Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 209: Becoming a dad and starting to worry about your daughter
He wanted to ask the factory manager, but after thinking about it he decided not to.

Since the other party didn't say anything, why should I ask again.

When you get to the place, you will naturally know it.

With doubts, Xu Jichang followed the director to the factory office and found that the factory leaders were all gathered together, all sitting upright.

In addition to them, there were about a dozen department leaders like Xu Jichang sitting around the table, each of them looking extremely serious.

"Hello, factory director, hello all leaders."

Xu Jichang said hello to Director Gao and other factory leaders.

"Sit down, we'll have a meeting later when everyone is here."

Director Gao pointed to an empty seat at the conference table.

Other factory leaders also nodded to Xu Jichang.

Xu Jichang came to his seat and sat down. He pretended to glance at the other department leaders casually. After checking their expressions, he felt that they should not know the reason for this meeting.

How can such a battle be staged?

Xu Jichang muttered in his heart.

After a while, several more department-level cadres from the factory came into the conference room, and Director Gao announced the start of the meeting.

"The main reason I called you here today is for one thing, and that is the issue of opening the dedicated railway line."

"According to the country's new railway opening plan, our county will have a railway line passing through it by then."

"If we can convince the comrades in the railway department to open a dedicated transportation line for our factory, it will definitely be of great benefit to the production and operation of our factory."

"I have communicated with the leading comrades of the Railway Bureau in the early stage. At present, it seems that the other party is open to the construction of a dedicated railway line."

When Director Gao said this, he looked around and took in the expressions of everyone in the conference room.

Confused, surprised, surprised...

Upon hearing this news, various expressions appeared on everyone's faces, but Xu Jichang was the only one who was different.

There was no ripple on his face, and his eyes were as calm as lake water, as if he was deep in thought.

Very good, emotions and anger are invisible.

This is what the ancients often referred to as the demeanor of a general.

You are truly worthy of being your own student.

Regarding Xu Jichang's performance, Director Gao gave a high evaluation in his heart.

“Dear comrades, dedicated railway lines are the dream configuration of many large-scale production enterprises. With it, factories can save a lot of manpower and material resources, transportation costs will be greatly reduced, and production efficiency and benefits will be greatly improved.

"I can understand the joy of all comrades, and ask you to turn this joy into work motivation and cooperate with the application process in the next process of applying for the dedicated line."

Factory Director Gao said calmly after the cadres calmed down a little, "On behalf of the factory leadership, I announce the establishment of a dedicated railway line application working group. It will be responsible for promoting this work."

"I will be the team leader."

"While the application process is in progress, all departments within the factory must cooperate with each other in accordance with the instructions of the working group."

"I will announce the list of members of the working group..."

Having said this, Director Gao began to read out a series of names to the manuscript.

Xu Jichang listened attentively, his brain running continuously.

There is no doubt that applying for a dedicated railway line is a very important task.Factory Director Gao has sufficient basis for setting up a special working group for this purpose.

It's just that this decision is equivalent to the establishment of a new top command organization in addition to the original factory leadership team.

Even to a certain extent, the orders issued by the working group may be more authoritative than those issued by the factory leadership team. After all, the working group leader is personally served by Factory Director Gao.

That's interesting. This is tantamount to a reshuffle of the original power structure in the factory.

Who gets into the group list and who doesn't are largely decided by Director Gao.Because according to what he just said, the construction of the dedicated railway line was initiated by him alone and has little to do with the members of the factory leadership team. Naturally, he alone has the right to speak about the relevant work.

Just listen and see what the final list looks like.

Xu Jichang smiled slightly in his heart and concentrated his attention, his expression still relaxed.

Beside him, many of the other middle and high-level leaders in the factory looked nervous, and the nasolabial folds on their cheeks were highlighted.

"Qian Jinsong, Tong Guoliang, Xu Jichang..."

After a while, his name still appeared on the list.

Xu Jichang breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and looked at the seat opposite, where he happened to be looking at Qian Jinsong.

Qian Jinsong smiled slightly at him, as if to say congratulations.

Xu Jichang also smiled calmly, feeling emotional in his heart.

