"Oh, I regret it."

This is the emotion Wang Weilong expressed.

When they said this, the three of them were standing under the tree outside the data room, each holding a cigarette and sucking mist. The data room is one of the rare places for smoking in the entire Metallurgical Bureau. When the old smokers couldn't hold it in, they would run outside to smoke and chat. Feng Xiaochen's smoking addiction was left by his previous body, and it was not particularly strong. However, since he met Wang Weilong and Cheng Xiaofeng, they were often pulled out to smoke together, and gradually they became a little used to it.

"Brother, I don't agree with young people working in the agency too early." After Wang Weilong sighed, he began to tell Feng Xiaochen about his life experience. "There are too many rules in the agency. You have to be qualified for everything you do and balance the relationships in all aspects. Don't mention young people like you who have no background, even Lao Cheng and I are a little bit of power when we are down there, right? At least, I was in my original factory, and even the factory manager had to consider it. When I got here, it was nothing!"

"We are just a bullshit." Cheng Xiaofeng smiled, "A deputy department level in an enterprise is not a bullshit here, what else can it be? Not to mention how many deputy ministerial level and bureau level in our bureau, those who come to do business, who are not cadres from provincial departments, or are the first and second leaders in the enterprise, wouldn't we have to do things with our tails?"

"It doesn't matter if you have a tail between them. My tail is short anyway." Wang Weilong said, "But you have to be a little scientific when doing things? There is not much amount of technical funds, and you have to be distributed to each unit like sprinkling pepper. No one is happy without any distinction, and in the end no one can do anything. How many times have I mentioned to our director? It is recommended that the bureau use funds in a concentrated manner and use good steel on the blade. What's the result?"

"You are just a big mouth, and sooner or later you will suffer losses in this mouth." Cheng Xiaofeng reminded Wang Weilong. There are forty or fifty seconded cadres in the Metallurgical Bureau, and everyone has different relationships. Wang Weilong and Cheng Xiaofeng often work as translators in the information room. I don't know whether it is to be sympathetic or sympathetic. In short, the relationship is closer than others, so they talk to each other casually.

After saying that Wang Weilong, Cheng Xiaofeng asked Feng Xiaochen again: "Xiaofeng, I think you have been checking information about the open-pit mines these days. Why? Director Luo is more interested in this issue?"

This topic is a bit sensitive. In fact, Tian Wenjian told Feng Xiaochen to check all the information about mining machinery, but Feng Xiaochen himself guessed Luo Xiangfei's intention, so he focused on the open-pit mine. If he revealed that Luo Xiangfei was interested in the open-pit mine and later confirmed that it was indeed the case, it would at least leave Luo Xiangfei with a bad voice. In fact, this matter was not said by Feng Xiaochen himself, but by Cheng Xiaofeng.

Thinking of this, Feng Xiaochen concealed and said, "I haven't heard of this. Director Luo just asked me to check the information about mining machinery. It may be because I think I have nothing to do all day long and have found something for me. When I was flipping through the information, I happened to see that the information about the open-pit mine was quite interesting, so I have been focusing on this aspect these days. After reading these information, I have to fill in other contents, otherwise the leader will say that I am lazy."

"Actually, open-pit mines should be a key point!" Wang Weilong said, "Our open-pit mine mining has been mechanized abroad. One worker plus a car does more work than one hundred of our workers. Everyone says that four modernizations are needed. I think open-pit mines should be modernized the most."

"Then which aspect should you not be modernized?" Cheng Xiaofeng retorted, "Mining needs modernization, what about transportation? What about smelting? What about molding? I know you have always been thinking about your 120-ton electric wheel dump truck. Now that industrial experiments cannot be done, you can stay here. It is better to translate a few copies of materials and realize the modernization of your home in advance."

Cheng Xiaofeng said something like pouring a scoop of cold water on Wang Weilong, which made him wilted suddenly. He took a few sips of smoke, and then said depressedly: "Oh, Old Cheng, you are right. I'm worried about eating carrots, why do you care about this matter!"

Then, the two of them talked about the gossip in the courtyard, commenting on which leader had a tough style and which cadre had real skills. They also listed jokes such as the Four Old Horses, Four New Horses, Four Black Horses, and Four Hus, which opened Feng Xiaochen's eyes. According to these two people, Luo Xiangfei is the most practical leader in the courtyard. He is a technical cadre, has a rigorous work style, and also loves his subordinates. He is a rare good leader. Feng Xiaochen knew that he had the label of Luo Xiangfei, and those who knew a little about the situation thought he was Luo Xiangfei's confidant, so Wang and Cheng praised Luo Xiangfei in front of him, and he could only half believe and half doubt, and it was inconvenient to pursue the authenticity of these words.

