Chapter 77 77 Commendation Conference
When faced with people who asked him to cooperate with the investigation, Pan Dingfeng just found it ridiculous.
What qualifications do the people from the Fengning Revolutionary Committee have to investigate him?
But the strong dragon could not defeat the local snake, and no matter how reluctant he was, he was invited to the Revolutionary Committee with frustration.
"I want to make a call." Pan Dingfeng didn't want to cooperate.
This kind of request was not unfamiliar, and Xiao Haifeng's subordinates were naturally aware of Pan Dingfeng's family background, but Director Xiao instructed not to accept any requests from Pan Dingfeng and to directly launch an investigation and questioning.
Early the next morning, Pan Dingfeng came out of the Revolutionary Committee with a tired look on his face. His face, which had just subsided from swelling, was gloomy. He turned his head, looked deeply at the Revolutionary Committee building, and strode away.
When he returned to the guesthouse, he saw Ding Nianjun waiting at the door with breakfast. His eyes softened and he quickly walked over.
"Dingfeng, I just went to knock on the door..."
"Let's go up first." Pan Dingfeng said in a hoarse voice.
After not sleeping all night, he was now a little tired and his throat was hoarse, and he didn't want to talk about what happened last night at the door of the guesthouse.
Ding Nianjun followed him upstairs, and as soon as they entered the room, the two young people hugged each other.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault..." Ding Nianjun choked up, "If you hadn't wanted to help me vent my anger, you wouldn't have provoked Ding Guo. If you hadn't provoked Ding Guo, there wouldn't have been these troubles. It's all my fault."
Pan Dingfeng: "I don't blame you. You did nothing wrong in this matter. My girlfriend was bullied. If I don't help to get back at her, am I still a man?"
These words made Ding Nianjun's heart flutter. She looked up at him affectionately, then stood on tiptoe and kissed him.
Pan Dingfeng's eyes gradually became hot. He picked up the person and walked towards the single bed next to him.
He felt bitter in his heart. He thought God was really blind. Why did he make his relationship with Nianjun so bumpy?
Even when it comes to the formal proposal stage, it is still full of twists and turns.
The proposal of marriage was finally made the day before yesterday, but the scene was a bit awkward, and I felt a little sorry for Nianjun.
Ding Nianjun was indeed wronged.
This marriage discussion made her feel so depressed.
It was totally different from the scene she had imagined. It was just a joke. It wasn't lively at all... Oh, that's not right. It was lively, but it was ridiculous. It was supposed to be a happy day, but it was first silently despised by Pan's father and mother, and then they were beaten. In addition, they suddenly heard the news that Deputy Director Qi was arrested, so the marriage proposal ended hastily.
Especially, the tall and handsome Pan Dingfeng was supposed to formally propose marriage to the Ding family in a cheerful and cheerful manner, but in the end, he said with a red and swollen face and gloomy eyes that he wanted to settle the marriage with her. This made Ding Nianjun even more uncomfortable. She wished that the plan that day would be invalid and wanted Pan Dingfeng to give her a formal proposal again.
It was just thought. Both of them were exhausted and wanted to get married quickly. She transferred her job to the capital, left here, and left the steel plant's staff quarters.
"I'll buy a ticket and go back later. Uncle Ding's matter is a bit troublesome, and my family needs to help with some activities. But don't worry, it won't affect our wedding date."
After a 'battle' ended, Pan Dingfeng hugged Ding Nianjun and said.
"Uncle Qi...what happened? Was it really Ding Guo who did it?"
Pan Dingfeng gently stroked her shoulders but did not speak.
Ding Nianjun was a little unhappy, feeling that Pan Dingfeng was not open enough to her, but she was smart enough not to ask any more questions, and considerately changed the topic: "You take a rest for a while, I'll go to the state-owned restaurant and buy you some food for the journey."
On the other side, Ding Guo walked into the food factory.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is like a watershed. The day before is bustling with activity, but the day after, production tasks drop sharply. Not only was the night shift quickly withdrawn, but all production lines also relaxed and were no longer as tense as before.
