Chapter 148

"To be honest, I have a good feeling about you. How about we go out together?"

"We in the Yan family are all very caring. Look, my brother treats my sister-in-law very well. If we are together, I will definitely treat you well too."

Yang Xue rolled her eyes when she heard this.

"Yan Jiefang, the country and the steel mill need us right now. I just want to do research and don't want to talk about personal issues for the time being."

Yan Jiefang insisted:

"Your research won't interfere with your marriage, otherwise when I'm older, it'll force me to get married, and I'm afraid people will laugh at me if I tell others about it."

"I'm not afraid."

"No, you are not afraid of me, but I am. Otherwise, can you just help me? Your master said that if I want to become a regular employee, I must get married and separate from my parents first. Can you just help me?"

Yang Xue was puzzled. She looked at Yan Jiefang and said, "What are you talking about? Can you help me with this kind of thing casually? If you are in a hurry to get married, go find someone else. I don't have time to discuss these issues with you."

Yang Xue was almost speechless. If it weren't for the fact that Yan Jiefang was the second senior brother's younger brother, she would have kicked him out of the door long ago.

Yang Xue didn't look down on him, but she really didn't think about her own personal problems at all and was focused on research.

Now that Li Jiandong has created the conditions for her, she is even more eager to build the CNC machine tool as soon as possible.

She had no time to think about anything until the job was done.

Yan Jiefang's persistence in pestering her gave Yang Xue a headache and also made her feel a little disgusted.

But Yan Jiefang was unaware of this and even thought he was doing a very good job.

Before he came here, he sought advice from an expert, who advised him to be bold, careful, and thick-skinned, and to be persistent when pursuing girls.

So, even though Yan Jiefang saw that Yang Xue was a little impatient, he still had no intention of leaving.

"Yang Xue, just think about it again. You should be able to see that I am sincere to you."

Yang Xue was almost feeling sick to death. She had met some low-class men before and there were many boys chasing after her, but this was the first time she had met someone like Yan Jiefang.

I have clearly told him that I don't want to date, but he still keeps pestering me.

Do I have to force myself to say that I look down on him?

Originally, Yang Xue didn't dislike Yan Jiefang, but now she really dislikes this inferior man.

"Yang Xue, please say something. How can you know about love if you don't try it? You should find a significant other at your age."

Seeing that Yang Xue didn't say anything, Yan Jiefang thought she was thinking seriously, so he pressed on.

at this time.

A greeting suddenly came from the workshop.

"Director Li, you are here."

"Yeah, I'm busy."

Li Jiandong said to the person who greeted him with a smile.

When Yang Xue heard the voice, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief as if she was saved. Li Jiandong attached great importance to their research and development work. As long as she asked Li Jiandong for help, he would definitely help her block Yan Jiefang, the subordinate, for the smooth progress of the research.

So Yang Xue quickly stood up and went to greet him.

"Master, why are you here?"

Li Jiandong suppressed his displeasure towards Yan Jiefang and said to her with a smile, "I came to see your research and development progress. Do you have any clues?"

The research and development of CNC equipment cannot be completed in a day or two.

Especially now, our CNC equipment is still in the stage of creating something from scratch. Although there have been successful CNC equipment before, many components at that time were obtained from Big Brother.

Now everything has to be developed independently, which is as difficult as starting from scratch.

"Well, a little bit, but not much, mainly..."

Yang Xue glanced at Yan Jiefang next to her and acted as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

After all, he is from the same courtyard as Li Jiandong, and is the younger brother of the second senior brother Yan Jiecheng.

Although Yang Xue doesn't care much about the ways of the world, she doesn't want to be the bad guy who stirs up trouble between people in the compound and among brothers.

But her embarrassment caused Yan Jiefang to misunderstand.

Yan Jiefang thought Yang Xue was looking at him to ask for help, so he stepped forward and said with a smile:
"Uncle, Yang Xue is actually very hardworking, but this CNC machine tool is not a simple thing. What do you expect them to develop in just one week? Don't you think so, uncle?"

