Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 158: Received a Huge Manuscript Fee
This morning, the propaganda chief Chu Huijuan gave him an urgent task, asking him to write a promotional material for an outstanding workshop worker in the factory.

After giving the instructions, Chu Huijuan led the rest of the department out to conduct research.

Tang Xi originally planned to close the door in the morning and write quickly in the room, trying to finish the first draft before Chu Huijuan came back.

Who would have thought that this morning, someone would come to deliver materials, which annoyed him so much.

Hearing that Chen Luyang also came to deliver materials, Tang Xi was about to explode and drive him away.
Suddenly, Dai Ning's words of advice rang in his mind again.

After hesitating for a while,

Tang Xi said unhappily, "Let me stay here!"

Chen Luyang was stunned for a moment.

He had just prepared himself mentally to be refused entry, but he didn't expect Tang Xi to accept his materials!
"Thank you, comrade!"

Chen Luyang happily placed the materials on Tang Xi's desk.

With a quick glance, he saw the content on Tang Xi's materials.

"Yang Xiangyang?"

Chen Luyang was happy.

This year, Brother Yang was also used as a positive role model for publicity by the factory.

"Do you know this person?" Tang Xi asked.

"I know him! He works in the same workshop as my dad." Chen Luyang replied.

Now everyone in the factory knows about his relationship with Chen Dazhi, so there is no need to hide it.

Tang Xi's pupils shrank slightly when she saw him being so frank.

After entering the factory, what he feared and was most reluctant to do was to mention his relationship with former Deputy Director Liu.

But no matter how hard he tried to hide it, people would still point at his back and talk about him wherever he went:

"This man is Deputy Director Liu's nephew!"

But Chen Luyang in front of him seemed to not care about this at all.

Talking about his relationship with Chen Dazhi is like talking about an ordinary thing.

Tang Xi: "Then do you know Comrade Yang Xiangyang?"

Chen Luyang: "Quite familiar, in what way?"

Tang Xi: "Besides his outstanding production achievements, unity with his comrades, and hard work, is there anything else we can dig out from his life?"

Looking at Chen Luyang's puzzled look, Tang Xi explained:

"Comrade Yang Xiangyang was named a model worker by the city a few days ago. I need to write a report and submit it."

"But the materials I have are basically from his work, and the writing is too stereotyped."

"I think if I could add some real-life elements to it, it would be more down-to-earth and more eye-catching."

Chen Luyang suddenly realized and then racked his brains to think about it.

But the first thing that came to his mind was that Yang Xiangyang led a group of workshop brothers to help his family move autumn vegetables.

This matter definitely cannot be talked about.

Suddenly, Chen Luyang tapped the table with his fingers.

"There is indeed one thing!"

"Two years ago, a woman in the provincial hospital suffered heavy bleeding during labor. Comrade Yang Xiangyang happened to be treating her at the hospital. When he learned about the situation, he immediately donated blood to the woman, helping her give birth safely."

"After that blood donation, Comrade Yang Xiangyang continued to donate blood. He even has several blood donation books at home!"

Tang Xi was surprised: "Is there such a thing?"

Chen Luyang nodded: "Of course!"

"You can still ask about this if you go to the provincial hospital now."

It’s not that Chen Luyang has a good memory, it’s just that Yang Xiangyang was scolded a lot by Chen’s mother because of his voluntary blood donation in those years!
Although saving lives is a serious matter,

But at that time, the public was still generally obsessed with traditional culture, believing that one drop of sperm is equal to ten drops of blood, and that blood is the essence of life.

What's more, the work in the workshop is hard. What if I donate my blood and my body can't bear it?
Chen's mother felt sorry for Yang Xiangyang, so every now and then she would take out two eggs from her chicken coop, boil them, and ask Chen's father to bring them to Yang Xiangyang.

So Chen Luyang was particularly impressed by this incident.

Tang Xi's eyes lit up!
"Comrade Chen Luyang, the material you provided is excellent!"

"These past few days, the radio and newspapers have been calling for individuals to donate blood voluntarily. I heard that the Pianer City government also held a mobilization meeting to encourage citizens to donate blood."

"If this is written into the materials, it will definitely make everyone's eyes light up!"

Chen Luyang also said happily: "It's OK as long as I can help."

The two exchanged a few words.
Tang Xi even stood up and sent Chen Luyang to the door.

"This Tang Xiren is quite approachable. He's not as harsh as Song Liaosha said."

Chen Luyang muttered to himself as he walked downstairs.

On the other side, Tang Xi looked at the material on the paper about Yang Xiangyang's blood donation and muttered to himself:
"Uncle Dai is right. Talking to people more often does pay off."

If he had driven Chen Luyang away like everyone else, how would he have known about Yang Xiangyang's blood donation?

Just when Tang Xi was about to sort out what had just happened,
There was a knock on the door,
A man in work clothes walked into the room and said politely:
"Hello, comrade. May I ask if the advanced workshop and personal materials are handed over to you?"

Tang Xi subconsciously wanted to refuse.

But when the words came to his lips, he abruptly changed them to: "The comrade in charge of this work is not here now."

"Just give me the materials first, and I'll pass them on to him when he comes back."

