Ants exploded, I opened a power plant to supply power to the world

Chapter 343 Chapter 342 Meeting with Mr. Wang again

At the Zhetong Electric Power Museum in Shima Town, many benches are set up at the waiting area for tourists at the entrance, so that tourists can rest on the benches when there are many people.

But Zhetong Electric Power is a company after all, and its external appeal is not particularly strong.

The people who come here to visit are basically from nearby counties and districts. Another major group of tourists are the employees of Zhetong Electric Power.

As an employee of Zhetong Electric Power, basically everyone has an eight-day free vacation every year, and this vacation is excluded from statutory holidays.

In other words, as long as you are willing to save up your vacation time, you can add up the eight days of vacation time during holidays like the National Day holiday, and that would be a real half-month vacation.

However, eight days is more than enough time to travel to another city or somewhere else to rest and relax for a while.

This alone makes it much better than most companies. Although it cannot be compared with the 15-day annual leave in some places, it is still pretty good.

Therefore, many Zhetong employees are still willing to go out during holidays. They have a strong sense of belonging and honor to Zhetong.

Under such circumstances, everyone who has the opportunity will naturally be willing to come to the Zhetong Electric Power Museum in Shima Town to learn about their own company's culture and development history.

Different from that tough and boring arrangement, Zhetong can force the group's employees to understand the so-called corporate culture, but with high welfare, high treatment and a humane working environment, everyone loves Zhetong Power and loves and enjoys the pride of being a member of Zhetong Power.

This sense of pride cannot be instilled; employees need to experience it slowly on their own.

Everyone is willing to come here, including many employees of the Binhai headquarters. Some people will take the bullet train to Quanhe on weekends, and then take a bus to Shima Town, Lincheng.

The two-day trip is quite rushed, but some people are willing to do it.

Every day, a steady stream of Zhetong Power employees come to visit the Zhetong Power Museum in Shima Town. It might even be an exaggeration to say that it is a bit like a pilgrimage.

Basically, this flow of people occurs every day, and the museum has even hired some staff specifically for this purpose.

The Zhetong Museum is an independent department within the Zhetong Electric Power Group. Lin Zhe originally approved a total of eight people's "establishment", and these eight people were all from Shima Town.

Compared to other positions, such as factory staff or other positions, Lin Zhe feels that places like museums still require a certain level of cultural literacy to be competent.

So these eight people were all recruited from college students in Shima Town, and they all applied for jobs at Zhetong Electric Power after graduating from college.

Lin Zhe even knew some of them. They had played together when they were children. There were four boys and four girls. Two of them were security guards, and the rest were responsible for maintenance, closing the museum, and explaining the museum.

Basically, the configuration is completely sufficient, but compared to some large museums, these eight people are definitely not enough.

But fortunately, the factory is located in Shima Town, and it takes about ten minutes to get to the museum from the factory by riding an electric bike or motorcycle, so a lot of work is "affiliated" with the factory.

For example, regarding the employees' meals, among the eight people, only two are from Shima Town, and the remaining six are from several villages under Shima Town.

It would be much more troublesome for them to choose to go home for meals every day, as walking back and forth would consume a lot of commuting time.

So the best way is naturally to eat in this town. It is quite expensive to eat in restaurants or bistros every day, and you will inevitably get tired of it if you eat too much.

Therefore, their meal problem was directly assigned to Zhetong's factory in Shima Town. Every day at mealtime, the employees on duty would be left behind, and the rest would go to the factory canteen to eat, and then come back to take their place.

In addition, the plumbers from the factory can also come and help solve some water and electricity technical problems in the museum.

So don’t be fooled by the small number of people, but there is really enough space in the museum.

……

Today was just like any other day. When the museum opened, there were already more than a dozen employees of Zhetong Electric Power who had come from the mountain city outside.

This was not a team-building event or anything like that. Some employees from the Shancheng Plant of Zhetong Electric Power decided to take an annual leave together, so naturally they would take a few days out to visit Quanhe.

Other attractions are just a side trip, but this Chetong Museum is definitely a must-visit and it is the first destination.

