The golden age began in 1977

Chapter 86 How to Enter the Security Department
The autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves, and the bright sun shines on the earth.

The seaside at this time is a season full of poetry and painting.

The north wind and the sunshine together weave a contradictory world that is both bleak and warm, peaceful and lively.

Qian Jin pedaled quickly back to Taishan Road.

The trip was worthwhile and nothing unexpected happened.

The recruitment quota of Cotton Mill No. 6 was given to Wang Dong.

Nowadays, factories are not as strict in recruiting workers as they were in the 1950s and 1960s, as can be seen from Zhou Yaozu's employment at the Seventh Rubber Factory.

This can also be seen from the fact that Zhang Hongbo, a neighborhood committee director, can work together with factory leaders to recruit workers.

Cotton Mill No. 6 didn't care whether Qian Jin could go to work or not, but Zhang Hongbo's incident had been exposed, and the organization was investigating the matter, so they had to give an explanation.

As long as Qian Jin promises not to cause trouble, the quota can be transferred to Wang Dong or Li Dong.

In fact, this kind of thing of taking someone else's job is very common both in history and now. Even if the college entrance examination is about to be resumed and the state has stricter supervision, many college students will be replaced.

Qian Jin asked someone to call Wang Dong back.

Wang Dong was sweating profusely from working so hard that he asked rashly, "Why did you skip work? Haha, isn't porter work hard?"

Qian Jin handed him the registration notice and asked, "How about going to work at the Sixth Cotton Mill?"

Wang Dong was stunned.

He subconsciously took the thick paper, and his fingers just happened to touch the raised steel stamp on it:

New Employee Employment Notice!
The first word "Qian Jin" in the name "Comrade Qian Jin" printed with lead ink was crossed out with two strokes by a fountain pen, and the ink of the changed name "Wang Dong" had not dried for long.

He reached out and touched the printed words "Hailao No. 19771105". The steel stamp ink had an extraordinary charm.

The north wind was as pervasive as an old, sallow ox. It blew in through the window cracks, making the calendar paper on the wall rustle.

Someone put an enamel pot of tea on the table next to us.

The tea leaves inside have sunk to the bottom of the cup, and a layer of rust-colored tea film has floated up.

"It's for me?" Wang Dong heard his own voice coming from far away, "Fuck! How could it be given to me?"

He has been waiting for this day for a long time.

In fact, the five teams of the labor assault team are arranged according to the time of their establishment.

Team one is the first and team five is the last.

Wang Dong is the captain of a team. He is almost the first one to join the team among the current players!
But because he had a hot temper and was not liked by his superiors, Zhang Hongbo did not help him, and he had no connections of his own, so he could only stay in the team unhappy.

In fact, he had never been so stubborn and irritable in the past. It was because he had been bored in the labor commando for too long that he decided to give up and developed such a personality.

After carefully looking at the name on the notice, Wang Dong suddenly looked up at Qian Jin:
"I've been treating you badly since you came to the team. Now that you're the team leader, I still talk back to you and refuse to obey you. Why did you give me a chance?"

Qian Jin said, "Because I am the general team leader, I have to be fair in what I do."

"The voting office wants a model for supporting agriculture, so I can only send Old Xu in. The Seventh Rubber Factory wants a model and an advanced individual, and Captain Zhou meets the requirements, so I'll send him in."

"The Sixth Cotton Mill doesn't have any conditions now. It's your turn now."

Wang Dong bit his lip and frowned, as if making a face or forcing back tears.

He took a deep breath and said, "You should be the director of our neighborhood committee. Everyone will definitely respect you."

"If anyone doesn't obey you, I'll beat him until he obeys you!"

Qian Jin said hurriedly: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not a neighborhood committee staff member, I don't have a staff position, I'm not qualified to be the director, and I don't want to be the director."

He returned to the subject: "The Sixth Cotton Mill isn't as good as the Datou Office, but it's no worse than the Seventh Rubber Mill and the like."

