Chapter 272 The Counterattack of Temporary Workers
() On the afternoon of this week, Lu Jiangan got on the bus from Yudeng Town to Nanjiang District alone. He had to transfer there. His final destination was Tianping, the central district, where his internship was located at the Southwest Military Industry Bureau.
Although he doesn't go to work until 8:30 tomorrow morning, he doesn't have enough time to get there from the family area in Xinjiang. Lu Jiangan has to work harder if he wants to go home, and has to ride the car for two consecutive days on the weekend.
During the Republic of China, in order to hide from Japan, Grandpa Lu Yang and his family took a boat trip up the Shuo River. They were in danger along the way and several people died accidentally. Finally, they settled at Wangtianmen Wharf and worked as a carpenter for the boat gang to earn a living.
Later, Japan bombed Zhongshan, and many people including Grandpa Lu Yang were killed. Grandpa Lu Yang, Lu Chongrui, survived and fled to the vicinity of Daliang Mountains, where he got to know Zhu Xuezhi and had children such as Lu Jiangan.
Lu Jiangan was quite naughty when he was a child. Before he woke up, something serious happened and he stopped studying. Later he became an educated youth and was recruited by the Red Shipyard. He spent half of his life in the valley of Yaoquan.
Lu Jiangan has very complicated feelings about his hometown of Chongshan. He says he is proud to be from Chongshan, but he actually feels a lot of strangeness in his heart.
Now sitting on the bumpy bus, Lu Jiangan's heart has long lost the fear of being close to home, and is filled with pride and melancholy.
The whole family has changed a lot in the past half year or so since the move. My son Lu Yang’s academic performance has improved a lot since he became a child. Even English, which he has always been weak in, often scores over 90 during this period. My wife Zhang Shufen’s decoration company is even more prosperous, and her monthly income is more than
The whole family has been together for more than a year in the past.
Lu Jiangan has nothing to worry about now. He just wants to do something good to prove that he is no worse than his wife and son, although that seems difficult.
When the bus arrived at Tianping Station, Lu Jiangan got off the bus and walked towards the company. He saw prosperous high-rise buildings, the most eye-catching one being Wanyou Baisheng Department Store.
In the past two years, several foreign-funded department stores have poured into Chongshan, and Baisheng Department Store is one of them. From the outside, the decoration design is much better than that of old state-owned enterprises like Chongshan Department Store, and is similar to the modern decoration style of Shufen Company.
Somewhat similar, just not as exquisite.
If he hadn't come to the Military Industry Bureau for an internship, Lu Jiangan wouldn't have known that Baisheng Department Store was a joint venture between Wanyou Company, a subsidiary of the Military Industry Bureau, and Malaysian overseas Chinese businessmen.
The Office Building of the Military Industry Bureau is not far behind the Wanyou Baisheng Department Store. Several buildings are surrounded to form a closed area with a strict guard system.
Lu Jiangan's office is in the building at the back, but he is temporarily staying in the guest house of the Military Industry Bureau. After all, the staff has not been transferred here, but Director Jiang gave this opportunity to come and take a look because of his son Lu Yang.
Thinking of Director Jiang, a kind face appeared in Lu Jiangan's mind, and just a few words made people feel very warm.
Director Jiang Shulan is old enough to be Lu Jiangan's mother. She thinks Lu Yang is also nainainai, so she transferred her because of her son's article.
Lu Jiangan heard rumors in the Military Industry Bureau that Jiang Shulan was almost at retirement age and had rarely been in charge of specific tasks in the past year. It was said that she had personally intervened to recruit him, which surprised many people.
So I have to work hard, but I just don’t know what to do...
Lu Jiangan did not go to the guest house next to the Military Industry Bureau, but wanted to stay in the office. It would be fine to go back anyway.
A building with white walls and red bricks exposed, obviously older, appeared in front of us.
Although Jiang Shulan is just the deputy director of the Military Industry Bureau who is about to retire, she has seniority. She greeted her personally, and this building was the office of the Development Planning Office she was previously in charge of. Director Luo Zhongzhong was her former right-hand man, so she did not feel sorry at all.
Lu Jiangan, he has a key and can come in and out of the office at will.
