Reborn in 1977

After leaving the cemetery, Chen Fan originally wanted to say goodbye to Factory Director Yang directly, but he didn't even have the chance to speak before being pulled into the car by him.

On the way back, Factory Director Yang said solemnly, "I know your current job is in the Health Department, and you are also a deputy section chief, a proper cadre, but Uncle Yang has a few words he wants to say to you."

Chen Fan turned slightly, at least with a sincere attitude, "Please speak."

Factory Director Yang turned to look at him, "Whether it was ten years ago, the previous ten years, or even now and in the future, no matter what, even if there are some bumps in the middle, production and construction are the top priorities of our country's development.

In comparison, no matter how much importance is attached to health undertakings, they must be ranked behind production. You must be clear about this."

Chen Fan's mouth twitched slightly, a wry smile appearing in his eyes, and he nodded lightly, "I understand this."

It is correct to take class as the key, but even Lao Qing back then attached great importance to the development of national defense technology and production and construction. The most stable aspects of society were also the army and factories. Old Yang's words are indeed without any fault.

Of course, it was only relatively stable, otherwise there would not have been the matters of Chen Fan's parents and the Jiang family.

Factory Director Yang smiled with satisfaction and continued, "I also know how you got the position of deputy section chief in the Health Department. To put it bluntly, you are more important to the Health Department than the Health Department is to you.

But, that's all.

As long as you continue to stay in the Health Department, your future can basically be foreseen. First of all, you have no foundation there, and there is no one you can truly rely on. Secondly, your professional level is just there. That Yunhu First Aid Method is your last trump card, right?!

After you take out your trump card, your trump card will become someone else's open card. Giving you a deputy section chief treatment is already the result of them needing you to put on a show. Otherwise, they would just give you an ordinary clerk position, and there would be no need for a cadre at all."

Chen Fan smiled on his face, but he didn't think so in his heart.

What is the situation now?

Society has suffered heavy losses, and all walks of life are in urgent need of development. Almost all units are eager for talents.

Unless you are the kind who is willing to be PPT'd, as long as you have the ability, you are not afraid of not being able to stand out. If this unit does not value you, there are countless units outside waiting to grab people.

If the Health Department hadn't rushed to pull Chen Fan into the unit, when the leaders of the Provincial Health Department came to inspect, they might have directly transferred him to the Provincial Health Department.

Although it might only be a deputy section chief treatment, the loss would definitely be borne by the Prefectural Committee Health Department. All the efforts they had made before, not to say would be in vain, but being criticized would definitely be unavoidable, and in serious cases, it would even affect their future.

Not to mention anything else, if someone wanted to oppose them, a hat of not valuing talents would be put on them, and they would not be able to defend themselves.

Even without the Provincial Health Department, there are still health units in other regions or even other provinces. Don't underestimate the importance attached to "positive celebrities" in this era.

Many people have been promoted from ordinary people to senior cadre positions overnight because of a certain innovation. They are living examples.

So Chen Fan and Sister Zhou made a deal. Chen Fan certainly occupied a cadre position, received a high salary, and didn't do any work, but it's really hard to say who is taking advantage.

Of course, Factory Director Yang's words cannot be said to be wrong either, and they are actually very reasonable.

It's just that it doesn't combine external factors, which seems a bit alarmist.

Not to mention anything else, as long as Chen Fan reveals a bit of his intentions, whether it is the Prefectural Committee Daily, or the "Jiangnan Literature and Art" magazine, or so many provincial journals across the country, or even the health systems across the country, they would be happy to transfer him over, and even promote him three levels on the spot.

Factory Director Yang's words can only scare ignorant little kids, how can they scare him!

Seeing that Chen Fan didn't speak, Factory Director Yang continued, "If you can come to work at the Machinery Factory, the situation will be very different. First of all, you have the most solid foundation in the Machinery Factory. The connections left by your parents are enough to allow you to be unimpeded here, ensuring that no one dares to make things difficult for you."

Chen Fan pursed his lips and smiled. Now no one in the Health Department dares to make things difficult for me either.

Factory Director Yang continued without stopping, "Secondly, with your current level, you will be a deputy director of a department when you come over. As long as you obtain a certain degree, you can still be promoted further. I also said just now that production units are completely different from health systems. You come to the Machinery Factory…"

De bo de bo de bo, from the cemetery all the way back to the Machinery Factory, Factory Director Yang's mouth never stopped.

