Chapter 40: Strange Friends
After helping his wife in the kitchen for a while, before the meal, Lao Hou also sat down in front of the two guests, and he was full of praise for Fang Hanmin's performance in the factory, "Jiansheng, you don't know yet, right?" Xiao Fang is now a celebrity in our factory. ”
In the past few years, Lao Liu and his brother-in-law have rarely met, after all, it was he who introduced Fang Hanmin to Hongxing Pharmaceutical Factory as a temporary worker, he often worries about Fang Hanmin's situation, because of the lack of communication, he knows almost nothing about Fang Hanmin's situation over the years, "You didn't tell me, where do I know?" Xiao Fang has become a celebrity in Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory? Unexpected! No wonder people often say, Shibei three days should be impressive, you quickly tell me how Xiaofang became famous? ”
In front of Fang Hanmin, Lao Hou listed his contributions to the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory in recent years, "Our Director Yuan is very grateful to him, and now he is very important." ”
Lao Liu was very surprised, "Xiao Fang, when I was at the reservoir construction site, I thought you were very smart, but I didn't expect you to understand the process technology of the pharmaceutical industry?" ”
Without waiting for Fang Hanmin to answer, Lao Hou hurriedly said, "How can you just understand?" Which of his contributions, even if taken out alone, will have a huge impact on the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, because the problems he solves are all technical problems that the old engineers of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory have not been able to solve for a long time! ”
"That's even more powerful! Xiaofang, where did you learn so much about high-tech pharmaceutical technology? Lao Liu was even more puzzled.
Fang Hanmin prevaricated and said: "No, it's nothing powerful, I just used the time when I started working as a temporary worker to teach myself some pharmaceutical science and technology knowledge." ”
"Self-taught?" Regarding the answer given by Fang Hanmin, Lao Liu couldn't believe it, "Through self-study, have you learned such cutting-edge scientific and technological knowledge?" ”
At this moment, hearing Lao Hou's wife beckoning everyone to prepare for dinner, Lao Hou got up to help serve the dishes and set the tableware, the guests and hosts sat around the table, there were guests from afar, plus Fang Hanmin came to visit, Lao Hou was very happy, he took out a bottle of wine, and had to drink with the two guests.
"You two are in your fifties, unlike other people, you better drink less." Lao Hou's wife reminded.
"My sister is right, brother-in-law, we are both not young anymore, drink in moderation, Xiaofang is young, it's okay to drink more." finally met with Fang Hanmin, Lao Liu didn't want to get drunk and delay chatting with Fang Hanmin.
"I can't drink more, Section Chief Hou, Liu Gong, let's feel free."
His suggestion was not responded, and Lao Hou had to change his mind, "Okay, let's mainly chat and drink casually, but this first glass of wine is still going to be dry!" After all, Jiansheng and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and although I am in the same unit as Xiao Fang, it is the first time I have sat down to drink. ”
The three of them raised their glasses and touched each other, and after putting down the cup, Lao Liu picked up the chopsticks and put them down again, "Brother-in-law, since Xiao Fang has made so many contributions to the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, how can his status as a temporary worker also change?" Aren't you going to give him a regular in the factory? ”
"I didn't have time to tell you that Xiaofang's status as a temporary worker has long changed, but now there is no official recruitment index in the city, first turn him into a contract worker, so as to facilitate the appointment of the unit, and now he is working as a worker, and the unit has appointed him as the deputy chief of the technical department of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory!"
"Liu Gong, I haven't had a chance to inform you, I changed to a contract worker, Section Chief Hou gave me a lot of strength, if it wasn't for Section Chief Hou's full help, I don't know how long it would have been delayed." Fang Hanmin hurriedly confessed.
Lao Liu picked up his glass again, "It's really gratifying!" First of all, I wish Xiao Fang every step of the way! In addition, thank you brother-in-law for taking care of Xiaofang! ”
Lao Hou is not greedy for merit, "My care is a secondary factor, mainly because Xiao Fang himself did a good job, just because he solved a number of technical problems for the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory and won the full trust of the top leader, our Director Yuan withstood the pressure, overrode public opinion, and insisted on promoting him to the deputy chief of the technical department." ”
Lao Liu praised this endlessly, "This is a great achievement!" Even if you are admitted to university and graduate two or three years ago, it is difficult to achieve your current achievements. Xiaofang, congratulations again! ”
This is true, in Fang Hanmin's scientific research team, Wan Cheng and Guo Peng are Fang Hanmin's peers, Xu Hui and Jiang Guoxin are a few years older than Fang Hanmin, as college graduates in the new era, they have been working for a few years, if they were not transferred to Fang Hanmin's team to engage in scientific research, they would not even have the opportunity to be independent, let alone promoted.
Subsequently, Lao Hou asked Fang Hanmin about the work he is currently carrying out, and he made a brief introduction in easy-to-understand language, "If everything goes well, by the end of the year, after the Spring Festival at the latest, we will carry out in-depth technical transformation of the production line of the second workshop in batches, and at that time, not only the process technology of the second workshop will be far ahead of the national counterparts, but the production environment will also meet the requirements of green environmental protection." ”
Fang Hanmin mentioned green environmental protection, is many years later to have the concept, at that time, both Lao Hou or Liu Gong heard this statement, feel very fresh, but they Fang Hanmin mentioned that "technology will be far ahead of the national counterparts" feel incredible, in their minds, Fang Hanmin is just a high school student, even if the high school academic performance is excellent, after all, he has not received formal higher education training, not to mention the specific implementation, even if they dare to imagine so grandiosely, it is almost science fiction.
