>>Chapter 31
"Uncle Zhang, did you come here from one family to another?" Li Chengye had only played chess with them once, so there was no need to come to his house just to play chess.
"No, I've been looking for her all morning!" Uncle Zhang felt a little uncomfortable when he said this. After all, he had met this eldest girl from the Li family many times. He was not a bad person, but he actually avoided him and never told him where he lived, which made her look for him for so long.
"Why don't you come in and sit for a while?" It took him so long to find him, and Li Chengye couldn't drive him away. Besides, he was a bit old, so he had to respect the old man. Besides, they are all people living nearby, so it's better to be friendly.
"Don't sit down, don't sit down, it's almost time to eat, and the old lady is still waiting for me at home!" Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so there is no better place to sit at someone else's house. Besides, he has already asked around. The eldest girl in this family is a widow. , it's not easy for him to get in.
"You can come over later in the evening. You'll be in the same position as last time!" Old Man Zhang finally said the reason why he came here today. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to play chess, and he felt extremely itchy.
"Okay, I'll come over in the evening!" Li Chengye hasn't played chess for a long time. He was very busy some time ago, and now he rarely has time, so he agreed directly.
"Okay, okay, then I'll be waiting for you! You must come!" Uncle Zhang was very happy when he got the affirmative answer, but he still made sure like Li Chengye.
Li Chengye nodded seriously, "Definitely go."
"Okay, okay, I'll leave first, you must come!" Uncle Zhang left with a smile, and his back looked high-spirited, as if he was preparing for a big fight at night. He looks pretty good, he is an old man in his late sixties.
Li Chengye watched the people leave and returned to the field. He saw that Xiaobei had stopped pulling weeds and was looking at him furtively. When he noticed, he quickly turned his head and pretended to work again. However, Xiao Xi still looked intently, showing no sign of laziness at all.
When Li Chengye walked past Xiao Bei, he deliberately stopped in front of him. The little guy was so frightened that he almost jumped up. He showed a face like a little cat and smiled stupidly at Li Chengye.
"Work seriously!" After all, he was still a little baby, so Li Chengye couldn't say much, so he could only smile helplessly, and then went to work by himself.
Li Chengye had a good idea. It was not very tiring to pull grass, and it could also give the children some exercise. It was a pity that the children had a grandma to protect their calves. When Mother Li finished cooking and came to the yard, her face immediately dropped.
The two children's faces and bodies were covered in dirt. Not only that, there were small blisters on Xiaobei's hands, which were caused by rubbing.
"You black-hearted person, you are not willing to let such a young child work." Mother Li was so angry that she chased Li Chengye and patted him on the back several times. She said she was chasing him, but in fact, Li Chengye didn't even move. I didn't know that the child's hands were so tender and he was so honest in hitting his son that his hands blistered.
"Mom, I'm just playing with them. Isn't this also training them?" Li Chengye explained, but it was a pity that Li's mother could not hear his explanation at this moment. After beating the person several times, he went to look at his grandson's hand. .
Xiaobei looked a little anxious when he saw his grandma like this, and quickly wanted to explain, "Grandma, it doesn't hurt, so don't hit daddy." He puffed up his little face, and it said "I don't hurt, I am strong."
Hearing what he said, Mother Li felt even more distressed. Both of her children had seen it. Little Bei Shou did not do anything at all. He was obviously lazy and did not work. The older one was smart, but too honest and too sensible. .
"Hey, we Xiaobei are too sensible. Let's ignore your father. Grandma will take you to apply for medicine."
Mother Li took Xiaoxi back to the house, leaving Li Chengye and Xiaobei staring at each other.
Fortunately, the blisters were relatively small and not serious. Mother Li used a fire-baked needle to pop the blisters and used some medicine. It was hot now, so it was difficult to wrap them up. Mother Li could only warn him carefully for a while, telling him not to touch things with his hands.
After a while, Li Chengye followed him into the house, holding Xiao Bei's hand. Seeing that Li's mother was busy with Xiao Xi, he took Xiao Bei to wash and clean the little tabby cat.
After the matter was settled, the family of four sat in the main room and started eating. The food today was very rich, and Mother Li showed off her cooking skills. I made steamed pork with rice flour, steamed fish with rice flour, tofu dumplings, and a seaweed and pork ribs soup. It's one of their more distinctive dishes, and it's really delicious.
Because of Xiao Xi's hand, Li Chengye was glared at by his mother several times during the meal. Xiao Bei was also very obedient, sitting in rows.
Mother Li wanted to feed Xiao Xi, but he refused. She started to eat by herself and said it didn't hurt. Mother Li had no choice but to roll her eyes at Li Chengye again.
Li Chengye touched his nose guiltily. He had indeed thought a little poorly today. After all, it was the first time for the child to work. He should take his time and not encourage others.
The meal was eaten a little slowly, but it was all finished before it was too late. Because Li Chengye promised to make slingshots for the two little ones and buy them food, he wanted to take the two children to the street again.
It's a pity that Li's mother rejected him directly, thinking that he was unreliable and fearing that he would lose his two children, so Li Chengye had no choice but to go alone.
Li Chengye didn't spend long and came back after buying some snacks and some rubber bands. The main reason was that all the coupons he issued every month were given to Li's mother. I didn't have much money left with me, and it wasn't easy to buy anything. He would like to buy a bicycle, but unfortunately he doesn't have a ticket.
After returning home, Li Chengye started making a slingshot. There were several trees in his yard. He found two suitable branches. Li Chengye peeled off the bark on them and slowly smoothed the branches with abrasive cloth.
He was sitting in the yard making slingshots, and the two little guys were sitting next to him, holding snacks in their hands and eating slowly. Their eyes were fixed on Li Chengye's movements, with anticipation in their eyes. They were very quiet and did not disturb Li Chengye at all.
The atmosphere between the three father and son was just right, but suddenly a strong smell came over. The smell was simply unbearable.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Li Chengye looked up and saw Li's mother coming over with a bucket. The smell was coming from there, and it was getting closer.
Mother Li had forgotten that she was angry with her son now, and her attitude had improved a lot, "I'm fertilizing the vegetables. Don't stay here. Go inside and do it. Remember to close the door."
Li Chengye had never planted anything . Of course, he didn't know what to do, but he still planned to go over and help, "Mom, can I help you?"
He stood up and went to help.
Mother Li shook her head, "What help do I need from you? There isn't much work. You have already agreed to make slingshots for the two children. Hurry up. It's a rare break and you can play with them for a while."
After she finished speaking, she started to get busy. Li Chengye I also felt that I really couldn't do anything, so I flinched, and finally chose to take the two children into the house. Forget it, he should work hard and earn more money to give to Li's mother.
It took Li Chengye almost two hours to make the slingshot. He already knew that children have tender hands, so he carefully polished the wood until it was very smooth, making it very comfortable to hold. He doesn't move quickly, and the finished products are very beautiful.
Xiaoxi Xiaobei was very happy with her own slingshot and jumped up and down the yard behind the house. Li Chengye was afraid that they would hurt someone, so he warned them carefully before letting them go.
The holiday passed quickly, and it wasn't long before dinner started again. After dinner, the family of four went to the place where they often played in the evening. Of course, Xiaoxi and Xiaobei did not forget their new slingshot.
Mother Li didn't want them to go out with slingshots. There were a lot of children there, so it would be bad if they could use one to beat people randomly. It was Li Chengye who made the two children promise not to play randomly before he was allowed to take them there.
"Hey, it's coming, it's coming."
"Where's it? Where's it?"
They heard someone shouting just as they arrived. Li Chengye looked over and saw the old men who had played chess with him before. At this time, several people had already ran over, and the leader was the old man Zhang.
"Comrade Li, hurry up and play a game with me first." As soon as Old Man Zhang approached, he directly grabbed Li Chengye's arm, trying to pull him to the chessboard.
They were trying to rob someone. Mother Li quickly grabbed her son, "How could you, an old man, do anything?"
"Hey, sister, I'm in a hurry to play chess. Just lend me your son first. " , We all agreed." Old man Zhang was flattering and pointed at him to play chess. How dare he offend his mother.
Li Chengye has become more friendly with people, so he naturally wants to go over. "Mom, I'll go over and play chess. Call me when you get back!"
"Okay, you old men, don't bully my son." Mother Li let go of her hand. , but gave him a fierce kick when they left.
"How dare you, just keep your heart in your stomach!" After saying this, Old Man Zhang pulled the person away.
Li Chengye got on the chess table as soon as he passed by. He didn't come down until Mother Li came over to call him, so naturally he never lost.
On the other hand, the old men around them almost got into a fight over the order of playing chess with Li Chengye. In the end, Li Chengye stopped after saying that he would come over and play chess with them when he had time in the future.
As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passed, autumn came quickly. Not long after Li Chengye and the others returned, an autumn rain began to fall and the wind picked up. The temperature can be clearly felt to have dropped a lot.
Mother Li quickly went into the house and found out the quilt quilt she had made before. She found someone to make it after Li Chengye came back, and she used good cotton. She estimated that the temperature would cool down in the past few days, so she dried them all in advance. They were all covered with the smell of sunshine and were very warm.>>
Chapter 32
: After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the steel plant entered into the heat of steelmaking again. Now the demand for steel is increasing, and the task indicators of their plant are getting heavier year by year.
Because the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, Li Chengye has nothing important to do for the time being, so he has time to write a manuscript. He also took the time to write an article a few days ago. It was sent not long ago and there is still no news.
"Hey, where are you two?" The person who came was Vice Chairman Xu of the labor union. He was accompanied by another middle-aged man, who was Director Ke, the office director of the factory committee.
"Chairman Xu, Director Ke." When someone came in, the two of them quickly got up to say hello.
"Hey, you guys sit down, we are here to talk to Comrade Li Chengye about something." Vice Chairman Xu smiled cordially, while Director Ke just nodded at them and looked at him with a smile as he spoke.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Hu Liren. Hu Liren was not a fool. He immediately said: "Chairman Xu, Director Ke, I have something to do, so I'm going out first. Sorry!"
Vice Chairman Xu nodded with satisfaction. , "Okay, then go and do your work first!"
Hu Liren left quickly after getting the answer, and closed the office door. Li Chengye didn't know where to sit down, so he quickly brought two chairs for them to sit on, and wanted to pour two cups of tea.
Vice Chairman Xu saw him busy and stopped him immediately, "Hey, Comrade Li, you don't have to be busy. Let's talk about things first."
"It's ready." There were thermos bottles and cups for guests in the office. Li Chengye was very happy He quickly poured the tea over and handed it to the two of them.
Vice Chairman Xu said there was no need to be busy, but the smile on his face became even better when he saw him like this. Pointing to the chair, he asked him to pull up a chair and sit down. Taking a sip of tea, he smiled and said: "Comrade Li, we came to see you because we want to ask your opinion on something." After saying that, he looked at Li Chengye and observed his expression.
Li Chengye said nothing, looking like he was listening carefully.
