Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

After Sha Zhu was arrested and taken to the police station, the courtyard returned to peace without this gangster.

Xu Damao was particularly happy to have a son. He carried Xu Aiguo around the compound every day, and when he met neighbors, he would show off his child's cleverness to others.

However, Xu Damao soon fell into sorrow because Qin Jingru could not feed Xu Aiguo enough.

Xu Aiguo was so hungry that he cried loudly every day. Xu Damao was heartbroken. He cooked porridge and wanted to feed him, but Xu's mother stopped him.

"Da Mao, how can such a young child eat pasta? He still has to find a way to get some milk."

"Where can we get that thing? If before liberation, we could spend money to hire a wet nurse. Now that we are liberated and everyone is equal, where will there be a wet nurse?" Xu Damao said with a frown.

Xu Jixiang suggested: "Although there is no wet nurse, there is milk powder. I heard that the factory leaders can get milk powder tickets every year. How about you spend some money to buy some from Factory Director Liu?"

"Yes, yes, why did I forget the milk powder?"

Xu Damao got the idea and immediately rode his bicycle to Lanhua Automobile Factory.

At this time, Wang Weidong and Yu Li were preparing to go to the steel rolling mill. When they saw Xu Damao, they learned that Xu Aiguo needed milk powder. Without any nonsense, he asked Yu Li to get five milk powder tickets and hand them to Xu Damao.

"How much? I'll give it to you." Xu Damao took the milk powder ticket and put it in his pocket with excitement. He took out a stack of banknotes and wanted to hand it to Wang Weidong.

Wang Weidong waved his hand: "Da Mao, you helped me take care of things in the courtyard. Besides, I often eat chicken cooked by Qin Jingru. You can take these milk powder tickets back."

Seeing that Wang Weidong didn't want money, Xu Damao sighed in his heart. It was the wisest decision he had ever made in his life to seek refuge with Wang Weidong.

Although he didn't know the price of the milk powder ticket, he couldn't buy it at the pigeon market, and now Wang Weidong gave it to him casually.

Xu Damao looked solemn: "Director Liu, don't worry, if you ask me Xu Damao to go east, I, Xu Damao, will never go west!"

"Okay, you go quickly. By the way, it seems that milk powder can only be purchased at the Beijing Department Store. Don't go to the wrong place."

Wang Weidong winked at the driver, who stepped on the accelerator and the car sped away.

Looking at the butt of the car, Xu Damao was furious. What kind of factory leader is this?
Xu Damao rode his bicycle to the Capital Department Store and went straight to the milk powder counter on the fifth floor.

He looked at the saleswoman who was eating melon seeds and shouted: "Comrade, please give me two or two cans of milk powder, the kind for children."

Bah. The salesman spat out the melon seeds and did not stand up. Instead, he rolled his eyes at Xu Damao: "Milk powder? Can you afford milk powder?"

The salesperson has to meet so many customers every day, and his eyesight has been honed for a long time. Although Xu Damao is also wearing a gray tunic suit with a white shirt underneath, he does not have the unique temperament of a leader.She has seen too many people like this, and if she had to stand up and deal with them all, she would die from exhaustion.

Xu Damao has been working in the capital for so many years and has encountered this kind of situation frequently, and he never quarreled with the salesperson.

He took out the five milk powder tickets from his pocket, took out two of them, and placed them on the table. Then with a faint smile on his lips, he looked at the salesman and said, "Comrade, please give me two cans of milk powder. "

When the salesperson saw Xu Damao taking out the milk powder ticket, he was stunned and took a long time to react.

She quickly stood up, took the milk powder ticket and checked it carefully. After confirming that the milk powder ticket was not forged, the frost on her face immediately disappeared without a trace, replaced by a warm smile.

"Hey, comrade, why didn't you take out the milk powder tickets earlier!"

"Look at the look in my eyes, it's really bad."

The saleswoman was complimenting her, but she was murmuring in her heart. She had worked in Jingcheng Department Store for so many years and she had never missed it.

Why did you miss it today?
No matter how you look at this guy, he doesn't look like a factory leader.

But when people took out milk powder tickets, she could only greet them with a smile.

The salesperson smiled and said: "The only milk powder suitable for children is the Dabiao Qilin brand milk replacer powder from Northeast China. It comes in a box and costs 15 yuan per box."

"What? 15 yuan?" Xu Damao was shocked. The price of a pound of pork was only more than one yuan. This box of milk powder was worth eight or nine pounds of pork. It was really ridiculously expensive.

