Chapter 150 Little Worker
Standing outside Lin Zhenhua's door was Jiang Tiemei, who Lin Zhenhua thought would die forever.She used to be Yang Xin's master miller. No matter how much Yang Xin hated her because of Lin Zhenhua's affairs, this status as a master and apprentice cannot be denied.There are factory rules in the factory. If you don't respect the master, you will be poked in the spine in the factory.

"Master, why are you here? What's the matter?" Yang Xin asked.

"Hey, Yang Xin, is Manager Lin at home?" Jiang Tiemei said to her former apprentice with a smiling face.

Yang Xin hurriedly asked her into the room: "Xiaohua is here, master, come in quickly."

Jiang Tiemei walked into the room cautiously, and then put a bundle of cigarettes, alcohol and snack boxes on Lin Zhenhua's table.

"Master, what do you mean?" Yang Xin asked in surprise, Jiang Tiemei came to give Lin Zhenhua a gift, which is too bizarre.The quality of tobacco, alcohol and snacks doesn't seem very high, but they cost seven or eight yuan. Jiang Tiemei's family's financial situation is not very good, so it is quite rare to spend so much money as a gift.

"Uh, it's nothing, it's a trifle, please accept Manager Lin." Jiang Tiemei said to Lin Zhenhua.

Lin Zhenhua was sitting at the table to eat, but he didn't get up when Jiang Tiemei came in.When the housing was allocated last year, because he was allocated a unit, but Jiang Tiemei was not allocated, Jiang Tiemei went to the factory office to make a big fuss, and even said such vicious words as Lin Zhenhua's father and mother. lumpy.

Now that Jiang Tiemei came with a gift and looked so humble, Lin Zhenhua could no longer remain indifferent.He stood up and said coldly: "Master Jiang, what do you mean? I can't afford you to give me a gift. Please take it back."

"Uh, Manager Lin, I mentioned these things mainly because I want to apologize to Manager Lin. As for me, I just don't control my mouth strictly and like to talk nonsense. Maybe some of my words are not very good. That's nice, Mr. Lin doesn't care about villains, so don't take it to heart." Jiang Tiemei said humbly.

Lin Zhenhua frowned and said, "Master Jiang, I don't remember what you said. You don't owe me anything, so please bring these things back."

Yang Xin also chimed in and said, "Yes, master, Xiaohua never holds grudges, so you can take the things back."

Instead of picking up the present, Jiang Tiemei sat down on the stool, continued to smile and said to Lin Zhenhua, "Manager Lin, look, I'm here today to give you a gift. Second, I want to ask you about our family Fang Lei."

Lin Zhenhua knew Jiang Tiemei's intentions from the moment she entered the room.If it wasn't for Fang Lei's affairs, Jiang Tiemei would not have bowed to him.However, he and Fang Lei had a gentleman's agreement, so of course he couldn't sell Fang Lei out.

"Xiaohua, what's the matter with Fang Lei?" Yang Xin asked Lin Zhenhua strangely.

Lin Zhenhua couldn't explain the inside story to Jiang Tiemei, but simply said: "It's nothing, Fang Lei wants to enroll in our technical school today, but his eyesight is not up to standard, we have already eliminated him."

"Is the vision unqualified?" Yang Xin was even more puzzled. In the technical school admissions requirements, it seemed that vision was not particularly emphasized.Back then, people read less and watched less TV, and the rate of myopia was not high. Even people with mild myopia generally did not affect their learning skills.

She didn't know the tacit understanding between Fang Lei and Lin Zhenhua, and thought that Lin Zhenhua was really seeking revenge and deliberately making things difficult for Fang Lei.In front of Jiang Tiemei, of course she still wanted to defend Lin Zhenhua, but she felt somewhat unhappy.She is not a reserved person, and the unhappiness in her heart is immediately shown on her face.

"Manager Lin, my Xiaolei's eyesight is not particularly bad. In our milling class, there is a master who also wears myopia glasses. If you don't hear about myopia, you can't learn skills." Jiang Tiemei said in a tactful tone. The words were too aggressive, for fear of angering Lin Zhenhua.

"Master Jiang, Fang Lei's grades are good. He also wants to go to college. You should try to let him go to a college." Lin Zhenhua said, seeing that there was no sign of approval in Jiang Tiemei's eyes, he added: " He will definitely not be able to get into the technical school, we only have 50 places for admission this time, and there are many better conditions than him, so we have to pay attention to merit-based admissions, right?"

