~18 min read 3,428 words

Yang Xun was very uneasy, his speech was trembling, carefully paying attention to the expression on Wang Yan's face.

Wang Yan was still smiling: "If I remember correctly, you are in the general assembly workshop of the looms, and you were promoted to production squad leader three months ago, right?"

"Yes, brother-in-law, your memory is really good, everyone has been taking good care of me..."

"It's because you did a good job yourself. I really didn't take care of you. I also asked, you didn't call me brother-in-law when you entered the factory, you worked your way up. You were also allocated a house, it's 55 square meters. Why don't you want to work anymore?"

When Yang Xun entered the factory last year, there were only more than 10,000 staff members. It was also from that time that they increased the construction of staff housing, maintaining a construction scale of 100 buildings under construction. Now that a year or more had passed, Yang Xun naturally was in line.

"It is 55 square meters, all taken care of by the factory. Now my family's life is also better, my mom doesn't have to work so hard, and my younger brothers and sisters are all studying with peace of mind."

Yang Xun first praised the factory's good system and good benefits, then said, "It's just that I feel I'm not suitable for this kind of work in the factory. Every day is the same work, seeing the same people, not as good as when I was flipping things to sell before. I still like those days.

Now the country has reformed and opened up. I see that the market in our county is so lively, and our textile factory has become Jin Ling Group. I think other places should be looser too. So I thought about going out to venture and see if I can make a career."

Wang Yan nodded, not surprised, Yang Xun had a spirit of adventure and challenge.

"Never thought about transferring to run business? You know the benefits of a salesperson, with field, food, and accommodation subsidies, and some commissions on sales. Our factory's ace salesperson earns only a few yuan less than my salary in a month, and they have reached the ceiling, very arrogant, even daring to confiscate my cigarettes."

"I still want to go out and see for myself, and fight for it. I heard that the Northeast and Guangdong are pretty good, and I want to go there and see. I just don't worry about my family..."

"Don't know if you fail, can you still return to the factory, and can the house be kept?"

"Hey, yes, Factory Director, oh no, brother-in-law, you are too amazing!"

"The house matter is no problem, sooner or later you have to enter the city. This winter, many staff members brought their parents to the city, otherwise the staff housing wouldn't be so lively. If you leave, there are still four people in your family, you have two younger brothers and a younger sister, and girls need to be taken care of. That house of yours is a bit small, and it's not convenient to live in.

The factory's 55-square-meter staff housing is prepared for those who are not married and old staff members who have separated. It's not that you live in one house until you die; if you have needs, you report it, and the factory coordinates flexibly.

In this way, the factory will take back your 55-square-meter house for redistribution, and arrange a 70-square-meter one for you. Your mother and younger brothers and sisters will be enough. Also, I heard your mother is in poor health and can't do heavy work. Arrange for her to go to the footwear and clothing factory, find an easy job. Younger brothers and sisters can come over to study directly."

Wang Yan waved his hand, not letting Yang Xun thank him, then continued, "As for your problem... this is a new situation, but it must be taken seriously. The country's situation is getting better and better, and they have even started to encourage individual businesses. Our staff definitely won't be just you who want to make a career yourself.

We still have to study and discuss this, and then make a decision. But what I can guarantee is that as long as your household registration is in Jin Ling, Jin Ling won't starve anyone to death. What needs to be discussed is just how to determine the treatment, you can rest assured about this point."

While speaking, he took out paper and pen from his bag and wrote a note.

"I estimate you will leave after the New Year. Take advantage of the fact that it's not on holiday yet, take the note to change the house, bring your mother and the others over, and the work matter is also settled."

"Thank you, brother-in-law, I..."

Patting him on the shoulder, Wang Yan said: "Alright, work hard, if you have anything, find me. I have to go back to a meeting, just to discuss your problem."

Without saying anything more, Wang Yan turned and entered the factory...