Some are happy and some are sad. This time, not all factory leaders are on the list.

My own teacher Gao is really good at it.

It is estimated that those who did not enter are very disappointed and worried at the moment.

In addition, Tong Guoliang's name is also a bit inexplicable. He was clearly not notified to attend the meeting, but he was on the list.

What is the purpose of my teacher doing this?
Xu Jichang thought in his mind while listening to Director Gao continue to speak.

……

After a while, the meeting ended. Xu Jichang stood up and left, but was stopped by Factory Director Gao: "Comrade Jichang, please stay and help the comrades in the factory office clean up the meeting place."

Xu Jichang understood that Director Gao must have something to say, so he agreed to stay.

In fact, there is nothing to do in the conference room, the people in the factory office are enough.

Xu Jichang worked figuratively for a while, and after everyone else in the conference room left, he came to sit down in front of Director Gao.

Director Gao was seen smoking one cigarette after another, as if he was immersed in clouds and mist, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.

"Jichang, how are you getting along with Guoliang recently?"

After Xu Jichang sat down, Director Gao put out his cigarette butt and asked in a calm voice.

"We're getting along very well. What orders does Director Gao have?"

Xu Jichang asked cautiously.

"There's no need to call me Factory Director Gao. It's difficult to speak. Just call me Uncle Gao. That's what Xiao Jing calls me too."

Director Gao said somewhat unexpectedly, "Tell me, why didn't I ask him to attend the meeting when Tong Guoliang was on the list this time?"

"It should be for balance."

Xu Jichang gave the answer to what he had thought about before.

"Yes, that's what it means."

Director Gao was very satisfied with Xu Jichang's inference ability. He placed his hand on the large conference table and tapped it gently, saying,
"The names on the working group list are either the factory leader or the head of the department. You are the only exception."

"If I only let you be on the list, but not Tong Guoliang, who is the head of the department, he will inevitably have emotions in his heart, which will not be conducive to the unity between you, not to mention it will cause discussion."

"So I let you two in. This can also be interpreted to the outside world that I attach special importance to the work of the dealership and can silence outsiders."

"So, Uncle Gao, you didn't notify Director Tong to attend the meeting because..."

Xu Jichang wanted to speak but stopped talking.

"That's right. Each department only needs to send one leader to attend the meeting, and the remaining one person can also take charge of the department's work."

Factory Director Gao said with a smile, "This time you represent the distribution office, next time it will be Tong Guoliang, lest outsiders say I favor one over the other."

"Of course, when important meetings are held, you still have to attend as the representative of the distribution office." "Applying for a dedicated railway line is a major matter and requires the cooperation of all departments in the factory. Your duty is to follow me to meet with the leaders of the railway department. .”

"We must get this thing done. It is related to the development of tens of thousands of factories and the future of the country's fertilizer industry."

"Do you understand it?"

When Director Gao said this, his eyes became bright, and you could clearly see the light in his eyes even through the smoke that had not yet dissipated.

"It's Uncle Gao. I understand the importance of this matter."

Xu Jichang stood up solemnly and said, "I will do my best to do my job well under your leadership."

"Okay, you go back. When you need to go out to meet with the railway leaders, I will send someone to tell you and let you know what preparations you need to make."

Director Gao showed a pleased smile and took out an imported Marlboro cigarette from his pocket and lit it with a match.

After saying goodbye to Factory Director Gao, Xu Jichang walked out of the factory office and saw two factory leaders in front of him walking and talking about something.

Xu Jichang judged based on their backs and confirmed that neither of them was selected for the working group this time. He decided to stop and wait until they were far away before leaving.

As for what the two discussed, Xu Jichang didn't want to hear it. He felt there was no need to get into trouble.

……

During working hours in the afternoon, Xu Jichang met Tong Guoliang at the door of the office.

I saw Tong Guoliang's face full of happiness, just like the New Year.

"Director Xu, come to work."

Seeing Xu Jichang, he greeted Xu Jichang with a cheerful face, "Brother, I really benefited from you this time, so..."

"Don't say that."

Xu Jichang quickly made a surprised look, waved to him and said, "You should join the working group."

"Humble, Director Xu, you are humble."

