Chapter 334 Neighbors
Gao Zhendong thanked them one by one. When leaving, Director Yan smiled and said to Gao Zhendong, "Boss Gao, I will go back and prepare immediately and come to report to you as soon as possible. We will set up the stall of the third factory as soon as possible."

In a crowded occasion, it is better to call "Mr. Gao" first, with a positive attitude, and ask him to come over to "report on your work."

Gao Zhendong humbly agreed that as he was an old comrade, he should be shown due respect.

Old Chen also came over, looked up and patted Gao Zhendong on the shoulder: "You did a good job, kid! Haha!"

"Thank you, Master, hehe." These are family members, so there is no need to be too pretentious.

Deputy Factory Director Li also came over and said, "Zhendong, congratulations. I'll meet you later."

Gao Zhendong agreed with a smile. This guy would not do anything without benefits, but what he usually brought out could basically guarantee a win-win situation. He was also a talented person.

Not long after the meeting, a notice was posted on the notice board at the factory gate. It was not a public announcement, but there is a considerable difference between the two.

The notice was very simple and far less detailed than what Director Yang said at the meeting.

"Due to work needs and with the approval of our superiors, our factory has established a third branch, with Comrade Yan Chengde as the director and Comrade Gao Zhendong as the chief engineer."

That’s all, just these few words.

This did not cause much stir among the comrades in the factory. It was just a normal work organization.

Director Yan is a director, so it would be perfect for him to be the director of the branch factory. Director Gao is also a deputy director, with top-notch technical skills, so it would be quite suitable for him to be the chief engineer of the branch factory.

Everything seemed normal and very logical.

Of course, there are also people related to Gao Zhendong who are smart and ready to make moves, but that is another matter.

After all, the director of a laboratory and the chief engineer of a branch factory may have the same level, but the scope of their influence and the things they can do are incomparable.

Gao Zhendong finished his work for the day and rode his bike home amidst the greetings of "Hello, Mr. Gao".

As soon as I got home, Lou Xiao'e came up to me happily: "Zhendong, I heard from Sister Qin that you got promoted again?"

Although Qin Huairu is already pregnant, she still has to go to class. It is not time for her to take a vacation yet, but her work life is much easier. If she has to say, the most arduous task for her now is the TVU courses every week. At other times, her colleagues take good care of her, but she cannot learn the TVU courses.

She returned to the yard early that day. When she passed by Gao Zhendong's house, she happened to see Lou Xiao'e hanging clothes at the door, so she told her about Gao Zhendong's job as chief engineer.

Although the notice at the factory gate was extremely simple, Qin Huairu did not know that Gao Zhendong's administrative level had also been promoted. However, in her simple opinion, from director to chief engineer, this was a definite promotion, which was also a blessing in disguise.

This made Lou Xiao'e, who was already in a cheerful mood, very happy. She had just been promoted to a level 6 engineer not long ago, and now she was promoted again.

From her perspective, she didn't consider the money issue, since she wasn't as rich as my family anyway. The main thing that made her feel proud was the "self-selection" aspect. Since she got married, her mother basically stopped nagging her, mainly focusing on the issue of choosing a partner for her daughter. Compared to her own daughter's lavish spending, Lou's mother's was really too embarrassing.

Gao Zhendong took the teacup, sat down to drink tea, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, level 14, director, chief engineer of the third factory."

There is no need to restrain himself in front of his wife. In his previous life, he couldn't even explain the connection and difference between a section chief and a senior clerk. He must be happy to have achieved this in this life.

If I don’t share this kind of happiness with my own people, who can I share it with?

Lou Xiao'e probably understood something, that is, Gao Zhendong's step was even bigger than what Sister Qin said. She stood and leaned on Gao Zhendong's shoulder: "Haha, that's great, you're really awesome. Shall we go home for dinner on Saturday night?"

This little wish must be satisfied, so she wanted to go back and show it to her mother.

Gao Zhendong nodded: "Well, okay, go home and see my parents."

Lou Xiao'e happily turned around and went to serve the food, saying as she did so, "By the way, invite Lao Wang and Lao Xie to have a get-together on Sunday."

Gao Zhendong agreed, "Okay, OK, I'll give Sha Zhu a heads up later and ask him to take care of it."

The couple had happily finished their meal and were busy with their own things when there was a knock on the door.

Gao Zhendong opened the door and saw that it was Yan Bugui, who was holding something in his hand.

"Hey, Teacher Yan, you are a rare guest. Please come in. Xiao'e, pour me a glass of water."

The term "rare guest" is somewhat ironic considering the current situation.

Yan Bugui came in, sat down and talked to Gao Zhendong for a long time in a confusing and confusing manner, but Gao Zhendong did not ask what the matter was, as if he was sure that Yan Bugui came just to visit.

In the end, Yan Bugui had no choice but to explain his purpose: "Zhendong, I heard from Jie Cheng today that you went up?"

Gao Zhendong shook his head: "It's not that weird. It's just that several departments in the factory were reorganized and have a new name. They still do what they did before."

