The amount is not much, but it is full of thought.

He was not the only one who did this. He knew that Instructor Liang, who fought alongside him, also secretly sent money to the homes of his fallen comrades at the end of the year.

Of course, there are more than just the two of them.

In this era, the friendship between comrades-in-arms is as deep as that between brothers, and many ordinary soldiers are also silently contributing to the best of their ability.

After returning to the steel plant, he locked himself in his office and refused to communicate with anyone.

Every time he came back from sending a package, he felt heavy-hearted.

He would sit alone in a quiet corner and recall the moments he shared with the deceased.

At this time, his tears would burst out.

Yang Jun didn't leave the office until the bell rang for the end of get off work.

First, I sent Yi Qiu Shui home, and then drove directly to Dongzhimen.

Today is the day he and his comrades get together, and Li Gangjing reminded them early through a phone call.

In fact, Yang Jun was full of anticipation for this gathering. He missed his long-lost comrades-in-arms and also intended to take the opportunity to find more allies in preparation for future work needs.

"Epilepsy, you haven't come to toast or pay respects in all these days since you came back, don't you think you have become a different person?"

"Have you forgotten how I raised you in the army?" The old comrades stood up together and surrounded Yang Jun.

Some of them patted his shoulders, some punched his chest, almost suffocating him.

"I'm sorry, brothers. It's my fault for being rude. You'll have to drink three cups as punishment later." Yang Jun clasped his hands together and apologized repeatedly.

At this time, a man with a similar build to Wu Dalang and a funny and childlike face walked in.

"Epilepsy, do you still recognize me?" he asked.

Yang Jun turned around when he heard the voice, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a big smile spread across his face, "Haha, it's Wang Datou, no...it should be Erwazi."

The guy named Wang Erwa was so angry that he rushed forward and stared at Yang Jun.

He put his arms around Yang Jun's neck, put on a serious face and said: ", epilepsy! I changed my name to Wang Dezhi. If you dare to call me by my previous nickname, I will crush your little brother. Do you believe it?" After saying that, he deliberately glared at him viciously.

Yang Jun lifted Wang Erwa's hips, brought the two of them close together, and then joked, "Would you be willing to give it up?" The comrades around them laughed at their interaction and urged them to get married quickly.

In fact, those old comrades all knew the story behind this symbolic hug - when Wang Erwa was performing a mission in the Northeast, he blocked a bullet to protect Yang Jun. The bullet grazed the latter's back and almost caused Yang Jun to be paralyzed for life. It took him eight months to recover.

Finally, he retired due to injury and returned to work in the local area.

Although Yang Jun, who traveled through time, did not experience that bloody battle, the deep comradeship between him and Wang Erwa has long been engraved in his bones.

Yang Jun chatted with his comrades for a while and returned to his seat more than ten minutes later.

"I heard that you got promoted again, that's great." Old comrade Ji Demin said with emotion, smacking his lips, with a hint of envy in his eyes.

Yang Jun took out the cigarettes he had brought and distributed them to everyone. He lit one for himself, blew out a smoke ring and said, "Brother Demin is also a powerful figure. I heard that all the things in the factory are under your control."

Ji Demin waved his hand and smiled, his eyes full of helplessness: "I can't compare with you, kid. I'm probably just like this, but you have a bright future..."

Ji Deming is considered an old leader in Yang Jun's team. He is nearly 40 years old and has achieved his current position after years of hard work.

Indeed, considering his age, the best he could get is the position of factory manager.

However, Yang Jun seemed to realize that Ji Demin's words concealed other implications.

"Demin, we are good brothers, so don't hide anything.

Just say it directly. "

Ji Demin looked around at his comrades and got their consent, knowing that it was his turn to open it.

"I heard that you are going to marry a beautiful lady after the New Year. Why don't you invite us old brothers to join you in the wedding?"

Yang Jun smoked a cigarette, squinted his eyes and asked: "Who told you this nonsense?"

"When you first came in, weren't you shouting that you were going to get married on the first day of the new year?" Ji Demin pointed at him and said, a little annoyed by the cunning smile on Yang Jun's face.

"It's strange to say, but she is such an outstanding woman." Ji Demin said regretfully, and the other comrades nodded in agreement.