However, the employees were obviously accustomed to this situation and did not find it surprising.
"Everyone has bought everything before the festival, and spent all the money they had. Who has extra cake and pastry tickets? Everyone has to tighten their belts, so the factory will definitely relax for a while. It's normal. It's like this every year." Zhang Xing'er said to Ding Guo.
That's true.
Besides, after being busy for such a long time, we need to give everyone a break.
Taking advantage of this unbusy period, Ding Guo approached team leader Chen Xiufang to apply for materials and began making biscuits that were easier to store.
When Chen Xiufang heard that Ding Guo was going to develop new products, she naturally gave her full support.
But when Ding Guo said that the new product he was researching was rusks, she was a little surprised. She couldn't understand why. Aren't bread's characteristics soft and sweet? What else could it have if it became rusks? It would be better to just buy biscuits.
But as a qualified team leader, she would not discourage everyone's enthusiasm before seeing the finished product, and she signed the application form decisively.
Ding Guo has become very skilled at making rusks during this period. The only thing he had to adapt to was the different controls between the simple baking tray at home and the professional oven, so he only failed once and was more successful the second time.
I invited several colleagues in the group to taste it, and the feedback was good.
One of the female workers laughed and said, "When I first heard you talk about making rusks, I was wondering, do you need to make rusks separately? Can't you just make a few loaves of bread and let them air dry? I didn't expect you to broaden our horizons again. I am really ignorant."
Another female worker also smiled and said, "Juanzi and I thought the same thing. We didn't think about how delicious dry bread was. We just thought it was dry bread. Who hasn't eaten dry bread? It's not delicious at all."
Who would be willing to eat a few loaves of bread right away these days? They would keep them for a while, and then they would either grow mold or dry out. Naturally, the taste would not be as soft and delicious. We have all eaten dried bread, and it is indeed quite different.
Dante’s method is different, and the steps are quite complicated, especially the liquid she prepared, which she dipped on the sliced bread and then baked, which enriched the taste and was really delicious.
Chen Xiufang came over and tasted a piece. She was also very surprised and made the same exclamation as the other female workers. Then she stared at Ding Guo's head and said, "Tell me, what's wrong with your head?"
Why can't they figure out this trick?
After a round of tasting, when the third batch of the most perfect test products came out, Chen Xiufang rushed to see the director with the samples.
The next step is to submit it for approval, and the process is the same as other new products.
Even earlier than reporting the results was the commendation meeting held by the factory.
The commendation meeting was very lively. Before the festival, a technical competition was held, including individual competition, group competition and workshop competition.
Ding Guo managed to get fifth place individually thanks to the extra 10 points for developing new products. After all, when it comes to operating techniques of conventional products, she is indeed not as good as the old people who have been doing it for many years.
The rest was a group award and a workshop group award, and each person was given a pair of cotton gloves.
Her highlight is not in technical competitions, but in new product development.
At this stage, Ding Guo became the focus.
There is no other reason, the results are just too impressive.
There are three prizes for new product development. According to market feedback, the first prize is salted egg yolk mooncake, the second prize is black sesame lava mooncake, and the third prize is pork floss bread.
"There are only three places. If the evaluation is open, chestnut mooncakes and red bean milk bread will definitely be on the list, especially red bean milk bread. The sales data, market feedback and internal factory voting are only slightly behind the meat floss bread. I think they should be ranked together." Chen Xiufang said with regret, feeling heartbroken.
Well, it would be better to develop them separately, releasing three models this year and three models next year.
She felt heartbroken. Besides, the products that failed to make the list will definitely be on the list next year.
No, she would have to talk to the director and report those two models by the end of the year.
In fact, she didn't need to say it. The workshop director Liao Weiguo was also secretly thinking about reporting the red bean milk crispy bread by the end of the year.
There is not much hope for chestnut mooncakes, after all, the factory will not make mooncakes anymore. But with the momentum of red bean milk crispy bread, it will definitely occupy a good position in the sales ranking at the end of the year, and we must get a reward at least.
