Chapter 157 Talking on paper

As soon as he went to work the next day, Feng Xiaochen came to Luo Xiangfei's office, and it was Tian Wenjian who opened the door for him. As soon as the two met, they felt a little unnatural. Feng Xiaochen reacted first and said with a smile: "Secretary Tian, ​​it's time to call you Director Tian in the future. Congratulations."

Tian Wenjian also squeezed out a smile and said, "Look at what you said, Xiao Feng, your deputy director is about to be appointed to come out? It's really not simple. I just started working when I was at your age."

"Director Tian, ​​I heard that the Ministry of Metallurgy asked you to go by name, and they were eager to seek talent."

"Oh, actually, I hope to receive guidance for a few more years with Director Luo. Xiao Feng, I really envy you. Being able to go to the new department with Director Luo must have a bright future."

"That's because Director Luo is worried about me. Unlike Director Tian, ​​he has already started his army and can stand alone..."

The two of them praised each other for a few words. Tian Wenjian pointed to the room and said, "Director Luo has arrived. You can go in. Oh, I am so ashamed. Some things should be handled by me, but Director Luo asked me to report them first. Thank you for your hard work on the matter here."

"This is what it should be. I will go to the Ministry of Metallurgy to bother Director Tian. Oh no, I guess Director Tian was already Director Tian at that time. Don't not know me, a soldier..."

"Xiao Feng...ah, I really can't tell you, so I'll accept your good words."

Tian Wenjian was confused by Feng Xiaochen's good words, but he didn't know how to respond, so he could only smile and let Feng Xiaochen into the office. He went to the Metallurgy Department instead of following Luo Xiangfei to reinstall the office. This was the result of Luo Xiangfei and Tian Wenjian's discussion. Of course, Tian Wenjian said that he wanted to follow Luo Xiangfei away, but he wanted to change the department in his heart so that he could show his skills.

Working under the original leader has both advantages and disadvantages, which depends on the leader's style. If you meet those leaders who like to engage in nepotism, then you may have more opportunities for promotion as the leader's confidant. But if you meet a leader who is not favored, the more familiar the relationship, the more strict the leader will have to you. Even if you make the same achievements as others, the leader will also raise others higher and deliberately lower your performance.

Luo Xiangfei is the leader who is behind. Tian Wenjian knew that if he followed Luo Xiangfei to the Heavy Equipment Office to be a deputy director, he would definitely become the one who works the most and receives the least praise. Instead of this, he might as well go to the Ministry of Metallurgy. Over the years, he has been with Luo Xiangfei and has accumulated a lot of connections in the metallurgy system. Several leaders of the Ministry of Metallurgy have a good opinion of him, and their future should be relatively bright.

Although he has this mentality, Tian Wenjian still feels sour when he sees Feng Xiaochen jumping up and down and running errands for Luo Xiang. This may be what people call "Stockholm Syndrome".

Feng Xiaochen didn't have the heart to understand Tian Wenjian's secondary school psychology. He walked into Luo Xiangfei's office and reported to Luo Xiangfei: "Director Luo, I have got the car. Can we go out to visit those people today?"

"It's quite efficient!" Luo Xiangfei said in surprise.

Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, "Actually it's simple. I asked Minister Meng for help and borrowed a car from Linbei Heavy Machinery's procurement station in Beijing. I told them that it was an old subordinate of Minister Meng who wanted to use a car. I remember you also said that Minister Meng was your old leader."

"Haha, Minister Meng is indeed my old leader, and he has led me indirectly." Luo Xiangfei said, and then asked: "Then is the driver also from Linbei Heavy Machinery?"

Feng Xiaochen took out the freshly baked temporary license from his pocket and said, "How about I be a driver for Director Luo? Don't think that I'm poor in my skills, I can ensure driving safety."

"It's totally OK! Xiao Feng, I'm really a little curious. What's wrong with you in this world that you, Xiao Feng, don't know." Luo Xiangfei said half-jokingly. He was not too surprised about Feng Xiaochen's ability to drive. In his opinion, it is normal for a young man like Feng Xiaochen who is a flexible mind and dares to think and do it to find opportunities to secretly learn to drive.

Feng Xiaochen used the phone number in Luo Xiangfei's office to contact several people who Luo Xiangfei had previously met and agreed to visit him. Some of them were very familiar with Luo Xiangfei. When they heard that Luo Xiangfei was going to visit, they all expressed their welcome with fear and fear. Some also claimed that if Director Luo was busy with work, they could go to the Metallurgy Bureau to receive instructions. Some of them were not familiar with Luo Xiangfei. When they heard Feng Xiaochen's request, they were all confused and said in a daze that they had time and welcomed their leaders to inspect at any time.

