Ordinary life starting from a courtyard

Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Wages have risen again
Early the next morning, Zhou Wenliang had dinner and said, "I'm leaving."

Zhou's mother cleaned up the dishes, raised her head and said: "Go over and have a look, or tell the leader, we will go back to work in the cinema."

"Mom, I see, I'm leaving first." Zhou Wenliang waved his hand and left.

Zhou Wenwen ran over with her schoolbag on her back and reminded, "Brother, don't forget to buy me a bicycle today."

Zhou Wenliang came under the eaves, unlocked the bicycle, and said helplessly, "I can't forget, how many times have you reminded me?"

"I'm not afraid that you will forget. Brother, how about you send me to school today?"

"It's not good, I'll take you to school, and I'll be late for work when I get back!
I'm a newcomer reporting today, so it's inappropriate to be late. "

"Hmph, brother smelly." Zhou Wenwen stomped her feet, tossed her two braids, and went to school with her schoolbag on her back.

Zhou Wenliang shook his head amusedly, and pushed the car out. On the road, he saw Shazhu, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu walking to the rolling mill in front of him.

Zhou Wenliang ignored the three of them, and rode past them directly on his bicycle.

Silly Zhu saw him passing, and cursed again, but seeing the direction he was walking, he was surprised: "Why is this kid walking this way, isn't he going east?"

Jia Dongxu pointed to the front, surprised: "Hey, it's true, you see Zhou Wenliang went to the rolling mill."

The two of them saw that Zhou Wenliang was riding his bicycle all the way to the east gate of the rolling mill. People he knew well on the road greeted him, and everyone entered the gate during the conversation.

"Strange, what is this kid doing at the rolling mill?"

"Then who knows, maybe he will work in a steel rolling mill in the future." Jia Dongxu joked.

Silly Zhu happily said: "If he dares to come to the rolling mill, I can teach him a lesson."

Yi Zhonghai couldn't think of a reason.

Zhou Wenliang entered the factory following the big flow, and the security department at the gate ignored him, but he was confused where to find someone after entering.

He seldom came to the rolling mill before, and he was in a hurry yesterday without any letter of introduction.

Zhou Wenliang first rode a bicycle around the inside of the rolling mill, lamenting that it is a large factory with more than 1 people, and 3 to [-] family members live here, and the factory area is huge.

The rolling mill has two east and west gates, and has its own residential building for employees, a bathhouse, a nursery, a primary school, a barber shop, a large auditorium, and four large dining halls.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a small independent kingdom.

A big factory is a small society.

The factory building is tall, with continuous hot air pipes, rows of big sycamore trees, and the roar of factory machinery.

The clerks in the factory generally wear a Chinese tunic suit with a collar, which is the work clothes of clerks in this era.

There is also a kind of special clothes for lesbians to welcome foreign guests, referred to as welcome clothes.

Later generations are often seen in the counter sales of supply and marketing cooperatives, as well as the uniforms of female colleagues in the system.

Trendy until the mid 80s.

The workers in the workshop are simple, they are all blue overalls, made of denim, which is durable.

How about a large state-owned factory that distributes clothes and gloves, which can be worn for children after two years of home improvement.

Zhou Wenliang grabbed an employee and asked politely, "Brother, where is the factory manager's office?"

While speaking, he handed over a Peony brand cigarette.

Although Zhou Wenliang doesn't smoke, he didn't smoke in his previous life, what if he smokes and burns his drawing board as a painter.

But I always carry a box in my pocket, don't ask why, it's just the way of the world.

These days, Peony brand cigarettes can be considered high-end products, produced by the Jingcheng Tobacco Factory, and a pack of cigarettes costs [-] cents.

It can be sold as a retail item or as a whole package.

Giving gifts to others has face.

There is a catchphrase: "Senior cadres smoke peony, mid-level cadres smoke Xiangshan, workers, peasants and soldiers get two cents, and rural cadres are happy."

Two cents and three fingers Beihai brand cigarettes, cheap, strong, and a bit high-grade.

