Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

The steel rolling mill started operation today and became bustling again.

Lin Chan did not follow along. After all, even if she wanted to join the company, she had to let Chen Xu know first, and she probably had to attend a meeting today.

This has become an annual tradition.

As a result, the meeting was not held, and the workers were busy dealing with the snow in the morning.

The factory was covered in white. In addition, the factory was large and with so few people, it was unclear how long it would take to clean up. The factory leaders simply mobilized everyone to deal with it together.

The Publicity Department, the Purchasing Department and other small departments were merged into one to be responsible for cleaning the area near the office building.

Xu Damao was holding a shovel next to Chen Xu, and the two chatted while working.

This guy was obviously not focused on shoveling snow and kept looking into the distance.

Chen Xu raised his head and looked in the direction he was looking. The scenery over there was indeed beautiful. There were civilian staff members of the steel mill, and most of them were the most handsome people in the mill.

He saw a familiar person among them, Lou Xiao'e.

"Why is Silly Ezi here too?"

Xu Damao was speechless. Is it really okay for you to say my wife is stupid in front of me? Even if you are my brother, it is not impossible...

"Silly Ezi" sounded quite pleasant to the ear, but Xu Damao obviously didn't dare to shout it in front of Lou Xiao'e.

Thinking carefully, it seems that my wife is indeed not that smart.

But Xu Damao didn't care. Why should his wife be so smart? If there was no dumb person in the family, the family would be in chaos.

"He said he was bored at home and planned to come to the factory to work."

Chen Xu was speechless. Lou Xiao'e's current behavior was no different from those rich second-generations in his previous life who found a class to pass the time.

"In which department?"

"Broadcasting room, silly... ahem, Ezi is a high school graduate, she is fully qualified for the job."

Chen Xu nodded silently. He didn't know what Lou Xiao'e's educational background was, and he had no memory of it.

The only thing he remembered was that it was written on Qin Huairu's household registration that she graduated from junior high school, but Chen Xu suspected that this woman might have graduated from a literacy class or a high primary school.

Also, the reason why Yu Shui graduated from high school instead of technical secondary school is because technical secondary schools are very powerful nowadays and one should be assigned an administrative or technical position when entering a factory. But in fact, Yu Shui was just a worker in a textile factory after graduation.

This goes against common sense. You have to know that graduates from technical secondary schools are guaranteed jobs, and once they enter the factory they have administrative ranks, almost the same as college students.

Another thing is that Yu Haitao and Yu Shui are classmates, but it is not clear whether they were junior high school classmates or high school classmates.

The fact that Yu Haitang became a broadcaster at a steel rolling mill after graduation also proves that she must have graduated from high school, which was far from the starting standard for a technical secondary school student to work as a clerk in the factory.

In the 1960s, technical secondary school graduates were assigned jobs as cadres.

During this period, university and technical secondary school graduates, in addition to continuing their studies, were assigned as state cadres and teachers, enjoying corresponding cadre treatment and responsibilities.

Chen Xu's treatment is still not as good as that of a technical secondary school student who has just been assigned to the factory.

But he was not in a hurry. This thing itself didn't matter to him. What's more, Li Huaide clearly told him that he would be at least a fourth-level clerk this year, which was already higher than the salary for college students entering the factory.

You have to know that he has only been in the factory for about a year.

Lou Xiao'e came to the steel mill because she had nothing to do. Especially after hearing Xu Damao say that Lin Chan might join the steel mill, she immediately couldn't stay there anymore and planned to work in the factory for a while.

Chen Xu was speechless. He had only mentioned the matter of Lin Chan joining the factory when he was having dinner with Xu Damao before the New Year, and this guy sold him out directly.

The broadcasting room is also under the Propaganda Department, so it is in the same department as Xu Damao, which is not bad.

"By the way, which department do you plan to let your sister-in-law join? Our publicity department is pretty good."

