In addition to vacating the guest house of the tea factory with the best conditions of the group as a dormitory, the company also specially opened a dinner in the canteen, so that these single young people can return to the dormitory after dinner in the company.

The company has carried out a series of competitions, speeches, singing, essays, ...... In short, every effort is made to make these young people not idle, not lonely. This Ning Qian actually won the jackpot every time, and also participated in various competitions in the provincial organ system, and also won the grand prize back. Of course, with the bonus, he was coaxed to invite everyone to dinner, and after comprehensive calculation, Ning Qian won the award just to make a reputation, from the perspective of money, there is no balance, and there is no need to advance the salary to entertain guests, which is very good at living.

Speaking of salary, when Ning Qian opened the salary slip in the first month, she was still a little surprised: it said that the basic salary was 149.95 yuan, and various bonuses and subsidies were added together, in the early 300s. Although he has no idea how much it will cost to live in society after leaving the campus, it is clear that this income is less than the living expenses given by Ning Qian's parents during college.

At the beginning of each semester, Dad will give her a one-time 2,000 yuan, and she will go to the savings office at the back door of the school to store her living expenses, plus the scholarship every semester, and there will always be savings in a year, so that the disposable cash on hand can always have two or three thousand yuan. Now in the early 300s every month, although it doesn't cost money to live, three meals are also in the company canteen, and there are shuttle buses in the transportation, but the meal tickets in the canteen have to be bought with their own money, and the transportation expenses when they can't catch the bus have to be paid by themselves.

Girls are better, and they don't need to buy anything, but boys are a little miserable: people who have just worked can't suppress the excitement of just leaving the campus, and like to call friends to visit each other's dormitories, and visit the dormitories of classmates' units.

Every 25th or so, there are two or three male colleagues to borrow money from Ning Qian, each person's gap is 50 yuan, at the beginning of the month paid wages and returned, Ning Qian fixed period, fixed amount for these male colleagues to provide interest-free short-term credit loans.

Before going to work, Ning Qian didn't know what department or position she wanted to be. During the interview, the head of the personnel section asked her if she was willing to do trivial work, and Ning Qian replied loudly: "How can you sweep the world if you don't sweep a house, of course you will!" "Yes, it is willingly from the heart.

There are eleven people in the general manager's office: Aunt Qing, Aunt Fen, Aunt Qiong, Xiao Wu, Xiao Li, Lao Wu, Director Chen, Director Liang, Director Xu of the big boss and Xiao Qiu and Ning Qian, who are newly separated.

Xiao Wu and Xiao Li are more clearly responsible for running field work, going to the higher-level authorities to get permits, go through procedures, and run customs; Director Liang is also the secretary of the chairman of the group. This secretary is not a small secretary later, but the secretary of the board of directors, the assistant to the chairman, and an important position around the chairman, with a level of deputy section. Director Liang is in his early thirties, polite, handsome and elegant, unhurried in his speech, gentle and firm in his eyes, and has both a unique aura and thoughtfulness before and after the saddle, which is really in line with the temperament of this position.

Director Chen is more than 50 years old, with a Chinese face, lychee eyes, and a hanging gallbladder nose, he used to be a literary and artistic soldier in the army, proficient in blowing, playing and singing, cheerful and humorous by nature, and the jokes told by Director Chen often linger in the office, and he also crosses the wall and crosses the building, attracting people from the upper and lower offices to come and listen, and where there is laughter, there is Director Chen.

Director Xu's hair is always meticulously blown, and his clothes are all relatively soft fabrics, but the styles are all professional clothes, and there is a kind of power to hide needles in the cotton. Although she is polite and caring to the general office and even the employees of the whole group, everyone who sees her, including the chairman, will involuntarily be in awe of her, and the jokes on her lips are still nine minutes in her throat and eyes.

Except for Xiao Wu, Xiao Li, and Director Liang, who are more aware of the main line of their responsibilities, others, including Director Chen, return to the office every day to wait for Director Xu to arrange work. Director Xu has been very busy, going in and out of the office every day, not to mention dozens of back and forth.

When waiting for work, Lao Wu will be more accustomed to making tea and reading newspapers with peace of mind, and Director Chen, who does not tell jokes, will read party building magazines, stand up and turn around a few times when he is tired, and then continue.

Xiao Qiu was arranged to connect with the company's legal counsel, lawyer Wu, when lawyer Wu came over, Xiao Qiu was responsible for accompanying the whole process, and at other times, Xiao Qiu occasionally chatted with Lao Wu, Xiao Wu or Xiao Li sitting next to him.

The other three aunts and Ning Qian sat in a district, and the nature of the work of the four of them should be relatively close. Ning Qian secretly observed: Basically, these four people are assisting Director Xu's work and are on call at any time. The core task is to transcribe the manuscript written by Director Xu. The job of these four people is to correct the manuscript handed over by Director Xu, and then take it to the typing room and hand it over to the typist to print.

After a few days, Ning Qian saw the doorway: they are all copied correctly, different people, copy different versions, and the importance is also different. If Director Xu's manuscript is scribbled, it means that it is really a draft, then it is a relatively less important post that is responsible for copying and correcting.

