Chapter 599 Farewell Party!
Chapter 599 Farewell Party!
"Dingling! Dingling! Dingling!"
When Jia Dongming returned to the steel mill, it was already past five in the evening. Jia Dongming packed up his work, picked up his briefcase and prepared to go home after get off work. However, the phone in his office rang at an inopportune time.
When Jia Dongming heard the phone ring, he reached out and picked up the phone on his desk and said politely, "Hello! I'm Jia Dongming. Who is this?"
When Jia Dongming heard the phone ring, he smiled and said to Jia Dongming: "Director Jia! This is Li Huaide. Are you free tonight? Several technicians from the military factory will be leaving tomorrow. We will hold a farewell ceremony for them in the canteen tonight. I wonder if you are free to attend?"
After hearing what Li Huaide said on the phone, Jia Dongming thought about the alcohol tolerance of those technicians and immediately guessed the purpose of Li Huaide's invitation to him to accompany him. He smiled and said to Li Huaide, "Director Li! You are holding a farewell ceremony for the technicians of the military factory. I'd better not attend it, right?"
Li Huaide became anxious when he heard Jia Dongming's answer, and hurriedly said to Jia Dongming: "Director Jia! You must not refuse! You should know that in our steel rolling mill, only you can drink well and make these technicians drink well. If you don't join us, we will probably have to walk into the canteen tonight and be carried out of the canteen."
Jia Dongming heard Li Huaide's answer and felt his eagerness. He smiled and said to Li Huaide, "Director Li! I am really ashamed of what you said. Although those technicians can drink a lot, you can definitely find a few people to accompany them, and then have a round-robin style, so that the technicians can eat and drink well and return to the Northeast happily."
"Brother! Help us, we are just a bunch of weaklings in our factory. Even if we fight them in turns, we can't defeat these technicians. Please do me a favor!" When Li Huaide heard Jia Dongming's answer, he immediately guessed that Jia Dongming was joking with him, so he lowered his posture and asked Jia Dongming for help with a smile.
When Jia Dongming heard Li Huaide's request, he also guessed that Li Huaide must know that he was joking with him, so he smiled and replied: "Okay! After all, we are brothers who eat from the same spoon. At what time in the evening, I will arrange for someone to say hello to my family, and then come to the canteen."
When Li Huaide heard Jia Dongming's answer, he immediately thanked Jia Dongming happily: "Director Jia! Then I would like to thank you in advance."
"Dingling! Dingling! Dingling!"
Jia Dongming had just finished a call with Li Huaide and was about to call Qin Huairu to tell her that he would not be home for dinner that night. As a result, he had just hung up the phone when the phone suddenly rang.
When Jia Dongming heard the phone ring, he immediately let go of his hand on the phone and politely said, "Hello! I'm Jia Dongming. Who is this?"
"Dongming! This is Lin Yuemei. I just received news that the department has confirmed the candidate for the new factory director. The new factory director will take office next Monday." Just as Jia Dongming finished asking, Lin Yuemei's voice came over the phone. When Jia Dongming heard Lin Yuemei's voice, he remembered that he had been busy these two days and forgot to tell Lin Yuemei about the new factory director. Then he said to Lin Yuemei: "Yuemei! I was busy handling cases these two days and forgot to tell you about the new factory director."
"The new factory director is Zhou Bingyi, the deputy factory director in charge of technology at the Northern Military Factory. The higher-ups considered that our steel rolling mill is a supporting facility for the Northern Military Factory, so they transferred Zhou Bingyi to our steel rolling mill."
Lin Yuemei had only heard that the new factory director had been selected, but she didn't know his name or where he was transferred from. After hearing what Jia Dongming had said, she was immediately surprised and asked Jia Dongming, "Dongming! How did you know that the new factory director's name was Zhou Bingyi and that he was transferred from a northern military factory?"
When Jia Dongming heard Lin Yuemei's question, he immediately smiled and said to her, "Yuemei! I heard this news from a friend in the department. When I received the news, I was planning to call you, but I was too busy with the case and ignored it."
When Lin Yuemei heard Jia Dongming's introduction, she immediately remembered Jia Dongming's network of connections in the department and quickly asked him, "Dongming! Do you know everything about Director Zhou? Can you tell me more about him?"
When Jia Dongming heard Lin Yuemei asking about Zhou Bingyi, he smiled and introduced him to Lin Yuemei: "Yuemei! This new Director Zhou is a technical leader. He was a technician in the Soviet Arsenal in the early days. After liberation, he was transferred to the military factory in the Northeast. He worked his way up from a technician to the head of the technical department, and then became the deputy director in charge of technology. He is very different from the previous Chen Weizhong who only knew how to fight for power and profit."
Although Jia Dongming's introduction was not very detailed, Lin Yuemei knew clearly from what he said that the new Director Zhou was the kind of director who only wanted to work on technology, not like Chen Weizhong, who liked to fight for power and profit. This undoubtedly made her secretly relieved, and she whispered to Jia Dongming: "Dongming! Are you free tonight?"
When Jia Dongming heard Lin Yuemei's question, he immediately understood what Lin Yuemei meant. Thinking of Li Huaide's phone call just now, Jia Dongming smiled and said to Lin Yuemei, "Yuemei! Before you called me just now, Li Huaide called me and said that several technicians from the factory will leave our steel mill tomorrow and return to the Northeast."
"Because those technicians are all drunkards, Li Huaide is worried that the middle-level managers in our factory can't drink as much as those technicians, so he asked me to help out. I will come to your place tonight after I have dealt with those technicians."
The reason why Lin Yuemei called Jia Dongming was not only to tell him about the new factory director, but also to invite him to dinner in the evening. Now that she knew that Jia Dongming had been invited by Li Huaide, Lin Yuemei was inevitably disappointed, but she still smiled and told Jia Dongming: "Dongming! I have heard a little about the alcohol tolerance of those technicians from the Northeast. I heard that during the time they were guiding our factory, they made our comrades who were responsible for accompanying them drink so much that they couldn't come to work the next day. When you go to accompany them in the evening, try to drink less."
When Jia Dongming heard Lin Yuemei's instructions, he immediately smiled and said to her, "Yuemei! I got it. I'll come find you after I finish dealing with these technicians tonight."
