When he went to work the next day, Lin Fan had been sitting in the office for a long time when someone came into the office.

Chen Tao.

"Master, Director Yang is looking for you." Chen Tao said after coming in.

Lin Fan replied: "Um, Director Yang is looking for me? Did he say something?"

Chen Tao said: "No, just let me come over and call you."

"Okay, I know."

After receiving Lin Fan's reply, Chen Tao turned around and left Lin Fan's office to go about his own business.

Lin Fan soon arrived at Director Yang's office. When he entered the door and saw the smile on Director Yang's face, Lin Fan knew for sure that this must be a good thing.

Otherwise, Director Yang would definitely not have this expression.

So Lin Fan asked confidently and boldly: "Director, why are you looking for me? I heard Chen Tao said you were looking for me."

Factory Director Yang walked up to Lin Fan, smiled and patted his shoulder, saying: "Congratulations, congratulations. Xiao Lin, the superiors found out that you helped the factory renovate the old converter. The superiors think you did a good job.

Our factory's production capacity efficiency this year is also very impressive, and the superiors have decided to hold a commendation meeting for you."

"I came to you to ask you to prepare a speech for the commendation meeting in advance. The senior leaders and leaders from other areas will also come. You must perform well and show the style of our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill!"

Is there a commendation ceremony?

It seems that the people above also attach great importance to this reform, and my reputation has spread.

However, the rewards above are indeed relatively slow sometimes, and a lot of time has passed.

Lin Fan can also understand, after all, it needs to be carefully confirmed.

Lin Fan nodded: "Okay, then I will prepare tonight. But when will the commendation meeting be held?"

Director Yang said: "It will be the day after tomorrow, and I heard from DLD that there seems to be a reward specially prepared for you. I don't know what it is specifically."

Lin Fan was happy.

He said half-jokingly: "I brought a TV to the last commendation meeting in the factory, so the reward standards of the commendation meeting held by the leaders here must be higher than those in our factory, right?"

Director Yang just smiled and said nothing, but the meaning in his eyes was obviously positive.

This is a commendation meeting held by the superiors, so it will definitely not be shabby.

The two chatted for a while, and Lin Fan returned to the office.

Two days later, a new commendation meeting was held in the small square of the steel rolling mill.

Some leaders arrived early.

Many of them are high-ranking leaders in the region.

DLD sat among the leaders, waiting for the commendation meeting to begin.

Before the commendation ceremony started, he even went to see Lin Fan alone.

DLD said to him: "This time, the renovation of the old converter that you helped to carry out in the factory has attracted a lot of attention from the superiors. They sent technicians to come and test it. The result is that the efficiency of your new converter is improved compared to the previous old converter.

At least more than 20%."

"The leaders above attach great importance to this. You also know that our country's steel industry is in need of development now, and what is lacking is professionals like you. The leaders above want you to continue your efforts and continue to contribute to our country.

You have made great contributions to the steel industry, so this time I have specially asked me to arrange a commendation meeting for you. You must perform well then, don't be nervous, and don't have stage fright."

"No, our factory has held a commendation meeting for me a few days ago. With this experience, I will definitely not have stage fright."

Lin Fan smiled and said, being generous and not nervous at all.

DLD saw this and felt more satisfied with Lin Fan.

...

In front of the small square of the steel rolling mill, many workers gathered here, all curious about why another commendation meeting was held.

I remember that not long ago, the TV set that Director Yang awarded to Lin Fan was coveted by many people.

So why is there a new one now?

Is it possible that Deputy Director Lin has made any outstanding contributions to the steel rolling mill?

Everyone was curious.

Only some people who knew the news said: "Hey, this is different! The last time it was a commendation meeting in our factory, this time it was held by the superiors, and the specifications were different. It was much more advanced than the last time.

Got it!"

When the other workers heard this, they were deeply envious.

Being able to receive praise from superior leaders shows that Deputy Director Lin's future path will definitely be smooth.

In addition, he is still so young, and his future prospects are simply unlimited. He may even be better than Factory Director Yang.

This group of workers couldn't help but sigh that the difference between humans is simply greater than that between humans and dogs.

While the workers were discussing.

The commendation meeting began. The leaders sat in rows on the podium. In front of each person was a small sign with the name of the leader written on it.

Most of the workers have never heard of them, but they know they must be great people.

Everyone recognized the person among these leaders, as he seemed to have been here during the furnace opening ceremony before.

After all, DLD was busy with official duties and came to the factory very rarely. Except for some cadres in the factory, it was normal for the other workers not to recognize him.

On the stage, before the leaders spoke, Director Yang held the microphone first.

He said to the workers below: "Comrades, let us welcome the leaders with warm applause. Let the leaders see the enthusiasm and style of our steel workers!"

Bang bang bang bang.

There was a burst of warm applause from the audience

The workers were very enthusiastic. The leaders on the stage looked at it and smiled and nodded, very satisfied.

Steel workers are an important pillar of the steel industry, and it is good to have this kind of mental outlook.

After that, Director Yang said a few words and handed the microphone to DLD.

DLD stood up, first greeted the workers in the steel plant cordially, and then changed the topic to today's topic:

"Comrade workers, I believe you have seen that the converter in our factory has been transformed from an old, backward and low-efficiency converter into a new converter with very good efficiency."

"This technology is Comrade Lin Fan in our factory and has made a huge contribution to the national steel industry. Hereby, Comrade Lin Fan is commended here!"

What follows are some words of commendation.

Later, Lin Fan took the stage to deliver a speech.

All in all, the commendation meeting went very smoothly.

At the end, DLD took over the microphone again and said: "In addition to spiritual rewards, after research and decision, we also plan to give Comrade Lin Fan certain material rewards! We decided to give Comrade Lin Fan a bonus of 500 yuan and a computer.

refrigerator!"

The people in the audience were in an uproar.

These workers may not know how much a TV or a refrigerator costs. After all, many families cannot afford these large appliances, so naturally they have never understood them.

But 500 yuan is a real 500 yuan.

This is something everyone can feel.

How much does an ordinary worker earn per month?

More than thirty yuan.

Even for a level 8 fitter like Mr. Yi, his monthly salary is only 99 yuan.

Even Director Yang doesn't have much more than this.

In other words, the reward given to Lin Fan by the leaders was equivalent to a year's income of an ordinary worker.

This can be said to be a huge sum of money, which shocked these workers even more than the TV and refrigerator.

But in fact, for Lin Fan, TV sets and refrigerators are obviously better.

After all, in the 1960s, TV sets and refrigerators cost thousands.

And you can't buy it just by having money. If there is no corresponding receipt, you can't buy it even by having money.

In particular, Lin Fan was still thinking yesterday about what today's reward would be, and whether it would be a refrigerator.

After having a refrigerator, life becomes much more convenient.

Whether it is putting some vegetables, fruits, meat, or other iced snacks at home, it is very convenient. It is one of the few home appliances that can truly improve the quality of life.

Compared with refrigerators, televisions were not very attractive to Lin Fan.

He has watched too many Hollywood blockbusters and various TV series. The black and white TV of this era is really boring to him.

After DLD announced the prizes, Lin Fan came on stage to express his thanks and receive the prize.

Because the refrigerator was so big that several people couldn't carry it, so we arranged for someone to drive the refrigerator and Lin Fan back to the courtyard.
