After dinner, I helped Grandma Sun wash the dishes quickly, and as soon as she dried her hands, Second Uncle Gu beckoned Song Yuanchao to come over and smoke a cigarette.

Jinling has always been one of the four major furnaces, and the weather is already hot in mid-June.

Sitting in the courtyard and feeling the evening breeze is much more comfortable than staying in the house.

Second Aunt Gu was playing games in the courtyard with her children, Granny Sun sat aside with a smile and watched, Song Yuanchao and Second Uncle Gu were not far away, and the two chatted casually.

Second Uncle Gu is an officer of the District Cultural Bureau, and he likes to chat with Song Yuanchao about literary topics on weekdays. These Song Yuanchao are also quite interested, so the two of them can talk together in many aspects.

After chatting for a while, after smoking a cigarette, seeing that Second Uncle Gu stretched out his hand to touch the cigarette again, Song Yuanchao hurriedly handed over one first, and then helped him light it.

"By the way, I've been forgetting to ask you these days, didn't you go to work in the Nandu factory? What do you think? Are you still used to work? Lighting a cigarette and taking a puff, Second Uncle Gu suddenly remembered this and asked casually.

"It's okay, I've been there for a few days, and I'm still familiar with it." Song Yuanchao replied with a smile.

"That's good, the Nandu factory is still a little famous in our Jinling, it's good to work in this factory, and your education is enough, as soon as you enter the cadre, there will definitely be a chance to be promoted in the future, and it's absolutely no problem to be a section chief or something after a few years of training."

Second Uncle Gu didn't know that Song Yuanchao went to Nandu to be the deputy factory director, although Song Yuanchao was a college student, but in Gu Ershu's opinion, even if a college student was assigned to an enterprise, he usually had to start from the grassroots level, which has always been a common practice. Of course, with Song Yuanchao's academic qualifications, a cadre status can't run, this starting point is much higher than ordinary people, according to his experience, Song Yuanchao's future is immeasurable, and he may be able to climb to the level of deputy section chief in a few years.

But Second Uncle Gu didn't know that Song Yuanchao was different from ordinary college students, because Song Yuanchao already had the status of a cadre before he was admitted to university, coupled with Lin Daoyuan's arrangement, his starting point was much higher than that of ordinary people, which was also the reason why Song Yuanchao served as the deputy factory director as soon as he came.

Song Yuanchao didn't explain Second Uncle Gu's words, he just smiled and nodded. After all, Second Uncle Gu said these words with good intentions, as an elder's concern and mention to the younger generation, although Second Uncle Gu has some stinky temper of literati, such as high morale, but from the perspective of friends, Second Uncle Gu is a very good person.

After chatting a few words on the topic of Nandu, Song Yuanchao thought for a while and asked: "Second uncle, do you know that there is a branch factory under the Nandu Factory?" ”

"A branch of Nandu?" Second Uncle Gu showed a thoughtful expression.

"This is not very clear, a branch? What is produced? ”

"It's said to produce orange soda or something, and the location of the factory is ...... in your district." Song Yuanchao reported the name of the place, and Second Uncle Gu suddenly realized when he heard it.

"I know, I know, it's been a Hongqi factory for a long time, and I didn't remember what you said earlier."

"Hongqi Factory?"

"Yes, this factory was originally called Hongqi Soda Factory, and now there seems to be a Hongqi Factory sign hanging at the door of the factory, I remember, you are right, this factory was assigned to Nandu many years ago, but we used to call it used to be used to it, so we have always called it Hongqi Factory."

"So you know a lot about this factory?" Hearing Second Uncle Gu say this, Song Yuanchao suddenly came to his senses and asked.

"I don't know, many years ago this factory was a bit famous, they mainly produce orange soda and salt soda, and the taste is not bad." Second Uncle Gu replied after thinking about it.

"Now I heard that the efficiency of this factory is not very good? Do you know what's going on? Song Yuanchao asked again.

Second Uncle Gu smiled when he heard it: "We ordinary people don't know whether the benefits are good or not, and I'm not from Nandu, how can I know?" But having said that, it is true that it is rare to see Hongqi factory's soda on the market in recent years, and I don't know why their soda is difficult to see. In addition, there are many soda factories in Jinling, and there are four or five brands that can be called by light, and their reputation is no worse than that of Hongqi Factory. There are also some large enterprises, such as Nanjing Iron and Steel Plant, these factories have their own soda workshops, and the soda produced is not only sold to employees but also partly to the outside world, perhaps for this reason, now the efficiency of the Hongqi factory is not good. ”

Second Uncle Gu's words reminded Song Yuanchao that state-owned enterprises, especially large state-owned enterprises, do have such a soda workshop setting, which is very common today. When Song Yuanchao was in Shanghai, some large units were the same, in the summer, they would produce some soda as a heatstroke prevention and cooling to the welfare of employees, even if it was a school-run factory where he had stayed before, he would buy the soda they produced from some cooperative factories and send it to the factory employees, including the school's teaching staff.

From this point of view, Jinling's soda factories include a lot of soda workshops of some large enterprises, which will inevitably thin the market share, coupled with the management problems of a branch factory over the years, so that the efficiency of a branch plant continues to decline is also inevitable.

"Why do you suddenly want to ask Hongqi Factory?" Second Uncle Gu asked curiously.

