Chapter 19 Deploy troops and generals
Jia Dongxu was quite tactful: "I know, you are doing this for Master's sake. You don't know that I am a stupid person and have been stuck at the third-level fitter position for several years. I finally have this opportunity to find a solution. I am so grateful to you."

The two chatted for a while, one thanking the other being polite. When the atmosphere was about right, Jia Dongxu took the wine out of his bag and put it on the table: "Senior Technician, I know you don't need anything and you don't want anything from me, but I still want to show my appreciation. These two bottles of wine are the only interesting ones in my house. Try them when you have time."

The wine was stored by Yi Zhonghai for many years, and it was good wine, otherwise Yi Zhonghai would not have asked Jia Dongxu to give it as a gift. But Gao Zhendong was unwilling to accept the gift, after all, when he came to the Siheyuan, he thought he was here to do things, not to make a living, and he didn't need these things.

However, there are some rules for rejecting gifts. If you reject gifts improperly, not only will others not be grateful, but for some people, you may even turn them into enemies. If you reject a sincere person like Jia Dongxu directly, he may think more and feel more uneasy.

After thinking for a while, Gao Zhendong smiled and said to Jia Dongxu, "It's a good thing, but you don't have to keep it here. Let me get another chicken, and you can take it to Sha Zhu later. Tell him what I said and ask him to cook it tomorrow afternoon. The three of us can enjoy it at dinner tomorrow."

I can't do anything to Jia Dongxu now. Does this count as accepting or not accepting? But I understand the general meaning. I won't be estranged from you. Let's eat and drink together.

With his mind in a daze, Jia Dongxu went to Sha Zhu's house carrying wine and chicken.

When Sha Zhu saw Jia Dongxu coming over with wine and chicken, he started to tease him, "Hey, Lao Jia, are you treating me to a meal? If you treat me to a meal, you should at least cook it and bring it over. How can you ask a guest to cook for you?"

Unexpectedly, Jia Dongxu nodded: "I'm inviting you to eat, and you have to cook it."

Sha Zhu was amused: "Oh? What's going on?"

Jia Dongxu talked about how he wanted to thank Gao Zhendong for sending him wine, but instead of sending the wine, he spared a chicken and sent it to Sha Zhu. However, he did not say specifically what he was thanking Gao Zhendong for.

Although Shazhu’s nickname is Shazhu, he is actually not stupid at all. You can tell from watching his TV dramas.

Although he hasn't evolved to have as many clever ideas as he will in the future, his brain is still able to work. The nickname "Shazhu" refers more to his stubborn temper.

After hearing what Jia Dongxu said, he immediately understood: "Then you can leave the things with me, and we will have dinner at my house tomorrow."

At this point, he couldn't help but feel proud: "Hey, when you are at home, the food and wine will come to you. Otherwise, why would you never need a cook even if you are hungry?"

Jia Dongxu was a little worried and asked Sha Zhu: "Sha Zhu, what do you think the senior technician means? I'm a little confused and feel uneasy."

Sha Zhu took on the responsibility, "Hey, don't worry, Zhendong is a man of integrity, he sticks to his guns, don't worry. As for the wine and chicken, I guess he means by his kindness, but if he doesn't accept them, I'm afraid you'll get suspicious, and if he accepts them, he's helping you not for your money. Why not just get another chicken for yourself and let's eat together, this way everyone can be explained and it's all right. Zhendong is a cultured man, he does things in a thorough manner, you can just come and eat tomorrow without worry."

After hearing this, Jia Dongxu felt a little relieved and went back to report to Yi Zhonghai.

After hearing what Jia Dongxu said, Yi Zhonghai was full of praise: "Zhendong is indeed a thoughtful person. It is true what Shazhu said about him being good at both literature and martial arts. You should make friends with him. He is a good person to be friends with."

Jia Dongxu nodded his head repeatedly: "Okay, Master. Good at both civil and military affairs?" Yi Zhonghai nodded: "Yes, I heard from the old lady in the backyard that he had been to the battlefield before, and had killed many American devils on his hands. That day, Sha Zhu and Xu Damao were arguing about Sha Zhu's blind date, and I saw him hold down the angry Sha Zhu with one hand."

Jia Dongxu was well aware of the Siheyuan War God's fighting power. He shrank his neck upon hearing that and said, "Wow, awesome!"

The next day was Tuesday. Without waiting for the formalities to be completed, Yi Zhonghai brought Jia Dongxu directly to the technical department.

Two groups were set up yesterday. Xiaoyu from the return air furnace department has already taken the design drawings to the repair shop to make a prototype.

Deputy Section Chief Zhao coordinated the procedures at the maintenance plant for him and basically did not interfere with other matters. It was not because Deputy Section Chief Zhao was lazy, but the design of this thing was already complete and there was nothing to interfere with. All he had to do was wait for the results.

The team members had already received their respective materials yesterday afternoon, and Gao Zhendong spent half a day with them studying and digesting them.

As of today, the work of the two groups has officially started, with a work meeting held in the morning.

The other deputy team leader is the deputy section chief of the technical department, Deputy Section Chief Wu. He is in his 50s and a shrewd man. He knows that he got the position of deputy team leader by freeloading.

Chief Engineer Chen's idea was very clear. It was to cover up for Gao Zhendong and prevent Gao Zhendong's deputy team leader from being so conspicuous. At the same time, he also considered that the cake was big enough to be divided well among everyone, so he was assigned the deputy team leader.

What's the point of fighting in this situation? If they fight, they can still snatch the position of team leader of General Manager Chen? Just lie down and share the cake. Deputy Section Chief Wu knows this very well.

At the beginning of the meeting, Gao Zhendong asked Deputy Section Chief Wu to speak first. Deputy Section Chief Wu waved his hand and said, "I am just here to help you coordinate matters outside our department. You know the specific work better than I do. Just take the lead in making the arrangements. I will listen to you."

Gao Zhendong was not polite when he heard this: "Chief Wu is too modest. I will arrange things first."

"Engineer Liang, you have already read the materials and should be very clear about the main parameters and characteristics of the thermocouple. You will be responsible for designing the test, including the verification test and the comparative test. The design of the specific test methods, processes, steps, test tables, data processing, error analysis, etc., all of which will be handled by you, an experienced person."

Originally, Gao Zhendong was going to do this himself, but with the veteran Lao Liang around, he naturally handed the task over to him.

Liang Faming nodded in agreement. With decades of experience, he was adept at this kind of thing.

"Sister Fang, you are responsible for learning how to use the new Globar heating furnace in the core. After you master it, take all the high-temperature materials in the factory and test which ones can guarantee long-term operation at a temperature of 1300℃ without degrading mechanical properties."

Fang Yinghong happily accepted the task. It didn't matter what she burned, and what's more, she was willing to learn how to use new equipment.
