Sun Rende heard the guard saying that Wei Yujin was coming, so he nodded with Zhen Zhen, gave her a wink, and then told the guard: "Let the comrade surnamed Wei come directly to my office."

When Sun Rende hung up the phone, Zhen Zhen hurriedly asked him: "Director Sun, please don't tell her that this factory is mine, just tell her that you belong to our family. An acquaintance is fine."

Sun Rende laughed and joked: "It seems that Mr. Li is very low-key outside."

Zhen Zhen nodded very contentedly: "Making a fortune in silence."

At the door of Tengda Furniture Factory, Wei Yujin was anxiously watching the doorman make a phone call, for fear that the young man would send himself away by saying "the factory manager is not free".

The doorman put down the phone and came out of the reception room, Wei Yujin was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out, his hands were tightly clasped together, and a stiff smile appeared on his face: "That, factory manager How to say?"

The doorman opened the door and stretched his hand inside with a polite smile: "The factory manager asks you to come to the office to find him."

Wei Yujin breathed a sigh of relief. As she walked in, she kept saying to the doorman, "Thank you, comrade, and trouble you."

According to the direction pointed by the guard, Wei Yujin quickly found the factory director's office, she took two deep breaths at the door, and then she mustered up the courage to knock on the door twice.

The door was opened all of a sudden, Wei Yujin looked at Zhen Zhen who was standing in the office smiling at her, her whole body relaxed and she felt a lot more at ease: "Zhen Zhen, Are you here too?"

"Well." Zhen Zhen invited Wei Yujin to sit down on the sofa: "Today, editor-in-chief Yu handed me a manuscript to interview some companies, and there happened to be Tengda Furniture Factory, so I stopped by first. By the way, I forgot to introduce you, this is Director Sun of Tengda Furniture Factory." Zhen Zhen pointed at Wei Yujin again: "My classmate is also my current colleague, Wei Yujin."

Wei Yujin and Sun Rende both stood up and shook hands, Wei Yujin was thinking about how to talk about his own affairs, when he heard Sun Rende say: "Just now about your situation, Li Chang...cough...Li Mingzhen has already told me. It stands to reason that our factory has a strict process for recruiting workers, and a situation like your man actually does not meet our regulations."

Wei Yujin raised her heart when she heard this, and thought that she was rejected by others, and her face suddenly turned pale, just as she was about to say that she understood, she heard Sun Rende continue: "But It just so happens that the workers in our workshops can no longer meet the production needs, the factory will start recruiting workers soon, and then your man will come to work with the newly recruited workers."

Wei Yujin didn't expect such a twist. For a while, he didn't know what to do, so he could only stand up and repeat and say thank you, Sun Rende smiled: "Ming Zhen never asked me for help. No matter what she's been doing, it's rare for her to speak once and I have to help to the end."

Wei Yujin reached out and took Zhen Zhen's hand, Zhen Zhen saw that Wei Yujin was about to cry again, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Eldest sister, this big brother Sun and my family are also old friends, otherwise I will not be in the morning. Dare to play this package with you. Now that this matter is settled, you should go back and call early and ask your husband to bring the child over. "

Sun Rende took out a bunch of keys from the drawer: "Ming Zhen said just now that you may not have a place to live, and the factory happens to have an unused house that you can lend to you first. But wait for your husband to come. Remember to tell him not to tell other employees that the influence of the province is not good."

"Don't worry, we are very tight-lipped, this has already caused you a lot of trouble." Wei Yujin stood up and bowed to Sun Rende, Sun Rende said quickly: "You are welcome, it is not Outsiders, it's getting late, let's go see the house early."

This house is only two streets away from the factory. The gate faces the road. There are two large houses facing the gate. One side of the yard is the kitchen and the other side is the storage room.

Sun Rende opened the door, Zhen Zhen took Wei Yujin and walked in, only to see that there were only sofas, coffee tables and dining tables in the room outside, which looked a bit empty. The room inside is a suite, with a single bed and a bedside table in it, and a large wardrobe, a bookshelf, and a desk by the window in the outside room. This is what Sun Rende gave to Wang Xinzhi when he lived here. arranged.

Sun Rende gave the key to Wei Yujin: "The dormitory in the factory is generally lived for three years first. If there is still no housing after three years, you can renew the loan. You can go through the formalities with me after your man goes to work."

Looking at this spacious house, Wei Yujin's eyes were red, she pulled Zhen Zhen excitedly and didn't know what to say, Zhen Zhen smiled and patted her hand, turned her head and said to Sun Rende: "I think there's still a double bed missing in this house."

