Reborn in 1977

Chapter 446 Question? Nonexistent!

Upon arriving at the prefectural committee, the driver arranged by Director Yang was already waiting at the pier.

However, he didn't go to the machinery factory immediately, but first dropped off the two cats at home and built them a cat nest in the kitchen.

Actually, it was just a frame with a thick layer of straw inside, both the frame and the straw brought from Lujiawan.

He also left them a pot of water and a bowl of dried small fish as this month's salary, instructing them to take good care of the house and work hard, and there would be bonuses, promotions, and salary increases in the future, in addition to dried small fish and small dried shrimp.

Both tabby cats expressed great satisfaction. Wasn't this kind of life much better than the precarious one they had before?

They had to work hard and couldn't lose their jobs!

Seeing the two cats immediately go on patrol, Chen Fan nodded in satisfaction.

After finishing these things, he took the special car to the machinery factory.

In the office building, Director Yang, Deputy Director Li, and Chairman Zhao of the labor union were already waiting in the hall, chatting and smoking.

Director Yang said, "I've already inquired clearly. Besides holding a position in the Health Department, Xiao Fan is also an intermediate-level physician. His doctor's position is affiliated with the First People's Hospital, but he has never been there.

We definitely can't move him from the Health Department, so we can only give him the title of health consultant, but if we can transfer his doctor's position here, this consultant title will be well-deserved."

Deputy Director Li and Director Yang had competition, but they were united in the general direction, which was to make the unit bigger and stronger.

This was also the common goal of most enterprise management at the time.

As for those who colluded to ruin the enterprise, that wouldn't become popular for several more years.

So, upon hearing Director Yang's words, Deputy Director Li said without hesitation, "This is a good idea. At least it can be justified to everyone above and below. It was originally just a nominal affiliated position. The transfer won't have any impact on Xiao Fan, and he should agree.

However, our purpose is not really to invite Xiao Fan to be a health consultant. As you said, he was able to promote Lujiawan to two levels in just over half a year, which shows that he has real skills.

We must give him sufficient treatment so that he can shine."

Speaking of this, he sighed with mixed feelings, "If he weren't Lao Chen's child, we wouldn't be able to get involved with him. I heard that there are many people who have their eyes on him."

Director Yang's expression changed slightly, "Are there other units eyeing him?"

Deputy Director Li turned to look at Director Yang and Chairman Zhao, and said seriously, "Jiang Heng from the cotton mill, you all know him, right?"

The two nodded together. Director Yang smiled and looked at him, saying, "Jiang Heng is a talent, but unfortunately, something happened to him. His situation is similar to Lao Chen's. It's just that his old leader hasn't been reinstated yet, so he can't help him for the time being, but he is also under review, and it is estimated that the time for his case to be overturned is not far away."

Speaking of this, he suddenly had a thought. Did Lao Li know something?

So he pretended to be doubtful and said, "Are you saying that Jiang Heng knows about Chen Fan and wants to get him to the cotton mill? That's impossible, right? He can hardly protect himself now, how can he have time to care about others?"

Deputy Director Li chuckled, "Of course it's not Jiang Heng, he doesn't have that ability now."

Then, he lowered his voice mysteriously, "Jiang Heng has two daughters. The younger one was arranged to go to the production team to work in the countryside when he had an accident."

Director Yang blinked. How did it turn to his daughter?

Looking at Deputy Director Li's mysterious smile, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck him, "Did she go to Lujiawan?"

Deputy Director Li nodded slowly and smiled, "I only accidentally discovered that he and Jiang Heng's two daughters have a very good relationship when I asked acquaintances in the Health Department to inquire about Xiao Fan's affairs. Even his agreement to take a position in the Health Department was to help Jiang Heng's youngest daughter return to the city, and he made an exchange with Section Chief Zhou of the Health Department. However, the specific person in charge was Deputy Director Zuo of the Education Department."

Yunhu was just so big. As long as someone with a heart investigated, it's not that there was nothing that couldn't be found out, but anything that wasn't kept secret and had traces couldn't stand scrutiny.

Especially personnel transfers, which couldn't be concealed at all. You could find out with a little inquiry.

Of course, that was because Deputy Director Li was in this circle. If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid they wouldn't even hear a word.

Seeing Director Yang and Chairman Zhao looking thoughtful, Deputy Director Li smiled slightly and continued, "Our Yunhu is located in Jiangnan, and it can be regarded as a place with outstanding people, but it is extremely rare for someone as young as Xiao Fan to become a well-known writer, not to mention that his contribution to Lujiawan is obvious to all.

