Su Congjun and Wen Sisi returned to the county. After a day, Wen Sisi was a little tired, so Su Congjun first sent her home to rest. Then, thinking about what Su Qingyun said, he went to find Director An without taking a breath.
"Newspaper?" Director An was stunned after hearing Su Congjun's purpose, then suddenly realized, "Are you saying that your sister won the special prize in that competition and got our factory's name in the newspaper? Is that true?"
Although Su Qingyun made a firm promise to them last time, he didn't take it seriously at all. After all, getting a national newspaper to publish an article commending their steel plant was not a trivial matter, and it could even be said to be extremely difficult.
But that girl actually did it? Director An was quite incredulous, and then he was excited and thrilled.
If this were true, their steel mill would be showing off to the entire nation. What a great honor! This would be the first of its kind among all the steel mills in the county, city, and province, right?
Director An's heart was already burning with excitement at the thought. He couldn't wait to ask, "Which newspaper will it be published in?"
"Well..." Su Congjun scratched his head, "I'm not sure yet, but it should be awarded in the next two days, probably in the People's Daily."
"Okay, okay, I'll pay more attention to her these few days." Director An's face was beaming. "Your Su family has such a daughter. It's really a blessing to have such a daughter."
He also has a daughter, but she stopped going to school after graduating from junior high school. He could only get her into the factory as a temporary worker and let her take the grade test. After several years of taking the test, she is still a first-level worker. Compared with Su Qingyun, the daughter of another family, he is so envious.
Su Congjun smiled and said, "Qingyun is indeed the pride of our family."
"Congjun, you go down first and work hard. Maybe you will have a bright future in the future." Director An's tone was quite meaningful, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Su Congjun was also meaningful.
The last time Deputy Director Tang told him about Su Congjun's background in joining the factory, he felt that this young man would definitely have a bright future. What's more, he has a capable sister like Su Qingyun, and he himself is also very hardworking. Not long after joining the factory, he has already been promoted to a first-level worker and is about to take the second-level exam.
With such a background and a willingness to work hard, how could such a person not go far? Director An was a shrewd person. He didn't mind showing goodwill to Su Congjun at this time. After all, for him, there was no loss.
Su Congjun's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly realized something. Although he was honest, he was not stupid. He vaguely understood the meaning of Director An's words.
He and Director An looked at each other and smiled, and everything was said without words.
Su Congjun walked out of the office and smiled. Was he benefiting from Yunyun again?
Director An originally wanted to go to Deputy Director Tang to explain the matter immediately, but he changed his mind and decided to wait until the newspaper came out and then report it. After all, if he said it and something unexpected happened later, it would be his fault, so he decided to wait a little longer.
Newspapers are about timeliness. National newspapers usually publish major events concerning the country and people's livelihood, and they must be notified to all places as quickly as possible. Therefore, the speed of publicity and distribution of news newspapers is very important.
In order to increase the speed of distribution, national newspapers such as People's Daily will set up printing points in many cities across the country. Newspaper proofs are made into templates, that is, paper molds, and sent to various printing points by various means of transportation such as cars, trains, and airplanes to avoid the transportation of large quantities of newspapers.
This is a special way of distributing newspapers in this era. This method allows cities and regions around each printing point to see newspapers on the day of publication or the next day. Although it still seems cumbersome in later generations and consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, at this time, it was still a "business" that only a few newspapers with large circulations could have.
Director An has been thinking about this matter all the time. After Su Congjun told him about it, he couldn't wait to go to the mail room on time every morning, noon and evening to see if the postman had delivered new newspapers. Even the old man in the mail room was confused by him.
After two days, Director An finally got his wish. He held the black and white newspaper in his hand and looked at the lead type on it, feeling extremely excited.
He touched the words with trembling hands, and seemed to be able to feel the residual warmth and the rich smell of ink, which made Director An take a deep breath.
"Very good!"
In the newspaper, there was a palm-sized space that published news about the National Innovation and Invention Competition for Middle School Students. The first part introduced the general situation of the competition, and the latter part contained the commendation content. Due to space reasons, the names of the special prizes and first, second and third prizes were announced in the front, and as there were more places for the excellence awards, only the names of the team schools were announced.
Director An looked at the special prize at the top of the commendation column with a gleaming gaze. "The winners of this competition's special prize are Su Qingyun and Ji Yue, two students from Luoshui Town Middle School in Luoshui County, Luoshui City, S Province. Their design and production of a small agricultural seed drill received unanimous praise from the judges. We would also like to thank Luoshui County Iron and Steel Plant for its strong support for youth inventions."
He looked at the six words "Luoshui County Iron and Steel Plant" and his breathing became heavy. Really, the name of their factory actually appeared in the National People's Newspaper!
Director An took the newspaper and ran straight to Deputy Director Tang's office. Deputy Director Tang was just about to go to a meeting and bumped into him when he opened the door, and was startled.
"Old An, why are you so irritable now?" Deputy Director Tang frowned.
Director An waved the newspaper in his hand and said, "Deputy Director Tang, I have something urgent to discuss with you."
