Chapter 103

"Then Director Li, you should familiarize yourself with it first. I'll let Xiao Wu stay here. You can ask him to do anything you need."

"it is good."

Li Jiandong nodded and watched Director Guo leave.

Then he waved to Jia Dongxu and Yan Jiecheng, led them into the automobile manufacturing plant, and the dormitory prepared for them, and then closed the door.

the other side.

Li Huaide was very unhappy when he heard that Li Jiandong was transferred.

In the eyes of others, being transferred out to provide support is a hard job, but in Li Huaide's eyes, this is an opportunity to make meritorious service.

Just like when the steel mill was carrying out independent research and development before, he was assigned to be the person in charge, isn’t it the same meaning?

However, why give this opportunity to Li Jiandong?

He is already the director of the Political Affairs Department. Even if he makes a contribution this time, it will not be enough for him to go further.

Why can’t Xiaoning’s father fight for her?
Or did he originally give this opportunity to Li Jiandong in order to repay him for saving Xiao Ning?

"I'm so pissed off. They are really a father and daughter. They both like to stick their elbows out."

"Even if Li Jiandong has made great achievements this time, it is not enough to be promoted to deputy factory director. But if this achievement is given to me, maybe he will be qualified to move to another place and make further progress."

"Why would they rather give it to the useless Li Jiandong than to me?"

Li Huaide gritted his teeth, feeling that the most important thing in his life had been taken away from him.

Just at this moment, a clerk walked in and said, "Director, Deputy Director Dai wants you to come over."

"What does he want from me?"

Li Huaide asked unhappily.

The clerk shook his head: "I don't know, the leader didn't say."

"Damn it, there's nothing but trouble every day. If there's any work, why don't they just arrange it for me? I have to go there myself to find it."

Li Huaide was in a bad mood and walked out of the office cursing.

However, when he reached the second floor, the depressed expression on his face had completely disappeared. He tried his best to force a natural smile and then knocked on the door of Deputy Director Dai's office.

"Please come in."

Li Huaide pushed the door open and walked in, bending over and saying, "Deputy Director Dai, do you want to talk to me about something?"

Deputy Director Dai glanced at him and said with a gloomy face:
"Huide, your publicity department's recent work has not been up to par."

"Last week, we arranged for you to show a movie at the machine repair factory, but you were more than an hour late. Yesterday, we arranged for you to show a movie at the meat processing factory, but you were also more than half an hour late."

"What do you want to do? Do you know how passive this makes our work?
Apart from other issues, if the meat processing plant is not properly handled, the meat supply problem for all our workers will be difficult to solve in the future.”

"When you go back, write me a self-review of no less than 800 words, reflecting on the mistakes you made in your recent work.

You must prevent similar problems from happening in the future, or you will go to the sister company and apologize in person."

"Go and implement it."

Li Huaide was a little confused, he had never heard of this matter.

After walking out of Deputy Director Dai’s office with a dizzy head and returning to the Propaganda Department, Li Huaide finally remembered.

Isn’t it Xu Fugui’s job to show movies?
He is the only projectionist in the entire steel mill, and this guy actually dares to let him down?
"Damn it, someone, call Xu Fugui over here."

Li Huaide was angry at that time.

He hasn't dealt with Xu Fugui recently, but Xu Fugui has caused him trouble instead.

It’s just that while Li Jiandong is away recently, we must take down this blind guy.

at the same time.

After Li Jiandong discussed the subsequent R&D plan with Director Guo, the group was heading towards the guesthouse.

On the other side, four engineers and 20 senior workers also came to Canteen No. 1.

This canteen is specially prepared for engineers and people from the steel mill. The food there is very hospitable. Although it is not as good as that in a small kitchen, it is still quite juicy.

Chang Hanqing was also eating here, and there were a few seats next to him.

But no one wanted to sit.

In fact, he is usually quite polite in dealing with people, and his temper is not as hot as it seems in meetings.

But I don't know why, everyone just keeps their distance from him.

Maybe he is still a little arrogant in his bones, which makes people around him feel uncomfortable.

But he didn't care, as long as no one interfered with him and he could work for the country and develop the tram, that was enough.

