With a creak, a jeep came to a steady stop in the alley.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Zhengguo and his family got out of the car.
Soon, the group arrived at the gate, where neighbors greeted them, and Sun Dajiang politely nodded in response.
When Lin Wencui saw that Sha Zhu was also there, she remembered the matchmaking matter and said something.
“Zhu Zi, go back and call your father over. Tell him I need to talk to him.”
"Okay, Auntie."
Sha Zhu didn't ask what was wrong, and got up to walk into the yard.
Soon, He Daqing brought his son to the Sun family's house.
After exchanging greetings and sitting down, Lin Wencui got straight to the point without beating around the bush.
"Uncle He, Zhu Zi asked me to find him a girlfriend a while ago. Well, I went back to the countryside today and happened to meet a pretty girl. I wonder if your family would be interested in dating her?"
After listening to Lin Wencui's explanation, He Daqing did not rush to express his opinion, but wanted to understand the details.
This made Sha Zhu, who was standing nearby, very anxious, and he kept kicking Sha Zhu's feet from below.
But He Daqing acted as if he didn't know anything, still with a long face, and asked calmly.
"He's an older woman, could you tell me more about it?"
“Of course, of course.” Then Lin Wencui began to introduce, “That girl’s name is Li Xiuxiu, she’s 25 years old this year. Because of her family’s bad class background, her education was delayed for several years…”
Through the intermittent explanation, He Daqing finally understood why this girl was still unmarried at the age of 25; it turned out to be due to her family background.
However, he really didn't care about any of that, because his own family wasn't much better off.
Besides, their own mentally challenged son is almost 30. If he can't find a wife soon, the He family will probably have to follow in Yi Zhonghai's footsteps.
Thinking of all this, He Daqing agreed without hesitation.
The group discussed it further and decided to wait until the end of the month to take Sha Zhu to the countryside for a blind date.
After finishing their discussion, the He family father and son left satisfied. Seeing that it was still early, Sun Zhengguo simply returned to his courtyard…
The next morning, Sun Dajiang got up early, washed up, and tidied himself up neatly, because today was his reporting day.
After finishing their meal, the group went to work one after another. Sun Dajiang waited until the very end before leisurely pushing his bicycle toward the power supply bureau.
Nothing happened along the way.
Ten minutes later, Sun Dajiang arrived at the power supply bureau again, that familiar yet unfamiliar place.
The reason he said he was familiar with the place was because he had worked there before.
As for the unfamiliarity, it was because he only worked there for one day, barely had time to warm up, before being sent to the far northwest.
Therefore, he had a very poor experience and felt no sense of belonging.
At this moment, the security guard at the gate saw Sun Dajiang pushing his cart over, and since he was a stranger, he stopped him.
"Hello, comrade. I don't see that you work for this unit. May I ask who you are looking for?"
Seeing this, Sun Dajiang simply smiled and casually took out a letter of introduction and handed it over.
"Hello comrade, I'm here to report for duty today, this is my proof."
The security guard took the letter of introduction, looked at it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, returned it to Sun Dajiang before letting him in.
Upon entering the power supply bureau building, Sun Dajiang, having been there before, didn't ask anyone and went directly to the personnel department, finding a staff member.
"Hello, comrade, I'm here to complete my onboarding process."
The staff took the letter of introduction, checked it carefully, and found that there was no information about Sun Dajiang, but the letter of introduction was genuine.
Faced with this situation, the staff seemed to realize something, and their attitude instantly changed 180 degrees, respectfully handing the letter of introduction back.
"Hello comrade, we can't process your onboarding procedures here. You'll need to go see our Director Chen yourself."
Sun Dajiang took the letter of introduction without thinking, still a little dazed.
If he remembers correctly, he processed his application here when he joined as deputy section chief a few years ago, so why can't he do it now?
So he asked, "Comrade, I'd like to ask if there's a problem with my letter of introduction?"
"No, no, no, please don't misunderstand, it's just that we're not high enough in rank."
After explaining, the staff member even kindly gave us directions.
"Thank you, comrade!"
"You are welcome."
After thanking him, Sun Dajiang followed the directions given by the staff and headed towards Director Chen's office.
Upon arriving at the office door, although it was not closed, Sun Dajiang still politely knocked.
"Please come in."
Upon entering the office, Sun Dajiang handed over the letter of introduction.
"Director Chen, I've come to report for duty, but the staff told me to come find you."
Upon hearing that Sun Dajiang had come to report for duty, Director Chen immediately took it seriously, took the letter of introduction, looked at it, and then appeared very enthusiastic.
"Comrade Sun Dajiang, don't worry, leave it to me."
"Thank you, Director Chen."
Although Sun Dajiang didn't know why Director Chen was being so polite, he figured it was always good to be courteous and he should express his gratitude when necessary.
After saying that, he took out two packets of tea and gave them directly to Director Chen, telling him to take them and taste them.
Sure enough, interpersonal relationships are important everywhere. Seeing that Sun Dajiang was so cooperative, Director Chen started talking about things in the bureau while filling out the forms.
It turns out that Sun Dajiang was directly appointed as the deputy director of the power engineering department because of his meritorious service and his status as an eighth-level engineer, and was even exempted from the organizational interview.
Then, Director Chen went through all the interpersonal relationships and precautions within the power supply bureau for Sun Dajiang, so that he would be well-informed.
After hearing this, Sun Dajiang couldn't help but sigh that these two packets of tea were truly worth it.
Because if you know some things in advance, you can avoid taking so many detours.
Twenty minutes later, the onboarding procedures were completed, and Sun Dajiang received his new work permit and cadre certificate.
According to past practice, Director Chen is no longer needed.
But Director Chen knew that Sun Dajiang didn't belong to any faction, and felt that he could be won over, so he decided to accompany him on another trip.
It's just a trial, a favor done on the side, and it doesn't cost much.
"Director Chen, I can't accept this. I'd really like to trouble you to come with me."
"Deputy Director Sun, you're being too polite. We're all colleagues, it's only right."
After saying that, Director Chen got up and led Sun Dajiang to the finance department to register and report the matter.
Then they took him to the power engineering office and found the director, Wang Guobin.
"Director Wang, I've brought you a capable assistant. You should know Comrade Sun Dajiang, right?"
Wang Guobin is not yet 50 years old. He wears glasses and looks very refined. He is also a tech-savvy person.
He had heard of Sun Dajiang, the deputy director who had been parachuted in, and knew that he was an eighth-level engineer, so he had an innate liking for him.
So when he saw people arrive, he was very happy. He stood up and stretched out his hands, and the two shook hands tightly.
"Comrade Sun Dajiang, we know you are very capable, and we've been looking forward to your arrival. Welcome, welcome!"
"Not at all, Director Wang, you flatter me. I will have to learn more from you in the future."
After exchanging pleasantries, the two prepared to sit down and have a detailed discussion.
Seeing that the person had been delivered, Director Chen naturally wouldn't stay long and took his leave.
