Chapter 884: Taking over the shift at the steel rolling mill, meeting Qin Huairu again
I had dinner at Xu Damao's house yesterday, and today I met Xu Damao for the first time when I came to the steel rolling mill. I don't know what the fate is.
Although he only had a drink with Xu Damao, Zhou Chen had already understood Xu Damao's personality. This guy's drinking was a bit poor. He couldn't control his mouth when he was drunk and could easily be tricked.
Xu Damao was also surprised. When he was drinking yesterday, he told Zhou Chen about taking over his job at work. He didn't expect that Zhou Chen would come today.
"Zhou Chen, did you come to the factory today to cover your shift?"
"Yes, Xu Damao, do you know who I should contact about this matter?"
"Of course I'm looking for the factory director. That's Factory Manager Yang, whom you met half a year ago."
After Xu Damao's reminder, a figure suddenly appeared in Zhou Chen's memory.
It was when he was organizing a funeral for his father, and the factory leaders went there to attend in person. It was at that time that Zhou Chen met Director Yang of the steel rolling mill.
He still remembered that Director Yang apologized to him, promised that he could take over his job in the future, and gave him a lot of compensation, etc.
In that brief encounter, Director Yang seemed to be a relatively easy-to-talk person. Of course, it may have been a persona created by Director Yang at that time in order to win people's hearts.
However, this has no impact on Zhou Chen, because whether it is sincere or to win people's hearts, as Zhou Heyun's son, he will definitely not be treated badly.
As long as he is allowed to enter the steel rolling mill, with his ability, no matter where he starts learning, he can quickly get started.
It's just that he has made up his mind that in the next ten years, he can be strong inside the courtyard, but he should keep a low profile outside and protect himself first.
"Zhou Chen, I will take you to find the factory director."
Xu Damao is very enthusiastic. In normal times, he has no reason to go to the factory director. Now Zhou Chen's incident has given him an opportunity to increase his presence in front of the factory director.
So without waiting for Zhou Chen to speak, he stopped his bicycle, told the security guard at the door, and pulled Zhou Chen towards the factory.
For Zhou Chen, Xu Damao's appearance saved him a lot of trouble. With Xu Damao leading the way, he no longer had to ask others for help.
Under the leadership of Xu Damao, they came to an office building. This was a three-story building. The factory director's office was on the third floor.
Standing at the door of the factory director's office, Zhou Chen felt nothing, but Xu Damao looked nervous. He quickly arranged his clothes, took a deep breath, raised his hand, and knocked lightly on the door.
"Director Yang, are you there?"
"who?"
A lively voice sounded from inside, and Xu Damao's face suddenly became happy. Even though he didn't see anyone, his tone was full of flattery.
"Director Yang, I am Xu Damao, the projectionist in the factory."
"come in."
After receiving the reply, Xu Damao did not open the door immediately and went in. Instead, he whispered to Zhou Chen: "When you meet the factory director later, have a better attitude. If you leave a good impression on the factory director, it will be very good for us."
advantageous."
Zhou Chen was speechless. Xu Damao really didn't miss any opportunity to express himself, but he didn't say anything.
Xu Damao's mentality is normal. Director Yang is the director of the steel rolling mill. In this era, the director is not only responsible for management.
Factory workers' life, old age, illness and death, weddings and funerals, food and drink expenses, including children's schooling, etc., are all inseparable from the factory.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the steel rolling mill remains, many people will be closely related to the steel rolling mill throughout their lives.
Under such circumstances, as the director of a steel rolling mill, his power was far beyond the reach of future factory directors.
It is perfectly normal for Xu Damao to want to curry favor with Director Yang.
"go in."
Xu Damao then carefully opened the door and walked into the office.
Although this is the factory director's office, it is not as magnificent as imagined. Instead, it is very simple, and can even be said to be a bit old-fashioned.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a washbasin stand next to the door. Looking inside, I saw a set of ordinary wooden old-fashioned sofa and coffee tables. At the end was a desk, and a middle-aged man was sitting at the desk.
Then look at the file.
After Zhou Chen and Xu Damao came in, Director Yang raised his head, saw the two people appearing in front of him, and recognized Xu Damao.
If it were an ordinary worker, Director Yang might not be able to remember it, but Xu Damao was a rare projectionist in the factory. Every time a movie was shown, Xu Damao was indispensable, so Director Yang naturally remembered this projectionist.
"Xu Damao, are you okay?"
Although he was asking Xu Damao, his eyes fell on Zhou Chen involuntarily, and his brows furrowed slightly.
He felt that Zhou Chen was a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.
