Chapter 103: A Chance Encounter
The woman was a little panicked, "Ah, no......"
The man spoke in a town accent, "Are you going to Hiraizumi?" ”
Luo Shaoxing ignored the sick black short man and said to the woman, "You are an employee of Red Star, right?" He saw the orange sign on the left breast of the woman's overalls, "If you want to take a ride back to the city, get in the car, don't worry, I'm not a bad person." ”
The woman really wanted to take a ride, and Luo Shaoxing said it. She had to walk for half an hour to get on the bus, which she had come by, but now it was getting late, and she was worried that she would miss the last bus, and she didn't want her seriously ill cousin to ride a motorcycle...... The off-road vehicle in front of her was big enough, she didn't recognize the name of the car, but she knew the Toyota logo. Her gaze fell on the man's face again, about the same age as herself, well-dressed, and at first glance he looked like a rich man.
Her expression all fell in Luo Shaoxing's eyes, "I'm also a child of Red Star, maybe our parents are still friends, come up......" Luo Shaoxing turned around and opened the door of the left back seat, "Get in the car, I can send you to the gate of the Red Star Factory, basically by the way." ”
"You're a Red Star kid? What's your dad's name? "The woman's accent is exactly what the standard Red Star dialect is.
"Hey, you're too careful, aren't you?" Luo Shaoxing was a little unhappy, and said in his heart, "You think you are a beauty?" ”
The woman finally got into the car and waved to the sick man, "Go back and rest, remember to take your medicine on time." ”
Luo Shaoxing didn't start, he wanted to take advantage of this woman, "What are you doing here?" Enough remote ......"
"I'm coming to see relatives...... "My cousin," she said, gesturing to the man who was still standing there. ”
"He's from this village?"
"yes, what's wrong?"
Luo Shaoxing took out a cigarette case and handed the man a cigarette through the car window, "Ask you something, there was a police car parked here just now, do you know what the police are doing?" ”
The man took the cigarette in a bit of a panic, "Just now...... They take one person away. Just ...... from that house," he pointed.
Luo Shaoxing's heart sank, what he didn't want to see really happened, and the pot was caught.
"The one who was taken away was from your village?"
"No, the man is from outside and has been living here for a while...... Hey, are you going to go? The man touched his shirt for a fire and lit a cigarette.
"Of course let......'s go" Luo Shaoxing stretched out his arm and lit a cigarette for the man with his delicate Dupon lighter, no longer hesitating. Released the brakes.
"Smoke less...... Hurry up, I'll wait for you in the factory......" The woman leaned out of the window and shouted.
"What department do you work in at Red Star?" Luo Shaoxing thought that he could get the news he wanted from the mouth of this woman who went to his relatives, "Don't believe it, I am really a child of Red Star, my surname is Zhang, and I have many classmates in the factory." I don't know if you recognize it? ”
"Oh, you say." The woman came back to her senses, "Why don't you take the avenue?" ”
"Do you know what kind of car this is? It's blind to walk that kind of road......" Luo Shaoxing smiled, "Liu Lin." Acquaintance? and Han Ruilin and Bao Xianbing......"
These names completely dispelled the woman's nervousness, "I work in the Propaganda Department. I know the person you said, but I don't know it, so to speak. You and my brother are in the same class......" She was reminiscing about her brother's classmates, and there must have been classmates surnamed Zhang, but I don't know what it's called, actually. She only remembered the names of the men who killed her brother.
"What's your brother's name?"
"Xu Deguang. He's been dead for years......"
"You are Xu Deguang's sister?" Luo Shaoxing really didn't expect it.
"Do you know my brother?" Xu Deyu was happy.
"Recognize. He was a well-known good student back then, but we weren't in the same class, so we didn't know each other. ”
"Ahh So where do you work now? ”
"I work for private people, and I can't compare to your state-owned enterprises to ensure income from drought and flood."
"Where, our ...... with very low wages" Xu Deyu thought, Red Star's employees can't afford to buy such a car.
"Don't think crooked, I borrowed this car from a friend. By the way, I heard that your current boss is also a classmate of ours? ”
"Well, his name is Tao Tang."
