A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

A steel rolling mill on Monday morning.

Two jeeps turned into the gate of the steel rolling mill, one after the other.

A person jumped out of the car in front and showed the document in his hand to the security guard at the door.

The security guard quickly moved the iron fence in front of the gate, and after the car drove into the factory area, he hurriedly made a phone call to the factory office.

When Yang Youning rushed out, he saw Minister Xia already chatting with someone in the courtyard.

"Minister Xia! You've come in person?"

He looked at the person next to him.

"Uncle?"

Seeing the sharp look in the newcomer's eyes, Yang Youning shrank back: "No~ Minister Yang, what brings you here too?"

"Such a big matter, we can't not come." Minister Xia kindly helped Yang Youning out of the predicament.

"By the way, where's the thing?"

"The factory made three sets. One set is with the transportation team, and the other two sets were taken by Jiangxia to the village for pilot testing!"

Minister Yang waved his hand, saying he would go check out the factory's setup first. Minister Xia, being the type to go along with the guest's wishes and not being a talkative person, agreed.

The group rushed towards the transport team without stopping.

On the way, Yang Youning didn't dare get into his uncle's car, and squeezed into Minister Xia's car, grumbling, "Minister, why did you summon him? Isn't he from the Ministry of Agriculture?"

Minister Xia was speechless: "Stop 'hiss'! Can't you even call me Minister Yang properly anymore?"

"Where do you think a hand pump is most appropriate to use?"

"The countryside? Didn't Xiao Jiang go down there to conduct a pilot project?"

"Oh! Minister Yang, you're here to steal the credit, aren't you! Let me tell you, you can't let this go! My workshop is almost finished. If you give it up, dozens of people will be left without work, and I'll have to go to your office and cry!"

Minister Xia was both amused and exasperated, truly wondering how Yang Youning had grown up.

He admitted that if he had a nephew who talked about him like that, he would have slapped him and stuck the slap to the wall long ago.

The kind that you can't even button up.

"You're worried about someone stealing the credit? I'm worried you won't be able to do it!"

Huh? What's going on? Yang Youning's eyes lit up, thinking he had feigned ignorance and uncovered some inside information.

When asked to press for details, Minister Xia shook his head and closed his eyes to rest.

Yang Youning was furious.

As soon as the car stopped, he ran to the back car to ask something.

Unfortunately, his limited skills were no match for these cunning old foxes. Minister Yang's few words were enough to force him to flee in disarray.

The leaders arrived a bit early, and the transport depot was full of trucks. The small jeep was parked some distance away from the transport depot.

As the group entered the transport area, they saw a man holding a black rubber hose filling a truck with water.

Minister Yang waved his hand, and the group stopped.

Minister Yang walked forward alone, first following the rubber hose to the hand pump well.

Seeing someone next to me pressing down hard, I silently calculated the distance.

I went into the truck again and listened to the thumping sound of water hitting the metal water tank.

"That's pretty energetic!"

Liu Jun glanced at the old man in front of him, but didn't pay much attention to him.

Lately, there have been many people coming to see the hand pump well, including an old man.

He didn't pay much attention to it, just nodded casually, and continued with what he was doing.

These past few days, the machine tools at the transportation machinery factory have been handling heavy loads, so the water sprayers have to be turned on. There's no room for carelessness.

After Liu Jun removed the tube and moved to the next vehicle, Minister Yang raised his watch and noted the time.

Wow, that's fast! A 20-liter water tank was filled in just 6 minutes.

So, the flow rate provided by this pressure well can reach 4 liters per minute?

Minister Yang was a little agitated.

He jogged over to the hand pump, looked it over, and then said to Old Wang, who was working hard to press the handle, "Comrade, is it hard to press this handle?"

Old Wang chuckled and gestured for Minister Yang to try it out himself. He could take a break.

Minister Yang reached out and took the handle, then gently pressed it down.

Hey, it didn't press!

With a little more force applied, the lever moved down smoothly. Minister Yang nodded to himself; it seemed the report hadn't exaggerated. Even a six-year-old could move it with that much force.

In recent years, Minister Yang, who has been terrified by the exaggeration and boasting, no longer believes any reports submitted from below.

Even Minister Xia, with whom he had a decades-long friendship, was no exception.

At this moment, Liu Jun waved his hand in this direction: "Comrade, hurry up, we need to wash the car!"

Upon hearing this, Minister Yang laughed heartily and quickened his pace.

Then a stream of water gushed out from the black rubber tube in Liu Jun's hand. "Hahaha, great, really great!"

Minister Yang clapped his hands and laughed.

After pressing it for a while, Minister Yang handed over the handle and returned it to Minister Xia.

When Minister Xia saw Minister Yang approaching, he said with a smile, "Well, you still don't believe me? Have I, Xia, ever lied?"

"Hey! Such an important matter! How could I not see it with my own eyes? It's not that I don't trust you, Lao Xia!"

Yang Youning followed behind them, thinking to himself, "Another big deal! What's so big? Explain yourself!"

"Just like that kid said, 'He only says half of what he means, and he dies halfway through his journey!'"

Minister Yang saw his nephew pouting and knew the kid wasn't thinking anything nice.

My legs suddenly felt itchy.

Thinking about what might happen later, I realized I might need this guy's cooperation, so I explained it to him.

The earlier remarks about cooperating with other departments and having a sense of unity were automatically translated by Yang Youning as, "The Ministry of Agriculture is indeed here to steal our fruits!"

Minister Xia was regarded by him as a "traitor who favors outsiders".

Yang Youning, who was just about to fight back like his predecessors, was stunned by what he heard next.

"After investigation, this device can be included in the agricultural subsidy program and recommended for construction in rural areas."

"An agricultural subsidy program?" Yang Youning, stunned by the unexpected windfall, wanted to run away immediately.

"Hey you! Go tell your subordinates to free up two more workshops for me!"

…………

The crazed Yang Youning was eventually subdued by his uncle, and the group got into a jeep and headed towards Jiangjia Village.

Minister Yang's cautious nature cannot be undone by a water pump.

When they set off, Wang Kui, the head of the security department of the steel rolling mill, brought a few more people with him under the pretext of security.

Yang Youning was quite happy, preferring to squeeze in with several soldiers rather than share a vehicle with those two big shots.

On the way, Yang Youning saw a supply and marketing cooperative and got off the bus to buy a case of Erguotou liquor and several large bags of fruit candy.

"Old Wang, have a bite!"

Wang Kui frowned. "What's wrong? Drinking in broad daylight? Getting scolded by the boss and feeling down?"

"Pah, I'm just happy! Let me tell you~~" Suddenly, Yang Youning remembered his uncle's warning.

He quickly cut her off, saying, "Just tell me if you're going to drink or not!"

Wang Kui smiled mysteriously, took the wine, and sipped it gently.

His eyes were fixed on the car window, but a mosquito-like voice came from his mouth: "If you tell anyone, don't blame me for arresting you."

Damn it! I'm surrounded by bad people! Yang Youning was frustrated.