So the newly appointed Director Song of the cotton mill..."

Before he could continue, Director Yang asked curiously, "What about the original Director Xu?"

Before Deputy Director Li could speak, Chairman Zhao next to him smiled and said, "You are oblivious to what's happening around you. As early as half a year ago, the one surnamed Xu was implicated by a Deputy Director surnamed Li, not only losing his position but also being thoroughly investigated and severely sentenced. He has long been in prison."

Director Yang's face was full of curiosity, "What's the situation? Didn't he have a backer? He fell as soon as he was implicated?"

Deputy Director Li lit a cigarette, shook his head and sighed, "Lao Yang, ah, Lao Yang, what can I say about you? Even if you are wholeheartedly devoted to your work, you should at least pay attention to what's happening outside."

Director Yang smiled slightly, "I'm not the same as you. You are in charge of logistics and administration, so you must pay attention to all aspects of the situation, otherwise it is easy to make mistakes. I am only in charge of organization and production. Completing the task perfectly is my most important job. I really don't have the energy to pay attention to other things, and it's best to pay less attention to them, otherwise it's easy to be distracted. Your presence is enough to handle the outside affairs."

Deputy Director Li raised his hand with a wry smile, "Okay, okay, I'm just advising you, and you're making a big deal out of it."

After a pause, he suddenly couldn't help but grin and laugh, "Hahahahaha, you don't know, there was someone in their cotton mill who rose to power by beating people, that is the Deputy Director Li. At that time, the one surnamed Xu in the cotton mill let him bite people a lot, including Jiang Heng.

But this matter has nothing to do with Jiang Heng. The problem still lies with the son of the one surnamed Li. Just half a year ago, dozens of rats suddenly entered his son's house..."

As Deputy Director Li recounted, Director Yang's expression became more and more wonderful. After he finished speaking, he immediately asked, "So the one surnamed Li was implicated by his son, and then the one surnamed Xu was exposed by the one surnamed Li. In the end, the cotton mill was wiped out?"

Deputy Director Li nodded repeatedly, holding back his laughter. Taking two breaths, he smiled and said, "The son of that Deputy Director Li directly poured out all the dirty things his father had done in order to get a reduced sentence. And Deputy Director Li also thought about dying together, not to mention that confessing leniently and being able to get a reduced sentence, so he directly dragged Director Xu into the water, and explained all the things he had done for Director Xu before.

If it was just a crime and a fine, it would be fine, but the key is that they bite each other so much that the Light Industry Department felt too embarrassed and issued a gag order, not allowing it to be spread outside. Although those who should know know it, there are really few outsiders who know it.

Even inside the cotton mill, although many people sensed something was amiss, the new leadership stepped in to stabilize the situation and repeatedly emphasized that no one should criticize the leaders, so they didn't dare to openly discuss it."

After saying that, he suddenly paused, "I was supposed to be talking about Chen Fan, how did I get so far off track?"

He quickly waved his hand, "None of that matters, anyway, it has nothing to do with us. The main thing is this:

Not long after Director Song took office at the cotton mill, he heard from a contact in the health department that Chen Fan had used connections in the health department to send the Jiang sisters to the education department, and he became interested."

Director Yang's expression changed, "He wants him too?"

Chairman Zhao laughed from the side, "The way you put it, who wouldn't want someone like Xiao Fan? Putting aside everything else, just his writing skills alone are worth a lot.

Other units can't do anything because they can't find any connection. We were only able to find a way to bring him in because we have Old Chen's connection.

Isn't it the same for their cotton mill?

Director Song originally didn't have much of a relationship with Jiang Heng, but I heard that he is now trying to overturn Jiang Heng's case, just to use his daughter to lure Chen Fan over…"

Just as they were enthusiastically gossiping, a Shanghai sedan slowly pulled up in front of the office building; it was the special car Director Yang had sent to pick up Chen Fan.

Although it was a little later than expected, Director Yang didn't mind; as long as the person arrived, that was all that mattered.

Chen Fan sat in the passenger seat, first offering the driver a cigarette, and then giving him a thumbs up, "Master, you are really professional. From beginning to end, besides saying hello, you didn't say a single word. You're definitely driver material!"

The driver carefully looked at him, made sure he was being sincere, and then smiled as he accepted the cigarette, "You're too kind."

Chen Fan clicked his tongue and got out of the car.

He was still muttering in his heart, "I just wanted to ask about the status of your scrapped cars, and you won't even tell me that? That's too much."

Then he saw Director Yang, Deputy Director Li, and Chairman Zhao walking out, and he quickly went to greet them.