Yan Bugui heard what his boss said, and it seemed to be true. No one in the factory said that Gao Zhendong was promoted or anything like that. Anyway, there were just a few dry notices, and he could go for the rest if he wanted.

Apart from those who attended the meeting that day, only a few people in the HR department knew that Gao Zhendong had been promoted to a higher administrative level. The news had not spread yet. Given his situation, the spread would probably be slow. Gao Zhendong was right. He used to do scientific research, and he is still the same now. As for the daily work of the third factory, Director Yan is in charge, and his own work has indeed not changed at first glance.

"No matter what, he is in charge of the technology of a branch factory. I have never seen such a few chief engineers in my life."

There were not as many technical personnel in those days as in later generations, and chief engineers in large state-owned factories were even rarer, even if they were only in branch factories.

"Hey, it's just a title. The branch factory's affairs are managed by the factory director."

"Zhendong, look what's going on. Jie Cheng has been in your factory for quite some time."

Before he finished speaking, Gao Zhendong looked surprised and said, "What? Were you bullied? If so, I'll go to the security department tomorrow and investigate thoroughly."

"No, no, how could that be? You were the one who helped him choose this job. He is doing well and has not been bullied."

"Not really, not really. I just helped to inquire about it. As for work, it's up to you to choose your own path. As long as the work goes smoothly, that's good."

The meaning is quite obvious. Just make sure the work goes well and don't say anything else.

It’s not that Yan Bugui didn’t understand, but he thought that since he was already here and looked so embarrassed, he couldn’t come for nothing.

"Zhendong, it's like this. Jie Cheng joined the factory, which should be a good thing. I'm thinking, can you transfer him to your branch factory? You two are about the same age, and you can be neighbors and take care of each other."

Fuck, you're taking advantage of me, right? This old sour guy just can't talk.

Gao Zhendong shook his head: "Teacher Yan, it's not that I don't want to help, but the production and daily work of the branch factory are all under the management of Director Yan, and I can't interfere."

"Then let him come to the technical department that you are in charge of?"

This is what Yan Bugui wants. Technical jobs have high salaries and great prospects.

Gao Zhendong did not refuse: "Well, that's a solution. The technical recruitment requirements for the branch factory are not high this year. The factory has set a requirement that a technical secondary school degree or above will suffice."

This is the truth. Although technical secondary school was very ordinary in Gao Zhendong's previous life, in this era, it can still be considered a high-level intellectual.

In fact, he originally asked Yan Bugui to help Yan Jiecheng manage the affairs of the TV University with this in mind. If you are willing to follow the pace and not make things difficult for me, then it is also my duty to help my neighbors. At least you have to meet the minimum conditions.

But you are unwilling to spend energy and time to follow the path that has been pointed out to you, and you only think about good things. It is a bit unreasonable for me to get you, a junior high school graduate, into the technical department of the third factory.

Don't be picky. It's not easy for a technical secondary school graduate to get a technical position in the Third Rolling Mill, no matter it's the Third Rolling Mill or not. Now there is a research laboratory, which is the Third Rolling Mill that is about to be integrated, pulling the whole thing together. The technical position in the Third Rolling Mill is very valuable.

As for the three-tier factories, it is basically stipulated that it is possible for technical secondary schools, but in practice it is basically impossible.

Technical secondary school? This made Yan Bugui dumbfounded. If I had a technical secondary school, why would I come to you? I could have directly joined the technical department of the third rolling mill.

If Gao Zhendong knew what he was thinking, he might laugh and say, "Teacher Yan, you think too much."

Yan Bugui talked with Gao Zhendong for a few more words, but seeing that things were not going as he wished, he had to say goodbye to Gao Zhendong awkwardly and went back with his things.

Looking at Yan Bugui's back, Gao Zhendong couldn't help but sigh.

——What a talent!

This is just right, so I don’t have to refuse it harshly.

At the same time, at Ding Yongnian's house.

"Wife, do you think I should take something with me and go congratulate Chief Engineer Gao?"

Ever since he was forced by his wife to find Gao Zhendong and got a place in the TV University, Ding Yongnian never forgot to discuss major matters with his wife.

"Which Mr. Gao?" His wife didn't know about this yet, and for a moment she couldn't connect it with Gao Zhendong, mainly because she didn't expect the change to be so fast.

"Oh, Director Gao from the front yard. He is now the chief engineer of the third factory. I was wondering if I should ask him to transfer me to his position."

"What? He's been promoted again? I think, considering Chief Engineer Gao's personality, you shouldn't bring anything, just congratulate him verbally, the key is to do the things he asked you to do. I don't understand him, but I think he's just been promoted, and you're asking for this and that, isn't that a bit immature?"

His wife immediately followed suit and changed her name to "Ms. Gao".

"But the third factory has just been established. I thought it would be easier to arrange for him now. It won't be difficult."

"Tsk, the one who can help you is the Third Branch? It's Mr. Gao! Why are you in such a hurry?"
