A few days later, the reward arrived.
Qiao Changhai was rewarded 300 yuan for his bravery in fighting the spies, Huang Xing and Qiao Baozhu were rewarded 200 yuan each, and Bao Huihua was rewarded 50 yuan. All the above-mentioned persons will be commended through publication, and those who have work units will also have their units notify them of the commendation through a circular.
When the leaders of the bearing factory heard that Bao Huihua was a mute, they admired her strong will and courage to make sacrifices, so they arranged for Bao Huihua to work as a handyman in the canteen of the bearing factory. Her job was to do easy work such as wiping tables and sweeping the floor.
At that time, an eight-level wage system was implemented, but there was still a significant gap in wages among workers of the same level. The wages of front-line workers and technical workers are different. In the same factory, the wages of canteen workers are 10 yuan less than those of workshop workers.
Bao Huihua was assigned to work as a first-level handyman in the canteen because of his meritorious service, which did not arouse much jealousy.
A first-level worker in the cafeteria only earns 32 yuan a month. Those who are ambitious and have a bright future are all eyeing the workshop, because that is where the most money can be made.
But for Bao Huihua, having a job is like a pie in the sky.
She also has a stable job and will have a pension in the future.
The street police also sent a banner, and several of them were featured in the newspaper. Bao Huihua specially bought a photo frame and hung the newspaper in the main room.
The matter would have ended there, but on Bao Huihua's first day at work, Qiao Baozhu saw her photo on the bearing factory's bulletin board.
The propaganda column did not write much about the heroic deeds of Qiao Changhai, Bao Huihua and others, but it kept promoting how the leadership team of the bearing factory was grateful and sympathetic to the people at the grassroots.
The leaders stood in a row for a group photo. Bao Huihua was standing at the very edge of the group, skinny and small. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see her at all.
Qiao Baozhu stared at the photo on the billboard and felt like she was hit by a boomerang.
In her previous life, she was Zhao Haiyang’s public relations manager. No matter what he did, no matter how insignificant his achievement was, Qiao Baozhu would take a picture of it with her camera and publicize it for the world to know when she got the chance.
Jiang Zhen, the editor-in-chief of Beilin Daily, was originally an unknown little reporter. Since I met Qiao Baozhu, I have become her publicist. Zhao Haiyang's official position became higher and higher, and Jiang Zhen's status in the newspaper also became higher and higher. To some extent, they have achieved mutual success.
The bearing factory has a publicity department, so doesn’t the Huaguang factory have one?
Qiao Changhai has worked in Huaguang Repair Shop for more than ten years and has always been a temporary worker. After rebirth, Qiao Baozhu brought Shen Xiao to Huaguang in a very high-profile manner, letting everyone know that Qiao Changhai also had a background.
Later, Qiao Baozhu asked someone to buy a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes and gave it to Manager Xie as a gift. It has only been over a month since Qiao Changhai was promoted to a full-time employee.
If Qiao Baozhu wanted the old man to raise his salary further, she could only learn from the bearing factory's method.
She found Jiang Zhen, the reporter who served her in her previous life, and learned that he was greedy, money-loving and vain. I bought two kilograms of White Rabbit milk candy, a roll of film and two copies of Great Unity, and asked him to visit the Huaguang Factory.
In this life, Jiang Zhen is still a young newspaper reporter who has never been taken seriously. My daily job is to serve tea, water and lunch boxes to my old colleagues, make them happy and teach them something useful.
When Qiao Baozhu found him, Jiang Zhen was so surprised and happy that his legs were shaking uncontrollably.
"Reporter Jiang, don't be nervous. This is easy to do. Just take this newspaper to the Propaganda Department of Huaguang General Factory and find someone. Just say that the old man mentioned here is the old hero who bravely fought against the spies and saved the lives of hundreds of people in the bearing factory. The old hero has worked in Huaguang for more than ten years. I want to ask him which workshop he is in."
"Don't worry about the rest. The people at Huaguang Factory will help you write a beautiful manuscript."
