Taking the tea brought by the secretary of the factory director, Li Weidong said with a smile: "Director, the scene you made yesterday was really too big. I run a poverty alleviation workshop just to contribute to our steel rolling mill, and I don't want to be in the limelight.
mean."
"Yesterday's scene was seen by some thoughtful people, and they will definitely talk about me behind my back."
"A tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind!"
Factory Director Yang took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Weidong and said with a smile: "You are just too cautious. Now that you have become a model worker, it is equivalent to having a talisman. Who dares to do something behind your back? I, Old Yang, will be the first one not to do it."
Let him go."
"Thank you, Director Yang. You are really kind to me."
"Hey, you also helped me a lot. If you hadn't taken care of Li Huaide back then, I might have been kicked out of the steel rolling mill long ago."
Director Yang took a puff of cigarette and said with emotion.
The reason why Li Weidong chose Factory Manager Yang in the first place was because he had relatively upright views.
If he had been Deputy Director Li, his stepping stone might have been thrown aside long ago.
The two chatted for a while, and Li Weidong explained his purpose of coming.
"Director Yang, the scale of the poverty alleviation workshop has expanded a lot now, and a large amount of materials needs to be purchased every day, some of which are not on the purchase list."
"Although the comrades in the Logistics Department have tried their best, you also know that the supplies on the market have become even tighter recently, and it is very difficult to purchase supplies."
"Take last month as an example, the workshop wasted three days because it needed to wait for supplies."
"If you hadn't personally coordinated it, the delivery of that batch of orders would have been delayed."
Director Yang nodded slightly when he heard this: "After all, the logistics department is responsible for the supply of materials for the entire factory. Even though I have issued an order to give priority to the supply of materials to the poverty alleviation workshops, delays in materials are inevitable. There is no way to do this.
I hope you can understand."
"Of course I understand." Li Weidong sat up straight and said with a smile: "But it's not an option if we continue like this. I think our poverty alleviation workshop should be independently responsible for purchasing."
Hearing this, Director Yang was stunned for a moment.
Materials for the entire factory are uniformly supplied by the logistics department. This is a rule set by the ministry and cannot be changed easily.
but.
Li Weidong's concerns are not unreasonable.
As the supply of materials becomes increasingly tight, the logistics department appears to be unable to supply materials.
If it is an ordinary product, if it is delayed for a few days, those customers will not dare to cause trouble.
The solar cells produced in poverty alleviation workshops are to be exported.
The ministry has signed a contract with the port city. If the goods cannot be delivered on time, in addition to having to pay a large amount of money as agreed in the contract, the reputation will also be affected.
After thinking for a moment, Director Yang nodded: "Okay, but this matter is of great importance and I still need to convene a factory committee meeting."
Factory Director Yang is now committed to his word in the steel rolling mill. The matters he decides are discussed at the factory committee, which is a process.
Sure enough, by noon, the rolling mill committee passed a special resolution allowing the poverty alleviation workshop to set up its own logistics service department.
Moreover, with the strong insistence of Factory Director Yang, the poverty alleviation workshop also received the establishment of a 12th-level clerk.
Level 12 clerks are the lowest level in the factory cadre establishment and can only earn a salary of level 30, which is 23 yuan per month, which is less than the average worker.
But don’t take bean bags as dry food. Even the lowest-level workers are still in the factory cadre establishment and have a better future than ordinary workers.
This news spread from the factory committee and immediately attracted the attention of many people.
It is still very difficult to transform from a worker to a worker in this era. There are only a few places in the steel rolling mill every year, and they are reserved for model workers who have worked hard at their jobs for decades, or who have made outstanding contributions to the factory.
of workers.
Even some workshop directors are not cadres, but work on behalf of workers.
Now that there is an opportunity to be directly promoted to clerk, even some workshop directors are jealous.
If it had been anyone else, they would have come to your door long ago.
They knew Li Weidong's temperament, and he was the kind of person who wouldn't take hard or soft advice, so they could only send people to the poverty alleviation workshop to make innuendo.
There was no one in Li Weidong's office all morning.
They all came here to inquire about the preparation.
Li Weidong was not polite to them and told them directly that this establishment was reserved for the head of the purchasing department of the poverty alleviation workshop.
If they have the ability to help the poverty alleviation workshop purchase the required materials on time, they can compete for the position of section chief.
