Chapter 203 A Belated Surprise

"It took me a long time to come up with this idea," said Xu Qiang.

"The design of the centrifuge's rolling internal filling bracket is so ingenious, which means you must understand some mechanical design principles. Otherwise, it can only mean that you are a genius!" He Yonghong glanced at Xu Qiang and said, "Now I understand a little bit, why you can become a model worker right after joining the factory, and you can also successfully develop products. This person is really incomparable..."

"It's not as complicated as you think. I've been interested in machinery since I was a child. I used to go to the agricultural machinery station often. There are a lot of agricultural machinery equipment there. It can be regarded as an amateur hobby... In fact, these equipment of mine are all reference magazines. I have seen a lot and know a little bit." Xu Qiang smiled slightly, and then said: "Okay, I'll take the drawings. Thank you for your hard work. By the way, you should restrain yourself. The factory director really likes to hang around my place. If he wants to drink, lock the door first, otherwise if the old man gets angry, both of us will be in trouble!"

"Okay! I understand." He Yonghong said with a smile.

The next moment, Xu Qiang left the office with the drawings drawn by He Yonghong and went directly to a workshop.

Workshop 1 is the machining workshop. The shell body parts of the artillery shells produced by Shengli Machinery Factory are processed by this workshop. The daily production tasks are very busy, and it is also the workshop with the most model workers in the factory.

Despite this, after Xu Qiang arrived, the workshop was still very enthusiastic about him and immediately assigned two people to work at the machine tool stations to fully cooperate with Xu Qiang's work.

Even the workshop director Yang Chengyong pulled Xu Qiang into the dispatch room and drank tea together.

The reason for such treatment is very simple. After all, Xu Qiang is a new model worker in the factory and a favorite of the factory director Liu Biao. Liu Biao had already notified the heads of each workshop and asked them to fully cooperate with Xu Qiang's product research and development work. So Xu Qiang's work this time was quite smooth. After the workers got the drawings, they immediately put down their work at hand and started processing him first.

"...Xiao Xu, if you had a higher degree, you would have a bright future, so you must learn more..." At this time, Yang Chengyong and Xu Qiang were sitting face to face, and he said, "Look at Director Liu's daughter. This girl is really extraordinary. She has already graduated from a technical secondary school, and this time she was admitted to university. I think when Chief Engineer Li retires, with her degree and her father's relationship, she will sooner or later become the chief engineer of our factory..."

"Wait? Are you saying that Liu Siying has been admitted to university?" Xu Qiang was stunned when he heard this.

"That's right! The admission notices have been delivered to our factory this morning!" Yang Chengyong raised his eyebrows and continued, "This year, two people in our factory were admitted to the TV University. One is Liu Siying, and the other is Secretary Liu from the trade union. It's not easy for Secretary Liu. His three children insisted on going to college, and this time he finally got what he wanted..."

"Ah, that's really amazing." Xu Qiang nodded.

When Xu Qiang learned that he failed to get into university, he was surprised and a little disappointed.

He didn't expect that he was a doctoral student in his previous life. After his rebirth, he studied hard for such a long time, but still failed in the end. This was a small blow to him.

But soon, Xu Qiang calmed down. After all, he was only in his early twenties, and the factory’s night school was held every year, so he still had plenty of opportunities.

Besides, if he really wanted to go to Shanghai to attend classes, Xu Qiang's peat farm business would be a big problem. After all, he couldn't come back often. Of course, everything depended on the specific situation, not to mention that Xu Qiang had not received the admission letter yet.

With the help of the workers and leaders in the workshop, Xu Qiang's parts were processed in just four hours. After measuring the precision with a vernier caliper, Xu Qiang showed a satisfied smile.

The successful processing of this batch of parts, on the one hand, shows that the skills of the masters in the workshop must be excellent and can fully meet Xu Qiang's design requirements. On the other hand, it shows that He Yonghong's drawings are indeed very good. From beginning to end, the master in charge of processing did not raise any questions about the drawings. He Yonghong is really good at it.

But then again, if He Yonghong didn't have this ability, he probably wouldn't have been assigned to the technical department.

After temporarily storing the processed workpieces in the workshop's warehouse, Xu Qiang immediately went to the Information Department. He planned to continue working overtime tonight to complete the sketch design of the machine parts.

With Xu Qiang's wisdom, after these days of observation and thinking, Xu Qiang has begun to master some basic drawing methods, but his efficiency is very low. Under the current circumstances of rushing the project schedule, Xu Qiang cannot do everything by himself. Only with the concerted efforts of the team can the task be successfully completed on time.

As soon as he entered the reading room, Xu Qiang began to work wholeheartedly.

It was almost exactly the same as yesterday. It was not until almost nine o'clock in the evening that Xu Qiang raised his head and found that he and Liu Siying were the only two people left in the reading room.

