Travel back to the 1970s and start as a female textile worker

The next day, the news that Gu Chun was admitted to the Propaganda Department was posted on the bulletin board.

Huang Xiuxiu ran into the workshop very excitedly early in the morning: "Chun'er, did you see it? You passed the exam! I knew you could do it. You are great."

She was really happy for Gu Chun. She felt that Gu Chun usually spoke in a cultured manner, and it was said that his academic performance was very good. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't take the college entrance examination, she would definitely be able to go to university. Staying in this workshop would be too unqualified.

"I saw it. Team leader Li just informed me that I will report to the Propaganda Department in the afternoon." Gu Chun said to her with a smile.

"That's great, but I can't work with you in the future." She said but felt a little disappointed, finally making a friend in this factory.

"It's okay, we can still go to the cafeteria to eat together? And our two families are not far apart, so we can still go shopping together when we have time."

For Gu Chun, it was rare to have a good friend in this life, and she didn't want to be alienated like this.

"Well, let's go shopping together next time during the vacation."

"Okay."

In the afternoon, Gu Chun reported to the Propaganda Department. The office building is behind the workshop. It is a three-story building with several offices on the first floor.

This is where Gu Chun went to the factory director's office and took the exam.

The Propaganda Department is at the end of the second floor. The door is open. Several colleagues are sitting inside, and the paperwork is neatly placed on the table.

Gu Chun knocked on the door and said hello: "Hello, I'm Gu Chun. It's my first day to report to the Propaganda Department."

A lesbian saw her and said quickly: "Are you the one who came first in the exam? Come in, I will help you find the director."

She found a place for Gu Chun to sit down, knocked on the door and went to the suite inside, and came out after a while.

"Gu Chun, go in, Director Fang asked you to fill in the formalities."

"Okay, thank you." Gu Chun thanked the other party with a smile and walked into the director's office.

The office of the Director of the Propaganda Department is not very spacious. There is a table, a coffee table for guests, and the rest are piles of paperwork and materials.

When I opened the door, I saw a familiar man sitting in front of the table. He was the "male star" that day.

"Comrade Gu Chun, you are here. Let me introduce myself. My name is Fang Cheng. I am the director of the Propaganda Department. We met during the interview that day."

Gu Chun shook hands with him and said, "Hello, Director Fang, I am Gu Chun."

"The reason why I asked you to report immediately today is because there will be a task assigned to you later. Now you fill out the formalities first. I have already told the factory that I will give you the salary to open an office this month."

It's the 10th now. Gu Chun's original salary in the workshop was 25 yuan a month, and her office salary was 35.5. This gave her an office salary that was directly increased by 10.5. In this era, ten yuan is a farmer's income for most of the year. Gu Chun was very grateful.

"Thank you, Director Fang."

"You don't need to thank me, you should. I think you have good painting skills. Where did you learn it?"

Gu Chun had already thought about the answer to this question, "I'm self-taught. I was interested in drawing before at school. I asked the teacher and practiced by myself when I had nothing to do. I also drew blackboard papers in the class."

The original owner did often draw blackboard newspapers and had a certain talent for painting. However, the things that could be learned in this era were limited, so she was not as skillful as Gu Chun. There was a high probability that her explanation would not be seen through.

"Then you are quite talented. You need to use your strengths. The factory will recently draw a new poster. Colleagues have already written the articles in it, and now only the drawings are left to be done. This The task will be left to you and Comrade Xu Lan, you can discuss it."

"Okay Director Fang, when will this poster be painted?"

"Before October 1st, ours was a National Day poster, so the content had to fit the theme and be linked to our textile factory."

After hearing this, Gu Chun had a rough idea in her mind, but because she had a companion to complete the task with, communication was necessary. She had to know what the other person was thinking first.

"Okay, then Director Fang, who is Comrade Xu Lan?"

Director Fang glanced at her thoughtfully and shouted loudly: "Xu Lan, come in."

"Here we come!" came a female voice, and then a woman who looked young walked in. She looked a little cautious when she stepped forward, with a bit of arrogance in her expression. When she walked in, she looked like a transparent person to Gu Chun. Not a glance.

