In 1991, the streets outside the Ministry of Industry in Beijing were spacious and quiet, with the leaves of the plane trees swaying gently on both sides, and the sunlight spilled on the ground through the cracks, forming dappled light and shadow.

At this time, there was a faint smell of chemical industry in the air, and the people in suits and uniforms did not communicate too much, leaving a series of steady footsteps.

Chen Zhen and Hou Hongwen didn't go to take any bus or anything, the meeting was scheduled for ten o'clock, and the two took a taxi to the door of the Ministry of Industry, which was relatively convenient at this time.

The building of the Ministry of Industry is nearly seven or eight stories high, and the big characters of the Ministry of Industry with black letters on a white background at the door are a little dazzling, Chen Zhen and Hou Hongwen looked at each other without speaking, and just walked in together.

"It's ...... Wait for the factory director, right? ”

At this time, a man in a suit held a pile of files in his hand and interspersed with the two of them, and the man stopped and looked at Hou Hongwen's back and paused for a long time, and then shouted curiously.

Hou Hongwen immediately turned around and looked over, hurriedly greeted him and said, "Oh, old classmate, long time no see, long time no see, you have recently been in the Ministry of Industry?" ”

This person is not someone else, it is the old man of Hou Hongwen's school days before, the other party is also half of Dongshan, he himself is a southerner, but his wife is from Dongshan, and he was assigned a job to Dongshan Province after school, but he didn't expect to meet the Ministry of Industry now.

The other party also smiled and exchanged a few words, old friends always talk a little more when they meet, of course, the other party did not keep chatting, looked at Chen Zhen next to him and said: "You guys are busy first, I am also busy with the restructuring and transformation of a large enterprise, what are you?" ”

"That, isn't Pingjiang Match Factory in the recent bankruptcy list, this time I just want to fight for it, after all, this is also the hard work of hundreds of people in the factory, and I ...... it."

"Pingjiang Match Factory, it seems that it is indeed in this list, when I first discussed Pingjiang Match Factory, I was a little impressed, many leaders discussed this matter, and I heard that there were leaders who wanted to keep it......"

……

Yes?

There are still leaders to protect?

How come I have never heard of this kind of rumor, I can more or less hear these gossip in the Ministry of Industry, and I am almost isolated from the world in the ravines and ravines of Pingjiang.

After the other party finished speaking, he pointed out the road on the sixth floor to Hou Hongwen and Chen Zhen, and the few of them separated with a smile.

Hou Hongwen turned around after watching the other party leave, and the smile on his face just now lingered, but he and Chen Zhen continued to walk upstairs: "Leader? What kind of leader can say good things, is there still some hope in our factory? ”

"Waiting for the factory, let's go first to understand the situation, it's useless to guess!"

"Okay!"

The two walked quickly upstairs, the office of the bankruptcy and reorganization working group was in the conference room, and there was a director's office diagonally opposite the conference room.

"Oooo

"Enter!"

After getting the affirmative voice inside, the two followed, the size of the whole office is not very large, it is divided into two offices, one outside and one inside, and there is a young man sitting next to the office table outside, wearing a capable overalls, putting down the pen in his hand and saying, "Who are you looking for?" ”

This person is Director Lan's secretary, Hou Hongwen immediately greeted him with a smile: "I am Hou Hongwen, the director of Dongshan Pingjiang Match Factory, Director Lan and I have made an appointment to come over to report the work in the factory, you see!" ”

As the secretary of the director, he was also relatively cautious, lowered his head and flipped through today's work book, then nodded and walked to the door of the inner room, knocked lightly three times, paused for three seconds, and gently pushed the door open.

"Director Lan, the factory director Hou Hongwen you made an appointment with has arrived!"

"yes, let him in!"

Director Lan sat in front of the desk with a gold wire glasses, his head was already covered with gray hair, and after speaking, he slowly took off his glasses, picked up the teacup and took a sip before standing up.

Hou Hongwen and Chen Zhen immediately walked in, and Hou Hongwen hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands with the other party and greeted: "Director Lan, we haven't seen each other in the past two or three years, and your spirit is still so good!" ”

"Haha, the whole Dongshan is your Xiaohou's mouth is the same as Momi, I am sixty-five years old this year, and I have already reached the age of retirement, it's time to retire!"

"Hahaha, you can't retreat, no one can take over if you retreat!"

……

Director Lan smiled and greeted the other party for a few words, and then looked at Chen Zhen next to him, and Hou Hongwen naturally understood, and hurriedly moved away and said: "Director Lan, this is the head of the archives section of our factory and the head of the logistics section, come with me this time to report to you!" ”

Director Lan smiled and nodded, motioned for the two to sit down, and sat on the sofa and crossed Erlang's legs and said: "Xiaohou, I asked people to arrange you to go to the match factory, that was because the match factory was in full swing at that time, but no one expected that it would become like this now, and we have already decided that the match factory will eventually go bankrupt!" ”

"As for you coming to report to me this time, I personally arranged it, you can't go bankrupt and you are still staying in that place, don't worry, you are my old subordinate, I won't ignore you!"

"I have said hello to the leaders of Dongshan, you are almost old now, and there is still a shortage of a member of the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, you go over there to exert your residual heat......"

……

As he spoke, Director Lan waved his hand to his secretary, who immediately understood and took out a document from the Ministry of Industry from the drawer under his desk.

Before Hou Hongwen could speak, this document was directly handed over to Hou Hongwen.

The red-headed document of the Ministry of Industry issued a notice on the bankruptcy of Pingjiang Match Factory, the specific content of which is basically to explain the necessity of bankruptcy, the lowest personnel transfer issue, the deputy director of the factory continues to receive treatment until retirement, and Hou Hongwen is transferred to other places, and has other uses!

Really!

The notice has been issued, and this has also become an official document of the ministry, but Hou Hongwen read it carefully, this document has not been stamped on it, and even the date has not been indicated.

"This ......"

Hou Hongwen's doubts, Director Lan saw it, took the document in his hand and smiled and said: "It was decided to issue it in a week or so, and now there are some other voices in the ministry......
