Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

Upon hearing this, Yang Jianguo asked curiously, "Where can you hear my name at your workplace?"

Expert Liu smiled gently and said, "The great expert is my teacher, don't you think?"

Yang Jianguo understood; no wonder he said that.

With the connection of a renowned expert, the conversation between the two became much easier.

However, important matters cannot be delayed.

The assessment should still be conducted in the same way.

“I’ve always heard my master say how solid your foundation is. Let me see it for myself and learn from you today.”

Hearing this, Yang Jianguo didn't mince words: "What does Comrade Liu want to see?"

When it's appropriate to be polite, you should be polite.

Yang Jianguo doesn't hesitate to be polite when it's inappropriate.

We're not some mediocre charlatan who hides his abilities; people will just think he's scared.

Looking at his colleagues behind him, Expert Liu said, "Let's talk about the basic points of the components."

First talk, then do the work; the real test.

The assessment team attaches great importance to special workshops.

It's not just about the level of the assessment; other factors are also involved.

For example, it concerns the resources that special workshops will obtain in the future.

The order in which appointments are made, the importance of acquiring orders, and the ranking are all part of the evaluation.

Of course, such an important matter is not something they can decide on their own.

Later, someone else will come.

Multiple reviews and assessments must be passed.

However, the professional opinions of the assessment team are also an important indicator for comprehensive evaluation.

Chapter 157 The Great Revolutionary Bureau, It's So Good to Have You

The assessment process is not complicated, but it is very tedious.

We must complete everything according to the requirements put forward by the assessment team.

The response should also be as concise and clear as possible.

But these are not the most difficult parts.

The hardest part was when, after the assessment, the other party nodded, said "Not bad," and walked away.

You're left there, wondering whether or not to go through with it.

"Jianguo, what do you think of my performance just now?" Li Yaoguo was at this point.

He's been struggling with this ever since the assessment team left.

Recalling one's past performance, even the slightest imperfection or dissatisfaction will be magnified infinitely in one's mind.

Seeing his conflicted and anxious expression, Yang Jianguo joked, "Go home and find your sister-in-law for comfort. I don't have any here."

Li Yaoguo, annoyed by his interruption, chuckled and scolded, "Hey, your mouth is getting more and more unforgiving."

Yang Jianguo responded with a smile, saying, "Otherwise, how can I keep you in check?"

Li Yaoguo grinned, feeling less conflicted.

Even on such an important day as the assessment, the work still has to be done.

However, they don't have any burdens today.

They're taking on orders that ordinary workshops can't finish, so they're really not busy.

Yang Jianguo handed over his work to Zhang Chao and Qin Huairu.

Without saying a word, the two took over and started...working.

When your master asks you to do chores, it's to help you gain experience. Just keep doing it.

What I fear most are those who never let you be independent and only teach you theory.

In the end, all you'll learn is a bunch of 'fake' knowledge, completely useless, and you'll just have to wait to be eliminated!

Zhang Chao and Qin Huairu have also been under great tension these past two days.

This is not just because the master craftsman needs to undergo a Level 6 certification exam.

The important thing is the level assessment for lower-level jobs.

It was right behind the assessment team, and it started immediately as soon as the person left.

This time, both of them submitted applications.

Level 2 worker is the lowest level in a regular workshop.

They can work independently and have a certain degree of say and choice.

They were treated much better than the two of them who had just graduated and were just there as tools.

This sentiment also indirectly affected the work atmosphere in the workshop.

Seeing that things were not going well, Yang Jianguo picked up a wrench and tapped the steel rail next to him.

Seeing that everyone had been drawn over, Yang Jianguo called out, "I know the situation has been special these past two days, and everyone has something on their mind."

"Me too, wondering when the assessment results will be released."

"No matter how worried I am, I have to finish my work at hand and do it well. That's the most important thing."

"Let's all focus on safety and get back to production. Once we're done with this busy period, I'll treat everyone to drinks."

Upon hearing that Yang Jianguo was going to treat everyone, everyone immediately laughed: "Okay, I'll bring two dishes."

"I brought some meat, so don't try to take it from me."

"Who's going to take it from you? I have two salted fish at home, I brought those too."

"The liquor, the liquor is mine, two bottles of sorghum liquor, mine, it's mine."

With great enthusiasm, a sumptuous feast was prepared, and everyone's pent-up feelings and anxieties were finally released.

