After Zhu Gang agreed to Zhang Yi's order, Zhang Yi invited Zhu Gang to his office. However, this office was not the one from Zhang Yi's original workshop. The old office was less than 10 square meters, but the office in the new factory was dozens of square meters. The office equipment had been mostly purchased the day before, so the current office was much more impressive.

After arriving at the office, Zhang Yi handed over all the less important parts to Zhu Gang's factory for processing. In reality, the quantity of each part given to Zhu Gang this time was not large, but there were many different specifications of parts. Therefore, the total number of all parts added up was quite substantial, which meant a considerable profit margin for Zhu Gang.

After Zhu Gang left, Zhang Yi sat in the boss's chair in the new office, leisurely looking at the scenery of the factory area outside the window. Zhang Yi's office had an excellent location, perhaps specifically designed that way when the factory was planned.

His office was on the top floor of the factory's office building, offering a view of most of the factory area, including the main gate of the entire factory.

As Zhang Yi watched the vehicles coming and going outside the factory gate, he could hardly believe that he now had his own large factory building. Although this factory building was only rented from the Development Zone and not his own, it already made him feel extremely excited.

At the same time, he was also very grateful for the fate that allowed him to obtain the Scholar Hiring System. Without the Scholar Hiring System, he would absolutely not have been able to develop to his current level. It was even possible that he wouldn't have been able to maintain his original mechanical workshop.

After all, the technical gap between him and his father, Zhang Ming, was too large. Even in the best-case scenario, he could only maintain the original mechanical workshop.

Just at this moment, there was a knock on his office door.

"Knock knock knock"

"Come in!" Zhang Yi was startled by the knocking sound. After regaining his composure, he said from his boss's chair towards the door.

The office door was pushed open, and the person who entered was one of the individuals Zhang Yi had recruited at the talent market earlier. And unlike the others, who were mostly recent graduates from technical schools, he was a skilled lathe operator.

Therefore, Zhang Yi had a relatively deep impression of him. His name was Zhang Yang, and he was about forty years old. He had been working as a lathe operator for over ten years, and his skills were very proficient. Zhang Yi had already observed his operation when he was in the workshop earlier.

He was also the only person in Zhang Yi's factory who possessed a Level 4 Lathe Technician certificate. It could be said that apart from Xiao Hua and the other dwarf junior scholars, his skills were the most exquisite. Moreover, in Zhang Yi's opinion, his actual skill level might be far beyond Level 5.

"Mr. Zhang! You called for me!" When Zhang Yang entered, he saw Zhang Yi sitting behind the desk and asked.

"Master Zhang! Are you satisfied with the working environment in the factory?" Zhang Yi asked. After all, the working environment had a significant impact on the workers' efficiency, so Zhang Yi inquired.

"Mr. Zhang! As an old worker like me, I don't have high requirements for the working environment. I've been doing this kind of work for over ten years, and I've seen all sorts of environments. What's more, in my opinion, although our factory doesn't have many employees, the benefits are good, and the living conditions are also good. The factory is full of energetic young people, and being with them makes me feel like I'm a dozen years younger. What is there to be dissatisfied with?" In reality, Zhang Yang was very fortunate to be able to come to this factory.

His former colleagues had advised him not to come to this factory, as Xian County was just a mountain town and had no large factories, so it was impossible for them to pay him such a high salary.

Fortunately, he didn't listen to his former colleagues and didn't fail to come to this factory. If he really hadn't come, that would have been his biggest loss! Just looking at the factory's products, it was clear that if nothing unexpected happened, this factory would definitely develop. Then, as one of the first batch of old employees to join the factory, their future was also limitless.

"It's good that you're satisfied, Master Zhang. You are the most skilled master in our factory among the people I've recruited this time, so I want to appoint you as the Deputy Director of our factory's First Workshop. What do you think?" Zhang Yi didn't waste too much time talking to Yang Shan but directly stated the purpose of calling him here.

"Mr. Zhang, I wouldn't dare to claim to be the most skilled in the factory. After all, skill is something that can be seen at a glance. As far as I know, there are several people in the factory whose skills I cannot compare to. For example, Xiao Hua and her two sisters, their skills far surpass mine, and even the skills of those Level 6 and 7 technicians cannot compare to theirs. So I think it would be more suitable for them to take on this position." He thought for a moment, then said seriously.

What he said was also true. The factory had only been officially operating for less than a morning, but two days ago, when the factory was adjusting the machine tools, they had already done some trial production of parts. At that time, Zhang Yang had also seen Xiao Hua and their skills, so he was completely convinced by their skills.

After hearing Zhang Yang's words, he secretly nodded in his heart and also agreed with Zhang Yang's words. At the same time, he also had a preliminary understanding of his character.

So he said, "Master Zhang, you are indeed the most skilled master among the people I have recruited this time, so please don't decline anymore. Also, I have other arrangements for Xiao Hua and their two sisters. Currently, the First Workshop will temporarily be concurrently managed by Xiao Hua as the Workshop Director of the First Workshop. After you become familiar with things, I will arrange other tasks for Xiao Hua and them, so you need to work hard. I have high hopes for you."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, I'll give it a try. Although I've been in this field for over ten years, I've never held a leadership position before. But since Mr. Zhang trusts me so much, I won't decline. Thank you for your trust, Mr. Zhang." Zhang Yang said with a bit of excitement.

"Alright, Master Zhang! The workshop is already in production, let's go down and take a look! Although I've already seen the workers processing in the workshop this morning, I'm still a little worried." After saying that, Zhang Yi stood up, walked to Zhang Yang's side, and patted him on the shoulder.

Then the two of them went downstairs towards the workshop.

Upon arriving at the workshop, the machines were roaring, and everyone was working diligently. However, one CNC machine was stopped, and besides the operator of this machine, Xiao Hua, Xiao Liu, and Xiao Xia were also standing next to this machine, saying something to the original operator.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Yi and Zhang Yang also hurried over.

"What's going on? Is there a problem with this CNC machine?" After arriving next to this machine, Zhang Yi vaguely heard them saying that there were some problematic strings, so Zhang Yi asked.

"Mr. Zhang! You're here! It's like this, the part I'm processing is a relatively precise pneumatic motor component, but this machine is just an ordinary CNC machine, and the precision simply cannot meet the requirements. The processed parts are not up to standard. We are currently discussing what to do." The operator of this CNC machine was a young man. After hearing Zhang Yi's words, the young operator said.