As for friends, it doesn’t matter whether you have them or not.

"Hey, are you the turtle?"

"Brother, it's not a turtle, it's a sea turtle."

"I know. A sea turtle is a turtle in the sea. Isn't that right, Comrade Turtle?"

Chang Hanqing looked up and saw two young men walking towards him with lunch boxes, speaking to him with provocative eyes.

Then, put the lunch box directly on the table in front of him and sit down.

Sitting opposite Chang Hanqing were fellow apprentice brothers Jia Dongxu and Yan Jiecheng.

Li Jiandong wanted to take Chang Hanqing as his apprentice, but it would not work if he just said it directly. Chang Hanqing looked down on Li Jiandong, so how could he possibly be his apprentice?
So Li Jiandong arranged for Jia Dongxu and Yan Jiecheng to come and provoke.

It would be a bit degrading for him to do such a thing himself, but it would be unreasonable for his disciples to provoke Chang Hanqing in order to protect him as their master.

Seeing two strangers coming to provoke him, Chang Hanqing couldn't help but frown.

He hadn't realized that the two men were Li Jiandong's apprentices, so he didn't say anything and planned to leave with his lunch box.

He was too arrogant and did not take the provocation from Jia Dongxu and Yan Jiecheng seriously at all.

For him, instead of responding to these two people, it would be better to go back to the house and write a few more equations.

Jia Dongxu and Yan Jiecheng didn't expect him to have this reaction.

However, the two men quickly stood up and continued to stand in front of Chang Hanqing.

"Hey, Comrade Turtle, are all these turtles overseas so rude? We were talking to you and you didn't even say a word. Are you looking down on us?"

Jia Dongxu rarely speaks to people like this, but his acting is quite realistic.

Chang Hanqing sneered and said, "You keep calling me a turtle. Who is being rude? If you want others to respect you, you must first be worthy of respect."

"Hey, brother, this kid is talking. I thought turtles couldn't talk."

Yan Jiecheng was not angry at all about being discriminated against. After all, they all knew that he was pretending to be rude. So what if he was rude?
Before, during the meeting, wasn’t Chang Hanqing also rude to their master?

It's okay to insult them, but it's not okay to look down on their master.

Jia Dongxu also said cheerfully: "How could he not be able to speak? Wasn't he quite talkative during the previous meeting?"

"Yes, look at my memory, I almost forgot it."

Yan Jiecheng also spoke in agreement.

The two brothers sang in unison, just like they were performing a double act.

At this time, Chang Hanqing also figured out what was going on. It turned out that it was the people from the steel rolling mill, and he stood up for Li Jiandong.

He sneered and said, "Two young comrades, you have to speak with strength. If you think what I said is wrong, you can let your Director Li compare with me. Of course, the premise is that he has the courage."

Jia Dongxu and Yan Jiecheng were waiting for him to say this.

Upon hearing this, Jia Dongxu immediately said, "Boy, stop flattering yourself. My master is such a great man. How can a little turtle like you compare to him?"

Yan Jiecheng followed suit and said:
"My master bullied you when we competed. I heard that you are a top student who came back from abroad. Do you have the courage to compete with us brothers?"

There were a lot of people in the cafeteria, and the three of them had an argument, and soon a circle gathered around them.

The workers at the steel mill knew that Jia Dongxu and Yan Jiecheng were Li Jiandong's apprentices and could understand their provocation.

However, the workers at the car factory did not know them and thought that the two men were just asking for trouble.

Chang Hanqing sneered with disdain: "You want to compete with me? Haha, sorry, you are not worthy."

"Really? I see you're scared?"

"It turns out that the top students who come back from abroad are all paper tigers, their only strength is their mouth."

"You didn't even dare to fight back when we provoked you. How dare you compete with our master? Fortunately, we are not in wartime now. Otherwise, you would have just swum back abroad, right?"

"If you don't dare to compete, forget it. Don't show up in front of our fellow disciples in the future, so as not to embarrass yourself."

Jia Dongxu and Yan Jiecheng kept arguing with each other, and the words became increasingly unpleasant.

