Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 253 Preparations Before Entering Beijing
"The factory offices are going to be moved, and you have to go to Beijing with us."

As soon as Xu Jichang entered the room and before he sat down, he said to Li Wanru concisely, "Have you got your money back?"

Li Wanru's money was all private loans.It would be really dangerous if she took away the money but failed to get it back in time.

"It was taken back a long time ago."

Li Wanru said, "I knew the news two months ago and cleared all the money I lent."

What?Did you hear the news two months ago?
Xu Jichang was a little surprised: It stands to reason that at that time, only he, Director Gao and Du Xiaojing were the only ones in the factory who knew the news.

It would be really not easy for Li Wan to find out this secret in advance.

"The news is quite good."

Xu Jichang sighed with emotion and said with a slight smile, "What should I do after I go to the capital? Will I still lend money?"

"I've already thought about it."

Li Wanru became excited when he asked him this question, "I heard that there are many old items and stamps sold in the capital. You can find good things if you search carefully."

"I think this is a way to make a fortune. Do you want to partner with me?"

Ha, this woman is really discerning.

Surprisingly, in the 70s, I was keenly aware of the future path to wealth.

Xu Jichang really admires Li Wanru now.

"No. Let me see if there are any other opportunities."

Xu Jichang shook his head and said, "You have enough money anyway."

Selling antiques and stamps is indeed a good way to make a fortune, but it doesn't suit Xu Jichang's character.

If one day he really leaves a state-owned unit to work outside, he would still prefer to choose other directions.

"Ok."

Li Wanru looked a little disappointed, "I went to the capital to find a house. Remember to stay close to me."

"must."

Xu Jichang grabbed one of Li Wanru's jade hands.

……

After the news of coming to Beijing was announced, Dongfang Fertilizer Factory conducted statistics on the willingness of agency personnel to come to Beijing.

Soon, the list of people entering Beijing was announced.

Xu Jichang saw many familiar names above.

Ding Xiawei, as deputy director of the factory's logistics department, voluntarily transferred back to the factory union and served as section chief while retaining her rank.

Shen Qingrui, Lan Qimei, You Qingxia and others are also on the list.

Xu Jichang breathed a sigh of relief.

It is naturally the best choice if everyone can go to Beijing.

Speaking of which, You Qingxia still stood up for her daughter You Yuqing.

Originally, except for Zhu Wei, who lives in the capital, everyone in the cultural troupe had to stay in the county.

As a result, You Qingxia added her own name to the list on the grounds that her daughter was too young to go to the capital alone.

In the face of such a major adjustment, people within Dongfang Fertilizer Factory naturally became unstable, and many people had no intention of working.

Fortunately, the production department is still in good order. After all, going to Beijing has nothing to do with frontline workers.

Under the leadership of Director Gao, a relocation command group was established in the factory, and Xu Jichang was also a member.

For such a big factory, besides people, there are more things that need to be moved to the capital.

Furniture is secondary. Except for a small number of valuables, you can ask your superiors for support after entering Beijing, or buy them yourself.

The important thing is that there should be no mistakes in all kinds of documents and files.

On a hot day, Xu Jichang was busy, first leading the dealership to organize and pack all historical documents, and then went to the security office to guide them in organizing the documents.

When the Security Office was sorting out documents, the person who cooperated with Xu Jichang was Qian Jinsong.

Xu Jichang obviously found that Qian Jinsong was much older than a few months ago.

I saw that his hair was already gray and there were many wrinkles on his face.

Xu Jichang knew the reason for his change.

The main body of the unit is about to go to the capital, but Qian Jinsong cannot follow due to various reasons and can only stay in the county.

Even if he can serve as the top leader of the left-behind department of the factory established later, he is destined to be marginalized.

People who can achieve this position must be extremely ambitious. Faced with such a big gap, there will inevitably be changes.

Xu Jichang was full of sympathy for this, but it was inconvenient to comfort Qian Jinsong.

He could tell that Director Gao wanted to bring Qian Jinsong to the capital in the early stage.

Now that Qian Jinsong wants to stay in the county, Factory Director Gao must be very unhappy.

If he starts to pour out his bitterness to himself while he is comforting him, how should he deal with it then?
Considering this, Xu Jichang didn't say much to Qian Jinsong, but silently shared more work to reduce his intensity.

Qian Jinsong wanted to complain to Xu Jichang several times, but when he saw his evasive attitude, he couldn't force himself to speak again.

