After March, there seems to be no cold weather in the capital. Fish are seen in the river and swallows peck at the spring mud.

The ice on the Liangma River has long since melted, and the willows along both sides of the river have sprouted new shoots, creating a lush green landscape.

The gray and white city seemed to be embellished with green overnight and glowed with new life.

On Women’s Day, the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill Union was very lively. It not only arranged a cultural performance, but also organized and distributed supplies for female workers.

The welfare protection of large factories in these days is very comprehensive. Although materials are scarce, the level of care is more proactive.

In addition to housing, medical care, schooling and other benefits, workers enjoy free bathing and free haircuts, and even family members of factory employees can enjoy free bathing tickets.

Not to mention the coal and fire fee in winter, work clothes, gloves, towels and other labor protection supplies must be distributed on time.

Take the steel rolling mill as an example. Before the development of the tertiary industry, it had three logistics plants, one of which was a labor insurance plant.

Every March 8th Women's Day, toilet paper, soap, towels and other welfare products are distributed to female workers. "March 8th Red Flag Bearers" and "March 8th Red Flag Collective" are also selected and awarded certificates and flags.

This is an activity that fully embodies the advanced representativeness of the working class. It is serious and lively.

Not only were promotional banners and posters posted inside and outside the factory, but the radio station also prepared special broadcast programs.

Just in time, today is Saturday, and the interview program "Red Star Interview" has announced that it will interview a grassroots female worker.

Originally, Li Huaide was preparing to participate in the cultural performance held today. As a main leader, he must care about the work and life of female workers.

However, I received a temporary notice on Friday that a leader from the city wanted to come to the factory for investigation, so I adjusted my schedule.

According to the original plan, Li Xuewu, who was supposed to go to Hongxing Village to inspect the work, had to postpone his departure time.

The literary report performance was hosted by Gu Weijie, accompanied by Ding Zigui, and organized by the labor union leaders.

The research and reception work was coordinated by Li Xuewu, deputy director of the commission office, who also accompanied Li Huaide, Jing Yunong and Cheng Kaiyuan to receive visiting leaders.

With Jing Yunong and Cheng Kaiyuan participating in the reception, we knew what the leaders who came to investigate wanted to see.

A research convoy consisting of three cars and one jeep drove into the Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant and went directly to the factory office area under the guidance of the External Reception Office.

Those who got off the car were Liu Xiangqian, executive deputy director of the Beijing Administrative Committee, Zhang Dayong, deputy director in charge of industry and trade development, and Zhao Fuchun, director of the Industrial Bureau.

Following in the jeep were reporters and photographers from the Beijing Daily.

Li Huaide stood downstairs waiting for them with dignity, and welcomed the group of people out of the car.

He treats others with courtesy and must ask for something, and the other party will not go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything.

How to say this?

The steel rolling mill is still under the territorial jurisdiction of the industrial department of the capital. Today's guests are all mothers-in-law, so naturally they have to be entertained with good cigarettes and wine.

Li Huaide only hopes that they will not cause obstacles in the application process of the steel rolling mill group project, let alone cause trouble in a critical development year.

The second and fourth officers from the administrative department in Beijing brought one from the industrial department to the steel rolling mill, and their purpose was even more obvious.

"I'll look at you with admiration after three days of separation!"

Liu Xiangqian held Li Huaide's hand and joked: "Director Li, you are just replacing a gun with a cannon - you are making a big deal!"

"Hahaha!"

Li Huaide's level did not need to be particularly polite when receiving these people. He obviously knew Liu Xiangqian, and his attitude in his words was particularly relaxed.

He laughed and shook hands and said: "Director Liu, you are just waiting for someone to serve you food. If I don't invite you, you really won't come."

"I've wanted to come here for a long time. I heard that the Red Star Factory is developing well!"

Liu Xiangqian held Li Huaide's hand tightly and said with emotion: "When the sea is flowing, a hero shows his true colors. I am very happy that you can lead the steel rolling mill so well, and I am even more proud of you."

He raised his hand to signal to Zhang Dayong, the accompanying deputy director, and introduced: "Comrade Dayong told me more than once, let me see, the steel rolling mill's reform path has taken a new pattern."

"Director Li, I have invited you many times."

Zhang Dayong smiled and shook hands with Li Huaide and said: "Every time I talk about the steel rolling mill, Director Liu wants to come, but he always gets stymied by things."

He glanced at the reception staff at the steel rolling mill, nodded and said: "I told you this time, if you don't come, you will have to call and make an appointment if you want to see the cadres of the steel rolling mill!"

"Hahaha! No, we welcome you!"

Li Huaide said with a smile: "The Duojian Steel Rolling Plant is also a part of Beijing's industry and is the vanguard of the steel industry."

"Well - I love hearing this. It's what the whole family says! Haha!"

Liu Xiangqian smiled and nodded at Li Huaide and said, "I just thought that you, Li Huaide, have a sense of direction and are someone who sees the overall situation."

