A moment later, the two jeeps came to the small square in front of the office building of the Red Star Machinery Factory.

Wang Ye, who got out of the car, glanced around, although he couldn't see how big the area of the entire Red Star Machinery Factory was, but it was certain that the three-story dilapidated office building behind him was the tallest building in the entire factory area.

Other buildings, mostly various production workshops and northern bungalows, make the entire factory hidden in this mountainous area.

"Why are the two directors here together?"

At the same time as Wang Ye looked over, the few people who went to the door to shout just now also hurriedly followed, and at the same time, in addition to them, more and more idle machinery factory workers and their families gathered from all directions.

"Wang Ye, let me introduce you."

"This is the current director of our Red Star Machinery Factory, Comrade Zhao Lianzhu."

"He is an old revolutionary, he was only fourteen or fifteen years old when he joined the army in 34, and he was not yet the height of the gun he carried.

"I have studied in the literacy class in the base area, I have worked in the fields and in the wilderness, and I have sewed clothes in the clothing factory."

"Later, I followed Huaye all the way to Yanjing, and in 52 I followed the army to the Korean Peninsula to support, and one arm was blown off, and after the war, I was placed in a military factory until the Red Star Machinery Factory was put into operation in 54."

"He came to work, from the head of the production section to the factory director, he has been working for nearly 30 years!"

With Liang Jinsong's voice, Wang Ye's eyes locked on the old man with the sleeve of his left arm rolled into a pimple not far away, only to see him smiling, as if he was a little embarrassed and a little proud.

"Hello old-timers!"

"My name is Wang Ye, thank you for your dedication, so that we can live and work in peace and contentment today."

At that moment, looking at his smile and listening to Liang Jinsong's introduction, Wang Ye felt that the cold hairs on his back stood up, it was an indescribable vicissitudes of life, he seriously sorted out his collar and sleeves, and then respectfully saluted the old man.

Hearing Wang Ye say this, the old man's dark cheeks suddenly flushed with a hint of purple, and he quickly waved his hand and said:

"Haha, what are you talking about?"

"No thanks! You're welcome! It's all as it should be, it's all for the country! It's all as it should be! Hahaha! ”

"The lad is so gracious! So gracious! ”

Although he kept saying that he didn't need to thank him, it could be seen from the radiant smile on his face that he was excited from the bottom of his heart to get such comments and thanks from Wang Ye.

Then the two shook hands heavily, it was a pair of thick, slightly deformed and calloused hands with sharp cuts, and at the same time, the old man pulled Wang Ye to look at Liang Jinsong and asked:

"This doll can talk! Director Liang, is he? ”

Hearing Zhao Laohan ask, Liang Jinsong coughed lightly and explained:

"Our Red Star Machinery Factory was notified to you a few days ago about the national military-to-civilian reform pilot."

"And this Comrade Wang Ye is the new director sent by the Fifth Machinery Department to our Red Star Machinery Factory."

"Lao Zhao, you are not too young, the meaning of the organization is to serve as the executive deputy director of the factory, assist our Comrade Wang Ye, and complete the military-to-civilian reform of our Red Star Machinery Factory!"

"Do you understand?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Laohan, who was originally full of smiles, instantly stiffened, he slowly turned his head to look at Wang Ye, looked at Wang Ye's young face, and then turned his head back to Liang Jinsong and said:

"Director Liang, it's not that my old Zhao covets the position of the factory director."

"But...... But ......"

"But is the director of Xiao Wang, appointed by the leaders, too young?"

"I don't mean seniority, I'm just worried, are young people inexperienced?"

"It's not that you don't obey the arrangements of your superiors and leaders, it's just just."

"Our Red Star Machinery Factory ......"

Under Wang Ye's gaze, Zhao Laohan said in a hesitant manner, and finally he looked at Wang Ye, his expression was obviously different from just now, and he said with a hint of apology:

"Comrade Xiao Wang, I don't mean anything else."

"Really, don't get me wrong......"

At this moment, just as Wang Ye was about to say something, suddenly in the crowd of workers and family members watching around, a rough voice sounded:

"Director Liang! We didn't understand the matter of converting military to civilian use at first, but then you explained it to us, and we understood that the country needs economic construction, and we must reform military factories like ours that have stopped work and production, and we understand. ”

"Originally, we were ready for the reform of converting military to civilian use."

"But now the state has sent us such a young factory director, what does this mean?"

"Does the country not want us anymore?"

"Let's fend for ourselves?"

With this rough and angry, aggrieved and angry voice, the crowd of onlookers instantly exploded!

"Yes! Director Liang, what does this mean? ”

"With such a young factory director, how can he lead our army to civilian use?"

"Does the country not want us anymore? It can't be like this! We have also contributed to the country! ”

"That's right! Although we can't do it now, it's not that we can't do it, it's that the state doesn't assign us production tasks! ”

"We have medals, you can't treat us like this! I'm not convinced! ”

"I'm not convinced! Our Red Star Machinery Factory is also a meritorious unit, and we have also shed blood and sweat for the country! ”

In the midst of a noisy shout, Zhao Laohan slowly let go of the hands holding Wang Ye, Wang Ye's face was expressionless, while Liang Jinsong had a trace of annoyance on his face, and then shouted directly:

"Shut up!"

As soon as he said this, the scene was silent in an instant!

After everyone was quiet, Liang Jinsong looked around, and then said in a low voice:

"Let me ask you, what is Lao Zhao's background? Where did I come from? ”

For Liang Jinsong's question, there was a buzzing discussion in the crowd of onlookers, and many people had puzzled expressions on their faces, I don't know why Liang Jinsong asked this, but someone still had the courage to say:

"The old factory director was born in a revolution! Director Liang, you were also born as a soldier, and you have also been on the battlefield with real swords and guns, so we obey you! ”

Hearing someone say this, Liang Jinsong couldn't help but sneer, and then roared:

"Yes, you are serving me, you are serving Lao Zhao."

"But what's the use? Now the Red Star Machinery Factory is not like this? Don't I want to give you a production task? Don't I want to pay you the full salary? Do I want to see the kids all five or six years old still wearing open crotch pants? Watching you guys change bags of flour into clothes? ”

"Do I think? Do I think? Do I think? ”

In Liang Jinsong's roar, there was silence at the scene, and even many people directly turned red, and then under everyone's gaze, Liang Jinsong pressed Wang Ye's shoulder, pushed him to the front and said:

"This Comrade Wang Ye is a graduate of Huaqing Machinery!"

"According to the normal rules, people who graduate and want to enter the ministry directly, don't say it's you when the time comes, even I am a big man who may not be able to see in this life!"

"But now, he took the initiative to invite Ying to our Red Star Machinery Factory, why? Why do you say? ”

"In order to lead our Red Star Machinery Factory, the military to the civilian! Take our Red Star Machinery Factory to get rid of poverty and become rich! Do you understand? ”

"We are all big and coarse, people are high-achieving students, we only know how to shout, people really understand technology, understand? You know what? Science is the primary productive force! ”

"Now, who else has a problem? Who else is not convinced? If you take it, I'll go back and wait for news! If you don't accept it, come over to me! ”

Finally, Liang Jinsong's deafening voice finally stopped, the scene was still silent, and finally with the sound of squirming footsteps, the crowd of onlookers gradually retreated.