"Secretary Chu in the factory is now short of a secretary and is looking for one in the factory. Although you have only been in the factory for two months, your performance has been good. Secretary Chu wants to transfer you to give it a try." He didn't do this either. Unexpectedly, Director Ke came to the door early this morning and said that he wanted someone from their union, but it was Li Chengye who had just arrived and his performance was extraordinary.
Naturally, their union had no future in the factory committee. Chairman Wan didn't want to delay the future of young people, so he naturally agreed, and then asked him to bring Director Ke to Li Chengye.
Seeing that Li Chengye seemed a little shocked, he immediately continued: "This is a good thing. Chairman Wan also knows about it. Although he is a little reluctant to part with it, he naturally agrees if you have a better future, so let me ask you. You don't have What's your opinion?"
Li Chengye quickly shook his head nervously, "I'm just a brick in the factory, so I can move it wherever it is needed. Don't worry, I will definitely do my job seriously." He looked very much like someone who was suddenly promoted! The person looked surprised and frightened.
The two people he looked at laughed, but Vice Chairman Xu immediately said: "Of course you have to work seriously. Secretary Chu's secretary is not that easy to be. You go over and stay for a few days. If you don't do it well, you will be punished by others." It won't look good if you go back." He looked serious.
Before Li Chengye could reply, Director Ke, who had been silent for a long time, immediately said: "Looking at what you said, we still know Comrade Li's ability. Not only did he write the article well, he also did well in the activities the day before yesterday. How can he show it?" "It's not good."
He also understood that this was actually meant for him, asking them to make good use of people. It is impossible for a young man to perform well in the labor union and then perform poorly when he gets to the factory committee and be sent back. Well, isn't this the face of a labor union?
After hearing this, Vice Chairman Xu felt satisfied. After all, he was from their union and could not be bullied.
"Okay, let's not talk about anything else. Director Ke, you are also busy. It would be a good idea to see when Comrade Li will come over."
Director Ke was not polite, he was in a hurry to take people over, "It's better to do it as soon as possible, Chu There are also many vacancies in the position of secretary. It would be better to go there as soon as possible. Chairman Xu, please see if you can let Comrade Li take over the work as soon as possible.
"Comrade Li, can you finish the handover today?" He turned to Li Chengye and asked. He didn't know how long it would take for Li Chengye and the others to hand over the work, but Director Ke was in such a hurry that he couldn't hold him back.
Li Chengye must have answered by himself now, "The handover can be completed."
Vice Chairman Xu nodded and looked at Director Ke, "Director Ke, can you come over tomorrow?"
Director Ke nodded with satisfaction, "Of course, then Li Comrade, you can go directly to the factory committee office to find me tomorrow morning, and I will take you to see Secretary Chu."
After saying that, he stood up, looking like he was about to leave.
Li Chengye also stood up quickly, "Excuse me, Director Ke, I will be there on time."
Vice Chairman Xu and Li Chengye had nothing to say, so they also stood up, "Director Ke, let's go out together, it's rare for you to come over. , go sit in my office for a while."
"Okay." Director Ke was not in a hurry to go back and agreed without hesitation.
The two of them walked out side by side. Li Chengye followed behind and sent the person out. He stopped seeing them off when they were at the door and watched the two of them go up to the second floor. He stood at the door and didn't leave for a while. Changing jobs was something he had always wanted to do, but he didn't expect that he would get the news so soon as soon as he got to work today. He didn't expect that he would still be Secretary Chu's secretary, which is a more fulfilling position. .
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Hu Liren patted Li Chengye's shoulder with his hand, looking puzzled. He said he was going out to do errands, but in fact he didn't go far, he just stayed under a tree not far away. Seeing Vice Chairman Xu and the others leaving, he came over. Unexpectedly, Li Chengye never noticed that he had come and still stayed here in a daze.
"Ah, there's really a good thing!" Li Chengye came to his senses and entered the office.
"Hey, there's something really good? What is it?" Hu Liren was really curious now, and Pidianpidian followed him and ran in.
"Hey, hurry up and tell me."
"Tell me, hurry up and tell me."
He was so anxious that he scratched his head and head, but Li Chengye slowly brought the chair back to his table and casually picked up the teapot to drink. got up.
"Hey, don't tell me!" Hu Liren also pulled up a chair and sat next to Li Chengye, holding his hand around Li Chengye's neck in a threatening manner.
Li Chengye felt the pressure, stretched out his left hand, pinched his wrist, and exerted force.
"Ouch, let go quickly, let go, it hurts." Hu Liren felt a sharp pain in his wrist and quickly retracted his hand, his body shrinking unconsciously.
He was not serious in the first place, but Hu Liren let go of his hand as soon as he called Li Chengye.
Hu Liren covered his wrist and glared at Li Chengye angrily, "I was just kidding, why did you use so much force? It hurts me to death."
Li Chengye ignored him and just said: "I'm leaving the union. "
Hu Liren was shocked. He jumped up from the chair and forgot about the pain in his hands. "Oh my god, what's going on? Why are you leaving the union? Then where are you going?" he said. I didn't think that Li Chengye lost his job because of something wrong. He was just very surprised. He had only joined the union not long ago.
"Go to the factory committee and work as a secretary for Secretary Chu." He was going to report there tomorrow. It was not a secret, so he naturally said it directly.
"Secretary Chu, my God! Brother Li, you are going to be prosperous!" He was really envious now. Secretary Chu is the top leader in their factory. It is a great blessing to be his secretary. In the future He definitely has a bright future and a future for development, which is better than retiring in this union.
"Brother Li, please don't forget me in the future!"
Li Chengye smiled helplessly, "How can you praise me like this? Besides, with all your arrogance, I will never forget you."
"Hehe!" Hu Liren giggled.
But after a while, he stopped smiling and said with some frustration: "I also want to do something, but it's a pity..."
"Well, although I was busy some time ago, there are still things to do. Even if I am busy, I still feel sad. It's very comfortable. It's not like today. I just felt tired all morning and felt uncomfortable in my heart." Hu Liren became very serious when he said this.
Hearing this, Li Chengye also became serious and listened patiently to what he had to say.
After the others finished speaking, he said seriously: "Actually, the trade union can do a lot of things."
Hu Liren's eyes widened and he immediately asked anxiously: "Really? What can I do?"
Li Chengye took out his hand and He counted them on his hands and said, "First, most of the workers in our factory are men. They are usually busy with work, but there are probably many older men and young people. Their marriage problems need to be solved urgently. I remember that there are also clothing factories in the county. There are many good girls in the factory. We can definitely organize a social network, which will definitely lead to many good marriages. When the time comes, we will have a collective marriage, which will ensure that many people will be grateful to the union. Moreover, if these people have wives, they will definitely be able to concentrate more. I'm working now."
Hu Liren's eyes lit up, "Hey, this is a good idea. Many people said before that our factory doesn't have many female workers, and they can't even find a wife."
"Hey, Brother Li, you are . This is a great idea, but it's your idea..., I..."
Seeing his hesitation, Li Chengye smiled and said: "This is one, there are two, three, four and five, don't you listen? Listen? "Li Chengye is naturally not a kind-hearted person. The main reason is that Hu Liren has been very kind to him since he joined the union. This can be regarded as a courtesy.
Besides, this matter was quite troublesome to handle, and he had no intention of focusing on it. Besides, he was going to the factory committee soon, so it would be better for the trade union to handle this matter.>>
Chapter 33
Hu Liren saw that he didn't hesitate at all when he said this, so he was relieved and said, "Hey, good brother, don't worry, I will definitely not forget your contribution. When the time comes for the social gathering, you will also come over and I will give you something." Find a good position and find a good sister-in-law for me."
Li Chengye had told him before that he didn't want to marry again, but he just thought that Li Chengye couldn't think about it because of the previous incident.
Li Chengye refused immediately, "No, I have no intention of marrying again. Don't do more things!"
His words were a bit harsh, and Hu Liren had to give up the idea and muttered: "Hey, isn't it nice to have a wife? I really don't know what is good or bad..."
Under Li Chengye's gaze, his voice became smaller and smaller until he disappeared.
The two chatted for a few more words, and then handed over work. In fact, there was nothing to hand over. Originally, they didn't have much to do, but now they were handing over some written materials.
The day passed quickly, and Li Chengye also learned a lot about Secretary Chu from Hu Liren. Secretary Chu is over 40 years old this year. He was an ordinary worker at the beginning, but he is also quite capable. He seized the opportunity to join the party and was promoted. Later, he was transferred to the steel factory and became the deputy director, director, and then factory committee member. secretary. It can be said that he single-handedly supported this steel factory, and naturally he has deep feelings.
He also has a high school degree, but he also has means. He is an upright person, but he also knows how to be tactful. He always thinks about ordinary workers and does a lot of practical things for the factory. He is quite popular among the people in the factory.
The party was over, and Li Chengye went home for dinner on time. Li Chengye did not tell his mother about his job change. After all, he is the head of the family now, and it is his responsibility to bear these things, so it is better not to let them worry.
After dinner, he went to his usual place to play chess again, which was enough to relax him.
The next morning Li Chengye went to the factory committee. After all, it was his first time there, so Li Chengye packed himself up and went to the factory earlier.
It was not like Li Chengye had never dealt with people from the factory committee before. He had been here several times and found Director Ke's office smoothly.
But he came a little early. Director Ke hadn't come to work yet, so he stood at the door and waited for a while. It was at work time, and people were coming and going. Some people noticed him, but they weren't very familiar with him, so they just thought If something happened, no one would come to greet him.
"Director Ke." After waiting for a few minutes, Li Chengye saw someone coming.
Director Ke was carrying a briefcase. He was not wearing glasses and could not see clearly. When he got closer, he realized it was Li Chengye. He quickly smiled and said, "Hey, you are here early. How long have you been waiting?
Li Chengye stepped aside to let him open the door, and said with a smile: "I've only been here for a while, and I've only been waiting for two minutes." Director
Ke was very satisfied with his positive attitude, "Okay, you wait a moment, I will bring the things." I will take you to see Secretary Chu after I put it away. He is already in the office. "Secretary Chu always comes earlier than others, so he must be here now. There have been no exceptions in the past few years, unless he is not in the factory on a business trip. .
"Okay." Nodding obediently, Li Chengye stood waiting at the door and did not follow Director Ke into his office.
After Director Ke opened the door, he put his briefcase on the chair and came out without any delay. After closing the door, he said, "Okay, let's go over now!" "
Sorry, Director Ke!"
" No trouble. "
The factory committee building is also a three-story building, and the building area is naturally not comparable to that of the labor union. The offices of several important leaders in the factory are on the third floor, and Director Ke's is on the second floor. There are about seven or eight rooms on each floor. The Publicity Department, Labor and Management Department, Purchasing Department and Finance Department are all here. Of course, there is also an administrative office here, which handles paperwork. The secretaries of leaders are usually selected from here.
Secretary Chu's previous secretary had been with him for about six or seven years. Now he has made better progress and was transferred to another factory to become a middle-level cadre.
