Chapter 15 Everyone is seizing the opportunity

Gao Zhendong returned to his office, said hello to his colleagues, and sat down at his seat to continue reading materials.

There are 12 people in his office, all of them are technicians. Sitting at the desk opposite him is a woman in her thirties, Fang Yinghong, a level 11 technician. You can tell from her name that her name was changed after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Although they are not young anymore, due to the conditions after the founding of the People's Republic of China, many people in the technical department are not young and have low professional titles.

Sister Fang has a generous personality, and everyone has gotten to know Gao Zhendong pretty well since he came into the factory a week ago.

Compared with several college students who were assigned here together, Gao Zhendong integrated into the environment much faster than those others because he had done practical grassroots work in the army before and had certain experience in dealing with people.

Those people were not aloof, but they wanted to fit in, but had not yet grasped the rhythm and atmosphere of factory work, so they were still a bit passive.

Sister Fang seemed to have finished part of her work and wanted to take a break. She knocked on the table and asked quietly, "Zhendong, you have been mumbling to Lao Chen for so long. What good news did you get?"

Gao Zhendong couldn't say anything for the time being, so he could only smile and joke: "Chief Engineer Chen said he would introduce me to someone, haha."

Sister Fang obviously didn't believe it: "Who are you kidding? Chief Engineer Chen doesn't have a daughter himself, so forget it."

Gao Zhendong laughed: "Mr. Chen is not allowed to have two relatives?"

Xiao Liu at the desk behind him got excited when he heard this and turned around: "What are the conditions? Tell me about it."

Xiao Liu is about the same age as Gao Zhendong, so he is very interested in this kind of thing. He entered the factory two years earlier because he took the route of high school entrance examination and junior college entrance examination. However, he is still a 13th-level technician, several levels lower than Gao Zhendong.

Gao Zhendong laughed: "You don't have the smart brain of Sister Fang."

Xiao Liu was not annoyed: "Hey, Lao Gao, it turns out you are a liar, boring."

Gao Zhendong thought about it, looked around to see if anyone was paying attention, and whispered to the two men, "If you trust me, when Mr. Chen comes to assign work later, be proactive."

Last week, the two of them also noticed that Lao Chen valued Gao Zhendong very much. When they heard this, their eyes lit up. Seeing that Gao Zhendong didn't say too much, they looked at each other and nodded.

Gao Zhendong also considered revealing the news to these two people. Although they have different personalities, they are both good people. They are solid in their work and have little innovation ability. However, they are good at following orders and fighting. At the same time, their titles are lower than Gao Zhendong's, so there is no chance of confrontation.

At this time, someone in the corner of the office was dissatisfied: "What's wrong with you three? Are you working or buying vegetables? This is an office, not a vegetable market. Don't disturb others."

Gao Zhendong turned his head and saw that it was Lao Yuan, a level 10 technician. He was the type who had little ability but a lot of airs. He was almost 40 years old and had worked in the steel mill before the founding of the People's Republic of China. He had worked his way up to level 10 technician by accumulating experience. Basically, his future was over. He would not be able to get promoted to engineer unless there was a miracle.

Normally, there are many senior technicians in this situation, but this one is notorious for being arrogant and nosy, and he always puts on an air of seniority to teach people a lesson. Gao Zhendong has seen this many times, but because he had just entered the factory and was busy with work, he never taught him a lesson, so there was no conflict.

This time Gao Zhendong didn't want to tolerate it. He turned around and said, "Old Yuan, we are discussing work here. If you really feel it's noisy, then..."

At this point, Gao Zhendong paused deliberately: "That can't be helped. Our matter is very serious. You have to be patient."

Xiao Liu didn't dare to confront this person openly, but Sister Fang was not afraid and just laughed. When Lao Yuan was about to say something, Chief Engineer Chen had already walked into the office with two deputy heads of the technical department, and Lao Yuan immediately shut up.

Chief Engineer Chen walked to Gao Zhendong's desk, cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, put your work aside for a while. I have something to tell you."

Seeing that everyone looked up at him, Chief Engineer Chen raised the document in his hand and said, "After research by the department, it has been decided that we will launch two new scientific research projects. We need several people. Considering that the project initiator is in this office, let's digest it within this office first."

Then I gave a brief introduction to the two scientific research projects, and after the introduction, I started to arrange the work.

"The specific work of these two projects has been arranged in this way after Corey's research."

"Deputy Section Chief Zhao is the leader of the return air furnace research team, and Gao Zhendong is the deputy leader and is responsible for the main design work. However, Gao Zhendong has basically completed the specific design. For the next work, Section Chief Zhao, please find a technician to cooperate with you and complete the trial production and testing work according to Zhendong's design data."

The three section chiefs had obviously communicated with each other. Deputy Section Chief Zhao was obviously very pleased with this unexpected benefit. He smiled and said, "Well, I will make sure to complete the task. That. Old Yuan..."

As soon as he said this, he seemed to remember something and changed his words: "Forget it, Lao Yuan, the work on your hands is too important. Xiao Yu, come and do this with me."

Old Yuan's eyes lit up at first, then dimmed. Xiao Yu was a level 12 technician, and was very jealous of this benefit that seemed to be within his reach, so he happily agreed.

Chief Engineer Chen saw that this matter was settled, and began to arrange work for another project: "I will be the leader of the thermocouple research team, Gao Zhendong will be the deputy leader and responsible for overall management, and Section Chief Wu will also be the deputy leader to coordinate matters outside the department. We also need three technicians. Is there anyone who would like to volunteer?"

Thermocouples are a new concept for quite a number of technicians, and Chief Engineer Chen’s introduction just now was relatively simple, so most of them still don’t quite understand it.

Now when everyone heard that Gao Zhendong was in charge of the overall situation, they were a little hesitant. The reasons for their hesitation might be worry, jealousy, unwillingness to accept, or fear of wasting time. In short, they did not react at the first time.

Taking advantage of this gap, Sister Fang and Xiao Liu immediately jumped out and said at the same time: "Boss Chen, I'll do it!"

When Chief Engineer Chen saw someone volunteering, he immediately made the decision: "Okay, it's you two, there's one left."

Before he finished speaking, a voice came from the office door: "Mr. Chen, let me do it!"

Everyone looked and saw that it was Liang Faming, a level 9 engineer in the department.

This guy's name is Fachang, but he is not very good at invention. Fortunately, most of the work in the technical department has nothing to do with invention. With hard work, he has become a level 40 engineer in his 9s.

This man is an enhanced version of Lao Yuan in terms of experience. Of course, his personality is completely different. Engineer Liang is a typical hardworking and kind person. However, like Lao Yuan, unless there is a miracle, his business will basically come to an end before retirement.

The problem is that although he has a salary of 102 yuan as a level 9 engineer, his wife is a rural hukou, commonly known as someone without a food allowance, and has a chronic disease. The couple lived in the same village before liberation and went through hardships together, and Lao Liang never thought of abandoning his wife. With the addition of the elderly and children of both families, Lao Liang's family has a large population and a heavy burden, so he always wants to move forward.

Now, he who had just walked past the door and heard the two projects seemed to have discovered this miracle.
