After Xu Li rode to the city government, he first got off at the gate to register, and then went up to the gray building on the north side of the compound while inquiring. The gray building is not as mysterious and strict as he imagined, but a bit like the office building of the mechanical design and research institute in the factory. Thinking of this, the originally timid steps became more comfortable. But he could feel the office doors on each floor shut. The various signs hanging on the door seem to be silent guards. When you enter the door, you can't help but look up at the face of the sign.

He walked two steps directly to the office on the second floor, picked a door with only the word office on it, and knocked lightly twice. I heard the sound of letting in from inside, so I gently turned the handle to open the door. As soon as the door opened, the three or four people inside who were buried in their desks did not look up. He could only ask cautiously: "Excuse me, where is the director?" ”

A person at the table closest to him looked up at him and said lightly, "Which director?" Is it the chief of staff? ”

"No, it's Deputy Director Lu of the Economic Commission."

"Wow, in the second office across the hallway. Which are you? ”

Xu Li hurriedly said apologetically: "I forgot, I'm a machine." ”

A man who was immersed in writing looked up and said, "The people in a machine factory seem to have forgotten their hearts." Are you factory-run? ”

He hurriedly waved his hand again: "No, no, no, I'm not from the factory." "He didn't say he was from the foundry. The people in the foundry workshop went to the city office to do business, and it seemed that the level was not enough.

Someone who was writing at the desk smiled and said: "A mechanical factory is still here to deliver the manuscript?" You don't want to write another newsletter, do you? They have a lot of publicity. ”

Xu Lixie had already returned to the hallway. He didn't think about anything else, found the deputy director's office, and knocked gently on the door hesitantly. It was a middle-aged man who opened the door. Emaciated body and face. The middle-aged man asked, "Are you a machine?" ”

Xu Li was stunned for a moment, didn't have time to think about it, and said a little tremblingly: "You are Director Lu?" Our director Fang said let me get some information. ”

Director Lu, who didn't have a smile on his face, let Xu Li inside: "Hey, I'm ready, I just want to do things when I'm young, in fact, it's nothing." It was like that back then. What does he want all this for? Maybe you want to have a technology competition in the workshop? Isn't it always in the factory? And what do I do with all this information? In fact, it has long expired. However, young people nowadays do need to take care of it. Otherwise, the technical team of a machine will be more and more backward. As he spoke, he handed a brown paper bag to Xu Li, and instructed, "This is the information I saved myself, don't let him lose it." There are also photos of me and the leader. ”

Xu Li's heart moved, and his mind suddenly seemed to be stuffed with a pile of cotton, and he replied in a daze: "Hey, don't worry, you won't lose it." He didn't bother to ask. But his heart was suddenly unusually chaotic, and he had never been chaotic before.

He heard Director Fang introduce Director Lu. It is said that Director Lu was the best technical expert in a machinery factory when he was young, and he won the title of national model worker in the province and city. What's even more terrifying is that Director Lu once went to Beijing to attend the National Model Worker Conference and met national leaders. Such a high honor, such a magical experience, came from a young worker, and this young worker is not a college student or a technical secondary school student. So why was Director Lu transferred out of a machinery factory that year, and why did he go to the city to be a leader? Xu Li felt that it was both magical and reasonable. What should a capable person be a leader if he is not a leader?
