Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

This sounds like he's being told to move.

"You're right, we want to give you a chance to move around and get you into a more important position where you can unleash your passion."

The door suddenly opened, and Yingzi came in carrying a plate of sunflower seeds and milk candy. "Chief, please have some sunflower seeds."

"Good, good." The senior leader nodded happily and said, "Comrade Li Ying, you've worked hard all these years."

Yingzi quickly shook her head and said modestly, "You're joking, sir. I'm not having any trouble. I'm just doing my job well."

"Hey~ You can't say that!"

“If you didn’t take such good care of the family, Jian Guo wouldn’t be able to focus on his work.”

"It's like fighting a war. If logistics aren't handled well, where will the soldiers at the front get the morale to win the battle?"

"You deserve at least half the credit for what the country accomplished."

Seeing her standing there, smiling gently and modestly, the senior leader continued speaking.

"Besides, you're doing a great job at the food factory!"

"They repeatedly defused the workers' hostile sentiments, suppressed the momentum of the rebels, and prevented them from taking control."

"These contributions, which ensured the normal production and supply of food factories, are evident to all and will not be forgotten by anyone."

It's clear that the big leader did his homework before coming.

He had witnessed everything that had happened to the two of them over the years, their contributions, and their efforts.

Don't let his location in the south fool you; he still has eyes and ears in the capital. Look, there's one right next to Yang Jianguo!

"You mean Director Yang? He mentions you to me all the time," Yang Jianguo replied with a smile.

The top leader was also smiling, but his smile gradually turned serious.

"Jianguo, thank you for protecting Lao Yang. If it weren't for you, he would have been removed from his position as factory director long ago."

The top leaders see things clearly; in Beijing, the leadership teams of many factories were ousted after being labeled.

Those who sweep the streets and clean toilets are dragged out for public criticism and parades every day.

There isn't a single person like Lao Yang, sitting comfortably in his factory director position.

why?

It was all thanks to Yang Jianguo that the factory was united and worked together as one.

The conflicts and factional brawls that occurred in other factories never happened in the steel rolling mill.

Even during difficult times, Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill ensured full production and external supply.

It can be said that this is the only one of its kind in the entire country.

The top leader had just returned and was reporting for the meeting when he heard someone specifically mentioning Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

We need everyone to analyze and learn.

Why is Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill able to maintain stability and order? Why was it able to ensure production during difficult times and make so many breakthroughs?

How did they do it? How did they unite?

We must study diligently and encourage everyone to learn together.

"Commander, I am just a worker, I only did what I was supposed to do." Yang Jianguo was extremely modest.

But the top leader loved hearing this, saying, "Jianguo, you've hit the nail on the head."

"Understand your place and do your job well, that's why you've succeeded!"

"Some people just focus their attention on other things and don't care about their work at all."

Hearing his pointed remark, Yang Jianguo didn't ask any further questions.

The problems of high-ranking leaders are not his concern or a problem to solve.

He's more interested in knowing what his future plans are.

"What I mean is, I want to transfer you to the ministry, to take charge of the main core work of precision manufacturing."

"Of course, it involves a higher level and there are more specific things to do."

As if guessing his thoughts, the senior leader smiled and said, "Don't feel pressured! You need to show the courage to let everyone go out and explore."

Hearing his teasing remark, Yang Jianguo chuckled: "That's everyone's wish. What good can come of going against the people?"

"That's right, going against the people will never end well."

They chatted inside for four or five hours before the big boss left late at night.

He gained a great deal from this trip and felt very satisfied.

I wasn't wrong about it back then.

At the same time, it also made him more determined in his ideas.

Yang Jianguo must be transferred to a more important position to accelerate the development of industrial technology in Guijia.

These admirable people, under immense pressure during difficult times, bought time to maintain industrial progress.

We cannot waste this time on pointless struggles.

Chapter 268 Succession, There's Only One

"Dad, are you going to work in another city?"

At dinner, the now graceful young maid Zhiyi looked at him with a melancholy expression.

Zhiyuan was still eating with his head down, but his ears were perked up...

Yang Jianguo glanced at Yingzi and laughed, "Your mother told you to ask, right?"

Zhiyi glanced at her mother nervously and said, "I only thought of it when I saw Grandpa come to the house."

This might fool outsiders, but to fool her own father?

How could I not know what kind of girl she is?

Yang Zhiyi is a carefree, easygoing, and cheerful person.

She also saw her grandfather, something she came up with herself...

"No, I'll stay in Beijing, but my workplace might change."

As soon as Yang Jianguo finished speaking, Yingzi looked up and asked, "You've been transferred to a new workplace, but you're still in the capital?"