Sun Rende nodded: "I told the warehouse before I left, and it is estimated that someone will come and pull it over after a while."

Wei Yujin hurriedly said: "This is already very troublesome for the factory. We can buy what we need. How can we still need the bed in the factory."

Sun Rende smiled: "It's not just for you, every employee living in the unit's dormitory is equipped with furniture produced by us."

The three of them were talking when four young men came over with a tricycle pulling a double bed and a mattress, Sun Rende helped set it up, and said to Wei Yujin, "I'll give you the key. , on the 1st of next month, let your man report directly to the factory."

Although Wei Yujin is a top student who graduated from the Chinese Department of Imperial College, at this time she does not know how to express her gratitude, and she is even too excited to speak. Zhen Zhen nodded, then turned around and left.

As soon as the door was closed, Sun Rende heard a loud cry coming from inside, and couldn't help but stop. Thinking back to that time, I had no job and no relatives, so I could only live alone in a dilapidated house in my hometown, and I was full and hungry. If Li Mingzhen hadn't found her and brought her back to the imperial capital, she would have been long ago by now. Killed in one head. Hearing Wei Yujin's cry, Sun Rende understood Wei Yujin's feelings very well.

Zhen Zhen waited for Wei Yujin to cry so much that she took out a handkerchief from her bag and handed it to her: "Go wash your face, I won't tell others about you crying in front of me ."

Wei Yujin burst into tears and laughed again, took the handkerchief and wiped away the tears, stretched out her hand to embrace Zhen Zhen in her arms, and said in a choked voice, "Sister, thank you."

"No thanks." Zhen Zhen patted her back: "Just invite me to dinner when your family is reunited."

"That's necessary." Wei Yujin learned Xu Jiajia's mantra, and they both laughed immediately.

Wei Yujin turned on the faucet and washed his face, then washed his handkerchief, took a clip and hung it in the yard. Back in the house, Wei Yujin took Zhen Zhen's hand and walked out: "Today is a good day, go, sister invites you to dinner, let's celebrate."

"Sister Wei...Sister Wei..." Zhen Zhen was dragged out several meters away, when she regained her senses, she quickly grabbed Wei Yujin: "We're not busy today, are you or Clean up here or go back to the dormitory early, after all, it's not close to the work unit, I have to go home early, my mother still thinks about me talking about my first day of work."

Seeing Zhen Zhen was really embarrassed, Wei Yujin didn't push her any further, took her hand and said, "Then I have to invite you to dinner for Sunday."

Zhen Zhen said with a smile: "When you are free during the week, you can cook at home and invite me to eat, and I will also try your Northwestern cuisine."

"Okay!" Wei Yujin smiled heartily: "That's it."

Zhen Zhen looked at her watch, it was getting late, and after saying goodbye to Wei Yujin, she hurried home by bike. Wei Yujin finally found her new home in Didu, excitedly took the money and went to a nearby small store to buy some daily necessities and prepared to come back to clean up. When passing by the grain store, she bought two meat buns to celebrate.

Zhen Zhen returned home, Wang Sufen had already prepared a table of dishes and was looking forward to waiting for Zhen Zhen to come home, Li Muwu walked around the door every two or three minutes, waiting for him to come out for the eighth time At last, I saw Zhen Zhen's figure.

Li Muwu was so happy that he ran back to the yard and shouted loudly: "Zhen Zhen is back." Then he ran to the door to wait for Zhen Zhen.

As soon as Zhen Zhen rode to the door, Li Muwu came over with a big fan to give her a fan: "Is it going to work today? Did you sleep with it at noon? Your milk made mung bean paste for you and poured it Honey, it's delicious."

Zhen Zhen pushed the bicycle into the upside-down seat and smiled: "It's good, but it went well, you don't know me yet, I have a good life."

Li Muwu suddenly smiled at ease, Zhen Zhen followed Li Muwu into the house, poured half a basin of warm water and washed her face, when she looked up, she saw the three people around her with milk and parents, They all looked at themselves incredulously.

Zhen Zhen suddenly laughed: "What are you looking at? Haven't we seen each other for a day? It looks like half a century?"

Mr. Li squinted her eyes happily: "It's not about my eldest granddaughter, you can see how fast these days have passed, and in the blink of an eye, Zhen Zhen went to work."

