Factory Director Yang's full name is Yang Guodong, but he was not called this name before, but Yang Ergou.
At that time, the country of China was still in turmoil. He grew up in a rural area, the second oldest child in his family, and his parents were both farmers.
Rural children are not particular about their names. Names like Da Ya, Xiao Hua, Gou Sheng, and Tiezhu can be seen everywhere.
Of course, there is also a bit of superstition in it. Giving a child a cheap name means that the child has a low life and is easy to support.
At that time, Director Yang felt that the happiest thing was to have a full meal, but at that time there were constant natural and man-made disasters.
Eating a meal is sometimes a luxury, let alone having a full meal?
That year, liberation teams came to the village to mobilize young people to join the liberation movement.
Director Yang, who had just grown up at the time, went to the team’s publicist and asked,
Why is liberation needed? Can people be fed?
The man replied,
Liberation is to ensure that everyone is not exploited and can have enough to eat.
So Director Yang said goodbye to his hometown and joined the liberation team.
Later in the team, when I had the opportunity to study further, I gave up my nickname.
Changing it to Yang Guodong means to become the pillar of the country, which is also his ambition, and he has been away for half his life.
Although he is now the director of a steel rolling mill, his original intention has not changed and he is still contributing to the construction of the motherland.
Uphold the integrity and magnanimity of that generation of soldiers.
…
In Director Yang's office, Su Cheng was sitting upright, opposite the painted red desk. Director Yang deliberately gave Su Cheng a cold shoulder and was immersed in handling some factory documents alone.
Feeling that the time was almost up, Director Yang put a revised document into a brown paper bag, looked at Su Cheng and said,
"Chief Su, you have a technical background. You didn't go into a research institute, but you went to all the trouble to be transferred to the security department of the steel rolling mill. What do you want to do?"
Director Yang's tone was very unfriendly, especially after seeing Su Cheng's resume.
He didn't target Su Cheng intentionally, but he went out of his way to get to know the other person.
Knowing the other party's contribution to the black soil, the agricultural equipment developed and the mechanized farming proposed have greatly improved production efficiency.
Even in the research and development of some high-end composite materials, there have been scientific research results, but they have been kept secret for the time being and have not been announced to the public.
These brilliant achievements all prove that Su Cheng is a very scarce scientific and technological talent in China.
But for such a talented person, when it comes to changing careers, he must choose to join the security department of the steel rolling mill as the section chief.
He even asked senior leaders of the Ministry of Industry to endorse him for this position.
From Director Yang's perspective, this is putting the cart before the horse.
As a technician, wouldn't it be good for you to go to a research institute and contribute to the scientific development of the country?
If you insist on coming to the steel rolling mill, how about being a technical guide?
But why do you insist on choosing the security department?
What kind of department is the Security Department? It is a functional department in charge of thousands of people in the factory!
With a technical background, how can you convince the public at such a young age?
What if something goes wrong and affects the production plan of the entire factory?
Due to all the above, Director Yang, who only cares about the factory, naturally does not want to see Su Cheng at this time.
When Su Cheng heard what Director Yang said, he frowned. He was snubbed and reprimanded when they met for the first time. Naturally, he was not in a good mood.
Then he asked,
"Director, does it mean that someone with a technical background deserves to spend his life engaged in R&D?"
"Chief Su, I don't care about the situation but the person."
Director Yang softened his tone slightly and continued,
"You should know how important the functions of the security department are. You are young and have no experience in the security department. How can you convince others? If something goes wrong, thousands of people in the entire factory will be affected."
Seeing that Director Yang's tone had softened, Su Cheng was not too aggressive, but looked at Director Yang seriously and said,
"Director, do you think I am incompetent and cannot lead the team well?"
Director Yang was originally a soldier and said frankly,
"Chief Su, I do have concerns in this regard."
Su Cheng pondered for a moment and said solemnly,
"Director, you don't need to tell me that I know the importance of the security department, but you can't underestimate me just because I'm young. Everything is based on performance. If the team is not well managed by then, I will resign myself without you having to tell me."
"Okay, you said it yourself!"
Director Yang was actually waiting for Su Cheng to say this. If Su Cheng was capable, he wouldn't mind apologizing to Su Cheng in person at that time, but the ugly words had to be said first. If you are not capable, don't blame me.
Embarrassing, as long as it is for the good of the factory, Director Yang thinks it doesn't matter if he becomes a villain.
Director Yang's expression softened and he warned earnestly,
"Comrade Su Cheng, the senior leader personally rejected Chen Jianguo, who was recommended by the factory, and asked you by name to take over the position of chief of the Security Section. I don't know how many pairs of eyes above are staring at the senior leader, just waiting to see
It’s a joke, even if it’s not for the sake of the factory, I still hope that you can speak for the big leaders and not let everyone down.”
Director Yang no longer addressed Su Cheng by his position, but called him "Comrade", which regarded him as a like-minded partner.
Su Cheng also knew about this matter. When he said he wanted to change his job, he was not interviewed by the leaders of the black land. But knowing that Su Cheng had only one relative in his family and that he was already old, he did not stop him and recommended a few people.
He entered a research institute, but was declined by Su Cheng.
After learning that Su Cheng wanted to go to the real power department instead of continuing to engage in research, there were some disturbances. In the end, a chief made the decision and contacted his old comrade-in-arms, the senior leader, to settle the matter.
As for why Su Cheng insists on removing the real power department, it is because he knew that after the change, the entire society was in a state of turmoil.
If you want to live a good life, who can feel at ease if you don’t have some power?
At this time, when Su Cheng saw Factory Director Yang talking about big leaders, he also said seriously,
"Promise not to disappoint the leader."
Later, Director Yang also chatted with Su Cheng about the division of labor in the factory, which departments would deal with the security department, etc. Su Cheng naturally listened.
Su Cheng respected Director Yang, who was not very friendly when they first met.
This is a good leader who is decent, devoted to his work, and sincerely considers the thousands of people in the factory. He can be said to be a public servant of the people.
Such people are not uncommon in this era. They have all experienced that painful era, and they naturally cherish the peace we have today. They work hard so that the people can live a better life.
But not everyone is like Factory Manager Yang, such as Li Weihong, Deputy Factory Manager Li.
Because I hold power in my hands, I have a change in my thinking, and I always think about using power for personal gain.
But it was hard for Su Cheng to tell Director Yang that the most taboo thing for him as a decent man was people who spoke ill of gays behind their backs.
It would be hard for Su Cheng to remind Director Yang that when the wind blows next year, Deputy Director Li will stab you in the back very quickly.
Su Cheng could only take one step at a time, hoping that Director Yang would be strong so that everyone could get through that period safely.
