The middle-aged woman pushed the door in, she handed the document bag containing the information to Director Zhang, and just as she was about to turn around and leave, Fang Dongping stood up: "Director Zhang, you are busy with official business, we won't bother, if there is progress in technological innovation, I will call you, Xiaoqiang, let's go." ”

Director Zhang hurriedly got up to keep it, of course, the so-called retention was just a polite gesture. Seeing Fang Dongping's resolute attitude, Director Zhang handed him the document bag, turned his head to the middle-aged woman and ordered: "Director Chen, please bring the two guests to the reservoir area, Secretary Zhou is over there, you can hand over the person to Secretary Zhou." ”

Director Chen smiled and nodded, and walked out of the office door with the two of them.

When the three of them walked into the storage area, all they saw were neatly stacked large wooden boxes, and the batch numbers and specifications of the spare parts were engraved with black ink on the outside of the boxes. Secretary Zhou was holding a factory director's approval slip in his hand and was talking to a man in work clothes.

"Secretary Zhou, Director Zhang asked me to bring two guests here, saying that you will receive them. ”

Secretary Zhou hurriedly raised his head, and after seeing Fang Dongping and Niu Xiaoqiang, he smiled and said, "Trouble Director Chen, please wait a while, two distinguished guests, I will arrange it immediately." ”

Fang Dongping and Niu Xiaoqiang nodded slightly and stood aside, and it didn't take long for Secretary Zhou to arrange everything. He walked up to Fang Dongping, with a warm smile on his face: "Elder Fang, the goods approved by the factory director have been loaded onto the car, and I have also arranged the porter for you, I don't know where you need us to help you transport them?"

Three hundred bearings is not a small number, even if a bearing weighs fifty catties, three hundred together there are fifteen thousand catties. Fang Dongping felt that it would be difficult for him and Niu Xiaoqiang, the two old and weak, to move to the air-raid shelter before dark.

I saw that he was embarrassed and said: "If you can, please help me transport the goods to my factory, but the road is a bit far, I estimate that the worker master will not be able to come back tonight, and I will arrange the accommodation and dinner." ”

Secretary Zhou hurriedly shook his head: "This is something that the factory director has personally explained, how can I trouble you? I will arrange their accommodation according to the treatment of business trips, so I won't bother you." ”

Fang Dongping is just polite, he and Niu Xiaoqiang's current activity funds are very limited, and it is naturally better to save a little if they can save. Anyway, Qingjiang Petrochemical Machinery is so rich that it is not bad for these three melons and two dates, so there is no need for me to slap my swollen face and become fat.

He smiled: "Then thank you Secretary Zhou, this is a little meaning, don't be polite to me." ”

Fang Dongping quietly stuffed Secretary Zhou with a bag of Hongta Mountain as he spoke. Hongta Mountain is definitely a good cigarette for most people, but it is nothing to Secretary Zhou. This kind of small favor is more of an attitude of reward, which can make people feel very comfortable.

Secretary Zhou had already dealt with Fang Dongping the year before last, and knew Fang Dongping's character, so he didn't shirk. He tucked Hongta Mountain into his pocket very covertly, and if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to tell what he had just done.

Niu Xiaoqiang said: Secretary Zhou not only works well, but also reaps benefits very quickly, and the secretary of the leader is really not comparable to ordinary people.

Secretary Zhou explained a few words to the leading workers, and then pointed to the two large trucks loaded with bearings: "Elder Fang, you two sit in the car in front of you to guide the way, I have explained to them clearly, and they will do things according to your requirements when the time comes." ”

Fang Dongping thanked him, and then took Niu Xiaoqiang into the passenger cab of the truck.

"Master driver, please drive the car to the dock. ”

"Okay. ”

The two trucks left the factory and headed straight for the dock, just in time for the point. The steamer from the city to the town of Oshan is a mixed passenger ship, with vehicles and cargo stored on the front deck and people in the back cabin.

The driver drove the truck directly onto the deck, then locked the door and sat in the cabin with the porter.

After the ship arrived at the simple wharf in Aoshan Town, the driver drove down the two large trucks, and then drove the cars to the bottom of the air-raid shelter under the guidance of Fang Dongping. It took nearly an hour for the porters to move all the wooden boxes with bearings into the bomb shelter.

After carrying the goods, Fang Dongping took out his cigarette and scattered it. The master worker had already received instructions from Secretary Zhou, and everyone drove to the town's guest house to eat and drink with a smile. This job is based on the treatment of business trips to calculate overtime pay, this money is enough for everyone to eat and drink, so everyone has no dissatisfaction.

It was not until the smoke and dust from the truck disappeared at the foot of the hill that the two turned around and walked into the bomb shelter.

It was already dark, and Fang Dongping smiled at Niu Xiaoqiang, who was going to help him make a fire and cook: "Xiaoqiang, you go back, you don't need your help here, take a good rest tonight, and we will officially start work tomorrow morning." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang originally wanted to move to the air-raid shelter to live with Fang Dongping, in addition to taking care of Fang Dongping's diet and daily life, he could also take care of the equipment in the factory by the way. After all, this cave factory is his own, Fang Dongping is just a part-time worker, and there are many things that have to trouble Fang Dongping to come forward, and it would be a bit too much to let the family take on the job of a security guard.

Later, Fang Dongping laughed and scolded him for worrying too much, saying that there was no need to pay attention to those politeness between master and apprentice, and Niu Xiaoqiang dispelled this idea.

"Yes, Master, I'll come over early tomorrow morning to work. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang came home humming a happy song, his parents knew that he was going to pull orders today, and couldn't help but ask about it during the meal.

Niu Xiaoqiang did not disclose the truth, only said that he had pulled a small order, which saved his parents from always worrying about the profits of the factory, which would affect the subsequent expansion plan.

After dinner, Niu Xiaoqiang continued to read and study as always, which was already his habit. Although he has completed his university courses by himself, as the saying goes, "read a book a hundred times and see its own meaning", Niu Xiaoqiang felt that reviewing his homework could consolidate his knowledge and bring him more inspiration, so he persisted in this good habit.

Early the next morning, Niu Xiaoqiang ate some boiling water and rushed to the cave factory. When he saw the kerosene lamp lit in the air-raid shelter, he couldn't help but ask, "Master, why don't you turn on the electric light? ”

Fang Dongping was squatting in front of the stove to cook noodles, and he smiled bitterly: "I wanted to light the lights, but the power went out in the middle of the night yesterday, and there has been no electricity until now, and I don't know if I can start work smoothly today." ”

Although Niu Xiaoqiang's home is electrified, in order to save more than a dime a kilowatt-hour of electricity, he has always used cheap kerosene lamps for lighting, so he does not know about the power outage.

Hearing this, he suddenly had a very bad thought: "Master, did you say that Chen Tianhou did the power outage?"