Li Jiandong nodded:

“You are right. The development of CNC machine tools is not something that can be done overnight and requires a lot of concentration.”

"Jiefang, why are you here at this time? Don't you know it's working hours now? Yang Xue's research and development is already difficult, and you're here to disturb her work?"

Yan Jiefang often saw that Li Jiandong was too kind, and even though things had been said to this point, he was not aware of it at all.

Still laughing:

"Uncle, I know Yang Xue is working hard, so I came to talk to her and relax. You know, I am in a hurry to get married, and Yang Xue is not young anymore. So, uncle, can you help me persuade Yang Xue that getting married early will not affect her work. On the contrary, it will relieve her of a big worry and allow her to devote herself more effectively to the research and development of CNC machine tools. Don't you think so, uncle?"

Yan Jiefang's words made Yang Xue's classmates around him unable to listen any more.

Yang Xue didn't dislike him because she had never considered dating, so there was no question of whether she disliked him or not.

But some of these classmates are already married.

At this moment, hearing Yan Jiefang's shameless words, everyone almost cursed, "How dare you pursue Yang Xue with your junior high school education?" Even if Yang Xue was not an assistant engineer, at least she was pretty and had a good family background.

What do you have to pursue someone?

Just because your brother is the captain of the factory's transport team?

Yang Xue’s father was the former factory director.

Although others didn't know that Yang Xue's father was Factory Director Yang, her classmates all knew it. It was just that she didn't know it when she was in school. After Yang Xue graduated, she wanted her father to help them apply for research funding for their major.

But it was rejected by Director Yang.

Director Yang's vision was indeed not as far-sighted as Li Jiandong's. Like the leaders above him, he felt that research on CNC machine tools was too troublesome and it would be better to train a few more level eight workers. It was only when Li Jiandong came to him later that Director Yang agreed to his and Bi Da's application out of trust in Li Jiandong.

As for Yang Xue, her words do not carry that much weight in front of Director Yang.

Although Director Yang loves his daughter, he will not use national interests to help his daughter do research.

It was from that time that Yang Xue’s classmates and teachers knew that she was the daughter of Director Yang.

However, from then on, they all knew that Yang Xue didn't like others mentioning her father. After coming to the steel mill, her classmates also consciously did not talk about this matter.

But even if Yang Xue didn't have her father, she would still be very outstanding based on her own conditions.

This young assistant electronic engineer should be able to get a full-time job or even be promoted soon after this research.

Yan Jiefang was just a temporary excavator worker without a formal job. Even if he was converted to a regular worker, he would still be just an ordinary worker, at most a technical worker. How could he be compared with an engineer?
"Director Li, don't listen to his nonsense. Yang Xue doesn't want to date anyone at all. It's this guy who has been pestering her."

One of Yang Xue's male classmates couldn't help but speak out.

I immediately gained support from several other classmates.

"Yes, Yang Xue is the same as us. She is only interested in making the CNC machine tool as soon as possible. She has no time to date."

"I have a say in this matter. Dating is not something that can be done by just seeing each other every day. What's more, he wants to get married. How much time will it take to get married? How can Yang Xue have so much time to waste?"

"And the most important thing is that Yang Xue has already clearly rejected him, but she is still pestering him. Director Li, if you don't come again, I can't help but beat him up."

Several classmates have been arguing with each other and have been enduring Yan Jiefang for a long time.

Yan Jiefang was not convinced when he heard this.

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did Yang Xue reject me? She just couldn't figure it out and thought that dating would delay the development of machine tools. I don't understand how it would delay it? Don't you researchers get married?"

"Besides, what does it matter if it's delayed? Marriage is a top priority. Can a crappy research be more important than marriage?"

As soon as Yan Jiefang said this, the entire R&D team was furious.

Yang Xue was also very angry. Her research was so important, but it was described as a crappy research?

"Yan Jiefang, listen carefully. I just look down on you. You have no ability and yet you look down on others. You don't understand how important our research is. People like you can only think about getting married all day long."