Xu Damao nodded and bowed and said: "Director Yang, this is Zhou Chen from our hospital. He is the son of Master Zhou who was injured at work more than half a year ago."
With such a reminder, Factory Manager Yang immediately remembered. After all, there were many work-related injuries in the factory, but fatal work-related accidents were very rare, so when Xu Damao mentioned Master Zhou, he thought of Zhou Heyun.
He stood up immediately and looked at Zhou Chen in surprise: "You are Master Zhou's son. We have met before, do you remember?"
Zhou Chen said: "Of course I remember. At that time, I was still immersed in the sadness of my father's death, so I didn't have time to thank the factory director for his care. I came here today specifically to thank you. I know that Factory Director Yang is honest and honest, so I just brought him
Two bottles of wine, please don’t dislike it, the factory manager.”
With that said, he placed the two bottles of wine he just bought today on the coffee table.
Director Yang hurried over, picked up the wine on the coffee table and returned it to Zhou Chen: "How can this be done? No, no."
Zhou Chen said gratefully: "That's right, Director Yang. This is to thank you for taking care of me. That's right."
Xu Damao also worked hard to increase his sense of presence: "Director, this is Zhou Chen's intention. He said it before he came. If you hadn't spoken, Director, his father's matter would not have been resolved so quickly. Compared to
This, these two bottles of wine are nothing."
Zhou Chen glanced at Xu Damao, "Good guy, if I didn't know, I would have thought this was a gift from you. You are quite thick-skinned."
Director Yang still refused, but Zhou Chen said again, if you don't accept it, you will be embarrassed to say the next words.
In the end, Director Yang couldn't shirk it and had no choice but to accept the two bottles of wine.
After a few pleasantries with Director Yang, Zhou Chen directly stated his purpose.
"Director Yang, I just returned from the army yesterday and my registered permanent residence has been moved back. I came to see you today because I wanted to take advantage of the year before to settle down on my job. This will help me solve a problem."
Factory Director Yang was not surprised. The job in the steel rolling mill was pretty good in Sijiu City. It was a carrot and a pit. It was not easy for ordinary people to get in. It was normal for Zhou Chen to want to come.
"I'll just call you Xiao Zhou."
"As you wish."
"Xiao Zhou, I understand how you feel. This is also a decision that our factory leaders have made a long time ago. If you want to take over, you can take over at any time. However, I still have to ask one more question, have you really made your decision?"
Zhou Chen nodded without hesitation: "Yes, factory director, I have already thought about it. My dad has worked in the factory for so many years. I want to take over his work and continue to contribute to our steel rolling factory.
Contribute your own efforts to social development and progress."
Director Yang clapped his leg and praised: "Okay, that's well said. There are so few young people with consciousness like you now. It seems that the army is indeed a good place to train people. Xiao Zhou, I am very optimistic about you. You
I will definitely become an excellent worker like your father."
"Don't worry, director, I will do my best to complete the work in the factory..."
It was just a scene talk, Zhou Chen had already opened his mouth to speak, and coupled with the actor-level performance, Director Yang was even more impressed.
This is a good boy who is aware and thoughtful.
"The Chinese New Year will be here in two months. Xiao Zhou, you just came back. Why don't you take a break and go back to work after the New Year?"
"No need, director, I'm always ready and ready to work at any time."
"Okay, since you are determined, then I will fulfill your wish. I will write you a note later, and you can go to the Human Resources Department to find..."
Zhou Chen works under his father's supervision, and the procedures are complete, so Director Yang does not need to hold further meetings to study, and can directly accept Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen thanked him again before leaving the factory director's office.
After walking out of the office building, Xu Damao smiled and congratulated: "Zhou Chen, congratulations, we will be colleagues from now on."
Zhou Chen said: "Da Mao, thank you for your guidance just now. If I can help you with anything in the future, I will definitely not refuse."
"Haha, why are we brothers talking about these foreign things?"
Although he said this, Xu Damao was already happy in his heart. He felt that Zhou Chen had already trusted him very much because of his efforts yesterday and today. It seemed that he could find a way to get Zhou Chen to help him when dealing with Silly Zhu in the future.
Already.
"Zhou Chen, I have to go to the countryside to play a movie. I don't have time to go to the Human Resources Department with you. You can go by yourself. I'll leave first."
Xu Damao finally remembered his business and left in a hurry.
Zhou Chen took the note approved by Director Yang and found the head of the Human Resources Department. The Human Resources Department asked Zhou Chen to come to work the day after tomorrow.
After all this work was done, it was already late afternoon, and various departments in the steel rolling mill were starting to get off work one after another. Before Zhou Chen could leave the factory gate, he actually met an acquaintance again.