The manuscript handed over to Aunt Qing, the director's handwriting is relatively formal and neat, so the version copied by Aunt Qing will be submitted by Aunt Qing to the typist in the typing room, which means the final finalization, conclusion: Aunt Qing is Director Xu's secretary, and her status should not be underestimated.

Ning Qian's seat was arranged opposite Aunt Qing, although it was closest to the office door, but opposite Aunt Qing and behind her was Director Xu, on the central axis of power in the office. Of course, it's a pity that Ning Qian has such eyesight, but she doesn't have the emotional intelligence to transform observation into action.

When waiting for work, Ning Qian felt that reading the newspaper was definitely not good, and she did not have the habit of drinking tea, staring in a daze, dozing off with her eyes closed, this must be even worse, thinking about it, Ning Qian felt that she should bring the professional textbooks in college to the office to read, at least a state of being active and studious, always ready to transform book knowledge into practical work.

One day, when he was reading "International Trade Practice", Director Xu knocked on the table lightly behind Ning Qian's back and whispered: "Don't read textbooks at work, you have already graduated." Aunt Qing swept her astute and knowing eyes from behind her glasses.

Ning Qian was so frightened that she hurriedly put the textbook into the drawer, and her eyes suddenly didn't know where to fall. Secretly observed the others, reading the newspaper, drinking tea, reading magazines, flipping through folders, getting up and spinning in circles, yawning......

Director Xu saw Ning Qian's embarrassment and helplessness, walked quickly to her side, and said happily: "Come, Xiao Ning, you can correct this." "-Finally, I can receive such an important job as copying Director Xu's manuscript! Xiao Ning was excited, and his hands were a little shaky.

After looking at the handwriting, it was very sloppy and casual, then this should be an unimportant manuscript, and some places were crossed out, rewritten, rewritten, and crossed out many times, which shows the director's entanglement. Xiao Ning copied the entire manuscript seriously, and re-read it several times, trying to understand what the director wanted to express, and then gave the corrected manuscript to the director, and the director continued to revise the draft, and then passed the revised manuscript to other aunts to transcribe and copy the correct, and the other aunts' versions returned to the director, and the director continued to change on it, and finally went to Aunt Qing's hand to copy the correct version, and then entered the typing room with honor.

After a period of time, Ning Qian began to hand over two versions to Director Xu: one version was completely transcribed according to Director Xu's original manuscript, and the other draft was the part of the original manuscript that had not been revised + where the director repeatedly crossed and crossed out Ning Qian expressed it with her own understanding.

In the first few days, Director Xu read two manuscripts and didn't say anything, and Ning Qian didn't know which version Aunt Qing finally handed over to the typing room. A few days later, Director Xu handed Ning Qian the manuscript and said, "Xiao Ning, you can transcribe it and hand it over to the typing room!" This manuscript is actually the Ning Qian version, and the director has only changed a few places on it.

Ning Qian was really happy, transcribing quickly, and running to the typing room at a fast speed, completely ignoring the complicated eyes behind Aunt Qing's glasses.

The director began to have a new workflow: the first draft was given to Ning Qian, Ning Qian was returned to the director, the director was given to Ning Qian, and Ning Qian was given to the typing room. Ning Qian felt that she could actually improve the production efficiency of a manuscript so much, and she was a little excited in her heart.

One day during the lunch break, Aunt Qing, who was sitting opposite Ning Qian, looked at her intently, and looked at her very, very seriously, so that Ning Qian's scalp was a little numb, and she was very uneasy and asked cautiously: "Aunt Qing, do you have anything to say to me?" Aunt Qing's originally sharp eyes slowly softened, and she said softly: "Xiao Ning, are you the most beautiful among this batch of college students?" ”

Xiao Ning was uneasy: "Of course not, of course not." ”

Aunt Qing: "The group is spreading that we have a girl who looks like a foreigner this year. ”

Xiao Ning, full of gossip: "Really? In which department? ”

Aunt Qing: "Isn't that you?" ”

Xiao Ning looked dazed......

Aunt Qing: "I was thinking when I looked at you just now, where do you look like a foreigner, looking at your eyebrows, eyes and nose, it is indeed similar!" ”

Xiao Ning was silent for a while......

Aunt Qing: "The foreigner is good-looking, but you can be assigned to our general manager's office, which means that it is not because you look, but because you are talented." ”

Aunt Qing paused, and continued to say softly but earnestly: "I observed you and felt that you do have a lot of ideas. Director Xu asked you to hand over the manuscript to the typing room, I think it is also reasonable, you have this ability. ”

"Director Xu also understands my ability and character, even if this job of mine is replaced by you, she will arrange other jobs for me. But have you noticed Aunt Fen and Aunt Joan, who haven't transcribed their manuscripts for a long time? They are all very kind people, we all like you very much, and we think you are indeed very capable, Director Xu admires you very much, and our general manager's office is to protect you, but if you go to other departments, do you think anyone will be unhappy? If you are not happy, will someone give you small shoes to wear? It's good that you're so active, but won't you steal someone else's job? ”

(Writer's Note:

Friends who don't understand why Director Xu's manuscript needs so many people to write it repeatedly and repeatedly:

It was 1993, and there were no computers yet.

It's hard to imagine how the ancients who lived in the early nineties worked, right?

Then read on. ）
