Du Chen has caused a sensation in the entire living area this time. His last submission was successful and was spread among students and parents. This time, Du Chen has become completely famous!
"Lao Du, I heard your son published a book?"
Comrade Lao Du was busy in the repair shop when suddenly Mi Duan appeared behind him.
"Ah, Mi Duan, how did you know?"
"Everyone in the section knows about it! I've heard a lot of people chatting these past couple of days about how our unit's driver, Du Jianye's son, has published a book! The eldest son did the illustrations, and the second son wrote the story..."
"Lao Du, is what they said true?"
"Yes, Mi Duan, my eldest and second sons published a book together. The eldest son did the illustrations, and the second son wrote the story."
Comrade Lao Du speaks the truth.
"That's awesome, Old Du! How about this? I'll have the union approve you a thousand yuan as a reward for your two sons!"
"That's not good, Mi Duan. Taking money for nothing won't be good for you if others find out."
Comrade Lao Du quickly declined.
"Old Du, look at you, you're too narrow-minded! Come to my office and I'll explain it to you!"
Mi Duan took Comrade Lao Du to the office of the repair shop. It was called an office, but now it was just a reception room. This was Du Chen's suggestion.
It turned out that Comrade Lao Du did have an office, but it was small and shabby, and Lao Du rarely stayed in it all day. When Du Chen saw this, he suggested that Comrade Lao Du renovate it. After all, the repair shop now also accepts vehicles from the society, and everyone who comes to repair their cars must have a place to rest.
If conditions allowed, Du Chen would have wanted to put a pool table or game console in there. He had suggested it, but Comrade Lao Du rejected it.
"Mi Duan, drink some water. Please explain it to me. I really don't understand."
Comrade Lao Du poured Mi Duan a cup of tea and then asked Mi Duan.
"Hey, Lao Du, I haven't been here for a while. You've done a great job renovating it these past few years! It's not as small and shabby as before, and you even provide teacups and tea leaves. That's great!"
Mi Duan did not answer Comrade Lao Du's question. Instead, he looked around the lounge and then praised Comrade Lao Du.
"Hey, I was just messing around too. This was my second oldest's idea!"
Comrade Lao Du answered modestly.
"Your second son is a good one! Look, this will open up the space. Guests will have a place to rest, drink tea and chat. Not bad, your second son has a good idea! Or maybe we can publish a book! By the way, how old are your two boys?"
Mi Duan took a sip of tea and leaned comfortably on the sofa.
The sofa was also a piece of junk that Comrade Lao Du bought at the flea market. He repaired it and re-covered it himself.
"The eldest is in the third year of junior high school, and the second is just in the third year of elementary school."
"What? The second child is only in the third grade?"
Mi Duan was shocked when he heard this, and then he stared at Comrade Lao Du from head to toe.
"What's wrong, Mi Duan?"
Comrade Lao Du was a little confused.
"I just want to see if there's anything different about you. Is there smoke coming out of your ancestral grave?"
Mi Duan sighed and then made a joke.
"Okay, let me tell you something. I'm going to have the union reward you with one thousand dollars to show our company's care for our fellow workers!"
"And on a business level, you contracted the repair shop, improving the efficiency of the company's car repairs. On a personal level, you took good care of your family, raised two outstanding sons, and cultivated outstanding talents for society."
"What does this prove? It proves that, under the care of leaders from all walks of life, you haven't been forced to work or neglect your own interests. Don't you think this is the superiority of our system?"
Mi Duan didn’t explain it in too much detail, but he pointed out the essence of it.
Comrade Lao Du suddenly realized after hearing this, and felt sad in his heart that otherwise others could become big leaders and section chiefs, while he would still be a small worker.
"Thank you, Mi Duan. I understand!"
"Well, I understand. I'll find time to contact the publicity department of our branch office and interview you. This will also help us get our unit in front of the branch leaders. What do you think?"
Mi Duan took another sip of tea.
"No problem, Mi Duan, I'll do as you say!"
When Comrade Lao Du heard this, he knew that Mi Duan must have other ideas, so he agreed readily. First, Mi Duan treated him well, and second, Mi Duan was his backer in the unit, so he couldn't refuse Mi Duan.
"Okay, then I'll contact the branch's publicity department as soon as possible."
The day was over, the tea was finished, and Mi Duan stood up and patted his butt.
"Lao Du, you're busy! I'll go back to the office first! If you need anything, come find me in the office!"
"Okay, take care, Mi Duan!"
…
Mi Duan acted quickly, and within a few days, people from the branch's publicity department came.
"Come here, Old Du. This is Section Chief Wang from our branch's Publicity Department. These two comrades are also key members of the department! This is Li Yaning, and this is Zhang Junfeng. We're here today to interview you. You must cooperate with us!"
Mi Duan introduced Comrade Lao Du.
"Don't worry, Mi Duan!"
"Don't worry, Mi Duan, we won't bully your backbone!"
Seeing that Comrade Lao Du was a little nervous, Section Chief Wang made a joke to ease the atmosphere.
"Director Du, let's go! Show us around the repair shop! Mi Duan has been praising you a lot! He said that contracting the repair shop has brought a lot of convenience to the company! Our first stop today is to visit the repair shop."
Section Chief Wang spoke first.
Comrade Lao Du looked at Mi Duan and was about to speak, but Mi Duan signaled Lao Du not to bother with him, so Comrade Lao Du had no choice but to greet Section Chief Wang and his group first.