Lu Jiangan entered the information office of the Planning and Development Office on the fourth floor. His temporary worker's office was in one of the corners. There were no paper documents on the table, but there was a 90% new Great Wall 486 computer.
Since he started to get involved with computers last year, Lu Jiangan's interest has not diminished. On the contrary, the more he gets exposed to it, the more interesting it becomes.
Lu Jiangan still half understands what his son Lu Yang is talking about Moore's Law, but he also thinks that computers are developing too fast. The 486 that Wei Zhiwu gave last year cost more than 10,000, but now it seems to only cost a few thousand.
The computer I bought last year has become a secondhand item.
The configuration of this Great Wall 486 is similar to that of the one at home, but the system does not have the Windows 95 Chinese version or the Windows 3.2 Chinese version that Lu Yang just installed at home, and it is not connected to the Military Industry Bureau's own data system. In fact,
Equivalent to a single machine.
After studying for half a year, Lu Jiangan has become quite familiar with the system, installing software, typing, etc. Of course, he is much worse than his son Lu Yang.
Lu Jiangan took out a stack of floppy disks from his bag. These were information that Lu Yang found from somewhere. They looked much more interesting than TV and books.
It's embarrassing to talk about it. Lu Jiangan, the temporary worker, was named by Jiang Shulan and borrowed from the Red Shipyard from the Information Office of the Development Planning Division of the Southwest Military Industry Bureau. Normally, no one dared to embarrass him, but no one dared to assign tasks to him.
I had met Jiang Shulan when she first came here. When we talked about Lu Yang, the kid always smiled, but he never said anything about what Lu Jiangan did. After that, he just saw it from a distance.
Lu Jiangan is not a flattering person, nor is he used to pretending to be warm and courteous, or to go directly to the director's office when there is nothing to do. Naturally, he cannot ask for tasks shamelessly.
Director Luo Zhongdong of the Development Planning Department was quite polite every time he saw Lu Jiangan. He also smiled and assigned him a supposedly difficult task. He would observe the specific work of the Information Office and put forward suggestions for improvement, which would last for six months.
At the end of the one-month internship period, write a report and submit it.
As for the so-called colleagues in the information office, forget about it...
Lu Jiangan has been holding his breath this month. He wanted to do something but had nothing to do. He had to meditate on writing reports during the day. In addition to playing with the computer at night and in his spare time, he just relied on reading these materials to pass the time.
These materials are not simple. They are documents closely related to computers and business management. They are not easy to understand, but they are very inspiring. Anyway, if you don’t understand, you can call your son and ask.
Lu Jiangan was so absorbed in watching that he didn't pay attention to the footsteps outside the door. No one would come to him anyway.
Unexpectedly, the footsteps stopped at the door. Lu Jiangan felt something wrong and turned around. A middle-aged man with a slim figure and a square face was already standing behind him with a smile, and seemed to have been watching him for a while.
Lu Jiangan felt that the face of the visitor looked familiar. After thinking for a while, his expression changed, and he knew that he was a big shot in front of him.
"Director Guo, why are you here? I'm sorry I didn't pay attention."
Lu Jiangan's face was a little embarrassed and nervous. He didn't expect that the person coming was actually Guo Yuehu, the top leader of the Southwest Military Industry Bureau, Party Secretary and Director.
I heard that Director Guo is from Shonan Province and is only a few years older than Lu Jiangan this year, but he is already a department-level cadre. There is really no comparison between people.
"It's the weekend, Lao Lu, why are you still at work?"
Guo Yuehu's expression was calm and his tone was intimate. He glanced at the monitor from the corner of his eye. There was a lot of English on it.
"Director Guo, do you know me? It's okay for me to go back to the guest house. I came here to look at the information."
Lu Jiangan was inevitably surprised. He had only seen the leader of the Southwest Military Industry Bureau in front of him from a distance, but he didn't expect that the other person actually seemed to know him.
"Haha, I've also read the article "Because of Digitization" written by your son. It's very interesting."
Guo Yuehu smiled and explained that not many people in the Military Industry Bureau knew about his relationship with Jiang Shulan, and naturally no one could guess that he knew Jiang An.