In fact, Li Jiandong asked them to be as polite as possible, but the two of them imagined the scene in the conference room where Li Jiandong was confronted by a young man who had only returned from overseas, and they felt very angry.

Chang Hanqing felt a little angry when being ridiculed like this.

At this time, a woman with short hair and capable appearance walked into the cafeteria. Seeing a group of people gathered in the cafeteria, she couldn't help but look over here.

When Chang Hanqing saw this woman, his expression suddenly changed. When he looked at Jia Dongxu and Yan Jiecheng, there was a hint of sharpness in his eyes: "You want to compete, right? How do you compete?"

Jia Dongxu and Yan Jiecheng were about to mock him, but they were delighted when they heard this.

"This isn't that simple. Of course it's easier than making a car."

Yan Jiecheng said.

Jia Dongxu next to him added: "However, we are not competing to build electric cars. We don't know when the development of electric cars will take. Let's compete to build ordinary trucks first. You can choose the engine or transmission."

Jia Dongxu said that he would let Chang Hanqing choose, but he knew that Chang Hanqing could only choose the territory.

After all, he studied electric cars and had no idea about engines and gearboxes.

"Okay, let's compete in building truck chassis."

Chang Hanqing agreed immediately and said angrily, "But I can't compete with you for nothing. If you lose, I will make you squat at the entrance of the cafeteria and learn to bark like a dog for a day."

"Okay, but if you lose, you will have to be our junior apprentice. You can call us senior brother when you see us in the future."

Jia Dongxu finally revealed his ultimate goal.

Chang Hanqing responded without thinking: "No problem, it's settled."

He didn't know Jia Dongxu and Yan Jiecheng, but he knew he couldn't lose to them. He was a sea turtle doctor. When he was abroad, he participated in the design and production of electric vehicles. Although his main focus was on motors and power supply, he also had some research on the design of the entire vehicle.

Before returning to China, he also learned about the domestic car manufacturing environment, which can be said to be extremely poor and with no experience at all.

Jia Dongxu and Yan Jiecheng are so young. Even if they know something about trucks, how much can they know?
Chang Hanqing really couldn't find any reason to lose to them.

What's more, Jin Canlan was watching beside them.

Chang Hanqing fell in love with this retired female soldier at first sight when he met her for the first time on the train.

How could he allow himself to be provoked in front of the woman he loved without fighting back?

What happened here soon spread to the guesthouse. After hearing the conditions that Chang Hanqing won, Director Guo expressed on the spot that he would go and persuade Chang Hanqing. Isn't it nonsense to let Director Li's two apprentices learn to bark like dogs?
But Li Jiandong stopped him.

"Director Guo, it's a good thing for young people to be competitive. Only by comparison can we catch up. Just let them do it."

Director Guo also felt that what Li Jiandong said made sense.

"Don't worry, Director Li. I will educate Chang Hanqing in private. Even if he wins, I will not let your apprentice do anything."

"Hahaha, Director Guo, you should just ignore them. It's more stressful if there's some stakes. Just let them be."

Li Jiandong couldn't let their bet go to waste, as he was planning to take Chang Hanqing as his apprentice.

Although this approach is not very upright, as long as Chang Hanqing takes him as his teacher, it will be of great benefit to both parties and even to the development of the country.

The competition started in the afternoon, and the main focus was on the design and production of three important parts on the chassis: transmission, braking, and steering. The winner was only if they could be installed on the chassis and operate normally.

Chang Hanqing didn't know how to do it himself, so he had workers from the car manufacturing plant to make car parts for him, but it was much easier for Jia Dongxu and Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng's current maintenance level has reached level 7, and he is quite familiar with every part of the truck chassis.

Coupled with his unique skill of truck mastery, his overall strength is even far beyond that of an ordinary level 8 mechanic.

Jia Dongxu is also a level 7 fitter, and with his unique skill of precision eyes, his success rate in manufacturing parts is very high, and almost every part is completed in one step.

Of course, there are some parts that need to be cast in one piece, which do not need to be made by both parties. Automobile manufacturers have plenty of such accessories, so they can be used directly. Anyway, these things are not technically difficult, and the quality of their work will not have much impact on the outcome.