Zhen Zhen laughed dumbly and said, "If I say that, I've already gone to work. Don't I still have a furniture factory? I'm still the director of the factory."

"That's different. It's just a joke. Now this is a serious job." In Mrs. Li's heart, she still felt that working in a state unit was called work, and no matter how much money she made, it was impossible for her to make money. be considered a job. It's like Guihua's clothing store has already done a lot. The money earned in one day is more than Mingdong's monthly salary, but Mrs. Li still doesn't think it is a job.

Zhen Zhen knows that not only the older generation thinks this way, but many people of the same age as her also regard the jobs assigned by graduation as iron rice bowls, and would rather get a meager salary than come out and make a fortune on their own. .

Mr. Li put the towel in Zhen Zhen's hand on a shelf on one side, and pulled her to sit at the dining table: "Your mother specially cooked a lot of good dishes today, come and eat. "

Zhen Zhen took a mouthful of rice, then picked up a pair of chopsticks and braised fish, and nodded vigorously: "My mother's cooking is delicious, just like the taste I ate when I was a child."

Wang Sufen couldn't close her mouth with a smile, and quickly brought her some fish meat and scooped some fish soup bibimbap for her.

"Milk, I also want to invite a nanny to come back." Zhen Zhen took a bite and discussed with Mrs. Li, Wang Sufen was a little unhappy when she heard it: "I can still work here, What babysitter?"

Zhen Zhen knew the temperament of old people who are reluctant to spend money, and patiently persuaded her: "Mom, if we are in Beicha's hometown, I won't mention this, you can do it by yourself in the courtyard and outside the house. Cleaned up. But now our house is too big, just so much room, plastering and plastering the floor will tire you out. Mom, now your daughter is making a lot of money, what's the point of making money without spending it and saving a pile of waste paper The difference, you listen to me on this matter, I will find two good babysitters and come back, you can enjoy your happiness."

"Two babysitters?" Wang Sufen was taken aback: "I can't bear to ask for one of them. You just do two for me. Why do I need so many babysitters?" Wang Sufen hesitated. He bargained with Zhen Zhen for a moment: "Zhen Zhen, you said that there are only four people in our family plus you, and we need two nanny to serve. The old landlords didn't burn buns that much. I'll do half of it."

Zhen Zhen patiently persuaded her: "Mom, look at the **** Junjie next door, he is younger than you, and his population is not as large as ours, but he still has two babysitters. He usually does housework. A nanny takes care of the meals, she grows flowers, watches movies and climbs mountains, that’s life.”

Wang Sufen was a little envious when she heard it, but her mouth was still hard: "Can you sleep at night without doing any work?"

Zhen Zhen explained: "It doesn't mean that you are forced to do nothing. You can do what you like instead of wasting time and energy on cleaning and cooking."

Mr. Li listened for a long time and finally nodded: "Just as the child said, you have worked hard all your life, and you also enjoy the blessing of the child. You can see that Mu Wu is also the kind of quitter. I can't sleep well, but now you look at it, all your thoughts are on fishing, and you will be troubled if you don't take it out for a day. Just like what Zhen Zhen said, you can find some fun by yourself, and you can easily pass a few times. Good day."

Wang Sufen pondered for a long time, and finally came up with a favorite thing to do: "I think my favorite thing to do is farming, especially in our homes, oh , I have a sense of accomplishment.”

Zhen Zhen nodded dumbfoundedly: "Okay, this is also a hobby."

The family of four happily finished their dinner, Zhen Zhen helped Wang Sufen to bring the tableware to the kitchen, when she returned to the house, Mrs. Li couldn't wait to ask her, "How did you go to work today? What are you doing?"

Zhen Zhen sat cross-legged on a chair, holding a cup of tea and said, "Today I just finished reporting and I took up an assignment to interview ten companies and write a report, this week I don't have to Go to the unit and just bring the manuscript over next Monday."

This kind of thing is too professional, and Mrs. Li can't understand it. What she is more worried about is that her granddaughter is tired: "Are so many units running here? Are you tired?"

"I'm not tired, I just asked people some questions in the past." Zhen Zhen remembered the snacks she bought from the food factory, and quickly stood up and went to the basket to take out a bag: "Milk, today I I went to the Imperial Food Factory in the afternoon and bought some snacks for you on the way."

The weather is hot these days, and the dim sum will go bad after four or five days, so Zhen Zhen picked up two pieces and put them in a separate bag, and then took them out after two or three days.