Secretary Chu made a selection in the administrative office and tried several, but none satisfied him. The reason I chose Li Chengye this time was because I had seen his performance during the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala and thought he was a generous and calm person and a good prospect. In addition, Chairman Wan said a lot of good things about him, and he knew that a lot of the attention in this event was due to him, so naturally he was even more satisfied. I also heard that his articles had been published in the provincial newspaper. After looking for them and reading them, I felt that his literary talent was extraordinary.
As his secretary, he naturally had to help write speeches, which was also a strength. In the end, he made the decision and turned the person over. He also knows what the union is like, so naturally he doesn't want to waste talents.
Director Ke took Li Chengye to the third floor, and soon they arrived at the door of Secretary Chu's office. Director Ke knocked lightly on the door a few times, waiting for the answer from the person inside.
"Who is it?"
"Secretary, it's me, Xiao Ke. I brought Comrade Li Chengye over to report." The person inside didn't say anything about coming in, and Director Ke couldn't open the door, so he could only explain his purpose at the door.
"Oh, just let Comrade Li Chengye come in. Comrade Ke can continue working!" came the answer after a moment of silence.
"Okay." Director Ke was used to their secretary's behavior and agreed very obediently.
"Comrade Li, hurry in!" He urged Li Chengye before leaving.
Li Chengye nodded, held the door handle and pushed the door open, and then he walked in.
This office is about 20 square meters, which is relatively large. The most eye-catching thing is the row of bookcases against the wall, which are filled with information and some books. Other than that, everything else is very simple, a set of desks, and a middle-aged man sitting there. His face was a little serious, and he was writing on paper with a pen while wearing glasses. When he heard the sound of someone coming in, he didn't mean to speak, and just concentrated on doing his own thing.
"Secretary." Li Chengye called out and stood not far away from him, so that he could not clearly see what Secretary Chu wrote but also let the other party notice him.
Secretary Chu still didn't agree to his intention, and was just busy with what he was doing.
Li Chengye waited for a while, then his peripheral vision fell on the table. He saw that the teacup on the table seemed to be empty. Secretary Chu once stretched out his hand a little, and then immediately took it back.
After thinking about it, he slowly walked over and took the teapot in his hand. Then he looked again and found a thermos bottle on the small table by the window. He walked over and took a look, but it was already empty and there was nothing inside. A little water. He placed the teapot on the table, took the thermos bottle and walked out.
The water room was easy to find. He quickly filled the thermos bottle with water, and then returned to Secretary Chu's office. The people inside were still concentrating on doing their own things. He walked in quietly, gently filled the teapot with water, and then put the teapot back in its place. It is convenient for Secretary Chu to use without delaying his position in doing things.
After a while, Secretary Chu picked up the tea vat, blew on it a few times and drank slowly.
Li Chengye also stood back to his original position, with no intention of doing anything else, let alone interrupting Secretary Chu.
After almost ten minutes, Secretary Chu finally finished what he was doing, put the pen in his hand on the table, and finally laid his eyes on Li Chengye for the first time.
He looked at him sharply, and after a while he said slowly: "Comrade Li Chengye? Right?"
"Yes, Secretary Chu."
"I have read all your information, and I know almost everything you have done recently. Since I transferred you here, I naturally think you are suitable. But my secretary is not that easy to do, and he has a lot to do. Of course. These can all be learned, but the most important thing is not to hide anything from me, and you must tell me in time if you have anything." His voice was very stern, and his eyes were a little threatening.
Li Chengye didn't show any worry or fear at all, he just nodded very seriously, "Yes, Secretary Chu, I can do it."
Secretary Chu looked at his eyes seriously and saw only perseverance and calmness, nothing that should not be there. Ambition and deceit. He couldn't help feeling relieved, and the expression on his face improved a lot, and he said in a gentle manner: "Of course, when I say you can't hide anything, I mean work matters. I won't care about your personal affairs. But private matters You can't make a mistake, you must stick to your principles."
After saying this, he became serious again unconsciously.
"Understood, I will." This is also something that leaders often do, and it can be regarded as a sign of authority. Li Chengye doesn't find it strange. The secretary itself is a very important position, and every word and deed will affect his immediate boss. Naturally, you will be very careful.
"Okay, you will be my secretary from now on. Here is a report I wrote. Please help me polish it and make it more formal. Give it to me before noon tomorrow." Secretary Chu will be really satisfied now. He picked up some pieces of paper on the table and handed them to Li Chengye. This was exactly what he had just written.
Li Chengye took it and said directly without looking at it: "Okay, I will finish it as soon as possible." This should be regarded as Secretary Chu's first test for him.
"By the way, here are some information. Take it. If you don't understand anything, check the information first. If it's not in the information, you can ask me." Secretary Chu was very satisfied with his attitude and stood up in the bookcase. I found a pile of information and gave it to Li Chengye.
In fact, he was quite satisfied with Li Chengye. He saw everything he did when he came in just now. Including where he stood and taking the initiative to pour tea, it proved that he had eyes and a sense of proportion. He stood there for so long without any anxiety, which further proves that he has a good character. Of course, this is still the first day, and the specific character will be revealed in the future.
Li Chengye left Secretary Chu's office with a stack of documents, and of course he didn't forget to close the door.>>
Chapter 34
Li Chengye's office is next to Secretary Chu. Of course, the space is very small, only about ten square meters. There is a file cabinet and a set of tables and chairs inside, which should be separated. The other side of him is the factory director's office. Secretary, he had never seen him before.
However, on his first day here, Li Chengye didn't know the specific relationships among the leaders in the factory, so he naturally had no intention of going out to say hello to anyone. Sitting on the chair, he looked through the things Secretary Chu gave him.
This is an application report for steelmaking equipment in a steel plant. From the initial special ore, steel needs to go through many processes, including sintering and smelting, rolling, heat treatment and various mechanical processing.
These processes require a lot of equipment, including sintering furnaces, coke ovens, blast furnaces, converters, etc. These equipment are very important and related to the production of steel. Most of the equipment in their steel plant was added when the plant was first built, and the remaining small part was acquired later. It can be said that it is very backward equipment. It also makes it difficult to improve their production efficiency, and the quality of finished products is also prone to instability.
They had applied to the higher authorities some time ago to get some funds to replace equipment, but to no avail. After the Mid-Autumn Festival party a few days ago, he had a few conversations with several leaders, and felt that their attitudes seemed to have relaxed a bit. Strike while the iron is hot. Secretary Chu has been busy writing application reports these two days. He is confident that he will pass this time.
Li Chengye took the report in his hand and looked at it carefully. It seemed that it had been revised many times, and black lumps appeared occasionally. It was obvious that someone had written something and then crossed it out. Li Chengye read the report from beginning to end, and in the end he could only comment helplessly that it was too plain. The whole article was about the difficulties of their factory, the difficulties in the development of the factory, and their eagerness to change the status quo.
It's quite emotional, but it's not specific at all. Although it's full of emotion, it lacks data support, so it's not a qualified report. He has also done some project application reports before, and data is the supporting point that can convince them.
He flipped through the information that Secretary Chu gave him. It contained the production data of the steel plant in recent years, including output, productivity and finished product qualification rate. However, there is still a lack of some data, such as machine energy consumption and some operational issues.
It's better to go to the workshop to take a look and ask. Li Chengye has an idea in his mind, so he won't be in a hurry now. It was still working time, and he didn't know if Secretary Chu would come to see him. It would be better to go during the lunch break. There would be someone on duty at that time.
Li Chengye did not immediately start revising the report. Instead, he began to refine the data. He was very capable of refining data and read all the information in almost one morning. Secretary Chu might be used to being alone these days, but he never came to see Li Chengye or went out.
Being a secretary is not easy, and naturally you have to care about the leader's life. At about 11:58, Li Chengye put down the pen in his hand, stood up and went to Secretary Chu's office next door.
"Secretary Chu, it's time to eat. Do you want me to get you some food?" After knocking on the door and entering, Li Chengye directly explained his purpose.
Secretary Chu glanced at him and said, "You don't have to go and eat by yourself. I'm going to the county government later and won't be back in the afternoon. Just do what I told you."
"Okay." Li Chengye nodded and agreed. , then closed the door and went out, the whole journey took less than a minute.
Since the leader had said that he would not be allowed to follow him, Li Chengye would not be ignorant and went to the cafeteria with his lunch box. Of course, he also brought his notebook and pen along with him, just in time to wait until he went to the workshop.
After eating, Li Chengye went to the workshop. There were still people on duty in the workshop at noon, and it was easier to find people.
As soon as Li Chengye entered the workshop, he felt waves of heavy heat coming over him. The weight was almost suffocating. It's autumn now. The temperature outside is about ten or twenty degrees, but the temperature inside the workshop should be forty or fifty degrees.
Li Chengye was sweating profusely after a while. He could clearly see tons of molten iron flowing out of the blast furnace, which was red. There are a group of workers surrounding the machine. They need to throw iron blocks into the sintering furnace, throw coal into the sintering furnace, and work at high temperatures. These operations are all dangerous.
You must know that steelmaking has never been an easy task. Furnace explosions are not uncommon, and every accident is accompanied by the loss of life. This kind of crisis has also occurred in their steel plant. Fortunately, the technicians discovered it in time and dealt with it in time, thus avoiding casualties.
Li Chengye had already thought about who he was looking for before he came over. He knew many of the workers here from the short play they rehearsed before. Two of them were technicians at the steel plant and knew the machine very well.
"Master Qian, Master Ma." Li Chengye shouted immediately when he saw the two people writing and drawing there with notebooks and pens.
"Hey, Comrade Li, why do you have time to come over? Do you have any good stories for us to perform?" Master Qian was very happy to see Li Chengye. He also attended the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala this time, but there were a lot of surprises. Limelight. In particular, several children at home also came to visit, and they admired their father's work very much. Even his wife understood better how hard it was for him to be away from home often. The atmosphere at home is so good these days. As for bonuses, that comes second.
"Yes, don't forget us if such good things happen in the future." Master Ma has the same idea as Master Qian. These days, many people greet him when he goes out, and his popularity has improved.
"Hey, I really have something to do here today. I mainly want you two to give me some help. I wonder if this will be convenient?" Li Chengye was not polite and directly explained his purpose.
"It must be inconvenient for others, but as for you, it must be convenient, old Qian, don't you think so?" As soon as Master Ma heard that he was asked to help, he immediately agreed, and he was still in the mood to joke.
"That's right, if you have anything to ask, just tell us. If you can help us, we will definitely help. It won't be very busy this time." Master Qian was also very enthusiastic and closed the notebooks in his hands.
"Then I'm not polite." He originally came to them for help, and it would be good for them if the matter was done, so Li Chengye was naturally not polite.
"You're welcome."
Li Chengye took a look and saw that the sound here was louder and it wasn't a suitable place to talk, so he said to the two of them, "Let's find a place to talk. I can't finish this in a while."
Qian . Master and Master Ma looked at each other, and then said: "Then let's go to our office. It's convenient to talk there."