"Yes, Tao Tang. I know he had a good relationship with your brother back then, and they were both good students. How, he should take care of you, like a promotion or something. I know that the leaders of Red Star are not poorly paid. Luo Shaoxing thought, judging from her clothes, this woman is not financially well-off, and she is probably not the head of Red Star.
"He is the chairman, and he is far away from me......
"It's because he's the chairman that he has the right to promote you. Back then, we all knew that Tao Tang couldn't get out of it, and he still owed your brother a life. I know him, but I haven't seen him for many years, "It's not bad to have a chat on the road, anyway, it's still a long time, and the topic is not in a hurry," I didn't think that kid was really capable, and he actually became the leader of the Red Star, how about it? Okay, right? ”
"What doesn't work?" The woman seems to have a lack of energy.
"I mean, is it okay for Tao Tang to be a popular star? Do the Red Star guys obey him? ”
"I think people are quite capable......," Xu Deyu replied honestly.
Luo Shaoxing stopped answering, as if he was thinking about something. Xu Deyu is not a person who likes to chat, so he fell silent, and Xu Deyu began to enjoy the scenery flashing outside the window.
She had come to Brownstone to visit her sick cousin. This is her ancestral hometown, Xu Deyu's father recruited Red Star in 1959, leaving only a girl who married into the village in his hometown, and passed away last year, Xu Deyu is very close to her aunt, moving around frequently, last week her cousin called her, saying that her cousin coughed very badly, and he was very thin, and he couldn't do it outside, and he came home, and he didn't go to the hospital, hoping that she would persuade her. Xu Deyu was not at ease, so he took Sunday to visit Brownstone Village.
My cousin didn't look good when they met. He used to be a porter in a logistics company in the city, earning three or four thousand yuan a month, but the work was not light, and he couldn't do it anymore. Xu Deyu was not at ease and suggested that her cousin go back to the city with her for a comprehensive check-up, but the silent cousin was reluctant to go. Xu Deyu knew that his cousin was out of financial considerations, his cousin had a pair of children, his son was a sophomore at Beiyang Normal University, and his daughter was in high school in the township.
Xu Deyu brought 3,000 yuan this time, but he just left it. Tell my brother and sister-in-law not to worry about money. The cost of the inspection will not be very high, she comes out. Wouldn't it be safe to check if you were fine? But my cousin really doesn't look good. Xu Deyu was very worried.
After staying for most of the day, I finally got through to my cousin and agreed to go to the city for an examination. Because he has something on hand and needs to wait a few days to go.
The car had already entered the city, and Xu Deyu said to Luo Shaoxing, "Thank you, I'll get off here." ”
"By the way, let's go a little longer." Luo Shaoxing originally decided to send Xu Deyu back to the factory. In his heart, Luo Shaoxing still felt guilty about Xu Deguang's death. But thinking that he might meet an acquaintance, Luo Shaoxing decided not to go. Last time, he took the pot to the hotel for recreation, and he actually met Han Ruilin, and he recognized the other party at a glance, but the other party definitely didn't recognize him. I lied to Xu Deyu just now, and he didn't like meeting an acquaintance to expose the lie.
After walking for about ten minutes, Luo Shaoxing pulled over and stopped the car, "I'm going to turn a corner, you get out of the car." ”
"Thank you so much." Xu Deyu was grateful.
"No thanks." Luo Shaoxing waved his hand. The start is gone.
Xu Deyu walked forward for five minutes, carefully identifying the direction at the intersection, which is the intersection of Baita Road and Cultural Street, and walked a little far back to the factory. So she turned west and walked west along Cultural Street, ready to take the bus back.
A black Audi pulled up in front of her, and Tao Tang's head poked out of the back window. "It's really you...... Let's get in the car. With that, Tao Tang pushed open the door on the left side of the back seat.
"Mr. Tao?" Xu Deyu thought, what day is today?
"Come on...... I'm also going back to the factory. Way. Tao Tang waited for Xu Deyu to get into the car, "Where do you go shopping alone on Sunday, go to the book market?" ”
"I didn't ...... I went to the countryside to see a relative......" Xu Deyu saw a large stack of books printed in a plastic bag in the Baita Book Market on the back seat, Xu Deyu wanted to see what books Tao Tang bought, but she wouldn't ask.
