Around ten o'clock in the morning.

A jeep drove slowly on the road, but Zheng Zhendong did not drive this time, but sat in the passenger seat.

In the back, Liu Changhe and Sun Jianping talked a few words from time to time, and let out a pleasant smile.

The driver's skills can only be said to be average, and it is not without Zheng Zhendongqiang, the car swayed left and right under his driving, not to mention, and from time to time there was an emergency brake.

So for the sake of life safety, Zheng Zhendong didn't dare to talk to him, for fear that he would accidentally have another traffic accident.

Fortunately, there are not many vehicles on this road, and pedestrians hurriedly dodge after seeing the car from afar, so there is no danger.

Red Star Rolling Mill.

From afar, Zheng Zhendong saw the huge sign at the door, the crowd that came to greet him, and the red banner that was hung up.

Stopping the car at the door, Zheng Zhendong pushed the door open, quickly got down from above, and helped the leader pull the car door.

At this time, Zhang Xude, the secretary of the factory, also walked forward quickly, with a bright smile on his face.

At the same time, Sun Jianping also walked down from the car, as if he was measuring the distance with a ruler, the two sides walked seven or eight steps each, and the four big hands were tightly clasped together, shaking and shaking, the two of them were like old friends who had not seen each other for a long time, and greeted each other warmly.

Sun Jianping turned his head, looked at the crowd that came to greet him, and the red banner hanging above the door, a flower appeared on his face, and he said politely: "Secretary Zhang, how can you make such a big battle, I really dare not be ashamed!" ”

Zhang Xude smiled and said heartily: "Director Sun, our comrades in the rolling mill welcome you to come here to guide the work, and I hope that the outstanding cadres you bring can help us do our work." ”

The smile on Sun Jianping's face became more and more intense, and then he leaned his head forward and quipped: "Is what you said true, you won't scold me in your heart, right?" ”

"Eh..., how could it be?" Zhang Xude hurriedly shook his head with a smile, then looked behind Sun Jianping, nodded at Liu Changhe first, and saw Zheng Zhendong so young, and looked at himself with a smile, so he sighed and said with emotion: "It's really terrifying, when I see them grow up, I feel old!" ”

"Lao Ji is in the woods, and his ambitions are thousands of miles." Sun Jianjun smiled and patted him on the shoulder twice to show comfort, and then introduced to him: "This is Comrade Liu Changhe, this time he came to work in your factory, you should take more care of him in the future." ”

"Secretary Zhang, hello." Liu Changhe hurriedly took two steps forward and stretched out his hand with a smile.

Zhang Xude stretched out his hand, shook him gently, and nodded with a smile: "Comrade Changhe, you are welcome to come to work in our rolling mill, and if you encounter problems in work and life in the future, you can tell me directly." ”

Liu Changhe hurriedly responded: "Okay, Secretary Zhang, I will be your soldier in the future, and I will definitely trouble you in the future!" ”

After seeing the two of them say hello, Sun Jianping pointed to Zheng Zhendong again, and solemnly introduced: "This is Comrade Zheng Zhendong, don't look at him young, he is a secondary school student of the Industrial College!"

As soon as he graduated, he was assigned to work in the bureau, and has been following Comrade Changhe, successively participating in the expansion project of Shijingshan Iron and Steel Plant and the installation of equipment in the new workshop of the No. 1 Machinery Factory.

This time, Comrade Changhe wanted to come down, but he didn't say a word, he made a transfer report in the bureau, and he had to follow down, he was a young man with enthusiasm and loyalty. ”

Sun Jianping admired Zheng Zhendong's performance very much, especially in the matter of choosing Liu Changhe to advance and retreat together, he was even more impressed.

So when he introduced Zheng Zhendong's situation, he was naturally subjective, and his mouth was full of praise.

After listening to the introduction, Zhang Xude's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but feel that talent is rare, and he is so loyal, he is a rare good comrade.

He stretched out his hand and shook Zheng Zhendong tightly, and then without waiting for him to speak, he said directly to him: "Comrade Xiao Zheng, hello, welcome you to come to the front line to work, our rolling mill needs fresh blood like you, work hard in the future, as long as you can make achievements, I will definitely ask for credit to you." ”

For Sun Jianping's unsparing words of praise and the appreciation in Zhang Xude's eyes, Zheng Zhendong was somewhat at a loss.

But he also knows that all the praise of the leadership is false, and he will not take special care of himself because of this, and only when he really makes achievements will he be transformed into substantive benefits.