Xu Jichang saw all this in his eyes and started thinking in his heart.

Staying in the county town was the path Qian Jinsong chose, but he still felt extremely distressed about it.

It is said that sugarcane is not as sweet as both ends, but people still often think about having it both ways, and are troubled by this.

It can only be said that human nature is like this.

After finishing the work of sorting out the archives and documents of the Security Department, Xu Jichang turned back to Factory Director Gao.

Factory Director Gao is quite satisfied with his efficiency.

"That's right. There are so many people in the command team, and you are the first to finish the work."

In the office, he said to Xu Jichang approvingly, "By the way, did Lao Qian tell you anything?"

"He and I just worked together and didn't talk much."

Xu Jichang said calmly.

"Oh. It seems he is quite peaceful."

Director Gao was quite satisfied with the result. He turned his gaze out the window and said, "I hope he can truly be at peace and not have trouble with himself."

"You have chosen your own path, so why should you turn your hair gray because of it?"

It was obvious that Director Gao’s words contained praise and criticism for Qian Jinsong.

Xu Jichang didn't know how to answer, so he had to keep silent.

After all, Qian Jinsong is his old leader.

He couldn't speak ill of Qian Jinsong in front of Factory Director Gao.

Not only that, Xu Jichang also had to relax a little bit to protect Qian Jin.

"Maybe it's just that we left and Director Qian felt lonely staying here alone."

Xu Jichang said tentatively, "He will figure it out in two days."

"Well, I hope so."

Director Gao smiled slightly, feeling very satisfied with Xu Jichang in his heart.

He was willing to defend Qian Jinsong at the critical moment, which shows that he is a nostalgic person and will not add insult to injury.

Such talents are reliable.

"Uncle Gao, please continue working here, I'm going out."

Xu Jichang got up and said.

"Don't leave in a hurry, I still have something to do."

Director Gao raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling Xu Jichang to stay.

"Uncle Gao, please give your orders."

Xu Jichang returned to his position and said.

"When a factory enters Beijing, someone needs to be on the front line, and no one is more suitable than you."

Director Gao said earnestly, "You will leave for Beijing in half a month to do some connection work for the factory."

"I'm not even the head of the department. Is it appropriate for me to do so?"

Xu Jichang said hesitantly.

"Don't worry about that. I will naturally say hello in advance."

"I will tell you now what you need to pay attention to during docking work..."

Director Gao opened the drawer with a bang, took out a notebook from it, and wrote on it while explaining to Xu Jichang.Xu Jichang kept nodding, finally took the notebook from Director Gao and left the office.

It’s good to be able to go to the capital in advance.

In this way, you can become more familiar with the environment and get to know more people.

Of course, the most important thing is to handle the things assigned by Director Gao well and ensure that the factory's subsequent trip to Beijing goes smoothly.

Xu Jichang thought to himself.

……

A few days later, the day came to enter Beijing.

Xu Jichang applied to Factory Director Gao to take Du Xiaojing on the train to the capital.

It's not tiring for men and women to work together. Du Xiaojing's family is also in the capital, so she can take the opportunity to visit her parents.

After several days and nights of journey, the train arrived in the capital.

Xu Jichang led Du Xiaojing and met a district leader according to the instructions in Director Gao's notebook.

According to the relocation plan, Dongfang Fertilizer Factory will be located in this area, and everyone's grain and oil relations need to be resolved through them.

The factory had already communicated with the district in advance, so the connection went smoothly without any problems.

The only difference is that the other party believes that some affiliated units of Dongfang Fertilizer Factory are not located in their district, and they have no obligation to provide grain and oil supplies for these employees.

Xu Jichang smiled after hearing this: "That's not entirely true."

"Our factory as a whole is still contributing output value to you, but without these subsidiary units, the factory organs cannot operate normally."

"Do you think this is true?"

The other party was silent for a while and didn't say anything.

Xu Jichang didn't push him, he just waited quietly for the answer.

In these days, supplies of supplies are not abundant everywhere. It is normal for the other party to feel hesitant. If you push too hard, it will appear that you are unreasonable.

"Okay. I'll fight for you, and we'll talk about it after we get the result."

The district leader frowned and said, "I'll give you a vaccination first. Even if it can be solved, the supply standard won't be too high."

"You have to be mentally prepared"

"Excuse me."

Xu Jichang expressed quickly.

After connecting this end, Xu Jichang visited the municipal construction company again.

