This is what Song Yan saw when he arrived at the machinery factory.
Wei Chunxi will soon be able to avenge his previous humiliation, so he should be in a good mood right now.
"Is this Comrade Song?" Wei Chunxi saw Song Yan. "Come, come, I just happened to want to talk to you about something. Come with me to the factory office!"
Factory Director Ge was in a good mood. "Comrade Song, how are your parents recovering?"
"Thank you for your concern, Factory Director. I will take good care of them and strive to help them recover as soon as possible. It would be good if they could return to their posts soon." Song Yan said respectfully.
"Look what a good kid he is, what a good comrade he is!" Wei Chunxi was about the same age as Song's father, and he spoke very kindly. "Considering your family's situation and that you really need housing, and that your parents are indeed having a hard time. We can't really do anything to an elderly comrade like that, but it would be better if they lived further away! So I suggested to the factory director that we allocate one of our apartments to your parents."
I wonder how Mrs. Song would feel if she knew that he had become the excuse for her second son to get an apartment.
"Song Huaren is a good comrade and fully meets the requirements for housing allocation. Deputy Factory Director Wei, please take Comrade Song to complete the formalities." Factory Director Ge also hoped that the housing issue could be resolved quickly, otherwise too many people would be eyeing this apartment.
Yesterday, Deputy Factory Director Wei proposed allocating the house to Song Huaren, and Factory Director Ge immediately agreed.
Song Yan repeatedly expressed his gratitude for the leader's attention and care.
The factory's top two leaders agreed to the matter, and once the formalities were completed, no one could object anymore.
As for the Party Secretary? He's gone out for training and might not be back for a while, so we don't need his opinion.
Wei Chunxi took Song Yan to his office, took out a blank housing application and a fully filled one, and asked Song Yan to copy them.
Song Yan filled out the form quickly and efficiently. Wei Chunxi paused for a moment when he saw Song Yan's name, but still signed and stamped it. "I'll handle the remaining procedures with the factory director and the general manager. Here's the key to apartment 302, unit 2, building 3. This matter will be completely finished this afternoon, and you can go see the apartment tomorrow. Did you hear me? Tomorrow!"
Song Yan understood Wei Chunxi's meaning: don't attract attention before the formalities are completed.
But it's almost lunchtime now, can it all be done in just one afternoon? Even though Song Yan had his doubts, he wasn't foolish enough to ask.
"Thank you for your concern, leader. I will be taking care of patients today and tomorrow and will not have time to go," Song Yan quickly replied.
“You’re a good comrade, genuinely serving the factory’s employees. But your parents aren’t good at arguing with people. If some people find out that you helped the factory through its difficulties but ruined their plans, I’m afraid Zhu Dalong and the others…” Wei Chunxi paused.
What did that mean? Song Yan was just a junior doctor; she really didn't understand the intricacies of office politics. She thought about it for a moment, then thought about it again. Did Deputy Factory Director Wei say that Zhu Dalong and his group would retaliate against Song's father? Or did he just not want others to know about this?
“My parents don’t know I know anyone,” Song Yan said tentatively to Deputy Factory Director Wei. “Their family is making such a fuss that they can’t go on living. It’s better to have as little trouble at the factory as possible.”
Deputy Factory Director Wei smiled. "What a filial and good comrade. Your parents are truly blessed! Don't worry, if they have any difficulties, just let them know, and the factory will definitely help them solve them."
Wei Chunxi told Factory Director Ge about buying the cabbage. As for how he bought it, Wei Chunxi didn't say a word.
Being able to buy such a large quantity of vegetables this season is something most people can't do.
No one expected that Song Yan was the one who made the connection, and the deal was done. Deputy Factory Director Wei wanted to keep it a secret and let them guess.
It seems Wei Chunxi really wants to keep this a secret. This is also advantageous for Song Yan. If the Song family thinks she's capable, they'll be eager to have her back! "The biggest difficulty has already been resolved by you. There's nothing else major. It's just..."
"Just tell me if you have any difficulties. Don't hesitate with me." Wei Chunxi is now most willing to help Song Yan.
"My vacation is limited, and I want to know the outcome of this matter before I leave. But it's not convenient for me to go to the police station to ask..." It's not that it's inconvenient to ask, but rather that asking from the factory itself doesn't give them the same confidence as asking from an individual.
“That’s easy to say. I’ll have the relevant personnel go to the Public Security Bureau to urge them on, and not only urge them, but also request that the Public Security Bureau handle this matter seriously.” Wei Chunxi was definitely on Song Yan’s side.
"Thank you, thank you, Deputy Factory Director Wei!" Was Song Yan happy? Of course! Ten words from him are not as good as one word from the factory.
"You child, from now on call me Uncle Wei." Wei Chunxi's attitude was so kind.
"Uncle Wei, I'll come to you if I ever have any difficulties in the future." Since the man had practically offered his leg, Song Yan naturally had to oblige!
"Sure, sure. I heard it from the person who came to see me. This was originally intended for the troops, but they managed to share some with us. The vegetables were really good. I even saw a lot of potatoes, and I asked him to share some. But... but... hehe... he wouldn't agree..." Wei Chunxi felt a little embarrassed as he said this. Wasn't this just pushing his luck?
The source they found for the cabbage is quite good.
The only treat Song Yan kept in the cellar was potatoes. Potatoes grown in the area surrounding J City were generally of poor quality, so they were never included in winter food storage.
If Deputy Factory Director Wei not only managed to get cabbage but also potatoes, that would be a very prestigious achievement.
The potatoes were displayed there to tempt Wei Chunxi. Such good potatoes, how could he not want them? But Cao Zhang's men, without a definite answer, certainly wouldn't sell the potatoes to him. If he wanted to buy the potatoes, he'd have to owe Song Yan another favor.
While Song Yan was alive, she could certainly support Song's parents, but what happens when she's gone?
Deputy Factory Director Wei, who owed Song Yan a favor, could just lend a hand!
"I didn't know there were potatoes! I'll ask about it later. I don't know if it will work." Song Yan smiled shyly.
"Good child, it's really tiring for you to go and ask. It doesn't matter whether this matter succeeds or not, don't feel guilty." These were truly Wei Chunxi's true feelings.
When Song Yan arrived in Nancheng, he handed Cao Zhang a message: "Of course, these potatoes are all going to the machinery factory!"