Among them, the core point is only one, to let Chen Fan come to work at the Machinery Factory. The future is absolutely limitless, at least a hundred times better than him messing around in the Health Department.

But, I just want to mess around!

Chen Fan muttered silently in his heart, and waited until Factory Director Yang took a breath, then he seized the opportunity to say, "Factory Director Yang…"

He had just started when Factory Director Yang's face turned stern, "Call me Uncle Yang."

"Cough cough."

Chen Fan looked a little embarrassed, and then chose to follow his advice, "Uncle Yang, thank you for your kindness, but I really don't have any ambition. Lujiawan is quite suitable for me. The Health Department is actually just a nominal position. The current state is very good. I am the special commissioner of the Health Department, and I continue to work in Lujiawan. The production team is also very good to me. I am very satisfied with my current life."

Factory Director Yang immediately pointed at him with disappointment, "You, you, why don't you have any ambition? If your parents were still alive, seeing you like this, they would definitely urge you,…"

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Fan showed a wry smile, turned to look out the window, and said softly, "If they were still alive, they would probably want me to live well, rather than let me climb up."

Saying that, he exhaled a long breath, "The higher the position, the greater the storm."

Hearing this, Factory Director Yang was immediately speechless.

If someone else said this, it would definitely be not thinking of making progress, but the example of Chen Fan's parents is right in front of him, and most other people would probably have lingering fears.

It is also very understandable that Chen Fan has this choice.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh faintly, no longer talking about this, but instead pushed the door and got out of the car.

When Chen Fan and the others came down, he looked at Zhang Wenliang and An Quan and the others, and smiled, "Thank you for accompanying Xiao Fan to pay respects. I will host lunch today, and we will have a simple meal in the factory cafeteria."

Chen Fan took two steps forward and pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Uncle Yang, in fact, besides accompanying me to pay respects today, they also have some official business."

Factory Director Yang was slightly stunned, his eyes swept over everyone, and he quickly ignored the 7 girls next to him, looked at An Quan and Zhang Wenliang with embarrassed smiles, and then asked, "If there is anything you need help with, just say it."

Anquan, being more experienced, quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "It's like this, Director Yang. I was here a few days ago to purchase a fodder machine for the Lujiawan Production Team."

Hearing this, Director Yang suddenly understood, "Oh, that's what it was about. Easy, easy."

After a pause, he asked, "Is one enough?"

Anquan was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but turn his gaze towards Chen Fan.

Chen Fan subtly rolled his eyes and held up two fingers.

Anquan quickly said, "If we could buy two, that would be even better!"

Although his movement was small, it was completely noticed by Director Yang.

Seeing this, Director Yang couldn't help but have other thoughts.

A锥子 will always reveal itself. Old Chen's son, even in a small production team, can achieve excellent results.

And now it seems that he can even make decisions for Lujiawan, which is even more remarkable!

After a short contemplation, Director Yang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll make a special approval for two machines for you."

He turned to his driver, "Xiao Zhao, go and inform Section Chief Wang of the Sales Department to reserve two fodder machines for the Lujiawan Production Team. The price will be the original price, and allow them to make the purchase on credit."

Then he looked at Anquan again, "I'll write you a note later, and you can take it to the Sales Department to pick up the goods."

Anquan's eyes lit up immediately, "Thank you, Director! Thank you, thank you!"

Oh, I didn't expect it to be solved so easily, and on credit too.

Although Lujiawan has money and doesn't need to buy on credit, this is a big deal. In the future, when we need to purchase things from the machinery factory, Lujiawan can directly contact the Sales Department without going through Director Yang, and still get great convenience. This is the biggest gain today!

At this time, the chairman of the labor union, who had accompanied them to the memorial service, also came over and said with a smile, "Lao Yang, Lao Li and the others are already waiting in the cafeteria. Why don't we go over first?"

Director Yang nodded and smiled at Chen Fan, "The people you'll be meeting later are some of the factory's leaders. They all had a good relationship with your father back then. Hearing that you were coming, they specially made time to have a meal with you."

Chen Fan chuckled, "That's really troubling."

If, as Director Yang said, Chen's father was a technical fanatic, then there should be basically no good relationship with the leaders, except for his direct supervisor, let alone several of them.