In this era, it is extremely difficult to obtain supplies, so those people can only retreat in the face of difficulties.
but.
Some people don't give up.
For example, Qin Huairu.
When Qin Huairu learned the news, she was instructing the team members to install the workpieces.
"Xiao Wang, you should be tighter here. Don't be afraid to use force. The tighter the better."
Xiao Wang followed Professor Qin Huairu's method, applied a little force, and with a 'click' sound, the workpiece was directly installed in place.
He raised his head and glanced at Qin Huairu gratefully: "Team leader, thank you so much. Master Yi didn't teach me anything. If it weren't for your guidance, I would definitely not be able to complete the tasks this month."
"Hey, why are you so polite?"
Feeling the grateful gaze, Qin Huairu felt as if she had drunk honey.
Since she followed Li Weidong's advice and focused on her work, within a few years she was promoted to level 4 fitter and became a team leader.
Qin Huairu is still very capable. In just two months, he turned the production team at the bottom of the workshop into the team with the highest output in the entire workshop.
Therefore, he also received praise from the factory.
Listening to her name coming from the loudspeaker, Qin Huairu made up her mind to do something great and let everyone see her ability.
Qin Huairu walked around the team and saw that the team members were working hard. She returned to her work station and started to get busy.
Just as he picked up the workpiece, a worker ran in from outside and whispered: "Xiao Qin, have you heard? A new department is going to be set up in the poverty alleviation workshop, and I heard that cadres have been established."
Hearing this, Qin Huairu felt happy and hurriedly asked her coworkers about it.
When she learned that it was the purchasing department, Qin Huairu became even more excited.
Isn’t purchasing just about buying things?
She's good at this.
She loves shopping the most. Isn't this a position tailor-made for her?
Besides, Qin Huairu knew that no matter how hard she worked, she could never compare to those model workers who had worked for decades.
If she wants to become a cadre, she must take shortcuts.
But now the opportunity has come, and Li Weidong is her shortcut.
Qin Huairu was restless in the workshop, and finally waited until noon. She didn't even eat, so she hid in the woods outside the studio.
She knew that Li Weidong would bring food back to the studio every noon.
Sure enough, within a few minutes, Qin Huairu saw Li Weidong's figure.
She looked around, saw no one around, and rushed over quickly.
Li Weidong was planning to go to Yu's house in the afternoon to tell Fatty Yu about this good thing. When he felt a cold wind blowing, he subconsciously turned sideways, raised his arm and punched him.
The fist as big as a sandbag hit the door directly. Qin Huairu shivered in fright, her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed on the ground.
Seeing that it was Qin Huairu, Li Weidong stopped his strength, widened his eyes and asked, "Comrade Qin Huairu, what's the matter with you?"
".Who would have thought that you would have such a big reaction!"
Qin Huairu calmed down for a while, then finally recovered, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and said coquettishly.
Li Weidong frowned: "It's noon, if you don't eat in the cafeteria, what are you doing here?"
Qin Huairu smiled with almond-shaped eyes: "We haven't seen each other for a while. I miss you, so I came to see if you can do it!"
This reason makes sense, but Li Weidong always feels that Qin Huairu has other motives.
"Sister Qin, if you have anything to do, just say it, and we'll take care of things after that."
Seeing that Li Weidong was so direct, Qin Huairu stopped hiding it and told her about wanting to be the head of the purchasing department.
"Brother Weidong, you also know that my sister only has a primary school education. If she follows the normal promotion path, she will never have a chance to be a leader in this life."
"This is a good opportunity. If you can give it to me, I will listen to you for the rest of my life."
"I will do whatever you ask me to do, and I will never refuse."
After Qin Huairu finished speaking, she blushed shyly and glanced at Li Weidong. Her heart accelerated uncontrollably, and a blush immediately appeared on her cheeks.
Li Weidong looked at Qin Huairu in surprise. This woman was willing to sacrifice herself for the establishment of a factory cadre.
only
Seeing that Li Weidong was silent, Qin Huairu bit her lip, mustered up her courage, leaned into Li Weidong's ear, and whispered a few words.
Li Weidong couldn't help but swallow his saliva. This woman was indeed a vixen.
but
Li Weidong is not the kind of person who is easily tempted.
Li Weidong straightened his collar and looked at Qin Huairu calmly: "You can be the head of the purchasing section if you want."
