Chapter 333 Rising Again

Professor Luo suddenly had an idea and said, "Comrade, I read an article by the Citigroup guys and found that the shotguns they often use are quite effective in trenches. How about I get one for you? But it may have fewer bullets."

If nothing else, at least scoring goals in street fights is a good thing.

The user was delighted: "It's okay if it's less, we'll get it all, we'll get it all."

That expression is more comfortable than eating watermelon in the dog days of summer.

Gao Zhendong pushed the cart into the yard, and the children coming and going greeted him when they saw him: "Thank you, Uncle Gao."

It’s Children’s Day, no need to thank me. I won’t celebrate it next time. I’ll give you some papers.

Gao Zhendong greeted the children happily while walking into his house.

The neighbors who were watching this scene were all laughing and talking about it.

"Director Gao really likes children."

"He has been like that since he first came here. He has never changed."

"He spent a lot of money today. Not only the money, but also the tickets. Those candies and comic books are not that easy to get."

"What else do I need? A level 6 engineer, that's great to think about."

"Hey, son, don't run away. Let me have a piece of candy."

"."

When Gao Zhendong came in, Lou Xiaoe came to greet him happily. She was so happy on this Children's Day.

She was having a lot of fun playing the game, and every child coming and going at the door would call out "Hello Auntie Lou, thank you Auntie Lou", so she had secured her position as the leader of the children.

If she hadn't known how important Gao Zhendong's computer was, she would have almost asked the children to come in and play games.

Gao Zhendong touched her hair and said lovingly, "Did you have fun today?"

Lou Xiao'e nodded vigorously, her hair flying in the air with her movements, and the expression on her face looked like that of a small animal.

"Hey, Zhendong, why do I feel like you are treating me like a child?" Leaning on Gao Zhendong, Lou Xiao'e seemed to have just reacted.

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "Isn't this good?"

At around 20 years old, it’s not an exaggeration to say that he is still a child.

Lou Xiao'e curled her lips: "No, I'm already grown up."

You want what you lack. If you stubbornly think you have grown up, then you are just a child who has not grown up. Gao Zhendong held her tightly in his arms: "Okay, okay, I won't celebrate Children's Day with you in a few years, haha."

Lou Xiao'e nodded in satisfaction: "That's more like it, huh? That's not right, why do I feel like you're still treating me like a child?"

Gao Zhendong scratched her hair and said, "No, no, eat, eat. I'm hungry."

"Oh well."

Lou Xiao'e immediately forgot what had just happened and ran to get some rice for Gao Zhendong.

On Thursday morning, as soon as Gao Zhendong got to work, he received a call from the factory office to attend a meeting.

Gao Zhendong rushed over. All the participants had arrived, all of them were factory leaders and middle-level cadres at the department level. There were only him and the director of the confidential workshop, the latter being a director. Although the confidential workshop looked like just a workshop, due to its importance, the director was a highly-qualified director.

Seeing him coming, the leaders of the factory all looked at him with a smile, as if saying "good things are going to happen to you, kid". It seems that they had already discussed the content of today's meeting before and knew something.

To his surprise, there was no agenda for discussion at this meeting, only notices.

Director Yang held a document and said to all the participants: "Everyone is busy with work, so I won't waste time. Today's meeting is to integrate some of our factory's technology and production forces in accordance with the latest situation needs of our factory and the deployment of the department, in order to better complete the tasks assigned by superiors and the masses. Now, after discussion and decision by the factory leadership and submission of the adjustment plan to the department, the department has approved it and fully agrees."

Gao Zhendong was a little confused. There hadn't been any major events or changes recently, and there hadn't been any signs of change. Why did they suddenly adjust? And this kind of adjustment usually had nothing to do with him, so why did they pull him in?

His question was answered immediately. Director Yang opened the file and began to convey its contents: "Under 's leadership, our factory has worked hard, studied diligently, and focused on technology. It has now achieved the production of . types of special products in total, making a significant contribution to ." Oh, it turned out to be about special products. These products were basically made by himself, and most of them were produced in confidential workshops. It would be a natural thing to call himself and the director of the confidential workshop over together.

"It has been decided that the Third Factory of Beijing Third Steel Rolling Mill will be established with the Technical Department Research Office as the backbone, integrating the confidential workshops and some other departments and personnel of our factory. The administrative level of the Third Factory is set at the level of a director, and it is mainly responsible for the research and production of special and confidential products. The director of the Third Factory will be Comrade Yan Chengde, the former director of the confidential workshop, and Comrade Gao Zhendong, the former director of the Technical Department Research Office, will be the chief engineer."