After that, he took Li Chengye out of the door. Their office was not far away. It's in the workshop, just turn left when you go out. The room is very good, with two cabinets and three tables. The tables are messy and full of papers with data recorded on them.
The temperature here is much more comfortable than in the workshop, and there is no politeness. Li Chengye consciously pulled a chair and sat down, and then got down to business.
"I came here today to ask some questions about the current steel plant equipment. I heard that the two of you have been here since the establishment of the steel plant, so they must know it very well." He paused at this point.
"That's right, we've already built the factory. It's no problem to contact us about the equipment, and there's no one else who knows better than us." Master Ma patted his chest confidently, as if the matter was all on me. , it looks like there is absolutely no problem.
Master Qian on the other hand was more steady and just nodded in agreement.
"That's good. I would like to ask, compared with before, has there been any change in the fuel required for refining the same iron ore each time? What is the yield of finished products? Are there many impurities in the molten iron..."
"There are some changes in this. After the equipment has been used for too long, the time required for operation also becomes longer..."
"As for the yield, let alone it. Now we often have to repeat smelting..."
"The failure rate of the machine It gets better every year..."
When it comes to these issues, the two masters are full of words to say. They have also worked in the factory for a long time, deal with mechanical equipment every day, and know these equipment very well. They also want new equipment, but that is also difficult. Now they are just tinkering with things year after year, and they are afraid that these old guys won't be able to hold on any longer.
"Then I'll trouble you two today." Li Chengye's mission was successfully completed. He got a lot of data from the two masters and gained a lot.
"No trouble, no trouble." The two masters sent Li Chengye out with smiles on their faces, and they were very happy chatting with them.
"Then I'll leave first." Li Chengye checked the time. It was already past three o'clock. He had already delayed the two masters a lot of time, so naturally it was not easy to stay any longer.
"Okay, then we won't keep you." Master Qian said with a smile.
"Hey, Comrade Li, is our factory going to get new equipment?" Just when Li Chengye was about to leave suddenly, Master Ma suddenly asked quietly. His eyes were full of excitement, as if he knew a big secret. look.
"Hey, how can I know this? I'm not the leader above." Li Chengye pretended to be surprised. This matter was still being fought for, so it definitely couldn't be disclosed. Otherwise it would be bad if the news spread.
"Hey, aren't you honest? Then why are you asking these questions? Isn't it that the factory is going to exert its efforts?" Master Ma looked unconvinced. This Comrade Li had held such a big event before, and it was not A person with no purpose, there must be a reason for coming here this time.
Li Chengye had already thought of the reason and said with a calm smile: "I mainly want to know more about our factory and see if I can write more articles to let more people know about our steel factory."
Thank you very much for your support. I support you and I will continue to work hard!>>
Chapter 35
Master Ma was a little suspicious, "Is that so?"
Lu Chengye nodded.
When Master Ma and Master Qian got this answer, they became a little depressed, and there was a sense of decadence that they had lost hope.
Lu Chengye didn't say any more. This matter still depends on everyone's efforts. The first thing now is to get this report done. Everything else is false.
When he returned to the office, he started to sort out the report. Data was compiled one by one. Lu Chengye made several tables, which were clear and contrasting.
He then made statistics on the approximate cost of annual equipment maintenance, as well as the dangers that existing equipment may cause. Special emphasis was placed on the importance of equipment replacement.
Because the report would be handed over to Secretary Chu at noon tomorrow, Lu Chengye went back to the office after eating in the cafeteria in the evening and worked overtime attentively.
The next morning Li Chengye started work very early and arrived almost twenty minutes early. He asked about Secretary Chu's working hours and found that it was about ten minutes early. He can't come later than his leader. Although Secretary Chu didn't ask for anything, he just met him yesterday and found out that he is also a very demanding person.
After Li Chengye arrived, he went directly to Secretary Chu's office, opened the window for ventilation, arranged the things on the table, and wiped the desk and bookcase clean. Finally, he took the thermos bottle to make another pot of water, and also took the teapot to wash it.
Back in the office, Li Chengye poured some water into the teapot and placed it on the table, along with the thermos bottle. Then he went outside and placed today's newspaper on the table.
After everything was done, he took a closer look and saw that nothing was missing, so he just went back to his office.
Secretary Chu came to work not long after Li Chengye left. He was also carrying a briefcase, his face was a little serious, and his brows were full of horizontal lines, which seemed to be caused by frequent frowning.
He opened the door casually and immediately noticed that the inside was different from yesterday. There were wisps of white smoke floating from a cup of hot tea on the desk, with newspapers beside it.
The materials that he had thrown around yesterday were neatly placed, and the entire office was clean and tidy. Maybe it's because I've opened the window for ventilation for a while, but I don't feel as stuffy as before.
Secretary Chu was satisfied, and his frown relaxed, knowing in his heart that these changes were caused by his new secretary. I couldn't help but feel a little more satisfied with him. At the party before, I felt that he was calm in the face of danger.
From the beginning, he performed well and had great adaptability. Later, Chairman Wan also informed him about the fact that the host was sent to the hospital. So he later paid more attention to Li Chengye. After seeing his performance, I came up with the idea of transferring people over.
But at that time, he just casually mentioned it to Chairman Wan. When he came back, he asked someone to inquire about it. Unexpectedly, Comrade Li had done a lot of things, his literary talent was also very good, and he was quite famous in their steel factory. That's why he asked Director Ke to get the person back.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. He didn't know what happened to the report given to him yesterday. Did he encounter any difficulties? Let's go and take a look.
Acting as soon as he thought of it, Secretary Chu put his briefcase on the table, turned around and went to Li Chengye's office.
Because Secretary Chu was in the office, Li Chengye had to pay attention to his movements at all times, but he did not close the office door.
So Secretary Chu walked in directly. Li Chengye had only written a few words at this moment, but he soon noticed the person coming in, and stood up immediately, "Secretary Chu!"
Secretary Chu waved his hand down, "Sit down, you don't have to look like this, I just want to ask a question How's your report going?"
He casually pulled a chair and sat in front of Li Chengye, as if he didn't intend to leave immediately.
Li Chengye handed him some papers on the table with both hands, and then said with a smile: "It's almost done. There's only one ending left. Why don't you take a look at these first."
He worked overtime until nine o'clock in the evening yesterday. It was really... It took a long time, but he didn't expect that Secretary Chu would come over and ask him early in the morning. He could only be glad that he had almost finished it after working overtime yesterday, otherwise he would have written a little bit, which would definitely give people a bad impression.
Secretary Chu was a little surprised, "Oh, so fast?"
After saying that, he took the few pieces of paper handed over and casually glanced at the beginning. It was completely different from what he wrote yesterday, but the words and sentences were more appropriate. .
"You continue to work out the ending. I'll take a look at these first." Secretary Chu originally just planned to read it for a while, but now he felt that he couldn't finish it in a while. This report was really beyond his expectation. It was a report of this era. There is no such emphasis on data, but this persuasiveness cannot be compared with dozens of sentences such as "We really lack equipment" and "We are very poor".
Seeing this, Li Chengye could only do things according to his instructions. He did not expect that this person actually sat here and looked carefully. It seemed that he would definitely not leave for a while, so he concentrated on the rest. Things, but still leave some attention to Secretary Chu.
In the quiet morning, the two people were concentrating on their own things. Secretary Chu looked at the information in his hand and became more and more excited. He almost slapped the case and said "buy, buy, buy."
Regardless of the fact that he is the director of a steel plant, as an ordinary person, he also feels that it is unreasonable to not replace new equipment. There is no reason to refute it at all. He just knows that the equipment is too old and production is lagging behind. He has never understood such specific data. It seems that he will learn more about it in the future.
After reading the last word, he collected himself and looked at Li Chengye, preparing to ask him some questions carefully. Although this report is well written, there are still many things that need to be confirmed.
Li Chengye naturally noticed his gaze, and quickly stopped writing in his hand and looked at Secretary Chu.
Secretary Chu: "Secretary Li, can you guarantee the authenticity of the data in your report? Where did it come from?"
Li Chengye knew that he was definitely going to ask this question, and said very seriously: "The data in my report are mainly There are two sources. One is the information you gave me, which contains our annual steel production, and the usage of iron ore and coal. The other source is the two technicians in the factory, Master Ma in the steelmaking workshop. and Master Qian."
Li Chengye paused and gave Secretary Chu a moment to recall who these two were, and then continued: "These two masters have been working here since the factory was built. It has been ten years. It can be said that The person who knows our equipment best."
Secretary Chu interrupted with some doubts: "Is the actual performance of this data guaranteed? Ten years is not a short time, will there be memory errors? Moreover, I remember I gave it to you. The data is from the past five years, right?"
Li Chengye didn't care about his interruption. After listening carefully to what he said, he continued: "The authenticity is absolutely guaranteed. The two masters do data every day. The records have been there since the factory was first established, and those notebooks have been kept very well. I have compared the data you gave me for five years, and there are some errors, but they are almost negligible."
Secretary Chu heard what he said . He was relieved because he also knew these two masters. They could be said to be the great contributors in their factory. They worked rigorously and conscientiously. Since there was no memory error, there was no problem.
Thinking of this, he felt happy again, and his confidence in getting funds from the superiors increased again.
He stood up and showed a rare smile to Li Chengye: "Okay, I won't disturb you anymore. Get the back ones quickly and give them to me as soon as you get them out. I'll take these back first."
" Okay." Li Chengye also wanted to stand up and send him out immediately, but his shoulders were pressed down and he couldn't get up.
"Okay, there's no need for this. Just get things done. You did a great job this time." After speaking, Secretary Chu said his hand and left Li Chengye's room.
After turning his back to Li Chengye, he could no longer hold back the smile on his face. When he returned to his office, his mouth was already grinning widely.
"This kid is really good. It seems that I have found a treasure. I will train him well in the future!" He whispered to himself, then sat at the desk and read the report in his hand.
In a few days, he will go to the county to attend a meeting. He must remember the data above. When the time comes, throw them out one by one, and those people will definitely have nothing to say.
Hey, how about bringing the notebooks of the two masters over to them and throwing them in the faces of those who object to see what they can object to.
The more Secretary Chu thought about it, the more he thought this was a good idea, so he couldn't help but run to Li Chengye's office again.
"Secretary Li, after you finish the work in hand, go find Master Qian and Master Ma and bring over the notebooks in their hands. They will be useful then." He did not enter the room, but just stood at the door and talked.
Li Chengye understood what he was going to do as soon as he thought about it, and immediately nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll go there in the afternoon."
Secretary Chu nodded with satisfaction and left. He returned to the office and read the report again, and suddenly thought that he had to talk to the factory director about this matter, so that they could cooperate more easily.
To avoid the situation where the other party has no idea what he is talking about. Acting as soon as he thought of it, Secretary Chu immediately ran to the office of the director of the steel plant.
The director of the steel plant, whose surname is Xiao, is about the same age as Secretary Chu. However, he has not been at the steel plant as long as Secretary Chu. He was transferred here three years ago. His work ability can only be said to be average, and he is relatively approachable, but he does not have much temper.