As for the rusks, although they are still going through the process, he feels there is great hope.
Here, Ding Guo smiled and told the team leader: "Keep your voice down, this is already very good."
There are three places in total, and all of them are occupied by the new products she developed. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?
Two new products from the pastry group and bread group 2 also obtained the qualifications for sale on the market, but the response was not as good as the ones she developed, so they did not make the list.
The team leader didn't take other new products into account at all. It would be so embarrassing if others heard this.
Chen Xiufang also knew that she had said something wrong. She smiled awkwardly and whispered, "Your performance this time is really impressive. All in all, you have a very high chance of being selected as an advanced individual or model worker at the end of the year. Keep up the good work!"
She was also very optimistic about the rusk, and her heart was warmed just thinking about it.
Ding Guo was officially promoted to first-level worker, and no one objected.
He also received a personal bonus for new product research and development. The sales of his comprehensive puff pastry improvement and two other new products that were not rated were also very good. After a meeting at the factory, Ding Guo was awarded a bonus of 100 yuan, which was considered an exceptional amount.
The people who helped her were rewarded twenty each.
This is just the R&D award. In the past few months, due to the high production tasks and good product sales, an additional bonus of five yuan was given on top of the salary for two consecutive months.
In addition to the bonuses, there were various tickets, including cloth tickets, meat tickets, cotton tickets, industrial tickets, and prizes such as enamel pots and towels.
In addition to individual awards, there were also selections for advanced workshops and advanced groups in R&D. Naturally, the award fell to them. There was no bonus, but only physical prizes such as towels, soap and enamel pots.
It is normal for prizes to overlap.
In short, Ding Guo had a great harvest. He had a stack of Da Tuanjie tickets and various tickets in his pocket, and was happily holding a bunch of things. He didn't notice the complicated expression on Su Dayong's face when he came back from a business trip and learned that Qi Guangming had been arrested.
Su Dayong returned to the factory the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival. He originally wanted to contact Qi Guangming after the Mid-Autumn Festival to tell him about the difficulties he was facing and see if he could say a few good words for Ding Guo. However, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, he heard the news that Qi Guangming was arrested.
He only found out about it when Qi Guangming's lover came to his house to ask him for help. He almost dropped the teacup in his hand at the time and even thought he was hallucinating.
After he calmed down and understood the situation, the first thing he thought of was Ding Guo's smiling but determined face, a face that would not give in.
At that time, he thought that her determination was directed at himself. If he took action against her, she would fight to the death. Now that he thought about it carefully, she was targeting Qi Guangming.
But she was an educated youth who had only been back in the city for less than half a year, and her family was an ordinary working-class family. Where did she get so much power?
But to say that it has nothing to do with Ding Guo... he doesn't think so.
It couldn't be such a coincidence that Qi Guangming was brought down not long after he offended Ding Guo.
He sent Qi Guangming's lover away and asked his friends to find out the truth. He broke out in a cold sweat and kept muttering to himself, "Qi Guangming is finished, really finished this time, and even the Pan family can't save him."
Then, just yesterday, he was contacted by the Revolutionary Committee, who asked him to cooperate with an investigation and asked him a few questions.
Fortunately, fortunately, although he and Qi Guangming have a good relationship, their involvement is not deep, especially when it comes to interests. The gifts they give to each other during the New Year do not meet the standards of bribery.
In the end, he was shocked. He thought Qi Guangming was just like him. He was not a good person, let alone a clean person, but he was not completely bad either.
But no one expected Qi Guangming to be so bold. While serving as a cadre of the Revolutionary Committee in charge of cracking down on speculation and profiteering, he was engaged in speculation and profiteering on a large scale.
Other people who engaged in speculation would at most resell some things and bills, but he directly opened a black market.
Not to mention other things that harm people.
He had also been bullied by others, but Qi Guangming…did he run a shoe factory? He actually bullied so many people, framed them and sent them to the countryside, or sent them to labor camps.
What shocked him most was the number of lives lost on Qi Guangming's hands.