Jiang Tiemei nodded and sat there without saying a word.After being silent for a while, she suddenly burst into tears, and the tears fell down, which shocked both Lin Zhenhua and Yang Xin.

"Master, master, why are you crying?" Yang Xin asked in a panic, then she turned her head and said to Lin Zhenhua in a slightly reproachful tone: "Xiaohua, how could you do this, Fang Lei is our Didn’t Director Zhu and the others say that they should give priority to taking care of the children of the Hanhua factory? Just let him enter the technical school.”

"I know, it's all my fault." Jiang Tiemei began to babble while crying, "Manager Lin, I'm really sorry. I know I can't hide it from you. When the house was allocated last year, I was the factory manager. I scolded you there, and I wrote an anonymous letter to the newspaper, saying that you are corrupt and using your power for personal gain. Manager Lin, this is all because of my fascination. I already know I was wrong, so please forgive me."

She cried as she spoke, and when it came to sad things, she couldn't help crying until Lin Zhenhua and Yang Xin wanted to cry with her.

"Master Jiang, what are you talking about. You are Yang Xin's master and my elder, how could I blame you?" Lin Zhenhua said at a loss, Jiang Tiemei's age is not much younger than his mother's.Can you bear the appearance of an aunt-level character sitting in front of you and crying so hard?

"Manager Lin, if you hate me, you can beat me and scold me. Please don't make things difficult for Fang Lei. It was my confusion that ruined the child for the rest of his life." Jiang Tiemei cried.

Lin Zhenhua let out a long sigh and said, "Master Jiang, you misunderstood me. In Fang Lei's case, I didn't reject him because I wanted to take revenge on you. I really wanted to help him. I didn't mean anything malicious."

"You want to help him?" Both Jiang Tiemei and Yang Xin were a little surprised.

Lin Zhenhua knew that if he didn't explain the matter clearly, he would definitely be unable to pass the test, so he said, "Okay, Master Jiang, I'll tell the truth. That's right, I know you said some nasty things to the factory manager, and I guessed it at the time. You are the one who wrote the anonymous letter, and I really have a problem with you, and I don't hide that. However, in Fang Lei's case, I didn't get involved in this kind of personal grievance, I was sincerely doing his best."

"You really do his best, why don't you let him go to technical school?" Jiang Tiemei asked.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Master Jiang, I have learned that Fang Lei's academic performance is very good. If he is allowed to go to high school, he can definitely enter a good university and have a bright future. Although it is very honorable to be a worker in a technical school, our country A large number of skilled workers will be needed in the future, but for at least 20 years, the status of college students will still be much higher than that of workers. You let Fang Lei give up the opportunity to go to college and go to a technical school. This is what hurt him. I rejected him The purpose of going to technical school is to let him go to university."

"Xiaohua, is what you said true?" Yang Xin asked Lin Zhenhua on behalf of her master. She also didn't want her lover to be someone who would take revenge.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Now, let me tell you everything. Don't blame Fang Lei after Mr. Jiang goes back. In fact, Fang Lei came to me himself and told me not to admit him. He said he wanted to go to college more. Imagine going to Beijing to go to university like Xiaofang.”

"Why is this child so disobedient?" Jiang Tiemei complained, "What's the use of going to college? It's a waste of four years. If you become a worker, you will have four more years of service and your salary will be higher than that of a college student."

Lin Zhenhua can't help but laugh, and what Jiang Tiemei said is also true. The salary level of college students was not high back then, and front-line workers had various allowances. In addition, the working years were longer, and the salary was higher than that of college students.This is one of the reasons why many families are reluctant to send their children to college.

Lin Zhenhua also knows that after 10 years, these parents who do not let their children go to college will slap their thighs and scold themselves for being short-sighted, because at that time the salary of college students and the salary of workers will be several times different.

"Master Jiang, let me tell you that our country now advocates respect for knowledge and talents, and the treatment of college students will be raised soon. I assure you that within three years, the salary of college students will definitely be higher than that of ordinary workers." At a higher level. Then you will know my painstaking efforts." Lin Zhenhua said.

Jiang Tiemei is skeptical. Lin Zhenhua is a figure who is close to a magic stick in Hanhua Factory. Even if Jiang Tiemei has suspicions about him, he does not doubt his foresight at all.

"Manager Lin, do you really think college is better than technical school?"

"Definitely, definitely and definitely." Lin Zhenhua said.

"But, what if Fang Lei fails to pass the university entrance examination? Isn't it wrong on both sides?"

