Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 17: Choose Three
夜

The director's office on the third floor of the machinery factory
Wang Qingzhou, who had rushed back from the discussion meeting, sat behind his desk, listening to the report from Chief Li of the Personnel Department with a tired look on his face.

"Director, this is the list of children of employees who meet the recruitment requirements this year. Please review it."

Section Chief Li said this and placed a list in his hand on the table.

Wang Qingzhou put on his glasses, picked up a pen, and slowly read through them one by one.

Section Chief Li’s list is very detailed.

Not only does it include the name and age of the employee's child, but it also clearly lists the person's parents and family members.

"Where are the children of the Song family?"

Wang Qingzhou took the form and started looking for Song Liaosha's name.

"Here!" Section Chief Li hurried over and pointed somewhere on the first page.

"You know how time flies! When I was playing basketball with his dad, this kid was only as tall as my thighs. Now even he has to go to work."

Wang Qingzhou smiled and sighed, while using a pen to put a hook behind "Song Liaosha".

Section Chief Li saw this.
I didn't dare say a word.

I couldn't say a word.

His only job tonight was to ask the factory director to decide who would be recruited from among the employees' children this year.

It can be said that every check mark drawn by Wang Qingzhou now represents the children of employees who can directly enter the factory to work this year.

"Well, even though Old Liu has been transferred, his nephew is here, and we can't just ignore him."

Wang Qingzhou sighed and put a heavy tick behind a name.

Section Chief Li glanced at the list and immediately understood.

This "Old Liu" is the "Deputy Director Liu" who was transferred to the cement factory this year.

Internal struggles have squeezed people out, so it is reasonable to give some benefits to their nephew.

After picking two people, Wang Qingzhou was obviously hesitant when it came to choosing the third person.

"I remember Chen Dazhi's son is about the same age as Old Song's son. Did he graduate this year too?"

Wang Qingzhou put down his pen, looked up and asked Section Chief Li.

Section Chief Li quickly replied, "Yes, Director. Chen Luyang from Master Chen's family also graduated this year."

Wang Qingzhou asked curiously, "How is this child?"

Section Chief Li pondered for a moment and said, "The child is quite good, but unfortunately he didn't do well in the college entrance examination and failed."

“I failed the exam…”

Wang Qingzhou frowned, thought for a long time, and finally put a tick behind the name of the son of the Women's Federation Chairman.

"Just the three of them."

Section Chief Li's eyelids twitched, and he asked tentatively, "Director, are you only going to choose three people?"

According to the personnel plan, the factory plans to recruit 78 people this year, and there are more than 40 family members on the list.

The previous mouth was still ten,
How come we just had a discussion and cut down three of them?!
If this news gets out, won’t the factory be in chaos?
"Just pick three."

Wang Qingzhou looked straight at Section Chief Li, which made his temples throb.

"This year's recruitment will be strict and rigorous. We would rather not recruit enough people than hire a bunch of people who know nothing."

The convening of this national heavy industry discussion conference allowed him to see the rise and development of too many other sister factories.

Coupled with the continuous advancement of the "military-to-civilian" reform, the transformation of machinery factories has become imminent.

If we do not make progress and just develop and produce the previous projects, sooner or later the machinery factory will be dragged down by the complicated organization and personnel.

So this time, Wang Qingzhou really made the decision to cut off his own arm.
It was decided to start with personnel recruitment and carry out a thorough reform from the inside out.

Section Chief Li felt dizzy.

It’s over... I’m going to be scolded to death by all the men and women in the factory this time!
Although the decision was made by the factory director, he was the one who did the work!

No one dares to scold the factory director, but they dare to scold him!
But looking at Wang Qingzhou, Section Chief Li said firmly: "Don't worry, Director, I will complete the task!"

The National Heavy Industry Discussion Conference only lasts for one day at most.

The second day's meeting was mainly about the Economic and Planning Commission leading the conference representatives on an outing.

Early in the morning, Chen Luyang asked Chen Jinyue for a day off.

Back to the family quarters of the machinery factory,

Chen Luyang didn't rush into the yard. Instead, he bent down, picked up a stone, and hit the wooden door with a "swoosh".

After a while, Junjun poked his little head out of the door.

"Is your grandpa at home?" Chen Luyang asked in a low voice.

"No. Grandpa and my dad went to the factory early in the morning."

"Come and help uncle get food!"

When he heard about food, Junjun jumped out like a little rabbit, picked up the cloth bag on the back seat of the bicycle with his little hands, and carried it home with all his strength.

Ever since last time, when Chen Luyang brought sausages and drinks from the restaurant home and was lectured by Lao Chen,
Chen Luyang no longer dared to bring food home openly. Every time he had to choose a time when his father was not around and bring it home secretly.

When Chen's mother saw her precious son coming home, she happily went into the kitchen to cook for him.

Chen Luyang quickly said, "Mom, stop working. Just give me some porridge if there's any at home."

Last night he drank several jars of white wine with the Japanese guy, and now his stomach is still not feeling well, so he wants to drink some porridge.

Mother Chen felt sorry for her son: "Just drinking porridge won't do! I'll make you some fried eggs and cucumbers."

After a while, a bowl of porridge and a plate of fried eggs and cucumbers were placed on the dining table.

The bright yellow eggs paired with the fresh green cucumbers and a bowl of golden millet porridge instantly whetted Chen Luyang's appetite.

Chen Luyang picked up the porridge and took a big sip, praising: "My mother's cooking is still the most delicious!"

Mother Chen looked at Chen Luyang wolfing down his food and said distressedly:

"Eat slowly. No one will snatch it from you."

Chen Luyang gobbled his food hungrily: "If I don't eat quickly, Xiaoling will see it later and she can make all of this happen to me."

Just as she finished speaking, Chen Lingling's clear voice rang out from the main hall:

"How dare I, the great Chen Lingling, snatch food from you! How could I be so useless!"

"Yes, you are the most promising one in our family."

Chen Luyang said helplessly: "You're a grown man, but you're still trying to grab a drink from Junjun."

Almost half of the drinks he brought back from the restaurant went into Chen Lingling's stomach.

Kvass is a carbonated drink. Chen Lingling drank too much at one time and burped in bed for most of the night. Her mother was so scared that she almost took her to the hospital.

Fortunately, a few puffs were released at the end, and everything was finally peaceful.

After cleaning up the dishes, Chen's mother threw all the dirty clothes that Chen Luyang brought back into a large basin, filled it with water and prepared to wash clothes for her son.

Chen Luyang quickly took the basin: "Mom, you go and take a rest, I can wash it myself."

Mother Chen glared at him and took the basin back.

"Can you wash it? If you can't wash such white clothes, it will turn yellow and it will be a waste."

"Go inside and stay."

Chen's mother sat on the small stool without allowing any objection, picked up one of Chen Luyang's white shirts, and began to rub it along the collar.

"I just want to sit next to my mom."

Chen Luyang moved a small stool to sit next to him and said with a smile:
"Mom, you know, we had a foreign guest come to our restaurant yesterday, a Japanese guy, and he said our dumplings weren't tasty..."