The first person Feng Xiaochen made an appointment was a research office director of the Chemical Design Institute under the Ministry of Chemical Engineering, named Wu Shican. When Feng Xiaochen told him the names of the Metallurgical Bureau and Luo Xiangfei, he was a little surprised and said that he had indeed met Director Luo, but he didn't know what Director Luo had to do to him. Of course, Feng Xiaochen would not tell this matter in detail on the phone, which was also discussed with Luo Xiangfei. It is more appropriate to have a face-to-face conversation about recruiting soldiers and horses. If you can't explain it clearly on the phone, the other party will refuse directly, and if you want to convince the other party, it will take more verbal treatment.

"Director Luo, Wu Shican said he is not familiar with you, why did you like him?"

On the way to the Chemical Design Institute, Feng Xiaochen asked Luo Xiangfei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, while driving.

"He is indeed not familiar with me, but I know him very well." Luo Xiangfei said with a smile, "I have heard of his two reports, and later asked Xiaotian to help me investigate his situation. He is a college student who stayed in the Soviet Union and studied chemical engineering. After returning to China, he has been working in the Chemical Design Institute. He participated in the design of the Oriental Red Oil Refinery, and later participated in the development of a complete set of 110,000 tons of ethylene equipment organized by the State Planning Commission. The project was ultimately unsuccessful, but a group of talents in chemical equipment were trained.

Wu Shican is a man who loves to study. He is proficient in Russian, English and Japanese. He has a very good understanding of the cutting-edge international chemical equipment technology and has a broad vision. He gave a report on the development of the large chemical industry at a meeting organized by the Economic Commission. It not only talked about the research and development rules of chemical equipment, but also extended to the research and development rules of the entire major equipment industry. Such a talent is just right for us to be the Planning Director of our Reinstallation Office."

"When were you talking about?" Feng Xiaochen asked.

"It should be four years ago." Luo Xiangfei recalled, "At that time, everyone was talking about how to buy a modernization from abroad, but Wu Shican proposed that buying equipment alone would not be able to build a modernization, and China must form its own equipment manufacturing capabilities. He also proposed a three-step strategy for equipment manufacturing, which is completely consistent with the major equipment research and development ideas recently proposed by the central leaders."

"Is that so? Then I can't wait to meet this amazing man." Feng Xiaochen said.

The jeep drove straight into the yard of the Chemical Design Institute. Feng Xiaochen asked someone for some information and asked Wu Shican's office. He led Luo Xiang into the office building, found the room he had asked for, and knocked on the door.

"Who, please come in!" shouted the person in the room.

Feng Xiaochen pushed open the door, then turned his body sideways and asked Luo Xiangfei to enter the door first, and he followed Luo Xiangfei and walked in.

This is the director's office of the research office, and there is only one person in the room. Seeing Luo Xiangfei and Feng Xiaochen enter the door, the man quickly got up, identified it for a while, then rushed forward, stretched out his hands, and said, "It's Director Luo? I'm Wu Shican. I'm so embarrassed. I'll ask you to come to the door in person. Please sit down."

Luo Xiangfei shook hands with Wu Shican and introduced Feng Xiaochen to him, but did not mention Feng Xiaochen's title of deputy director, but only said that he was his temporary secretary and temporary driver. Wu Shican did not look down on Feng Xiaochen because of these two "temporary". He shook hands with Feng Xiaochen, then called the two to sit down, and then rushed to get the thermos bottle and prepare to pour water for the two.

"Director Wu, I'll do it, you talk to Director Luo."

Feng Xiaochen reached out to grab the thermos bottle from Wu Shican. Wu Shican gave in a moment and handed the thermos bottle to Feng Xiaochen. He sat down opposite Luo Xiangfei, rubbed his hands as if he wanted to say a few greetings, but he didn't know where to start.

"Director Wu, you probably don't remember me?" Luo Xiangfei spoke first and said, "In 1977, you gave a report on the development of the large chemical industry at the Economic Commission, and the lecture was very exciting. After the meeting, I also asked you a few questions. Do you still have any impressions?"

"I have an impression, I have an impression." Wu Shican said, "Director Luo... Uh, are you Director Luo now? Sorry, I don't pay much attention to the personnel changes of the Economic Commission. By the way, you asked me questions about coal liquefaction technology at that time. I was ashamed. I didn't answer well. After I came back, I specifically looked up some information, wrote a review and sent it to you, and you even replied to me."

Luo Xiangfei said: "Your review is very well written and is still in my office drawer. I have asked several experts about the issue of methanol making olefins you mentioned in the review. They all think that the technical route you proposed is the most operational and forward-looking."

"Where are, I just put forward such ideas based on some foreign research results, just talking about it on paper." Wu Shican's face turned red, he waved his hand, changed the topic, and asked, "Director Luo, do you come to me today, do you need any technical problems to support us?"

Luo Xiangfei smiled and said, "You can say that. Actually, I came here today just to talk to you about the technology of making olefins by methanol. You just said that it was just a paper talk. So are you interested in turning paper talks into a real battlefield warrior?"
