According to the test plan given by Fang Hanmin, the recovery and treatment test of the waste palladium carbon catalyst was completed in only three months, which was expected by Fang Hanmin, because this technology was quite mature in his previous life. For Fang Hanmin, this experiment is not to explore any new technology, but to let his scientific and technological personnel and workers increase their perceptual understanding of this technology through the experiment.

After the test, the two assistants handed over the data to Fang Hanmin, and the test results in front of him were basically the same as he expected, and he asked Guo Peng and Wan Cheng to build a set of waste catalyst recovery and treatment devices according to the test results.

......

One morning in early September, Director Yuan called Fang Hanmin and said that he had something to discuss with him, so Fang Hanmin put down his work and hurried to Lao Yuan's office.

"Sit down." Director Yuan's expression was slightly solemn.

Seeing that the leader was so serious, Fang Hanmin felt that something had happened, but it was not good to ask directly, "Director Yuan, may I ask ...... you?" ”

"Regarding the transfer of your fiancée, I asked several friends to no avail, and finally found the deputy director of the Municipal Education Bureau, and he gave me an answer yesterday afternoon."

Fang Hanmin felt that this was a good thing, and he couldn't wait to ask: "Oh, what did the leader of the Education Bureau say?" ”

"They agreed to transfer your fiancée to work in the education system of Shuangling City, but within two years, there was no middle school in the city."

"There is no establishment in the middle school in the urban area, Director Yuan, what does this mean?"

"What Deputy Director Wen means, they agree that your fiancée will be transferred to work in the city, but she will not be able to enter the urban middle school."

"What should I do if I agree to transfer in, but I can't get into the urban middle school?" Fang Hanmin felt that Deputy Director Wen's words were equivalent to not saying anything, he was completely fooling, and his emotions instantly fell to the bottom.

"It's not entirely a fool, Deputy Director Wen said that several middle schools in the suburbs have establishments, and ask your fiancée if she is willing to teach in a suburban middle school? If you don't want to go to a suburban middle school, you'll have to wait until two years later. ”

"I can't say this ......!" Fang Hanmin's mood was both helpless and frustrated.

"Well, let's go back and talk to your fiancée about what she thinks. However, whether she is willing to teach in a suburban middle school, or has to wait for the establishment of a secondary school in the city, you must tell me the result of the discussion, because Deputy Director Wen is still waiting for me to reply to him. ”

"Well, whatever the outcome, I'll report back to you. Director Yuan, I bothered you about my business, I really don't know how to thank you! Fang Hanmin said sincerely.

"Don't say that things haven't been done yet, even if your fiancée is successfully transferred to teach in a middle school in the city in the future, there is no need to say thank you to me. This is what I should do so that you can work with peace of mind. "Director Yuan is also telling the truth.

Because Song Yuping's office does not have a telephone, it is obviously inconvenient for Fang Hanmin to discuss the transfer with Song Yuping over the phone. When he returned to his office, he immediately wrote a letter to Song Yuping during his working hours, informing Song Yuping of the situation that Director Yuan had talked about, and asking Sister Chen, the attendant, to help send the letter as soon as possible.

After all, they are only more than 100 kilometers apart, and Song Yuping received a letter from Fang Hanmin on the morning of the third day. Transferred to teach in a suburban middle school in Shuangling City, how far is the suburban middle school from the city? Is it easy to commute to work? Do you live at school or can you go home every day? These are specific questions.

Because she did not want other teachers to hear her discussing the transfer, Song Yuping did not use the phone number of the academic affairs office next door to contact Fang Hanmin, so during the lunch break, she went to the outside school to make a public phone to discuss the matter with Fang Hanmin.

Song Yuping asked some specific questions that she thought of, not to mention that Fang Hanmin didn't know the answers to these questions, and even Director Yuan, who helped with the errands, didn't know the situation in the suburban middle school, and after some hesitation, Song Yuping decided not to go to the suburban middle school.

Fang Hanmin reminded: "I don't go to a suburban middle school, but you have to know that the urban middle school will only be established after two years, what should I do during this period?" ”

"If the suburban middle school is too far away from the city, I may also have to live in the school, and I can only go back to the city on weekends, and after two years, once the urban middle school has an establishment, I may have to ask someone to help me transfer back to the city, which means that I have to rely on the relationship twice. It's better that I wait for the establishment and ask someone to help me transfer after two years, and I will go to the city every weekend during this time. ”

Fang Hanmin agrees with Song Yuping's choice, he thinks that Song Yuping's analysis is very reasonable, no matter when, there will always be a favor for asking someone to do something, even if Director Yuan is very generous and willing to help, begging others to do things will at least add some trouble to the responsibility.

In the afternoon of the same day, Fang Hanmin told Director Yuan the results of their discussion, and Lao Yuan expressed his understanding, "Your fiancée has thought very carefully, if the suburban middle school is far away, it is very inconvenient to commute to work, if you live in the school, you can only go home on weekends, which is not much better than the current situation, it is really not interesting." ”

"Director Yuan, please tell the leaders of the Education Bureau, once the urban middle school has an establishment in two years, don't forget us."

