li Huaide gave him a disapproving look.

"Wait a minute, where does this guy surnamed Yang get his confidence from?"

Upon arriving at the guesthouse office, I picked up the phone and made a call.

"Hello, connect me to [department name]."

"Hey, this is Li Huaide from the steel rolling mill. Is so-and-so there?"

"Hey, hello boss. I have something I'd like to ask you about, it's about our factory manager, Mr. Yang..."

"Oh, it's approved? The evaluation is very high? Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, boss."

After making a round of phone calls, Li Huaide sat silently in his chair, lost in thought.

However, the way he looked at Zhao Dezhu was a bit strange.
