Chapter 4, Daily Work

Wow... It's really good, I didn't expect to be treated so well here, and my luck is even better, this bachelor apartment is not inhabited by anyone, and now I have to enjoy it, so as not to be inconvenient when my roommate comes. Wu Xu said to himself.

In the evening, Wu Xu went to the canteen alone to eat. … Damn..., there are really a lot of people, the canteen is full, four dishes and one soup, the food is very good, mainly at eleven o'clock in the evening and supper, I Wu Xu handed himself over to Taiwan Cement Anping Cement Co., Ltd. in this life, what make-up examination to get a graduation certificate, civil servants, public institutions, and teachers are all fucking bullshit, Lao Tzu is a junior college and a bird, work here, maybe you can be a manager in charge or something, no worse than a national unit.

In the middle of the night, Wu Xu couldn't sleep, because although the apartment was well configured, the three-piece bed set and toiletries necessary for life must still be prepared, Wu Xu had eighty-six yuan all over his body, and he simply bought some toothbrushes and toothpaste and didn't buy other supplies, because he had to keep some money in his hand. It was really uncomfortable, the mosquitoes attacked all the time, because there was no mattress, sheets, quilts, etc., he slept on the bare board and couldn't sleep. The quality of this bed is too poor, as long as you turn over, the sound of the bed frame is endless.

I don't know when to go to sleep, it was 8:00 in the morning after he woke up, although he didn't get up early, but it was much better than sleeping until he woke up naturally, and he went to the clinker branch factory to report non-stop.

Wu Xu: Hello Sister Jiaojiao, I'm new here, my name is Wu Xu, now come to report, please help me go through the formalities.

Chen Jiaojiao: Oh..., Director Yu explained yesterday, hello, Wu Xu, come with me. Just finish it with me, you don't have to go to Director Yu's place to report.

After filling out several entry registration forms, Wu Xu was hired in the clinker branch.

Jiaojiao Chen: Eh... Wu Xu, which god did you introduce you?

Wu Xu: Sister Jiaojiao, no one introduced me, I was recruited in the talent market.

Jiaojiao Chen: Oh... That's right. Feed... Brother Chen, there is another electrician from the electrical section here, please come over and train him.

Chen Ping: Okay, you tell him to wait, I'll do something in Anping, and I'll come later.

So, under Chen Jiaojiao's arrangement, Wu Xu waited stupidly in the general office of the clinker branch. He looked at the busy and shuttling scenes of other colleagues, different dresses, some dressed as white-collar workers, some on the front line of construction, and some who were busy and covered in oil, and the working atmosphere was generally good. Especially Chen Jiaojiao, who doesn't seem to be very beautiful and doesn't look too tall, because she is from the city, she is fashionably dressed, and her figure is generally okay, and she is definitely stunning among men. It seems that she has a very easy-going personality and should have good cultural literacy, whether it is a leader, a colleague in the general office, or an old man covered in oil, she keeps smiling and looks capable. After waiting for nearly two hours, the leader that Chen Jiaojiao called Brother Chen finally came.

Chen Ping: You are Wu Xu, come to my office.

Wu Xu: Hello Mr. Chen, I am Wu Xu reported today, please advise.

Chen Ping: Sit down, I'm not Mr. Chen, call me Brother Chen, I am the safety officer of the clinker branch, full-time safety production work, according to the procedure, you should be trained by the company's safety officer first, and then come to me for training, and finally go to the section for training before you can start working, but the company's safety officer is not there, so I trained you first.

The electrical section is actually an electrician, you have an electrician certificate, and you have also talked about safety when applying for an electrician certificate, I won't say much here, let me tell you about the company's relevant regulations......

Chen Ping finished talking, Wu Xu knew that the original company is a Taiwan-funded enterprise, is currently the largest cement plant in the province, the company team members a total of seven people, the annual salary of more than one million, the company has a general office, trade unions, engineering department, quality department and other departments, under the mining plant, clinker branch, cement plant and sales department, clinker branch plant and set up a comprehensive office, machine repair section, electrical section, etc., Director Yu belongs to the middle-level cadres, Xie Yongqiang supervisor belongs to the grassroots cadres, Chen Jiaojiao is just a general worker, He has just joined the company for three months and graduated from the Department of Chinese at Qianjiang University. Chen Ping is a graduate of the Qianjiang Police Academy, is taking the civil service examination, has passed the written test and interview, and will immediately take the physical fitness test, because his height is not high, it is estimated that he is more likely to be eliminated.

Wu Xu: I can't imagine that Brother Chen is the best, the object of our worship.

Chen Ping: You don't know, this batch of more than 40 recruits, all of them are college degree or above, I learned that many people actually don't want to work here for a long time, but they haven't been admitted for the time being, so let's make some money first. After a long time, you will find that everyone is actually preparing for the civil service exam. I don't know what you think?

Wu Xu: My skills are too poor, and I am ready to work here with peace of mind, I think this place is also good, no worse than the national unit.

Chen Ping: It's not bad here, but we rural people are used to studying in college and entering the state unit, and in the enterprise, you still have to have real skills, I think you are an honest person, how long you work in the company, there are many related households here, and the complexity is unimaginable.

Wu Xu: Thank you Brother Chen for reminding me, and I hope you have passed the physical fitness test and realized your ideals.

Chen Ping: Okay, let's not talk about it, I'll take you to the electrical section to report!

