On the afternoon of July 15, 1987, Sun Chaohua said goodbye to his parents and girlfriend and stepped on the train to Tianyang in the west.

The train traveled about three hours to the station, and when he got off the train, he went to the stock warehouse to pay a late fee before taking out the box.

After leaving the train station, I changed to the No. 4 bus, and about half an hour later, I arrived at the Tianyang Heavy Machinery Factory where I was dispatched.

Arrived at the reception of Tianyang Heavy Machinery Factory, the identity was verified by the reception staff, and a temporary pass was given after registration, and then it was sent to the cadre. ”

"That's a good relationship, which session are you?" Chaohua is very excited, it is a blessing to meet an alumnus here, and he is also the supervisor who cares about his transfer and promotion in the future.

"I am in the 83rd class, a full-time cadre training class." Director Yan said, "In the future, there will be opportunities to communicate. ”

"That's good, I still need to be taken care of by my seniors in the future." Chaohua modest politeness.

"That's right, besides, my job is to serve everyone." After speaking, he said to Chaohua, "Today is July 15th, according to the regulations, today should be counted as the 15th day before the report, the salary is paid on a monthly basis, and I will go to the guest house to live temporarily with the staff, take a good rest, recuperate, and go to the cadre office tomorrow to officially arrange work." After speaking, he called his subordinates and led Chaohua to sit down in the guest house.

On the way to the guest house, this subordinate reported to his home, saying that her surname was Xie, and if there was anything to do in the future, he could just look for her.

She also told Chaohua that there are more than 30 college and secondary school students in the factory this year, and the General Affairs Office will arrange everyone in the guest house for the time being, and then arrange it uniformly after the dormitory adjustment is completed.

In the same room of the guest house, there was already a check-in person, who saw Chaohua coming in with a suitcase, and immediately came to help bring the box to the room.

After settling down, Xiao Xie pointed to the helper and said, "His name is Zhang Liji", and after speaking, he introduced Chaohua to him, "You will stay with him temporarily, Liji, you come early, you can say hello if you have something." ”

"No problem," Zhang Liji readily agreed, and Xiao Xie took his leave.

"Hello, you already know the name, I am from Jiaotong University, and my home is Liquan." With that, stretch out your right hand.

Chaohua hurriedly put down the things he was packing, rubbed his right hand on his body, took his hand and shook it, and introduced himself and said, "Sun Chaohua, from the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, lives in Xijing, compared to you, I am a little ashamed." ”

"It doesn't matter, the important thing is that we know each other by fate, and we also have to work in the same Tianyang Heavy Machinery Factory." Zhang Liji saw that Chaohua was polite and humble, and said where his concern was.

"When are you reporting for work?" As soon as Chaohua's voice fell, Xiao Zhang had already responded, "I have been working for a week and have been assigned to the technical group of the hydraulic branch factory." ”

"You came early, you must have an understanding of Tianyang Heavy Machinery Factory, can you share what you know?" Chaohua tentatively asked for it.

Zhang Liji paused for a while and said, "I don't know much about it, so I will learn and sell it now." ”

He briefly introduced to Chaohua that the QCjC factory was relocated from the mountain and now belongs to the provincial enterprise, and the main products of the factory are the research and development and manufacturing of machine tools. Now the staff size is about 2,000 people, and there are several branches below, and he can't say the specifics.

Chaohua listened to it and sighed with admiration, "The scale is indeed not small, and it can be counted as the scale of large and medium-sized enterprises." ”

"Isn't it? I heard that dozens of college students and secondary school students are assigned here every year, and there are many colleges and universities involved, most of which are Xianyang Technical School, followed by your school. ”

After listening to Zhang Jili's addition, Chaohua also responded, "This is not surprising, after all, it is a mechanical product, and the school's major is just right with the needs of the factory." ”

"Ao, come to mind, there is also an alumnus of your school, from the Department of Water Conservancy, who is assigned to the quenching workshop, or my fellow countryman, I will introduce you to you that day."