"How could it be wrong?" Lin Zhenhua said, "My Hanhua Company will not close its doors. Whenever he wants to go to a technical school, I can recruit him at any time."

"But what if there is no quota at that time? Now many people want to call their children back to take up the quota."

Lin Zhenhua said: "Master Jiang, don't worry, no matter how full the quota is, I will not care about Hanhua Factory's own children? If you are worried, I will write you a letter right now to ensure that Fang Lei will not be admitted to the university. Hanhua Company will definitely recruit him to work in the company."

"Really?" Jiang Tiemei's face was full of tears. She knew that Lin Zhenhua meant what he said. "Actually, I don't want him to go to college. Another reason is that it costs too much money. I heard that for A college student spends a lot of money, and Fang Lei has younger brothers and sisters, and his father and I earn money, how can we afford him to go to school?"

Lin Zhenhua thought for a while and said, "Master Jiang, how about this? I just had an idea, and it hasn't been discussed in the company yet. I plan to build a scholarship in the Hanhua factory in the name of Hanhua Company. The children of the Hanhua factory, as long as they are admitted to university, they will be rewarded with a one-time reward of 1000 yuan. Those who are admitted to national key points will be rewarded with a one-time reward of 2000 yuan. Those who are admitted to technical secondary schools will be rewarded with 500 yuan. Master Jiang, what do you think of this policy? ?”

"Will this really happen?" Jiang Tiemei asked in disbelief.

Lin Zhenhua nodded: "No matter how hard it is, you can't suffer children, and no matter how poor you are, you can't have poor education. Hanhua factory is just such a group of children. I hope that all younger brothers and sisters can be admitted to college. Hanhua company is not considered very rich. But this scholarship is still affordable. By the way, Yang Xin, please write this down, and I will talk to Director Liang tomorrow to establish a Hanhua scholarship to support all Hanhua factory children who can be admitted to college .”

Jiang Tiemei's heart knot was completely untied this time, she thanked Lin Zhenhua repeatedly, and got up to leave.Lin Zhenhua stopped her and said, "Master Jiang, you should take all these things away. Your family is not well off. If you can return these things, you can return them to the store."

Jiang Tiemei said: "No need, no need. Manager Lin, these things are considered as an apology to you. Thank you for having a lot of them. Don't take the grudge against me, a little worker."

Lin Zhenhua stepped forward, stuffed things into Jiang Tiemei's hands, and said, "Master Jiang, don't say that, I'm not an adult, you and my parents are from the same generation, and you are my aunt, how dare I put it in front of you?" Claiming to be an adult? As for remembering the hatred of a small worker like you, I remember what Director Zhu said to me, which is very reasonable.

He said, those of us who are cadres, if we really have the ability, we should fight against the leaders above and seek the interests of the workers.If, on the other hand, he flatters his superiors and dominates the workers below, what kind of a man is he?I, Lin Zhenhua, are not very capable, but I am not so lowly that I step on an ordinary worker like you to show my ability, right? "

Jiang Tiemei was stunned by Lin Zhenhua's words. She subconsciously took the cigarettes, alcohol and snacks that Lin Zhenhua handed him, and suddenly bowed deeply to Lin Zhenhua, saying, "Xiaohua, it's Auntie who is sorry for you."

Lin Zhenhua was also a little moved, and he said sincerely: "Auntie, even if this incident is over, let's pretend it never happened. By the way, when you go back, don't blame Fang Lei. Also, Fang Lei After high school, if you have any difficulties in study, you can ask him to come to me, and I can tutor him."

"Thank you Xiaohua, thank you Yang Xin, come to my house to play if you have time." Jiang Tiemei desperately waved to Lin Zhenhua and Yang Xin, and went downstairs with gifts.

Yang Xin and Lin Zhenhua returned to the room and closed the door. Yang Xin asked softly, "Xiao Hua, do you really not blame my master?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "She scolded me. If I want to completely forget it, I definitely can't do it. But, do you think I'm going to take revenge on a person like her?"

"Xiaohua, you are so kind." Yang Xin looked at her fiancé and said affectionately.

"Yang Xin, admit it honestly, did you scold me in your heart just now?" Lin Zhenhua asked with a vicious look.

"No no."

"How dare you say no? You looked at me with suspicion in your eyes."

"It's not full...I just doubted it a little bit."

"As a wife, can I doubt my husband? Say, how should I punish you?"

"I didn't, I didn't, help..."

The night at Hanhua Factory is so quiet...