But he also has advantages. He does a very good job in internal affairs. Compared with Secretary Chu's concern about the production of the factory, he cares more about the lives of the workers in the factory.
But this is also good. Secretary Chu himself is a person with a relatively strong personality, and he can handle many things at once. The two of them complement each other quite well, so there is no need to compete for power.>>Chapter 36
"Old Zhou, let me show you something good." Secretary Chu was not polite and directly opened the door of Director Zhou's office and went in.
Director Zhou had long been used to his partner's style. He put down what he was doing and looked up at him, "Can you show me anything good?"
Director Zhou looked unbelieving. Every time this person says something good is not a good thing, there are only so many good things.
Secretary Chu was a little embarrassed, well, it seemed that he had indeed asked the people in front of him to do a lot of difficult tasks.
"Ahem, this is really a good thing. As for whether we can successfully find the money to buy equipment from the superiors, you can see first." Secretary Chu pulled up a chair and sat in front of the other party, carefully handing over the report in his hand. .
Seeing how careful he was, Director Zhou also became curious. He reached out and took it, but the first thing he noticed was the words on it.
"Hey, this calligraphy is really good!" The iron-painted silver hook floats like floating clouds, and there is no stagnation when turning the pen. It has a unique style, is strong but does not lose its beauty. It is indeed a good calligraphy.
Director Zhou himself was born in a scholarly family, so unlike Secretary Chu, he just thought the handwriting was good and paid more attention to the content. Now I will pay more attention to the words.
It can be seen from these words that the person who wrote the calligraphy must also be good at calligraphy and write very well.
Secretary Chu was also helpless. He had no choice but to lose his temper, so he had to say: "Who told you to read the words? Hurry up and read the content."
Although Director Zhou was happy to see Hunter, he was not a person who didn't know the importance of it, so he forced himself He moved his attention away from the words and read the content inside.
After all, it was a long session. After a while, Director Zhou forgot about the words and concentrated on reading the report. Soon his eyes were filled with wonder and his mouth was filled with wonder!
"Well written here!"
"What? Is our energy consumption so high now?"
"Oh, this equipment must be bought and replaced, otherwise what will happen if something goes wrong? Our comrades workers have really worked hard. , working in such a dangerous environment every day."
"..."
Secretary Chu just listened to his words and had no intention of answering. Of course, Director Zhou didn't need anyone to answer. He just spoke out of his feelings. .
Director Zhou didn't say anything for a while after reading it, and Secretary Chu didn't rush him, just waited.
Director Zhou: "Is all the data here real?" As expected of a leader, he pays attention to the important points.
Secretary Chu's face was full of seriousness, "Of course it's all true. These are all statistics compiled by our technicians over the years." He told Director Zhou what Li Chengye had told him before.
Director Zhou was very happy when he heard this and nodded repeatedly, "That's great. If it can be like what is said in this report, then I'm sure we will get the money back."
He also looked confident now, After reading it just now, he felt very impulsive and had to replace these equipment at all costs. Otherwise, how could he be worthy of the efforts of the workers in their factory? It would be irresponsible for the safety of the workers in the factory.
Secretary Chu also nodded, he was also very confident. The two chatted for a while about the arrangements, and finally had a plan and a way to deal with it in advance.
Now that the business talk is over, it's naturally time to talk about something else. Director Zhou suddenly said to Secretary Chu: "You didn't write this report, did you? You can't write this kind of article. Tell me who is a capable person who can write for you and introduce me to him. When the time comes, he will also help me polish my articles and so on. My secretary is very good in other aspects, but that's it, alas..."
At this point, he sighed helplessly, how could anything be so perfect? There are flaws of one kind or another. His secretary and he were also surnamed Zhou, so they were from the same clan. He is calm and reliable, but even with his literary talent, there is really nothing he can do about it.
Secretary Chu never thought that he would actually say this, and he immediately felt like his things were being coveted. This feeling was really uncomfortable.
He pretended to be very calm and said: "There's nothing you can do, it's just luck. You'd better train Secretary Zhou more in the future! Maybe one day you can become a good writer!"
This Li Chengye But he is a rare talent, capable and calm, and he has previous military experience. He is a rare and reliable person. Naturally, he doesn't want anyone to take him away. Why don't he cover it up in his own circle for a while?
Director Zhou couldn't see what he was thinking, and immediately said angrily: "Oh, if it's so easy to train one, then you train the person and give it to me, and then you train one yourself. But you are as good as ever. "Hey, I don't know about you. There must be such a person. The calmer you act, the more guilty you are."
"Oh, really not." Secretary Chu still smiled after being exposed. Anyway, as long as I don't. Admit it, then you can't do anything to me.
Director Zhou was not angry at all, he just said slowly: "Hey, don't get too complacent. I can guess it even if you don't tell me."
"They must not be from our factory committee, right?" Director Zhou finished speaking. Then he glanced at Secretary Chu, but he continued to say, "I don't know anything."
Director Zhou thought about some of the people who had appeared recently and said, "With your personality, you will definitely not let someone who has nothing to do with you do this, so it is definitely not someone outside the factory committee. Then you can only He is someone who has recently joined the factory committee. Did you just recruit a secretary? It seems his name is Li Chengye. It should be him. It seems that he had an article published by the provincial newspaper before. I have also read it. The article is very good. It looks like it was written by one person. "
Everyone has their own writing style, and if you don't change it deliberately, it can still be seen.
Secretary Chu didn't expect that he would guess it right away, but he still wasn't so panicked. Anyway, it's impossible for people to give anything, no matter what.
He just smiled and said: "You also know that it is difficult to cultivate talents, and it is rare for me to have someone who is suitable for me, so don't try to compete with me." Even if he was exposed, he looked very calm, which annoyed Zhou. The factory director couldn't help but slander him in his heart.
"Oh, it's really him! This young man is really good. I heard that most of the previous Mid-Autumn Festival parties were planned by him?" Putting the slander against Secretary Chu aside for now, Director Zhou is now more interested in Li Chengye. curious.
Secretary Chu nodded: "Yes, it's him. I just asked him to go through the union yesterday. Lao Wan is in terrible pain. I mentioned it to him once before, but he pretended not to hear it."
When Director Zhou saw him like this, he knew that he must be very satisfied with Li Chengye, but he still asked: "It seems that you are very satisfied with him? This is rare. Your previous secretary has never seen you like this." What kind of attitude?"
Secretary Chu smiled: "Initially, I am quite satisfied. I know how to look at my eyes, know how to act, and I don't seem to be impetuous at all now." After all, I have just
been exposed to it for a while . Given the time, it is certainly impossible for Secretary Chu to finalize his thoughts on Li Chengye now, but judging from the two days of contact, there is nothing that makes him dissatisfied.
It's rare for Director Zhou to see him commenting on a person like this, and all he talks about is his character. It seems like he is indeed a good candidate. I couldn't help but say: "There's one more thing you didn't mention. The talent must be very outstanding. We don't want to get so much data. It seems that we old men are really old and don't have the brains of those young people. I just like to follow the old rules when doing things. From now on, it's all about those young people! We still need to listen to their opinions more."
After finishing speaking, he sighed deeply, with a hint of regret in his tone. It's a pity that when they were young, they would rush forward with enthusiasm and all sorts of strange thoughts in their minds. As long as they felt right, they would do it. But now they have more and more worries and are becoming more and more worried. Don't dare to try new things.
Secretary Chu understands what he means, but their personalities are different. He is already this age, but his heart is still full of fire. He thinks that he is still very young and can still work for at least twenty more years until he is seventy years old. It would be great to make their steel factory famous throughout the country.
Secretary Chu: "Hey, what are you talking about all day long? We are only in our early forties, and it is still early to retire. Although our minds are not as flexible as those of young people, we are leaders and are good at accepting the opinions of others." That's it. You're right about that. We should accept the opinions of young people more in the future."
We have known each other for several years, and Director Zhou naturally knew Secretary Chu. He could only smile when he heard this. "Okay, you're right, I can't be stronger than you. But you must lend me Comrade Li Chengye from time to time. You, the secretary, can't make every report beautiful and clean, but I, the factory director, can't do it beautifully and cleanly every time. It's a mess, isn't it? We are just grasshoppers on the same rope. The contrast will be too sharp, and it won't look good on everyone!"
His words were half threatening and half pleading, which made Secretary Chu really confused for a moment. I don't know how to refuse. Although I know that he will definitely not mess up the report, the gap is too big and it is really not good-looking. Besides, Lao Zhou has indeed been having a headache because of this matter.
After thinking for a while, he finally compromised and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, let's do this. If there are any important external meeting reports in the future, I will ask Secretary Li to prepare a manuscript for you, okay?"
Director Zhou But it was rare to take advantage of Secretary Chu, so he was naturally satisfied. "Okay, it's settled, don't regret it!"
Secretary Chu didn't want to talk to him after hearing this, but he could still regret it, No matter how you say it, he is the secretary of a large factory with a thousand employees.

Chapter 37
At this time, Li Chengye didn't know that his new boss had given him another job. He had already finished writing the end of the report and handed it to Secretary Chu, so his first job here was also It was successfully completed.
Li Chengye was quite satisfied with his report. Of course, Secretary Chu was even more satisfied. However, Secretary Chu did not immediately ask him to do the next thing. Instead, he handed him a large stack of information for Li Chengye to familiarize himself with first. The situation in the factory.
Therefore, Li Chengye is looking at various internal information in the factory. He had no access to these in the labor union before. At most, he can understand the situation announced to the outside world. Internal detailed information like this is a no-brainer. That is to say, he could only have access to these materials when he became Secretary Chu's secretary.
Li Chengye slowly looked at the information and wrote down a lot of things in his notebook with a pen from time to time. To be honest, the current situation of the steel plant is not very good, and there are many problems. If there was no strong backing and no competition, it would definitely be very dangerous.
The machinery and equipment are backward, the process is complicated, there is a lack of management sense, responsibilities are not clear, safety issues are not taken seriously, the factory products are single, lack of technical content, the quality is not very good, etc...
Of course, there are some things worthy of praise. Almost most of the workers are quite enthusiastic about their work. Although the working environment is not very good, most of them have no complaints. Although they lack the sense of management, middle-level cadres are relatively responsible and their work is completed to a relatively high degree.
Leaders like Secretary Chu also pay more attention to the workers below, which is quite fair.
If he was asked to make suggestions, he could list one, two, three, four, and five, but the change is not as simple as one, two, three, four, and five. It involves too much. If he doesn't say whether it is suitable for the current situation, he will just say that he is in this position now. , there is indeed too little that can be done.
Li Chengye is not depressed. The most important thing for him now is to complete the work assigned by Secretary Chu first, win his trust as soon as possible, and then slowly put forward some opinions. You must know that the secretary is a position that can easily influence the leader.
Li Chengye spent most of his time reading information, but he slowly started to get involved with things like Secretary Chu's schedule and the compilation of some information.