Lady Li took over the dim sum, and seeing that there were several kinds of desserts that she did not know, she couldn't help but began to recall bittersweet sweets: "Nowadays people are really more and more good at eating, you In the past, it was very difficult to eat white noodles, and I could only eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, and I didn’t dare to open my belly to eat them. But now you can see that eating white noodles is not enough, and you have to put sugar and milk, these days I didn’t dare to think about it in the past.”

Although she had already eaten, Mrs. Li still took out a piece of dessert, she broke it into three pieces and handed it to Li Muwu and Wang Sufen each: "The snacks that your daughters earn money to buy, hurry up Try it."

The cake was not big. Li Muwu and Wang Sufen ate it in one bite.

Zhen Zhen smiled: "If you like it, I will buy it for you in the future. If I'm hungry during the day, I'll eat two pieces of stuff to make up my stomach."

"

"Very good." Xi Junjie nodded: "I just went to study the official documents that I have exchanged with European countries in recent years, and I didn't get started with specific things."

Zhen Zhen took out the mung bean paste made by Mrs. Li and gave Xi Junjie a bowl: "Aren't you tired from working all day? You still run here."

Mr. Li gave a "tsk" and patted Zhen Zhen's arm: "What are you talking about this kid, Junjie is not here to see you."

The relationship between Xi Junjie and Zhen Zhen has long been ignored, and he didn't care about it, he said some gossip, Xi Junjie mentioned his purpose: "Honey, I'm going to give me and Zhen Zhen's new house has a telephone, so that the unit can easily contact me if there is anything in the future. I don't think there is a telephone here, do you want me to help with the application? I have to make a separate trip in the future. "

Zhen Zhen was also pondering this matter, she nodded her head when she heard it: "Sooner or later, since you go through the formalities, just help me do it together, then you will be safe in my house. inside."

"Are you putting the phone in my house?" Mrs. Li couldn't help but said, "Then it will be much more convenient for me to call your uncle and your third uncle and third aunt, and so on. Secure the phone, and I'll call to inform them of your wedding day."

Zhen Zhen's happiest thing is that with her own efforts, Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen can live better and better, seeing her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law go to talk about the phone. Zhen Zhen took a mouthful of mung bean smoothie and asked Xi Junjie, "Do you know where I can hire a babysitter? I would like to ask two babysitters to help clean up the house."

Xi Junjie was very concerned about Zhen Zhen's affairs, he immediately asked, "Anything to ask?"

Zhen Zhen thought about it for a while, and said her requirements the same: "Quick hands and feet, neat work, honest and sincere, I don't know much about the rest, you help me with my staff."

Old Mrs. Li listened and answered: "It's delicious to cook, it would be even better if she could cook our Northeastern cuisine."

Xi Junjie smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, milk, it's on me."

I have to go to work tomorrow, Xi Junjie went home to sleep after eating the smoothie, Zhen Zhen also went back to the room to rest, the roses in the room were blooming in the night sky, exuding a faint floral fragrance.

According to her own roadmap, Zhen Zhen ran all the companies in five days and accumulated a lot of materials. During this period, Wang Xinzhi also signed a contract with the garment factory, and got a sample of Xingzi's shirt for Zhen Zhen to see. Relying on the very clear design drawings drawn by Zhen Zhen, Wang Xinzhi was a serious one. He stayed in the garment factory for two days and watched others make the samples. Zhen Zhen carefully checked the samples sent by Wang Xinzhi, and found that it was the same as what she remembered, so she immediately asked the garment factory to start production as soon as possible.

The factory here is working at full speed, and Zhen Zhen's mind is all about writing the manuscript. She used the two days over the weekend to not only write the newsletter that Director Yu wanted, but also enrich her hands. The subject matter of the book is organized into four side notes on enterprise development.

The night was already dark, Zhen Zhen copied the last line of the draft on the manuscript paper, then put down the pen and rubbed her wrist. After two days of hard writing, Zhen Zhen did not know how many times she typed out the draft and revised the sentence, and only then did she form the final draft. Looking at the messy paper on the table, Zhen Zhen missed the computers of later generations and typed on the computer. Much faster than writing by hand.

On Monday morning, Zhen Zhen went directly to Editor-in-Chief Yu's office after going to work and took out a thick stack of manuscripts: "Editor-in-chief Yu, this is the manuscript I wrote, except for the manuscript you requested In addition, I have written four more side notes, and I would like to ask you to give some pointers."