So instead of being complacent, he looked sincerely scared, and repeatedly said that he had not done enough, and he should work harder in the future.

After introducing the situation here, Sun Jianping took another step forward and shook hands lightly with Wang Changyou, the director of the factory, and the two just chatted lightly, and then passed by, however, the eye contact during the period was extremely rich and full of meaning.

"Hello, hello!" With a smile, Sun Jianping shook hands cordially with the leading cadres of the rolling mill, and soon everyone finished greeting.

Zheng Zhendong also followed behind the leaders and got to know the leaders in the factory.

For everyone's ridicule, ridicule, or consideration in their eyes, Zheng Zhendong naturally has a full view.

However, he did not get angry because of this, after all, he was too young, and among a large group of leading cadres with an average age of forty, he was the youngest, so he seemed to stand out from the crowd.

When he came to Li Huaide, before he could speak, he saw this fang showing a flattering smile.

Stretched out his hands, shook them vigorously, and said, "Chief Zheng, let's meet again, hello." ”

"Director Li, you're okay." Zheng Zhendong nodded at him without being arrogant or humble.

Li Huaide didn't feel angry because of Zheng Zhendong's attitude, he smiled with great flattery: "Chief Zheng, in the future, wherever it is useful to me, even if you open your mouth, I will definitely help you do it properly." ”

When everyone saw him like this, they all threw surprised glances at the two of them, and couldn't help but guess what was going on, why did Li Huaide slap Zheng Zhendong like this.

You must know that Li Huaide is not nobody, his current father-in-law is a leader in the ministry, how can Zheng Zhendong He De make him so groveling.

Facing everyone's skeptical eyes, Zheng Zhendong responded stiffly: "Director Li is polite, please take care of me in the future, thank you!" ”

"Okay, Chief Zheng." The attitude has already shown that it is better not to reveal some secrets, and Li Huaide didn't want everyone to know the network behind Zheng Zhendong, so he agreed with a smile, and then retreated.

Everyone stayed at the gate for a while, and then hugged Sun Jianping and walked to the factory.

"Xiao Zheng, what's going on?" Liu Changhe walked in the crowd, and after seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he lowered his voice and asked Zheng Zhendong, with a look of concern on his face.

"He is Li Huaide what I told you before." Zheng Zhendong also muttered in a low voice.

Knowing that there are too many people to know today, Liu Changhe didn't care too much about Li Huaide before, so Zheng Zhendong is not too strange, after all, human memory is flawed, and it is inevitable that so much information will suddenly pour in, and it will not be right for a while.

"It's him!" Liu Changhe nodded suddenly, and then remembered that Zheng Zhendong had specially mentioned this person to himself before.

"Hmm." Zheng Zhendong nodded in affirmation.

On the current occasion, it is not suitable to talk about this topic, so Zheng Zhendong didn't say much.

Liu Changhe became interested, and couldn't help but ask again: "He seems to be a little afraid of you, is there anything else?" ”

Seeing that some people had begun to pay attention to the situation here, Zheng Zhendong Nunu mouthed and motioned to him: "Leader, let's talk later." ”

Although Liu Changhe was still curious, he could still distinguish the priorities of the matter, and knew that Zheng Zhendong didn't want to mention it here, so he no longer urged him.

A group of people walked on the factory road, watching the workers and masters go in and out of the workshop, pushing or lifting in their hands, and constantly sending finished and semi-finished products to the outside of the workshop.

Accompanied by the leaders of the factory, everyone visited the hot rolling workshop, cold rolling workshop, finishing workshop, heat treatment workshop, roll processing room, machine repair workshop and machining workshop.

The time gradually came to half past eleven in the morning, and after the machining workshop came out, everyone walked towards the third canteen at the invitation of Zhang Xude.

In the cafeteria.

Hao Xiwang, the director of the canteen, walked into the back kitchen quickly, looked at the stupid pillar that had already begun to make preparations, and finally let go of his heart.

However, he also knew that Silly Zhu was a thorn, so he specially advised: "Silly Zhu, you have to show your housekeeping skills today and cook the dishes for me, otherwise the leader will blame you, don't say I didn't remind you!" ”

Just because Hao Xiwang attaches so much importance to this matter, Silly Zhu knows that today's lunch meal is extraordinary, and he is not stupid, of course he understands the importance of the matter, so he naturally will not work against the leader at this time.