"Isn't this factory now a branch of Nandu? I have to find out about it when I work over there now, so I just remembered it and just asked. Song Yuanchao explained with a smile, Second Uncle Gu didn't take it seriously, he really thought that Song Yuanchao was just asking casually.

Following this topic, Song Yuanchao and Uncle Gu chatted for a while about several famous soda factories and their products in Jinling, and learned about the market situation from the perspective of consumers, and the two chatted for about an hour.

Early the next morning, Song Yuanchao came to the unit on time, cleaned up the office first, poured a pot of hot water, and then picked up his notebook and went to the conference room to see that the time was almost up.

In addition to Jiang Dahai and Gu Ping, the two first-in-command and Song Yuanchao, there were other Gu Changjun and other three deputy factory directors, plus the chief of the labor and management department, and the two section chiefs of the finance department and the supply and marketing department.

From now on, Comrade Song Yuanchao, deputy director of the factory, will be responsible for the overall work of the first branch, the Youth League Committee, the laboratory, and the factory's medical room, and asked the corresponding departments to do a good job of handover and coordination as soon as possible, so that Comrade Song Yuanchao can take over as soon as possible.

After the announcement, there was a round of warm applause in the conference room, and Song Yuanchao stood up and bowed slightly to everyone to express his gratitude.

Although everyone's reaction seemed to be very enthusiastic, and some people even said some words of congratulations and encouragement to Song Yuanchao, but in the eyes of everyone, Song Yuanchao saw a trace of pity and ridicule, because in their opinion, Song Yuanchao's so-called division of labor was completely a pit dug by Jiang Dahai and Gu Ping.

Not to mention the three marginalized places of the Youth League Committee, the laboratory and the factory infirmary, just the hot potato of a branch factory is not a good job, Song Yuanchao is a complete newcomer, a rookie who has never done actual management work at all, throwing the burden of a branch factory directly to him is not digging a pit? In the days to come, Song Yuanchao may not have a good time, maybe this young man will have to cry and ask for work adjustment in the future, and become the laughing stock of the whole factory.

Song Yuanchao looked at this one by one, but he didn't seem to know.

After the meeting, Jiang Dahai shook hands with Song Yuanchao with a smile and said a few words with concern, the meaning of the words was nothing more than that he was optimistic about Song Yuanchao and hoped that Song Yuanchao would play the role of a talent in his future post.

Gu Ping was the same, what he said was similar to Jiang Dahai, Song Yuanchao shook hands with the two with gratitude, and at the same time once again stated that he must live up to the expectations of the leader and work hard to do the work arranged by the leader.

"Xiao Song, young people have good ambitions! However, you must not be reckless in your work, as the old saying goes, you can't become fat if you eat in one breath, you have to eat in one bite, you have to walk step by step on the road, and the same is true for doing work. Hehe, come to my side more often in the future, the tea in my office is still good, hahaha. After Jiang Dahai and Gu Ping left, Deputy Secretary Gu Changjun also shook hands with Song Yuanchao with a smile and said something meaningful.

Gu Changjun's attitude is much more sincere than Jiang Dahai and Gu Ping, perhaps because Gu Changjun's status in the southern capital is transcendent, or he feels that Jiang Dahai and Gu Ping have joined forces to pit Song Yuanchao, or because of the love and regret of the leaders and elders for the young comrades, Gu Changjun mentioned the Song Yuanchao in his words.

"Thank you Secretary Gu for your concern, I must be sure, I must taste your good tea when the time comes." Song Yuanchao replied with a smile, Gu Changjun nodded, didn't say anything more, and left the conference room directly.

Back in his office, Song Yuanchao began to make preparations before taking over, and he was busy for a long time, and in a blink of an eye, it was already noon.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Song Yuanchao found a bowl and went to the cafeteria to eat, and after buying food at the ordinary window as usual, he ate with a few familiar workers, and everyone chatted about some ordinary topics.

After eating, Song Yuanchao finished washing the dishes downstairs quickly, and was about to go back to the office when he happened to meet Wang Feng, who had just come out of the cafeteria.

"Song ...... Deputy Director Song, have you finished eating? ”

"Finished eating, what? Have you eaten well? I didn't see you in the cafeteria just now. Song Yuanchao asked with a smile.

Wang Feng was a little unnatural, he reluctantly smiled and said, "I went late, and I saw you and your co-workers chatting after dinner, so I didn't go over to greet you." ”

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, you go wash the dishes quickly? Go ahead, I'll go back first. Song Yuanchao nodded with a smile.

Wang Feng responded, but he didn't move under his feet, he was a little hesitant and a little tangled, and lowered his voice and asked Song Yuanchao: "Deputy Director Song, I heard that the factory office held a small meeting this morning, is your work arrangement ......?" ”

"Well, the job in charge has been decided, what? Are you well-informed? By the way, I almost forgot, you Section Chief Tang is also one of the members of the meeting, and it's not surprising that you know. ”

"This ...... Congratulations to Deputy Director Song, I'm going to wash the dishes, you are busy first...... You get busy ...... first. Wang Feng's expression was a little strange, his smile was also a little stiff, he changed the topic and said this and turned towards the pool, looking at Wang Feng's somewhat avoidance of the plague god and the appearance of wanting to stay away from him, Song Yuanchao secretly shook his head in his heart, this person is like this, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, especially people like Wang Feng, who yesterday still claimed to be respectful to Xiao Wang in front of him, and today the news came out in a blink of an eye.