"The people in the steel mill are really good. You wouldn't expect them to be so skilled despite their young age."

"I heard that they are Director Li's apprentices and have been promoted a long time ago. I didn't expect that even after becoming a leader, their skills are still so superb. I'm afraid both of them are at the level of eighth-level workers."

"Isn't it too much to call them level eight workers? But they work very well together, one designing and the other making, and their speed is much faster than ours."

"I've said it before, Dr. Turtle is nothing but a dreamer. He can't even compare to Director Li's two apprentices, and yet he has the nerve to question his position as the commander-in-chief."

"You can't say that. After all, Chang Gong works in our factory, so we have to support him."

"I would like to support him, but who asked him to provoke others first? It's ok for him to put on airs in front of us normally, but this time he has hit a wall, right?"

The workers around were discussing heatedly, and Chang Hanqing over there also noticed something wrong.

These two young men whom he had never taken seriously before turned out to have such superb professional skills. No wonder they were chosen for support.

They are just Director Li's apprentices, but they are already so powerful.

Could it be that Director Li did not climb up the ladder through nepotism, but is really a capable person?
At this moment, Chang Hanqing had realized that he had met a master, but his pride did not allow him to accept failure.

So what if Director Li is really capable?

He is a doctor who came back from the sea turtle, and he will never lose to his two apprentices.

Unfortunately, he was fighting alone, although his chassis design was comparable to Yan Jiecheng's.

But the workers who made accessories for him were far inferior to Jia Dongxu in terms of their abilities.

The entire fight lasted for a full eight hours, and Chang Hanqing had not yet completed one-fifth of it.

Jia Dongxu and Yan Jiecheng have already assembled all the parts onto a disassembled truck.

The transmission, brakes and steering devices worked perfectly together, and after starting, the truck moved under the watchful eyes of everyone.

"Awesome, so awesome."

"No wonder I heard that the steel mill can repair scrapped trucks by itself. They really have the technology."

"It's worth it that I didn't even go home to watch their game here. It's really exciting."

The workers at the automobile manufacturing plant were convinced, and the people at the steel mill were also proud.

What happened to the turtle?
What happened to the Doctor?
Were they not defeated by our worker brothers in the same way?

Chang Hanqing had a complicated expression, one of reluctance and self-doubt.

What made him unwilling was that the workers who cooperated with him were much weaker than Jia Dongxu.

What he doubted was that his understanding of the chassis was comparable to that of a young man who looked only about 20 years old.

At the age of 20, he hasn’t even graduated from college yet. How could a worker who has never even attended college have the same understanding as me?

Doesn't this mean that his studies were in vain? Although his best skill is not chassis design
"How's it going, Junior Brother? Are the senior brothers' skills okay?"

"I'm willing to admit defeat. Hurry up and call me brother."

Jia Dongxu and Yan Jiecheng came over. They were also very excited to beat Dr. Turtle.

Chang Hanqing was not convinced, but he did not want to admit defeat.

At this time, Li Jiandong finally appeared.

In order to wait for Chang Hanqing to lose to Jia Dongxu and the others, he didn't even have dinner.

At this moment, he walked up to Chang Hanqing and said, "Chang Gong, accept the bet and be my apprentice."

When Chang Hanqing saw Li Jiandong, he knew he had been fooled.

This cunning old fellow must have deliberately sent his disciple to provoke me, just to recruit me as his disciple and to avenge me for my previous provocation against him.

"You want to be my master? What can you teach me?"

Chang Hanqing didn't want to go back on his word, he wanted Li Jiandong to give up.

Li Jiandong smiled and said:
"Confucius said: When three people walk together, there must be one person who can be my teacher. You are better than me in trams, but I can still teach you something in other mechanical aspects. Just now, my two apprentices have defeated you. I believe you don't think that is a coincidence, right?"

Li Jiandong's words left Chang Hanqing speechless.

His apprentice has indeed proved that he is better than himself in mechanics. If even the apprentice is so strong, then the master must be even stronger.