"Don't worry, I'll tell him. Uh, is your wedding date confirmed? ”

Although he did not discuss the marriage date with Song Yuping, in the face of Director Yuan's request again, Fang Hanmin felt that it was not good to continue to prevaricate, "We have discussed it, and it is tentatively scheduled for May Day next year." ”

Director Yuan thoughtfully, "Around May Day next year, then I have to prepare housing for you, I told Lao Zhou last time, I don't know if he took it to heart, I'll ask him." ”

In front of Fang Hanmin, Lao Yuan dialed the phone number of Deputy Director Zhou's office, "Hey, I'm Lao Yuan, I want to ask, how are you preparing for the housing problem of Fang Hanmin that I told you last time?" ”

"Director Yuan, you know how tight the housing in our factory is, after you told me last time, I started looking for a house, and I went to every corner of the residential area of the factory, but I didn't find a decent house."

"It doesn't necessarily need to be good, as long as there is a slightly larger house, even if it is dilapidated, it doesn't matter, the factory can be repaired."

"There are no dilapidated houses either, and all the potential has been dug up in recent years."

"What then? In my opinion, the factory must solve the housing problem for Comrade Fang Hanmin! Lao Yuan gave the order to die.

Lao Zhou is the deputy director in charge of logistics, and he can't push off the task given to him by the leader of the unit, and after thinking for a while, Lao Zhou seems to have an idea, "Director Yuan, if you want to say this, I have a way." ”

"Say, as long as there is a way, you can do anything."

"There are several warehouses in the single dormitory building in the factory, and you can squeeze the items in the warehouse together, maybe you can free up a room for Fang Hanmin."

"How big is the vacated house?"

"It's estimated to be about forty square meters."

"Hmm----," Director Yuan nodded helplessly, "Under the current circumstances, it has to be like this." You ask the logistics department to prepare some building materials, find a few carpenters and bricklayers, and tidy up the house with a bedroom, a living room, and a kitchen. ”

"It's no problem, it's just ......" Lao Zhou seemed to have something unspeakable.

"But what? If you have something to say, just say it, don't stumble. ”

"Director Yuan, there are many young people in the factory who are applying for housing and preparing to get married and start a family! Not only are there dozens of fiancés who are double workers of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, but there are also older young people than Fang Hanmin, if they knew that the factory had solved the housing problem for Fang Hanmin, they would definitely come to me for a house, how would I reply to them at that time? ”

Director Yuan said angrily: "What's the bad answer?" Everyone knows the situation in the factory, if anyone compares with Fang Hanmin, you ask how much they have contributed to the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory? ”

Putting down the phone, Director Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Hanmin, your house is finally settled, although the house is not very good, the area is not wide enough, but first solve the urgent need, and then improve step by step." ”

Fang Hanmin sat opposite Lao Yuan, and he heard what the two leaders said on the phone, "Director Yuan, I'm really sorry to cause you so much trouble because of my personal affairs." ”

Lao Yuan said meaningfully: "It doesn't matter, you young people are the future of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, and helping you solve difficulties is equivalent to laying the foundation for the future of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, which is what we should do." ”

......

At less than eight o'clock on Friday morning, Fang Hanmin had just finished cleaning the office, and the phone on the desk rang, he picked it up, and before he could speak, he heard the other party report to his home, "Hanmin?" I'm Lu Hui, I'm going to go to Shuangling City today to inspect the market, and I'll take a car to the city in a while, and I'm going to arrive before noon. ”

"Need me pick you up at the station?"

"You can go to work with peace of mind, you don't need to pick it up, and it's not the first time I've been to the city. After getting off the bus, I will find a hotel to stay, and use this afternoon and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to inspect the market, let's meet tonight, get together, what do you think? ”

"Good! I invite you, this time we must have a good drink. ”

"It doesn't matter who invites you, call Yu Dongmei too, among our classmates, only the two of you are in the city, I haven't seen each other for so long, it's rare to come to the city, let's reunite." Lu Hui is a very affectionate person.

Since breaking up with Yu Dongmei, Fang Hanmin has cut off contact with her, and he hesitated: "Let's two big men drink, is it appropriate to call her?" ”

"We're classmates, what's inappropriate? When I went to the city to play with you last year, didn't I call her too? Lu Hui never knew that Fang Hanmin had a relationship with Yu Dongmei.

"Oh, yes, then call her." Fang Hanmin looked a little embarrassed, "You have her phone number, you can call Yu Dongmei." ”

"It's inconvenient for me to call when I get to the city, you have a phone in your office, how good it would be for you to inform her!"

It's not that he doesn't want to contact Yu Dongmei, after experiencing the breakup, Fang Hanmin thinks that Yu Dongmei must have a grudge against him, afraid that the other party will not give him face.
