It seems that this girl is quite lucky. Although she is on secondment, there is still a lot of room for maneuver, Gu Xingfan thought to himself.
"Thank you, Uncle Sun. My friend is counting on you!"
"It's not difficult to say a few words for your friend, but - you have to tell me who your friend is, right? It can't be the girl you were with in the cafeteria today, right?"
Seeing the teasing expression on Director Sun's face, Gu Xingfan frowned: "Uncle Sun, you are really well-informed! But don't say anything nonsense. The girl saved my life. Socialist brotherhood must not be tarnished!"
Listening to Gu Xingfan's confident words, Director Sun looked at him quietly, with disbelief written all over his face.
"Hmm, cough!" Gu Xingfan cleared his throat. "I'm not very familiar with the Propaganda Department. Uncle, can you go and tell her about it? She's Comrade Lin Yanbai from the Spinning Department. Um—cough, she's a good comrade..."
Looking at Director Sun's eyes that saw through everything, he felt that he could not continue speaking. He hurriedly said "I'm in trouble" and turned around to leave Director Sun's office. For some reason, he felt a little hot on his face.
Director Sun was very efficient, and Lin Yanbai soon received a secondment notice from the Propaganda Department.
It seems that Gu Xingfan is quite efficient. It turns out that she has chosen the right person. Lin Yan walked towards the Propaganda Department happily.
"Knock, knock, knock!" There was a knock on the door in the quiet office. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction of the sound.
"Hello, everyone. I'm on secondment from the spinning department of our textile factory. My name is Lin Yanbai. Please take care of me in the next period of time." Lin Yanbai showed his standard smile again.
"Oh, you must be Comrade Lin from the spinning department! We've all been waiting for you!" Chen Zhaodi said as she stepped forward, took Lin Yanbai's hand, and looked her over carefully. "Look how pretty this girl is! You can tell she's a capable person!"
Then he pulled Lin Yanbai to the inner door of the office and said, "Sister, go in and report to Director Zhang first. Our director is a very nice person!"
It was obvious that Director Zhang Jianping of the Propaganda Department seemed not very satisfied with her as a relative of the airborne soldiers. He only responded indifferently when he saw her. Lin Yanbai guaranteed that he never even looked at her, let alone arranged a job for her.
However, this was also within Lin Yanbai's expectations. After all, people with connections are hated by everyone in modern times, let alone these days.
After all, Lin Yanbai has also worked hard in modern society, so she knows the ins and outs of it quite well. She quickly made a series of plans in her mind.
No leader would hate a capable and discerning subordinate. Looking at the people busy in the office, Lin Yanbai did not rashly ask if he could help.
She first boiled a pot of water and added a cup of water to everyone who was busy. As the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling person. With this insignificant thing, Lin Yanbai quickly gained popularity among her colleagues. Lin Yanbai called this: boiling water diplomacy!
In just one morning, Lin Yanbai had already gained a general understanding of the situation in the Propaganda Department. For example, the older sister who spoke to her when she first arrived was named Chen Zhaodi, a veteran figure in the Propaganda Department and a very enthusiastic person.
For example, National Day is coming soon, and the Propaganda Department plans to organize some large-scale activities. In addition, there are some small activities in normal times, such as making blackboard newspapers, so there are not enough people, so they are seconded from various departments.
However, the original plan was to second only three people, but Lin Yanbai, who was related to the airborne troops, ended up being included, so the department seconded a total of four people this time.
The other three had already reported in one after another, with Lin Yanbai being the last. However, it's worth mentioning that among the four, only Lin Yanbai was transferred from the workshop.
No wonder Director Zhang looked like he couldn't stand her. He probably thought she was a big fool with some connections!
However, true gold needs fire to be refined. Lin Yanbai doesn’t think that he is worse than others. Let’s wait and see what happens!
For several days, Lin Yanbai just did odd jobs in the Propaganda Department. The good thing was that other colleagues would occasionally ask her to help organize some information, copy some articles, etc.
It's not that there has been no progress at all. At least now everyone in the Propaganda Department knows that Lin Yanbai has beautiful handwriting.
Soon, one day, the opportunity came.
The Propaganda Department changes the blackboard newspaper every half a month for propaganda work. Sister Chen is usually in charge of this matter in the department, but she has taken leave for the past two days due to family matters.
Everyone else in the department was busy with work and had no time to spare, but they couldn't leave it unattended, so this arduous task fell on the seconded students Lin Yanbai and Zeng Yue.
That’s right, of the two comrades on secondment, Lin Yanbai was chosen purely because of her good handwriting, while Zeng Yue was chosen purely because of her strength.
She was seconded from the Finance Department, and her colleagues in the department all believed that among the four of them, Zeng Yue would most likely be the one to be kept.
No one thought that Lin Yanbai would be the one staying in the end. Although everyone liked her, Director Zhang's dissatisfaction with her was also well known, so everyone thought that she was just happy to have a few days' trip to the Propaganda Department, and in the end she would have to return to the workshop in disgrace.
It was obvious that Comrade Zeng Yue, who was highly expected, didn't seem to like her very much. He didn't even look at her and walked to the blackboard and started working.
Lin Yanbai shrugged. She had noticed during their interactions over the past two days that this girl was very proud and arrogant. She looked down on her for having a backdoor deal. At least she hadn't said a word to her in the past few days.
What Lin Yanbai didn't expect was that it was such a coincidence that just when she finished wiping the blackboard and was about to start, Zeng Yue was called away again. She was told that there was a document that was not complete. This work was handled by Zeng Yue, and she needed to check it quickly.
Compared with this matter, the small task of making a blackboard newspaper is naturally insignificant. As soon as Zeng Yue left, this task fell on Lin Yanbai.
But Lin Yanbai didn't think it was insignificant. As soon as she left, the blackboard became Lin Yanbai's world. It is said that the smaller the matter, the more it can reveal a person's ability.
Lin Yanbai thought about it carefully. The content of the blackboard newspaper is usually factory rules, quotations from great men, social news and the like, and few workers would stop to watch.
Lin Yanbai thought that he could write some short stories based on this, and the protagonists could be the workers in the factory, praising the excellent qualities of contemporary worker comrades.
After having the idea in his mind, Lin Yanbai officially started working. For someone who was born and raised under the red flag, making a blackboard newspaper is no small matter.
