Chapter 621 Research and Development
Back at the Siheyuan, Chu Tian also became the focus. The neighbors praised him highly, and the children surrounded him with admiration in their eyes, wanting to hear him tell stories about his novel inventions. However, amid all the praise, Liu Haizhong felt unhappy. Liu Haizhong has always called himself the "Second Uncle" of the Siheyuan, and he loves to show off his little power and status in the factory. He thought he was a well-known figure in the Siheyuan, but Chu Tian's sudden appearance stole all the limelight. Seeing Chu Tian surrounded by people and enjoying endless glory, Liu Haizhong's jealousy grew stronger and stronger. "Humph, it's just a broken machine, what's the big deal!" Liu Haizhong muttered while wiping his precious bicycle in his yard. His wife Wang Meilan advised, "Chu Tian is really capable, so stop talking nonsense." "What do you know!" Liu Haizhong interrupted her impatiently, "He is a newcomer, why is he so prominent?" From then on, Liu Haizhong began to secretly think about how to make trouble for Chu Tian. He first spread rumors in the courtyard, saying that Chu Tian's new machine was actually nothing great, and he was praised only by luck and pleasing the leaders. "Think about it, he is just a young man, how capable can he be? He must have taken a crooked path." Liu Haizhong said to the neighbors. At first, some people were skeptical, but under his constant exaggeration, some neighbors who did not know the truth also began to doubt Chu Tian. In the factory, Liu Haizhong was not idle either. He used his little power in the workshop to deliberately arrange some tedious and laborious work for Chu Tian, hoping that he would have no time to continue research and development. Once, when assigning work tasks in the workshop, Liu Haizhong assigned the dirtiest and most tiring waste cleaning work to Chu Tian, and even said, "Chu Tian, you are young and strong, do more work to exercise yourself." Chu Tian knew Liu Haizhong's intention, but he didn't care and just accepted the task silently. He used his lunch break and after get off work time to complete the cleaning work overtime, without affecting his research and development progress at all. Seeing that this trick didn't work, Liu Haizhong came up with a more sinister trick. He knew that Chu Tian was studying new technical improvement plans, so he sneaked in when Chu Tian was not in the dormitory and hid his design drawings and some important data. Chu Tian was very anxious when he found that the data was missing. These data were collected and sorted by him with a lot of effort. Without them, the research and development work would stagnate. Chu Tian began to look for the data everywhere. He carefully recalled the last time he saw the data, and suddenly remembered that when he left the dormitory, he seemed to see Liu Haizhong sneaking around. He immediately became suspicious, but there was no solid evidence. So, Chu Tian decided to keep quiet and secretly observe Liu Haizhong's every move. A few days later, Liu Haizhong thought his plan had succeeded, so he relaxed his vigilance. In his house, he proudly took out Chu Tian's information and prepared to destroy it. Just when he was about to burn the information, Chu Tian and several neighbors suddenly broke in. "Liu Haizhong, what are you doing?" Chu Tian asked coldly. Liu Haizhong was startled by this sudden scene, and the information in his hand almost fell to the ground. "I... I didn't do anything." He stammered in response. "You still want to quibble?" Chu Tian stepped forward and snatched the information from his hand. "These are all my things, why did you steal them?" Liu Haizhong's face was pale and speechless. The neighbors around saw this scene and blamed Liu Haizhong. "Second uncle, how could you do such a thing?" "That's right, it's too unkind!" Seeing that the matter was exposed, Liu Haizhong had to admit what he had done. He lowered his head and whispered, "I... I'm just jealous of Chu Tian. I feel uncomfortable seeing him being so successful." Chu Tian looked at Liu Haizhong, sighed and said, "Uncle Liu, I have always respected you. If you have any ideas, you can tell me directly. There is no need to use such means." After this incident, Liu Haizhong's reputation in Siheyuan plummeted. He also realized his mistake and felt very regretful. He took the initiative to find Chu Tian and apologized to him: "Chu Tian, I was wrong. I shouldn't be jealous of you, let alone sabotage. You are a big shot, please forgive me this time." Chu Tian looked at Liu Haizhong's sincere look and smiled and said, "Uncle Liu, let the past be the past. Just don't do this again in the future." Since then, Liu Haizhong has completely changed his attitude towards Chu Tian. He is no longer jealous of Chu Tian, but often asks him for advice on some work issues. And Chu Tian does not hold grudges and patiently answers his questions. Siheyuan has restored its former harmony, and Chu Tian continues to stride forward on his road of innovation and make greater contributions to the development of the steel rolling mill. As time went by, Chu Tian's story spread more and more widely in factories and courtyards, becoming a legend in people's hearts that inspired them to keep making progress.
Adventures on a Business Trip to Other Provinces: Chu Tian's Growth Journey Since Chu Tian greatly improved the production efficiency of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill with the new machine, he has become the "star employee" of the factory. Director Yang thinks highly of him and often praises Chu Tian in front of everyone, saying that he is the rising star of the factory and will definitely bring greater development to the factory in the future. One day, Director Yang called Chu Tian to his office, with a kind smile on his face, and said: "Chu Tian, I have an important task for you. Our factory is preparing to cooperate with a large enterprise in another province. I plan to take you on a business trip to discuss cooperation matters with the other party, and visit their factory by the way to learn advanced technology and management experience. What do you think?" Chu Tian was excited and nervous after hearing this. This was his first time to go out for a long time, and he was still following the factory director to discuss such an important matter as cooperation.
He nodded quickly and said, "Thank you for your trust, Director. I will do my best!" In this way, Chu Tian and Director Yang boarded the train to another province. Along the way, Director Yang and Chu Tian talked about the development plan of the factory and the importance of this cooperation. Chu Tian listened carefully and put forward his own opinions from time to time, which made Director Yang more satisfied with him.
After arriving at the destination, they first went to the cooperative enterprise. The reception staff was very enthusiastic and took them to visit various production links of the factory. Chu Tian carefully observed while visiting and found that this company really had a lot to learn in terms of automated production.