"That relationship is good, one more familiar partner, and you don't feel lonely?" Chaohua is happy for him to introduce old alumni and new colleagues.

The next day, a quarter of an hour before going to work, Chaohua showed his pass, came to the door of the cadre office and waited, and at 7:55, Xiao Xie came in a hurry, saw him say hello, and hurriedly opened the door.

Seeing her cleaning the office, Chaohua took the initiative to help mop the floor, Xiao Xie felt embarrassed, but Chaohua said that he was very used to it, Xiao Xie no longer shirked, first went to clean up Director Yan's desktop, and then cleaned up his desktop, and found that Chaohua had already come in with a hot water bottle.

"I'm so sorry, the first day I came to our office, I let you catch up with the trivial chores of cleaning and fetching water." Xiao Xie said as he poured water with a hospitality cup, made tea, and put it on the coffee table.

"I'm used to it, it's very convenient." Chaohua also replied politely.

Xiao Xie took out the file bag from the filing cabinet, took out the graduation certificate, handed it to Chaohua, and asked him to put it away, Chaohua took it, put it in his backpack, and thought, "Register, the graduation certificate can be returned to his hands, it is really hard-won!" ”

Xiao Xie also told him that according to Director Yan's communication with the Business Planning Department, Chaohua was assigned to the Business Planning Department as an apprentice, and after one year, he would be deployed as needed.

After speaking, he opened the transfer procedures for Chaohua and said, "Director Yan specially explained, let you wait a little longer, and I have to communicate with you about work, and you need to wait patiently." ”

"Well, it's up to you!" Chaohua listened, so he had to wait for Director Yan to come back.

A quarter of an hour later, Director Yan rushed back, and when he entered the door, he asked Xiao Xie if Chaohua's transfer order had been opened, and Xiao Xie said that he was ready, and he would wait for Director Yan to come back and talk.

After hearing this, Director Yan replied to her, "Let go of the appointment for a while, and I'll talk about it after I finish talking with Sun Chaohua." ”

"Classmate Sun Chaohua, I've kept you waiting." Seeing Director Yan greeting him, Chaohua was just about to get up, but was motioned by Director Yan to sit down, and then he pulled a stool nearby to sit down and started a homely conversation with Chaohua.

Director Yan told him that in the full-time cadre training class of the Mechanical College, he and Chaohua had several meetings in the same grade, and they always felt familiar when they met Chaohua.

Chaohua looked at him carefully this time, and when he found the obvious streaks on the corners of his mouth, he remembered that the figure who was always willing to sit in the front row no matter morning or night, now it seemed that it was Director Yan.

"I have an impression of Director Yan, although I didn't know your name at that time, you always liked to find a seat in the front row, and I was more impressed."

"You were very careful at that time," Director Yan was very happy with Chaohua's preference, and he was very sure that Chaohua was very true and not polite.

"It seems that we are quite fated, so I will communicate with you about your work adjustments." Director Yan explained that the original cadre department suggested that Chaohua is the first enterprise management professional from Tianyang Heavy Machinery Factory for the first time over the years, first to the business planning department to fully understand the basis for the preparation of the company's business plan, and then to the production scheduling department, to understand the implementation of the operation plan, and then to the machine tool branch grassroots exercise, as a key training object, now the situation has changed, the deputy director in charge of production Li hopes that Chaohua will go directly to the machine tool branch to exercise, because there is just a merger of three workshops, there are many problemsThe challenge is also big, and I think it's more appropriate to go there.

After listening to this, Chaohua realized that Director Yan was talking about school life with him in order to increase his sense of closeness, and he was worried that he would have ideas about the deployment of the apprenticeship plan, so he went around in such a big circle.

"Director Yan, since you think we are still alumni, then I also make it clear that you can go anywhere, as long as you can give full play to your professional strengths!"

"Look at it, this posture is high, just now I also told a few leaders of the machine tool branch, you will definitely go? Now, my assurance is not a gaffe, their worries are unnecessary.
