January 6, 1968, the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Xiaohan.
Hongxing Machinery Factory, Yang Xiaotao's office.
On the table, two large piles of information reports were arranged on the left and right. The person in the middle read the report in his hand, made corrections, and then put it aside.
Then take one off the pile and continue correcting.
Not far away, Lou Xiao'e was sorting out the information submitted by the local government, and Liu Lixue was helping to sort out the files.
Now, Lou Xiao'e and Liu Lixue have become Yang Xiaotao's secretaries. They are also very busy, and it is said that they have even declined the opportunity to watch movies.
Of course, Yang Xiaotao was still very curious about Liu Lixue becoming Yang Xiaotao's secretary.
Because this was assigned to him by Mr. Chen.
At this time, Yang Xiaotao realized how big Liu Lixue's backing was.
Don't look at Yang Xiaotao who recognized his uncle just because of his thick skin.
But I was born with a biological uncle.
At the same time, I also understand why the superiors knew so quickly when there was some movement in the Red Star Machinery Factory.
Now that they were arranged to be by his side, Yang Xiaotao didn't think it was surveillance.
On the contrary, I think this is an opportunity.
A chance to make a stand.
At this time, the sound of chaotic footsteps suddenly came from the corridor, and then the door was opened and three figures walked in.
"Buy Yang, Director Hong and Factory Director Li are here."
Wang Hao's voice came, and Yang Xiaotao, who was buried in documents at his desk, suddenly looked up.
"Lao Hong, Lao Li, you are here!"
"I'll be waiting for you these two days!"
The two of them were Lao Hong who came back from the northwest.
Seeing Yang Xiaotao step forward, Li Chengjun smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, no, it should be Department Yang. We heard about it on the way here. This is a big deal!"
After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao waved his hand quickly, "Big things happen one after another. I am so busy that I can't even get out of the office!"
"Lao Hong, now that you are here, our team will be complete, and I will be relieved!"
"Stop coming!"
Lao Hong looked frightened when he heard this, "Why do you need to worry about it? I'm not here to be a bully or a horse for you!"
"No, no, no, you don't need to be responsible for the cows and horses. You can just take care of the logistics!"
Yang Xiaotao said quickly, then took out the appointment letter from the drawer and stuffed it directly into Lao Hong's hand, "Keep this thing yourself!"
Lao Hong glanced at the appointment letter. Although his expression remained calm, he was inexplicably excited.
Finally, no more wasting time!
Yang Xiaotao felt his shoulders relax.
Since the establishment of Jiubu, a heavy burden has been weighing on his shoulders, and there is endless work to do every day.
What about the expansion of the branch factory, what kind of personnel scheduling, what kind of coordination in the workshop, and the arrangements of various research institutes...
During this period, if it weren't for the help of Li Hongfeng, Liu Huaimin and others, as well as the efforts of the various directors below, it would be extremely difficult for anyone to get it running.
That's it, he sits in the office every day and his job is to sign.
It’s still the kind that requires understanding and writing opinions on how to deal with it.
That's not all.
The new First Secretary Li Hongfeng gave him the feeling of being 'rude'.
On the first day of employment, Yang Xiaotao was asked to establish a hard and simple style of work in Jiubu. Yang Xiaotao was stunned for a moment.
Their Hongxing Machinery Factory has always been like this, okay?
There is also the issue of waste, which has been discussed several times during meetings in the past few days.
If it were someone else, Yang Xiaotao might fight back.
However, this first secretary leads by example. The newly issued cotton-padded clothes were said to be donated, the arranged car was rejected, and the food was always made from steamed buns and vegetarian dishes.
So much so that every time they ate together, they would look at the food on each other's plates and then their own rice bowls, feeling a sense of shame.
Yang Xiaotao has no temper at all when dealing with people who lead by example.
But, Yang Xiaotao felt that he could obviously have a good life, so he wouldn't be asking for trouble.