At this time, Liu Siying was also ready to finish her work for the day.

The two smiled at each other and then left the reading room together.

"Congratulations, congratulations on being admitted to university." Walking out of the office building, Xu Qiang said to Liu Siying with a smile.

"You can do it, but you may not have performed well enough." Liu Siying smiled and continued, "But you will have plenty of opportunities in the future. Don't be discouraged. You are so smart, you will definitely be able to go to college."

"Thank you for the encouragement. I will just have to keep working hard next year." Xu Qiang said with a smile.

By this time, Xu Qiang's mood had actually basically calmed down.

Liu Siying's words made him like this girl even more.

Thinking back to his previous life, when he received the college admission letter, he was so happy that he danced with joy, and all he could think about was how to celebrate and have fun. However, after Liu Siying received the admission letter, she still worked overtime in the factory. Such a calm mentality and enthusiasm for work made Xu Qiang feel ashamed of himself.

The two chatted all the way on their bikes, mostly about work. Before they knew it, they had arrived downstairs at Liu Siying's house.

This time, because the street lights in the community were broken and it was pitch black all around, Xu Qiang simply sent her to the door of her home.

Just as Liu Siying took out the key and was about to enter the room, the door suddenly opened, and Liu Siying's mother Zhao Xiufang appeared in front of them.

"Mom, it's a little late today, so Xu Qiang took me back." Liu Siying explained.

"Yeah." Zhao Xiufang responded, but her face didn't look good.

"Hello, Auntie, I..."

"bump!"

After Liu Siying entered the house, before Xu Qiang could finish speaking, the door was slammed shut, leaving Xu Qiang alone in the darkness...

……

The next morning, Xu Qiang continued to assign work to several people in the project team.

"... Let me tell you something. Yesterday, Brother He Yonghong drew three drawings by himself, and each of them was very well drawn. I had no problem handing them over to the workshop, and the workpieces have been made. I hope you can learn from Brother He." Xu Qiang first praised He Yonghong in public, and then continued: "I don't have high requirements for you guys. Even if you only produce one drawing a day, it must be a usable drawing. I don't want to be laughed at by the workers in other workshops. After all, you are also people in the technical department. You must have a rigorous spirit. This kind of mistake cannot be made again..."

Hearing what Xu Qiang said, the four newcomers in the project team all looked ashamed.

In fact, since they entered the technical department, they have had very few opportunities to practice drawing, mainly because the department leaders do not trust them and prefer to assign high-tech jobs to veteran technicians. Their daily work basically involves running errands to various workshops and reading meters, which does not involve any technical content at all.

It was precisely because of this that He Yonghong reminded Xu Qiang from the beginning that these four people could do nothing at all.

"…Our project is a bit tight right now. If you are not good at drawing, I suggest you ask Brother He for help…"

"I can't be a teacher. Besides, I'm very busy now and don't have time to teach them." He Yonghong immediately interjected.

He Yonghong was obviously too lazy to train new people. Besides, he was quite relaxed in Xu Qiang's laboratory and could even drink. If there were more people, he would not be able to drink happily and it would affect his thinking.

Moreover, in a factory, if you really want to learn something, you need to find a master. Generally speaking, when a new person enters the factory, the workshop leader will arrange a master for him, and the master-apprentice relationship these days is equivalent to half a father-son relationship. In the future, during festivals, you have to bring things to the master's house to place them. In some places, there is also a special apprenticeship ceremony.

Therefore, He Yonghong will never teach others easily. As the saying goes, teaching a disciple may starve the master. After all, this is their skill in eating.

"Then the four of you should study and discuss it together. In short, if you can't complete the task, you can only work overtime." Xu Qiang looked at He Wei at this time and said, "As for the overtime meals, let Comrade He Wei help to prepare meals for everyone. Each meal comes with two dishes, one meat and one vegetable. When the time comes, you can just give him the lunch box..."

"I don't want to run errands to get food." He Wei said with some resistance.

"Then you should be like them, designing a component every day, and you can't make any mistakes."

"Forget it, I'll make food for them." He Wei looked helpless.

"If everyone has no objection, let's get started." After Xu Qiang finished speaking, he signaled everyone that they could leave.

Just as everyone was leaving, a man in a security uniform suddenly entered the gate of the scrap warehouse on a bicycle.

"Xu Qiang, congratulations!"

When the man saw Xu Qiang, he immediately said with a smile on his face.

After all, Xu Qiang had participated in the commendation ceremony for model workers, and his photo was still hanging on the honor roll on the bulletin board, so the other party could recognize him at a glance.

"This is……"

"This should be your university admission certificate, which was sent to you by Jiangxi TV University!"

"What? You got into university!?" He Yonghong, who was standing behind Xu Qiang, was shocked when he heard this.
