Chapter 403 Unexpected news!
Chapter 403 Unexpected news!
When General Manager Chen heard what Jia Dongming said, he angrily scolded him, "Dongming! You'd better not play tricks on me. You even tried to provoke me. I tell you, you should keep a low profile during this period. After the New Year, the Security Department of your Red Star Steel Rolling Mill will be upgraded to the Security Department. At that time, the organization of your Security Department will be adjusted."
Jia Dongming, who was feeling somewhat disappointed, showed an incredible expression on his face when he heard the news from General Manager Chen. He quickly asked General Manager Chen, "Uncle Chen! Is what you said true? Our Security Section will be upgraded to the Security Department in the next year?"
When General Manager Chen heard Jia Dongming's question and sensed the surprise in Jia Dongming's words, he answered in a very serious tone: "The steel mill will expand its recruitment before the New Year. From the original factory with more than 5,000 people, it will expand to a large factory with tens of thousands of workers. In order to ensure the safe production of the steel mill, your security department will also be upgraded to the security department, and your rank will also be raised by one level with this upgrade."
After hearing what Mr. Chen said, Jia Dongming confirmed the news that the security department was going to be upgraded. He vaguely understood why Mr. Chen had arranged for him to work in the security department of the steel rolling mill. He quickly thanked Mr. Chen, "Uncle Chen! Thank you for your support!"
When General Chen heard Jia Dongming's thanks, he couldn't help laughing. He smiled and asked Jia Dongming, "Dongming! When did you learn to flatter? In a word, no matter how angry you are during this period, hold it in. After the security department is upgraded, you can go ahead and do your job."
When Jia Dongming heard what Mr. Chen said, his originally depressed mood instantly became extremely happy. He quickly assured Mr. Chen: "Uncle Chen! Don't worry, during this period of time, no matter how much anger I suffer, I will endure it and be a coward!"
When Mr. Chen heard Jia Dongming's answer and thought about Jia Dongming's marriage, he reminded Jia Dongming, "Dongming! Your aunt has heard about your marriage. She has mentioned it to me several times and asked you to bring your wife home to see her."
When Jia Dongming heard Mr. Chen's reminder and thought of Mr. Chen's lover, some memories buried deep in his brain, like an old movie, kept replaying in Jia Dongming's mind, full of rich emotions and endless stories.
Recalling the little things of the past, Jia Dongming said to Mr. Chen, "Uncle Chen! I haven't eaten my aunt's cooking for a long time. When you get home from get off work, remember to tell my aunt that I want to eat her hand-rolled noodles."
When Mr. Chen heard what Jia Dongming said, he replied with a smile: "Okay! On the day off, I'll ask your aunt to make you some hand-rolled noodles."
After Jia Dongming finished talking to General Manager Chen, he felt much better. At this moment, Zhang Guoping suddenly knocked on the door and walked into Jia Dongming's office. He reported to Jia Dongming respectfully, "Director! I have already shipped back all the things that were sent to the logistics warehouse of the steel mill. They are now in the office of the Third Brigade."
After hearing Zhang Guoping's report, Jia Dongming curiously asked Zhang Guoping, "Guoping! Did the Third Brigade move to the west gate so quickly?"
Zhang Guoping nodded subconsciously when he heard Jia Dongming's question and replied, "Director! The Third Brigade is mainly responsible for the security and patrol work in the factory living area. The houses over there are close to the west gate, and it will be much more convenient for them to enter and exit the factory. So as soon as I told Lao Li about your idea, he immediately gathered people and moved the things over there."
After hearing Zhang Guoping's report, Jia Dongming thought about the upcoming upgrade of the Security Department and said to Zhang Guoping, "The Third Brigade will temporarily work there. After the new year, I will find a way to apply for funding from above, then demolish that building and build a Security Department office building on the original site."
Zhang Guoping was surprised when he heard Jia Dongming's idea. He reminded Jia Dongming, "Director! Building an office building will cost a lot of money. Will the higher-ups agree?"
When Jia Dongming heard Zhang Guoping's question, a meaningful expression appeared on his face. He said to Zhang Guoping, "Guoping! If we apply to the higher-ups now, they will definitely not approve our application. But after the new year, the situation will be different. Then they will definitely approve our application."
Zhang Guoping heard Jia Dongming's answer and saw the meaningful expression on his face. He felt that Jia Dongming had something else to say, but he couldn't understand what Jia Dongming really meant. He immediately asked Jia Dongming, "Director! I just heard Lao Guo cursing in the office. He seemed to say that the enemy spy they were targeting some time ago has been arrested by you. What's going on?"
When Jia Dongming heard Zhang Guoping asking about Guo Jianguo's swearing, he told Zhang Guoping about his accidental encounter with an enemy spy at noon and how he successfully captured the spy.
