After dinner, I helped Grandma Sun wash the dishes. As soon as she dried her hands, Uncle Gu called Song Yuanchao over to smoke a cigarette.

Jinling has always been one of the four hot stoves, and the weather is already getting hot in mid-June.

Sitting in the courtyard and feeling the evening breeze is much more comfortable than staying indoors.

Aunt Gu and her children were playing games in the courtyard. Grandma Sun sat aside and watched with a smile. Song Yuanchao and Uncle Gu were not far away, and they were chatting casually.

Uncle Gu is a director of the District Cultural Bureau. He likes to chat with Song Yuanchao about literary topics. Song Yuanchao is also very interested in these topics, so the two of them can talk about many aspects together.

After chatting for a while, they finished smoking a cigarette. When Uncle Gu reached out to touch another cigarette, Song Yuanchao quickly handed him one and then lit it for him.

"By the way, I've been forgetting to ask you these past few days. Didn't you go to work at Nandu Factory? How are you? Are you still used to work?" After lighting up his cigarette and taking a puff, Uncle Gu suddenly remembered this and asked casually.

"It's okay, I've only been here for a few days and I'm still getting familiar with it." Song Yuanchao replied with a smile.

"That's good. Nandu Factory is quite famous in Jinling. It's good to work in this factory. Besides, you have enough academic qualifications. You will be a cadre as soon as you join. There will definitely be opportunities for promotion in the future. After a few years of training, you can become a cadre.

There’s absolutely no problem with section chief or anything like that.”

Uncle Gu didn't know that Song Yuanchao worked as the deputy director of the factory when he went to the south. Although Song Yuanchao was a college student, in Uncle Gu's opinion, even college students usually have to start from the grassroots when they are assigned to enterprises. This has always been the practice. Of course.

, with Song Yuanchao’s academic qualifications, it is impossible for him to escape as a cadre. This starting point is much higher than ordinary people. According to his experience, Song Yuanchao has a bright future. In a few years, he may be able to climb to the position of deputy section chief.

level.

But Uncle Gu didn't know that Song Yuanchao was different from ordinary college students. Since Song Yuanchao had already had the status of a cadre before he was admitted to college, and coupled with Lin Daoyuan's arrangements, his starting point was much higher than that of ordinary people. This was also the case when Song Yuanchao came here.

That’s why I serve as deputy factory director.

Song Yuanchao did not explain the words of Uncle Gu, but just smiled and nodded. After all, Uncle Gu said these words with good intentions, as an elder's concern and advice for the younger generation, although Uncle Gu had some bad tempers of scholars, such as being high-spirited.

And so on, but from the perspective of friends, Uncle Gu is a very good person.

After chatting for a while about the topic of Nandu, Song Yuanchao thought for a while and asked: "Second uncle, did you know that there is a branch factory under Nandu Factory?"

"The first branch factory in Nandu?" Uncle Gu showed a thoughtful expression.

"I'm not sure about this. Branch one? Does it produce something?"

"It said it produces orange soda or something. The factory is located in your area..." Song Yuanchao reported the place name, and Uncle Gu suddenly realized it.

"I know, I know, it's the Hongqi Factory that's been causing trouble for a long time. I didn't remember what you were talking about about the first branch factory."

"Red Flag Factory?"

"Yes, this factory was originally called Hongqi Soda Factory. There seems to be a sign of Hongqi Factory hanging at the entrance of the factory now. I remembered it. You are right. This factory was transferred to Nandu many years ago, but we used to

I’m used to it, so I keep calling it Hongqi Factory.”

"So you know a lot about this factory?" After hearing what Uncle Gu said, Song Yuanchao immediately became energetic and asked.

"It's hard to say that I understand it. This factory was quite famous many years ago. They mainly produced orange soda and salt soda, and the taste was quite good." Uncle Gu replied thoughtfully.

"Now I heard that the efficiency of this factory is not very good? Do you know what is going on?" Song Yuanchao asked again.

Uncle Gu laughed when he heard it: "We ordinary people don't know whether the benefits are good or not. How can I know if I'm not from Nandu? But having said that, it is true that Hongqi Factory's soda is rarely seen on the market in recent years, so I don't know.

What's going on? It's hard to see their soda. Also, the entire soda factory in Jinling can be

There are quite a few, there are four or five that can be recognized by their brands, and they are no less famous than the Hongqi Factory. There are also some large companies, such as Nanjing Steel, which have their own soda workshops. In addition to providing benefits to employees, the sodas they produce also

Part of the external sales may be due to this reason, but the efficiency of Hongqi Factory is not good now."

Uncle Gu's words reminded Song Yuanchao that state-owned enterprises, especially large state-owned enterprises, do have such soda workshops. This situation is very common nowadays. When Song Yuanchao was in Shanghai, the same was true for some large units. In the summer, there would be

We produce some sodas by ourselves as a benefit for employees to prevent heatstroke and cool down. Even the school-run factories where we worked before would purchase the sodas produced by them from some cooperative factories and distribute them to factory employees, including school faculty and staff.

From this point of view, there are many soda water factories in Jinling, including many soda water workshops of some large enterprises. These will inevitably dilute the market share. Coupled with the management problems of the first branch factory over the years, the benefits of the first branch factory will continue to increase.

Decline is inevitable.

"Why do you suddenly want to ask about Hongqi Factory?" Uncle Gu asked curiously.

"Isn't this factory now a branch of Nandu? I have to find out where I work now. I just suddenly remembered it and just asked." Song Yuanchao explained with a smile, and Uncle Gu didn't take it seriously.

I really thought Song Yuanchao was just asking casually.