"Even if I don't come to the steel rolling mill for a year, the gate of the steel rolling mill can still be opened to the city, right?"

"Don't blame me for complaining!"

Li Huaide motioned to Jing Yunong on his side and said: "Our Deputy Director Jing has gone to the city to report many times. Don't say that we didn't invite you to come. It's because you didn't come yourself!"

"Blame me, blame me! I really want to come!"

The two parties nodded and shook hands. They were basically acquaintances and there was no introduction.

The sun is just right today, it's about 89 degrees Celsius in the morning, and the sun is so warm on your body.

Since there will be on-site investigation soon, I didn’t go into the hall.

In the courtyard of the office area, everyone started chatting.

Jing Yunong took over Li Huaide's words and briefly introduced the new changes in the factory to Liu Qianqian and his party with a smile.

Of course I won't talk about business matters, and this is not the place to report work.

He only briefly mentioned the two new office buildings built in the factory, how many workshops, projects, and factories were built, and how many new workers were recruited.

In fact, as soon as he entered the gate of the steel rolling mill, Liu Xiangqian was surprised by the changes here and saw all the contrasts.

The guards on duty at the gate are heroic and dignified; the factory environment is clean, beautiful and full of life; the workers passing by are energetic, simple and generous.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Especially when you see the cadres coming out of the steel rolling mill wearing uniform black jackets, white shirts and black trousers, you feel that there is unity and strength here.

Listening to Jing Yunong's introduction, the people in the city were even more excited. In just one year of development, the changes here can really be described as earth-shaking.

"Okay - your factory has really achieved results!"

Liu Xiangxiang affirmed: "Just talking about resolving the employment problem of young people in Beijing, I must give you a compliment."

"The newly added recruitment quota of 20,000 people has really solved a lot of problems for our city!"

"It's all appropriate, and it's also in line with the overall development situation in the new era and actively promotes corporate change."

Li Huaide raised his hand to invite a group of people and said, "Let's go to the engineering headquarters first and talk as we go."

"Okay, I came today with a learning attitude, and I want to learn from my experience."

Liu Xiangqian nodded, followed by Zhao Fuchun and other industrial cadres, and said: "Practice will tell the truth, so be modest."

"You're welcome, we also waded across the river barefoot and relied on groping our way forward."

Jing Yunong said politely: "We still need more opinions, criticism and guidance from the city."

"We are a family. Please leave the polite words at the dinner table. I am here to listen to the truth."

Liu Xiangqian followed Li Huaide to the auxiliary building and said: "The indicators for the first quarter of this year will be out soon. I am very worried."

"Comrade Huaide, you are an old industrialist. You should know that our capital's foundation is not weak."

He frowned and sighed: "But from last year to now, the city's industrial data has stagnated. We are the sinners."

"We still have to consider the overall situation. After all, it is a period of corporate change, and there must always be time and space to turn around."

Li Huaide expressed relief: "Our factory has also encountered difficulties and suffered losses in the process of studying and implementing changes. I can understand your heartache."

Everyone entered the auxiliary building and went straight to the general project headquarters for the steel rolling mill investment and construction located on the first floor.

"Both leaders, please come here."

As the project introducer, Li Xuewu arrived in front of the command department first.

He motioned for everyone to go inside, pointed to the hall, which was larger than the factory conference room, and introduced: "This is the general headquarters of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill Project. All the instructions received during the investment and construction projects and projects are issued from here."

The office area in the hall is arranged in a zigzag shape. There are many people inside, and the sound of phones, discussions and equipment are mixed together, making it very noisy.

Liu Xiangqian and Zhang Dayong, accompanied by Li Huaide, stood near the door and listened to Li Xuewu's introduction.

The staff were not affected by the arrival of the group at all and were busy with their own work. The atmosphere was very tense.

"It's very lively——"

Zhang Dayong looked at the busy scene and sighed.

Wherever you look, various forms such as schedules and engineering drawings are hung on the wall. There are various piles of documents on the table. There are piles of documents on top of the cabinets on the wall.

The office staff are a mixture of old, middle-aged and young people. They speak quickly, have serious expressions, and communicate eagerly. They seem to be an engine running rapidly.

"Since last year, the steel rolling mill has begun industrial transformation and enterprise transformation, and has successively invested in the construction of new projects and new industries."

Li Xuewu turned to the leaders and introduced: "In order to deal with the command and management of multiple construction projects, this general headquarters was specially established."

"The construction projects currently under management include: Yingcheng Shipyard, automobile manufacturing plant, motorcycle manufacturing plant, food production plant, electronics manufacturing plant, etc. 37 projects."

"It's rare. I only heard that there are many new projects in steel rolling mills, but I didn't expect so many."

Liu Xiangqian nodded to Li Huaide and said: "Your factory is at the forefront of change, even the management system is so advanced."
