Chapter 119 Refusal to go to the Ministry of Industry shocked everyone
Li Yang's refusal seemed to be a momentary impulse, but only he knew that the considerations involved were far more than that.
As a reborn person, he knew the future direction better than anyone else present, especially Deputy Minister Liu. In his impression, this big leader was removed from his post during the storm.
If I follow Vice Minister Liu into the Ministry of Industry now, once the storm comes, I will be implicated, which will be a disaster.
Instead of doing this, it is better to temporarily concentrate on technology in the steel rolling mill, wait and see, and then seek better development opportunities.
Of course, this is just one aspect that Li Yang considered.
More importantly, as the most important decision-making department, the Ministry of Industry is staffed by officials who are either rich or powerful, and each of them is a highly respected leader.
As he is a young man under 20 years old, even if he is suddenly parachuted in, he can only be a small clerk running errands. It is simply a pipe dream for him to be able to take charge of things on his own.
With the complicated personnel relationships and bureaucratic style in the Ministry of Industry, anyone can tell you what to do and educate you, and I don't know how many smiles you have to put on every day.
Over time, won't his edges be smoothed out and he become a fawning official?
In comparison, staying in the steel mill is a good choice.
Although the platform here is not as big as that of the Ministry of Industry, I am already a top technical person in the factory. As long as I am willing to work hard, I can realize my ambitions.
It is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Li Yang knows this truth very well.
Seeing that Li Yang had made up his mind, Deputy Minister Liu didn't know what to say anymore. He could only sigh helplessly, but he was also impressed by the young man's vision and courage.
Secretary Zhang, on the other hand, was so happy that he almost jumped up in public. With tears in his eyes, he hugged Li Yang and said in a trembling voice: "Don't worry, the factory will not treat you unfairly! When Mr. Wang from the technical department retires, the position of section chief will belong to you! How about this, I will appoint you as a deputy section chief now?"
"Thank you, Secretary!" Li Yang waved his hands and answered modestly, "I have only been in the factory for a short time. Besides, there are so many respected masters in the factory. How can I stand out from them? Let me keep a low profile and do things when things are ready in the future."
Secretary Zhang was so moved when he heard this that he wiped away his tears and turned to Deputy Minister Liu and said, "Deputy Minister Liu, look how sensible this child is! He is so young, but he has a sense of the overall situation. I think he can make a name for himself wherever he goes!"
"Yes, a rare talent!" Deputy Minister Liu nodded repeatedly, showing great favor for Li Yang.
As he was talking, Director Wang suddenly came forward and lowered his voice to suggest: "Secretary Zhang, how about this? You can compile a copy of the design drawings that Li Yang drew and send them to us. Our factory would also like to learn from them and see if we can modify the new machine to improve its efficiency."
"That's easy!" Secretary Zhang agreed generously. "But it's not enough to just have the blueprints. If you want to learn the essence, you have to consult Li Yang himself. How about this, you can ask all the technicians in your factory to come and learn from Xiao Li for a period of time. I promise that he will teach me everything he knows and will not keep anything to himself!"
"That's great!" Director Wang was overjoyed, nodding and bowing, "Then I'll pick a few top students when I go back, and I'll have to trouble Engineer Li to teach them well!"
Li Yang, who was standing by, couldn't help but smile bitterly as he watched the two old leaders negotiate a deal.
It was obvious that they were begging him for the benefit of their factory. As a worker, he really had no choice.
Deputy Minister Liu also felt something was wrong when he saw this, so he coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Alright, alright, stop scheming here, let Li Yang explain all those drawings to me later, maybe the Ministry of Industry can come up with some new ideas!"
When they heard that the Ministry of Industry also wanted to get involved, Secretary Zhang and Director Wang looked at each other and just shut up.
So, under the leadership of Secretary Zhang, the group marched to the technical department in a mighty manner.
Li Yang personally lifted the curtain covering the drawings and presented the design drafts to everyone.
The paper was densely covered with various mechanical structures and transformation plans, with precise lines and tricky angles, which made people dazzled just by looking at them.
"Oh my God, you designed all this by yourself?" Deputy Minister Liu widened his eyes and looked at Li Yang in disbelief. "This creativity and this idea, I'm afraid even the old experts around me may not be able to come up with it!"
Everyone present was stunned. Even the most picky old engineer couldn't help but nod and exclaim in amazement.
Director Wang was even more shocked. He grabbed the drawings and started begging, "Xiao Li, these plans are great! You must take some time to tell us about them. They are very inspiring for the improvement of our machinery factory!"
Li Yang smiled slightly, but shook his head modestly: "Director Wang, these are some of my ideas when I just started. There are inevitably omissions and shortcomings. But if you are really interested, you can ask your technicians to come and discuss and learn from each other. I believe that with the wisdom of everyone, we can create a new world!"
After hearing this, Director Wang's eyes lit up with excitement, and he nodded and bowed repeatedly, wishing he could invite Li Yang back to the machinery factory immediately.
Fortunately, Deputy Minister Liu stopped him in time and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'll have someone send you a set of copies later. But, this little Li is already half the backbone of our steel mill, you have to let him finish his work here first, there will be plenty of opportunities to learn in the future!"
Director Wang could only respond angrily, but he didn't dare to complain at all.
Deputy Minister Liu then instructed Secretary Zhang: "Xiao Zhang, please select a few representative drawings and send them to the Ministry of Industry as soon as possible. We will also study them carefully to see if we can learn something from them."
Secretary Zhang nodded quickly and agreed very happily.
Li Yang on the side remained calm, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
It seems that these old men were completely impressed by their own designs.
"How about we talk while we eat? It's about time now, I'll treat you!"
Just then, Secretary Zhang spoke.
After saying that, without waiting for everyone to react, he waved his hand and shouted, "Let's go to the cafeteria!"
So, the group of people walked towards the cafeteria in a mighty manner. The two leaders, Zhang and Yang, stood on the left and right, protecting Li Yang in the middle, fearing that someone else would snatch him away.
