Chapter 122: Get on the bus first, buy the ticket later
She thought for a moment and offered a sincere invitation, "Secretary Li, Director Zhong, would you both be willing to serve as Party Secretary and Director of our institute? Since politics is the key, please give us your approval."
Li Zhihua pursed his lips, a little tempted, but not quite right. He was the Party Secretary of the commune, and now he was meddling in someone else's research institute. Wasn't that a bit of an abuse of power?
Xie Yun took in his expression and said, "The Party leads everything. You and Director Zhong are the two highest leaders of Taoyuan Commune. You should be in charge of all activities of the commune. Moreover, you two are both so noble and upright. You only work for the institute and don't take extra wages. Who wouldn't praise you if they heard you say that?"
I'm even planning to ask our Party Secretary Yang to look after the gate of the institute."
Secretary Li: “…!”
Director Zhong: “…!”
The two looked at each other and did it!
"Since you say so, Director Zhong and I will put our names on the list and help everyone check things out."
Xie Yun clapped his hands. "Excellent! I thank you both on behalf of everyone else! So, let's make this a little more formal. I'll write the application documents first, and then you can give me your approval."
Secretary Li, who was about to pick up a pen and write a document, said: "..."
Okay, you’re pretty good at making things happen.
Xie Yun wrote a eloquent article entitled "Request for the Establishment of the Taoyuan Commune High-quality Wheat Seed Research Institute" in just one hour, detailing the necessity and feasibility of establishing the institute, as well as the progress of the poor and lower-middle peasants of the Liushutun Brigade in spontaneously preparing to build the institute.
Finally, he said, "Please approve whether the above report is correct."
The people asking for instructions are: all the poor and lower-middle peasants in Liushutun Brigade.
The date of signature is April 8, 1969.
Although the procedure has just begun, the time can still be brought forward to fill in all the loopholes.
After writing, she handed the "request document" to Li Zhihua.
Xie Yun's desk is located in the offices of Li Zhihua and Zhong Liangcai.
Li Zhong and his partner are also quite interesting. As the secretary and director of the commune, they should have their own independent offices. However, these two people do not follow the usual path and work in a large room. They discuss everything together, fully realizing the close integration of politics, policies and practices, and reducing the possibility of internal struggles and infighting.
After Xie Yun arrived, he was also arranged to work in their office, so he could chat with them at any time. It was so convenient to discuss things!
After taking the document and reading it, Li Zhihua couldn't help scratching his head. He had the illusion that he was doing something of national importance.
He handed the document to Zhong Liangcai and asked him to read it again.
Zhong Liangcai looked at the last date and said with a smile, "You really are good at making amends for yourself."
But it's not a big deal, it can be accommodated.
Since both of them had no objections, Zhong Liangcai wrote a "Notice from Taoyuan Commune on the Approval of the Request of All Poor and Lower-Middle Peasants of Liushutun Brigade to Establish a Research Institute for High-Quality Wheat Seeds":
Taoyuan Commune approved the request of all the poor and lower-middle peasants in Liushutun to establish a high-quality wheat seed research institute and decided to fully support the work of the institute.
The commune hopes that after the establishment of the institute, it will widely unite workers and farmers, establish a solid worker-farmer alliance, work together with one heart and one mind, forge ahead, and contribute to accelerating my country's agricultural development, increasing crop yields, and promoting agricultural modernization.
The date of signature is April 20, 1969.
He wrote two copies, one for Xie Yun to take back to Liushutun, and the other was filed in the commune.
Xie Yun received the document and said excitedly, "I'll go home and talk to Comrade Yan about the latest research progress, and then write an article about it. Although I'm just following the process, Comrade Yan's research is indeed ongoing. I'm absolutely not lying about this."
Li Zhihua smiled and said, "We believe this. You talk a lot about it every day. To be honest, I have great confidence in Comrade Yan's research."