The colleagues in the workshop were immediately overjoyed.

"Okay, comrade, thank you!"

……

When the whole workshop was working hard to prepare advanced materials,
In the rubber workshop,
Xiang Guowu is leading a group of workshop workers and working hard!

The waste tires brought back from the rubber factory must first be pre-processed, cleaned and sorted before the next step can be carried out.

What they are doing now is to clean the dirt and grease on the surface of the tires, and then process them according to different types of tires. Although this job is dirty and tiring, the workers in the rubber workshop are all very motivated!

Living a muddled life is really miserable!

Now that the factory has finally thought of them, everyone in the rubber workshop also wants to take this opportunity to work hard and prove themselves!

Among them, Xiang Guowu worked the hardest!

The current workshop director Xu Cheng will retire in a few months.

If he can lead the workshop staff to complete the work tasks excellently and supply the shock absorbers for the fusion workshop,

Then maybe he will be the next workshop director of the rubber workshop!

"Brother Xia, we have finished writing the application materials for our workshop. Can you take a look at it?"

A male worker came running over with manuscript paper.

"Put it aside for now, there's no rush to hand it in." Xiang Guowu didn't even glance at it, and continued:
"Once we've made the rubber damping shock absorber and achieved some results, we'll write it up in the materials and submit it!"

Worker: "Okay, Brother Xia!"

……

For a time, everyone in the factory was vying for the position of secretary.

The director of the robbery,
During the day, the sea is calm.
At night, every household started digging holes in their doors and stealing things.

Some went to the homes of factory leaders,
Some went to the office director's home,
Some went to the Industry and Commerce Bureau and the Planning and Economic Commission,

at last! !

There are also some running to the provincial university!

Since I last saw Vice Principal Jiang in Guo Qiang's office,
Chen Luyang has been eagerly waiting for the president of the provincial university to come back so that he can give him the royalties!
Waiting for today and looking forward to tomorrow.

After tomorrow, look forward to the day after tomorrow!
Finally the principal is back!

"Xiao Chen, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting... The principal just got back from an out-of-town trip today, and the payment has been delayed for so long, you must be getting impatient, right?"

Office of the Provincial University Press

President Lu handed a thick envelope to Chen Luyang with a smile.
The envelope is very thin.

It was so thin that one couldn’t even imagine that it contained a huge amount of 450 yuan in royalties!!!

President Lu smiled and said, "Open it a little."

Chen Luyang said shyly, "There's no need to order this. How can the school still cheat me out of this little money?"

Even though I said that,

But his fingers still opened the envelope honestly, took out the money inside and started counting it.

"This is beautiful money!"

Looking at the four blue-black 4-yuan notes in his hand, Chen Luyang's eyes were as bright as a weasel seeing a chicken.

The 100-yuan bill in my hand has the portraits of four great men on the front and the main peak of Jinggang Mountain on the back. The "100" in the lower right corner has a distinct bumpy texture to the touch, and it makes a unique crisp sound when rubbed gently.

The money is real!

"Thank you school, thank you teacher."

Chen Luyang held President Lu's hand, and it felt like he was holding the hand of the God of Wealth!

President Lu smiled and said, "We should be thanking you."

"Your book is of great significance and plays a vital role in improving students' English application ability!"

Director Wang of the English Department, who was sitting next to him, also sighed:
"Yes!"

"Most of our students are only at the reading and writing stage in English, and cannot speak it properly."

"Nowadays, more and more people are being sent abroad on official missions, and our contacts with the outside world are increasing. In the end, it won't work if we can't speak."

After a pause, Director Wang asked worriedly, "Xiao Chen, how's your review going recently?"

"Not bad." Chen Luyang held the money and smiled brightly.

No trick,

With 450 yuan in my pocket, I really can’t smile!

Director Wang looked at Chen Luyang's heartless appearance and said unkindly:
"Xiao Chen, we know you're busy at the factory, but you can't slack off on studying. The college entrance exam is only six months away, so you still need to devote a lot of time to studying and thinking."

Chen Luyang nodded frantically: "Teacher, don't worry, I will study hard!"

Director Wang looked at Chen Luyang's relaxed expression as he agreed, but he still felt uneasy!

"My office is in Room 408."

Director Wang took out a cloth bag from the stool next to him as he spoke.

"Inside the bag are some review papers and materials."

"There are some notes from my students' college entrance exams in there. Take them home and read them carefully. Look through them frequently."

"If you come across something you don't understand, come find me at 408 and I'll have them teach you."

When he saw the bag, Chen Luyang stopped smiling, which he had been trying to suppress.

The last time, when Director Wang said that there were several top students in his department who could give him extra lessons, Chen Luyang just took it as a polite remark.

But now that I see it this way, Director Wang is really working hard for me! !
There was no Internet at that time and information was very underdeveloped.

Anyone who has a set of papers will keep them as treasures and will never be willing to show them to others.

"Teacher Wang, thank you!!!"

Chen Luyang took the cloth bag and bowed to Director Wang with great gratitude.

I just met him by chance and he has no connection with me, but he is helping me.

This favor must be remembered!

Director Wang smiled and said, "If you study hard and get admitted to the provincial university, that would be the greatest thank you to me!"