Following this topic, Song Yuanchao and Gu Ershu chatted for a while about several famous soda water factories in Jinling and their products, and learned about the market situation from the perspective of consumers. The two chatted for about an hour. At this time, the sky

It was getting late, and the children and the elderly were a little sleepy. Song Yuanchao got up to say goodbye and returned to the Ying family's old house opposite. After washing, he lay down early to rest.

Early the next morning, Song Yuanchao came to the unit on time. He cleaned the office first, filled a pot of hot water, checked that the time was almost up, picked up his notebook and went to the conference room.

The morning meeting was held on time. In addition to Jiang Dahai and Gu Ping, the first and second leaders, plus Song Yuanchao, there were also Gu Changjun and three other deputy factory directors, plus Section Chief Tang of the Labor and Management Department and the Finance Section.

, two section chiefs of the supply and marketing department.

At the meeting, Jiang Dahai presided over the meeting and publicly announced the division of labor arrangements for Comrade Song Yuanchao. From now on, the deputy director of the factory, Comrade Song Yuanchao, will be responsible for the overall work of the first branch factory, the Youth League Committee, the laboratory and the factory medical room, and requested

The corresponding departments should complete the handover and coordination work as soon as possible so that Comrade Song Yuanchao can take over as soon as possible.

After the announcement, there was a burst of warm applause in the conference room. Song Yuanchao stood up and bowed slightly to everyone to express his gratitude.

Although everyone's reaction seemed to be very enthusiastic, and some people even said some congratulations and words of encouragement to Song Yuanchao, but in everyone's eyes, Song Yuanchao saw a trace of pity and ridicule, because in their view, Song Yuanchao's so-called division of labor was completely Jiang Dahai and Gu Ping jointly dug a hole.

Let's not talk about the three marginalized areas of the Youth League Committee, the laboratory and the factory's medical room. Just the hot potato of the first branch factory is not a good job. Song Yuanchao is a complete newcomer, a rookie who has never done actual management work at all. , throwing the burden of the No. 1 branch factory directly to him is not digging a hole. I'm afraid Song Yuanchao will have a hard time in the future. Maybe this young man will have to go back to the main factory in tears soon to ask for work adjustment, and become the boss of the whole factory. laughing stock.

Song Yuanchao saw this one by one, but seemed not to know.

After the meeting, Jiang Dahai shook hands with Song Yuanchao with a smile and said a few words of concern. What he meant was that he was optimistic about Song Yuanchao and hoped that Song Yuanchao would use his talents in his future positions. If you need any support from your superiors, just mention it to him, and he will definitely support Song Yuanchao's work fully.

The same was true for Gu Ping, who said something similar to Jiang Dahai. Song Yuanchao showed gratitude and shook hands with the two. At the same time, he once again stated that he would live up to the expectations of the leader and work hard to do the work assigned by the leader.

"Xiao Song, it's good for young people to be ambitious! But you must not be reckless when doing work. As the old saying goes, you can't become fat by eating in one breath. You have to eat in stuttering bites. The road must be walked step by step. The same is true for work. Haha, there will be more in the future. Kongduo, come and sit with me, the tea in my office is pretty good, hahaha." After Jiang Dahai and Gu Ping left, Deputy Secretary Gu Changjun also shook hands with Song Yuanchao with a smile and said something meaningful. Speech.

Gu Changjun's attitude was much more sincere than that of Jiang Dahai and Gu Ping. Perhaps it was because Gu Changjun had a transcendent status in Nandu, or maybe he felt that Jiang Dahai and Gu Ping teamed up to deceive Song Yuanchao, which was not a good idea. Perhaps out of the love and pity of the leaders and elders for the young comrades, Gu Changjun mentioned Song Yuanchao in some meaningful words.

"Thank you, Secretary Gu, for your concern. I will certainly go and taste your good tea when the time comes." Song Yuanchao replied with a smile. Gu Changjun nodded, said nothing more, and left the conference room directly.

Back in his office, Song Yuanchao began to make preparations before taking over. He was busy for a long time, and in the blink of an eye, it was already noon.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Song Yuanchao found a bowl and quickly went to the canteen to get some food. As usual, he bought food at the ordinary window and ate with several familiar workers. Everyone chatted about common topics.

After dinner, Song Yuanchao finished washing the dishes downstairs and was about to go back to the office when he happened to bump into Wang Feng who had just come out of the cafeteria.

"Song...Vice Director Song, have you finished eating?"

"Have eaten, what? Have you finished eating too? I didn't see you in the cafeteria just now." Song Yuanchao asked with a smile.

Wang Feng felt a little unnatural. He forced a smile and said: "I arrived late. After dinner, I saw you chatting with your coworkers, so I didn't go over to say hello to you."

"Haha, it's okay, okay, why don't you go wash the dishes? Go ahead, I'll go back first." Song Yuanchao smiled and nodded.

Wang Feng responded, but did not move. He hesitated and hesitated and lowered his voice and asked Song Yuanchao: "Deputy Director Song, I heard that the factory office held a small meeting this morning. Is your work arrangement...?"

"Well, the work in charge has been decided, what? Are you very well-informed? By the way, I almost forgot, your Section Chief Tang is also one of the participants, so it's not surprising for you to know."

"Well...congratulations to Deputy Director Song. I'm about to wash the dishes. You go first...you go first..." Wang Feng's expression was a little strange, and his smile was a little stiff. He changed the subject and said this.

He turned around and headed towards the pool. Looking at Wang Feng, he felt a little confused.

Song Yuanchao looked like a god of plague and wanted to stay away from him. Song Yuanchao shook his head secretly. This is what this person is like. He seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, especially a person like Wang Feng. Yesterday, he called himself Xiao Wang in front of him respectfully. As soon as the news came out today
