Volume 1 Chapter 14 Getting to Know a Colleague
Director Li clapped his hands and everyone looked over.
"Let me introduce you. This is Comrade Sheng Wanyan. You will be working with us from now on."
"Welcome new comrades!"
"Welcome, welcome!"
Director Li is a middle-aged man around 40 years old. There are two female colleagues and two male colleagues.
However, everyone here is older than Sheng Wanyan. One female colleague is already married and has children. Her name is Niu Fangli, and she is already 30 years old.
Women of this age already have several children.
There is another female colleague who has just been married for two months. She is about 21 years old and her name is Wu Jiaxiu.
Two male colleagues, one of whom is also married, 25 years old, named Chen Kangming.
There is another one who just started working. He has been here for about half a year. He is a 20-year-old guy named Lin Jiehong.
The remaining two are Director Li and Sheng Wanyan. Her position is right in the middle near the right side.
Sitting in the front is Chen Kangming, sitting behind is Niu Fangli, and sitting next to the aisle is Wu Jiaxiu.
It was Sheng Wanyan’s first day and she was not familiar with the job, so Director Li asked Wu Jiaxiu to get some previous information for her to look at.
Sheng Wanyan looked at it seriously, and everyone was doing their own thing.
Everyone lowered their heads, thinking about the promotional draft. Director Li was going to a meeting, so he told them to work hard and left.
As soon as Director Li left, everyone stopped writing their manuscripts and gathered around Sheng Wanyan.
Wu Jiaxiu couldn't help laughing when she saw her serious look.
"Don't be so serious. We are all just slacking off in this department."
Sheng Wanyan looked at everyone. Everyone's eyes were full of guilt. Will this teach people bad things?
Everyone introduced themselves and told her about the Propaganda Department.
"In our department, we usually write promotional materials and post some notices on the notice board outside."
"There are only a few promotional manuscripts a month, and I usually find things to do to pass the time."
There is really nothing to do in the Propaganda Department. This department is very relaxed.
What the factory focuses on is efficiency, not how well the propaganda department’s promotional materials are written.
As long as people can understand it and the notification event is in place, it's fine.
As soon as Sheng Wanyan arrived, she was brainwashed by several colleagues, who kept saying things to her, making her decadent...
Sheng Wanyan didn't believe it at first, but after everyone interrogated and brainwashed her.
When the big guy returned to his seat, she was amazed.
Those who knit sweaters knit sweaters, those who eat melon seeds eat melon seeds...
…
This is simply using the money to support your retirement here.
As soon as Director Li was gone, everything went back to its original form.
Isn’t it said that people of this generation work hard to make contributions?
What's going on? ? ?
"Surprised?"
When Wu Jiaxiu saw her eyes looking around with disbelief, she knew that she had not yet recovered from the shock.
"I'm not surprised, I just didn't expect it."
She knew that this department was relatively quiet, but no one told her it was so quiet.
"Just get used to it. We all went through this in the beginning."
"Just don't get caught."
As Wu Jiaxiu spoke, she pointed in the direction of the door. As long as they were not caught by Director Li, nothing would be a problem.
Sheng Wanyan smiled and nodded. This day... is great!
She likes it!
But since she just arrived, she still needs to be cautious. At least make sure she doesn't fall behind in her work and doesn't give others a chance to criticize her.
Sheng Wanyan spent the whole morning reading materials. At lunch time, Wu Jiaxiu asked her if she wanted to go to the cafeteria.
"No, I brought food, enough for me."
Wu Jiaxiu nodded. After all, people nowadays mostly prepare their own food.
But Wu Jiaxiu is newly married and now has some money, so she wants to eat meat.
She has to eat more now that she has just married and her mother-in-law has not yet put pressure on her.
Wu Jiaxiu and the two male comrades went to the cafeteria to get food, while Sheng Wanyan and Niu Fangli ate the food they brought from home.
Niu Fangli secretly took a look at Sheng Wanyan's food. There were eggs and vegetables, which was a very rich meal.
It seems that this new colleague has a good family background. Look at the golden fried egg, it is obviously fried with oil.
Sheng Wanyan looked over and saw Niu Fangli smiling at her, then lowered her head and ate her vegetable steamed bun.
Sheng Wanyan took a look at her food and didn't care much about it. She was there to work, not to do good deeds.
After eating and drinking, go to the canteen entrance, wash your lunch box and put it back into your cloth bag.
She was so bored the whole day that Wu Jiaxiu took her around the factory at noon to get familiar with the route.
"This is our production workshop. Don't come here if you don't have anything to do."
"This is the cafeteria, this is the factory director's office..."
Wu Jiaxiu was a warm person and introduced things to her without any hesitation.
"Okay, I'll remember that, thank you."
Wu Jiaxiu waved her hand. After all, Sheng Wanyan was about the same age as her, and she finally had a colleague with whom she could chat.
Naturally she would be more enthusiastic, and their jobs are stable. If nothing unexpected happens, she will probably have to stay with Sheng Wanyan before she gives birth to the child.
And seeing that Sheng Wanyan was dressed neatly and cleanly, she should not be a petty person.
Sheng Wanyan followed Wu Jiaxiu to visit the cotton mill. When it was time to get off work, she and her colleagues were going in different directions, so they went their separate ways and went home.
The cotton mill closed at 5:30, and it only took her half an hour to get home by tram.
When Sheng Wanyan returned home, Grandma Sheng had already prepared dinner and was waiting for them to come back from get off work.
"You're back? How was work?"
When Grandma Sheng saw her come back, she kept asking about her situation, and Sheng Wanyan helped serve the dishes.
"It's good, the work is easy."
Grandma Sheng nodded after hearing this. She also had some idea of what the Propaganda Department was like.
After all, I have worked in a factory before, and the Propaganda Department and the Logistics Department can be said to be the best clerical positions.
It's a leisurely life with not much to do, which is most suitable for girls.
"That's good. Your parents are almost home."
Sheng Wanyan had just served the dishes when Sheng's father and mother arrived home. As soon as they came back, Sheng's father asked her if she was used to it.
Sheng Wanyan nodded and said something selectively: "It's very easy."
When Sheng's father and mother heard this, they thought it was normal. No matter which factory the propaganda department was, it was the easiest place to work.
"That's fine, go to work."
"Yeah." After finishing her meal, Sheng Wanyan washed the dishes with her mother. The family still had 10 kilograms of fine grains, so they were not short of anything for the time being. Her mother worked in a textile factory, so it was easier to get the cloth.
However, these fabrics are all defective and you can't tell the difference when you take them home and cut them. So they are basically consumed internally by employees.
The next morning, Sheng Wanyan went out with Sheng's father and mother, and Sheng's mother packed lunch for the three of them.
By the way, I kept the lunch of the two old people warm. After Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng had their breakfast, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things.
You have to go early to buy anything now. If you go later, all that's left are bones, which no one will like.