Realizing that he could no longer hide it, Yang Jun simply admitted it.

"Okay, okay, you're all impatient. Just tell me if there's anything you need me to do. Don't hold it in."

Hearing Ji Demin's words, Yang Jun happily clapped his hands on the table and said, "We've been waiting for you to say this. We won't make things difficult for you. You are now the deputy director of logistics and the head of the purchasing department at the steel plant. It shouldn't be a problem to allocate some supplies, right?"

This group of old comrades are all big shots in their respective work units and usually interact with high-level people. Naturally, they could not hide such a big event as Yang Jun's promotion from them.

"Tell me, what do you want to adjust?" Yang Jun crossed his legs, looking as leisurely as a wealthy businessman.

Come on, come and kill me, he shouted silently in his heart.

Because they report directly to their superiors, the steel mills have a much higher status than the factories where they work, and the materials allocated to them are usually unplanned production surpluses.

Whenever a new order is received, the factory will produce more steel to be on the safe side. After completing the normal delivery, the excess steel will be counted as not included in the plan.

If the steel required by other factories needs to be purchased with approval documents, which are difficult to obtain, they usually have to communicate with the steel mills privately and exchange their own inventory for the steel.

Yang Jun, head of the purchasing department, once visited the warehouse in person and saw that the three full warehouses were filled with allocated materials from other manufacturers.

Ji Demin took a deep puff of his cigarette and said solemnly, "I want cotton."

Yang Jun was stunned for a moment, then pointed to Li Lixin, the director of the supply and marketing cooperative next to him and said, "If you still need cotton, who else can you go to if not Lao Li?"

Ji Demin rolled his eyes and said disdainfully: "The cotton from his supply and marketing cooperative is enough to fill my teeth, but I can't do anything about it."

Before Yang Yuan could make a statement, Li Lixin, who was sitting next to him, immediately refuted it.

"Brother Ji, if you don't like the cotton in our production team, fine, I will cancel your order from the weaving factory as soon as I get back!"

"Oh, Director Li, you can't say that. Even if it's a fly, it will be fat if you eat a bite. The more the better. Hey, the more the better." Ji Demin smiled and tried to comfort her.

Yang Jun knew that there were about 10,000 kilograms of cotton in stock, so he didn't hesitate and said, "I can transfer 13,000 kilograms to you, but there is no more."

"Well, although the quantity is not sufficient, it is enough for the time being." Ji Demin smiled happily.

In fact, there were several thousand kilograms of untouched cotton in his space. However, the help from comradeship was limited, and Yang Jun understood that he had to help within his ability.

"Brother Yang, we need twenty tons of steel bars here."

"Epilepsy, we need thirty tons of cement here."

"Also, give me 100,000 enamel cups."

In response to the needs of his old comrades, Yang Jun agreed to all of them and patiently explained the reasons.

In response, he also transferred some materials that the steel mills urgently needed to them.

---

After finishing the serious business, the old comrades began to drink to their heart's content.

Yang Jun was genuinely happy about the gathering with his old comrades. He drank without the help of time and space objects this time, but he actually drank about one kilogram.

After leaving Donglaishun, he shook hands with everyone and said goodbye.

In the end, only Wang Erwa and Yang Jun were left.

The two walked to Yang Jun's car together, smoking and chatting about random things.

During the conversation, we learned that Wang Erwa was in a bad situation. He served as the captain of the village militia in Xiaowangzhuang, west of the city, and his family of seven depended on him for their livelihood.

After learning about Wang Erwa's current situation, Yang Jun felt heartbroken. The friend who once shared life and death with him now can only live a hard life in the countryside.

He felt extremely sad.

No matter what the cost, he decided to help Wang Erwa.

With his status as a retired veteran, Wang Erwa could easily get a security job at the steel plant; and the deep affection between them could provide valuable support at critical moments.

However, at first, accepting Wang Erwa into the steel plant was for his own consideration; then, Yang Jun suddenly came up with a bold idea.

He realized that the position of security captain was too critical, so he used his connections to push Wang Erwa into this position.

"Brother Erwa, please go to the steel mill and help out.

"

"sure, no problem.

