Jiang Yu arrived at the office and saw that the room was full of tables, chairs and benches, feeling a little helpless.
I was led to this door yesterday and I didn't see the situation inside the house at all. I didn't expect it to be so dirty and messy, with dust and spider webs all over the wall.
She didn't dislike it. It was good to have an independent office. Besides, she was not the director, just a small clerk, so this situation was nothing.
It was just a matter of tidying up, and she was not a squeamish person.
Jiang Yu put down her bag and went to the water room on the second floor to fetch water and get a rag, then rolled up her sleeves and started working.
Just as she was clearing the table, a girl in her twenties came outside.
"Is it Director Jiang?" She knocked on the door and couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose because the dust was too heavy.
Jiang Yu turned her head and looked at the other person, "It's me, are you?"
"I am Shi Ling, the clerk of the Labor and Employment Department. Give me your letter of introduction and I will handle it." Shi Ling walked in and couldn't help but sigh when she saw the mess in the room.
"Just put these tables in the storage room next door. It's very busy today, so no one will clean them for you."
Hearing this, Jiang Yu went to take out the torn piece of paper and said sheepishly: "Director Shi, something happened to this guy just now and he was stepped on."
"I will clean up the house, so there is no need to trouble other comrades."
Shi Ling frowned at the result of the letter of introduction. Seeing that she didn't want to say more, she could only accept it. "It's okay, I can still make out the outline. Then go ahead and get busy, I still have something to do over there."
After sending Shi Ling away, Jiang Yu went to the next door to take a look. This room was at the far end, so it was used as a utility room.
In fact, her office is also a utility room, but the space is larger, so it was given to her.
Choose a sturdy table and put the rest next door. There is also a broken bookcase. This one is too heavy, so I will just keep it and tidy it up another day.
By the time she finished packing her room, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. Two and a half hours had passed before she knew it, and she was so tired.
Jiang Yu washed her hands and face, then wiped them clean with a handkerchief, and took her teapot to the water room to get a cup of boiling water.
Don't dare to drink cold water. If you drink raw water like tap water, you will get worms in your stomach.
When I returned to the office, the windows were all open and the wind was blowing quite cool, but there was a smell of dust. There was nothing I could do about it.
"Director Jiang." Secretary Yu walked in with a few documents in his arms. He was very satisfied when he saw that the room was tidy.
"All done? It's quite fast." He said, putting the documents on the table and said: "These are the ones you need to translate. Don't worry, just give them to me at the end of the month."
It was such a huge workload right from the start.
Jiang Yu stood up and smiled: "Okay, Secretary Yu, I will translate it as soon as possible."
She looked at the six folders on the table, which were as thick as six books...
But since it was work, there was definitely no idle job, so she had already been mentally prepared.
Secretary Yu handed her another small dozen of tickets, "This is a meal ticket for the canteen. You can only buy a standard meal of one meat and one vegetarian. If you want to eat anything else, you have to pay for it yourself. This is the standard meal for cadres."
Unlike other workers, all clerks and cadres eat this kind of meal. Those with positions above director can also order other meals.
But few people do this. Everyone is trying to reduce waste, and occasionally they order meals separately when entertaining guests in the factory.
"Thank you, Secretary Yu, for taking your trouble." Jiang Yu thanked him politely, and then saw that he was about to leave, so she sent him out.
When she came back and looked at these documents, she thought that she might as well work in the afternoon. She was tired after being interrupted all morning, and it would be time to eat soon.
It's twelve o'clock for dinner now, and we start work at one o'clock.
Jiang Yu got up and went to other departments to get some empty documents, otherwise there would be no place for the translator to write.
These documents are from ten years ago, and the technology of the rolling mill has stagnated, but they are sufficient for now.
It wasn't until the 1990s that the machines in these factories were updated, and the master fitters gradually changed from being popular to being operators.
Because machines are faster and more accurate than manual labor, they spend a lot of money to replace machines.
During lunch, Jiang Yu took her meal ticket to the canteen. There were many people here, and it was quite spectacular to have thousands of people eating in a large factory.
The whole canteen is like a banquet, with ten people at one table, each eating his or her own thing.
Jiang Yu didn't eat here since she had packed her food, so she might as well go back to the office. There are many people like her who don't want to crowd around there.
There is a lot of meat and vegetables. Mapo tofu contains minced meat, so it is considered a meat dish.
There was also a fried potato slice, and she got a steamed bun as a staple food, which was enough.
But she didn't even finish the meal, so she could just put the lid on and buy some steamed buns when she went home in the evening. It would save trouble if she didn't waste it.
Jiang Yu has devoted herself to translation work since the afternoon. Since she has decided to work, she will do it wholeheartedly.
In her previous life, she also spent several years at work. At that time, she didn't even have a partner, and even a two-day blind date didn't count.
When I think about myself being married, I can't help but laugh a little.
In the past, her colleagues said that she was an old nun with no desires and desires. In fact, she just hadn’t met the right person. Who wouldn’t want to have a family?
But if she finds someone who is unhappy and consumes herself, then she would rather stay single for the rest of her life.
"Just put your things in this room."
Suddenly someone was talking outside. A figure walked to the door and was startled when he saw someone in the room.
"Who are you?" The person who came was a man in his twenties. He was a little confused when he saw that the room was different from before.
Jiang Yu stood up and looked at several people opposite who were moving things. She replied: "I work as a translator, and the room assigned to me by the factory director has been used as an office for me."
Hearing this, the other party nodded clearly. He walked over and said with a smile: "Hello, I am the buyer of our factory. My name is Liu Qinghai."
"Hello, my name is Jiang Yu."
"Then don't bother me. I'll ask them to put the things next door." Liu Qinghai nodded with a smile, and then asked people to put the things next door.
Jiang Yu saw that set of sofas and thought they were quite good. Although they were a bit old, they could still be used after tidying them up.
But she just came to work today, and it was not good to just use things from the factory, so she didn't ask.
When I have a chance in the future, I'll ask Secretary Yu if I can use it so that I can lie down for a while during my lunch break in the office.
The chairs in this office are too rigid, and the wooden ones are not particularly good for the waist.
She went back and continued to translate the document, and she translated half of it in one afternoon.
There is no way, there is no computer now, so I can only write by hand. In addition to the slow speed, my hands are also very tired. It feels like the pain of answering questions every day during the college entrance examination.
If this happened in future generations, she would be able to translate two books in one day and complete the work easily.
After getting off work in the afternoon, Jiang Yu was walking out with the workers, when suddenly someone appeared next to her.