At first, Chen Fan thought it was a coincidence. It couldn't be that three department-level cadres were waiting for him, could it?

When the three of them surrounded him, smiling and talking to him, he realized that it was actually true?

He was indeed a little overwhelmed by the favor.

Director Yang patted his arm and said with a smile, "You must be tired from the trip. Go to my office and rest for a while, and I'll take you around the factory later."

Chen Fan quickly shook his head and said, "No need, no need. This little bit of travel is nothing. I should look at the factory's situation first."

The sooner I finish the work, the sooner I can get paid!

Deputy Director Li nodded approvingly, "Well done, just like your father, you put work first."

Director Yang smiled and said, "How about this, I'll take you to the factory hospital first to get a thorough understanding of the situation, and then take you to the workshop in the afternoon?"

Chen Fan waved his hand with a smile, "I work relatively quickly, I should be able to finish looking at it in the morning."

Just kidding, I'm waiting to see the car in the afternoon, how can I let you keep pushing it off until tomorrow?

Director Yang and the other two looked at each other, surprised by his confidence.

However, they were all "mature and steady" people, so naturally they wouldn't easily say anything to refute him, so they verbally agreed first.

Anyway, if the work isn't finished, they definitely won't let him leave. The mechanical factory's doors aren't that easy to enter!

The factory hospital wasn't far from the office building, separated by a small grove.

Director Yang introduced as he walked, "Yesterday I only gave you a brief look at some of the products, without a detailed introduction to our mechanical factory. Now that you want to investigate in depth, I'll tell you more about it.

Yunhu Mechanical Factory is a relatively latecomer among Yunhu's key enterprises. It was built in 1965 during the 'Small Third Front' movement, supported by 65 units affiliated with 14 departments in Jiangnan Province, including industry, materials, construction materials, transportation, health, and electricity. Eighty-one independent units were built in the province, and our factory is one of the 16 key units.

After the mechanical factory was built, it had workshops for casting, processing, surface treatment, precision machining, parts inspection, complete machine assembly, complete machine inspection, and packaging, as well as logistics units such as a transportation team, cafeteria, hospital, store, bathhouse, and workers' club. There are currently nearly ten thousand employees…"

Chen Fan listened to his introduction while gently nodding, indicating that he was listening attentively.

Many people know about the Third Front. In order to respond to a possible war, the higher authorities decided to divide the country into three levels, according to the degree to which they might become war zones, namely the First Front, the Second Front, and the Third Front.

The First Front was the most likely to become a war zone, and so on. The least likely to become a war zone was the Third Front.

The Third Front included the central and western regions of provinces and regions such as Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai, Shanxi, Henan, Hubei, and Hunan.

The First Front was the eastern coast and most of the border provinces and regions, and the rest were the Second Front.

Then, a large number of industrial construction projects were transferred to the safer Third Front areas.

This was the world-shaking Third Front construction.

In addition to the large Third Front, small Third Front projects were also launched in various provinces.

The initial role of these small Third Front factories was to produce "light combat tools" below the regimental level to support mass operations.

Later, with the sudden emergence of Miss Qiu, they built her the Long March No. 1, a special vehicle that could fly very far. The combat mission was no longer so urgent, and these small Third Front factories gradually shifted to the civilian market.

Yunhu Mechanical Factory also entered a period of rapid development.

Chen Fan listened to the introduction and followed Director Yang and the others into the mechanical factory's employee hospital.

Director Yang originally wanted to call all the medical staff over to meet Chen Fan.

After all, he would also be the factory's "health consultant" in the future, and he would be in the same system as everyone else, so he should get to know them.

But Chen Fan said there was no rush. He only greeted the hastily arrived director of the hospital, then left Director Yang and the others behind. Without looking for a guide, he quickly walked around the hospital, not even missing the small courtyard in the back of the inpatient department.

After a tour, he returned to the hospital lobby and gave a hand gesture, "I have a good idea of the situation. I'll sort it out and give it to you tomorrow."

The nearby Director Lin had a bitter smile on his face.

If Chen Fan's reputation hadn't been so incredibly high in their health system, he would definitely have had a big argument with the factory leaders at this time, and even kicked this ignorant young man out.

The hospital is a very rigorous place of work, how could he allow him to just take a cursory look and dare to say he had a good idea and could make suggestions?

But now, when he learned that this young man was Chen Fan, who the factory leaders had painstakingly invited over, he only had expectations in his heart.

Questioning?

Non-existent!

But just as Chen Fan finished speaking and was about to leave, a group of people rushed in noisily.

Someone was shouting, "Doctor, save someone…"
