Chapter 140 Military Order Announcement

The next morning, the military order signed by Xu Qiang was posted on the factory's bulletin board by the Propaganda Department.

At the beginning, not many people paid attention to it, but by the time people got off work at noon, it quickly attracted a crowd of onlookers.

Although some people already knew that Xu Qiang had signed a military order in front of the factory director, the public announcement immediately caused a sensation among all the employees in the factory. It was also the first time for most people to see what a military order looked like, and Xu Qiang's signature at the bottom of the military order was particularly eye-catching.

At the same time, Xu Qiang took the hot meal to his office as usual, preparing to take a nap after eating.

At this moment, Wang Yongsheng suddenly appeared at the door of his office.

"Xu Qiang, go check it out! The factory has posted your military order. It's on the bulletin board in front of the Workers' Cultural Palace!"

As soon as he entered the door, Wang Yongsheng shouted to Xu Qiang.

"What? A military order? The one I wrote?"

"That's right, your name is signed on it, you should go over there right away!" Wang Yongsheng was obviously a little indignant, and he continued, "This damn leader is so mean, isn't he putting you on the fire? He doesn't even want you to live, if you fail to complete the task, you might even lose your job..."

"Okay, I got it." Xu Qiang replied, and then said to Wang Yongsheng: "Have you eaten yet? Sit down and eat together. I still have half a bottle of wine left. I'll give it all to you..."

As Xu Qiang spoke, he stood up and moved a stool for Wang Yongsheng.

"I say, are you stupid? The leader is playing a joke on you! Shouldn't the military order be kept confidential? Why do they make it public?" Wang Yongsheng said indignantly when he saw Xu Qiang so calm.

"I was the one who took the initiative to sign it, so there's nothing to keep secret. Besides, everyone in the factory already knew about it. What difference does it make if it's made public or not?" Xu Qiang looked disapproving. He continued, "Besides, I've accepted the loss. There's nothing to say. Do you think if I don't make this military order public, the factory will let me off the hook after my project fails?"

Xu Qiang didn't take the public announcement of the military order seriously, because he had always been doing this with the confidence of victory.

And judging from the current progress, as long as the customized acid bottles can be delivered within half a month, his samples will definitely be produced by the end of the month.

As for the remaining one month, it is more than enough for testing. Besides, the testing factory cannot do this for this new product, so it can only be handed over to the province. As for the test results of the samples, Xu Qiang is still quite confident. After all, he is relatively familiar with this type of battery. In terms of adapting to extreme temperatures, it will definitely be a huge improvement over existing batteries.

Moreover, after the military order was announced, once Xu Qiang's project was successful, the rewards would definitely increase. At least his entry into the technical department was a foregone conclusion.

It’s just that Xu Qiang has already liked his current working environment, which is relaxed and comfortable. On the contrary, working in an office building would be very restrictive.

"Do you really think you can succeed?" Seeing Xu Qiang's confident look, Wang Yongsheng asked doubtfully, "Then why did I hear others say that you can't do this? Now domestic experts can't solve the battery problem..."

"They know nothing. If they could predict everything, there would be no need for the technical department in the factory."

"That's true..." Wang Yongsheng nodded, and then said to Xu Qiang: "By the way, Master, you said you would teach me to dance, when are we going to start?" "I'm going to sleep at noon, let's find a place to practice in the evening after the night school is over."

"That's fine." Wang Yongsheng smiled with satisfaction after hearing that. After a moment, he said, "By the way, Master, you were so awesome last time in the dance hall. You were the first one in our factory to dance with our squad leader. If you really want to pursue her..."

"Stop!" Xu Qiang frowned and said, "Tell me the truth, do you think she will like me?"

"This...probably not."

"That's it. Why bother with that? I'm just a temporary worker who's trying to make a living. I haven't even got a permanent job yet. What's the point of thinking about these things?" Xu Qiang said, rolling his eyes at Wang Yongsheng.

Any man would be more or less moved by a girl as outstanding and beautiful as Li Siying, but Xu Qiang understood that now was not the time for him to think about such things. His top priority was to gain a foothold in the factory and make more money.

Xu Qiang has always had a plan for his future development.

The chemical industry has always been an extremely asset-heavy industry. If Xu Qiang wants to make great achievements in this industry, he either needs to have a lot of funds or he can only rely on others to lay eggs.

Moreover, even if you have money these days, you can't start your own chemical factory, so Xu Qiang's plan is to first gain a foothold in a military industrial unit like Shengli Machinery Factory, and gradually get promoted in the factory through the research and development of military products. When his position and social status are improved, he can obtain more connections and resources, especially connections, which are very critical for Xu Qiang to start his own business in the future.

In addition, Xu Qiang himself is a military fan and also has a dream of a strong country. If he can make some contributions to the country's military industry in the process of entrepreneurship, it will be a highlight in his life.

However, all this is not easy and can only be done step by step. Even if he has chemical technology that surpasses this era, he still has to follow the rules of the game in current factories and society. It is impossible to achieve success overnight.

Perhaps after the mid-to-late 1980s, when national policies were gradually relaxed, Xu Qiang would be able to start his own business, and that would have been a whole new world.

"Hahaha!" Wang Yongsheng laughed when he heard Xu Qiang say that.

Afterwards, Xu Qiang picked up the half bottle of remaining wine, filled the glass, and the two of them started chatting while eating...

……

In the evening, as usual, Xu Qiang came to the workers' night school and began his evening studies.

Recently, all the students in the night school have been working very hard. Some of them even stayed in the classroom after class and were reluctant to leave. For this reason, Meng Guangsheng, who manages the night school, made an exception and extended the classroom usage time, changing the lights-out time from 9:30 to 10:30 every day.

The reason for this situation is very simple. The national TVU entrance examination will begin in mid-October, and now it is early September, and there is only more than a month left until the college entrance examination.

For ordinary workers like them, going to university is almost their only chance to change their fate. In addition, in the past two years, the factory has taken great care of students who have been admitted to TVU. A special study station has been set up in Shanghai, and students can study with pay. This is naturally very tempting for many employees who originally came from Shanghai...