Jiang Zhen was a little bit unconvinced, because he was the reporter and the person being interviewed was an old worker from Huaguang Factory. The leaders of Huaguang Factory can only help find people at most, so why would they rush to write the interview transcript?
He was skeptical about what Qiao Baozhu said, but for the sake of the White Rabbit candy and the film, Jiang Zhen bravely made the trip.
Unexpectedly, the process went even smoother than Qiao Baozhu had said. The people at Huaguang Factory not only took over his interview manuscripts, but also helped him take more than a dozen beautiful photos.
Qiao Changhai was injured in a fight with the spies. Reporters used him as a breakthrough point and reported and praised him extensively.
The factory director, secretary, and director of the propaganda department went to see Qiao Changhai with freshly written award certificates, rice, flour, soybean oil, and sugar, and with drums and gongs beating.
The leaders stood side by side holding the banner given to Qiao Changhai by the street police, and took a group photo with great joy.
Not only that, Huaguang Factory also held a commendation meeting. The deputy factory director recounted how many watches Qiao Changhai had repaired, how many radios he had saved, and some miscellaneous machines that could not be repaired elsewhere during his more than ten years of hard work in the frontline position.
"I know Old Qiao best. He is the last disciple of Engineer Liang. Engineer Liang Huaiyuan is a well-known technical expert in our city. After Engineer Liang retired, all the difficult and complicated cases sent to Huaguang Repair Shop were solved by Old Qiao."
Qiao Changhai, who had been a temporary worker for more than ten years and had only been a regular employee for a month, became an unknown and selfless sweeping monk in the eyes of the deputy factory director.
Jiang Zhen took three Great Unity cards from Qiao Baozhu, intending to return the favor. When he was at Qiao's house, he asked the director of Huaguang Factory with a smile in front of a large group of neighbors who were watching the excitement.
"The old hero is so skilled, what's his rank in the factory and how much is his salary?"
With just one sentence from him, the director of Huaguang Factory became autistic. He looked at the secretary for a long time, and the secretary looked at the staff of the Propaganda Department.
The propaganda officer stepped forward and assured, "Old Qiao is a low-key person who doesn't fight or compete. He is a well-known good guy in the factory. The repair shop is in the city center. Comrades usually don't have time to go back to the factory and have missed several assessments."
"But Lao Qiao's situation is special, so we'll make special arrangements. We'll arrange for someone to conduct the sixth-level work transfer assessment in the next two days. As long as Lao Qiao can pass the test, his previous salary will be paid in full."
Qiao Changhai learned a craft from Liang Gong and did not receive any salary during his three years as an apprentice. I started working as a temporary worker at Huaguang Repair Shop in my fourth year, and this year is already my ninth year.
The salary for a level six worker is 81.68 yuan. Even if he doesn't have to make up for the previous salary, Qiao Changhai will be satisfied with this amount of money in the future.
For him, the assessment for level 6 worker was a piece of cake and he passed it with ease.
On the afternoon of the day when the Beilin Daily was published, the Finance Office of Huaguang Factory notified Qiao Changhai to go over and sign to get the money.
Because of the ghostly follow-up interviews by reporter Jiang Zhen, the leadership team of Huaguang Factory decided to promote Qiao Changhai to a higher level every two years. This would not only be worthy of Qiao's professional level, but also give an explanation to other technical workers.
Qiao Changhai worked as a temporary worker for 9 years, earning only 20 yuan a month.
According to the unwritten rules of this era, first-level workers would automatically be promoted to second-level workers in the second year. That is to say, one year's salary for first-level workers, and two years' salary for second-level, third-level, fourth-level, and fifth-level workers.
First-level workers: 35, second-level workers: 41, third-level workers: 49, fourth-level workers: 58.5, fifth-level workers: 69.34…
The total amount of nine years' salary compensation was 3,608.16 yuan.
With a huge sum of 3,600 yuan in his pocket, Qiao Changhai left Guanghua Factory amid a group of envious, jealous, greedy and malicious eyes.
Within two days, another big news happened at Huaguang Factory that shocked the entire city.
Qiao Changhai, the popular spy-catching hero, was robbed. The huge sum of 3,600 yuan he had just received was stolen...
