207: The Lu Jun owes Feng Lei a favor

The most incredible thing was this.

The Army was conducting a major industrial survey at that time, and military personnel happened to be at Wuling's factory.

After seeing Wuling's brand-new production line, they were astonished.

They had already reported the news to the Military Region, and the military industry department ordered to buy out Wuling's production line design blueprints.

Now,

Shi Lei and Wang Zhonghui had been detained there.

It seemed that without the blueprints, they wouldn't be allowed to leave.

Damn it…

How could such an important matter not be told to him in advance??

Ren Yi was very angry, but more than that, he was excited.

This meant that once Fenglei's production line was laid out according to Shi Lei's design, its production efficiency could be increased by more than 20%.

The increased benefits would not be as simple as just 20%; considering production costs, time costs, and many other aspects combined,

Ren Yi estimated that it could increase profits by at least 30-40%.

Hiss!!!

Thinking of this, Ren Yi couldn't help but gasp.

"Immediately, help me contact Air Force Major General Lieutenant General Liu Chaodong; I need to get them out."

Ren Yi shouted to Lin Muwan outside the door.

Shi Lei was a treasure; he couldn't be lost.

Soon,

the two individuals in Wuling's office received notice that they could leave.

They exchanged glances, their faces lighting up with joy.

"It seems the boss already knows about the success of our production line design… He specifically pulled strings to get us out!!"

Wang Zhonghui grinned.

"Let's go, brother will take you to get promoted and a raise!!"

…

The two arrived at the office, feeling pleased with themselves.

They were very proud of the design of this new production line and felt a great sense of self-worth.

Although Wang Zhonghui was not the designer, Shi Lei's success could not have happened without his help.

Without him busying himself and cooperating unreservedly, Shi Lei would not have been able to complete this seemingly impossible task in such a short time.

Wang Zhonghui could be considered to have rendered great service, and his bonus this month was certainly assured.

However,

they soon saw Ren Yi's grim face in the office.

"You two are really something; how could you hide such a big matter from me??"

Wang Zhonghui had already prepared his explanation and calmly replied,

"Mr. Ren, you can't blame us for this."

"Shi Lei had just designed the blueprints, but they hadn't been implemented yet, so it wasn't good to report the good news to you."

"We were thinking of finding a small company to test it first, and if there were no problems, then give you a surprise."

"But who would have thought that Army personnel were conducting an industrial survey and immediately took a liking to our production line design blueprints."

"They said they wanted to apply it to military vehicle production lines, and then they seized our blueprints."

Shi Lei immediately added,

"Mr. Ren, don't worry; I have all the blueprints memorized, so there's no problem."

Ren Yi rolled his eyes repeatedly, really wanting to flick each of their foreheads.

"Is this about the blueprints? It's a good thing it was intercepted by the Army this time."

"If it had fallen into the hands of foreign capital, wouldn't they have gained an advantage for free?"

"Such a valuable thing, to actually take it outside for experiments."

"Am I short on money? I could directly set up a new production line for you to tinker with."

Upon hearing this, the two immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

They had only thought about completing the experiment and hadn't considered it so deeply.

Wang Zhonghui quickly said with a compensatory smile,

"Mr. Ren, we know we were wrong; it won't happen again."

Hearing this, Ren Yi laughed in exasperation.

"There'll be a next time?"

"Shi Lei is a fresh graduate, so it's understandable if he doesn't know, but you're a veteran of the company; do I still need to teach you about confidential work like this?"

"You really know how to give me surprises; you almost gave me a heart attack!!"

"Your bonus this month is gone; go reflect properly."

Wang Zhonghui felt utterly bitter inside; he had been happily waiting for his bonus.

He never expected that he had tried to outsmart others but ended up losing out, all his excitement for nothing.

"Alright, I don't want to see your face right now; Shi Lei, stay, you can get lost!!"

"Okay, Mr. Ren, I'll disappear immediately."

Wang Zhonghui gave Shi Lei a look that said 'good luck,' then scurried away.

At this moment,

Shi Lei was still completely bewildered.

He hadn't expected that he had almost caused a major disaster.

"Boss, I…"

Before Shi Lei could speak, Ren Yi interrupted him.

Ren Yi had changed to a completely opposite smiling face and said with a chuckle,

"Xiao Shi, don't be nervous; I'm not blaming you."

"You've rendered great service this time, and I will reward you according to your contributions."

"From today onwards, you are the director of the technical department, with a monthly salary of 30,000, and bonuses will be calculated separately."

"Also, I've decided to provide you with a 150-square-meter apartment and a car in the city center…"

Ren Yi listed a whole string of benefits in one breath.

This was the treatment for talent of Yu Chengdong's caliber.

Ren Yi's words left Shi Lei even more bewildered.

What did he mean?

Just a moment ago, he had a blaming look, but now a barrage of 'sugar-coated bullets' was being thrown at him.

Moreover,

this treatment seemed too good to be true, didn't it?

He was just a fresh university graduate; could he really live in an apartment in the city center?

Jinghai City, although not a first-tier city, was a top-tier second-tier city.

He had a slight understanding of the housing prices in the city center; the cheapest seemed to be 50,000 per square meter.

150 square meters would be 7.5 million…

"Mr. Ren, please don't tease me; I know you're joking."

"How could I, a person of what virtue or ability, deserve such good treatment!!"

Shi Lei shook his head, looking flustered.

He thought he had caused a big problem, so Ren Yi was deliberately playing a trick on him.

Ren Yi couldn't help but laugh, thinking that he had indeed scared the young man just now.

So, he explained with a smile,

"Xiao Shi, I'm telling you the truth."

"The production line blueprints you designed this time, if applied to Fenglei's production line, the benefits generated would be a drop in the ocean compared to what I'm giving you."

"Without saying anything else, based on Fenglei's current production scale, it could save the company tens of billions in costs within a year."

"In the future, when all of Fenglei's global factories use this production line, the cost savings will be immeasurable."

"Tell me, isn't that worth this treatment??"

Shi Lei was deeply shocked.

He had indeed never thought about this question; he had only thought about helping Fenglei optimize its production line and realize his own value.

He just hadn't expected the value created to be somewhat terrifying.

Seeing Shi Lei still in a daze, Ren Yi added again,

"Fenglei has always rewarded based on merit, and your contribution to Fenglei makes you worthy of all these."

"Alright, you go back and rest well for a few days; when you return, you'll directly become the director of the technical department."

Ren Yi also felt that Shi Lei was too young to accept such a big 'pie' all at once, so he immediately sent him back to slowly digest it.

After seeing Shi Lei off, Ren Yi turned to look out the window, a relieved smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

He hadn't told Shi Lei everything just now.

In fact, the production line designed by Shi Lei was not just about saving costs for Fenglei.

More importantly,

the Army of the First Army District had taken a liking to the design this time and wanted to buy it from Fenglei.

And according to what Ren Yi heard from Lieutenant General Liu Chaodong, the marshal behind the First Army District seemed to be on bad terms with the Huangpu family.

Ren Yi had already agreed to give them the design blueprints for free.

It could be said that

the First Army District owed Fenglei a favor.

In the future, those like the Huangpu family who wanted to move against Fenglei would have to think twice.