" Wang Erwa agreed without hesitation, just like he had blocked everything for Yang Jun without hesitation before.

Wang Erwa knew very well in his heart that he claimed to help him out of Yang Jun's kindness.

Because of their friendship, this arrangement did not make them feel embarrassed. This was a true expression of intimacy.

Originally, Wang Erwa's status should not have allowed him to participate in tonight's comrades-in-arms gathering, but Li Tiezhu learned that his relationship with Yang Jun was more than that of an ordinary person, so he specifically notified him.

After hesitating for a long time, he decided to attend the banquet.

That night, Wang Erwa did not return to his home, but stayed in a hotel in the city and did not return until the next day.

……

Early in the morning, while driving to the steel plant, Tiezhu handed Yang Jun an application form.

Seeing the crooked words, Yang Jun did not criticize them and put them directly into his pocket, thinking that it was drafted by Ran Qiuye and copied by Tiezhu.

However, the actual role of the application is minimal; the key lies in other things.

Yan Jiecheng, who was in the same car, looked at Tiezhu with envy with his eyes wide open. In just two days, Tiezhu had been promoted to deputy manager of the canteen.

As we all know, becoming a regular employee is like a chasm for some people.

Some people may work hard all their lives but still cannot reach such a position, but Tiezhu was promoted from chef to deputy chef just by helping Yang Jun cook for a few days.

Seeing this, Yan Jiecheng could no longer sit still. He tried several times to ask Yang Jun for a promotion, but was interrupted by Tiezhu every time with other topics.

Yang Jun had thought about promoting Yan Jiecheng, but he gave up in the end.

Considering that Yan Jiecheng is scheming and is manipulated by his girlfriend Yu Li, his character is similar to that of the third uncle and he will betray, Yang Jun is unwilling to bear the consequences of "Dongguo's kindness" and therefore rejected his request.

As soon as they arrived at the steel plant, Yang Jun took Tiezhu directly to the Human Resources Department.

"Sister Cai, thank you for your help.

"

"You're welcome. There's no need to be so restrained between us siblings.

"

After helping Tiezhu complete the formalities, Sister Cai personally sent them out.

Since Yang Jun became the deputy head of the logistics department, Sister Cai has become more enthusiastic towards him, and she does it personally whenever she has to deal with his matters.

Looking at Yang Jun's back, Sister Cai had a lot of thoughts in her mind.

She watched him enter the steel mill and climb up the career ladder, becoming deputy director in just one month.

Even though Yang Jun is currently at the deputy director level, after witnessing many behind-the-scenes operations, no one can deny that he will sooner or later become the director of the Logistics Department, a position that is almost unshakable.

Since Yang Jun joined the factory, the factory director Yang Zhijian seemed to have vowed to support him. For example, in the meetings to promote him to the position of deputy director of logistics, he always stood by Yang Jun despite all kinds of opposition.

It is true that Li Huaide has a solid foundation. The real person in power is Yang Jianguo, but this person does not care much about daily affairs and chooses to turn a blind eye.

Now, Yang Jianguo is still the backbone of the steel plant. As long as Wang Jianguo decides to fight against Li Huaide, the other two will not have the strength to challenge him.

Perhaps it is precisely because of Yang Jun's existence that the story develops differently. The original "workaholic" factory director begins to focus more on the work within the factory and pays increasing attention to personnel matters.

Yang Jun had just returned to the office and sat down to drink some water, and before the water had cooled down, Uncle Wei hurried over.

"Director, there are a lot of people from other factories outside, saying they are here to allocate supplies to our factory."

Since Yang Jun was promoted to deputy director, Lao Wei started to call him director without adding the word "deputy".

Yang Jun did not correct it because he understood that this was purely human nature.

Once you have power, you will naturally be respected by people. Who would be stupid enough to add the word "deputy" in front of the position to show the difference?

"Director, these dozen trucks are carrying the materials that the factory urgently needs.

It seems that we don’t have to go through the trouble of shopping after the New Year, which is really great.

“Old Wei’s face was filled with joy, as if a promotion was more than that.

In Yang Jun's mind, these supplies might have been urgently allocated by his old comrade-in-arms last night, and he came to request the allocation early in the morning.
