Call a person out from the Security Department and ask him to lead Zhang Weiguo to the Personnel Department.

Zhang Weiguo expressed his gratitude to him.

"You are welcome."

At this time, the young man who was summoned came over, and the guard said, "Xiao Liu, take Comrade Zhang Weiguo to the Personnel Department."

"Yes, Captain."

This is the captain of the security department, and we can build a good relationship with him.

Now is the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. For large factories like the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, the work of the Security Department is very important. Many enemy spies do not want to see the stable development of the country and will cause sabotage everywhere.

For a large factory like the Red Star Steel Mill, the job of the security department is not only to protect the steel mill, but also to maintain local public security. Therefore, all the people in the security department are equipped with guns.

Soon, Xiao Liu took Zhang Weiguo to a two-story building. Xiao Liu said, "The Personnel Department is on the far left of the second floor."

Zhang Weiguo thanked Xiao Liu.

Zhang Weiguo stepped into the small building and came to the leftmost side of the second floor.

Each office has a sign with the name of the department on it, so it is easy to find.

"Knock knock knock..." Zhang Weiguo knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Zhang Weiguo pushed open the door and walked in. A woman in her forties stood up and asked, "Comrade, what can I do for you?"

"Hello, I'm here to report."

As he spoke, Zhang Weiguo handed the letter of recommendation to the other party.

The other party looked at me for a while and said, "Hello, my name is Liu Hui, and I'm a clerk in the personnel department. Please follow me."

Zhang Weiguo followed Liu Hui out of the Personnel Department and came to a room opposite the Personnel Department. The sign on the door read "Deputy Section Chief's Office".

“Knock, knock, knock…”

"Come in."

A woman's voice came from inside.

Liu Hui led Zhang Weiguo into the office. The office was spacious and there was a woman in her thirties looking at documents behind the desk.

"Section Chief, this is a retired military officer, please take a look."

"yeah?"

The other party was surprised for a moment, looked up at Zhang Weiguo, and stood up.

She shook hands with Zhang Weiguo first and said, "Hello, comrade. My name is Yang Ping, deputy chief of the personnel department."

"Hello, Chief Yang, my name is Zhang Weiguo."

Then, Yang Ping took the letter of recommendation and read it. Not only was Zhang Weiguo a battalion-level cadre, he also had won first-class merit. It was not easy to win first-class merit in that era.

As the saying goes: The third-class merit is received while standing, the second-class merit is received while lying down, and the first-class merit is received by the family members.

How difficult it is to obtain first-class merit.

"Comrade Zhang Weiguo, hello, I can only arrange for ordinary veterans here. Only the factory director and deputy director can arrange your job."

Yang Ping was very polite. As long as Zhang Weiguo worked in the steel rolling mill, his rank would at least be the same as hers, and there was a high probability that he would be higher than hers. Being polite at this time would show that they had a friendship.

"Then I'll have to trouble Chief Yang," said Zhang Weiguo.

"No trouble, I'll take you to see Deputy Director Li."

Zhang Weiguo thought: "This Deputy Director Li should be the Li Huaide in the play."

Deputy Director Li was a very capable person. He was good at manipulating people before the storm, and after the storm, he became the director of the Revolutionary Committee and the head of the steel mill. He even sent Director Yang to sweep the streets.

And after ten years of ups and downs, Director Li is still thriving in the business world and his business is booming.

It can be seen that there is a senior person backing him up.

This guy is just a little bit lustful. I don’t know whether Liu Lan has come to the steel mill now.

This Deputy Section Chief Yang Ping should be a subordinate of Deputy Director Li, otherwise, he would not have bypassed Director Yang and come to find Deputy Director Li.

Zhang Weiguo had no aversion to Deputy Director Li.

As long as you don't provoke Zhang Weiguo, everyone is friends. If you provoke Zhang Weiguo, he will not show mercy when he strikes.

Deputy Director Li’s office is not in the same building as the personnel department.

Yang Ping led Zhang Weiguo for five minutes before they arrived at a more imposing small building.

This small building has three floors. The factory director's office and the deputy director's office are both on the third floor.

"Xiao Xu, is Deputy Director Li here?" Yang Ping asked.

Outside Deputy Director Li's office, a young man in his twenties was sitting behind a desk. He seemed to be Deputy Director Li's secretary.

Zhang Weiguo thought that according to Deputy Director Li's preferences, the secretary should be a female, but he didn't expect it to be a male.

"Chief Yang, Deputy Director Li is inside." Secretary Xu said.

Yang Ping walked to the door and knocked.

A middle-aged man's voice came from inside, "Come in."

Yang Ping motioned to Zhang Weiguo to wait a moment, then pushed the door open and went in.

Less than a minute later, the door opened again and a greasy middle-aged man with sparse hair walked out.

With a smile on his face, he said, "You must be Comrade Zhang Weiguo, hello. My name is Li Huaide, and I am the deputy director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill."

Zhang Weiguo thought, it was indeed Li Huaide.

"Hello, Director Li."

Hearing Zhang Weiguo calling Director Li, Li Huaide's smile became even brighter, and he secretly thought that Zhang Weiguo was sensible and not as rigid as a soldier.

"Come in, let's talk inside."

"OK."

The guest should follow the host's wishes. Whatever Deputy Director Li says is the truth.

When I entered the office, I found that it was even bigger.

"Comrade Zhang Weiguo, please take a seat."

Zhang Weiguo didn't hesitate and sat directly on the sofa.

"Section Chief Yang, please sit down too. Let's talk about Comrade Zhang Weiguo's work problems."

"Okay, Director Li."

Yang Ping sat down without expressing any opinion. She was just being polite about what Deputy Director Li said. If you took it seriously, you would be in trouble.

"Weiguo, can I, an old soldier, call you that?" said Deputy Director Li.

"Of course you can. I didn't expect Director Li was a soldier?"

"I worked there for a few years, then got injured and changed jobs."

"Weiguo, look, I've already called you that. If you call me Director Li again, it will seem awkward."

"That's Brother Li?" Zhang Weiguo called out tentatively.

"That's right. We have all served in the army. Although we were not soldiers of the same period, we are comrades-in-arms." Li Huaide said happily.

"I saw in your reference letter that you were injured. What's going on?"

"During a previous mission, a bullet pierced his lungs and he almost died."

Zhang Weiguo had a look of fear on his face. He had just recovered from his illness and still needed to recuperate. He could not handle any strenuous exercise.

Of course, these were all nonsense said by Zhang Weiguo. Now his health is better than ever.

Deputy Director Li knew the difficulty of this task as soon as he heard it. After all, the reward of first-class merit was still written on the recommendation letter. Considering the difficulty, Zhang Weiguo was lucky to be rescued.

Although Deputy Director Li had served in the army, he had never won first-class merit. It is too difficult to get first-class merit, and it was earned with one's life.
