Chapter 1515: Cutting in Line

Municipal Industrial Bureau

A breeze blew, cicadas chirped, and the earth was like a furnace radiating heat, making the leaves curl up from the heat.

Cao Weiguo, who returned from fishing outside, saw two familiar figures in the corridor and walked over to call out: "Tong Zhi."

Tong Zhi turned around and looked at Cao Weiguo in surprise: "Division Chief Cao!"

Director Zhou, who was standing beside Tong Zhi, walked toward Cao Weiguo in surprise: "Division Chief Cao, long time no see. You are getting more and more spirited."

Cao Weiguo smiled: "Director Zhou, your complexion is also very good. Come to my office and sit down."

Director Zhou gave Tong Zhi a look. Tong Zhi understood and said with a depressed expression: "Division Chief Cao, can you please do me a favor? We want to see Division Chief Cheng of the Planning Division."

Cao Weiguo: "See Division Chief Cheng? Is he not in the bureau?"

Tong Zhi said with a bitter face: "Division Chief Cheng is in the bureau, but there are too many people who want to see him. Director Zhou and I have been waiting from morning until now, but the clerk under Division Chief Cheng said that there are still over a dozen people in front of us."

Cao Weiguo joked: "Hi, I understand. You want to cut in line, right."

Director Zhou said awkwardly: "Division Chief Cao, I'm not afraid of your laughter, our factory has encountered difficulties. If we can't get the indicators from the Planning Division, I'm afraid our factory's production tasks for this quarter can't be completed."

Tong Zhi pleaded: "Division Chief Cao, please help."

Cao Weiguo thought for a while and said: "Then you follow me back to the office. I'll call Division Chief Cheng and ask if it's convenient for him."

Cutting in line can be done, but it must be done secretly. Going to cut in line openly is looking for trouble.

"Hello, Brother Cheng, it's me, Weiguo. It's like this, Director Zhou from the Heavy Machinery Factory is here with me..."

After returning to the office, Cao Weiguo greeted Director Zhou and Tong Zhi to sit down, then walked to the desk and dialed Division Chief Cheng's phone. After a few words, Director Zhou and Tong Zhi showed joy, and thanked him repeatedly after Cao Weiguo hung up the phone.

A few minutes later, the busy Division Chief Cheng walked into Cao Weiguo's office with a folder.

Cao Weiguo welcomed him warmly: "Brother Cheng, please sit down. Come and taste the tea I just got, authentic Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao."

Director Zhou and Tong Zhi hurriedly stood up to greet him: "Division Chief Cheng."

Division Chief Cheng smiled and said: "Sit, sit. Old Zhou, Technician Tong, I know your needs, but you must also understand our difficulties. You should also know about our diplomatic relations with the Soviet side. The equipment you need, I need to apply and report to the higher-level leaders, and also communicate with the Soviet side. Every step takes time."

Tong Zhi said anxiously: "Division Chief Cheng, without that set of high-precision gear hobbing machines, it is difficult for us to complete the tasks assigned by the higher-level leaders. If the machines can't be in place, our construction period will inevitably be extended."

Division Chief Cheng said with a straight face: "Technician Tong, I know you are having a hard time, but the country is also having a hard time, and the country's industrial development is even harder. But if we have difficulties, we overcome them. Do we stop moving forward because of difficulties? We must carry forward the spirit of meeting difficulties head-on and cannot be defeated by difficulties."

Director Zhou hurriedly said: "Division Chief Cheng, I represent all the employees of our factory to express our stance. We will definitely carry forward the spirit of hard work, not fearing difficulties, and striving forward. We have the determination to overcome difficulties and complete the tasks."

Division Chief Cheng nodded: "Director Zhou, your Heavy Machinery Factory's tasks are very arduous. I understand your mood at this time, and I will also try my best to support your work. The indicators you applied for have passed here, and I will also report to the higher-level leaders. You go back and wait for news."

Director Zhou was overjoyed when he heard this. He came here for this sentence from Division Chief Cheng. ===== CHAPTER 1517 =====