Although he couldn't get used to his villainous face, Silly Zhu still happily agreed: "Just put your heart in your stomach, my Director Hao, I will definitely do a good job of cooking and strive to satisfy all the leaders." ”

Hao Xiwang saw that the stupid pillar did not fight with him, and his heart was instantly happy, he nodded, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll rest assured with your words, you can be busy first, I'll go to the door to see if the leader has arrived." ”

After seeing Hao Xiwang go out, Silly Zhu was busy but not chaotic, and continued to deal with the ingredients in his hands, but his mouth was full of curiosity and asked Liu Lan: "Liu Lan, where is the leader who came today?" This dish is really hearty! ”

"Deputy Director of the Industrial Bureau." Liu Lan's nickname Bao inquired, there was nothing in the factory that she didn't know, so she naturally inquired about the information clearly, and now when she saw the stupid pillar asking, she leaked the news by the way.

"Oh? What are you doing here? Silly Zhu then asked again.

Although he asked questions, he kept his hands and feet, boiled oil in the pot, stir-fried the green onions, ginger and garlic, poured in the shredded meat that had been cut long ago, and waited for the dry stir-fry to bring out the fragrance, and then put the seasonings in turn, and finally put in the green vegetables, stir-fry a few times over high heat, put in the monosodium glutamate salt, and fry the vegetables with shredded meat, even if it is completed.

Smelling the tempting fragrance emanating from the pot, Liu Lan's saliva was about to flow down, and her stomach screamed even more.

Although she works in the cafeteria, she cooks big pot dishes on weekdays, and there are not many opportunities to really engage in reception, plus she still has to be face-saving now, and she has not yet developed to the point of becoming Li Huaide's lover.

So when she saw such a tempting dish, her face immediately showed a look of wanting to eat.

Besides, Silly Zhu is the chef in the cafeteria after all, and he has the power to distribute leftovers, so that he can give himself a little more when the time comes.

Waiting for the stupid pillar to put the dishes on the plate, Liu Lan took advantage of the time to serve the dishes, and said with a flattering smile: "Our factory is going to have a deputy director, you should have heard of it, this deputy director is here to send him to his post." ”

Silly Zhu nodded when he heard this: "So that's the case, okay, I know." ”

Put the dishes on the tray, Liu Lan picked them up and left, and soon left the back kitchen, came to the private room, and saw that the guests were already seated, so he hurriedly put the dishes on the table.

After Zheng Zhendong saw that the person who came to serve the food was Liu Lan, he smiled at her.

Liu Lan was also a little surprised, but this was not the place to talk after all, so she just nodded and didn't squeak.

Coming out of the private room, Liu Lan trotted all the way back to the back kitchen, looking at the busy stupid pillar, she said with a gossipy face: "Silly pillar, guess who I saw in the private room?" ”

"Who?" The stupid pillar didn't reply, and continued to be busy stir-frying, at this time he was busy, how could he not have the heart to tell Liu Lan this.

Although the stupid Zhu's attitude made her very unhappy, as if she was punching cotton, Liu Lan didn't bother to investigate, she still replied excitedly: "Zheng Zhendong in your courtyard, I have seen him before, and I will never admit my mistake, and he still nodded with me." ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Lan couldn't help but roll her eyes at the back of the stupid pillar.

At the same time, I secretly thought in my heart: "As soon as this news comes out, I can definitely stop the stupid pillar and let him drag it like this, and I think I am amazing, compared with Zheng Zhendong, it is nothing, they are all people from the courtyard, some people can sit with the leader and chat, eat and drink, and some people can only make a living by serving people, which really can't be compared." ”

"Brother Dongzi?" Silly Zhu was indeed stunned by her, only to see him put down the frying spoon in his hand and look at Liu Lan with an incredible face, "Have you seen clearly, don't be dazzled!" ”

"Why don't you believe it!"

Seeing that Silly Zhu didn't believe what he said, Liu Lan suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly said, "Why don't you go over and see for yourself, can I still have this bit of eyesight?" If you still don't believe it, wait for the last dish and serve it yourself, and then you will know whether it is true or not. ”

Silly Zhu looked at what Liu Lan said, and couldn't help but suddenly realize that he had heard that Zheng Zhendong was going to work in the rolling mill before, who would have thought that it would be today.

Knowing that there was Zheng Zhendong at the dinner table today, Silly Zhule said with a smile: "My Dongzi brother has come to the factory, I have to cook the dishes at noon today, let him taste my craftsmanship." ”