When Gao Zhendong heard this, he felt that it made sense. The former director of the confidential workshop was now the factory director in charge of production, while he, the deputy director, was in charge of technology. The levels were just right and the division of labor was clear. In this case, the forces he could directly mobilize were stronger, which was more conducive to product research.

Before this, if the laboratory wanted to call on people on the production line for cooperation, it still had to go through the process and could not call them directly. But now, the laboratory can at least directly call on all the resources of the third factory, which greatly simplifies the process and improves efficiency.

It seems that the department and the factory's considerations for work are really comprehensive and far-reaching.

However, Gao Zhendong obviously underestimated the importance the department and the factory attached to this matter, or rather, the importance they attached to him personally. The following content shocked him even more.

"Comrade Gao Zhendong's administrative rank has been promoted to director, administrative level 14."

Huh? I got promoted for no apparent reason? The salary of administrative level 14 is 138 yuan, which is still not up to par with my professional salary. Level 6 engineer is 154 yuan, but among the division level, it is almost the top. Level 13 is the highest administrative level, and above that is another level.

The leaders have considered everything very carefully. They did not just mention the threshold for being a director - level 15, nor did they directly mention the ceiling for being a director - level 13. The former is too stingy, and the latter is too eye-catching.

But that was nothing. The following content made him understand what it meant to take the initiative.

"The work of the Third Factory is presided over by Comrade Gao Zhendong, who is in charge of the technical and research work of the Third Factory. The daily work of the Third Factory is presided over by Comrade Yan Chengde, who is in charge of all production and daily management work of the Third Factory."

This is magical. Although many things are more flexible at this time, this kind of arrangement is rare.

To put it simply, Gao Zhendong has the final say in the Third Factory, but because they are afraid that he has too much to do, the daily work is handed over to the general manager, Director Yan, and Gao Zhendong can just focus on research and technology.

Gao Zhendong was a little dumbfounded. Master finally got too lazy to help me with the daily work of the laboratory. Was he going to abandon me? Looking at Lao Chen's smiling face, Gao Zhendong even had a bit of absurd thoughts.

Also, Director Yan of the confidential workshop, no, now he is Factory Director Yan, does he have no objection to this?
However, Yan Chengde himself was calm and smiling, without any expression of surprise. It seemed that he had already discussed this with him before.

It is indeed a communication, and the content of the communication is very simple. If you are willing to cooperate, you can continue to do it. If you are not willing, it doesn’t matter. You can be transferred to other equally important departments, replaced by someone else or directly promote someone who is willing to come up.

Director Yan immediately patted his chest and said, "I will do it. Others can't do it. They have no experience in managing confidential production work, which will affect the progress of the work. Most importantly, they have no experience in cooperating with Director Gao in research, production, and technical transformation. The running-in period is too long and it is not suitable."

He is not stupid. Before Gao Zhendong came to prominence, his confidential workshop had nothing to produce. There was even a time when this workshop was just a shell department. Except for him as the director, all other positions were nominal or part-time.

Later, starting with the first special product 591, this confidential workshop was completely revitalized, and he, a department-level cadre, was able to work with great interest.

He has a clear understanding of the original intention and significance of establishing this third branch factory. If we want to achieve results and highlights, the entire factory originally had only the research laboratory and the current confidential workshop. Now that the two departments have been merged, it will be even stronger.

If you work hard as the factory director in the third factory for a period of time, everything will be easy afterwards.

But Gao Zhendong didn't know about this. He was a little worried about Director Yan's mentality. He looked up at Director Yan, who smiled and nodded at him, as if to say, "Don't worry, Lao Gao, I will cooperate with the work."

Needless to say, from now on, Director Yan will no longer call him "Director Gao" as before, but "Old Gao", even though the age gap between them is more than a generation.

Well, it seems that the department and the factory have made arrangements, so what is there to be afraid of? This is a great thing. In this way, the power in my hands will be even stronger. Thinking about an entire branch factory contributing to my research, Gao Zhendong couldn't help but feel happy.

However, the subsequent arrangements made him feel what it meant to be valued by his superiors.

"At the same time, among the factory leaders, I, Chief Engineer Chen, and Deputy Factory Director Li formed a coordination team to coordinate and organize the dispatch and coordination between other resources of the main factory and the third factory."

This is the full support for the third branch factory from the perspective of the main factory, and it is written, institutionalized, and supported by a responsible person.

Look at these three people again. One is in charge of the overall situation of the head office, one is in charge of technology, and one is in charge of finance and logistics. Moreover, the relationship between me and all three of them is quite close.

It seems that we need to continue to make good things, otherwise it will be a shame for the department and the factory to have such a series of moves.

After Director Yang announced this matter, he adjourned the meeting. Everyone congratulated Gao Zhendong. It would have been too fake not to congratulate such a young 14th-level director.