Zhang Guoping heard what Jia Dongming said, and then he understood why Guo Jianguo cursed. He couldn't help but said with a smile: "This Black Hawk is an enemy spy that the police have been looking for for a long time, but he just missed the first team. No wonder Guo cursed."
After hearing what Zhang Guoping said, Jia Dongming smiled and said to him, "Guoping! Comrade Guo Jianguo is also responsible for this matter. I have clearly told him that there is something wrong with the owner of the yard. If he had taken it seriously at the time, he would not have withdrawn the people directly because of Zhang Weihua's report." Zhang Guoping nodded in agreement after hearing Jia Dongming's answer and said to Jia Dongming, "Director! You are right! Comrade Guo himself did not take it seriously, so he cannot blame others for this."
It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon when Jia Dongming finished the work at hand. After finishing the work at hand, Jia Dongming rode his bike out of the steel rolling mill and rode towards Tongluoguxiang.
Jia Dongming rode his bike back to the gate of No. 95 Tongluoguxiang and walked into the courtyard. When the door god Yan Bugui saw Jia Dongming coming back, he greeted him enthusiastically as if he had never had a conflict with Jia Dongming before, saying, "Director Jia! You have a guest at your house today."
When Jia Dongming heard Yan Bugui's words and saw the enthusiastic expression on Yan Bugui's face, he truly understood what it meant to be invincible if you are shameless.
However, Jia Dongming suppressed his disgust and said to Yan Bugui with a smile, "Teacher Yan! If I'm not mistaken, it should be my uncle and my uncle who are here. The steel mill is recruiting workers this time and gave me several quotas. I will distribute these quotas to my uncle and my uncle's family."
When Yan Bugui heard Jia Dongming mention the work target, the muscles on his cheeks twitched slightly, and then quickly returned to normal. He smiled and suggested to Jia Dongming: "Director Jia! Your uncle and his uncle are coming to the city as guests. We should give them a good reception no matter what we say. I happen to have a bottle of good wine that I have collected for many years at home. I will bring the wine and go to your house later to have a few drinks with your uncle and his uncle."
When Jia Dongming heard Yan Bugui's proposal and thought of the wine that Yan Bugui had mixed with who knows how much water, he immediately felt disgusted and quickly refused: "Teacher Yan, today we are just a family gathering, and it is really inconvenient for outsiders to intervene, so I appreciate your kindness."
Yan Bugui proposed to bring wine to Jia Dongming's house for dinner, with the mentality of trying his best, so he was not surprised at Jia Dongming's refusal. He replied with a fake smile: "Director Jia! You are right. It is indeed not appropriate for outsiders to be present at your family gathering. Let's drink together some other time if there is a chance."
In the past, Jia Dongming thought that Yan Bugui was calculating and liked to take advantage of others. Now, Jia Dongming finally understood Yan Bugui's shamelessness. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Yan Bugui, he pushed his bicycle towards the Chuihua Gate.
When Jia Dongming pushed his bicycle into the courtyard, he saw the three elders sitting in the pavilion chatting with Jia Zhang. He immediately greeted them warmly, "Uncle! Big uncle! Second uncle! You are here."
When Jia Dongming's uncle saw Jia Dongming coming home from get off work, he immediately remembered what Jia Zhang had told them, and asked Jia Dongming impatiently, "Dongming! I heard from your mother that you got a work quota for your uncle and uncle's family. Is this true?"
When Jia Dongming heard his uncle's question, he did not answer it immediately. Instead, he parked his bicycle and introduced the three people: "Uncle! Big uncle! Little uncle! The steel mill is expanding its recruitment this time, and the factory has given me three work quotas. Considering your family's situation, I will give each of you a work quota. As for who will go to the city to work, you can discuss it with your family after you go back, then get the village certificate and come to the city to find me."
Entering the city means a change of destiny. Although the three of them had already learned from Jia Zhang the reason why Jia Dongming called them into the city, now hearing Jia Dongming's personal confirmation, all three of them showed ecstatic expressions on their faces.
Jia Fuqiang thanked Jia Dongming excitedly: "Dongming! On behalf of the family, thank you."
After hearing Jia Fuqiang's thanks, Jia Dongming reminded Jia Fuqiang, "Uncle! There is only one quota. As for who is allowed to enter the city, you must be fair to each other to avoid damaging the friendship between Dongfang and Dongzhe because of work quotas."
When Jia Fuqiang heard Jia Dongming's reminder, he immediately nodded and happily assured Jia Dongming: "Don't worry, when uncle goes back, I will let Dongfang and Dongzhe draw lots. Whoever draws the quota will go to work in the city."
After hearing Jia Fuqiang's promise, Jia Dongming did not dwell on the issue any further. He smiled and said to Jia Zhang: "Mom! You stay here and chat with my uncle and my cousin. I'll put the briefcase in the house first, and then ask Huairu to cook more dishes in the evening. I'll have a few drinks with my uncle and my cousin in the evening."