Wang Dong suddenly raised his head and said, "Of course I know. Among the four major state-owned factories in Haibin, the cotton mill is at least second if not first. The treatment is good, the benefits are high, and there are more female workers than men, so it's easy for them to find partners."

"Don't you have a wife?" Qian Jin suddenly felt a little regretful.

Wang Dong chuckled: "Captain Qian, you don't have a partner, do you?"

"If you send me to the cotton mill, I must find you a wife!"

Qian Jin waved his hand: "Don't worry about this. Just go to work and control your temper. Don't go to work today and get kicked out tomorrow."

Wang Dong immediately said, "That's absolutely not the case. I will definitely do my best when I go there!"

"Just like Old Xu said, our labor commando doesn't produce cowards, only elite troops. If I go there, I will definitely be the first one to win!"

It would be better for Qian Jin to believe that he is the reincarnation of Qin Shi Huang.

He said, "Don't be so sure. I know your temper. Sending you to the workshop is actually harming you. You're definitely going to have conflicts with your coworkers and your supervisor."

Wang Dong wanted to defend himself.

Qian Jin waved his hand and said, "Listen, there's a loophole in this notice that might be exploitable."

"This is a formal employment notice from the cotton mill, but it doesn't specify the specific type of work..."

He raised his eyebrows at Wang Dong: "In theory, you can go to whichever department or workshop accepts you."

"I asked the head of the Political Work Department, and there's a vacancy in their Security Department. Just one vacancy!"

Wang Dong looked at him in disbelief.

National Cotton Mill No. 6!

Security Section!
Due to the complexity of the social environment and the need for national security, state-owned factories, as a vital economic pillar of the country, face paramount importance in security and protection, and thus generally establish security departments. These departments are responsible for various aspects of factory safety, confidentiality, emergency response, and employee education, serving as the security bureau within large factories.

From an organizational perspective, the Security Department is under the dual leadership of both the superior public security agency and the unit where it is located.

In terms of equipment, they are equipped with uniforms, guns, and handcuffs, just like the street security stations.

In terms of authority and responsibilities, they are responsible for maintaining public order in the factory area, arresting people and investigating cases, just like the public security station.

So in this day and age, joining the security department of a large state-owned factory is almost the same as joining the Public Security Bureau.

Qian Jin nodded to Wang Dong and said, "I don't think it's a good idea for you to go to the workshop with your temper. You'll definitely always get into fights."

"Your temperament and energy would be perfect for the security department!"

Wang Dong's heart started beating fast:
"That won't do. When I was in the army, I didn't have any meritorious service or any special commendations. When I was discharged, I wasn't even eligible for priority job placement on the street..."

"I don't think it's possible either." But Qian Jin still wanted to give it a try. "Call Cheng Hua first and ask about the feasibility of this."

Wang Dong didn't bother to put the notice away and ran out.

When he came, Cheng Hua ran faster than him. He winked and asked, "Captain Qian, what's delicious?"

Qian Jin: (⊙⊙?)
Wang Dong said breathlessly from behind:
"Let's get down to business first, let's get down to business first. Once we get it done, I'll sell everything I have and treat you to a meal at the State-Owned Restaurant No. 2!"

After hearing their thoughts, Cheng Hua scratched his head and said, "Want to join the Security Department of the Sixth National Cotton Mill? That's difficult to do."

When Qian Jin heard that it was difficult but not impossible, he immediately became excited: "What should I do?"

Cheng Hua counted on his fingers:
"Security departments generally recruit from three sources: first, demobilized or retired military personnel; second, graduates from public security colleges; and third, recruiting police officers from the public."

"Brother Dong is a veteran, so he does meet the requirements. Your family background is quite good. My uncle Wang was a member of the transport team supporting the front during the liberation of Haibin. This is a plus, but it is limited."