After all, it is a large factory with a thousand people. There are many things in the factory. Secretary Chu just signs a lot every day. Moreover, because Secretary Chu did not have a secretary before, things were a bit messy, and there were always some such omissions or errors.
As soon as Li Chengye came into contact, he had to check for leaks and fill in the gaps, but he was very busy and couldn't care about anything else for the moment. However, after all, he had the ability, but no mistakes were made.
Secretary Chu has been feeling much more comfortable during this time. He has never found a suitable secretary before. He has to do everything by himself. There are many things to do. More importantly, the people below will not tell him what he is anxious about or what he is worried about. It's not urgent, but it's very annoying when he doesn't have to take a break.
Now that he has Li Chengye, he feels relieved. The documents handed in are all arranged in order of priority, and many of the information have been sorted out. He only needs to focus on the key points. Li Chengye helped with the itinerary, so he didn't have to worry about it. You know, he had arranged for two people to be at the same time before, which was really embarrassing.
Secretary Chu was the number one person in charge of the steel factory. The news that he had a new secretary naturally attracted a lot of attention, and a lot more people were asking about Li Chengye. Especially the middle-level cadres in the factory, compared with the workers in the factory, they often interact with Li Chengye, so during this period, many people came to him to build relationships, and it should be said that they looked familiar to him.
Li Chengye also understands that these things are inevitable, and naturally he will not refuse. Those people want to know some of Secretary Chu's thoughts through Li Chengye, get some convenience, or let Li Chengye say something nice in front of Secretary Chu.
And Li Chengye can naturally achieve many goals through them. This is a society of relationships. No matter what those people think, he can at least get some information from those people. Knowing more people will make it easier to do anything in the future. These are also connections.
Li Chengye thrived in the factory committee, and Hu Liren was busy in the labor union. He had already written a report about setting up a blind date and handed it to Chairman Wan. Chairman Wan was very supportive and wanted him to do it immediately.
But contacting textile and garment factories is a troublesome task. You also have to do publicity in the factory and compile a list of personnel, which is not an easy task. Planning and arrangements cannot be made overnight.
He had Li Chengye help him at the Mid-Autumn Festival party before, so he felt confident, but he was very tired at this time by himself. Vice Chairman Xu wanted Comrade Jiang Lan to help him, but how could he dare to accept it? Given the character of that female comrade, he would definitely be the one to make the decision.
Chairman Wan naturally knew Comrade Jiang Lan's character, so he politely refused, saying that she had a heavy task and could just concentrate on what she was doing.
Of course, Hu Liren was not solely responsible for this matter. Chairman Wan still arranged for two helpers for him, but they were both new to the union. Perhaps it was because of the previous activities that Chairman Wan saw the development direction of the union, and also because Li Chengye left. So I recruited two more people to join the union, thinking about doing something in the future.
The two newcomers are a boy and a girl. They are both newly recruited high school students with no work experience at all. As soon as he entered the union, he was assigned to Hu Liren.
Both of them are young people in their twenties. They finally entered the steel factory, so they were naturally very happy. At the beginning, I was quite enthusiastic about work, but I had little work experience, so it was impossible for me to help Hu Liren pay some attention, so I could only help run errands and handle chores. He has been busy running around outside during this period and rarely eats in the cafeteria. He has not seen Li Chengye for several days.
"Li Zi." Li Chengye just entered the cafeteria, but he didn't expect to see Hu Liren at the door. Li Chengye had been busy with his own affairs during this period and had no time to pay attention to him. It's rare that I encountered it today.
Hu Liren was also very happy to see Li Chengye. He went over and hugged him with great enthusiasm. Li Chengye felt a little unbearable, so he pushed him away with his hands.
Hu Liren sighed helplessly, "I think you are too disrespectful. We haven't seen each other for several days, don't you miss me?"
Li Chengye felt that this person was getting more and more out of place, "With so many people, you You have to pay attention to your image. You are a small cadre now. I heard that you have two soldiers, so you have to be more careful!"
Hu Liren could only act like he surrendered, "What kind of leader am I? Now, you don't look like a polished commander, those two still look like children."
He said the words in a low voice, only Li Chengye could hear them.
Li Chengye was really speechless and could only say: "Okay, let's go get some food first and find a place to talk slowly later."
"Okay." The two of them didn't waste much time. The lunch box went to a place where there was no one.
Sitting casually on the grass under the tree, Hu Liren didn't have to go anywhere else today, so he didn't care whether his clothes were dirty.
"What's the situation now? I heard that a lot of young men of the right age have come to sign up for this blind date conference?" Li Chengye asked casually while eating.
Hu Liren sighed, "Don't mention it. There are quite a few young men, but not so many young women. Our factory has five people signed up now. There are only a hundred female workers in the textile factory, and there are only one in the garment factory. "Hundred, this gap is really not small."
The man must be willing to go on a group blind date. After all, if he can bring the girl to participate, the betrothal gifts and so on will definitely not be too embarrassing. Those girls may not all be willing. You must know that nowadays there are many children in the family. Girls, especially girls with jobs, will earn money for their parents' families for a while, and naturally they will not get married very early.
The other one is the bride price. It is naturally easier to negotiate with a matchmaker alone to introduce the bride price. If it is an organizational matchmaking, it would be really difficult for the lion to open his mouth. When the time comes and it is a collective wedding, there will naturally be many people who are not willing to come. There are some girls who want to participate, but their families don't agree, so there's nothing they can do. This gap is really big.
Hu Liren also had a headache. There couldn't be five hundred young men and only two hundred girls. Then the scene would not look good, so it would be better if it was about the same.
Li Chengye listened patiently to what he said, then thought for a while, ate a few mouthfuls of food, and then continued: "Is this the only problem?"
Hu Liren shook his head, "But it's not just that, there is also the problem of funding. I mean if If a couple really gets married, our steel factory will give a set of clothes to the bride attending the collective wedding. But when it comes to paying for it..."
Hu Liren glanced at him with an expression that you also know.
Li Chengye nodded, "This can indeed promote the enthusiasm of both men and women, but money is indeed an issue, but we can discuss this with the other two factories. I remember that textile factories and clothing factories generally have defective products. , But it's just a minor problem, and it shouldn't cost much to ask them to help out when the time comes."
After all, friendship is a good thing for both factories. You must know that the workers in their steel plants are still in the marriage market. More popular. It is said that having a family and a career, a harmonious family life is helpful to work.
Hu Liren seemed to have been awakened, and immediately said in surprise: "Hey, you are right, you can do this. Although it is a defective product, it is not a big problem. It must be possible."
>>
Chapter 38
Hu Liren did not expect that Li Chengye would give him a good suggestion at this moment, and quickly asked: "What should we do if there are too few women?" He also thought that maybe Li Chengye had a way to solve this big problem. question.
Li Chengye thought for a while and felt that this problem was not easy to solve. Except for textile factories and garment factories where there were many girls, there would definitely be no people from other factories who would be willing to socialize with them. You must know that those factories are also short of suitable girls, so naturally they will not let the fertilizer flow into the fields of outsiders.
"Why don't we limit the number of people here? After all, this kind of event will not be held only once, and it will be decided as usual." Seeing that Li Chengye didn't speak, Hu Liren came up with an idea.
Li Chengye rolled his eyes at him, "You have asked people to sign up now, how can you still tell them not to go? Besides, how are you going to screen the number of people? Don't offend people." There was no limit at the beginning. The number of people is so easy to deal with now.
Hu Liren thought about it and felt that it was the same, and there was nothing he could do for a while.
Suddenly, Li Chengye thought of someone, and he immediately said to Hu Liren: "This person may only be found in various factories. We also have the street office that can help!"
Hu Liren still didn't react, and asked strangely: " Can the sub-district office help?"
Li Chengye smiled: "The sub-district office is very useful. They know very well which families have unmarried girls, especially those like Aunt Ji and others, let alone you. You can definitely ask them for help, there must be a lot of them."
Hu Liren didn't think of this just now, and he was very happy now, "Hey, if you don't tell me, I haven't thought of Aunt Ji, she and many people from the street office. We all have good relationships." There are some women like these from each sub-district office. They know a lot of people, and they often work as matchmakers.
But he thought of another question, "Are they willing to help? They have to pay the matchmaker to find a matchmaker themselves."
Li Chengye had already thought of a way to solve the problem, "What we are doing this time is a blind date, you You don't want to be the matchmaker yourself, do you? You must find some matchmakers to come over and adjust the atmosphere. Can you just invite Aunt Ji and the others to come, and then pay a small amount of matchmaking fee for the success? That's definitely not the case. There will be some people who won't. "
Nowadays, young men and women are not that proactive in their relationships, and a matchmaker is definitely indispensable. It would be better to invite some matchmakers.
After Li Chengye finished speaking, he immediately continued: "You are directly cooperating with the sub-district office in the name of the factory. After all, we are the largest factory in the county. Otherwise, you can ask Chairman Wan to go to the county to build relationships." What Li Chengye
believes in is When doing things, you must consider the resources available around you. Of course, this does not mean purely using others, but only win-win cooperation.
Hu Liren really hadn't thought about what Li Chengye said, and now he felt that he had missed something very important. I couldn't help but feel a little upset.
"Oh, it's better for you. I don't even have anyone to discuss it with. Thinking about it makes my head hurt."
Li Chengye had already finished his meal, put away his lunch box, stood up, and used He patted his shoulder twice and said, "You! Don't be discouraged. Just do it a few more times and it'll be fine!"
Li Chengye felt that he had made a lot of progress, but Hu Liren's family conditions were already good, but he just kept Studying, in the past few years, I lived a life like a pension, lacking thinking and not going through much, but now I am doing very well. The most important thing is that I already have a goal, and the look in my eyes is brighter.
After saying this, the two of them stopped chatting here. Everyone was busy with their own things.
Li Chengye returned to his office after eating. Not long after he sat down, Secretary Chu also came back after eating. When he passed by Li Chengye's door, he paused and said to him: "I am going to the county government with Director Zhou in the afternoon. You will come with us then."
Li Chengye nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Secretary, what is it about?" It's time to set off. I asked the driver to prepare the car."
Secretary Chu thought for a moment, "Let's set off at two o'clock!"
"Okay." Li Chengye noted the time and looked at his watch. It was already past twelve forty. , you should hurry up and talk to the driver first.
Secretary Chu was about to leave after explaining the matter, but suddenly he remembered his previous thoughts and returned to Li Chengye's door. "By the way, you go find Master Qian and the two of them and bring them the notebook they used to record the equipment data." ."
"Understood." It seems that I have to go to the county to apply for equipment to attract funds.
When Secretary Chu returned to his office, Li Chengye went out immediately. He first went to find the driver in the factory. Their factory is also considered a big factory. Not only does it have its own fleet of trucks, but it also has two cars. Cars are very rare nowadays.
These two cars are usually used by the secretary, factory director, and deputy factory director in turns. Of course, the two presidents of the labor union can also use them, but they use them less.
Therefore, reservations are usually required in advance, but today Secretary Chu and Director Zhou are going out together, so Li Chengye is not too worried about not having a car. There is always a car reserved for these two.