Yang Xun watched Wang Yan's figure disappear, and then looked at the note Wang Yan wrote for him.

This was produced and bound by the paper mill, printed with the words Jin Ling Group, divided into subject, handler, approver, etc., for the sake of work traces. This note would also be placed in the archives for easy verification, with responsibility to the person.

The content on it was very simple, a total of ten characters. Change house, family work, resignation, and finally Wang Yan's signature.

With this one small note, Yang Xun could be allocated a 70-square-meter house, could let his whole family enter the city, let his mother have a job, and let him go out to venture without burden...

He didn't think much more about it; he knew he didn't have that ability. Everyone in the county knew what Wang Yan was doing, and he asked himself that he didn't have that ability, nor did he have such noble sentiments; he just wanted to make himself live better and let his family live better, that's all...

In fact, this kind of note was not rare; Wang Yan opened it every day.

There were so many employees in the factory, and there were always various difficulties that couldn't be taken care of. He didn't isolate himself from the people, and every day when he worked, when he strolled around to inspect various factories, he understood the situation and opened notes to handle them.

The main problems were three pieces: housing, medical care, and reporting.

Those who couldn't get married in the rural areas could all get married after entering the factory, earning more and being stable. At the same time, the factory's personnel department would organize matchmaking activities for men and women of appropriate age from time to time with the county's civil affairs department. After getting married, they would have children and would have to change to a larger house.

As for medical care, there were some terminal illnesses, some long-term geriatric diseases, etc., which consumed money and energy, and individuals couldn't bear it, and the factory couldn't bear it either.

It could only be tried to save terminal illnesses, but it couldn't be prolonged for a long time; the expenditure was too large, and the factory couldn't afford this money. The chronic diseases of the elderly were a small problem; they could all be stabilized by injections, medicine, and conditioning. The remaining minor illnesses like colds, fevers, broken hands, and broken feet could basically be diagnosed and treated by surgery in the county. In general, it was to guarantee production, but it was still making progress...

In short, the county hospital could basically solve the problems caused by production accidents, but for other diseases, the county's medical conditions were a bit poor. When the flu was high, Wang Yan had to rush to help...

How happy Yang Xun's family was, how they spent the New Year, and how joyful they were about future life, I won't mention. But Wang Yan didn't lie to Yang Xun; he really pulled old Factory Director Qi and other senior factory leaders to hold a meeting.

He talked about Yang Xun's situation, and then talked about the previous debate on whether to allow outsiders to open shops locally.

"The situation is like this. I believe Yang Xun is the first person, but definitely not the last. Not to mention anything else, those who run business in our factory have been active outside all year round, seen the world, and opened their eyes; they are all ambitious. Blocking is not as good as dredging. People have their own choices, and we cannot obstruct them.

But they are our people, and their household registration is in this county. If they fail one day and return to their hometown, how should we settle them? Even if they don't fail, just the welfare and treatment of our county people living outside, how to determine it? Give or not give? How much to give? Everyone speak freely and express your opinions."

Old Li, who had been scolded by Wang Yan, took the lead: "My meaning is, giving is definitely necessary. As long as the household registration is in our county, it must be given. After all, we are publicly owned, and everyone in the county will distribute the production income of the factory in the future. Even if they leave, they are still a part of the county, so they should be distributed.

Besides, those who break the collective by violating the law and committing crimes, we all give them a mouthful of food, not to mention these people? Our Jin Ling people always have some who want to go out and see the world. If they develop well in the future, those with conscience will also give back to our collective."

"Agree!"

None of the more than ten people present raised objections. They were all very mature leaders and deeply understood that whether the non-local household registration population was distributed determined whether Jin Ling Group was truly publicly owned, which was a very critical point.

So people discussed the welfare and treatment of this part of the people.

"Same as the minimum pension standard of our factory?"

