1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 312 Installing the Phone
mid-September.

The big secret above, Secretary Zhou, called Luo Tao and told him that the Sports Commission was about to hold our country's first disabled people's sports in Luzhou City, Anhui Province.

This is good news for Luo Tao and Maple Leaf. It is a good opportunity for advertising, which must be won.

Luo Tao thanked Secretary Zhou profusely and said that he would treat him to a casual meal when nothing else happened.

As an important figure, of course he would not accept the invitation. Most of today's officials are relatively self-sufficient. At most, they like to drink Maotai at the wine table.

Luo Tao also understood that as long as such a person could talk, he didn't need to ask for much else. His identity was too sensitive.

The two hung up the phone without talking much, and Luo Tao called Luo Feng, who had just returned two days ago.

"Lao Luo,...yes, that's what I mean. We sponsor clothing for free, and we just want to be shown in the news reports."

"Okay, that's it, it must be fast."

As soon as Luo Tao put down the phone, he felt a pair of eyes staring at him.

"Uncle Wang, do I have a bad face today?" The old man didn't know what was wrong with him today. He kept staring at me during the phone call, which was very awkward.

"No." He smiled awkwardly and waved his hands quickly.

He didn't have any more words to say, so he concentrated on calculating his small accounts.

"See you later!" Luo Tao didn't want to waste time guessing what he was thinking. Isn't there a lyric that says this?Don't guess what the old man is thinking. You won't be able to figure it out even if you keep guessing.

Luo Tao left his oil and salt shop and just turned a corner when Uncle Wang muttered something.

"You are so rich, why don't you know how to ring a phone and show off in front of me every day?"

"I've messed with whoever I've messed with, and I've gotten pink eye recently."

Looking at the corner where Luo Tao disappeared, the nearly sixty-year-old man felt a lot of emotion.

Luo Tao doesn't like to do anything else when he returns home, he just likes to stay with his daughter.

The carefree days passed for a few more days, and suddenly one day, a call came from the city telling Luo Tao to attend the ceremony on October [-]st, and the invitation arrived soon after.

This is really great news. I never thought that I would be able to survive this day.

The next day after hanging up the phone, what was amazing was that all the nearby neighbors knew the news and surrounded the Luo family for two or three days.

This was very tiring for Luo Tao. They chatted one after another. What was even more annoying was Aunt Liu. She actually brought many leaders from the street office to the door.

Of course he had to treat his parents well when they came to visit him. His written words were sentence after sentence. Luo Tao nodded until his neck hurt, and smiled until his mouth got bigger.

You have to suffer this, because you are a good-tempered person and you are a native. These people can't afford to offend you.

After this incident, Luo Tao finally made up his mind and prepared to ring.

There was no need to contact Qin Hua for this matter. The district leader asked his secretary to call him and said that he would arrange for staff to install the phone as soon as possible.

Residential telephones have been available since 1982. The Ministry of Agriculture paid for a small switchboard in Nongfengli. Dozens of households have installed telephones. I heard it only costs a few yuan per month.

At that time, Luo Tao wanted to install one, but unfortunately the switch here in Xinjiekou was too small, and the policy did not support private installation. They were mainly public telephones.

Even if it is pressed, this thing is enough to run.

In May of this year, "Jingcheng Daily" reported that a professional mushroom grower in the FT area installed a telephone in his home. Since then, there has been an unprecedented boom in telephone consumption.

In just a few months, hundreds of households had telephones installed.

I just mentioned this in the morning, and someone from the telephone company came to my home in the afternoon to install it.

No need to pay in advance or wait in line, it’s that special.

It's very easy to pull a telephone wire over, you just need to fix it on each pole.

The masters are quick in their movements and do their work without any sloppiness.

When it came to the hospital, they also arranged the phone lines very carefully.

"You guys are smoking." Luo Tao spread cigarettes for the four of them.

One was a section chief, and he was not too young. This person was very good at flattering, and he took Luo Tao's self-satisfaction in just a short while.

What Jane is in the heart of the emperor, the future is bright, and even boasted that Luo Tao is a jade tree facing the wind, with great talents and looks better than Pan An.

oops! TM What a talent!With such a unique skill at his side, I don’t know how he could become a department-level leader. This is very unlike our style.

"Mr. Luo, you're so polite. We're just here for a while, drinking tea and making tea...Brothers, we must do a good job here!"

He took the Chinese cigarette from Luo Tao very respectfully, his little hands very excited.

"Section Chief Zhao, you can do it! That's good. Thank you, Mr. Luo."

The remaining three are honest cooks.

"Don't be in a hurry, take your time." Luo Tao finally got a chance to smoke at home. He didn't rush them, he just watched. Although he couldn't understand, it didn't stop him at all while smoking heavily.

"Chief Zhao, are you responsible for the Dongcheng side?"

I have a telephone installed in my home, so I can’t forget my father-in-law and Mr. Jin.

I thought it would be better to install them all at once, so that it would be easier to contact them later.

"We are responsible for the districts and counties in the west of our area, and there is another team in the east city. If you need it, it's just a phone call away."

This guy doesn't look like he's bragging. He's just a member of the industry. He must have looked down before looking up.

"That's good, my father-in-law didn't press the button, so I thought I'd give them one too. If possible, please tell me a time..."

This county magistrate is not as good as the current one, and Luo Tao also holds the idea of ​​having multiple friends and multiple ways out.Besides, I'm not a great person, so there's no need to put myself on a high pedestal.

If you are far away from the people, you will really become a loner.

Little people also have great wisdom, who knows one day they will be able to ask for help.

"You're too kind. How about tomorrow morning?"

"That's great,……"

The two chatted for a while, and the man who installed the phone said that it was just about to be opened.

After about an hour, the phone call was finally made, and Luo Tao tried to call the hotel in Houhai.

"Hey, who is it?"

"I'm Luo Tao, save me a private room tonight."

It’s convenient to have a phone. If we’re in a bad mood, we’ll just order takeout.

Installing this phone is not cheap, it costs more than 5000 yuan in total, but this money is a waste for Luo Tao.

"Teacher Zhu, pay."

Zhu Lin came from the east wing and handed the money he had prepared to Section Chief Zhao.

"They are all doing things for the country. I will accept the money. If you have anything to do in the future, just tell me. It's just a phone call away."

Ever since I got to know Section Chief Zhao, he has mentioned "a phone call" no less than six times, a very unique catchphrase. This man is very ambitious!

"That's right. I'll have to trouble you a lot from now on. If there's nothing else to do tonight, how about we go to Xichang Building for a casual meal?"

The three rice cooks really wanted to try something new, but Section Chief Zhao was hesitant.

"Mr. Luo, let's forget about this meal! There are too many things in the bureau..."

He also wanted to go, but he cared more about his official career and wanted to return to his hometown as soon as possible.

"These are people who are doing serious business. I didn't think carefully. How about I invite a few of them over the weekend?"

"Thank you Mr. Luo, you are so approachable..."

The few of them chatted for a while, and before leaving, each of Luo Tao was given a pack of Chinese cigarettes. The price of this gift was neither light nor heavy, and it was all about face.

After seeing them off, Zhu Lin called her mother to show off.