He walked to the parking area. There was a small bungalow over there, where drivers usually stayed. As soon as Li Chengye passed by, he saw two cars parked there. It seemed that no leaders in the factory had gone out today.
He walked directly into the house, leaving the door open.
The two drivers must have just finished their meal and were taking a nap on the table. When they heard the sound of someone coming in, they immediately came over.
"Secretary Li, why are you here? Does Secretary Chu want to use the car?" One of the taller ones asked first.
"Secretary Li, are you anxious? I'll go check the car right away?" The other one didn't want to be left behind, so he hurriedly spoke up.
They are originally drivers who drive for their leaders, so they naturally need to know the secretaries around them.
Li Chengye also greeted them with a smile and said directly: "Secretary Chu and Director Zhou are going to the county government at two o'clock. You can discuss which one is more convenient and drive there later." Li Chengye knew what they were thinking. Of course I won't interfere with them, I just told them the purpose of coming here. Whoever is driving is not driving anyway.
"Convenient, convenient, I'll definitely drive there on time later." The taller one agreed immediately. Both of them want to get acquainted with the leader, not to mention what benefits they will get, but it will definitely be beneficial.
The other one also nodded quickly, but then he continued: "Is Secretary Li okay now? Why don't you sit here for a while?" They all stood up when Li Chengye came in just now, and now he pulled up a chair and I would like to ask Li Chengye to stay a little longer.
Li Chengye shook his head and refused with a smile: "Next time! I have to do other things right now, and I really don't have time."
Li Chengye said so, so naturally the two drivers would not delay him any longer. Li Chengye then went to the steelmaking workshop. When he arrived at his office, he had five or six more notebooks in his hands, which were all recorded by Master Qian and others.
At two o'clock, Secretary Chu and Factory Director Zhou got into the car at the door of the factory committee office building. Today's driver was the taller one, whose surname was Lan. He was already waiting downstairs at 1:50. When he saw someone coming down, he immediately opened the car doors.
Secretary Chu was still holding his briefcase in his hand. It was bulging with a lot of stuff, including a few notebooks. Director Zhou's hands were empty, while Li Chengye only had a small notebook and a pen in his pocket.
Li Chengye wanted to help Secretary Chu get his briefcase, but he was rejected, as if there was a treasure inside.
Li Chengye sat in the passenger seat, Secretary Chu and Director Zhou sat in the back. Probably because they were afraid that the car would be too crowded, Director Zhou's secretary was not with them, and there were only four of them in the car.
Because there was still a driver around, it was not convenient for Secretary Chu and the others to talk, and they were very quiet along the way. It took about twenty minutes to drive to the county government, which was not too far. The main reason was that there were no people on the road at this time, and the road was smooth.
Secretary Chu and the others were originally going to the county government for a meeting today, but they went there for half an hour early today and wanted to talk to the county party committee secretary first.
The car drove all the way into the yard of the county government. It was Li Chengye's first time here and he was not familiar with the location. However, Secretary Chu and Director Zhou got off the car and went directly to the office of the county party secretary Fu.
Of course, they did not knock on Secretary Fu's office door directly, but first asked his secretary. After informing Secretary Chu and others, they went in, leaving Li Chengye alone outside.
However, because people often come here for meetings, secretaries and the like also have special resting places.
Secretary Fu's secretary, whose surname was Gao, took Li Chengye directly there.
"Secretary Li, this is the lounge. You can sit here for a while." Secretary Gao looked to be thirty years old. He wore glasses and was gentle and polite when he smiled. He had quite a temperament. of.
Although Li Chengye is just the secretary of the factory director, his attitude is also very good.
Naturally, Li Chengye would not give up this opportunity to make friends, and said quickly: "Thank you, Secretary Qiu, it's really troublesome for you!"
Secretary Qiu smiled, "It's not troublesome. I know you!"
Hearing this, Li Chengye felt a little strange. He could remember it. If there is no memory of this person, he must have remembered it wrong. I couldn't have seen him at the Mid-Autumn Festival Party, but it seemed that I went to the county magistrate at that time. Secretary Fu didn't go there, and naturally Secretary Gao probably didn't go there either. Then it was impossible to see him at the party. Li Chengye was surprised and couldn't figure out how this person knew him.>>
Chapter 39
Secretary Gao saw that he was confused, but did not show off, and said quickly: "Are you Comrade Fu Boyang's high school classmate?"
Suddenly hearing this name, Li Chengye was a little bit unresponsive, and then he thought of the current Secretary Fu. It was Comrade Fu Boyang's father, Comrade Fu Boyang, who died fighting floods and rescue operations. He was one of his high school classmates and one of his good brothers.
As soon as this name was mentioned, the atmosphere became a little stagnant. Although Li Chengye had seen a lot of life and death, he still felt a little regretful for that young life. After a while, he said: "Yes."
In his memory, Li Chengye had indeed been to Fu Boyang's. We have played together several times at home, but I have only met Fu's mother, not Secretary Fu. I must have never dealt with Secretary Fu's secretary. Besides, it has been many years. Even if I have not met him, I have not met him. I should have forgotten it a long time ago!
Perhaps aware of Li Chengye's doubts, Secretary Gao explained: "Secretary Fu has a photo of you and Comrade Fu Boyang. He keeps it in the office, so I know you guys. You see. The clothes and photos haven't changed much. "
Secretary Gao has indeed never met Li Chengye, but he has a very good relationship with Fu Boyang. The reason why he knows about Li Chengye is because Fu Boyang told him. The reason why I got to know Li Chengye was indeed because of the photo. This photo can be said to be a very precious thing of Secretary Fu, and it is also the only photo of Comrade Fu Boyang.
Li Chengye naturally remembered what kind of photo it was. It was taken by several people together in the year they graduated, in order to commemorate that period of friendship. He each has one in his hand. In this era, unless they are getting married, generally no one will take pictures. Fu Boyang has died, and that photo may indeed be his last photo.
Li Chengye finally understood the matter and said with some sigh: "Things have changed and people have changed!"
Secretary Gao also looked a little sad, "Comrade Boyang is so young..."
He did not say the next words, but But both of them understood the unfinished meaning behind it.
The two sat together and chatted for a while, mostly talking about Fu Boyang. Secretary Gao had been with Secretary Fu for a long time and had a good relationship with Fu Boyang, so his attitude towards Li Chengye was also very good. We can talk a lot, and we are quite familiar with each other.
However, there was a meeting coming soon, and Secretary Gao had to go to work. He left after talking to Li Chengye for less than ten minutes, leaving Li Chengye sitting alone in the room drinking tea.
Within a few minutes, several more people came in, all secretaries of various factory leaders, but Li Chengye didn't recognize any of them.
They should know each other. They immediately found a place to sit and chat, and looked in Li Chengye's direction from time to time.
Li Chengye just sat there and had no intention of getting acquainted immediately.
Just as Li Chengye thought, there were five people sitting together. They were all secretaries of several factory secretaries in the county, Secretary Gong from the mining factory, Secretary Cheng from the textile factory, Secretary Zhang from the clothing factory, and Secretary Xiao from the food factory. , and Secretary Xiong from the Meat Factory.
They were all acquaintances, so when they saw a stranger in the house, they felt very suspicious.
Secretary Gong: "Which of you knows this? I have no impression at all?"
The other four people shook their heads, indicating that they did not know him.
Secretary Zhang: "Hey, is he the new secretary of Secretary Chu of the steel plant? I just saw the steel plant's car in the yard."
Secretary Xiong: "Isn't it possible? Secretary Chu didn't bring a secretary with him last time. How many days ago?" Oh my God?"
Secretary Cheng said: "Maybe, the people who can be here are not just idlers. If they are not from one of our factories, they must be from the steel factory. Director Zhou has never heard of the change. Secretary."
Several people discussed quietly for a while, but still couldn't reach a conclusion. Secretary Gong thought for a while and said to everyone: "Okay, please keep your voice down no matter where this is. Don't worry about this. We can wait for later. I know."
However, although they were all curious, they had no intention of going up to say hello. The position of secretary is not something that can be secured immediately. They will take the initiative after seeing each other several times and confirming it. forward.
Those few people didn't take the initiative to come forward, and Li Chengye naturally had no intention of approaching them. He just sat quietly, and the place became quiet for a while.
Today's meeting was not very long, but it was almost an hour. The people who came here were also experienced, and they all went outside to wait for their leaders around the same time.
Li Chengye also followed him out, and the leaders of each factory walked out of the conference room on the first floor one after another. Li Chengye waited for a while, but did not see Secretary Chu and Director Zhou coming out. Until everyone had left, the door of the conference room opened. He was locked up from the inside again.
"Secretary Li, Secretary Chu and the others haven't come out yet?" The driver probably saw everyone from other factories leaving, but he didn't wait for Li Chengye and the others, so he came over.
"It's not over yet, it should take a while." Li Chengye kept staring at the movement over there, and indeed no one came out.
Hearing this, the driver stopped talking. After all, we were here, so it was better to keep quiet. The two stood quietly. After almost twenty minutes, the door of the conference room was finally opened, and Secretary Chu and Director Zhou walked out with a man in their arms.
The man looked to be in his fifties, and his hair had turned white. Perhaps because he often had a serious face, there were deep grooves on his face. It looked like he had experienced a lot of wind and rain.
"Okay, let's just do it this way? You guys can get it started when you get back and think about what kind of equipment you want to put in?" That person was Secretary Fu, the secretary of the county party committee.
"I understand, don't worry about this, but the city needs to trouble you? There is still a lot of funding gap!" Secretary Chu looked at him with a smile on his face. Obviously, the purpose of coming here today has been achieved.
"That's right, Secretary Fu, we don't have anyone we can talk to in the city, so you have to step in, so we're all pointing at you!" Director Zhou also laughed, and the two of them In just a few words, Secretary Fu was given another important task.
Secretary Fu didn't mind at all and nodded directly, "Okay, since I have agreed to this matter, I will naturally be responsible to the end. As for you, you must do things well. But this equipment replacement does not take a day. What happened in two days, judging from your report, there are many problems with this batch of equipment. You must pay attention to it and make sure no accidents occur. This year is already halfway through, and I don't want to hear any bad news. "
Secretary Fu became more serious as he spoke, and the people around him naturally listened very seriously.
"Yes, we will make arrangements after we get back to ensure there are no safety problems." Secretary Chu also attached great importance to this issue, and naturally nodded firmly in agreement.
"That's fine, then I won't keep you here. Go back quickly. I will inform you if there is any news from the city." Secretary Fu was satisfied. He looked at the time. Secretary Chu and the others were so disturbed today. He has something urgent to do later.
"Okay."
After Secretary Fu finished speaking to them, he was about to leave with others, and happened to pass by Li Chengye. Secretary Gao followed him and naturally saw Li Chengye. He whispered something behind his ear, and Secretary Fu's eyes fell on Li Chengye.