They were quite excited to come here. Parked at the door was Zhetong's earliest power supply vehicle, a Great Wall pickup truck. Of course, it was not as good as the Buick Falcon they were using now, but it still carried some memories.

"Wow~ Chief Liu and his team drove this Great Wall pickup truck, right? It looks pretty good."

"Yes, after Section Chief Liu was transferred to our factory as Section Chief, he often talked about the early days of our group. He started out as a grassroots electrician and drove a Great Wall pickup truck like this one."

As they talked, the group of people excitedly walked around the pickup truck and took out their cell phones to take pictures.

The Section Chief Liu they are talking about is one of the earliest employees of Zhetong Electric Power. He was also a front-line electrician responsible for grassroots work in the power plant at the beginning. At the beginning, they drove this pickup truck to every village and every hill in Shima Town.

Later, the power maintenance work was directly transferred from the Shancheng factory.

……

In addition to these people, there were more than a dozen tourists from nearby counties, all of whom drove here.

After all, the distance is not far. At this time, when going out with family to play, you naturally won’t choose a place that is too far away. The Zhetong Electric Power Museum is actually a good choice.

It's quite lively when these people are together, and the bench has become an "intelligence station" in the town.

The people in Zhetong built this place beautifully, and it is very comfortable to sit in, so everyone likes to come here to bask in the sun, play chess or cards, etc.

Among them is Wang Shuqing, who retired from Zhetong Electric Power.

You don’t have to work after retirement, but you still have to entertain yourself. It’s fun to play cards and chat with the old men in town.

Moreover, as an old man with a monthly pension of more than 10,000 yuan, he can live very well here. Moreover, he is generous and he brings a pack of good cigarettes from home every day and spends all the money playing cards in the morning.

Take a few for yourself and give the rest away.

In this way, these old guys and old friends were all happy to play with him, and Wang Shuqing would invite the old guys to have a drink from time to time, which was naturally welcomed.

Moreover, this place has a special meaning to Mr. Wang. If there are many people here, he can also chat with the new employees of Zhetong Electric Power who come here to visit.

As people who have appeared on the group’s official account several times, many employees know Wang Shuqing.

When we meet, we greet each other warmly.

Hearing these young people calling him "Director Wang, Engineer Wang" one after another, Wang Shuqing felt happy from the bottom of his heart. If it was hot in the summer, he would go to the town's store at his own expense to buy a few boxes of ice cream and give them out for free to the people in line.

In his words, most of those queuing up are “insiders” of Zhetong Electric Power, and he is happy to spend some money on himself.

His wife had no objection to this and even often helped Wang Gongfa. It was not for anything else, but because the family was not short of money now, the children's major events were settled, they had a car and a house, and they had grandchildren. As long as they were happy with the money, it didn't matter if they spent more. Besides, the money was all brought by Zhetong Electric Power, and they knew how to be grateful.

……

There was a queue in front of the museum and the staff were preparing for the opening time.

Mr. Wang also brought his own small stool, a pot of hot tea and a few old men to the outside of the museum. After greeting the security personnel on duty at the door to maintain order, they sat around the small stone table and took out playing cards to play a few rounds.

At this time, the people in the queue also noticed it. Several of them looked at Mr. Wang with shining eyes, and then spoke to their companions in a low voice.

"Look, look, isn't that old man our group's top employee, Mr. Wang, the factory manager?"

Following his gaze, several Zhetong Electric Power employees who were waiting in line looked back and nodded excitedly.

"Really! Come on, I want to take a photo with Mr. Wang!"

The people who came were all young people, many of them were girls who liked to take photos and so on. As Wang Gong was the number one employee of the group, they were naturally very happy and hoped to take a photo with him.

……

Engineer Wang, who had just set up his weapons and was ready to "start a war", had just touched the first card when he saw several young girls and boys surrounding him.

"Mr. Wang!"

"Director Wang, it's really Director Wang!"

"Grandpa, we are also employees of Zhetong Electric Power. We just joined last year. I didn't expect to meet you here. Can we take a photo together?"

Looking at the hopeful expressions on the faces of these young people, Mr. Wang nodded with a smile.

