Chapter 787 Return to the Steel Mill
"What, the chief is here?"
Director Liu quickly stood up and walked quickly outside.
As soon as he went out, he saw Zhou Tian getting out of a green jeep and walking towards him with a smile.
"Director Liu, I haven't seen you for a month. How are you?"
Director Liu looked at Zhou Tian who was coming towards him and smiled: "Well, how can it be bad? Welcome to inspect, Chief. Please come in!"
Director Liu enthusiastically welcomed Zhou Tian into the office, asked a staff member to pour a cup of tea for the two, and sent the staff member away. Director Liu couldn't wait to ask, "Commander, why are you here today?"
After all, it had been a month since the chief had promised him the job, so he naturally hoped that the chief had come this time just to solve this problem.
As expected, when Zhou Tian heard Director Liu's question, he first took a sip of tea, then smiled and said, "Just as Director Liu expected, today I am here to deliver the recruitment quota for Director Liu!"
Zhou Tian said as he took out a document from his backpack and handed it to Director Liu.
"I originally wanted to give Director Liu more quotas, but unfortunately we don't have many quotas this time. Five hundred of them have already been arranged by the higher-ups, leaving only one thousand. Two hundred of them are family members of the institute and cannot be moved. The dean has given me the responsibility of handing over the remaining eight hundred to Changping District, so I can only leave thirty quotas for Director Liu. If there are more, I won't be able to explain it!"
"Thirty places are enough! Thank you, Chief!"
Director Liu was startled by the sudden news from the chief and said excitedly.
Although only 30 out of 800 places can be given to the street office, which seems a little small, it is actually not a small number. There are factories in Qianmen Street, but there may be only a few places that can be provided. Now Zhou Tian has given him 30 places at once, which is beyond his expectations.
What's more, he was very clear about the factory's recruitment process. It was not that the pharmaceutical factory could recruit as many people as it wanted. There were strict restrictions. Otherwise, it would be a mess.
"Okay, Director Liu, these 30 places are now yours. The pharmaceutical factory will start operations at the end of next month at the latest, so try to get the workers to sign up one day in advance. If Director Liu has nothing else to do, I'll leave first!"
Now that all the workers had been given away, Zhou Tian planned to get up and say goodbye. After all, he still had to go to the steel mill to give Li Huaide a quota. He also planned to remind him one last time. If he still refused to reform, he would not care about his affairs anymore.
After all, Li Huaide is not the only one in the entire steel mill who can take care of Zhinan. He has been in the steel mill for so many years, so naturally he will have no shortage of other connections there.
"Commander, I'll see you off!"
When Director Liu heard Zhou Tian's resignation, he did not stop him. He knew that with Zhou Tian's current status, he was very busy and it was impossible for him to have much free time.
After sending Zhou Tian to the door and watching him getting into the car, Director Liu suddenly remembered something and immediately called out to the commander. He then hurried to the car door and saw him roll down the window. Director Liu then said, "Oh, commander, in the middle of this month, the Armed Forces will make unified arrangements for the new recruits to join the army. You must not forget it then!"
"Okay, Director Liu, thank you. If you hadn't told me, I would have really forgotten it! I'm leaving now! You go back now!"
Zhou Tian was suddenly reminded by Director Liu and then he remembered that Zhou Zhinan and Zhou Zhiyi had served in the army. He slapped his forehead, looked at Director Liu gratefully, closed the car window, and drove towards the Red Star Steel Mill.
Ten minutes later, Zhou Tian drove a jeep to the gate of the steel mill. After verifying Zhou Tian's identity and saluted him, the gate of the steel mill was slowly opened.
Following the instructions of the guide from the Security Department, Zhou Tian arrived at the Personnel Department office building. He thanked the guide, got out of the car and walked towards the Personnel Department of the steel rolling mill.
"Hello, comrade, who are you looking for?"
As soon as he entered the Personnel Department, he was stopped by a middle-aged man in work clothes.
"Hello, I'm here to see your Deputy Director Li!"
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Zhou Tian answered with a smile. Suddenly, a picture flashed through his mind. In the picture, a worker was being scolded by Director Xie.
Then he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, as if the two faces suddenly overlapped, and a hint of realization and surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Old Wu, you are Wu Jiefang, Angkor Wu!"
"you know me?"
Wu Jiefang looked at Zhou Tian, who was dressed in noble attire, and asked in confusion. In his memory, he seemed to have never seen such a great man. Could it be that he had seen him before and forgot about it?
While he was still guessing, Zhou Tian came forward and grabbed his shoulders, shouting excitedly: "Brother Wu, have you forgotten, I am Zhou Tian!"
"Zhou Tian?"
Wu Jiefang was instantly shocked by Zhou Tian’s words. He looked at his face carefully and was surprised to find that the face in front of him was exactly the former Xiao Zhou.
"Xiao Zhou, is it really you?"
As he spoke, his eyes blurred, and he hurried forward to hug Zhou Tian tightly, muttering to himself: "Xiao Zhou, where have you been all these years? Why haven't you contacted us? I have been asking your master about you, but your master said it was a secret and didn't let me ask. I didn't expect that I would finally see you again today! Xiao Tian, I missed you so much, Angkor Wu!"
As Wu Jiefang spoke, he patted his back with his hand, tears streaming down his face.
After so many years, he has never forgotten the days when he worked with Zhou Tian.
But at some point, as Zhou Tian's achievements grew higher and higher, they actually went further and further away.
"Okay, Brother Wu, I'm here now, right? It's just right, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Tonight, you can call my master, your master, and Second Senior Brother Liu Yuan, and let's get together!"
Zhou Tian felt Wu Ge's affection for him and couldn't help but feel moved. To be honest, over the years, as his status became higher and higher, the number of friends he could make became fewer and fewer.
Now that he suddenly saw the former Angkor, he was very excited.
"Okay! Okay! Okay! I'll go find your master and brothers right away. Remember, don't run away. We're going to give you a good meal tonight!"
Wu Jiefang let go of Zhou Tian, turned around and ran towards the workshop. After running a few steps, he turned around and shouted at Zhou Tian.
Zhou Tian stretched out his hand and made an OK gesture to him, then watched him run away in the blink of an eye. He couldn't help but smile and shook his head. Sure enough, he was still the stubborn Angkor.
