Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 312 Selfishness
After the meeting ended, everyone left the venue. Seeing that Zhao Dongsheng was still sitting and taking out a notepad to record something on it, Duan Yun walked slowly to his side.

A moment later, when Zhao Dongsheng finished writing, put the notepad in his pocket and got up to leave, he found Duan Yun who had been standing behind him.

"Xiao Duan, what's the matter?" Seeing that Duan Yun didn't leave, Zhao Dongsheng's face flashed with surprise, and he asked with a smile.

"It's nothing, I just haven't seen Secretary Zhao for a month..."

"Haha." Zhao Dongsheng smiled when he heard the words, looked Duan Yun up and down, and said, "I'm thin, and I worked very hard in the car factory a while ago."

"I can't help it, it's all imported equipment, I'm afraid that something might go wrong, so I can only work overtime and keep an eye on it." Duan Yun said with a smile.

"You can be regarded as the most hardworking and talented young man I have ever seen. Now the leaders above attach great importance to you. In the future, your future is limitless." Zhao Dongsheng nodded when he heard the words, and then said: "I will soon Retired, originally wanted to do something more for this factory, but now I have no time..."

"Secretary Zhao, can't you apply for a postponement of retirement with the leaders of the city bureau? Now that I can talk to Director Rui, I can talk to him to let you delay..."

"No, if I still want to stay in the factory, I also have people at the provincial bureau. I don't need your help, but after thinking about it, it's not necessary." Zhao Dongsheng interrupted Duan Yun, and then Smiling, he said to Duan Yun: "Director Rui is a very principled person. I know that Director Rui thinks highly of you now. You are the only English translator in the bureau, and you are also skilled in technology. You are also called by the internal reference in the bureau. I’ve praised you, it’s okay for you to ask him to do other things, but this time leading the retirement system is a document issued by the state, and there’s nothing he can do about it…”

"But……"

"You don't need to worry about my affairs." Zhao Dongsheng patted Duan Yun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You can say these words today, which shows that you still have a conscience, but you don't need to worry about this matter... …I have devoted most of my life and energy to this factory. I have also witnessed the glory of this factory during difficult times. I have a clear conscience for this factory! And I am indeed tired, and my energy and physical strength are getting weaker and weaker , it's time to rest, this retirement regulation comes just in time..."

"Secretary Zhao, since you said that, I have nothing to say, but I think this factory still cannot do without you..." Duan Yun frowned.

"Anyone can turn the earth if it is away from it, and the factory also needs metabolism, so there is nothing to say." Zhao Dongsheng shook his head, and then said: "Actually, I have been staying in the factory for my own selfishness. Both my son and daughter-in-law work together in our factory. I originally wanted to transfer my youngest son to work in the factory, but his education is not enough. I also wanted to avoid suspicion, so he has been in the group for two years. I didn’t transfer him to become a full-time employee. I originally wanted to do this next year, but now I don’t have time…”

"It's indeed a bit late." Duan Yun said with a frown upon hearing this, feeling a little sour in his heart.

In future generations, it would be easy for Zhao Dongsheng to work as a secretary in the factory and transfer his son to his factory to get a regular worker status, but in this day and age, the regular worker status is very precious .

From the establishment of the factory in the 50s to the present, Hongxing Gear Factory had more than 500 regular workers at first. Nearly 30 years have passed, and now the number of regular workers is only more than 700. There are strict policies for entering state-owned enterprises to become regular workers According to the regulations, one radish is one hole, including many children in our factory, who cannot get the establishment of regular workers. They can only enter the factory by taking over from their parents. Even if there are many children in the family, only one regular worker will take over after the parents retire. At most, the other children can work as temporary workers in the factory or join the collective.

Many people in later generations may feel that it is unbelievable that a secretary as big as Zhao Dongsheng can't solve the problem of his son entering the factory as a worker, but the reality is that factory leaders these days really don't have so many privileges. When your neighbors next door are buying vegetables in the vegetable market, you can often see them bargaining with the vendors at the vegetable stalls. Although the wages are a bit higher than ordinary workers, that’s all. Even some eighth-level technicians and model workers in the factory higher than their income.

The working class being the masters of the country is definitely not just a slogan in this era. As for the leading cadres in the factory, how well they can unite the masses is an important evaluation criterion for their competence.

Therefore, it was not easy for Zhao Dongsheng to break the rules and arrange a regular worker for his son. Many eyes in the factory were watching him. Once someone reported him, Zhao Dongsheng would definitely be dealt with by his superiors.

"Now the Red Star Factory is dominated by you young people. I used to be really worried about you young people, but seeing that you alone have brought so many changes to the factory, it seems that what I used to do in the past is indeed a little bit It's outdated..." Zhao Dongsheng paused, and then said: "In the future, I will walk around with Factory Manager Qin more often. Although Qin Gang and I had some disagreements before, it was all about work. In the future, he will be at the helm of the factory. Now, you must not contradict him by relying on your close relationship with the leader of the city bureau, the most common mistake young people make is acting out of loyalty, you are so smart, you should understand what I mean, right?"

"Understood." Duan Yun nodded upon hearing this.

"Now everyone in the factory knows that your technology is better than Chief Engineer Cheng. Qin Gang will definitely reuse you in the future, but you have to be careful, and you must have your own sense of proportion in everything you do." Zhao Dongsheng said seriously.

"Thank you, Secretary Zhao, for reminding me."

"Okay, you go first." Zhao Dongsheng signaled Duan Yun to leave.

Seeing this, Duan Yun glanced at Zhao Dongsheng, then turned and walked out of the conference room.

In fact, Duan Yun had a lot to say, and he wanted to comfort Secretary Zhao, but now Duan Yun suddenly felt that Zhao Dongsheng didn't really need the sympathy of others, and retirement might be a good thing for him.

Zhao Dongsheng is more careful. He knows that the people who used to be close to him in the factory are busy re-standing in line. If he and Duan Yun leave the conference room together and are seen by others, someone with ulterior motives will definitely give it to Qin Gang. Small report.

After seeing Duan Yun leave, Zhao Dongsheng took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and walked slowly to the window.

Taking a puff of cigarette, Zhao Dongsheng looked at the factory area outside the window, smiled and shook his head after a while...