He has also killed people. There are only a few soldiers who have never killed anyone, but those who killed were enemies on the battlefield, while Qi Guangming had an innocent life on his hands. The specific circumstances are still under investigation.
After learning about Qi Guangming's exposure, Su Dayong started hiding from the Qi family for the past two days, because not only Qi Guangming, but also Qi Guangming's brother-in-law was put in jail, and even Qi Guangming's lover began to be investigated.
He restrained himself again and again these days and did not ask Ding Guo about the situation.
What is he asking about? From what standpoint is he asking about it?
It would be best if Ding Guo didn't look for him and he did his job as deputy factory director, took good care of the factory's production, and held the exchange meeting agreed upon during this business trip, and achieved more results.
Ding Guo returned home happily carrying his things.
Adding the in-kind rewards she had received from the Second Factory before and the money she received this time, she kept some for herself and Ding Dayong, and saved the rest to be brought back to Dayong's hometown when he returns home to give to his third uncle and aunt.
To the villagers, these are rare things.
Not to mention that it is difficult for the villagers to buy these things, even Ding Dayong, a temporary worker, has worked for such a long time and has not brought back a jar.
However, he received his salary and gave Ding Guo five dollars.
He said that this was his mother's order, because his sister brought him out of the mud pit and arranged a job for him, and asked him to give his sister five dollars out of his monthly salary.
Not to mention that he is living with his sister.
Ding Guo was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and tried to refuse, but he couldn't win over this stubborn boy, so he had to accept it and save it for the silly boy, waiting for him to get married in the future.
Ding Dayong bought another bicycle and rode it to get off work every day after settling down.
I came back today and told Ding Guo that I was going on a business trip again. This time, we would go to the three northeastern provinces with two large convoys. It would take quite a while, half a month to twenty days to go back and forth. If the road conditions are not good, it might take a month.
Ding Guo gave another reminder.
Ding Dayong said, "Sister, I'm going to go buy some things with them this time. Do you want to buy anything?"
Ding Guo's eyes lit up immediately: "Of course I have to buy it. The dried goods there are very famous. No matter what it is, if you can buy it, buy as much as you can. If you come across someone selling ginseng and deer antlers, buy some too."
Ding Guo gave him a hundred yuan, which scared Ding Dayong.
"Sister, is this too much?"
One hundred dollars, that's a lot of stuff to buy.
"You can buy as much as you can within your power. If you really come across someone selling ginseng and deer antlers, this little money won't last you long."
She still kept it.
"OK!"
Ding Dayong did not dare to be careless. He sewed several inner pockets on his clothes and hid the money separately. After getting the money ready, he went to make dry food for the road, such as steamed bread, pancakes and fried pickles.
Ding Guo originally wanted him to fry two more salted fish, but Ding Dayong waved his hand and said, "Sister, don't bring salted fish this time. There are so many cars and people this time. I don't have to worry about the escorts, but the drivers will get together for dinner. I can't help but show my appreciation, but it's impossible to share them all."
So he only took steamed bread and fried pickles.
Fried pickles are very good. Many old escorts just pack two lumps of pickles and chew them while eating.
He also wanted to prepare like this, but his sister wouldn't let him, saying that the journey was already very tiring, and it would be prudent not to bring any good things with him. At least he could fry some pickles to have some oily food.
"Pack some rusks and sweet potato sticks and have them as snacks with your partner in the car."
Ding Guo had asked him to bring these two snacks before.
This time Ding Dayong did not refuse and said, "Okay, Master Han said that the rusks and sweet potato strips are very delicious. It's rare that Master Han praised the good things again and again. Last time, he couldn't bear to finish the rusks and sweet potato strips I gave him, so he took them back for his family to taste."
He said that the sweet potato strips made by his sister can be considered a precious item.
Ding Guo packed two bags for him and quickly bought some melon seeds and mints from the system mall for him to eat on the road.
The next morning, after seeing Ding Dayong off, Ding Guo went to work as usual. Because the production task was not so heavy, she caught fish all morning. At noon, someone came to call her and said that someone was looking for her outside.