"Director, what are you calling me for?"

"Xu Lan, this is the helper I have found for you. I will work with you to complete the task of posting the National Day poster."

"Director, where did this little girl come from? Can she draw? This task is not that easy. Don't let her mess it up."

Although Xu Lan didn't know how to do serious work, she was easily invited to take credit and reward. She originally planned to get involved in this matter and let others do the painting, and then the credit would be hers.

But you can't find someone like her who can't do anything by coming in through the back door. If the task isn't completed, you'll be in trouble.

"Don't worry, she's very talented at painting, unlike some people who paint like shit." Director Fang rolled his eyes at her if he had something to say.

"You, you, okay, as long as you can draw, I want to see how beautiful you can draw." Xu Lan heard what he meant, gritted her teeth and left angrily.

Gu Chun stood there and watched the show for a while. The two of them seemed to be having trouble dealing with each other. Xu Lan could still stay here after being so rude. I guess the backstage was very tough and not easy to mess with. Director Fang was very considerate of the other person in person, and he didn't seem to have a very good temper.

The Propaganda Department has a lot to do in a small propaganda department, and Gu Chun feels that the days to come will be more fun.

"Director Fang, I'm going out then. I have some ideas for this bulletin board. I'll draw a draft for you to see." Gu Chun saw Xu Lan going out and didn't even have time to introduce each other, so he became angry. You'd better hide away quickly.

"Okay, go ahead. Make a sketch as soon as possible and show it to me."

Gu Chun walked out of the office, and the female colleague who had just invited her in came over.

"Gu Chunlai, let me show you where you are."

She was arranged by the window, opposite Xu Lan's seat. Others were working hard, but she was drinking tea there as if she were at home.

"Gu Chun, just sit here. This pen and paper is for you. If you use it up and still need it, you can go to the logistics department to get it yourself."

"Okay, thank you, I don't know what your name is yet."

This colleague looks to be several years older than her, tall and pretty, and seems to be very kind to others.

"My name is Zhao Yuan, you can also call me Sister Yuanyuan. I'm twenty-one, so I should be a little older than you."

"Okay Sister Yuanyuan, I happen to be eighteen this year." Oh, a 25-year-old aunt said she was eighteen, and she felt a little embarrassed.

"I just said, you look really young and you are good-looking. Do you have a partner?" This is probably a characteristic of this era. It is possible to ask an eighteen-year-old girl if she has a partner.

"Sister Yuanyuan is also very pretty. I don't have a partner. Where are you, Sister Yuanyuan?"

There was a slight blush on Zhao Yuan's face, "I have a partner. I will do things in two months. Come and have a wedding drink then."

"Okay, I will definitely go when the time comes."

Seeing that they were chatting happily, Xu Lan looked down on them and walked out with a sneer.

Zhao Yuan said a little embarrassedly: "Don't mind, she is like this, no one can look down on her."

"Sister Yuanyuan, what is her status? She seems to be very noble."

Zhao Yuan said mysteriously: "She originally had no identity, she just married the son of the Chairman of the Revolutionary Committee, and now she has ascended to heaven."

Seeing that they were talking about Xu Lan, another male colleague also squeezed over and said, "I heard that she just graduated from elementary school, doesn't know a few words, and can't draw anything. I don't know what she thinks. Send her to our place, I think Director Fang is very dissatisfied with her."

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. Hello, Comrade Gu Chun. My name is Tian Ye. I am responsible for writing the blackboard newspaper."

"Hello, Comrade Tian Ye." Gu Chun did not forget to say hello to him while listening to the gossip, and asked him to continue.

"Director Fang, I have reported this problem to the superiors several times. In the end, I really had no choice but to apply to recruit one more person to fill the vacancy, so as not to open up a skylight on the mission."

It turned out that this was the reason why Gu Chun got this opportunity. She had to thank Xu Lan for being an idiot, otherwise there would be no place for her.

"What are you talking about, chatting here during work hours?" Director Fang suddenly came out to warn them, obviously knowing that they were gossiping about him.

Gu Chun and the other three quickly dispersed, each doing his or her own thing.