After Yang Xue finished cursing, she felt relieved.

If it weren't for Yan Jiecheng, she would have scolded him like this a long time ago. As for now, she was also forced into a corner and couldn't care less. At most, she would ask Yan Jiecheng to apologize later. She believed that her senior brother should be more reasonable than his brother.

"you……"

Yan Jiefang's face turned red with anger. If he didn't want to talk about the object of his affection, then he shouldn't talk about it. Why should he belittle himself like this?

What's wrong with not understanding research? I am a glorious worker, so can an engineer look down on others?

"All right."

Li Jiandong finally spoke and said to Yan Jiefang: "Jiefang, you should go back first and don't come here again. This is not a place for romance.

From now on, don't look for Yang Xue anymore. If you want to get married, find someone who wants to get married just like you, okay?"

"Uncle, you are also a worker. You don't think engineers are superior to others, do you?"

Yan Jiefang was so angry that he felt he had to redeem himself for the shame he had suffered.

This was also due to the impression Li Jiandong left on him. Li Jiandong seldom lost his temper, so to some people, he was easy to talk to and they could argue with him no matter whether they were right or wrong.

But what he didn't know was that Li Jiandong's good temper was for those who respected him.

Now, he has made it clear to Yan Jiefang, and Yang Xue has also clearly rejected him. Li Jiandong even gave him a way out, as long as he doesn't look for Yang Xue again after he leaves.

But Yan Jiefang kept pestering him, which made Li Jiandong very unhappy.

"Yan Jiefang, listen carefully. This is not about engineers being superior to others. It's about you disturbing others by talking about love during work hours.

Now, you must go to the R&D workshop and ask the finance department for this month's salary. You are no longer a temporary worker at the steel mill, so get out now."

Li Jiandong's way of handling the matter not only stunned Yan Jiefang, but also shocked Yang Xue.

Yan Jiefang is the younger brother of the second senior brother, and he and Li Jiandong are from the same compound. It can be said that Li Jiandong watched him grow up.

Just say you can fire him?

"Master, it's not that serious, free him..."

"Don't talk."

Li Jiandong interrupted Yang Xue. Some people had low emotional intelligence and spoke too obscurely. They simply couldn't understand. Instead of hiding the truth and letting him have wild thoughts, it would be better to just let them get out and go back to reflect on themselves.

"Are you going to leave or not? If not, I'll have the security department throw you out right now. If you get embarrassed, don't blame me for not giving you a chance."

Li Jiandong shouted at Yan Jiefang

"Uncle, are you going to fire me?"

Yan Jiefang couldn't believe it either. This was the eldest uncle in his courtyard. He was usually very kind and amiable and had never had a quarrel with the younger generations like them. Why was he suddenly so harsh to him today?

At this time, Yan Jiefang finally realized that he had made a big mistake, although he didn't know how he did it.

Now, although he has not been converted to a regular employee, he is still a skilled worker after all.

For an excavator operator, firstly, the work is not as tiring as working in a workshop, and secondly, the salary is not low.

Although he was not a formal employee, it was still quite prestigious to tell others about it. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many matchmakers introducing him to potential partners, making him so arrogant that he thought he could pursue Yang Xue.

Now Li Jiandong wanted to fire him directly, and Yan Jiefang was immediately scared.

"Uncle, I know I was wrong. Can't I just not bother Yang Xue during work hours? I'm leaving. I'm leaving right now. Please don't fire me."

Yan Jiefang began to beg for mercy, but it was too late.

Li Jiandong doesn't get angry easily, but once he says something, he won't take it back just because the other party simply admits his mistake.

What's more, Yan Jiefang didn't realize his mistake at all, he was just scared. If you let this kind of person go today, he will make the same mistake even more next time.

Rather than being disgusted by him again, it would be better to stop him from thinking about it this time.

So, Li Jiandong said in a cold voice:

"Yan Jiefang, this is a steel mill, not a courtyard house. I am the factory director here, but I am not your uncle.