"Zhou Chen!"
Zhou Chen turned around and looked: "Sister Qin."
Qin Huairu looked at Zhou Chen with a sweet smile and asked, "Why are you here?"
Zhou Chen said: "I came to the factory to complete the entry procedures, and I will come to work the day after tomorrow."
"Are you going to take over your shift?"
Qin Huairu was surprised but not surprised. She was surprised because Zhou Chen was so fast. He just came back yesterday and came to the factory today.
She was not surprised because she knew about the situation of taking over the shift. She had to take over the shift of her husband Jia Dongxu so that she could come to work in the steel rolling mill. Zhou Chen's situation was as special as hers, so he was naturally qualified to take over the shift.
"Um."
Zhou Chen responded and looked at Qin Huairu carefully.
Because it was getting late last night, I couldn't see very clearly, but now I can see very clearly.
I have to say that although Qin Huairu is a White Lotus, she does have the capital.
She is thirty-two years old this year and has given birth to three children, but she still maintains a very good figure, plump and charming.
Especially her eyes, which seemed to be born with a charming charm, making her look even more charming.
With her beautiful appearance, plump figure, and excellent skills, it's no wonder that He Yuzhu is easily manipulated by her and is willing to be a steamed bun for the rest of her life.
Qin Huairu looked envious: "It's great. You have a job, you are handsome, and your conditions are good. It will be too easy to get married in the future. Zhou Chen, would you like me to introduce you to some beautiful girls?"
Girl?"
Zhou Chen said calmly: "Thank you, Sister Qin, for your concern, but I haven't stabilized yet and haven't considered this aspect."
"It's time to think about it. Many people like you in our factory are already fathers. By the way, Zhou Chen, are you twenty-four or twenty-five this year?"
"Twenty-four, twenty-five years from now."
"so good."
A trace of envy flashed in Qin Huairu's eyes. As each year passed, she missed her youth more and more.
Although she married Jia Dongxu and realized her wish to jump from the countryside to the city, her life in the Jia family was not very good, especially after Jia Dongxu died and had to have such a mother-in-law and three children.
How could life be good for a child?
In recent years, she has resorted to many tricks in order to live a better life.
Seeing Zhou Chen, she couldn't help but feel a contrast in her heart. If she had found a husband with conditions like Zhou Chen's, her life would definitely not have been so miserable.
"Have you finished your work? Let's go back together."
Zhou Chen asked with a smile: "Come back with me? Sister Qin, aren't you afraid that your mother-in-law will see you and scold you again?"
Qin Huairu immediately glared at Zhou Chen coquettishly and stretched out her hand to hit him.
"You brat, are you kidding your sister?"
Zhou Chen's heart was as calm as water. He had the ability to keep his mind calm. How could a mere Qin Huairu make him distracted?
"No, let's go. Anyway, I live in the front yard and you live in the middle yard. Your mother-in-law doesn't know that we went back together."
"He also said, I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"
Zhou Chen said: "I'm afraid that if your mother-in-law scolds me again, I won't be able to control myself and want to whip her."
Qin Huairu was not angry either. Instead, she smiled and cursed: "My mother-in-law is your elder."
"Elder? Just her?"
Zhou Chen looked disdainful: "Last night I was just trying to give you face, Sister Qin. Otherwise, if she said that to me, I would have slapped her long ago based on my temper."
"Okay, okay, I know you are great, let's go now."
As soon as the two of them walked out of the factory gate, they met another person. It was really a coincidence.
"Qin Huairu, Zhou Chen, why did you come out of the factory together?"
The person he met was the elder Yi Zhonghai. He was very surprised to see Zhou Chen and Qin Huairu coming out together.
Qin Huairu explained to Yi Zhonghai, and when Yi Zhonghai learned the reason, he was filled with admiration.
"Yes, Zhou Chen, you have done a good job in this matter. It seems that you have made some progress in the past few years as a soldier. Your father will definitely be very pleased if he knows."
Zhou Chen couldn't say he disliked the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai, but he couldn't say he liked him either, because Yi Zhonghai was really not upright in his conduct and work.
People who have seen the Siheyuan all say that the first uncle Yi Zhonghai is a moral god and a hypocrite. He only blames others from the moral high ground, but what he does is not moral at all.
Although it's not completely correct, it still makes sense. Yi Zhonghai can be considered reasonable in dealing with matters other than the people he cares about.
But once it involves Silhu or Qin Huairu, his partiality is outrageous. Moreover, when it comes to issues related to his own pension, there is no bottom line.
In the plot, Silly Zhu was deceived so badly that Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai took 90% of the credit.
It is difficult for people to like and respect such a person.