"Honestly, if you have connections with the leaders of the Sixth National Cotton Mill or the Security Department, you'll most likely be able to get in."

"See here comes the question, do you have any connection?"

Wang Dong was frustrated: "There's a ditch!"

Qian Jin groaned, "It's possible. Let's contact the head of the security department first. Brother Hua, can you introduce us?"

Cheng Hua said, "We need to talk to Deputy Director Pang. He has a lot of dealings with the security departments of major state-owned enterprises."

At this time, Qian Jin's duties as the captain of the security commando team came in handy.

He is one of the police station's own, and he has made many meritorious contributions. Pang Lai Fu has a good impression of him.

It was just time for lunch, so he took Wang Dong to treat Pang Lai Fu to a meal.

There is no need to go to a state-owned restaurant. There is a small state-owned restaurant called Yangchun Restaurant on Taishan Road. Qian Jin chose this restaurant.

Yangchun Restaurant didn't have any signature dishes, but its seafood stewed pancakes were very famous in the city. A bowl of stewed pancakes cost fifty cents and a pound of grain coupons, which was still considered a high-consumption place at that time.

When residents of Taishan Road entertain guests, they usually come to Yangchun Restaurant to eat seafood stewed pancakes. Qian Jin brought his own wine, and each person was served a large bowl of stewed pancakes and a bowl of real chicken soup wontons. That was all.

The chicken soup wontons in the store are also very famous. The clear soup base has a strong aroma, and you can see the boiled chicken bones. It costs 1.5 cents a bowl and is very popular.

Qian Jin poured some wine for Pang Laifu: "This is the grain wine we got from our unit's warehouse. Chief Pang, please try it."

Pang Laifu chuckled: "It's still more comfortable to go to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Even if I'm just a porter, there are still a lot of good things!"

He took a sip of the wine and exclaimed repeatedly: "It's rich and fragrant, isn't it? It tastes almost like Wuliangye!"

Qian Jin stood in awe: The level of leadership is different.

The loose liquor in his bottle is really Wuliangye!

After drinking the hot wine and eating the sizzling hot cakes, everyone got excited and started talking.

Pang Laifu said, "I know about the security department at the Sixth National Cotton Mill. They are indeed short of someone, but there are too many scoundrels in their unit. This time, they want to get someone with real talent to support them!"

Wang Dong fell silent when he heard this.

He is also a turtle!

Qian Jin slapped him in the face: "You're usually so arrogant and can handle anything, but why are you so weak when it comes to serious matters? Why are you so snotty?"

Wang Dong smiled bitterly: "Captain Qian, because I just can't do my job!"

Qian Jin said, "You can definitely do it. I and more than 50 comrades from our team are behind you!"

"Your joining the Security Department of the Sixth National Cotton Mill is like adding more than fifty strong soldiers to their department!"

Pang Laifu said to him, "You are really a tough guy. You have caught thieves, murderers, and robbers. If you join the No. 6 National Cotton Mill, you can really join the security department!"

Qian Jin shook his head and said, "Captain Pang, what do you think? Let Wang Dong be assigned to the public security commando team and make meritorious service first."

"In the meantime, please help me contact the security department leaders. Wang Dong and I will treat them to a meal."

"When the time comes, we'll both work together to ask Comrade Wang Dong for help and try to get him into the Security Department!"

Pang Laifu nodded: "That's an idea. It's not a big deal to incorporate him into the security commando team. In fact, our unit has the autonomy to do this. It's only a fifty-cent a day expense."

"It's easier to treat them to a meal and get to know them. I'm familiar with their section chief and deputy section chief."

"The hard part is making meritorious contributions! How can Wang Dong make meritorious contributions? Public security meritorious services can't be things like cleaning sewers, carrying manure, or helping old ladies cross the street!"

Qian Jin stepped forward and said, "What about catching robbers? What about catching organized robbers who specialize in lurking in the black market?"