When the work bell rings, most of the assigned orders will be completed.

As Yang Jianguo was carrying his tools toward the bike shed, he was stopped halfway there.

"Master Yang, Master Yang, wait a minute." Yang Jianguo stopped when he saw that it was the factory's car driver.

"What's wrong? What's going on?"

Seeing him running so fast, Yang Jianguo chuckled and comforted him, "Don't rush, let's catch our breath first."

He braced himself on his knees with both hands and took a few breaths.

The driver looked up and smiled wryly, saying, "You're quite fast; I chased you all the way from the workshop."

After a lighthearted remark, the driver got down to business: "Director Yang instructed me to inform you to go to the home of a high-ranking official."

"Now?" Yang Jianguo was surprised.

Why did the big boss suddenly call me over?

He's not stupid; he can cook for you and play chess to relieve your boredom.

"It should be the assessment team," the driver casually remarked, then turned and walked back.

His reminder made Yang Jianguo understand.

Well, there's no escaping this time.

In the kitchen, Sha Zhu was carrying a net, intending to go home.

We hosted the assessment team for lunch today, and there were quite a few leftover dishes.

He plans to take it back and have a couple of drinks with it!

If Jian Guo isn't too busy, I'll invite him over... so the two of us can have a drink together sometime.

They thought they were right there, but they were stopped as soon as they got to the door.

"Master He, the factory manager wants you to go to the big leader's house. There will be a dinner party tonight, and we'll have to trouble you to cook."

Sha Zhu's initial excitement subsided, and he nodded in agreement.

After everyone left, he looked at the lunchbox in his hand and said helplessly, "Looks like this drinking session will have to be postponed again."

However, upon thinking about the good things that had happened recently, Sha Zhu was happy again.

He's going to get his marriage certificate with Teacher Ran tomorrow, and the date for the wedding banquet has been set for this week.

Then I can have a good drink with Yang Jianguo.

Walking towards the big leader's house, I saw the 28 parallel bars propped up at the door when I arrived.

Sha Zhu, somewhat curious, went up to take a look at the steel stamp: "Hey~"

He had just felt it was a pity, since the other person was having food and drinks at the big boss's house, and he had to be the cook for him.

In the living room, the top leader, Expert Liu, and Yang Jianguo were chatting enthusiastically about all sorts of things.

This meal is specially prepared to entertain Expert Liu.

Apart from the three of them, there was no one else.

“Jianguo, even in front of the top leader, I still have to give you a few words of advice.”

Having become familiar with the expert, Liu then tried to persuade him to leave the steel rolling mill.

With his abilities, he shouldn't be staying here.

The motherland has many more important undertakings that need talents like him.

Seeing the big boss's bewildered expression, Yang Jianguo gave a straightforward reply.

"I'm not an ambitious person. I just like to stay at the grassroots level and don't want to be too far from home."

"If you ask me, the grassroots level is just as important as your work. It involves people's livelihood and cannot be taken lightly."

"We're in different places, but we're working together for the same... goal!"

Expert Liu was speechless. Could he say that this matter of vital importance to people's livelihood was unimportant?

Furthermore, he was a pure scholar and a technical talent.

When it comes to eloquence, Yang Jianguo is undoubtedly influenced by the "information explosion."

Without this experience, you don't have the opportunity to work at the grassroots level and interact with all sorts of people.

Even if you open your mouth, you can shut him up and leave him speechless.

The expert's skills are excellent, and his academic qualifications are high.

But because of this, he can't access some real things, and it's easy for him to become a hypocrite.

Do you think a rich young master living in a circle of billionaires can imagine the lives and needs of the poor?

I've had contact with them and shown them compassion.

But life changes, and so do needs; there will always be a gap.

Therefore, only by immersing oneself in the grassroots can one truly understand the grassroots.

After in-depth exchanges with expert Liu, he became even more convinced that his choice was right.

During the meal, neither of them managed to convince the other.

There was a kind of mutual respect and admiration, a recognition that the other person was someone of importance.

At the same time, one can also learn from the other person what one lacks.

Expert Liu is floating in the air, looking at the so-called big picture.

Yang Jianguo is down-to-earth, focusing on people's livelihood and their aspirations for a better life.

The two of them together did have a bit of a "double swordsmanship" feel to it.