"yes...... Coincidentally. I went to the municipal party committee, walked back to the bookstore on the way, and happened to meet you. What do you think? Pretty busy lately, right? The factory report has changed a lot, and it is doing well. By the way, I asked the deputy secretary to give the Propaganda Department some bonuses, did you get it? ”
"No ......"
"Slow enough. By the way, the factory cleans up the off-duty personnel, does the Propaganda Department have this phenomenon? ”
"No ......"
"I know that you have been going to the workshop a lot recently, about cleaning up and leaving the post, do you hear any feedback from below?"
"No ......"
"Haha, you're a person, do you only say 'no'?" Tao Tang turned his head and looked at Xu Deyu, who was lowering his head.
"No, I really didn't hear it......" Xu Deyu was a little nervous. She did hear some discussions, but she never reported them to the leaders, especially a high-level leader like Tao Tang.
"Then I'll give you a task, pay attention to collect this discussion, report it to me directly, and tell me the truth."
"Mr. Tao, I'm not suitable for this ......" Xu Deyu was even more nervous, and beads of sweat were already on his nose.
"You're the editor-in-chief of the factory newspaper, so you can't just stay in the office and edit the manuscript. You have to learn how to compose the manuscript yourself. Each branch has propaganda committees, and it is necessary to use them all and truly give full play to their role...... It's best to build your own news outlets...... By the way, is there any remuneration for the manuscript used in the editing of the factory newspaper? ”
"No ......" Xu Deyu is a little strange, does the manuscript used by the editor of the factory newspaper still have to be paid?
"It should be given. Why not give it? When you talk to Minister Cui, you will say what I said, we must establish a remuneration payment system, so that we will have the enthusiasm to organize the manuscript. You say yes, right? ”
"It's better for you to give us an order, I said it's not appropriate."
"What's out of place? Don't say I command, just say it's advice. In addition, you want to make a formal literary supplement, our Red Star is a big factory, there are 10,000 people, and all kinds of talents are used, such as miniature novels, poems, and prose, which are rich and interesting. I note that the comments you wrote are very good, have connotations, and can grasp the main points, the disadvantage is that it is too soft, and it can be sharper in the future. The content of the literary supplement I just mentioned must be closely related to the company's production and operation, and priority should be given to those articles that are current and disadvantageous to the company...... At the end of the year, the outstanding collection can be selected for publication...... This is the cultural construction, such a large factory as Red Star, must have its own robust and simple corporate culture, only the formation of its own culture, the tree of life can be evergreen. ”
Why is he telling me this? The tree of corporate life is evergreen and quite poetic. But I don't need poetry in my life, I need something more realistic...... Xu Deyu saw the familiar scene and knew that the car was about to enter the factory, her eyes fell on the front row, on the shining plating parts and dashboard of the car gear. It was the first time she sat in such a high-end car, and the Propaganda Department did not have its own car, and occasionally went on business trips (mostly to meetings in the city) to ask the factory office for a car, and all the cars sent were "low-grade" cars, and the highest one was just the Passat, and this car was obviously much more advanced than the Passat. That's right, this is the company's top car, recently she heard about the car, said that the person next to her put the factory run of the Mercedes-Benz top account away, the car turned out to be Mr. Song's car, he was unlucky, don't.
The car had already driven into the factory gate, but it stopped quickly, Tao Tang pushed the door and got out of the car, and said to Wang Fumin, "You send Xiao Xu home, leave me alone......
She turned her head and saw him shouting something to the crowd in front of the factory badge. The door was closed, and she couldn't hear him clearly. She also wanted to get out of the car, but the car had already started, and Wang Fumin asked, "Where do you live?" ”
"Building 61...... I'll get down in front. ”
"Mr. Tao wants me to send you back, a long way away."
"Mr. Tao's book is on the cart."
"It's okay, I'll send it to Xiaozhao."
Xu Deyu couldn't help but check the book in the milky white plastic bag, and saw that it was a set of Bai Juyi collection. It's really a collection of poems...... She thought. (To be continued......)