The salesperson glanced at Xu Damao suspiciously: "Comrade, the price of milk powder is uniform across the country, and there is no artificial price increase."

"I know, give me two boxes."

Xu Damao knew in his heart that although the salespersons in Beijing Department Store had a bad service attitude, they did not dare to mess with the prices.

He endured his heartache, took out 30 yuan from his pocket, handed it to the salesperson, held two boxes of milk powder in his arms and left the department store.

Seeing people coming and going on the street, Xu Damao sighed in his heart. He originally thought that he could survive for half a year with more than 100 yuan on hand.

Now it seems that there is only enough for two months, so I still have to find a way to sell some of the small yellow croakers obtained from the Lou family.

the other side.

Wang Weidong had already taken Yu Li in a car to the Red Star Rolling Mill in Beijing.

The purpose of his trip was to inspect the newly built workshop of the Jingcheng Steel Rolling Plant and purchase spare parts for the new vehicles of the Lanhua Automobile Factory.

Considering that Wang Weidong's inspection was related to the future of the steel rolling mill, Director Yang of the steel rolling mill, together with the first deputy director Liu Deren, Deputy Director Ma, several deputy directors, and the directors of the new workshop all gathered at the steel rolling mill. At the entrance of the factory, prepare to welcome Wang Weidong's arrival.

Seeing the brand new car approaching from a distance, Director Yang's eyes flashed with envy.

As the director of the steel rolling mill, he also has a special car, but it is left behind by Lou Bancheng. The paint on the car has almost faded a long time ago, and the style is also very old. When driving, he is out of breath, just like an old shabby car. Like a donkey, no one has this brand new car that looks so powerful and domineering.

Click and hold.

The car stopped in front of everyone, and Factory Manager Yang suddenly came to his senses. He quickly stepped forward to greet him and helped open the door of the car.

The deputy directors behind him also followed and said with a smile: "Welcome Director Liu to our steel rolling mill!"

Looking at the young factory director, Director Yang felt a sigh of relief. A few years ago, when Wang Weidong came to the steel rolling mill, it was just a small factory in Ningzhou Lanhua TV Factory.

Orchid TV Factory has no distribution nationwide.

At that time, the steel rolling mill was on the rise. Every time the ministries and commissions held a meeting, he could sit in the front row, but Wang Weidong was not even qualified to participate in the meeting.

Unexpectedly, within just a few years, Wang Weidong would become the director of the largest factory in the country, and he would sit on the rostrum every time.

As the director of a steel rolling mill, he could only squat in a corner because the steel rolling mill was declining.Wang Weidong had not been to the steel rolling mill for several years. He shook hands with Director Yang and others, said hello, and then walked slowly into the steel rolling mill.

It has been several years, but the steel rolling mill has not changed at all. The road surface is broken and cracked, and the walls of the workshop are still made of blue bricks, but the painted slogans on them are somewhat obscured by the passage of time.

"Director Liu, in order to be able to complete the manufacturing of accessories, our steel rolling mill has specially prepared a new workshop. The equipment and technical personnel in it are the best in our steel rolling mill, and they will definitely be able to produce qualified accessories."

Hearing Director Yang's self-praise, Wang Weidong nodded silently and did not answer the question. Whether the accessories were qualified still needed to be inspected.

It just so happened that he also brought special inspection personnel with him this time, and he would know the results later.

"This is the new workshop. There are more than 500 workers in it, all of whom are level [-] or above, including two level [-] workers." Director Yang said with some pride.

"Eighth level worker?" Wang Weidong was stunned for a moment.

To manufacture this kind of workpiece, the types of work required are welders and assemblers. Are there still grade [-] welders and grade [-] assemblers in the steel rolling mill?
When he entered the workshop and saw Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai, Wang Weidong almost couldn't help laughing.

As a fitter, Yi Zhonghai is assigned to the production line and is responsible for assembling accessories.

As for Liu Haizhong, who was a blacksmith, he now became a welder, squatting there with a welding gun and sizzling.

Wang Weidong really felt aggrieved by the small chair under his butt. His small body could actually support more than 200 kilograms of weight in his bangs.

The quality is really good.

In fact, Wang Weidong didn't care about the appearance of the two people. What he did care about was that the workers in the workshop, like Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, were all temporarily transferred from other workshops. Although they were all senior workers, because now What he was doing was not essential work, so not only was he not technically proficient, but his manufacturing speed was also very slow.