But he didn't dare to say these words, because Yang Xiaotao knew that the other party's heart was still in the mountains to the south.
This feeling is like the bearing connection is missing lubricant, and the friction is uncomfortable.
This feeling is not only felt by Yang Xiaotao, but also by Liu Huaimin, Yang Youning and others.
In addition, there are also workers in the workshop.
In their words, they have earned a good life through hard work, so why do they have to endure hardship?
Isn't that a big fool?
Perhaps Li Hongfeng was aware of this feeling, or perhaps not.
But Yang Xiaotao knew that sooner or later this would cause estrangement, but he couldn't bring it up yet.
Now that Lao Hong is here, Yang Xiaotao finally breathes a sigh of relief.
Because this Lao Hong is the lubricant he chooses.
"Come on, sit in the room!"
"Xiao'e, go and call Secretary Li, Secretary Liu, Director Yang and others over here!"
Lou Xiao'e ran out with a smile, and Yang Xiaotao asked the two of them to sit down, then began to pour water and get cigarettes.
"How are they, sister-in-law? I told Qiuye that you were coming back, and she is still thinking about Teacher Zhang!"
"The boy at home is still thinking about his brother Hu Zi!"
Lao Hong carefully placed the appointment certificate and then smiled heartily, "I asked her to come back, but she said she couldn't let go of the students over there, so she didn't come back!"
"Let's wait until it's safe here!"
"As for Hu Zi, he is in the special forces team at the moment. By the way, when he came back, Mr. He said that he asked Lao Liang to have a conversation and talk about the two special forces teams!"
Yang Xiaotao patted his thigh after hearing this, "What a coincidence, Lao Liang also talked about this yesterday."
"It's said that there are nine subordinates, so it's best to coordinate them together!"
Li Chengjun nodded after hearing this, "It was easy to talk about this enemy before, but now it has become the Nine Divisions. It is a bit inappropriate for us to have two more teams!"
Yang Xiaotao hummed, then looked at Li Chengjun, "Uncle Li, my dad heard that you are coming back, but he misses you. If he couldn't leave there, he would come over no matter what!"
Yang Xiaotao said to Li Chengjun again. After hearing this, Li Chengjun also missed his colleagues from the Seventh Machinery Department, "That's easy to say, wait until I find him!"
While the three of them were talking, Li Hongfeng, Liu Huaimin and others walked in.
Lao Hong and the other two stood up immediately, but Li Hongfeng stepped forward first, came to Lao Hong's side and raised his hand.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hello, Chief!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but Lao Hong stepped forward and gently put down Li Hongfeng's hand.
"Comrade Hong Feng, long time no see!"
The two hands were held tightly together.
"Chief..."
Li Hongfeng wanted to speak, but Lao Hong waved his hand, "There is no chief here anymore, that is all in the past."
"Now, we only have one Lao Hong here, Lao Hong who built for the revolution."
Li Hongfeng nodded, "Okay!"
"I am content to be able to continue fighting with you."
"You should be relieved, too."
Yang Xiaotao suddenly interjected from the side, "Lao Hong, you don't know that our First Secretary is always thinking about the front line and has insufficient confidence in our Ninth Department."
Hearing what Yang Xiaotao said, Li Hongfeng didn't care and admitted openly, "That was before, and I didn't know much about our nine departments."
"Now I know one thing, and that is to make the Jiubu train faster and more stable."
"Moreover, with you joining me, I am even more confident."
Yang Xiaotao smiled from the side and said, "Look, Lao Hong, you are so popular."
"I think you can find a few more people to help. After all, we have a big family and a big business now."
Speaking of this, Li Hongfeng also nodded.
Because these nine departments really represent a great family and a great cause.
"Don't try to meddle with me. I'm here to work for you, and you still want to buy one and get more. How can this be such a good thing?"
“Buy one get one free is fine too!”
"Fuck you."
Everyone laughed, and then Lao Hong looked at Liu Huaimin.
"Secretary Liu!"