The main building of the new office location of Dongfang Fertilizer Factory has been completed, but the water and electricity are not connected yet.

Xu Jichang's main purpose this time was to urge the people in the construction company to speed up the progress, so as to avoid people coming in who would not be able to use water and electricity and would be unable to work.

The manager of the construction company did not show up, and it was a deputy manager who received Xu Jichang.

Xu Jichang didn't think it was a slight.

It should be noted that the construction company in Beijing is on the same level as Dongfang Fertilizer Factory, so sending a deputy manager is definitely enough in terms of specifications.

"Oriental Fertilizer Plant, right? Just wait, there are still a dozen units waiting for us to start construction."

After hearing Xu Jichang's appeal, the deputy manager shook his head like a drum.

Xu Jichang was not anxious or annoyed: "Those units have subordinate branches in the capital. Even if the water and electricity cannot be solved for the moment, you can go to the subordinate units to disperse the work and deal with it."

"And we moved all the way from the Northeast and have no place to stay."

"If the water and electricity problems are not solved, we will be completely unable to operate."

The deputy manager's expression softened slightly after hearing this, but he still remained troubled.

Du Xiaojing watched from the side, feeling a little anxious.

"No, no matter how difficult it is, you have to find a way to solve it for us."

She frowned and said, "There are two to three thousand people with no water or electricity. How do you expect us to operate?"

"It really delayed production. Can you afford the responsibility?"

The deputy manager was so angry at what Du Xiaojing said that he frowned.

But just when he was about to have an attack, he seemed to notice something.

"Comrade, what is your name?"

"My name is Du Xiaojing, what's wrong?"

"Oh, I see."

The deputy manager immediately lowered his voice and said, "I will say hello to the construction team below and ask them to speed up the progress and ensure that it will not affect your work."

"You can rest assured."

The other party's attitude changed so quickly that neither Xu Jichang nor Du Xiaojing expected it.

After thinking about it carefully, both of them understood the reason.

"Thanks for bringing you along today."

When leaving the construction company, Xu Jichang looked at Du Xiaojing with a smile in his eyes.

"It was as if he had changed his face just now."

Du Xiaojing shook his head helplessly and said, "Who is this?"

"Let's go. The next heating company is a dozen bus stops away from here."

Xu Jichang urged with a slight smile, and he and Du Xiaojing quickened their pace and ran to the bus stop together.

In the next few days, the two of them spent their time in this rhythm.

We went from one unit to another to coordinate and solve the problems that the unit would face after moving here.

Every day I leave the guest house before the sun rises, and I am so busy that I don't even bother to eat.

When they finally ran through all the units, both Xu Jichang and Du Xiaojing felt a sense of relief.

"Uncle Gao is still waiting for me to return. You can stay in the capital first."

"Go see your parents."

Mission accomplished, Xu Jichang hugged Du Xiaojing and said in the guest house.

"Let's go see it together."

Du Xiaojing leaned on his shoulder and said coquettishly.

"No, Uncle Gao is still waiting for me to go back."

"I have been delayed here for a long time, and it will inevitably appear unreliable."

Xu Jichang thought for a while and finally chose to refuse.

……

Early the next morning, Du Xiaojing went home, and Xu Jichang boarded the train back to Northeast China.

Compared with when he came, he was alone when he returned, so the journey seemed a bit boring.

Fortunately, the factory found a way to get a soft sleeper ticket for him this time, and the conditions were pretty good along the way.

After arriving at the county seat, Xu Jichang did not even return home, but reported the results directly to Factory Director Gao.

"You did it beautifully."

After hearing this, Director Gao said with a satisfied look, "As for the issue of grain and oil, it doesn't matter even if it's a little less. We in the factory will just make up for it ourselves for our comrades."

"By the way, where is Xiao Jing? Why didn't she come back with you?"

"Xiao Jing went to see her parents."

"I came back first."

"That's it. You've worked hard all the way, go back and have a good rest. I'll give you two days' leave."

"In five days, the first batch of personnel from the factory will leave for the capital."

"So fast? Am I in there?"

"Don't worry. The first group is the office staff. They are responsible for decorating the office space, purchasing office supplies and so on."

"That's it. I'm impatient."

Xu Jichang touched his head and smiled sheepishly.

His body was tired now, but his heart was filled with anticipation.

Heading to the capital was much faster than he originally planned.

Big cities mean more opportunities, and Xu Jichang can't wait for it.