Although Chang Hanqing was arrogant, he respected knowledge very much. As long as he could learn something that would be helpful in building the power plant, what would it matter if he became his disciple?

Even Confucius believed that there must be a teacher among three people. Am I more awesome than Confucius?

"Okay, I'll take you as my teacher."

Although Chang Hanqing had a bad temper, he was very conscious and thought that as long as he could build the tram, a little grievance didn't matter.

Of course, this is because he has not yet seen Li Jiandong’s true strength.

That's why he feels wronged. When he gets guidance from Li Jiandong in the future, he will regret his arrogance today.

"Hahaha, okay, then from today on, you are my seventh apprentice."

A system prompt sounded in Li Jiandong's mind. After two years, he finally accepted a new apprentice.

Jia Dongxu and Yan Jiecheng beside him also smiled:
"Junior brother, I'm sorry for what happened in the cafeteria before. Your second senior brother and I were deliberately provoking you. Don't take it to heart."

"Brother, you underestimate Junior Brother Seven. He is a returned overseas doctor. How could he not see through my little trick?"

"That's right. In that case, I won't say much. We still have to build cars together in the future, so we can get to know each other slowly."

Master Li Jiandong and his two disciples were all very happy.

Although Chang Hanqing was a little depressed, he quickly accepted the fact.

This is his own choice. He just hopes that he can really learn something from Li Jiandong so that his apprenticeship will be worthwhile.

After returning to the dormitory, Li Jiandong checked the apprentice recruitment system.

Chang Hanqing's profession is mechanical engineer and tram engineer.

Among them, tram engineers have reached level 6, and mechanical engineers are slightly lower, having reached level 7.

"No wonder his understanding of the site is on par with Jie Cheng's. He turns out to be a level 7 mechanical engineer."

Li Jiandong was amazed. Chang Hanqing was a dual-career engineer. There were 9 levels of engineers in total, and 10 levels including assistant engineers. The smaller the number, the higher the level. Level 6 and 7 engineers were considered relatively senior, and level 3 and above were academician levels.

However, the system does not mark Chang Hanqing's status as a doctoral student, which may be related to the fact that this degree is not yet available in China.

Siheyuan.

Middle Court.

Li Huaide was very angry today because he was scolded by Deputy Director Dai at the company because of the projectionist's lateness.

I wanted to find the person involved, Xu Fugui, to vent my anger, but when I asked someone to find Xu Fugui, I found out that he had taken a day off and didn't come.

Li Huaide got angry at the deputy director who approved the leave note for Xu Fugui.

It turned out that the deputy director was Director Yang's man, and he ignored his position as the head of the company and instead ridiculed him.

Li Huaide got angry and went straight back to the courtyard to find Xu Fugui, but Xu Fugui was not in the courtyard at all.

It was not until the evening when Yan Bugui came back that he found out that they had gone to the countryside to show a movie.

Li Huaide was so angry that he didn't even eat dinner. He just waited for Xu Fugui to come back and scold him.

As the clock was almost reaching 9 o'clock, every household had turned off the lights and prepared to go to bed, when the sound of a bicycle bell vibrated was heard from the front yard.

Xu Fugui walked in pushing his bicycle, and Li Huaide got furious on the spot.

"Xu Fugui, where have you been today? You asked for leave during work hours just to make extra money? Where is your ideological awareness?"

Xu Fugui didn't expect that Li Huaide was waiting for him in the yard, and the sudden voice scared him.

However, he soon calmed down and said:
"Hey, isn't this Director Li? I asked for leave today, and it was approved by Deputy Director Sun. I'm not absent from work. What ideological awareness are you talking about?"

"How dare you talk back?"

Li Huaide pointed at Xu Fugui's nose, wishing he could slap him in the face.

Xu Fugui was not afraid of him at all. When he had a disagreement with He Daqing in the past, He Daqing was much more irritable than Li Huaide, and he had never been seen to be cowardly.

He sneered and said, "Li Huaide, who do you think you are? Why don't I dare to talk back to you? You are the head of the department in the steel mill. Who do you think you are when you return to this hospital?"

Xu Fugui originally wanted to not offend either side.
