No. 686 to the White Family
It is said that time flies, and Shaohua is easy to get old.
It has been four years since I met Bai Xue in my freshman year.
This time, after Jiang Hui and Bai Xue came to participate in the production increase ceremony of Guanghui mobile phone, they followed Bai Xue to Haizhu City.
Although Jiang Hui had been to Haizhu during the Spring Festival the year before last, he had never been to Bai Xue's house.
Now that the two of them have also graduated, although it is a little early to talk about marriage, Jiang Hui feels that he really wants to go to Bai Xue's house.
Just when the mobile phone companies outside were still discussing the matter of increasing the production of Guanghui mobile phones again, Jiang Hui had already come to Haizhu City with Bai Xue.
Bai Xue's father is a department-level cadre in Haizhu City, serving as the deputy director of the general office.
Bai Xue's mother is also a civil servant, and she is the vice chairman of the labor union in the Finance Bureau, so she can be regarded as a deputy department-level cadre.
The situation of Bai Xue's family, if it is placed in the imperial capital where there are ministerial-level, department-level and bureau-level everywhere, and there are as many department-level as dogs, it may not be a big deal.
This kind of family is in the imperial capital, not 10,000, but 8,000.
However, in a department-level city like Haizhu, where the first and second leaders are only department-level (occasionally the first-in-command is assigned to a provincial standing committee member and becomes a deputy minister), the situation of the Bai Xue family is very top-notch.
When Jiang Hui and Bai Xue came to the gate of the family area of the municipal party committee compound, they did not let Pan Wei and others drive a few cars to follow in, but Pan Wei personally drove Jiang Hui and Bai Xue alone.
In this kind of place, safety is generally not a problem, and some people are more afraid of death than Jiang Hui.
Although there are no armed police standing guard, the law and order will definitely not be bad.
Maybe the doorman still remembered Bai Xue, maybe it was the Mercedes-Benz S600 car that played a role, Bai Xue poked his head out and said a few words to the doorman, Jiang Hui's car quickly entered the community.
"Is that the daughter of Director Bai's family? Isn't she going to school in the imperial capital? Why do you sit and run around?"
"Yesterday I told him about his daughter, saying that she graduated from college this year and stayed in the imperial capital to work."
"That girl is getting more and more beautiful."
"The new Cheng Gang in our department is the one who graduated with a doctorate from the National University of Singapore, doesn't he have a girlfriend yet?
"Yes, Uncle Cheng Gang is the leader of the province, and he himself is a top student, so he is really a good match."
"Sister Wang, you are familiar with Director Bai and his wife, and it is really suitable for you to be this matchmaker."
"When I arrived at the office in a while, I told Cheng Gang that Director Bai's Weibo had a photo of his daughter, and Cheng Gang would definitely not be able to walk if he looked at it."
……
"Ah, Mom, you didn't go to work", when Bai Xue opened the door and entered the house, her mother was busy in the living room.
"Didn't you call and say that you would come back this afternoon, I was the vice chairman of the trade union, and I thought that I had nothing to do in the office, so I came back first."
Trade unions arose from the Industrial Revolution, when more and more peasants left agriculture for their livelihood and flocked to the cities to work for urban factory employers, but the low wages and poor working conditions in which individual employees were powerless to deal with powerful employers, which led to the birth of union organizations.
Trade unions have been illegal organizations in many countries for a long time, and the authorities have punished the establishment of illegally organized trade unions with torture and even the death penalty.
Essentially, trade unions represent the working class, opposed to the bourgeoisie, and naturally, there are many companies that do not agree to set up trade unions.
Wal-Mart is one of the most staunchly anti-union companies in the United States, and they absolutely do not allow unions to exist in their stores (with the exception of the Celestial Empire).
There was once a Wal-Mart fresh meat counter employees voted to form a trade union, and after all other opposition methods failed, Wal-Mart gave up all the fresh meat counter business in its own stores across the country, and all these employees were dismissed, and naturally there was no labor union.
In later generations, Jiang Hui can often see the General Motors Union leading workers to strike to demand a salary increase, the Hyundai Motor Union leading workers to strike to demand more bonuses, and the transportation presidents' union to organize a strike to demand the adjustment of benefits......
It can be said that in foreign countries, the trade union is a very good organization that does represent the interests of its members in real time.
However, in the Celestial Empire, everything changed.
Not to mention the trade unions in government organizations at all levels, they will not encourage members to strike or anything at all.
Even the industry in the enterprise only pays benefits, and on the whole, it protects the interests of the capital.
In this context, Bai Xue's mother, as the vice chairman of the labor union of the Finance Bureau, although her level is not low, there are not many things in the town.
"Hello, Auntie, long time no see, this is a little bit of my caution", seeing Bai Xue and her mother talking, Jiang Hui interjected.
The gift to Bai Xue's mother was personally selected by Bai Xue, and with such an "inner ghost", there is naturally no need to worry about the gift not being satisfactory.
"Xiao Jiang is here, he is here, what kind of gift do you bring", Bai Xue's mother said with a smile.
"Mom, open it and take a look, this is Cartier's latest diamond necklace, it's beautiful, I personally selected it, you can open it and take a look", Bai Xue said helpingly on the side.
"Cartier's, what are you doing when you buy such expensive things", Bai Xue's mother herself is a college student in the eighties, and her knowledge is naturally not bad.
"What about my dad, did you tell him that I would come back today?"
"You don't know your dad, you didn't see him a few times a week when you were in middle school."
"He'll be back in the evening, right?"
"I told him that you and Xiao Jiang will come back today, so let him come back early after work."
……
Just when Jiang Hui was chatting with Bai Xue's mother at Bai Xue's house, Bai Xue's father was busy in the office.
"Director Bai, what do you think of our newly opened Xiaocheng?", Sister Wang said when she came to Bai Xue's father's office.
The general office is an organization that serves the leader, unlike the following counties and towns, where any leader has an independent office.
With the exception of the Chief of Staff, which is also a separate office, the rest of the staff is in a large common area.
"Xiaocheng, a very good guy", as a turtle doctor, he chose to enter the civil service, which was relatively rare in Haizhu City in 2007, and Bai's father, as the deputy director of the General Office, must have heard of this person.
"I saw your family Bai Xue come back today, how about it, you also know this guy Xiao Cheng, you are worthy of your family Bai Xue", Sister Wang said with anticipation on her face.
"Young people's affairs, let them toss themselves, we do not interfere with the flow of parents."
Sister Wang has always been willing to be a matchmaker, but after Cheng Gang saw Bai Xue's photo this time, she became interested, and Sister Wang naturally immediately ran to Bai's father to become a celebrity.
"Although I don't talk about my parents' orders now, it's still necessary for my parents to help check the gates."
"That, Sister Wang, I'll have a meeting later, and I'll talk to you another day."
Sister Wang herself is only a chief clerk, but because she has worked with the city leaders for a long time, as the deputy director of the general office, she doesn't want to offend her, but she doesn't want to talk about Bai Xue with her again.
