Chapter 41 Application for Party Membership
"It's nothing. They can't handle it themselves. They just think of you as a lifeline.
Didn’t you say before that they gave you a cold shoulder?
I called their Minister Zhang, and he admitted his mistake and said he apologized to me.
As for whether to go or not, it's up to you to decide. I don't care."
Professor Xu directly said that he had avenged his apprentice.
However, whether to help the Ministry of First Machine Building or not depends on Fang Xiang himself.
“It’s not impossible to go and help.
But look at Mr. Hu, he is so open-minded. I went to help him for a few days.
I was given a gun and a gun license.
Going to the First Ministry of Machine Building not only has no benefits, but you also have to please others.
I... "
Fang Xiang thought about it and felt that he should go.
After all, I will still have to eat this meal in the future.
But the attitude of the First Ministry of Machine Building last time was really disgusting.
It would be fine if you could give some benefits, but if there are no benefits, you still have to look down on other people and do things for them.
How cheap this is...
"Hey, kid. You're not that old, but you've already become so cunning.
You just want some benefits. Okay, leave it to me."
Professor Xu is already very old, and as soon as he sticks his butt out, you know what he is going to do.
After laughing and scolding for a few words, he agreed.
"Professor, he is from the Ministry of Machinery, not you.
I am wholeheartedly working for you without any regrets.
You can just work for them without any benefits.
I am not a fool, and besides, where can you put your face?"
Fang Xiang immediately knew that Professor Xu had seen through his thoughts.
But he didn't take it as an offense and started speaking nice words.
"Alright, alright, why didn't I realize you were capable of this before?
You don't learn good things, but only learn bad things. You have to change this bad habit.
By the way, have you joined the party?"
Professor Xu is a very smart person, and the other party is already immune to this kind of flattery.
Instead, he mentioned joining the party.
"No, why are you talking about this? Can I join the party, too?"
When Fang Xiang heard about joining the party, he was stunned. How could he be the one to join the party?
"Please fill out the application form to join the party, and I will be your introducer.
Otherwise, some people will not be able to sleep well.
That's all, I have things to do."
Professor Xu said something incoherent and then hung up the phone.
Fang Xiang touched his head, not understanding what Professor Xu meant.
"Junior Brother Fang, you said I gave you a gun?"
When Fang Xiang was making a phone call, Cao Tianwei was sitting next to him.
Of course, I could hear clearly what was said on the phone.
"Well, I went to help the General Armoury Department get pistols, which is a benefit."
Fang Xiang pretended to take something out of his trouser pocket and took out the P320 from the space.
"Wow, this gun is so beautiful!"
Cao Tianwei's eyes suddenly lit up.
It seems that as long as you are a man, there is no man who doesn't like guns.
"Don't take this thing out easily."
But Cao Tianwei is already thirty years old and knows the importance of things.
He played with it in his hand for a while and then gave it back to Fang Xiang.
"I know, it's not even loaded with bullets."
Fang Xiang took the gun, put it in his trouser pocket, and then covered it with the bottom of his shirt.
"What happened at the First Ministry of Machine Building? Did they bully you?"
Cao Tianwei took out another cigarette, lit it, and asked about what happened on the phone just now.
Fang Xiang did not hide anything and recounted what had happened before.
"This Ministry of Machinery is really a jerk. If it were you, I'd say you shouldn't go there yet.
Anyway, today is Saturday, and tomorrow is Sunday, so school is closed.
You, just take a few days off and come back next week to help them."
They are both students of Professor Xu, and Cao Tianwei has been getting along very well with Fang Xiang recently.
Naturally, he started to speak up for Fang Xiang.
“I thought so too, I have been in the army for this week.
I haven’t been eating or sleeping well, and I want to take a few days off.
By the way, Brother Cao, how is our engine going now?"
Fang Xiang felt that what Cao Tianwei said made sense and he couldn't just go like that.
It makes me feel like I'm climbing a pole.
"Don't tell me, it's really a relief to have you.
It has been tested for a month and it is running stably without any problems.
How about before you come back, I'll call the professor and tell him that I can start working on expanding the cylinder.
But I have never done something like expanding the tank before, so I am worried about it."
Cao Tianwei told the whole story directly.
"Brother, don't worry, this matter cannot be resolved in a day or two.
If that doesn't work, build a prototype with an enlarged cylinder and try firing it up.
Problems are bound to occur, and we'll see who can help us when the time comes."
Fang Xiang had some knowledge about the engine of the Dongfanghong tractor.
I know this engine has great potential.
Later, based on the thorough understanding of this engine, we developed a number of self-developed and self-produced engine models.
But a fat person doesn't get fat in one bite, he has to do it step by step.
Fang Xiang knew very well that he couldn't produce the drawings of the new engine in one go.
Because it's too scary to do that.
The time period for researching an engine is often measured in years.
The engine is not something with a simple mechanical structure like a pistol.
It is said that it can be accomplished through inspiration and talent.
If you take it out within a few days, people will definitely suspect you.
So I thought about it early on that my role is that of fertilizer. I can promote growth, but I must not force it.
“That being said, the picture still needs to be drawn and the problem still needs to be predicted.
The country is in a difficult situation now, and we who are doing research cannot waste materials casually.
We need to try to do an experiment and find more problems.”
Cao Tianwei explained while smoking a cigarette.
Only then did I realize that what Senior Brother Cao said was absolutely right.
This is not the era of the future when there are enough supplies to sell to the whole world and there is still surplus.
At present, domestic materials are extremely scarce, and even if rationing and planned economic systems are implemented, they are still not enough.
Moreover, Chinese people have a sense of thrift.
Anyone who wastes money will definitely be scolded and even criticized.
"Whether it works or not, we have to do it first. There's no point in just worrying about it.
It's the weekend already, brother, why don't you go back to be with your sister-in-law and the children?
There is still time to start next week.”
Fang Xiang was still worried about having to go to the Ministry of Machine Building.
As for the project in Cao Tianwei's hands, Fang Xiang felt that it was not the time to intervene.
Otherwise, if Fang Xiang had to take care of everything, he would be exhausted to death.
The first stage, the task of clinging to the thighs, has been successfully completed.
The second stage is about building a reputation, so don't rush.
Why not take advantage of now to catch more fish and take care of your health.
After all, the body is the capital of revolution, and there is still a long way to go in the future.
I don’t want to end up with something like this halfway through my business.
After bidding farewell to Cao Tianwei, Fang thought of the office of counselor Teacher Zhang.
“Teacher Zhang, I’ve been on a business trip helping Professor Xu with a project recently.
I haven't been to class. I wonder if Professor Xu has asked for leave for me?"
After entering the counselor's office, Fang Xiang asked about taking leave.
I have to ask, in case Professor Xu forgets.
The counselor marked me as absent for a week, and it would be very troublesome to cancel it.
"Good boy! I've been looking for you for a week! Are you on a business trip to deal with a project? Don't lie to me.
Professor Xu didn't even say hello to me, asking me, "What on earth have you been doing?"
When the counselor, Mr. Zhang, saw Fang Xiang, his face immediately became stern.
Fang Xiang took a look and realized that it was still unclear why Professor Xu had stood him up.
I quickly said all the nice things I could to get the counselor, Teacher Zhang, to reluctantly believe me.
He said that when Professor Xu comes back next week, he will verify the other party's intention to skip class.
After hesitating for almost an hour, I filled out the application to join the party.
Fang Xiangcai just came out of the office of counselor Teacher Zhang.
"Hey, Master Fang, you are finally back!?"