Except for the topic of Luo Xiangfei, Wang Weilong and Cheng Xiaofeng are quite caring for Feng Xiaochen, the young man. They both became family members and were transferred to the capital. Their wives and children stayed in their hometowns. They would not be too wronged. They would set up a kerosene stove to stew some meat and other things every now and then. Every now and then, they would call Feng Xiaochen up to give him a chance to have a tooth sacrifice.

Feng Xiaochen is very young, but his mental age is not so young, so he will naturally not be so ignorant and eat for nothing. When he left Nanjiang, He Xuezhen brought him 200 yuan and asked him to eat better outside. So he often went to the black market to buy some meat, with the excuse to borrow Wang Weilong and his friends for use, but in fact he was to work with them to improve the food.

Zeng Yongliang, who was in the dormitory with Feng Xiaochen, sometimes joined their gatherings, but Zeng Yongliang was a former administrative cadre and was somewhat incompatible with technical cadres like Wang Weilong and Cheng Xiaofeng. When he joined, everyone could only talk about gossip, and rarely did it involve professionalism.

As the days passed, Feng Xiaochen gradually knew everyone else in the courtyard. Even if everyone could call him his name, at least when they met in the corridor, people would not mistakenly think that he was an outsider who came from where to do business. The work of the Metallurgical Bureau was very complicated, and everyone was busy. In comparison, Feng Xiaochen was the most free and easy one. He had no specific position, so there was no daily matter to deal with. Since Tian Wenjian assigned him a task half a month ago, he had never come to him again, let alone ask for progress. It seemed that Feng Xiaochen had a self-destructive life. Fortunately, Feng Xiaochen was a person who was used to work in his previous life. No one was staring at him, and he also looked up information diligently. The notebook was already full of two, and he had a clearer outline about the development of mining machinery.

"Sister Zhang, do we have two magazines, "Mining_Magazine" and "Mining_Engineering"?"

On that day, after browsing the catalog card cabinet in the information room, Feng Xiaochen asked Zhang Haiju in a regretful tone.

"Isn't it in the directory?" Zhang Haiju asked.

"No, I've checked it several times." Feng Xiaochen said.

"Then there is nothing." Zhang Haiju said. Her education level is not high, and her English level is limited to being able to recognize the title or journal in English. After she usually puts the received journal in the database, she will not read it again. She can't say what information is in the library. Since Feng Xiaochen has checked the card cabinet but has not found it, it is naturally not, and she has no choice.

"What a pity." Feng Xiaochen sighed, "I saw in other documents that there was a review of the development of foreign mining machinery in the second issue of "Mining_Magazine" last year. It was written by a senior American industry insider. The content is very comprehensive and has some unique insights. If you can find it, it will definitely be very inspiring to the leader."

"If this is the case, you can write a report and ask the leader to approve when the Economic Commission Information Office will purchase information uniformly and ask them to buy a copy." Zhang Haiju said.

Feng Xiaochen asked: "How long will this cycle last?"

Zhang Haiju shook her head and said, "This is hard to say. If it happens to be a coincidence, they will go to purchase it, and they may buy it in two or three months. If it is not a coincidence, it will be impossible to buy it in one or two years. The book that Qin Gong wanted to buy in the Mechanical Department has been reporting for more than two years. It hasn't been bought back yet, so Qin Gong is almost retired."

"Uh... then forget it." Feng Xiaochen retreated. He really missed the era of Internet now. As long as he orders a few online resources, he can sit in the office and read all kinds of information at any time. He doesn't need to find a needle in a haystack like now. The most important thing is that it would be fine if the needles were all in this sea, but the needle he wanted to catch could not be retrieved in the sea at his door, which was the most depressing thing.

"Little comrade, do you want to check "Mining_Magazine"?"

A researcher wearing reading glasses and gray hair came over to return the book. He happened to hear the conversation between Feng Xiaochen and Zhang Haiju and asked casually. Feng Xiaochen had met him twice in the information room and knew that he was a professor in a university, his surname was Li, and he went to the information room of the Metallurgical Bureau to check the information.

"Professor Li, why, does your school have this magazine?" Feng Xiaochen was happy. Since the other party could come to them to check the information, could he also go to the other party to check the information? The journals in the Metallurgical Bureau Information Office are not complete, so maybe there will be this journal elsewhere, so it is OK to borrow it to take a look.