Chen Ping took Wu Xu through several intersections, passed under the cement kiln, and went to the place under the vacuum cleaner is the office of the electrical section. Behind the office is a high-voltage distribution box, and a filing cabinet filled with electrical drawings. On the left is the warehouse, full of cables, electrical tape, wires, seat belts, hard hats, and so on.

Chen Ping: Zhang Duanchang, this is a newcomer to Wu Xu, who graduated from university, and has been assigned to your section, and has been trained in safety by the company and branch, so you can arrange a job. Wu Xu, this is your direct leader Zhang Youxiang, Zhang Duanchang, you will be arranged by him in the future.

Wu Xu: Hello Zhang Duan, I, Wu Xu, say hello to everyone.

Zhang Youxiang: That's right, college student, who introduced you?

Wu Xu: Hello Duan Chang, no one introduced me, I came by myself.

Zhang Youxiang: Oh! I came by myself. It just so happens that Liu Huiming, you came a few days earlier than the two of them, and you will take them to clean the cement kiln avenue in the afternoon.

Liu Huiming, a native of Anping County, graduated from university with a bachelor's degree, came to the company two weeks earlier than Wu Xu, and is now basically familiar with the situation of the electrical section. The other is Wang Wendi, who graduated from Southeast University and majored in electrical engineering, and came three days earlier than Wu Xu. In Zhang Youxiang's eyes, they are all the pride of the sky.

Liu Huiming: Okay, I'll be there in the afternoon.

Chen Ping: Zhang Duanchang, Wu Xu, you guys are busy, I'll go first.

After lunch, Wu Xu worked alone in the section to read the drawings and materials, and everyone else was taking a lunch break. This is the production line, unlike the administrative department with all the office facilities, the section personnel either doze off on the stool, or find a cool place to rest, and some even fall asleep directly next to the power distribution cabinet. Wu Xu thought to himself, this should be the so-called wage earner!

In the afternoon, Wu Xu, Wang Wendi, Liu Huiming picked up the tools and went to the cement kiln avenue, because the factory is still under construction, in addition to the completion of the construction of the administrative center and living area, the production area is full of busy scenes, passing by the construction site, Wang Wendi suddenly asked: Wu Xu, this situation, what do you think?

Wu Xu: It's okay, it's all human nature, life is like this, and work is the same. It's just that this construction site is very similar to the scene in the movie.

Wendi Wang: What scene?

Wu Xu: The scene of a Hong Kong movie solving a crime.

Liu Huiming: Do you mean that it feels like a scene in a movie where there may be a corpse buried under the construction site?

Wendi Wang: Don't scare me, I'm timid.

The three of them said as they walked, and unconsciously came to the cement kiln avenue, which is the only road leading to the mining branch and the cement branch, all construction trucks pass by, and the road is full of dirt. Section Chief Zhang Youxiang arranged for the three of them to use shovels to shovel the soil off the road and clean it up.

On a three-kilometer-long road, three people started working without saying a word. Wu Xu is from the countryside, and doing such work is commonplace; Liu Huiming came earlier than them, and originally arranged for him to deliberately suppress the arrogance of college students such as Wu Xu and Wang Wendi, so he was unhurried to work. Wang Wendi is a native of Jiangnan Province, and his parents both have jobs, so he usually doesn't do much rough work, so it is more difficult.

Wang Wendi sighed: Is there no water in the section or what? I knew that it was too hot today, and I couldn't find it if I wanted to bring some mineral water, and the old comrades who asked the section said no. It's the first time I've done this work in the sun on such a hot day. Wu Xu, are you tired?

Wu Xu: Why don't you get tired, but I can persevere, Brother Di, let's grit our teeth and it's over.

After a while the car passed by, and after a while a colleague passed by, Liu Huiming and his colleagues exchanged a few words and then got to work in style. Wu Xu saw that he didn't know anyone, and he didn't say hello, he buried himself in hard work, and occasionally stood up and rested for a while. Wang Wendi takes a break from time to time, looks at his phone from time to time, and looks at the sky from time to time.

At about 18:20, the administrative class has already gotten off work, the shift has been handed over, and Wu Xu and the three of them have also cleaned the cement kiln avenue. While eating in the cafeteria, Wu Xu's phone rang.

Wu Xu: Hello, who is it?

Zhang Youxiang: Are you Wu Xu? I'm Zhang Youxiang, I heard that you are not serious when you work in the afternoon, some of you are looking at your mobile phone, how did you do it, write me a check tomorrow.

Wu Xu: Okay, but I often work on the construction site, there are national projects, there are also small projects contracted by private small bosses, we all do this, this kind of work intensity and work progress is already very good, our electrical section is doing technical work, to clean the avenue we are laymen, tomorrow I will have a deep review.

Without waiting for Wu Xu to finish speaking, Zhang Youxiang hung up the phone directly.

Wendi Wang: What's the matter, someone is embarrassing you?

Wu Xu: Get used to it, some people have rivers and lakes, work may not be difficult, but the difficult thing is to deal with people's relationships!

Wang Wendi stretched out his hand and looked at it again, and said: The skin of the hands is broken, and it is badly broken, I have never done such a thing.

Wu Xu: Our position is an electrical technician, for a long time, it's good to have technology, take your time!

Wendi Wang: The style of work here is different from that in our hometown, and the people here are more rude, especially the leaders, who are not so much resolute as arbitrary. In short, the effort here is not proportional to the gain.

Wu Xu: What's wrong, you have a lot of ideas?

Wendi Wang: Okay, let's not talk about it, let's take a step at a time!
