Siheyuan: I, the eldest son of the Liu family, will enter the department!

Director Li also took out the thank-you letter as soon as possible.

Liu Guangqi took it with a smile.

When I opened it, I found a thank you letter with the red official seal of the Ministry of Light Industry, which read:

"To Comrade Liu Guangqi: Thank you for your research and development of rice cookers and induction cookers, which have made significant contributions to my country's light industry's foreign exchange earnings. I am sending you this gift as a token of my gratitude..."

There are not many words, but every word is full of sincerity.

"The Ministry of Light Industry was quite formal this time and sent you a special thank-you letter." Director Li added cheerfully.

His tone was full of pride.

"You should be praised in the factory for your contribution!"

Director Li changed the subject and lowered his voice.

"But I've been thinking about it. You've been broadcasting too much lately, about your promotion to Level 8 Engineer and awards from other ministries..."

"If this were broadcast again, some of the workers in the factory would have bloodshot eyes."

"In this day and age, everyone is tightening their belts. If you give out rewards one after another, it will easily make people hate you."

"So, I didn't let the Propaganda Department's radio studio broadcast it."

Director Li said.

He pointed meaningfully to two other large boxes and a bulging manila envelope on the table.

"So, forget about the empty reputation, let's get something practical!"

……

……

"Director, I understand!"

Liu Guangqi smiled when he heard this. He naturally knew that Director Li meant well.

After all, these are special times.

During the natural disaster, everyone was starving, but he kept broadcasting good news, such as technical level upgrades and various departmental rewards.

What will other workers think?

Although this is the reward he deserves, it is not good to let people bear a grudge against him.

"Forget about the factory broadcast!"

"I've heard a lot too, I just keep it to myself, but the Ministry of Light Industry did give quite a few rewards!"

Liu Guangqi smiled.

He didn't make any formalities with Director Li. He probably guessed it when he saw the box.

Open it and take a look.

The silver-white shell has a warm luster and the buttons are clear. It is indeed a brand new rice cooker.

"This is our factory's foreign exchange earning magic weapon!"

Director Li came over, his tone full of envy: "It's selling like crazy in the international market now, and only a small portion is sold in our own factory."

"The Ministry of Light Industry really spent a fortune this time, actually giving you two!"

Liu Guangqi nodded.

Of course he knew, because foreign exchange orders were booming.

Most rice cookers are supplied to the international market first, and only a very small number of senior executives and special units can get them.

And the price is comparable to a bicycle!

In addition, a special ticket is required...

Ordinary people dare not even think about it.

The fact that the Ministry of Light Industry gave him two machines as a reward was enough to show their gratitude and recognition for him.

. ...... ....

"Just as the ministry compound has electricity, I'll put one at home."

"Send the other one to Xiaoyun's house!"

Liu Guangqi quickly made arrangements for the two rice cookers.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to send the rice cooker to the courtyard and to his father Liu Pangpang.

The main reason is that there is no electricity in the courtyard!

Nowadays, every household uses kerosene lamps. If you give something like this as a gift, it will just be used as a decoration, just for show, and it doesn't mean much.

And this is also the general situation.

In this era when the power grid is underdeveloped, ordinary people have little access to electricity, let alone using electrical appliances.

Therefore.

Electric rice cookers are only used as a means of exporting foreign currency, and few people can afford them.

……

……

After looking at the rice cooker, Liu Guangqi looked at the brown paper envelope given by the Ministry of Light Industry.

There were some tickets inside -

There were a few special-supply cigarette tickets, a few special-supply liquor tickets, and in addition, some malted milk tickets, and some grain tickets and oil tickets.

during this special period.

These colorful pieces of paper are much more valuable than money.

It's something that can actually fill your stomach.

Although it cannot be compared with the piles of ticket rewards in the past, times have changed.

In today's situation where every household has to tighten their belts!

The Ministry of Human Resources and Light Industry can provide these tickets.

It’s already very good!

Liu Guangqi was naturally not dissatisfied. He immediately folded the tickets one by one and stuffed them back into the envelope solemnly.

"Director, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first!"

Liu Guangqi smiled.

Director Li waved his hand with a smile on his face: "Okay, that's all."

"I'm giving you the things to let you know. We won't broadcast this matter at the factory, to avoid people getting jealous and gossiping about it, which would be bad for you."

This is true!

Liu Guangqi felt warm in his heart, knowing that it was Director Li who was protecting him.

"Okay, thank you, Director."

Liu Guangqi said no more. He held an electric rice cooker in one hand. It was heavy, but he felt very good.

He thought.

The Ministry of Light Industry will probably remember this as a favor.

I didn't expect that he would write a thank you letter.

Not only that, they also gave us two rice cookers and some tickets.

Too rich.

You know, all these add up to at least five hundred yuan.

Five hundred dollars!

It is equivalent to half a year’s salary of an eighth-level worker.

This is quite a generous amount!

Chapter 116: A call from the department head! An invitation from my alma mater! Another graduation speech!

Come out from the factory director's office!

Liu Guangqi was in a good mood and originally wanted to take advantage of the lunch break to find Zhao Mengyun, but then he thought about the time constraints and suppressed the idea.

I'll share this good news with him after get off work!

Back in his own office in the technical department, Liu Guangqi calmed his mind and quickly got into work mode.

The drawings on the table have just been spread out.

The telephone on the corner of the table began to ring.

These days, telephones in offices are a rarity, and the calls that come in are mostly for official business.

Liu Guangqi picked up the microphone and spoke in a steady voice.

"Hello!"

"This is the technical department of the Red Star Foreign Exchange Machinery Factory."