That kid named Lu Yang wrote that article. Although there was a lot of content that he couldn't understand, it might as well prevent Guo Yuehu from agreeing with Jiang Shulan's evaluation.
Imagine Zhuoqi!
"What are you looking at?"
Guo Yuehu got closer to the monitor and took a closer look. He came over temporarily to pick up something and came to take a look when he saw the lights on in the office downstairs.
The title of the document on the monitor is "Introduction to ERP". Guo Yuehu's English is not that good. He felt a little dizzy when he looked at the first three letters and the string of English at the end.
"Oh, Director Guo, ERP is the English abbreviation of Enterprise Resource Planning. It is the most advanced enterprise management method in the United States. I have just started studying it."
Lu Jiangan quickly learned and sold it. He had just read more than half of it.
"Is this related to computers?"
Guo Yuehu has a mechanical background. He is not too young and is not very good at computers.
However, Guo Yuehu knew that leaders must continue to learn, otherwise they would be eliminated if they could not keep up with the times, so he asked Lu Jiangan in a very friendly manner.
"Yes, this is the more popular mrp2 now, which is the latest management method based on manufacturing resource planning. ERP is one level higher than mrp. It integrates the company's materials, finance, supply, human resources, customers and other related elements.
All are regarded as resources, and computers are used to manage the entire flow of all these resources. Managers can make decisions clearly at a glance. The concept is very advanced."
It was rare for Lu Jiangan to appear in front of the main leaders of the Military Industry Bureau, so he naturally tried his best to show off.
"m...r...p...2?"
Guo Yuehu tried to mobilize his memory. He seemed to have heard of this phrase recently.
"Yes, the mas that our Military Industry Bureau plans to launch, which is the manufacturing application integration system, is a software version of mrp2."
Lu Jiangan's time was not in vain. He was very concerned about the informatization project of the Military Industry Bureau and knew that the bureau planned to purchase a set of expensive software to improve the informatization level of the entire company. This is so fashionable now.
"oh?"
Guo Yuehu's expression became serious, and he thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Lao Lu, please give me a detailed introduction to this ERP and write a report for me. Don't use so much English and be too professional. Can you leave it to me tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow? Can you give me a few days of grace?"
Lu Jiangan fainted. He had just come into contact with this ERP. It would be impossible to complete it tomorrow. He could only bargain with the leader.
"Is three days enough?"
Fortunately, Guo Yuehu is not so unkind.
"That's enough, Director Guo, I will complete the task."
At this time, Lu Jiangan realized that he had been sitting while Guo Yuehu was standing, so he quickly stood up.
"Well, then I'll wait for you. I'll leave first, so don't wait too late."
Guo Yuehu smiled and warned, then turned around and walked away leisurely, seeming quite happy.
Lu Jiangan became completely nervous. He quickly read through the ERP-related information obtained by his son Lu Yang, and then called back overnight to inquire.
For three days in a row, Lu Jiangan couldn't care about anything. He discussed ERP with his son at night and wrote a report during the day. Finally, he finished it on Wednesday night.
"Please, I'll just print a document."
Lu Jiangan arrived at the unit early in the morning and checked it again. He changed a few words and had to print it out again, but the lady in the same office in front of him occupied her position and refused to move.
"What's the rush? Didn't you see that I'm busy? What else are you in a hurry for?"
Sister Gong, a forty-year-old veteran clerk, glanced sideways and continued to print out the large pile of reports slowly. Of course she was not convinced. Lu Jiangan, a related household who sat around all day long, got a higher salary than her.
Remuneration for department-level leaders.
Lu Jiangan was anxious, but there was nothing he could do about it. He knew that some colleagues in the office had strong opinions about him, and it was inevitable to compare their feelings with each other.
"Lao Lu, Director Guo is looking for you, hurry up and go."
At around nine o'clock, Yuan Liming, director of the Information Office of the Development Planning Department, rushed in with a nervous look on his face. Everyone was stunned when he exited.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Lu Jiangan agreed and looked at the stunned Gong sister. She stepped aside as if she was being burned. He smiled apologetically and quickly printed it out. He left the office in a good mood, leaving his broken glasses on the floor.
Is this what my son was joking about on the phone, saying that he wanted to seize the opportunity to have a ‘temporary worker’s counterattack’?
