The next morning, after finishing breakfast, Sun Zheng'an couldn't wait to report to the Ministry of Machinery.
Since Sun Zhengguo did not stay overnight in the hospital last night, he had to go to report for duty alone today.
Sun Zheng'an rode his bicycle, feeling excited and full of anticipation for his new job.
Soon after, he arrived at the Machinery Department, showed his assignment sheet to the guard at the door, and after confirmation, was able to enter the Machinery Department smoothly.
After entering the Machinery Department, Sun Zheng'an did not wander around aimlessly like a headless fly, but went straight to the Personnel Department Section 1 on the second floor.
Upon entering the office, Sun Zheng'an politely said to the staff member, "Hello, comrade, I'm here to complete my onboarding procedures. This is my onboarding form; please take a look." As he spoke, he handed the staff member the assignment sheet in his hand.
The staff member took the allocation sheet and checked the allocation list. He immediately knew what was going on: another person with connections had arrived.
He didn't presume to be arrogant and spoke just as politely.
"Please have a seat and wait a moment while I process your onboarding."
"Thanks!"
After thanking him, Sun Zheng'an sat down in a chair and waited.
Before the staff member could write more than a few words, another voice came from the doorway.
"Hello, comrade, is this where we complete the onboarding procedures?"
"Yes."
The staff member didn't even look up when answering the questions, and continued filling out the forms.
Sun Zheng'an turned his head and glanced at it, then immediately stood up from his chair in delight.
"Brother Wenhua, you've been assigned to the Machinery Department too."
Today was Zheng Wenhua's first day reporting for duty. When he first entered the room, Sun Zheng'an had his back to him, so he didn't notice.
Upon closer inspection, he realized it was his friend's younger brother, whom everyone knew, and he was very happy.
"It's you? Zheng'an, I never expected that we would be assigned to the same unit."
Since they were in the office, the two did not continue their conversation. Sun Zheng'an simply nodded, indicating that Zheng Wenhua was right.
Seeing that the two knew each other, the staff figured they were probably connected, so they simply took Zheng Wenhua's form and processed it for both of them at the same time.
Sure enough, the staff checked the list and found that Zheng Wenhua was also a person with connections, and the two were even in the same department.
Just as the staff were engrossed in writing, another person came to report for duty at the door.
The helpless staff member could only take the form and glance at it.
You wouldn't believe it until you looked it up; what a shocking discovery! This is utterly outrageous.
This man named Zhang Yucheng was also a relative, and like the previous two, he was assigned to the Technical Section 1.
It seems there isn't a single normal person in this technical department. How can a department like this possibly conduct research?
However, none of this concerned the staff member, because he himself was no better off, being Director Liao's distant nephew.
Because Zhang Yucheng cut in line, the onboarding process was much slower, and it took more than an hour for the three of them to receive their work permits.
Sun Zheng'an was assigned to a vocational school and is currently receiving the benefits of a Level 16 intern technician. He will be promoted to Level 15 technician when he becomes a full-fledged technician.
Zheng Wenhua was assigned by the university and was entitled to the treatment of a Level 14 intern technician. Once he became a full-time employee, he could be promoted to a Level 13 technician.
As for Zhang Yucheng?
The three of them were not familiar with each other and did not know anything about his situation.
Having obtained their work permits, the three of them had the same destination: the Technical Section 1.
When the three entered the section chief's office, Zhang Yucheng didn't recognize Sun Zhengguo, but that didn't bother him.
Since Sun Zheng'an already knew, he wasn't surprised.
Only Zheng Wenhua was in shock. He thought he had mistaken someone for someone else, so he rubbed his eyes and looked again.
That's right, even if the young section chief sitting at the desk were reduced to ashes, he would still recognize him.
However, since everyone was an adult, Zheng Wenhua did not shout or make a scene, and now was not the time to ask questions.
After the three greeted each other, they introduced themselves again, and Sun Zhengguo expressed his welcome.
Then I introduced my colleagues to everyone, and finally assigned them desks.
After settling the three of them in, Sun Zhengguo called Zheng Wenhua over alone.
"Zhengguo, I still can't believe it. You actually became a section chief in the Machinery Department. Tell me, what happened in between?"
As soon as he entered the office, Zheng Wenhua asked impatiently.
Sun Zhengguo gestured for Zheng Wenhua to sit down first, then brewed a cup of tea before beginning to recount his experiences after leaving school.
After listening to Sun Zhengguo's story, Zheng Wenhua was filled with emotion. Fortunately, his leader was also his good friend. If Sun Zhengguo had been replaced by him, he probably would be watching from somewhere right now!
"Zhengguo, no, no, no, Section Chief, thank you this time. I was able to come to the Machinery Department, which is definitely thanks to you."
Sun Zhengguo smiled and did not deny it.
"As for culture, you don't need to say too much about gratitude. Also, in informal settings, please don't call me Section Chief. I still prefer the old way of addressing me."
"this……."
Seeing Sun Zhengguo's clear gaze, Zheng Wenhua swallowed back the words he was about to say.
My good friend is still my good friend; we've never become strangers because of the change in our status.
"Oh, right, Wenhua, I forgot to ask you something. When are you planning to get married? Do you need housing provided by your work unit?"
To stop Zheng Wenhua from dwelling on the issue, Sun Zhengguo took the initiative to ask about housing.
"Of course I need it. You know I haven't gotten married because I'm waiting for housing to be allocated."
"Don't wait any longer, because the house you're allocated now definitely won't be big."
Sun Zhengguo asked with a smile.
"I'm not waiting any longer. Unless I get promoted to section chief, there won't be much difference."
"Okay! Go back and write a report, and I'll try my best to get the maximum allocation for you."
"Okay!"
"..."
"..."
The two chatted for a while longer before Zheng Wenhua returned to his office and then called Sun Zheng'an to the section chief's office.
The two brothers were just going through the motions in the office, but Sun Zhengguo still asked about housing.
Sun Zheng'an simply passed the problem on to his elder brother, letting him make the decision.
After some final thought, Sun Zhengguo decided to postpone allocating housing to his younger brother until he became a cadre.
After talking with his younger brother, there was only Zhang Yucheng left. Sun Zhengguo certainly couldn't show favoritism, so he called him to his office as well.
Although this person is also a relative, the organization still needs to show the necessary attitude.
Through his conversation with Zhang Yucheng, Sun Zhengguo found that the man was not bad; he was also a college graduate and had a proper attitude.
Moreover, he frankly stated that he came to the Technical Section 1 because he was interested in Sun Zhengguo's technical skills and hoped to mentor him.
Sun Zhengguo welcomes all who are eager to learn, saying that as long as you are willing to learn, he is definitely willing to teach you.
Finally, regarding the housing issue, Zhang Yucheng said he wasn't in a hurry.
It seems he is very confident in his career path. Sun Zhengguo didn't ask him who his connections were. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, he's a good comrade.
The two ended their conversation in this pleasant atmosphere. Sun Zhengguo then assigned them tasks, wanting to see how capable the three of them were.