Seeing that Li Mingzhen just went to work, he took the initiative to give himself the workload at home, but this studious attitude made Editor-in-chief Yu nod his head: "Okay, I'll look at it in a while, the editor's office The first table against the wall is your desk, you go and read the nearest newspaper first."

Wei Yujin and the others all have their own positions. Although Yu Shoujing sent Li Mingzhen to the field, he also reserved an office space for her, and prepared necessary office supplies such as pens, ink, and manuscript paper.

Zhen Zhen took a stack of newspapers and returned to her seat, just after reading the headlines on the front page, Wei Yujin came in from outside, she saw Zhen Zhen’s eyes suddenly brightened, and quickly and quietly went to sit beside Zhen Zhen Going down, he said in a low voice, "I have already cleaned up the yard. I called my man last Tuesday. He has already cleaned up the house and sold all the food and everything. I will take the child on the train tomorrow. "

Zhen Zhen couldn't help but feel happy for Sister Wei when she heard this: "This is a good thing, but in the future you will not be as convenient as living in a dormitory when you go to work."

Wei Yujin said with a smile: "It takes 20 minutes to get to the work unit by bicycle, but it's not too far. I moved everything yesterday, and I went to the personnel bureau just now and I retire the dormitory. Now. When you are free, I will invite you to dinner at home. "

Zhen Zhen thought about it and said, "Then let's celebrate this Sunday, by the way, to celebrate your housewarming."

The two set a date, Wei Yujin went back to her work station and began to try to write news, Zhen Zhen glanced at the newspaper in her hand, and glanced at editor-in-chief Yu's office with some anxiety. .

Editor-in-chief Yu read all of Li Mingzhen’s manuscripts, and I don’t need to mention the side notes, because Li Mingzhen’s interview is very detailed, through the development of the enterprise, the changes in the lives of workers, and the comparison between the past and the present. The changes brought about by the reform and opening up are presented one by one. As for the manuscript arranged by editor-in-chief Yu, Li Mingzhen not only interviewed enterprises, but also went to relevant government departments, and obtained various values ​​that can reflect the rapid economic development in the past two years. At the beginning of the article, authoritative data was listed, interspersed with relevant remarks from leaders. Through the comparison of different companies, especially companies like Tengda, which have been on the brink of bankruptcy and have not been able to pay wages for half a year, it took just two years. It has become the largest furniture factory in China, and it has been able to express the new opportunities brought by the reform and opening up to the enterprise. It depends on whether the enterprise adheres to the rules or is bold and innovative.

Yu Shoujing originally gave Li Mingzhen this topic to let her practice how to interview and collect information, but he did not think that Li Mingzhen could write articles that could be published. , Usually new reporters have to study with old reporters for at least three months before they start trying to publish articles. But he didn't expect Li Mingzhen's article to be very comprehensive, and he only needed to add a few comments before it could be published in the newspaper. Yu Shoujing picked up the pen and made corrections directly on the manuscript.

Two hours later, Yu Shoujing finally called Zhen Zhen to the office. If Yu Shoujing was kind to Zhen Zhen a week ago, now it can be said to be amiable. Handing the revised manuscript to Zhen Zhen, Yu Shoujing looked at her with satisfaction: "As expected of a student of our Imperial Capital University who won the special scholarship for four consecutive years, your writing ability is beyond my imagination, this press release is very well written, I have made changes, I can report it in the afternoon, and I can see it in the paper as soon as tomorrow."

"Really?" Although she knew that she had worked hard, Zhen Zhen was still very excited when the results of her efforts were recognized: "Thank you, editor-in-chief."

Yu Shoujing smiled: "These four sidenotes are also good, and there are suitable places to publish them one by one." Zhen Zhen secretly compared herself in her heart, when she walked out of Yu Shoujing's office, I feel like my legs are floating.

In the afternoon, the newspaper was finalized, and different editors checked the manuscript. Zhen Zhen secretly looked at the position of her manuscript with her consciousness, and it was actually ranked on the second page of the headline, which is already a newcomer. Terrific results.

When she came home at night, Zhen Zhen rushed into the yard and shouted loudly: "Nursing, my manuscript has been approved, and tomorrow's Huaguo Daily has my manuscript." The old lady Li was very excited when she heard it. He said: "Zhen Zhen, mother, hurry up and send a telegram to your hometown!"

In the early morning of the next day, Mrs. Li went out to guard the door of the post office before dawn. When the door opened, she rushed in: "Comrade, today's Huaguo Daily will give me 100 copies!"