Qin Huairu felt happy, and just as she was about to say some words of thanks, she heard Li Weidong continue: "But, do you think you can guarantee that the procurement task will be completed in time?"
"Purchasing is not just spending money to buy things, I like buying things the most." Qin Huairu smiled happily.
This woman is really childish.
Li Weidong said in a deep voice: "Well, our poverty alleviation workshop now needs two hundred plastic boards. If you can purchase them before dark, the purchasing section chief will be yours."
Hearing this, Qin Huairu was stunned.
In later generations, plastic boards are all over the streets. If you open them for 200 yuan, even if it is 20,000 yuan, with just one click, the manufacturer can deliver it to your door in person.
But in this era, chemical products are scarce and plastics are extremely precious.
So much so that people use chemistry to refer to plastic.
For example, the plastic combs in supply and marketing cooperatives are called chemical combs. They cost two yuan, enough to buy more than a pound of pork.
Seeing Qin Huairu dumbfounded, Li Weidong continued: "Sister Qin, purchasing is not the same as buying things. Regardless of your high position, you also have heavy responsibilities. If you fail to purchase materials in time and delay production, you will definitely be held accountable.
responsibility."
"Then, then I shouldn't do it"
Qin Huairu is not a fool, she knows the consequences of failing to complete the task.
Seeing that Qin Huairu had changed his mind, Li Weidong didn't stay much longer and was about to enter the studio with his lunch box.
As soon as he took two steps, Qin Huairu caught up with him from behind.
She whispered: "Brother Wei Dong, although you didn't promise me, I think you are a good person. The conditions I promised you just now still count."
Thinking of Qin Huairu's words just now, Li Weidong got excited and nodded lightly: "Okay, let's find some time to practice."
Qin Huairu's eyes were full of spring water.
"Weidong, the factory cadre establishment, you actually got me the factory cadre establishment!"
When Fatty Yu received the appointment letter, he was so excited that he almost shed tears.
He rushed up and hugged Li Weidong: "Weidong, don't worry, I won't embarrass you when I become the purchasing section chief."
Li Weidong still trusts Fatty Yu's abilities.
Otherwise, no matter how close the relationship between Fatty Yu and him was, he would not be able to hand over the position of Purchasing Section Chief to Fatty Yu.
"Take the appointment letter and go to the street office to go through the formalities and transfer your household registration there as well."
Li Weidong explained: "Also, don't show up at that stall in the pigeon market. You are now a member of an employer. If someone reports you to the factory, things will be very troublesome."
Fatty Yu woke up from his ecstasy, frowned and said, "I understand what you are saying, but the pigeon market is a huge profit. Also, I have to rely on my connections in the pigeon market to purchase materials for our poverty alleviation workshop."
"That's true." Li Weidong knew that the pigeon market was where Fatty Yu settled down, and it was impossible to get him to abandon the pigeon market completely.
After pondering for a moment, he said slowly: "As long as you don't come forward and don't get caught by others, it's fine. Don't you have so many good brothers? You can find someone to stand in front of the stage to replace you."
Fatty Yu's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea. That guy Luan Zi has always been steady in his work, and he's also loyal to me. He's a good candidate."
Li Weidong had also seen Luan Zi, who was tall and slender with short hair and looked very energetic.
"Okay, you can take care of this yourself. I have other things to do, so I won't stay any longer."
After chatting for a while, Li Weidong got on his bicycle and returned to the steel rolling mill.
It was going to be dark soon. He had made an appointment with Liu Lan yesterday.
After Li Weidong left, Fatty Yu was so excited that he shouted loudly in the house.
Uncle Yu, who was painting a fan in the next room, heard the noise and came out carrying a fan.
"Second brother, why are you howling?"
"Dad, did you know that Weidong helped me find a job, and it's still a factory cadre establishment."
"Really?" Uncle Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and the wrinkles on his face smoothed out: "Okay, okay, it's really great. You have a formal job. After a while, dad will take you to Qi's house to propose marriage."
"
Fatty Yu's business in the pigeon market is indeed doing well, but it is not a serious job after all.
Uncle Yu has always wanted to allow Fatty Yu to make a decent living, but there is no chance.
Unexpectedly, Li Weidong left the matter to Fatty Yu.
"The husband Yu Li married is really good." Uncle Yu said with emotion: "It stands to reason that he has helped our family so much, and we should express our gratitude to him."
