Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Yi Zhonghai's mind raced and he immediately came up with a plan. He then said hello to Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu and walked towards the workshop director's office.

After Yi Zhonghai left, Jia Dongxu pulled Sha Zhu and whispered something in his ear.

After hearing this, Sha Zhu showed his signature smile, patted his chest and nodded in agreement.

Then the two of them walked towards the factory arm in arm.

Wang Jianjun didn't know that he was being targeted by Yi Zhonghai and his gang.

After arriving at the security room, he generously took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes and distributed them to several colleagues in the security department.

He bought the cigarettes at a supply and marketing cooperative he passed by before coming to the factory.

Most men of this era like to smoke and drink.

There is even a saying that "smokers support national defense."

Wang Jianjun didn't smoke in his previous life, and he doesn't want to smoke in this life.

The main purpose of buying this cigarette is to get closer to people.

In such an environment, you can choose not to smoke but you can't be without cigarettes to give to others.

Sure enough, after the smoke cleared, the attitudes of several colleagues from the security department towards him changed immediately.

When I heard that Wang Jianjun came from the army and was transferred to work at the steel rolling mill after making meritorious service, I liked him even more.

Many colleagues in the security department are retired from the army.

This gave them a greater sense of belonging to each other.

The Security Department is somewhat special.

The official name in this era is internal security officer, but everyone is used to calling it the Security Department. Later, there was a special name called Economic Police.

This department is mainly built, maintained and used by the factory itself.

However, the leader of the Security Department was transferred from the Public Security Bureau and is specifically responsible for leadership work, which is under dual management.

Essentially, except for the leader of the security department, everyone else is an employee of the steel mill.

The emergence of this system was mainly due to the fact that the public security force was short of police force in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China and was unable to maintain social order normally.

It can be considered a special product of a special era.

"Xiao Wang, the security at the factory gate is in the charge of our second team. If you have any questions in the future, you can come to our second team."

The speaker was a middle-aged man with dark skin named Zhao Yong. He was also a retired soldier. He said he had been to the Korean battlefield before.

Wang Jianjun also knew the importance of maintaining a good relationship with the Security Department, which was a violent department with real power.

If you have good relationships with these people, you will have more protection when trouble arises in the future.

As they were talking, the security personnel who had gone to the factory for consultation came back.

After confirming his identity, Zhao Yong asked someone to lead Wang Jianjun to go through the formalities.

Before leaving, Wang Jianjun left the remaining half pack of cigarettes to Zhao Yong on the grounds that he did not smoke.

Zhao Yong couldn't refuse, so he accepted it, but he distributed it to everyone without leaving a single one.

Following his colleagues from the Security Department to the Personnel Department, Wang Jianjun also asked a lot of questions about the factory along the way.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, this steel rolling mill belonged to Loubancheng. At that time, the scale of the steel rolling mill was not so large, with only a thousand people. It was called Lou's Steel Rolling Mill.

During the period of public-private partnership, Lou Bancheng took the initiative to respond to the country's call and was the first batch to cooperate in socialist transformation, and by the way, changed its name to Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

After becoming the private manager, Lou Bancheng stayed at home most of the time to avoid suspicion and rarely showed up in the factory.

Wang Jianjun also felt a little sad.

In my memory, Lou Bancheng was a very influential figure before the founding of the People's Republic of China. The reputation of this Bancheng was not exaggerated.

There was no one in the city who didn't know him, from high-ranking officials to common people.

But now we can only keep our tail between our legs in the tide of the times.

Of course, this is just Wang Jianjun's own random sigh.

This is just like how the common people in later generations who earned a few thousand yuan a month kept a low profile after lamenting that the arrogant Jack Ma was dealt with by the country.

But you don’t know that even if they are down and out, any assets they show off will be something you can never dream of in your lifetime.

The same goes for Lou Bancheng. The dividends he gets from the steel mill every year are enough to support his family for a lifetime.

I chatted all the way to the Personnel Department's office, said goodbye to my colleagues from the Security Department, and then went into the office.

The person in charge of the reception was Qi Yunshan, director of the Personnel Department.

At this moment, Qi Yunshan was looking at the materials in his hand with some curiosity.

All the materials for the transfer procedures were complete, but the two certificates issued by the hospital and the army made him feel a little strange.

The certificate said that Wang Jianjun suffered a fatal gunshot wound during an operation, and the gunshot wound to the lung left him with a hidden disease. The certificate issued by the hospital said that he was not suitable for the working environment in the factory.

There is no problem with the certificate, after all, it is stamped by the army and the military hospital.

Just looking at the vigorous and powerful Wang Jianjun in front of him, Qi Yunshan could not associate him with an injured and retired person.

If you can't figure it out, just don't think about it. As long as you have all the documents, it's fine.

Qi Yunshan then coughed and said in a serious tone:

"Comrade Wang Jianjun, there is no problem with your transfer application. Since your body is not suitable for working in the factory, we have other positions for you to choose.

In addition to technical jobs, our factory cafeteria also has positions for cooks, the security department also has vacancies, and there are warehouse managers in the logistics department and buyers in the purchasing department. You can choose any job you are interested in. "

After hearing that there was indeed a job for a buyer, Wang Jianjun felt relieved and said:

"Director Qi, if possible, I plan to work in the purchasing department."

Qi Yunshan was also a little surprised when he heard Wang Jianjun chose the job in the purchasing department.

In his opinion, since Wang Jianjun had hidden injuries, it would be best for him to work as a warehouse keeper in the Materials Department and retire there.

At worst, you can work as a cook in the canteen and get some extra income.

Only the job of a buyer is the hardest among these.

Although the job of a buyer is somewhat lucrative, it requires frequent trips to the countryside for purchases.

Moreover, buyers all have purchasing targets, and it is impossible to do this job without some connections in the countryside.

Qi Yunshan had a favorable impression of Wang Jianjun, so he couldn't help but remind him:

"Xiao Wang, do you want to reconsider this? The job of a buyer is not easy. The buyers in the factory usually travel around the countryside to meet their purchasing targets."

Wang Jianjun had already inquired about the job content of the purchasing agent on the way here, so he naturally understood what Director Qi said.

The other party's willingness to remind you is out of kindness, so Wang Jianjun naturally has to be polite.

"Director Qi, thank you for your kindness. I happen to have relatives in the countryside, and with their help, I can better complete the procurement task."

After listening to Wang Jianjun's explanation, Qi Yunshan did not doubt it.

Wang Jianjun’s position grade was immediately confirmed.

Steel mill buyers of this era were part of the administrative staff.

Considering that he had served in the army for two and a half years and had made contributions in the army.

His administrative level was set at 27, that is, a level 9 clerk, with a salary of 30 yuan.

Wang Jianjun felt a little emotional. He never expected that there would come a day when he would be employed by the government.

Wang Jianjun also knew that he was not cut out to be a leader. If nothing unexpected happened, he would probably just work as a clerk until retirement.

After finishing the work, I thanked Director Qi and went to the Purchasing Department with the approval note given by Director Qi, and then went to the Logistics and Materials Department to collect factory uniforms and labor protection items.