Xu Damao felt that Lou Xiao'e would definitely like Lin Chan's presence, otherwise one day the silly girl might get bored of staying in the factory and not come.

"Purchasing department, same as me."

Chen Xu's answer made Xu Damao a little depressed, but he still agreed with it. Since both of them were buyers, it would be convenient for them to do their work.

"That's good. At least we don't have to be apart for a while."

Xu Damao was a little envious. He also thought that it was a pity that Lou Xiao'e would definitely not go to the movie screening with him.

The saying "strength lies in numbers" was well demonstrated at this moment. The whole factory worked together and cleared all the snow in less than one morning.

"I don't know if it will snow again, otherwise all our work today will be in vain."

Xu Damao held the shovel and looked at the sky with a worried look on his face. He was now an idle staff member, and if it snowed again, he would definitely be responsible for clearing the snow.

Chen Xu was too lazy to pay attention to this guy and stuffed the tools in his hands into his hands.

"I'm going to talk to the director about work. You can do whatever you need to do."

Xu Damao was not surprised to see Chen Xu's back. He took the tools and went to Lou Xiao'e. The work was almost done, so naturally he had to go and accompany his wife.

There was a knock on the door of the purchasing director's office.

The director had just returned not long ago. When Chen Xu was clearing the snow just now, he saw Director Chen who was also shoveling snow. However, there were so many people around that he simply waited until he was done before coming over.

"Please come in."

Director Chen, who was sitting behind his desk taking a rest, watched Chen Xu push the door open.

"Xiao Chen, come and sit down. Pour yourself some tea. I need to take a break. I haven't done any physical work for a long time. My back and waist really ache from doing it occasionally."

Chen Xu smiled and went over to pick up the kettle on the ground and poured two cups of tea.

"The director must have worked too much during the holiday."

"You kid..."

Director Chen laughed. As a man, he could understand this.

After a year of getting along, the two now speak more casually.

"Director, I need your help with something..."

Chen Xu mentioned the idea of ​​letting Lin Chan be the purchasing agent, and Director Chen was quite happy.

With Chen Xu backing him up, it was naturally impossible for Lin Chan to come here to eat for free. Moreover, considering the relationship between him and Chen Xu, it wouldn't really matter if someone really came here to eat for free.

Chen Xu almost always exceeded his targets, and no one could say anything if he gave some of his purchased materials to his wife.

"Your idea is good. You can take your wife with you. If no one was willing to go to the countryside, we should have found an experienced person to guide you for a while. I didn't expect you to make it on your own. You are really born to be a purchasing worker."

Director Chen sighed a little. He still remembered Chen Xu, who was pale and thin but still looked confident when facing him.

Looking at Chen Xu in front of him, if he hadn't watched this guy come step by step, he would probably have suspected that someone had been replaced.

Chen Xu smiled without saying anything. As long as there was room for him, he was indeed suitable for purchasing.

"Well, bring your wife here tomorrow to handle the formalities. Start as an intern and then get a permanent job after a while. This will also help shut up other people."

"Row."

Chen Xu actually didn't care. For him now, the salary and quantity were really not a big deal. He arranged for Lin Chan to work in the factory simply because he was afraid that this girl would be bored.

Siheyuan.

Lin Chan is indeed very bored now. There is no housework to do at home. She is not familiar with other people in the yard and has no interest in chatting with the aunts and young wives. Now she is sitting by the fire reading a book.

She felt a little regretful now. She should have entered the space earlier. Instead of sitting idle at home, she might as well feed the little animals in the space.

Lin Chan tilted her head slightly. She heard footsteps outside and stopped at her door, but it definitely wasn't Chen Xu. For a warrior, she could tell a lot of things by listening to footsteps. She was naturally familiar with her man.

She was very curious about who it could be, as she didn't have many acquaintances in the courtyard.

Knock, knock.

There was a knock on the door as expected, and Lin Chan stood up and went to open the door.

"Hello, sister-in-law."

"It's the rain. Come in and sit down."
