Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 341 Technical Division

"Come on, you have such a comfortable job as a section chief! You sleep in the office every day!"

Zhang Zhiwen pushed open the door and came in.

He Lai is using his mind to process the cotton in the space. The cotton needs to use spatial power to straighten the fibers and make it fluffy and clean.

"Brother Zhiwen, can you please knock on the door? What if...what if I have guests here? It would be embarrassing if others saw us."

Zhang Zhiwen's voice suddenly interrupted him, and he could only come back to his senses and continue talking.

"Haha, there's something fishy going on here! Don't think I don't know that you're almost farting from time to time!"

Zhang Zhiwen sat down without any hesitation and said.

"Tell me what's the matter, my young master Zhang! Do you want me to pour you a cup of tea?" He Lai could only smile when he saw Zhang Zhiwen's expression.

"Nothing much. I just heard that you got some pork yesterday, so my comrades asked me to come and ask about it."

"Brother Zhiwen, needless to say, it must be you with such a big mouth who told it!"

He Lai rolled his eyes and looked at Zhang Zhiwen with contempt.

"You really wronged me! When Xiao Huang went to the workshop, he heard from people in your courtyard that you caught several wild boars yesterday. So everyone asked me to come to you and ask if you can provide benefits for your soldiers.

Zhang Zhiwen explained.

When He Lai heard this, he realized that this was the case. It was true. This kind of thing could not be concealed.

"Okay, but I'll give you the meat, and you can divide it up yourself. I'll give you the meat, and you can divide it up yourself! Just 50 kilograms, and you can divide it up as you see fit."

"Okay, then when will the meat be available?" Zhang Zhiwen said with a smile.

"Then I'll go out at noon and bring the meat to you. Tell them to keep a low profile, otherwise Director Li will come to me for the meat again!"

"Okay, okay, then you continue sleeping. I'm leaving!" When Zhang Zhiwen saw that the deal was done, he went back. Everyone was waiting for him.

He Lai also shook his head, but he, as the head of the technical department, was indeed quite idle, and the work was basically done by his subordinates.

Although the Red Star Steel Mill is called a steel rolling mill, it does not have several rolling workshops. It is almost the same as some machinery factories, producing corresponding machine parts for various factory units.

The main job of the technical department is to ensure that nothing goes wrong in the workshop and that every machine and equipment can operate normally. We should be thankful for that.

He Lai never thought about researching new machines to replace the old ones, or CNC machine tools, because that was not realistic!

Don’t even mention the assembly line. Once the assembly line is introduced, the work processes will be divided into different categories. Each person will only be responsible for one process, so it will be difficult to manage the worker grades and the wages will be messed up.

If this happens, the eight-grade worker system will be completely messed up, and the middle and senior workers will hate He Lai to death!

Senior workers all have apprentices, which is equivalent to offending a large group of workers. During the Cultural Revolution, He Lai would definitely be dragged out for criticism and there would be no way out in that era.

The most important thing these days is not how capable you are, but to learn how to build good relationships with the workers, and that’s all!

The implementation of the maintenance plan has brought benefits to most workers, the most important of which is that the probability of worker injury has been reduced.

In addition, He Lai is also good at repairing machines, so this has greatly improved his status in the hearts of the workers.

Soon at noon, He Lai left the steel rolling mill, found a small restaurant to have a meal, then went to a secluded place, took a bag of wild boar meat from the space, put it on the back seat of the bicycle, and went back.

When He Lai brought the wild boar meat into the technical department, everyone was excited and kept calling him "Section Chief Xiao He, Section Chief Xiao He".

"As for the meat, consider it a reward for your hard work these days. Each person should get a little over a pound. Don't worry if it's more or less, since there's no scale after all.

Brother Zhiwen, go to the cafeteria and borrow a knife so you can divide the meat among us."

He Lai said to everyone with a smile.

People in the technical department expressed their gratitude.

Lou Xiao'e did not gather around the piece of meat like the others did. After all, her family did not lack this piece of meat.

However, she stared blankly at the young boy in front of her, and became more and more interested in He Lai. After all, He Lai was so capable, no wonder her father was impressed by him.