Although he knew that this person was the father of his late friend, Li Chengye had no intention of coming forward to recognize him. After all, this person was the top leader of their county. It would not be good to go up to him directly like this. It might also expose the family's feelings about the loss of their son. pain. He just planned to smile politely at the person, nod his head, and say hello.
Unexpectedly, Secretary Fu smiled at him very kindly and nodded in return.
The driver standing beside him also saw it and immediately laughed excitedly, "Oh my God, Secretary Fu is so kind. He even said hello to me!" The two were very close, and this one was so kind. I thought that smile was for him.
Li Chengye didn't explain. Secretary Chu and Factory Director Zhou were coming soon. He hurriedly said to the driver: "Secretary Chu and the others are here. Drive the car over quickly!"
"Hey, that's right." The driver panicked. He ran away in a panic, but it was not far from the parking place. When Secretary Chu and the others came over, Li Chengye had already opened the car doors.
The two of them were obviously in a good mood, and the smiles on their faces did not disappear after they got in the car. The car started and drove slowly towards the steel factory.
It was quiet for a while, and suddenly Director Zhou looked at Li Chengye and asked with a smile: "Secretary Li, have you known Secretary Gao before?" He and Secretary Chu had been observing Secretary Fu just now, without leaving Secretary Gao watching. In the scene where Li Chengye was talking to Secretary Fu, Secretary Fu's smile when he looked at Li Chengye was naturally not missing.
Li Chengye didn't react at first, and didn't know what to say for a moment, so he seemed a little silent.
Director Zhou was a little strange, "What? Isn't it convenient to say it? If it's not convenient, forget it."
Li Chengye shook his head, "It's not inconvenient. Secretary Gao and I didn't know each other before, we just had a common acquaintance."
Director Zhou Now he was even more curious, "Who is he? He can't be related to Secretary Fu, right?"
Li Chengye nodded, "I was a classmate of Secretary Fu's son when I was in high school, and we had a pretty good relationship." This is nothing. Li Chengye naturally did not hide the secret, and he had no intention of using this relationship to achieve any purpose.
Secretary Chu, who had been silent all this time, was also surprised, "Secretary Fu's son, I remember that Secretary Fu only had one son. Didn't he already..."
He didn't say the next words, but everyone already understood. Li Chengye was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Yes, that's the one, Comrade Fu Boyang who has sacrificed his life.">>
Next chapter: Chapter 40
Director Zhou just now thought that if Li Chengye really had a good relationship with Secretary Gao, he might get some conveniences in the future. Of course, he would not do anything bad, but he would just go to the county to find someone. More convenient. But this time, the thought in his mind had completely disappeared. Some people and connections should never be used.
There was a period of silence after that, but it didn't last long. Soon Director Zhou and Secretary Chu started talking again, but they were closer and their voices were lower. Li Chengye didn't hear anything, and of course he wouldn't pay attention. Go and listen.
As Secretary Chu and the others returned to the factory, many orders were quickly arranged, and the news that the factory needed to replace new equipment was immediately spread. Of course, this is not the first time this matter has been brought up, but it has been shelved due to financial reasons. This meeting finally has confirmed news, and everyone in the factory is very happy.
Of course, equipment is not that easy to buy. Nowadays, the more advanced equipment for steel smelting is imported from abroad. In recent years, their relationship with countries M and D has been good. There is no problem in this regard, but what about importing? The equipment, equipment model, price and transportation method need to be discussed and negotiated many times.
For several days, there were continuous meetings at the steel plant. The equipment that needed to be replaced had been decided, but there was endless debate about which country to buy it from and which model to import. Some people think that we should go from country M, which is closer and the price is more favorable. Some people think that they should buy from country D. Although it is much farther away, the quality is very good and the technology is more advanced. Some people think that they should come from country R, which has good quality and low price.
Now Li Chengye is also eligible to participate in these meetings, but of course he only goes in to take some notes. He felt that these people had missed the point. They did not say whether those countries would sell them the best equipment. Even if they were willing to sell it, the price might not be what their steel plants could afford. This is no small matter.
Secretary Chu was also troubled by these people. Li Chengye was reporting to Secretary Chu on the work arrangements for the past few days in the office when he heard a burst of excited shouts from outside.
"Old Chu, Old Chu, something good is happening! A great thing is coming! A great thing!" It was Director Zhou who opened the door and ran in. There was a smile on his face, and he didn't care that Li Chengye was still standing in the room. He walked to Secretary Chu in a few steps and started talking hurriedly.
It was rare for Secretary Chu to see him like this, so he was very curious. He waved his hand and asked Li Chengye to wait aside for a while, and then asked helplessly: "What good thing is this? Me! I'm almost dying of worry now!" After saying this, he was deeply moved. Sighed.
Director Zhou was in a hurry just now, but now he was like a duck with his mouth shut. He slowly pulled up a chair and sat down, and proudly raised his eyebrows at Secretary Chu, "Guess what? ?"
Secretary Chu frowned helplessly, "Look, I'm still in the mood to play guessing games!"
Li Chengye stood aside with an expression on his face. Since Secretary Chu didn't let him go out, he could only stand here. Listen up.
Director Zhou smiled, "Just take a guess, it's easy to guess!"
Secretary Chu said nothing.
Director Zhou had nothing to do when he saw this. Besides, he was not a person who could hide his words for a long time. After a while, he said hurriedly: "Hey, forget it, I'll tell you. What's going on in the county?" There's news from the side, do you know what it said?"
Secretary Chu finally became interested, "What did you say?" In fact, he already had a guess in his mind, but he didn't know if it was what he thought.
"The city has agreed to allocate a sum of money to us, estimated to be 300,000 yuan." Director Zhou said and excitedly compared the numbers to Secretary Chu, with a very vivid expression on his face.
"Three hundred thousand?" Secretary Chu was also shocked. He had hoped to get one hundred thousand back from the city, but now he actually had three times the funds, which would make their purchasing plan more abundant. .
Director Zhou nodded quickly, "Yes, it's 300,000. I heard that Secretary Fu went to the city several times to get it for us. Plus the 100,000 given by the county, it's 400,000. This But it's a huge sum of money."
"Yes, that's right." Secretary Chu was also excited at this moment. Their factory can still provide some funds, and it is estimated that they can get three or four sets together. New equipment is back. He mentally calculated the funds that the factory could set aside, and his mood suddenly became happy.
Li Chengye was also a little surprised. In this era, prices are extremely low. Many people don't even have savings of 300, let alone 300,000. This is already a huge sum of money, and it seems that they can get a lot back. equipment. It seems that the steel plant will develop in the future. Li Chengye is also a little anxious at the moment. He just doesn't know if the equipment they purchase will go abroad. It would be a good thing if he can go and have a look.
Secretary Chu and the others were happy for a while and then brought up business again.
Secretary Chu said seriously: "We have two very important issues now. The first is the purchase of equipment. Of course, this cannot be solved in a short time. The other is the issue of production safety. The current batch of equipment It should have been eliminated, but the current situation is like this, production cannot be separated, so the risk is relatively high."
Director Zhou also regained his seriousness and nodded seriously, "This matter is indeed very dangerous. I also received many calls from the county and city today, all of them urging us to do a good job in safety-related work. I heard that there was a steel plant in Jinan Province, and a blast furnace exploded, causing many casualties.
" Here Factory Director Zhou sighed sadly. Although no one on their side died due to safety accidents, many people were injured on the job. Their positions as front-line workers are inherently dangerous positions and are very dangerous.
Secretary Chu is also helpless. Safety issues are inherently difficult to solve. The operation itself is risky. In addition, many workers rely on their experience to work. Now the tasks are heavy and the work is busy, and they don't have much time to watch. them.
Director Zhou said: "Why don't we use the radio to remind us often?"
Secretary Chu nodded, "This is also a method, but we can't just do this. Think about it, are there any other methods?"
Director Zhou said The director thought for a while and said, "Hey, how about we make some reminder signs in the workshop?"
Secretary Chu said: "Okay, it would be best to have some reminder signs in various places such as dormitories and canteens."
Director Zhou was thinking a lot. It was hurting, and he really couldn't think of anything else. "Hey, what other ways are there?"
Suddenly he saw Li Chengye standing on the side, "Hey, Secretary Li, I think you seem to have something." What are you talking about? Do you have any thoughts on this security issue? "
Li Chengye is not a stupid person, so he naturally has a lot of thoughts after hearing these words. Besides, this was something he had thought about before. He was just thinking about how to put forward his idea when he was suddenly stopped by Director Zhou. He was still a little unresponsive. After I understood what he said, I immediately felt that this was really whatever I wanted to do.
However, he did not immediately express his thoughts in detail. He just smiled and said: "I don't have any solution to the problem. I just have some small ideas."
Director Zhou was just joking, but there really was no such thing . Thinking that Li Chengye really had an idea, he was really surprised. He quickly said seriously: "Oh, you really have an idea, tell me."
After saying that, he glanced at Secretary Chu sideways.
Li Chengye naturally looked at Secretary Chu with his eyes. This person had not spoken yet. As a secretary, it was difficult for him to make any comments.
Secretary Chu was also very curious. He had gotten to know his secretary to a certain extent during this period. He knew that when he said he had an idea, it was certainly not a simple idea. Naturally, he also wanted to hear it and hurriedly said to him : "Secretary Li, please sit down first and talk slowly."
After speaking, he unnaturally straightened his body, straightened his back, and pointed his body in the direction of Li Chengye.
Li Chengye nodded in agreement. He couldn't finish his words for a while, so he pulled a chair over and sat opposite Secretary Chu and next to Factory Director Zhou.
Li Chengye organized his words in his mind, and then said seriously: "There are actually two safety issues we are talking about now. One is the original safety issue of the equipment, that is, the safety issue caused by the failure of the equipment itself. Also One of them is a safety failure caused by workers' operating errors.
"Our current equipment has certain risks because it is old and cannot be replaced for the time being, so we can only do frequent inspections and maintenance like Master Qian and others. " But in fact, there is no dedicated person to take charge of this equipment problem. Most of the time it depends on the technician's consciousness. I think it is best to arrange a dedicated person to be responsible for the inspection and maintenance of these equipment. Arrange a certain person to check and sign off every morning before going to work. , if there is a problem, the person in charge will be held accountable."
When Li Chengye said this, he looked at Director Zhou and Secretary Chu, waiting for their reactions.
Director Zhou frowned, "Isn't this too troublesome? It takes a lot of time to check every morning, right?"
Li Chengye said seriously: "Don't be afraid of trouble in this matter. If something goes wrong, it will be a big deal. Only in this way can the danger be eliminated. " Reduce it to the minimum."
Secretary Chu thought for a while and felt that although it would take some time, it was indeed the safest. He said to Director Zhou: "Let's do this, let the technicians in the factory arrange a shift. Every morning, two people go to inspect the equipment. Only after signing and confirming, can workers start work. Of course, this word cannot be signed randomly. If the person who signed the sign is fired directly because of equipment problems, we cannot be afraid of trouble. You agree. They told them to come an hour early every day, and the factory would give them subsidies."