"No! That's more than ten yuan a month. This part of the people has no labor and no contribution, their welfare cannot be much, and the pension when they are old cannot be much, absolutely cannot be the same as our staff who have worked hard for half a lifetime."

"How about giving one-tenth of our average wage and average pension? With this money, you won't starve to death anywhere. As for medical care, we treat everyone equally. The specific implementation also has to wait until we have completely settled the population of the whole county and solved the problems of the whole county before we can support this part of the expenditure."

This was said by old Factory Director Qi.

Everyone discussed for a while, and gradually there was no sound, and they all looked at Wang Yan.

Wang Yan listened to a circle, nodded, and said: "Okay, the old factory director is mature and prudent. Welfare and pensions are tentatively set at one-tenth of the average, and will be implemented after we have completely done a good job in the settlement of the whole county. Little Liu, do a good job of recording this matter and arrange it in our pending affairs."

The young man surnamed Liu in the corner responded. This was the clerk of the factory office, specially doing meeting organization and recording.

Today's Jin Ling Group is large and has experienced structural adjustment, the so-called modern enterprise management, which is already quite professional and standardized.

"Okay, then our meeting officially begins. Let's talk about the work plan for next year..."

The year-end inventory had ended, all accounts payable had been settled, and the vast majority of accounts receivable had been recovered, mainly the payment for footwear and clothing. In addition, the year-end benefits had also been issued long ago, and the staff were all preparing for the New Year.

Even now, some families had passed the New Year in advance, because the machines couldn't stop, so they had already started to take turns to rest in advance, and it wouldn't be until after the fifteenth that they could restore normal production and life.

Staff could rest, but leaders couldn't. They also rested for one day during the New Year, but they also had to arrange for leaders on duty to be on post. During the New Year, they couldn't relax safety management. At this time, because people's hearts were floating and work was slack, it was a high-incidence period for accidents.

At the same time, the most important thing was, of course, the goals and arrangements for next year.

"Next year is a critical year, and it can even be said to be the most critical year. We are fully starting production, rural population is swarming into the city, and at the same time, more than 1,000 college students are in place, which is a major challenge for us.

Including city construction, development, rational use of personnel, old comrades' dogmatic empiricism..."

Wang Yan emphasized the importance of next year, indicating that the next ten years would depend on whether next year could be passed smoothly, whether they could continue to maintain technological leadership, maintain high-speed growth, and arranged the reception work for college students later...

Until two days before the New Year, Song Yunping returned to Jin Ling. She was amazed at the rapid changes in the county town after not returning home for more than a year, and praised Wang Yan's ability.

After staying in Jin Ling for half a month, Song Yunping left her hometown again to study in Beijing. Wang Yan sent her to Beijing, and he wanted to go to various universities in Beijing to see if there were any students who had been fooled by him and were willing to go to Jin Ling with him.

Wang Yan and Song Yunping left home for Beijing, and the first stop was naturally Anyun. It was still the state-run hotel near the train station, and the three sat at a table eating and drinking.

"No results yet?" Wang Yan asked with a smile.

Song Yunhui shook his head and let out a depressed breath: "They didn't want me."

"Don't be discouraged. Didn't your brother-in-law say that Secretary Xu of our county came out of Jinzhou Chemical?" Song Yunping comforted her own younger brother, but her eyes were looking at her own man.

"Can I not care?" Wang Yan ate the food and asked his brother-in-law, "That Yu..."

"Yu Shanqing."

"Ah right, Yu Shanqing. How did he get up?"

"Recommended by the school," Song Yunhui said with a bitter face, "I couldn't figure out why the school would recommend Yu Shanqing?"

"Good relationship with the relevant person in charge of your school, what's there to not figure out?" Song Yunping looked at her silly younger brother, somewhat helpless.

Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "It seems your school leaders still didn't give me face."

"Don't cause trouble." Song Yunping gently patted Wang Yan.