The worker looked at the cigarette in his hand and smiled cheerfully: "Brother, the cigarette is not bad."

"Then look, can I get out the cigarettes for you when the cigarettes are running out. Brother, hurry up and tell me where the factory is, I'll go there in a hurry."

The guy didn't talk nonsense, and immediately showed him the way. Afraid that he was too far away, Zhou Wenliang turned and couldn't find him, so he took him there.

Look how much a cigarette can do.

Zhou Wenliang came to the office building, gave the boy another cigarette, thanked him, entered the office building, found the factory manager's office, and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Zhou Wenliang opened the door and entered, and saw Director Yang chatting with someone. After seeing it, Director Yang smiled and said: "Xiao Zhou, you came just in time. I was talking about you. Come on, let me introduce you. This is Director Qi of our Cultural and Propaganda Department, you will listen to his arrangements in the future.

Lao Qi, this is the young talent I told you about. Isn't our factory's propaganda department short of manpower? This is a talent I managed to poach, so you can bring it to me. "Director Yang said jokingly.

Qi Liang from the Propaganda Department was moved in his heart, secretly thinking that this is a relative of Director Yang's family, right?
"Factory manager, don't worry, I will definitely arrange for Xiao Zhou."

Zhou Wenliang hurriedly shook hands with Qi Liang, exchanged polite greetings, and followed him out of the office.

After leaving the door, Qi Liang became more enthusiastic and spoke softly. He put on a face in the factory manager's office before.

"Xiao Zhou, if you have any difficulties in the future, come to me if you encounter something you don't understand, and I will help you answer it."

Zhou Wenliang shook his hand and thanked: "Thank you Director Qi, I will trouble you in the future."

Qi Liang waved his hand: "Don't be so polite.

Let's go, I'll take you to the HR department to join the job..."

Zhou Wenliang followed him all the way to the third floor of the nearby office building to go through the entry procedures. There was no need for a letter of introduction, and he entered the job directly.

The above said hello, and there was a director leading them, and they wanted a letter of introduction.

After entering the job, I followed Qi Liang to the Cultural and Propaganda Department, which is the far right of the office area, and the broadcasting office is 200 meters away.

I don’t know who thought that, the broadcasting department is not with the Cultural and Propaganda Department, aren’t they from the same department? If the superior gives some instructions, it would be a lot of work to run three hundred meters to send it to the broadcasting station.

"Come on, let me introduce you, this is our new Director Zhou..."

clap clap~
There were a lot of people in the Cultural and Propaganda Department, and they applauded so hard that their hands became red.

After introducing him on the first floor, Qi Liang asked his secretary to take him to an office in the office area on the second floor.

There are only two people in this office, one is the chief secretary, who is Qi Liang's secretary, and the other is the eldest sister, Hu Jinfeng.

The secretary is Li Xianguang, in his 30s, pointing to the table by the window, "Xiao Zhou, where is your location? Ask me if you don't understand."

"Thank you, Brother Li, you smoke a cigarette."

Li Xianguang took the cigarette with a smile and said, "Don't be polite to me, we will be in the same office in the future, so we will get closer in the future."

"Okay, Brother Li, I'll buy you a drink when I have time."

Li Xianguang was also polite, and asked him to drink even if he said anything. It seemed that the director brought him here, and everyone didn't know what he was doing, so they were all polite.

I also chatted with the eldest sister Hu Jinfeng next to me. She helped clean up the table. It was just a simple wooden table and there was nothing to clean up.

I also know the job responsibilities.

Sister Hu is mainly responsible for manuscript compilation and review.

It is the literary youth among the workers in the factory. Occasionally write a poem or a small article. If they want to publish it in the factory magazine, they have to go through this review.

After the review, it will be handed over to Zhou Wenliang for proofreading, correcting typos and typesetting.

To add illustrations to articles, of course, this is not often done, and most of them are various posters.

The big slogan on the wall of the factory, and the wall paintings are also under his control.

But it takes a long time to draw this thing once.

And now I have become a clerk, with a salary of 4 yuan for a level 56 clerk.

Anyway, the wages are high.
