After taking the train with Chen Deshan for two days and two nights, the two finally arrived in the capital Jingshi. Yang Zhi hadn't been on a train for so long for many years. In later generations, major cities across the country were basically connected by high-speed rail, and the backbone network of high-speed rail has spread all over the country. As long as conditions permit, the Harmony bullet train, which is fast, comfortable and spacious, is Yang Zhi's favorite mode of transportation.

However, this time, Yang Zhi had a good experience of a green train that was relatively rare in later generations, except for some remote areas or temporary additional trains. The factory office bought sleeper tickets for the two of them, and they were hard sleepers. Yang Zhi on the bunk, Chen Deshan in the bunk. The bed is not very comfortable to sleep in, and the key is that the blanket and pillow have not been washed for a long time, and there is a strong smell. There is no way, Yang Zhi can only make do. Everything else is okay to say, after all, no matter the past or present life, he is a diao silk, and he is not a delicate second generation or anything. But there is one thing that makes him particularly painful, that is, the toilet waste of this green car is discharged directly to the railway, unlike the Harmony, which uses a vacuum collection device and disposes of it at the station. In order to "protect the hygienic environment along the station", the conductor will lock the toilet as soon as the train enters the city, and if you suddenly have an emergency, you can only wait until the train arrives and leaves the city. The taste of forcibly holding it back really makes you feel painful!

In fact, such regulations have caused many problems over the years. Let's take a look at an example, Xu Jinfang, a sixty-year-old woman: the flight attendant refuses to "be in a hurry". On March 7, Xu Jinfang took the K205 train from Qingdao to Chengdu belonging to the Qingdao Railway Branch with a hard-seat ticket, and changed to a sleeper ticket in car No. 5 and No. 11 on the car. The train was supposed to arrive in Chengdu at 6:02 a.m. on March 9, but it didn't arrive until nearly 9 a.m.

Ms. Xu said that when she arrived at Chengdu Station 40 minutes away, she went to the toilet and found that all the toilets on the bus were closed. She was in a hurry to urinate and found the No. 123 flight attendant in car 11 and asked to open the toilet door, but the young flight attendant flatly refused her. Xu Jinfang pleaded repeatedly, but "123" was unmoved. Xu Jinfang said: "Then I really can't hold it back, what should I do?" Xu Jinfang said again: "Then you want me to pee in my pants?" 123 replied, "Then I can't do it." ”

When the train was about to arrive at Chengdu Station, Xu Jinfang couldn't hold back anymore, and urine was sprinkled all over his pants. When she got out of the car, her thick woolen pants were wet, and she fell to the ground, breaking her ankle.

Fortunately, many new ordinary trains were later equipped with toilet collection devices, and finally avoided such embarrassment.

Although the train ran for a long time, Yang Zhi and the others did not waste it. In this car, there is nothing to do anyway, except for sleeping and occasionally moving, and the rest of the time, the two of them repeatedly scrutinize the report materials written by the secretary department of the factory office, integrating Yang Zhi's ideas, and strive to be more reasonable and convincing.

When he arrived in Beijing, Yang Zhi's eyes were black. Although I have been to the capital many times in later generations, this time was still 20 years ago, and the gap between it and later is too big. Fortunately, as the leader of one of the largest deployment units, Chen Deshan often needs to go to Beijing to go to the ministry and other units to do errands, so he is naturally familiar with the situation.

It was early in the morning, it was still early, and the agency had not yet gone to work. So, Chen Deshan took Yang Zhi to the Beijing office of Yituo first. When the staff of the office saw that the factory director was coming, they naturally arranged accommodation and breakfast for the two of them. Hey, don't look at the small scale of this office, the conditions are not bad in this era. It's different to follow the leader!

After settling down, Chen Deshan took Yang Zhi on the bus and went to the ministry. Along the way, Yang Zhi looked at it here and there, and felt that the Jingshi 20 years ago also had a unique charm. Although there are not so many high-rise buildings and not so busy traffic, the Soviet-style buildings are magnificent, the streets are wide, and everywhere is clean, which has the momentum of that era.

But Yang Zhi's expression is somewhat interesting in Chen Deshan's eyes. Looking at this kid's usual old god, he looks a lot more mature than his peers, and when he arrives in the capital, he will reveal his prototype! Hey.

After about 40 minutes, the two got off at Fuxing Road North Station, and Chen Deshan took the lead and walked towards a building opposite. When he came closer, Yang Zhi looked up and saw that two huge signboards seemed to show the identity here: "Ministry of Machinery Industry of China" and "Committee of the Ministry of Machinery Industry of the Communist Party of China". Thinking of the "Ministry of Textile Industry" and "Ministry of Electronics Industry" that he had just passed along the way, Yang Zhi recalled the information he knew. In this era, it seems that the departments are quite finely divided, and there are corresponding departments in various fields, such as the "Ministry of Petroleum Industry", "Ministry of Chemical Industry" and many other departments. At this time, Yang Zhi even had an evil thought in his heart, hehe, so many departments, does that mean that it is much easier to be a minister or something in this era than in later generations?

In front, Chen Deshan showed his ID and registered, and the two entered the building along the way. As a "local official" at the department level in the ministry and already had an appointment in advance, he naturally didn't need to find any general staff. directly took Yang Zhi to Li Guoquan, a member of the party group of the ministry and director of the general office. "Director Li!" "Lao Chen is here. Oh, and Xiao Yang! "During the last United Nations inspection, Li Guoquan was appointed by the party group of the ministry to go to Yituo to guide the reception work, and everyone has met." Hello, Director Li! Yang Zhi hurriedly greeted respectfully.

Generally, when the leaders of the directly subordinate units below go to the ministry, they will first go to Li Guoquan, the chief butler of the ministry, to sit here, which can be regarded as a common practice. After a few words, Li Guoquan dialed a phone call, and then walked upstairs with the two of them.

Coming to a large suite in the middle of the sixth floor, Li Guoquan instructed a young man in a small room on the side: "Director Chen, who has been delayed, has made an appointment to report to the minister." Xiaolin, take them in! Then he nodded slightly to the two of them and went downstairs by himself.

The person in front of him is in his 30s, wearing glasses, sven, and has a calm temperament. I guess he's the minister's secretary! The leaders of the ministry can call him "Xiaolin", but although Chen Deshan's seniority level is much higher than him, he obviously does not dare to be so supportive to the people around the leader, and said politely: "Secretary Lin, I'm sorry for your trouble." ”

This Secretary Lin didn't say much when he heard this, and was a little surprised by Yang Zhi's youth. But in an instant, his face was as usual, and he nodded in response, knocking on a door next to him, until a majestic "Please come in!" When he came, he opened the door and led Chen Deshan and the two in.