Looking at him with a playful expression, Yingzi blushed and said, "I'm asking for my daughter."

Even though they've been married for a long time, they still have plenty of fun in their lives.

Despite being pampered and doted on by Yang Jianguo, Yingzi still retains a girlish side.

The two children are used to their occasional blushing.

"My mom blushed again," Zhiyi said, looking at her mother with a mix of teasing and envy.

Zhiyuan, who was eating with his head down, hummed in agreement: "Isn't that normal?"

Yingzi looked at the two children, both amused and exasperated. "How dare you talk to your mother like that? You're asking for a beating!"

Zhiyi stuck out her tongue playfully and said, "Ugh~ So cloying!"

After the joke, Yang Jianguo explained his job transfer to his family.

The senior leader's previous intention was to transfer him to the Ministry of Industry to continue overseeing precision manufacturing.

The development direction in the domestic field, specific R&D projects, funding approval and project review, etc.

Frontline work is indispensable, but it also involves some administrative decision-making.

Being the only one doing the project can easily lead to being choked.

"Then what about your workshop?" Yingzi knew his feelings for the workshop.

That's where the man's father works.

It is a place where he studied and worked for more than ten years, a place filled with so much beauty and struggle.

His youth, his memories, and the colleagues and friends he cherished were there.

Yang Jianguo pondered for a moment and said, "I'm also considering who should take over."

There are only two suitable successors: Li Yaoguo and Zhang Chao.

With a solid foundation and a pragmatic and hardworking learning style.

Zhang Chao is now a level six riveter, which means he has officially graduated and can now train his own apprentices.

Yang Jianguo was satisfied with having him take over the business.

But ever since Yang Jianguo became the workshop director, Li Yaoguo has been his most capable assistant.

She helps him handle all matters unrelated to work, and she's also very capable at her job.

They are extremely familiar with the processes, regulations, and operating methods in the workshop.

The other workers also trusted him and respected him as the second-in-command of the workshop.

If Yang Jianguo were to suddenly promote Zhang Chao, he would inevitably worry that some people would be dissatisfied.

Yang Jianguo felt it was a bit risky whether Zhang Chao could handle the situation.

However, if Li Yaoguo were to take over, Zhang Chao's position would inevitably become somewhat awkward.

After all, after I left.

The core task is for him to take over and control the direction.

As for Master Hao, he retired three years ago.

Now she stays at home taking care of her son's children, living a peaceful and ordinary life.

"It would be better to call the two of them together and talk things out face to face," Yang Jianguo muttered to himself, as if he were consulting with Yingzi.

Yingzi nodded and said, "That's how it should be. If we make things clear, there won't be any misunderstandings."

"However, I think Zhang Chao should take over. We should give young people more opportunities!"

Yang Jianguo nodded in agreement, "That's what I was thinking too... I'll ask Yaoguo about it later!"

After being colleagues and friends for over a decade, he couldn't completely ignore Li Yaoguo's thoughts.

After serving as the second-in-command for so many years, he left and handed the position over to his apprentice.

Yang Jianguo planned to ask Li Yaoguo himself if he felt uncomfortable about it.

"What's so awkward about it? What's wrong with that?" Li Yaoguo said with a grin, tilting his head and saying directly, "I'm only fit to be the second-in-command."

"If you really put me in charge, I'm not sure I could handle it."

"Let Zhang Chao take over, and I'll be his second-in-command, just like when you were here."

Li Yaoguo rubbed his chin and joked playfully, "So, I guess I'm a veteran of two dynasties?"

Yang Jianguo nodded, both amused and exasperated, and said, "Yes, a veteran of two dynasties, the number one meritorious official."

"Hey~ Sounds nice, feels good!" Li Yaoguo smugly tilted his head back and took a few steps forward with his pigeon-toed gait.

He kept laughing to himself, then came back and sat down next to him. Li Yaoguo asked, "Are you really leaving?"

This topic brings up a lot of feelings.

Fourteen years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the scene of Yang Jianguo's first day at the factory seems like it was just yesterday.

“Yes, fourteen years...it’s time to leave.” Yang Jianguo glanced at the drastically changed workshop, now filled with all sorts of advanced instruments.

My heart is also filled with memories.

But this gentleness was shattered the moment he stepped out of the workshop by his perseverance and conviction.

It's not time for him to stop yet. The empire's desire to destroy us remains undiminished, and our motherland is not yet prosperous and strong.

The awakened dragon is still gathering its strength, waiting for the right moment to soar into the sky.

The enormous technological gap is like an insurmountable chasm, requiring generations of people to work hard and strive with all their might to catch up.

After a decade of quiet preparation, Yang Jianguo is determined to dedicate his knowledge and ambition to the rise of the motherland.