"Xiao'e, what are you daydreaming about? Why don't you go get the meat?"

Song Dandan took back about two kilograms of meat with a smile. After all, she was one of the top students in the three technical subjects.

"Ah... I don't want that. Give mine to Sister Dandan. I don't lack meat at home."

Lou Xiao'e came back to her senses and said something casually.

"How can that be? I said everyone gets one portion. Listen to me and take it back so that your parents can have a taste of the meat you brought back."

Song Dandan refused it and instead advised Lou Xiaoe to take it back.

"Oh, okay, thank you Sister Dandan." Lou Xiao'e thought it made sense. After all, this was the first time she had obtained meat through her work.

……

After work, He Lai went to Mr. Zhou's place and brought him some tiger bone wine and Ganoderma lucidum.

He Lai used his spatial ability to take out five pounds of tiger bone wine from the jar and put it into a glass jar, then covered it. Drinking a little of this stuff is very good for the health of the elderly.

Tiger bone wine not only has the effect of strengthening yang, but also has the effect of strengthening the body and bones. It is suitable for elderly people with hemiplegia, chronic rheumatism, and joint pain.

As soon as I entered the compound, I saw Li Yuanchao and another group of people rushing out.

"Are you guys going to fight again?" He Lai greeted.

"We are going to uphold justice!" Xu Yang jumped out and said loudly.

"Okay, okay, go ahead. Just don't use weapons, okay?" He Lai felt that there was no point in getting involved, so he didn't bother.

Anyway, they are just a group of teenagers with too much energy and need to release it.

Fighting among teenagers is still normal nowadays, but after the Red Guard incident, things probably started to get more brutal.

Li Yuanchao and his group did not respond to He Lai's words. They bypassed him and ran out. After all, He Lai's fighting power was a bit terrifying.

He Lai came to Grandpa Zhou's house and found that Grandpa Xu was playing chess with Grandpa Zhou again.

"Oh, I caught you! Xiao Laizi, what's that in your hand? Give it to me."

When Mr. Xu saw He coming, he stopped playing chess, threw away the chess pieces, and walked over.

"Old Xu, you are such a good elder, right? It's not that serious!"

Mr. Zhou put down the chess piece in his hand, took a sip of tea, and said calmly.

"Come on, this kid brings you things every day, so of course you can talk without any pain in your waist. Oh, is this a medicine bar?"

Old Master Xu took the glass jar from He Lai and asked.

"Uh... it's medicinal wine. I asked my master to make some tiger bone wine. It happened to be ready today, so I brought it over to Grandpa Zhou... and... and Grandpa Xu."

He Lai looked at Mr. Xu's unfriendly eyes, but still cleverly added Mr. Xu's name.

"You still have some conscience, this tiger bone wine is really good. I'll go back and pour out half of it."

Old Master Xu said this with a smile, then ran away with the glass jar. The old man ran quite fast and disappeared in a flash.

For a moment, He Lai and the others were stunned. They didn't expect that Mr. Xu would run away with the things!

"You are so good, Old Xu, you dare to steal my things. No, I have to come and get them back."

Mr. Zhou was instantly furious and stood up to go to Mr. Xu's house.

"Grandpa Zhou, forget it. Maybe Grandpa Xu will get it back later."

He Lai persuaded.

"It's in his pocket, how can it be taken out so easily? No, I have to go over now. If I'm late, he will hide it."

Mr. Zhou obviously didn't believe that Mr. Xu would give him half, so he rushed out the door.

"Grandma Zhou, next time I have to call the guard before coming here to ask if Mr. Xu is there so that I can make preparations."

He Lai said in distress.

"Hey, it's okay, let them have their fun. I'm used to it."

Old Mrs. Zhou obviously didn't take this matter to heart and said it lightly.

"Grandma Zhou, this is the Ganoderma lucidum I got. You can boil it and drink it every day. It is good for the health of the elderly."

He Lai gave the Ganoderma lucidum in the cloth bag to Old Mrs. Zhou.

"Okay, thank you, Xiao Laizi." Old Mrs. Zhou didn't bother to be polite with He Lai and took the Ganoderma lucidum.

Then the two began to chat.
