"He's not working at the factory anymore."
Qin Huairu was a little at a loss. Was this penknife so good that even the leader was excited?
"Not in the factory?"
Bi Jianhua was stunned for a moment. Had they been poached by other factories?
Factory Manager Yang quickly looked at the workshop director, which made the dark-faced director quickly explain,"Director Bi, the situation is like this. Her man is called Li Wuwei, a first-class fitter.
He was still working in the workshop last month, but he retired due to illness. His wife, Qin Huairu, took over the position.
However, Li Wuwei was in the factory today, and he was here to attend the New Year's Day banquet.”
Qin Huairu added,"My man just made this pencil sharpener. He's at the canteen now."?”
"I see! It's good that he's here. Let's go to the cafeteria. I'll talk to him. Lady, I'll take this penknife with me.”
Bi Jianhua picked up the penknife. It was quite heavy, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
Immediately, the leader brought the few of them to the canteen. He was in a good mood.
"Manager Yang, there are capable people in your factory. Don't underestimate the structure of this small box. It's not something that ordinary people can think of.”
When Yang Tiegang heard this, he quickly said,"I've heard of that Li Wuwei. He's a good comrade.”
The black-faced director's face darkened even more. He thought to himself, Director, are you sure you didn't hear wrongly? Did you match the person?
"Director Chen, what is Li Wuwei's illness?”
Bi Jianhua started to care about other people's health.
"Stomach problem. The doctor said he couldn't stand for too long, so he went back to recuperate.”
The dark-faced director had always thought that this illness was unreliable, but the medical record was real!
"Stomach problem? It seems that this comrade has been studying hard and often misses the time to eat!”
Bi Jianhua already had a good impression of that young comrade.
……
"Silly Zhu, you don't have to be polite!”
Li Wuwei was already at the window, and the one inside was Silly Zhu.
"Alright!"
Silly Zhu didn't hesitate. Although he looked down on Li Wuwei's character and treated Sister Qin badly, the tricycle had helped his family.
At this moment, Silly Zhu's hands did not tremble. He steadily scooped up a spoonful of vegetables and placed them into the lunch box. Very quickly, he filled up two portions.
"Li Wuwei, you have to leave some for Sister Qin. Don't eat it all by yourself.”
"What are you thinking? I can't finish two big boxes.”
Li Wuwei had just taken the lunch box and was about to take the noodles when he suddenly saw a few leaders walk in. He knew from their clothes that they were not wearing factory uniforms and their hairstyles were combed back.
"Li Wuwei, come over quickly. The leader is looking for you.”
The dark-faced director quickly shouted,"Don't just eat."
"Looking for me?"
Li Wuwei was stunned for a moment and could only put down the lunch box." Silly Zhu, help me look after it first. I'll be right back."”
"Go! I gave it to Sister Qin before you came."
Silly Zhu was also a little confused, why were the leaders looking for Li Wuwei? Nothing good must have happened!
When Li Wuwei went up to greet them, a few leaders also came up to him. He saw Factory Manager Yang and the younger leaders.
Damn, this is Silly Zhu's benefactor, the leader of the smelting department.
"Li Wuwei, this is Director Bi. He has something to talk to you about.”
Bi Jianhua nodded." Let's talk in the private room. It'll only take a while. I won't delay your meal."”
"Leader, it won't be a delay. I've already made a call. I'm not in a hurry to eat.”
Just as Li Wuwei was wondering why he was looking for him, he suddenly saw the pencil sharpeners in the big leader's hands.
His model was much more advanced than the ordinary pencil sharpeners. It was semi-automatic and its price was more than ten times that of the ordinary version. It had a technological content now.
Soon, they arrived at the private room next door. Bi Jianhua placed the pencil sharpeners on the table and said,""Little comrade, how did you come up with such a penknife?”
"I suddenly thought of it. I usually like to guess blindly. It's just that the things I make are useless. It's just a small toy.”
Li Wuwei did not intend to take credit for this. He had already retired due to illness, so promotion had nothing to do with him.
Moreover, there was a hard rule to promote to a second-grade fitter. One had to work in the factory for five years and pass the assessment.
