Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Su Zihui said, "They have been like this since they were young. Let's not get involved in their affairs. But my second brother said something that is very true. My parents still have to rely on my second brother for their retirement. My eldest brother is not reliable."

Yan Jiekuang said: "Even if they are all unreliable, don't we still have us?!"

Su Zihui said: "You are still reliable."

Yan Jiekuang joked: "If I were unreliable, could you have blackmailed me?!"

Su Zihui shyly twisted Yan Jiekuang's waist and said, "You only know how to bully me!"

"You are my wife, if I don't bully you, who else can I bully?!" After saying that, Yan Jiekuang pushed Su Zihui down on the bed.

At eight o'clock the next morning, Yan Jiekuang appeared at the gate of the Sijiucheng Heavy Machine Tool Factory.

"Comrade, who are you looking for?!" Yan Jiekuang was about to enter the factory when he was stopped by the security personnel at the gate.

Yan Jiekuang took out the certificate issued by the subdistrict office and said, "Comrade, I am here to report. This is the certificate issued by the subdistrict office."

The security officer took the certificate, looked at it, and said, "Go straight ahead. There is a five-story building. Go to the second floor. That's the personnel department."

"Thank you, comrade!" Yan Jiekuang took the certificate and walked towards the factory.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Yan Jiekuang arrived in front of a five-story house. Just as Yan Jiekuang was about to go in, he was stopped by the old man guarding the door: "Comrade, what can I do for you?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "Uncle, I'm here to report." Then Yan Jiekuang took out the certificate issued by the street office from his bag and handed it to the old man, muttering to himself, "The steel rolling mill doesn't have this kind of rules. I didn't expect that there would be a security guard under the office building of the heavy machine tool factory?!"

The old man took the certificate, looked at it, and gave it back to Yan Jiekuang, saying, "Go up! Turn left on the second floor to the Personnel Department. Don't go to the wrong place!"

"Hey!" Yan Jiekuang took the certificate and walked straight in.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!" Arriving at the door of the Personnel Department, Yan Jiekuang stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Not long after, a middle-aged woman's voice was heard from inside. Yan Jiekuang pushed the door and walked into the Personnel Department, saying, "Comrade, I'm here to report."

A female comrade with two ponytails walked up to Yan Jiekuang and asked, "Did you bring your employment certificate, medical examination report, one two-inch and two one-inch bareheaded photos?!"

Yan Jiekuang immediately took out the certificate issued by the street office, the medical examination report and three photos from his bag and handed them over. The female comrade took the three things, looked at them and said, "Wait!" Then the female comrade walked to her desk, took out a form, pasted a two-inch photo on it, and then handed the form to Yan Jiekuang, saying, "Call me when you're done."

"Oh!" Yan Jiekuang responded, took out a pen, and started writing quickly.

After about five or six minutes, Yan Jiekuang finished filling out the form. After carefully checking it to make sure there were no problems, Yan Jiekuang shouted, "Comrade, I have filled it out."

The female comrade walked up to Yan Jiekuang, took the form, looked at it, and said, "Wait!" Then the female comrade took the form and left. About half an hour later, the female comrade walked up to Yan Jiekuang and said, "This is your work permit, keep it!"

Yan Jiekuang took the work permit, looked at it, and put it in his coat pocket. The female comrade then said, "Come with me!" After that, the female comrade walked out of the office.

About 20 minutes later, the female comrade brought Yan Jiekuang to the office of the logistics department. The people who were chatting in the office saw the female comrade and greeted her with a smile: "Xiao Liu, why are you here?!"

The female comrade asked, "Is your section chief here?!"

"The section chief is in the office!"

"Thank you!" The female comrade smiled and replied, and took Yan Jiekuang to the section chief's office not far away. When they reached the door of the office, the female comrade reminded him, "The section chief of the logistics department is named Fu, so be careful when you go in." Then the female comrade reached out and knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Not long after, the voice of a middle-aged man was heard in the office.

The female comrade pushed the door open and walked into the office. When Section Chief Fu saw the person coming, he smiled and asked, "Xiao Liu, how come you have time to come here today?!"

The female comrade replied, "Section Chief, I'm here to bring someone to you. The person next to me is Yan Jiekuang, a new purchaser in your logistics department. I've brought the person here, and I'm leaving now!"

"Okay!" Section Chief Fu watched the female comrade leave, looked at Yan Jiekuang, and asked, "Are you the educated youth who just came back?!"

Yan Jiekuang nodded and replied, "Yes!"

Section Chief Fu sighed and said, "It's not easy for all of you." Then Section Chief Fu picked up the intercom on the table and said, "Zhang Jinshan, come to my office." After that, Section Chief Fu hung up the phone, looked at Yan Jiekuang, and asked, "Where did you cut in line?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "Northeast China."

Section Chief Fu nodded and was about to say something when there was a knock on the door. Section Chief Fu called out, "Come in."

Zhang Jinshan pushed the door open and walked into the office, asking, "Section Chief, you're looking for me?!"

"Yes!" Chief Fu responded and said, "His name is Yan Jiekuang, and he is a newcomer to your purchasing department. You can take him away!"

"Yes!" Zhang Jinshan responded and said, "Section Chief, let's go!"

Yan Jiekuang hurriedly said, "Goodbye, Section Chief!"

Walking out of the office, Zhang Jinshan said, "My name is Zhang Jinshan. I am a team leader of the Purchasing Group of the Logistics Department. Our factory has a Purchasing Department, but they are responsible for purchasing things within the plan. We are responsible for things outside the plan. There are three groups in the entire Logistics Department responsible for purchasing unplanned materials. Our group one is responsible for purchasing unplanned non-staple food. Group two is responsible for purchasing unplanned parts. Group three is responsible for purchasing unplanned labor protection supplies and other daily necessities. Although our three groups are divided into very detailed groups, if you can get the scarce parts needed by the factory or the things that Group Three is responsible for, you can still get the job done. It's just that the points can only be counted as two-thirds."

"Points?!" Yan Jiekuang was stunned and asked, "Team Leader, what are the points used for?!"

Zhang Jinshan replied: "It is used to evaluate professional titles. You have just come in and are an apprentice. According to regulations, it takes three years for an apprentice to graduate. Purchasing items worth more than ten yuan counts as one point. When your purchasing points reach 500 points, you can graduate early."

Not long after, Zhang Jinshan took Yan Jiekuang into their group's office. Looking at the empty office, Zhang Jinshan sighed and said, "They are all out shopping. In order to meet the task recently, our factory has consumed a lot of non-staple food. So our group is under a lot of pressure." Then Zhang Jinshan walked to his desk, opened the drawer, took out a detailed list from it and handed it to Yan Jiekuang, saying, "This is the price list for our purchases. The prices of the items on it are adjusted every six months." Then Zhang Jinshan took out a stack of letters of introduction, tore off a few of them, filled in Yan Jiekuang's name on them, and handed them to Yan Jiekuang, saying, "Take these letters of introduction first, they may be useful when you go out to purchase things. I will take you to get the work clothes and the tricycles we purchased and the reserve funds." After that, Zhang Jinshan took Yan Jiekuang out of the office.

When he reached the door of the office, Zhang Jinshan suddenly thought of something, stopped, pointed to the empty seat by the window in the office, and said, "Xiao Yan, that desk over there will be yours from now on."

"Got it!" Yan Jiekuang responded and left with Zhang Jinshan.