But he didn't take it seriously.

So-called personal connections are formed in this way. As long as there is a reason, meeting together, having a drink, and getting to know each other is valuable to everyone. Unless they really can't get along, otherwise, they will give you some face in the future.

Wouldn't this expand your network?

The group followed Director Yang and the chairman of the labor union forward. Director Yang introduced along the way, "The machinery factory has several cafeterias. The largest one is in the middle of the workshop, with a separate factory building as a cafeteria. In addition, there are also a few smaller cafeterias in the areas that are solely responsible for a certain type of product.

We are now going to the administrative cafeteria, which is behind the administrative building. Don't underestimate it just because it's a cafeteria. The food inside is quite good. You'll know once you try it later."

Chen Fan listened all the way without saying much.

The cafeteria was very close to the administrative building, just behind the building, separated by a small garden, and only the size of a classroom.

It wasn't time for get off work yet, and the hall was empty, but there were voices coming from the small room next to it.

When they got to the front, Secretary Yang smiled at Anquan and the others, "Sorry, the reception room here can only accommodate one table. I've asked someone to set up a separate table for you next door..."

Before he could finish speaking, Anquan quickly waved his hand and smiled, "It's okay, it's okay. You go ahead and do your work. We'll just eat by ourselves."

The others had no objection. On the contrary, they felt a little uncomfortable eating with the factory leaders.

After arranging them, Director Yang took Chen Fan into the innermost private room.

There were already four people sitting in the private room. Director Yang introduced them one by one, "This is Deputy Director Li, who is in charge of logistics. He is the one who is taking care of your family's house. I'll take you there later and transfer the ownership of the house to you."

Chen Fan was stunned.

There's also a house?

Before he could recover, Deputy Director Li had already reached out his hand and said with emotion, "In the blink of an eye, you've grown so big. If your parents could see it, how wonderful would that be!"

Chen Fan pursed his lips and could only shake his hand emotionally, "Thank you, Deputy Director Li."

Deputy Director Li's expression also changed, "Call me Uncle Li."

Chen Fan's mouth twitched slightly, "Uncle Li."

Director Yang continued to introduce, "This is Secretary Zhang of the Communist Youth League Committee, this is Director Qian of the Women's Federation, and this is Section Chief Sun of the Finance Section."

Party, Labor Union, Communist Youth League, Women's Federation, and there was also a high-ranking Revolutionary Committee. Director Yang was the director of the committee, the secretary, and the factory director. With these people present, the main leadership team of the machinery factory was all here.

It must be said that it was indeed very grand!

Compared to Director Yang and Deputy Director Li, these people were much more normal and greeted Chen Fan very politely.

It seemed that the factors of Chen Fan's parents only accounted for a small part, and his own identity had become the main reason.

That's right. In the 1990s, when some writers visited enterprises, the entire leadership team would personally accompany them. Not to mention now.

That is, Chen Fan's identity has not been exposed. If people knew that he had published articles in more than a dozen provincial journals across the country, and they were very popular articles, I am afraid that not only the machinery factory, but even the regional leaders would come forward.

After the introductions were over, and after some polite gestures, Director Yang finally took the seat of honor, and Chen Fan, as the only guest, naturally sat in the guest of honor seat, on Director Yang's left hand side.

Only then did the others take their seats.

Before the dinner started, Section Chief Sun of the Finance Section took out a thick stack of paper packages wrapped in newspaper from his bag. After unwrapping them, there were seven stacks of cash.

Six stacks were brand new "Great Unity" bills, and the last stack had some loose bills.

Before Chen Fan could speak, Section Chief Sun put the money in front of Chen Fan and said sternly, "Xiao Fan, this is the back pay, bonuses, and some compensation from the factory for your parents. Now I will give it to you, and you just need to sign for it."

Looking at such a large sum of money, Chen Fan bit his lip, turned to look at Director Yang, and asked softly, "Uncle Yang, I just heard you say that there is also a deposit in the bank?"

Director Yang immediately nodded, "Yes, the factory office will issue a certificate for you later, and Section Chief Sun will accompany you to handle it, so you can withdraw the money."

Chen Fan shook his head gently and said, "I don't want the money."

He raised his head, met the surprised gazes of everyone, exhaled a long breath, and smiled, "I heard that they were both members of the organization. Donate all this money, just as if it were their organizational dues."