"Little comrade, don't belittle yourself. This pencil sharpener is very useful. If it is used well, our smelting department can even build a small factory for pencil sharpeners.
Tell me more about the design concept of the pencil sharpeners, and I will report it to the higher-ups tomorrow for discussion.
Once you use the pencil sharpeners, the factory will give you a reward and a certificate.
At the same time, when you recover, there will be a position for you in the rolling mill.”
Bi Jianhua's promise was definitely a joyous occasion for ordinary people. They would get a reward and a job. They would get both money and a job.
Li Wuwei was a little confused. He knew that he couldn't perform too well. It wasn't easy for him to get out of the factory, but he almost got himself back.
"Thank you, thank you, Director Bi! Actually, this is just a simple little tool. You can just take it. I can make another one anytime.”
"That won't do. This is your hard-earned reward. You should be rewarded for your contribution to the group.
Tell me about the design concept and go eat. You can't miss the meal time with stomach problems.”
Bi Jianhua was very satisfied with this young comrade's attitude. He didn't ask for credit. This was a sign of his excellent character.
"Good!"
Li Wuwei had no choice but to wait and see. He could get the rewards first.
He could buy big items again. He could also buy a sewing machine for his wife. When he put the cloth on it, it would become clothes.
Then, he explained the advantages of the pencil sharpeners, disassembled them, and reassembled them.
Only then did everyone know that there was a small box designed below to store wood chips. It was really exquisite.
"Leaders, I'll take my leave first.”
Li Wuwei left, but when he came out of the private room, he found that there were already many workers queuing up to get food.
"Oh no, I didn't succeed."
Li Wuwei was annoyed. Although he had ordered food, he didn't take it out of the window and missed the opportunity.
"Brother, over here."
Qin Huairu's voice rang out. She had already reserved a seat and had also received a lunchbox and white noodles.
"He's here."
He did not think too much about it. It was just that intercepting the workers was probably not a good reward. It was not a big deal.
When they reached their seats, the couple had a good meal. There was no need to save. They would prepare a table full of good dishes at home tonight.
"Virtuous!"
Jia Dongxu was holding a lunchbox in one hand and two white noodles in the other. When he passed by, he couldn't help but break a bite.
He still had to bring the vegetables back to eat with his mother and wife. How could it be enough?
Why was Li Wuwei so lucky, but he had such a bitter life? The Heavenly Dao was unfair.
However, seeing that Li Wuwei was eating here, it seemed that the leaders did not take him seriously.
After a while, Tang Rude came over with a lunch box and asked,"Li Wuwei, what did the leader say to you just now?”
"What else can I say? I just asked about the situation.”
Li Wuwei brushed it off. It was better not to be famous. If he was too outstanding, he would easily be envied.
The lunch today was really good. There were two meat dishes, and the portion that Shazhu gave him was enough. It made him feel nostalgic. He wouldn't have many chances to eat in the canteen in the future.
"Brother, did the leader take the pencil sharpeners away?”
Qin Huairu was still thinking about it. This was a gift for her.
"Yes! He said that he would take it for research. If he thought it was good, he would give me a reward.
I'll make you another one later. It's just a small toy.”
After Li Wuwei was done eating, Qin Huairu finished the rest and quickly washed the lunch boxes. The two of them then left the steel mill.
"Jingru is here and wants to go out for a walk. Why don't we go shopping in the afternoon?”
On New Year's Day, it was very festive everywhere. He also liked to watch the excitement.
"Alright, but don't spoil her too much. She's quite scheming.”
Qin Huairu leaned on her husband's back with a blissful expression. She felt that every day was a good day.
……
In the rolling mill, Bi Jianhua and a group of leaders had also eaten. There were no exceptions. They ate the same as the workers. Two meat and two vegetables. The taste was good.
After the meal, a few senior fitter workers from the factory came to the private room one after another. Yi Zhonghai was one of them.
"Masters, come and take a look at this thing. If we want to mass produce it, will it be difficult?”
Bi Jianhua pointed at the pencil sharpeners on the table. He had already disassembled and reassembled them himself.
This structure was very ingenious, but there were many small parts inside. It was a good opportunity to ask the opinions of a few old masters.
