Chapter 52 Opposition
After leaving the tailor shop, Ye Qian went to a state-owned restaurant and had dinner. She also packed a few meals for herself and put them in her space so she could eat them at any time.
After packing, Ye Qian went straight back to the dormitory, ate a palm-sized piece of strawberry cake, and went to sleep.
He never forgets to smack his lips before going to bed. Cakes from later generations are still delicious.
Have a good night.
The next morning, Ye Qian arrived at the union office on time.
Chen Xiaoling and Jiang Xia have also arrived, and both of them smiled when they saw me.
Chen Xiaoling smiled and thanked him, "Thank you for the specialties. You still have time to buy things even though you are so busy with your studies."
Ye Qian explained, "I bought it just before I got on the train. My studies are fine, but I can't really go out."
After a few people chatted and laughed, Jiang Xia told Ye Qian a piece of news: "You were away a few days ago, so you didn't know. The grain factory is planning to recruit a group of outstanding employees into the party and asked each department to submit their names. Sister Wang recommended you. You performed so well during your study abroad this time, it seems that this is a done deal."
Ye Qian was surprised: "Really?"
Jiang Xia nodded: "Of course it's true. I guess Sister Wang will call you over later. Although she has registered your name, you still have to write an application to join the party."
Ye Qian felt that she only had a junior high school education now and would not be upgrading her academic qualifications in the next 10 years. After all, she was planning to go to college in 10 years. It would naturally be better if she could have a Party member by her side.
After hearing Jiang Xia's words, Ye Qian had just sat down in her seat when Wang Juan came to the office to call her.
Wang Juan said to Ye Qian, "Xiao Ye, come to my office."
Ye Qian immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll be right there."
He then stood up and put the cap on his pen.
Before leaving, Ye Qian glanced at Jiang Xia, and Jiang Xia raised her eyebrows.
After Ye Qian arrived at Wang Juan's office, she asked, "Sister Wang, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Wang Juan sat him down first, then said, "Well, our factory is planning to recruit a group of outstanding employees to join the Party. I've put your name on the list. Go back and write an application, and submit it to me ideally this afternoon. The application will be announced at the same meeting as the first place winners of your study tours, so we're pressed for time."
Ye Qian said happily, "Okay, Sister Wang. I'll give it to you when I go to work this afternoon."
Sister Wang nodded: "Okay, you go to work first."
After Ye Qian returned to the office.
Jiang Xia asked excitedly, "Is he talking to you about joining the Party?"
Ye Qian nodded with a smile on her face and said, "Yes, they asked me to submit my application to join the party this afternoon. They said that my application to join the party will be announced together with the award I won, so I am very pressed for time."
Chen Xiaoling said, "That's great. No one will object now."
Ye Qian was puzzled: "Why is there opposition to joining the party?"
Jiang Xia explained, "Yes, the factory now requires democracy. Joining the Party also requires the consent of the workers below. One or two objections wouldn't be a big deal, but if they all oppose, then there's no hope."
Chen Xiaoling nodded and said, "Yes, but you have brought honor to the grain factory this time, so don't worry."
Jiang Xia was delighted: "This is just a good thing to do together, so there's no point in objecting."
Ye Qian nodded: "Yes, thank you for telling me so much."
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "What's there to thank me for?"
Chen Xiaoling: "That's right, you're so polite."
After that, the three of them started to work.
Ye Qian also began to write her application to join the party. She finished it very quickly in half an hour.
An application does not require too many words, about 200 words will be enough. I considered it for a while before I started writing.
After Ye Qian finished writing, she sat for a while and then it was time for lunch.
The three of them went to the cafeteria together. After Ye Qian came back from studying, the news that she had won first place spread like wildfire. Everyone became more enthusiastic when they saw Ye Qian.
They are the ones who bring honor to our grain production, so we must be more enthusiastic.
After work in the afternoon, Ye Qian handed the application form to Wang Juan and started other work.
This week's factory newspaper will be published tomorrow, and it must be written today, so Ye Qian was busy for another afternoon.
Before leaving get off work, I gave the manuscript I wrote today to Wang Juan for review, and Wang Juan told me to just post it the next day.
Time passed like this, and soon the day of the meeting arrived.
Meeting time: Monday at 2 p.m.
Meeting place: cafeteria.
Meeting participants: All employees of the grain factory.
After the meeting started, the first thing discussed was the study session. Ye Qian, Wang Xinmei and Li Yue were also invited to the stage to talk about their thoughts after a week of study.
Ye Qian wrote the manuscript in advance and handed it to Wang Xinmei.
Wang Xinmei was originally responsible for taking care of our studies this time, so it is appropriate to hand it over to her.
Moreover, today I won an award and was admitted to the party. It would not be good to be too prominent.
Wang Xinmei didn't expect that Ye Qian would just write the manuscript and ask her to read it.
After all, during this study, Ye Qian was the one who did all these things.
This action made Wang Xinmei like Ye Qian even more and she felt that Ye Qian was really smart.
After Wang Xinmei finished reading the script, the audience applauded.
The factory manager also came up to present us with prizes.
Each person gets a bar of soap and a towel.
These things were prepared by the union, so Ye Qian knew that the three of them left the stage after receiving the awards.
Next comes the process of joining the party.
There were a total of 10 people joining the party this time, including Ye Qian and Li Yue.
After a group of 10 people came on stage, voices of opposition began to emerge from the audience.
In particular, there was a front-line worker named Zhang Chao working in the second workshop who expressed particularly strong opposition.
Hearing the workers below talking to each other, Ye Qian roughly understood that this worker was usually lazy at work, coming in late and leaving early.
Everyone was already dissatisfied, but because he was the nephew of the director of the second workshop, no one dared to say anything.
What if the leader holds a grudge against you and tries to make things difficult for you after hearing this?
It would be fine if this guy was just lazy and sloppy, but the key is his bad character. Relying on the fact that he is the nephew of the workshop director, he acts arrogantly in the factory, asking people to pour him water, get him food, and help him with his work, while he sits on a chair with his back turned and watches. Even in capitalism, there is no such behavior. Such a person can actually join the party, and he has only been in the factory for 3 months and has not yet been converted to a regular employee.
All kinds of dissatisfied voices came out from the workers below, and the voices became louder and louder.
Everyone was actually waiting for this day. One person said that it would offend the leader, but all the employees said that it was the leader's problem.
At this time, the workshop director of the second workshop himself did not expect that this nephew would rely on his connections to act so arrogantly in the factory.
He couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead, knowing in his heart that this matter could not be resolved amicably, and it was not certain whether he could keep his job.
Thinking of this, he turned around and glared at his little nephew. None of these relatives were worry-free.
At this time, people below shouted, "I object, I object."
Zhang Chao didn't expect things to develop like this. He thought they would be afraid of his uncle. After all, he was their leader and they all had to make a living under his uncle.
Chao Zhang himself felt that he was doomed.
