Chapter 69 Town
All of a sudden, a name called "Town" came into the sight of interested people all over the world.

Except for the flower-growing family’s superiors and familiar scientists, no one knew that this “township” was Yang Zhenyu.

Even Yang Zhenyu himself doesn’t know when this name will be decrypted.

The only thing directly related to Yang Zhenyu is his salary.

After this incident, he successfully obtained the certificate of Level 5 engineer. From then on, Yang Zhenyu's salary was based on the Level 5 salary of 178, not including various allowances and benefits.

The first thing to do after returning is still to report to the factory.

After the secondment is over, his personnel relationship is still with the factory, so he must report back to the factory when he returns at this time.

"Congratulations, Engineer Yang, for being promoted to Level 5 engineer so quickly." Director Yang was very happy to see Yang Zhenyu.

The reason is simple. For a non-key factory like theirs to have a Level 5 engineer is a big deal.

You should know that many key large factories, such as some military industrial units, generally have chief engineers at level 2, and some are even at level 3, while more important units have level 1 engineers as chief engineers.

But the department still hopes to retain talents to avoid them being poached by others.

"It's a bit inappropriate. I'm still too young. I think I'd better wait for two years until I have more practical experience. What do you think?" Yang Zhenyu thought about it and decided to reject the offer.

"I am forced to do this. There is nothing I can do." Yang Zhenyu said helplessly.

As the person in charge of the project, your level must not be too low. After all, you have to lead so many talents to do their work.

Most of the local factories have chief engineers at level 5 or 6, while for factories directly under the ministry, such as the steel rolling mill, level 5 is also high enough to be the chief engineer.

It could have been higher, but Yang Zhenyu refused.

"I've guessed you would say that. What the department means is that if you don't want to be the chief engineer, then you can just take a deputy position first. The factory will set up an Engineering and Technology Department, which will have two technical sections under it. These can be adjusted. After all, I don't know much about technology, so this area will be completely left to you." Director Yang took out the second plan, which had been discussed before.

Director Yang knew about the secret research that Yang Zhenyu was engaged in, but he did not know the specific content of the research. The bigwigs in the department had some rumors, but they were not very detailed.

"After research by the factory and reporting to the department, it was decided to appoint you as the chief engineer of our steel rolling mill to lead all technical-related work in the entire factory. What do you think?" said Director Yang.

If you are too young and hold a high position, it is easy to get into trouble. It is better to keep a low profile.

"This..." Yang Zhenyu was a little confused. Why did he have to be given the position of chief engineer?
"Okay, this matter is settled. I will talk to the department and they will report it directly." Director Yang waved his hand and said.

"Okay then." Yang Zhenyu could only nod in agreement.

"Don't feel pressured. I have no choice. You are the only engineer in our factory who is a cadre. Although the other two technical section chiefs are also engineers, they barely passed the level 8 assessment. In that era, there were really few engineers, so they barely managed to stay in the factory. Now that you are here, we have to formalize it." Director Yang said with a bitter face. There are about 9 engineers in the country now, most of whom are level 5 or level 3. There are still very few level engineers. This cannot be achieved in a short period of time. As for level and above, there are very few, so the state really treats these engineers well.

However, although engineers are paid well, not all of them have a cadre position.

If anyone can do it, wouldn’t that be chaos?

The Third Steel Rolling Mill is a department-level plant directly under the Ministry of Metallurgy, and the deputy chief engineer also enjoys the treatment of a deputy department-level officer. However, this does not mean that the deputy chief engineer is a deputy department-level officer, but it is just the treatment.

Including Yang Zhenyu, after accepting the position of deputy chief engineer, he only enjoyed the benefits, and his salary was still that of a level 5 engineer, while his administrative level was still that of a level 16 section chief.

"Okay, then I will integrate the engineering and technology department and reallocate the corresponding functions. Those who should repair machines will continue to repair machines, and those who should carry out innovative drawings will continue to carry out innovative drawings." Yang Zhenyu nodded and said.

"Okay then. I'll leave it to you." Director Yang said seriously.

"By the way, Director, have you gained anything during this period?" Yang Zhenyu asked.

"Hey, speaking of this, we have gained a lot. Our factory has received quite a few orders. Your three departments have completed the splitting and drawing of the drawings, and there are no problems with the manufactured parts. Our factory may have to expand once. In addition, the problems with drilling rigs and water pumps have also been solved. A machinery factory was approved, but the water pump factory was not retained. I plan to transfer the second department to the machinery factory. After all, the machines still need maintenance." Director Yang said happily.

"That's good. At least our work wasn't in vain." Yang Zhenyu was happy when he heard what Director Yang said. As long as the factory could gain something, it would be great.

"That's right. Your information was very timely this time. You don't know that once this task came, the people at the Second Steel Plant were extremely envious. No one is as successful as you. Our plant was able to take on so many projects. For this, the Ministry approved us to open two more workshops and recruit 1,000 more people."

When talking about this, Director Yang was filled with excitement and pride. He felt that this was the greatest achievement of his life, and he showed off in front of several factory directors.

"Haha, it's a good thing that our factory is expanding its recruitment. Together with the branch factories, we have more than 10,000 people in our factory." Yang Zhenyu said.

"That's right. In the past few months, the machinery factory has been almost completed and we are just waiting for the machines to arrive. However, these machines are not easy to get and they are almost entirely imported. This is our difficulty." Director Yang nodded.

"There is nothing we can do about this. Our industrial base is relatively poor, and many of our equipment is imported. The West has also imposed a technological blockade on us. Even if they do sell us equipment, they are only willing to sell us old equipment. If we want to conduct independent research and development, it is impossible to meet the needs of the entire country all at once. We can only do it step by step." Yang Zhenyu nodded.

"By the way, Engineer Yang, do you have any projects in the field of mechanical manufacturing?" Director Yang suddenly turned his gaze to Yang Zhenyu.

"No, although the machine tool looks simple, many things require a lot of verification. Even if I can design it, I can't keep up with the technology. This needs to be done slowly." Yang Zhenyu shook his head and said.
