Countercurrent 1978 starts with the production team

The big iron door of Hongguang Printing Factory is open. There is a wooden sign hanging next to it with the name of the factory written on it. There is a side room next to the big iron door.

As soon as Chu Jianghe pushed his bicycle into the area of ​​the big iron gate, he heard someone calling for registration.

Following the shouting, a gray head poked out through a crack in the door of the penthouse.

The old gatekeeper looked Chu Jianghe up and down and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Chu Jianghe came here for business and said sincerely: "Hello, uncle, I am from Beijing University. I came to your printing factory to see Director Li. I have something to discuss."

When Chu Jianghe said the name of Peking University, the old gatekeeper's expression softened. It seemed that the name of Peking University was quite useful.

"Comrade, please come and register first."

"Ok."

Chu Jianghe checked in according to the rules, and the old man at the gate showed him the way.

"When you enter the office building, turn left on the second floor and walk to the end where you will find the factory director's office."

Chu Jianghe thanked him and pushed his bicycle through the gate of Hongguang Printing Factory.

It was only after I entered the gate that I saw it clearly. It was said to be a printing factory, but in fact it was small and pitiful. It had a small courtyard, which was a two-story building that looked quite impressive. There was a warehouse-like building not far away. It's the printing workshop of their printing factory.

It's still past ten in the morning, and several young workers who look like workers are sitting lazily at the door of the workshop, basking in the sun, with a lot of cigarette butts scattered at their feet.

Many state-owned enterprises are not living well enough themselves, and they also engage in tertiary industries, many of which are for the purpose of resettling related households. The benefits of these industries can be imagined.

Chu Jianghe took one look and entered the office building. The office building was deserted and there were not many people there.

On the way here, Chu Jianghe held back his urine and wanted to find a toilet on the first floor to drain the water.

When passing by an office, a door was ajar, and the sound of voices coming from inside caught his attention.

"What about college students? They are still assigned to be the director of a factory in a place like ours where nothing matters."

Are they talking about Factory Director Li?

It seems that the situation of Factory Director Li introduced to him by Reporter Xu is not very good.

"Keep your voice down, don't let others hear you."

"What are you afraid of? There are only a few of us in this office building. Not many outsiders come here all day long. So what if we hear about it."

But this time the voice was obviously a little quieter, and after a while someone spoke again.

"But I heard that Director Li is quite capable at the main factory. Why was he assigned to us?"

"Yes, I also heard that Factory Director Li is very capable and is often praised."

"So what if you're capable? No matter how capable you are, if you don't like the leader, you're still assigned."

"I heard others say that Director Li blocked other people's way at the main factory, and they wanted him to make room for his position."

……

Inadvertently, he heard from the corner that Chu Jianghe couldn't go to the toilet on this floor anymore, so he quietly went up to the second floor while others didn't notice him.

Since turning left is the factory director's office, there must be a toilet when you turn right. The factory director's office must not be next to the toilet.

While Chu Jianghe was draining the water, he also lamented that a small printing factory only takes a small space, but there are many doors in it. It seems that office politics exists everywhere.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. It is indeed true.

After draining the water, Chu Jianghe came to the door of the factory director's office and knocked on the door.

After a while, a strong voice came from the house.

"Please come in."

Chu Jianghe opened the door. A 27-year-old young man was sitting behind the desk, looking at himself. There was a newspaper in front of him, and the cup next to him was still steaming. It seemed that Director Li was living a good life. It must be quite leisurely.

"you are?"

Seeing Director Li ask, Chu Jianghe quickly replied: "You must be Director Li. My name is Chu Jianghe. I am a student of Beijing University. I have some business to discuss with you this time."

Factory Director Li didn't react at first and looked confused. Talking about business? Just go to the people below. Why go directly to yourself, the factory director?

Then I thought of Chu Jiang He Jing's identity as a college student, and then I suddenly realized something. I saw him smiling kindly, standing up and saying hello.

"Oh, it turns out I'm a student from Beijing University. Welcome, please take a seat."

Chu Jianghe shook hands with Director Li politely and sat down on the sofa in the office.

"The conditions are simple and there is nothing to entertain you. Please forgive me."

"It's okay, you're welcome."

After Chu Jianghe sat down, Director Li didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at Chu Jianghe with a playful expression.

Chu Jianghe didn't know the situation, so he directly explained the purpose of his visit: "Director Li, I'm here this time because I want to ask your factory to print a batch of learning materials."

"Well, do you have a sample?"

"Yes." Chu Jianghe took out a manuscript from his bag and handed it to Director Li. This was a manuscript for a mathematics subject that several students in their dormitory worked together on. "We are all students. I don’t know the printing process, how to format and print it specifically, I still need to rely on the professionals in your factory to check it.”

Director Li nodded indifferently, then picked up the manuscript and read it.

Director Li is also a college student and has real materials, so he can naturally understand these things.

Looking at Factory Director Li, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened, and at the same time secretly shouted "Hello" in his heart.

What a great idea. I can think of summarizing the subject of mathematics and illustrating it with some examples. This is a great idea!

The content is well-written and covers many test points.

Director Li looked at it for a while, with a look of appreciation on his face, and clapped the manuscript in his hand: "Yes, if this thing is given to college entrance examination candidates, they will avoid a lot of detours during review. The idea is very good, all of these are your thoughts?"

Chu Jianghe smiled modestly: "It's my idea, but this thing was created by me and a few classmates."

Director Li really admired him and smiled kindly: "Being able to put forward ideas and implement them according to your own ideas is much better than most people, and you don't have to be modest. "

Chu Jianghe felt a little ashamed. This idea was not his own, it could be considered plagiarism: "Director Li..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Director Li: "Don't be so polite. You are Xiaoyan's friend. I am older than you. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Li."

No wonder Director Li is so kind to me. It turns out that the roots are still with Reporter Xu. I originally thought that Director Li saw me as a student of Peking University, and then saw the sample and simply admired me. It seems that I wanted to too much.

Seeing that Factory Director Li wanted to get closer, Chu Jianghe still wanted to beg him, so he couldn't refuse, so he tried to test: "Brother Li, you and Reporter Xu are..."

Hearing Chu Jianghe's name, Factory Director Li smiled again. He saw that this young man was quite handsome just now. Xu Chunyan was once again asking for help from him. She thought he and Xu Chunyan were talking about a date. It seemed that the two of them hadn't revealed it yet. That layer of window paper.

Director Li did not dwell on this question and answered happily: "Xiao Yan'er and I grew up in the same courtyard. We are neighbors and can be considered brothers and sisters."

Chu Jianghe understood in his heart that they were from the same compound. They grew up together, and their relationship was no worse than that of biological brothers and sisters.

Considering that Xu Chunyan entered People's Daily at a young age, it is not surprising.

It's just strange. Logically speaking, given Director Li's identity and background, how could he be assigned to this small printing factory?