This is equivalent to asking a group of people engaged in scientific research to dig the ground in the fields. Those professors and scholars who can calculate satellite data in the laboratory are not as good as the illiterate old farmers when hoeing the ground.

In this case, it is almost impossible to produce qualified accessories.

Of course, Wang Weidong did not put forward any opinions. After all, no conclusion could be made until the test results came out.

The workshop director of the new workshop is a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears, about the same size as Liu Haizhong, and his name is Wang Youcai.

When Wang Weidong followed the factory leader into the workshop, he was lying on the sofa in the office and sleeping. When he heard the assistant's notice, he quickly got up from the sofa and ran to the workshop.

At this time, his eyes were still filled with eye drops.

Seeing Wang Youcai's appearance, Director Yang frowned in annoyance, turned his head and glared at Deputy Director Liu Deren.

This Wang Youcai was the section chief of the Materials Section of the Logistics Department and had no experience as a workshop director. He was appointed as the new workshop director only after Liu Deren's strong recommendation.

Although Liu Deren kept saying that only by boldly promoting new people can the new workshop avoid the dilemma of going down the same old path without breaking or establishing. However, Factory Director Yang later inquired and found out that Wang Youcai was actually the younger brother of Liu Deren's wife.

But it was a done deal at that time, and he was unwilling to offend Liu Deren for no reason, so he didn't say anything more and accepted Wang Youcai as the workshop director by default.

Deputy factory director Liu Deren also realized that his wife's brother had made a mistake, and he quickly stepped forward to cover up: "Director Liu, you may not understand that Comrade Wang Youcai started work, but he is a famous desperate man in our steel rolling mill.

In order to improve product quality and output.These days, he works until two or three in the morning every day and spends the whole night in the office. He doesn't get a good rest. It's normal to catch up on some sleep during the day. "

As he spoke, Liu Deren winked at Wang Youcai.

Wang Youcai also woke up at this moment, nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I was busy until four o'clock last night. This morning I really couldn't hold on any longer, so I just slept for a while."

Wang Weidong laughed and said nothing more. Instead, he turned around and looked at Mr. Zhang who was in charge of quality inspection.

"Gong Zhang, this is the workshop that will provide us with accessories. You can test the products now to see if they meet the quality standards of our Lanhua Automobile Factory."

"Yes!"

Mr. Zhang walked to the workbench with a canvas bag on his shoulder, picked up a finished accessory and inspected it with tools.

Seeing this scene, Wang Youcai's face turned pale with fright.

Others don't understand, but as the director of the new workshop, he knows very well that since the new workshop was put into operation, not only has the output failed to keep up, but the pass rate has also fallen far short of the standard.

If this is found out, it will be a big trouble.

It's just that although Wang Youcai is the workshop director, he can't speak in front of Wang Weidong and can only wink at Liu Deren.

Seeing Wang Youcai winking at him, Liu Deren felt annoyed.

When selecting a new workshop director, Liu Deren also realized the importance of this position and originally wanted to hand over this position to an experienced workshop director.

Unexpectedly, Wang Youcai heard the news and came to his home overnight, saying that this was a rare opportunity.

Liu Deren knew what he meant. This kid had no ability, but he had a heart to climb up. He was now the chief of the Materials Department. If he had no grassroots leadership experience, he would never be the director of the Logistics Department.

Liu Deren knew his details and knew that he could not hold up the wall, so he did not originally intend to let him be the director of the workshop.

However, Liu Deren was a henpecked guy, and Wang Youcai's sister had a cold war with him for two days before he gave in.

Wang Youcai had to be appointed as the director of the new workshop.

At the same time, Wang Youcai was also told to continue to get rid of his previous bad habits and to arrest the new workshop so as not to embarrass him.

Considering Wang Youcai's lack of experience, Liu Deren also transferred an experienced deputy workshop director to serve as Wang Youcai's deputy.

I originally thought that with these complete arrangements, there would be no problems in the new workshop. Who knows, Wang Youcai still messed up the matter.

Liu Deren rolled his eyes, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Director Liu, it's almost noon time. Should we go to the canteen and have a working meal before inspecting the workpieces? After all, the body is the capital of work, so don't eat Well, how can it work?”

He had already thought about asking Wang Youcai to throw away all the unqualified workpieces while Wang Weidong was eating, so that even if the output was smaller, it would not delay the important matter.

Although Wang Weidong couldn't figure out Liu Deren's crooked idea, the purpose of his trip was to inspect the workpiece, not to eat.

So he refused Liu Huaide's invitation without hesitation.