Xie Yun kept complaining in his heart, "You are the one who is nagging! She has only been working for a few days, how can she nag to any extent!"
But she had a brilliant smile on her face, flattering him, "I knew the leader must have been confident enough to support me! Otherwise, with your principles, I'm afraid even if I talked my mouth off, it wouldn't be any use."
After collecting the documents, Xie Yun said to Director Zhong, "I'd also like to trouble you to write me a letter of introduction so we can go to the county to get an official seal. Since the institute is a legitimate organization, it must have its own official seal."
Director Zhong: "...Who will carve it?"
"Captain."
Director Zhong picked up his pen and wrote another letter of introduction: "I would like to introduce Comrade Zhang Guangzong of Liushutun Brigade to your unit to carve an official seal for the Taoyuan Commune Fine Wheat Seed Research Institute. Please contact us."
Originally, engraving official seals was the responsibility of the county public security bureau, but now that the public security bureau is gone, we can only go to the county’s political and legal group to do it.
Xie Yun smiled and said, "Thank you, Director Zhong."
Zhong Liangcai waved his hand and said, "We are all in the same boat now. This is a matter for all of us."
Xie Yun smiled and said, "Yes, yes, this is a matter for all the common people."
Zhong Liangcai: “…”
If we talk about climbing up the ladder, it has to be you!
That evening, after get off work, Xie Yun went out carrying two signs. Li Zhihua said, "I'll lend you my bicycle. You can carry them back. It's too tiring to carry them like this."
"Thank you, Secretary. You are such a good leader who cares about your subordinates. It is my blessing to work under you."
Xie Yun didn't bother to be polite with him. After saying this, he tied the two signs to the back seat, called Zhao Hongxia, and pushed the cart out the door.
After she left, Li Zhihua whispered to Zhong Liangcai, "I think Xie Binbin's greatest skill is her ability to make nonsense sound sincere. It's clearly flattery, but when it comes out of her mouth, it sounds like the truth."
Zhong Liangcai smiled and said, "It's not really flattery. You really care about your subordinates. What she said is true."
Li Zhihua said, "I know. But who among us would say something like that so casually? When I lend my car to someone, the most they say is 'thank you'. Who would say anything else?"
"No one has ever said that. Everyone is more reserved, but Xiao Xie is more outgoing."
☆
Xie Yun and Zhao Hongxia left the commune compound, picked up Zhang Ruifeng, and the three of them walked home together.
Along the way, Xie Yun rode for a while, Zhao Hongxia for a while, and the two of them helped to hold the bike, so that Zhang Ruifeng could learn to ride. They arrived home later than usual, but they had walked the same distance, just saving the energy of carrying things.
After returning to Liushutun, Zhang Ruifeng went home first, and Xie Yun took the signs to the brigade headquarters and placed the two signs and the documents issued by the commune on Zhang Guangzong's desk.
Zhang Guangzong said, "Oh my god! We actually have a research institute!"
Xie Yun said, "How could it be false? We've already said it, we have to get one, otherwise we won't be able to explain to our brother units across the country who support us."
Zhang Guangzong said, "Yes, yes, you're right. Fuguo, hurry up and call Comrade Yan Dongsheng over. Let's go put up the sign together. First, go to the experimental field and hang up the base sign. From now on, you must strengthen patrols and make sure to protect that experimental field and don't let anyone damage it. As for the night school, you must also properly decorate it and make sure the institute looks like a research institute!"
Zhao Fuguo and the accountant also came over to look at the sign, but when they heard what Zhang Guangzong said, they quickly ran out.
Zhang Guangzong asked her again: "Where did you get this brand?"
"The lumber mill is coming."
"Did you carve the words?"
"Yes, I borrowed a carving knife from the lumber mill and used ink from the commune."
Zhang Guangzong sighed: "Great, great! When it comes to getting something for nothing, you're second to none."
Xie Yun: "...very well said. Don't say it next time."
The accountant laughed like a pig beside him.