"What trouble can I cause? It's not the same system, and I can't manage them. Except for this batch this year, I won't come to Anyun University to recruit students in the future, and I will also submit a report not to have Anyun University allocated to us."

Song Yunping scolded: "Isn't this causing trouble?"

"They can't even do fairness and justice, so what else can I say to them? They have their power, and I also have my power. It's not allowed for the magistrate to set fires but not for the people to light lamps. They exercise power, and I also want to exercise power; only then is it fair."

"Forget it, brother-in-law," Song Yunhui let out a long breath and said, "If you really submit a report to the superiors, all the leaders of our school will be in trouble; it's not worth it."

"Ideological awareness is too low," Wang Yan looked like he was disgusted, "Do you think I'm taking revenge for you? You're wrong, very wrong! I'm helping your school identify the black sheep that destroy the education plan. If I submit this report, it won't take a month for whoever gave your classmate the green light to step down.

As for the school leaders being in trouble, this is the leadership responsibility they have to bear. What do you think leaders are for? If they can't handle things, can't stand up for things, and can't manage things, then don't get in the way, and step down early to let capable people come up. It's not that it has nothing to do with them, and they are innocent; there's no such thing."

"I can't beat you in words."

"It's because you're unreasonable; if you were reasonable, you would dare to slap the table with me. There are many things here, just learn. You eat, I'll go call Secretary Xu now, and settle your matter today."

Secretary Xu of course had no two words, saying that he would contact after hanging up the phone, and it could be handled immediately.

The facts were indeed so. After the three finished their meal and took the bus to Anyun University, Song Yunhui had just returned to the dormitory when his roommate told him the good news.

Of course, Wang Yan didn't know. He didn't go, but went straight to the flower bed in front of the Anyun University library. In the next twenty minutes, hundreds of people gathered. Students were like chasing stars. Whether they went to Jin Ling or not, listening to Wang Yan's demeanor and listening to his speech made people very happy.

Still treating Wang Yan, such a big helmsman of Jin Ling Group, as a monkey.

This has a sense of pleasure...

Treating him as a monkey is treating him as a monkey, but there was indeed a harvest. At Anyun University, Wang Yan recruited more than thirty people, who were clearly going to Jin Ling. Just wait for these two days to pack up, and they could set off.

Wang Yan brought a team this time, and some people even set off for Beijing in advance because it was hard to buy tickets.

So here Wang Yan recruited people personally, and the people who came with him directly registered and docked, preparing to send people to Jin Ling. These people were specially matched with Wang Yan to dock with these college students who didn't take allocation but chose their own employment.

The leaders in Beijing also determined the 500 allocated quotas from all over the country, and people would arrive in Jin Ling one after another in these few days.

And Jin Ling also made preparations for the reception of college students, absolutely making college students feel comfortable.

Just like this, after Wang Yan finished recruiting at Anyun University, he went to the Institute of Technology, and then took Song Yunping to Beijing, starting from Peking University, and conducted recruitment at every university.

College students were not unfamiliar with him. After all, he went around last year and visited all the universities in Beijing that could be ranked, regardless of liberal arts or science, medicine or law, he went to all their universities, because Jin Ling lacked all majors.

The result would not disappoint the painstaking efforts. Under Wang Yan's efforts, he fooled many college students in Beijing again. Counting Anyun University and the Institute of Technology, he recruited a total of 514 people.

These college students were all undergraduates, and compared to the 200 undergraduates and 300 junior college students allocated by the state, they were undoubtedly higher quality and more excellent. Even, Wang Yan fooled dozens of people out of Tsinghua and Peking University, which showed the richness of this trip.

College students in this era were still very down-to-earth, with relatively few water goods. They all studied seriously in university and were all usable. As for what kind of birds they would become in the future, that was a matter for the future.

After such a turn, Wang Yan bid farewell to Song Yunping and boarded the train south again.

This time, Jin Ling's socialist cause was really equipped with a 64-cylinder engine and was about to take off...