Although Lao Liu's major is water conservancy, which is like a mountain separated from pharmaceutical science, from the scene described by Fang Hanmin, he still feels that this young man is really not simple, but he really doesn't understand, where did Fang Hanmin learn these professional knowledge?
However, whenever faced with this question, Fang Hanmin always deliberately avoided it and was unwilling to answer it head-on. Lao Liu was originally a person who was willing to think about the other party, since Fang Hanmin was unwilling to tell the truth, so why should it be difficult to be strong?
Thinking of this, Lao Liu diverted the topic, "Xiao Fang, have you often gone home in recent years?" What's going on back home? Now that the land has been contracted to the household, the life of the family is better, right? Liu Gong is careful, just like when he was on the reservoir construction site, after so many years, he still thinks about the situation in his hometown for Fang Hanmin.
Hearing this, Fang Hanmin was stunned again, and in the face of this strange friend, he hesitated for a moment before answering: "I'm really sorry, because I have been too busy with work in recent years, and I haven't been back to my hometown for more than three years since I went back to my hometown during the Spring Festival in the first year of work, but I regularly send money to my hometown every month." ”
"That's right, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety can't be both, you are busy in the factory all day long, how can you have time to take care of your hometown! However, if you send money to your hometown regularly every month to subsidize your family, you can be regarded as fulfilling your responsibility to your hometown. Uh, you're twenty-four or five this year, right? Have you considered any personal issues? "Lao Liu, a year-old friend, really cares about Fang Hanmin from the bottom of his heart.
Mentioning this matter, Fang Hanmin was a little shy, "Not yet, I'm still young, don't worry." Besides, a family like mine is not qualified to think about personal problems in the city. ”
"That's not necessarily, your family conditions are poor, but how many people can compare your work ability? Don't think of yourself too lowly. ”
"Liu Gong is cheering me up, right? In reality, what girl cares about your ability to work? People mainly look at family background. A poor bastard like me, whose family lives in a remote rural area, is not as eye-catching as a city girl. ”
"Brother-in-law, Xiao Fang is a rare talent in the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, should you, the head of the personnel section, also help him think of a way?"
"Jiansheng, I can help Xiao Fang find a way to do other things, but this is the only thing I can't do. Marriage pays attention to fate, in fact, there is no need to worry at all, as long as fate arrives, marriage will naturally come to the door. ”
Lao Hou's wife also excused him, "Jiansheng, don't you know your brother-in-law's temper?" It's okay for him to do other jobs, but when it comes to matchmaking, he's a complete layman, and he can't even measure whether men and women are a good match, how can you ask him to help? ”
Fang Hanmin was already shy, and the words of the male and female hosts made him feel a little embarrassed, "Section Chief Hou is right, this kind of thing is about fate, not a question of who helps." ”
Lao Liu also felt that it was not appropriate to continue this topic, he recalled with Fang Hanmin some of the past events in the reservoir construction site headquarters, although the current Fang Hanmin only had a hazy impression of those things, and in order to cope with the scene, he had to hum and echo it.
After dinner, after thanking the host, Fang Hanmin was ready to say goodbye, and Liu Gong invited him to be a guest at home when he returned to his hometown.
......
During the construction of the pilot plant, the staff in charge of raw material procurement in the supply department reported to Fang Hanmin that he had not found a supplier in the city for the hydrogen purchased by the supply department, and that the nearest hydrogen production unit to the Hongxing Pharmaceutical Factory was a chemical plant located 200 kilometers away.
Hydrogen is a high-risk gas, long-distance transportation has great potential safety hazards, Fang Hanmin suggested that during the test, or the beginning of the depth of the second workshop, temporarily use the method of outsourcing to meet the demand, once the depth of the second workshop is completed, hydrogen as a raw material, or should be based on the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory itself.
Chief Engineer Lao Xia and Director Yuan fully agree with Fang Hanmin's plan, they believe that hydrogen, a very low-density raw material, is not a way to purchase a large amount of hydrogen in large quantities for a long time, because the freight has too much impact on the cost! If it weren't for Fang Hanmin's lack of time to take care of raw materials, they wanted him to consider building his own hydrogen production unit at the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory right now.
A few days ago, Director Yuan attended a seminar on industrial production and technological progress held in the city, at which he talked about the current production status and short-term and medium-term goals of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, which attracted the attention of the city leaders and naturally attracted the attention of the local media.
Just yesterday, Shuangling Daily contacted the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory again, they wanted to do an exclusive interview with Director Yuan, after hearing the news, Lao Yuan waved his hand to the director of the office again and again, "Let the comrades of the Propaganda Department receive them, I don't have time to accept any interviews." However, you tell the contact staff that Fang Hanmin's deeds must be added to this report, and you can't make the same mistake as last time! ”
With the lesson of the last time, the director of the office did not dare to be careless, and specially conveyed the meaning of Director Yuan to the head of the propaganda section.
"In this way, does Director Yuan want to highlight the propaganda of the other party's Hanmin?"
"His original words were to add Fang Hanmin's deeds, I don't know if there is such a meaning as you said."
When the reception staff of the propaganda department introduced the situation to the reporter, they mentioned Fang Hanmin's deeds many times, and the reporter proposed to conduct an exclusive interview with Fang Hanmin, and the director of the propaganda section believed that Director Yuan refused to be interviewed, and it was obviously inappropriate to let Fang Hanmin accept an exclusive interview with the media, but he promised to take the reporter to the scene to watch the technical transformation that Fang Hanmin had done before.
The content of the interview report was reported in Shuangling Daily the next day, also in the fourth article on the front page, and the same large bold headline was equally eye-catching.