You have violated the steel mill rules and must be fired to serve as a warning to others. Leave now. I will count to three and if you don’t leave, I will call for help.”

"One"

"two"

Li Jiandong was so "unkind" that Yan Jiefang suddenly despaired.

However, he really didn't realize it was his own fault, and cried:

"I see. You dislike me just like them. You think engineers are superior to workers. Okay, I'll leave. You don't need to call anyone."

Yan Jiefang left angrily, as if others looking down on him by rejecting him.

Li Jiandong looked at his back and felt a little angry.

Old guy Yan Bugui is always calculating all the time, but he never thinks about his child's education. If he raises a child like Yan Jiefang, will he have a good life in the future?
"Master."

When Yang Xue saw Yan Jiefang being driven away, she felt that she had gone too far.

Her classmates beside her didn't dare to say much. It was the first time for them to see Li Jiandong taking on such a big task, and the other party was from the same college as them.

It is not easy to live in the same courtyard these days. It is not just a saying that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. In many cases, people in a courtyard are like a family, and the elders are very caring towards other people's children.

Li Jiandong promoted so many people in the hospital, which shows that he also cares about the relationship between neighbors.

But now, because they had just fanned the flames and caused Li Jiandong to get Yan Jiefang driven away, everyone seemed to have made a mistake and for a moment they didn't know how to apologize.

Li Jiandong noticed that the atmosphere was not right and knew that these young people were blaming themselves.

He sighed and said:

"It's none of your business. It's because Yan Jiefang lacks education. Today's matter is not over yet. I will find his father and give him a lecture later.

Don't take it too seriously, your research is the real important thing. If something similar happens again, just come to me. Anyone who dares to interfere with our CNC research will be fired, I don't care if he is a temporary worker or a regular employee. "

It's not easy to fire a regular employee these days, but if you really want to fire him, it's not impossible.

However, I believe that after Yan Jiefang was fired this time, others will also realize the importance of the steel rolling mill to CNC research and development, and no one will come to disturb it anymore.

After hearing what Li Jiandong said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

They could see that Li Jiandong really attached great importance to CNC research and development, which also inspired them to work more actively.

After get off work.

Li Jiandong was about to go to the courtyard to talk to Yan Bugui about this stingy old man Yan, who spent all his energy on calculations all day long and did not even educate his own son. This was not smart at all but stupid.

As a result, as soon as he walked out of the office building, he saw He Daqing and Liu Haizhong walking towards him.

"Old Li, it's really not easy. On average, I don't see you leaving get off work on time once a month."

He Daqing walked over and said with a laugh.

Ever since Li Jiandong was promoted to factory director, many people working in the steel rolling mill in the institute now call Li Jiandong "Director Li", but He Daqing is the only one who still calls him "Old Li".

Of course, this is only in informal occasions. If there are many people around or in formal occasions, He Daqing will still call him factory director.

"Daqing, Lao Liu, you are not here to treat me to a meal, are you?"

Li Jiandong said with a smile.

Both of these old guys got promoted today. Logically, they came to see me to treat me to a meal.

That's exactly what happened.

He Daqing laughed and said:
"It seems that Lao Li also knows that we are here to treat him to a meal, so what else is there to say? Let's go together?"

Liu Haizhong said:
"That won't work. We still have to go buy some groceries. How about Director Li, you go sit in the yard for a while. Daqing and I will go buy some groceries and then be back."

"Okay, then I'll go to the yard and wait for you."

Li Jiandong also happened to be going to see Yan Bugui, so they just ate in the yard.

After getting in the car, Li Jiandong went to the street office on his way back. Just then, Sha Zhu was also getting off work and preparing to go home. Li Jiandong stopped him and said, "Zhu Zi, I'm going to eat in the yard tonight. Tell your mistress that she doesn't need to leave any food for me."

Sha Zhu now gets off work on time almost every day in order to go home and cook for Chen Xueru.