"What's so strange about meeting me here? I'm from Shima Town. It would be strange to meet me somewhere else. Haha, take a photo? Of course you can."

As he spoke, Wang Shuqing put down the cards in his hand and called out to the other old men, "Don't change the cards, you old guys. Just take a photo and come." Then he walked into the middle of the group of young people.

Then we took photos with them with a smile.

You know, what people fear most is not old age diseases or so-called loneliness, but being forgotten. And when they are young, the higher the position they hold, the more they fear this feeling of gap.

When he was in office, his house was always crowded with people coming to visit him, and it was very lively and bustling.

But when you get old and retire, the difference will suddenly become apparent. Basically, the number of people coming and going in front of your house will gradually decrease and finally no one will care about it at all.

This feeling of being "needed" and "respected" is what old men value most.

Wang Shuqing feels very happy that the young people in Zhetong are so enthusiastic to take photos with him and greet him warmly.

It has to be Zhetong. If I don't come to Zhetong before my first retirement, what can the retired status of the provincial power plant bring me? Nothing.

Fortunately, the kid from the Lin family founded Zhetong, which allowed this old man to shine again and reach the peak of his career.

After taking photos and group photos with a smile, Wang Shuqing returned to the small stone table and started "fighting" with several old men.

"One on two! Bigger than you!"

"Are you yelling so hard about two? Don't you know you have four twos? I'll blow you up!"

That's how it is when playing cards, you like to shout. But just after I shouted this, a car stopped at the door, and it looked like a luxury car.

When Wang Shuqing saw the car, he frowned, then stood up and spoke directly.

"Parking is not allowed here. It blocks the entrance. The parking lot is next to it."

Because of the privacy glass, Wang Shuqing from outside couldn't really see the person in the car, and the person in the car was Lin Zhe.

"Haha, Mr. Wang has retired and is volunteering for our museum."

After saying this with a smile, Lin Zhe turned the steering wheel and drove towards the museum's dedicated parking lot next to him. To be honest, he didn't park his car randomly, because he had never been here before and didn't notice the sign, so he didn't know the parking lot was next to him.

After some operations, Lin Zhe parked the car in the parking lot, and then walked to the door with Yan Xi.

Because he was going back to his hometown, Lin Zhe didn't ask the security team from the President's Office to come over. Otherwise, it would seem a bit boring. And if there really were too many people and it was troublesome, he could just call the security personnel from the old factory to come and maintain order.

……

Yan Xi took Lin Zhe's arm, and the two of them walked from the parking lot to the entrance. The people in the queue were sharp-eyed and could see it at a glance.

"Mr. Lin! Mrs. Lin!"

"Oh my god, is this true? Today we came to the museum and met Engineer Wang, and also Mr. and Mrs. Lin?"

After a moment of daze, a few people reacted and quickly greeted them enthusiastically. Lin Zhe's name has been deeply tied to Zhetong Electric Power. Lin Zhe is the embodiment of Zhetong Electric Power. How can they not be excited.

Everyone was very enthusiastic. Lin Zhe was in a good mood and there were only a dozen people, so they all agreed to take photos.

Of course, Yan Xi just stood aside with a smile and did not take any photos. He even took the initiative to help Zhetong employees pick up their phones and act as a photographer.

After taking the photo, the girl was quite excited, and even her hands were trembling slightly as she took the phone back from Yan Xi.

"Thank you, thank you Mrs. Lin, you really are a hundred times prettier than in the photo! So beautiful!"

Hearing the girl's words, Yan Xi chuckled and nodded, and replied "thank you" very gracefully.

On the other side, Engineer Wang also noticed that the people in the queue suddenly gathered together again, but the security personnel next to them were a little excited and did not maintain order or evacuate the people, which made Engineer Wang a little confused.

Throw down the cards in your hand.

"Brothers, you guys come first, I'll go see what's going on."

As Wang Shuqing was speaking, he came to the crowd. After noticing that Engineer Wang had arrived, Lin Zhe immediately smiled and walked over.

"Mr. Wang, long time no see."