"Lao Hong, don't, just call me Lao Liu!"
"Okay, Lao Liu, we will work together from now on. If you have any questions, just say it. The only good thing about me is that I am thick-skinned and I am not afraid of what others say."
Lao Hong said boldly, and Liu Huaimin admired him very much. At the same time, he also knew that his abilities were far behind compared to Li Hongfeng, not to mention the person in front of him.
During this period, Li Hongfeng handled organizational matters with ease.
He is worthy of being a leader who coordinates more than 100,000 people.
The person in front of me has done logistical work for hundreds of thousands of people.
This, this is really incomparable.
"Lao Hong, we will be a family from now on."
Lao Hong nodded vigorously, held hands, and looked grateful.
"That's right, there's no need for us to be polite except calling him!"
Yang Youning was smiling at the side. After all, they were all about the same age, but Yang Xiaotao was the same age as their children.
But Yang Xiaotao is the oldest, so it is really difficult to address him.
Yang Xiaotao rolled his eyes, "You can do whatever you want, my old people all call me by my nickname anyway!"
Lao Hong laughed loudly after hearing this, "Xiao Tao!"
He had lived in Yangjiazhuang for a while, so he naturally knew Yang Xiaotao's nickname.
Thinking of this, Lao Hong thought of the villagers in Yangjiazhuang again. Those years were his most difficult time.
Fortunately, there is Yang Xiaotao, Mr. Yang and others.
"When I have time, I'll go back to Yangjiazhuang to have a look!"
Yang Xiaotao nodded immediately after hearing this, "That's easy to say."
"After I've been busy for a while, I'll accompany you back!"
Lao Hong laughed again.
When everyone meets, the office is lively.
Yang Youning clapped his hands, "Well, I suggest that we get together this noon!"
"How about letting Comrade Yang Xiaotao do the work, and we can have a good time first, which can also be regarded as a blessing for the comrades?"
"Hey, Lao Yang, shouldn't you be the host of what you proposed?"
Yang Xiaotao shouted immediately, but Yang Youning spread his hands, "There is no way, who made you a big owner!"
"How about a show of hands for everyone to vote?"
"Okay, I agree. Our Yang family has been a wealthy man for a long time."
Lao Hong immediately spoke and stood with Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning.
Li Hongfeng also raised his hand, "I agree too. I heard from comrades that the chili sauce made by Yang Bu is delicious. I'd like to try it."
Liu Huaimin laughed, "It's not just chili sauce, but also fermented bean curd. That's what goes with the meal."
Li Chengjun beside him also raised his hand silently, with a proud smile on his face, as if I don't say anything and I just care about the food.
Yang Xiaotao rolled his eyes, "You have already discussed everything, why are you raising your hands? It's unnecessary!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately laughed.
"Let's go and eat and chat."
After speaking, Yang Youning led everyone away.
Yang Xiaotao turned back to look at Lou Xiao'e and the two of them, "Divide the documents on the table and send all logistical matters to Director Hong's office."
Lao Hong, who was walking ahead, heard this and said to Li Hongfeng beside him, "Look, you still have to work to eat his meal."
Li Hongfeng nodded immediately, "That's good. Yesterday I went to the Seventh Machinery Department to hide for a day. Today it was easy to get stuck."
"Hey, this is laziness. I need to order more meat dishes."
"It's necessary."
A few people in front were laughing loudly, but Yang Xiaotao behind his back didn't care.
As long as there are fewer documents on the table, a meal is nothing.
Soon, several people came to the living room. After a while, Chen Gong and Wang Guodong came in after hearing the news, and Yang Xiaotao introduced them again.
Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning also added on the side. They also knew Lao Hong's future position in the Ninth Department. As comrades in the same trench, trust is the most important.
Of course, after just a short period of contact, they discovered the unique charm of Lao Hong.
I also understand why Yang Xiaotao invited this person to come out.
To put it bluntly, Lao Hong is the Dinghai Shenzhen of Jiubu.