Tong Guoliang shook his head and said, "I'll have to ask you to worry more about the related work in the team from now on."

"It would not be possible without your hard work."

Xu Jichang said with a smile, turned and entered the office.

Tong Guoliang's attitude was quite sincere and he had no reservations, which was equivalent to making it clear that he would not interfere in matters related to the working group in the future.

This is undoubtedly good news for myself and can avoid a lot of embarrassment and friction.

After entering the office, Xu Jichang walked to the filing cabinet and took out several stacks of documents according to the categories marked by Yu Yingzi.

These documents record the production and sales data of Dongfang Fertilizer Factory, which will be used later when Director Gao meets with the leaders of the railway department.

After looking at the documents carefully for a while, Xu Jichang kept the key figures in mind and wanted to make a few copies of these documents.

But think about it.

Copiers are a scarce item these days. There are only three copiers in a huge factory. Usually, you have to queue up for a long time if you want to copy something.

It's better to wait for Yu Yingzi to come back and let her make copies for herself.

Xu Jichang thought to himself.

Speaking of which, Gu Zhijun and Yu Yingzi should be back in the next two days.

I really can’t wait to see Gu Zhijun and her daughter...

……

The next afternoon, when Xu Jichang returned home, he heard two cries coming from Gu Zhijun's house.

Finally home.

Xu Jichang was so happy that he immediately stopped his bicycle at the corner of the courtyard wall, walked around the courtyard gate, and ran quickly towards Gu Zhijun's house.

In the room, Gu Zhijun was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a little kapok in her arms. Beside her, Lan Qimei and Yu Yingzi were coaxing the child with her.

"Baby, be nice, don't cry..."

Gu Zhijun held the little Kapok in her arms and said, she raised her head when she heard Xu Jichang's footsteps, "Have you got off work? Come and see your child."

After saying that, Gu Zhijun walked towards Xu Jichang holding the child.

"Is it recovering well?"

When Xu Ji saw that Gu Zhijun could walk, he knew that she should be recovering well, but he still asked.

"pretty good."

Gu Zhijun handed the small kapok into Xu Jichang's arms and said, "Look, I can even get down and walk. I feel like I can go back to work in the factory soon."

"It's better to rest more and take care of the children more."

Xu Jichang kissed Kapok hard on his forehead, shook his head and said.

As a result, before Gu Zhijun could answer, Xiao Kapok laughed first.

Although she only changed the expression on her face and did not laugh, this scene still made Xu Jichang and Gu Zhijun very happy.

"This baby is really amazing. He smiled within two days after he was born."

Lan Qimei was even more surprised.She was not there when Gu Zhijun gave birth to the baby, and it was the first time she saw little Kapok smile.

"Yeah, my daughter is just extraordinary."

Xu Jichang coaxed the child twice and said to Lan Qimei, "But let us know about this and don't tell anyone."

"Well, I'll buy a bottle for my child after get off work tomorrow."

Lan Qimei agreed.

Xu Jichang stopped her: "No, we have bought everything for the child."

"You just need to lend a hand and help look after the child."

"Don't worry, I will come and look after the child whenever I have free time."

"I will too!"

Lan Qimei and Yu Yingzi rushed to agree.

After talking to little Kapok again, Xu Jichang hugged her and went to his room to have dinner with Gu Zhijun, Lan Qimei and Yu Yingzi.

During the meal, besides talking to little Kapok, he was still thinking about early childhood education.

He wanted to buy some early education supplies, but the problem was that he couldn't buy these things at the moment. After all, no one had yet developed the awareness of early childhood education.

Then try it on the space shelf.

Just like the gramophone was finally refreshed last time, maybe early childhood education supplies will be refreshed this time.

Xu Jichang thought to himself.

……

As night fell, he was alone in his bedroom and cleared all the merchandise from the shelves.

There are fish and meat in the middle, as well as cod liver oil for babies.

He hid all these goods under the bed and waited for the next refresh.

The next day, Xu Jichang followed the same pattern and emptied the goods again...

It wasn't until the fourth time he entered the space that he saw the infant and early childhood education supplies he needed on the shelves.
