Chapter 161 Chapter 161 Update tonight (revised)

Yuan Lan didn’t quite understand: “Everyone thought you founded Huacai Garment Factory to enrich your resume. After all, you have good grades, strong abilities, and a solid mass base, so your future is definitely very good.”

Don’t think that after Shen Moer resigned from the position of class monitor, it has always been Yuan Lan who has been the class monitor. At the same time, Yuan Lan also served in the school student union, and during this period, Shen Moer did not hold any position in the school.

But Yuan Lan is very clear that no matter in terms of grades or abilities, including the evaluation of school teachers and leaders, she and Shen Moer are completely incomparable.

In fact, the development of Huacai Garment Factory is too good.

There is even a saying in the department that Shen Moer has been laying the foundation for her career since she founded Huacai Garment Factory.

After all, although Shen Moer was a factory director before going to college, that was in Southern Province. No matter how good her grades were, they only looked good in her file. When she went to Capital University, where many talents gathered, everything was back to zero.

It was different to set up a factory in the capital, especially Huacai Garment Factory, which was built from scratch and became excellent. It was a small, inconspicuous social enterprise that grew step by step and defeated the state-owned factories in the capital.

While others were still trying to become class leaders or student union leaders in school, she had already left school and fought with the directors of state-owned factories in the capital.

With a resume like this, it was hard not to notice her.

She hadn't even graduated yet, but she had already received offers from relevant companies.

Shen Moer crunched the apple and threw the core into the dustpan, saying with a smile: "Thank you for the high evaluation, squad leader. Don't underestimate Huacai. Socialism can be built in any position. I can do the same in Huacai."

Yuan Lan rolled her eyes and asked: "Are you serious?"

Shen Moer nodded: "I'm serious. I plan to make Huacai the largest, most profitable and most creative garment factory."

Yuan Lan: "..."

Let's not talk about whether a garment factory can create creativity, just say it has the largest scale and the best profitability... Huacai only defeated the Capital No. 5 Garment Factory, not all the garment factories in the capital, okay?

However, Yuan Lan was smart and never questioned it. After all, they had been classmates for almost four years, and Yuan Lan thought she still knew Shen Moer a little bit. She was not a person who spoke without purpose and boasted a lot. On the contrary, she could often do more than she said.

After a moment of silence, Yuan Lan suddenly cursed: "Who is the shameless person who spread rumors outside?!"

Shen Moer raised her eyebrows: "In addition to good grades, strong abilities, and a solid mass base, it seems that I have other characteristics in the rumors?"

Yuan Lan was immediately amused by her: "You are not in a hurry at all!"

Shen Moer smiled and said, "Why should I be in a hurry?"

Yuan Lan nodded, and then her face darkened: "There are rumors in the department that..."

She frowned: "They said your father-in-law is the leader of the Ministry of Commerce and gave you the green light. You will most likely go directly to the Ministry of Commerce after graduation. Some even said that you are aiming for the position of Minister."

Shen Moer: "..."

She couldn't help but say, "My father-in-law is in the Ministry of Commerce, but the Ministry of Commerce is not owned by my father-in-law's family."

Yuan Lan waved her hands: "Anyway, it means that you can directly enter the Ministry of Commerce and call the shots right away through nepotism."

Shen Moer just thought it was absurd, but didn't care too much.

Facts speak louder than words. She had already made up her mind anyway, and the rumors would be refuted when the assignment was revealed later.

But within a few days, the department was in turmoil because of the graduation assignment.

Early in the morning of that day, a row of big-character posters were posted on the propaganda column downstairs in the Economics Department building

. The words were written in red on a white background, and the handwriting was sloppy and the ink was messy. It looked bloody, and scared the students who had gotten up early to prepare for a surprise review. After work, these big-character posters were taken away and sent to the meeting room of the department. Some people who were named on the big-character posters were also called to the meeting room, including Shen Moer.

Shen Moer was called here as soon as she arrived at the school. Compared with other people who lived in the school, they had heard some rumors in the morning. She came in from outside the school and had no idea what was going on.

Shen Moer was standing in front of the conference table, looking at the big-character posters on the table with interest, when the department head came in.

The dean had gray hair and a kind face. When he came in, he saw Shen Moer standing in front of the conference table. Seeing her leisurely look, he couldn't help but smile.

The big-character poster involved many people, including teachers and students. The others sat aside with gloomy faces, with expressions that were either solemn or angry. Shen Moer formed a sharp contrast with them.

The department head walked to the front and sat down, saying, "Let's not talk to everyone one by one. Everyone involved in the big-character poster is here. Let's confront them face to face." Everyone

in the conference room looked at each other in bewilderment. A male student from the second class of political economy was the first to step forward: "The big-character poster said that I relied on being a native of the capital to run around to get my job assigned to me since the beginning of the year. I admit that I did use a lot of connections, but it didn't work. My family is an ordinary working-class family with limited connections. I could have gotten into the units that they could help me get into through allocation myself, so I gave up later."

Everyone was shocked by this guy's bluntness. Seeing that the department head was still smiling after listening, they also began to speak one after another.

Those who are from the capital want to be assigned to a better unit, while those who are not from other places want to stay in the local area. Some of them make small moves, whether it is to find connections outside or to find teachers in school, but it is not against the rules.

Some of them are completely fine, they are just being slandered.

One by one, they spoke, and it was Wang Sanchun's turn who was hiding in the corner.

If it was not Wang Sanchun's turn to speak, Shen Moer would not even notice her. She was hiding in a corner, next to a table piled with documents, and if you didn't look carefully, you really couldn't notice her.

Wang Sanchun buried her head, her voice trembling a little: "I, I did give gifts to the teacher, a bag of apples, a piece of clothing... but the teacher did not accept them, the teacher never accepted them! I know it is wrong to do so, but I have no choice, I have no choice..."

She began to sob.

All the department leaders frowned.

Some of those people in front asked the teacher about the assignment, and some asked the teacher to plead for mercy, but none of them gave gifts... If they gave gifts, it would be bribery strictly speaking.

The teacher did not accept them because he insisted on the bottom line. If students who have not graduated give gifts or bribes... this is a loss of virtue.

The teacher in charge of job assignment sighed and said, "Wang Sanchun's behavior is indeed wrong. I have already criticized and educated her. However, she gave me gifts not to stay in the capital, nor to get a better job assignment."

She glanced at Wang Sanchun, shook her head, and continued, "Wang Sanchun is from Jiangsu Province. Although she once worked in the northwest, according to the policy, the educated youth have returned to their hometowns. Wang Sanchun will also be assigned back to Jiangsu Province after graduation.

But she told me that if she returned to Jiangsu Province, her family might force her to give up the job to her brother. In addition, her family might also It might force her to get married, so she asked me to help her get a job somewhere else.

Of course, she didn't ask to go to those good provinces and cities. In fact, Jiangsu Province is a good place. They have contacted our student office and are preparing to arrange for our school graduates to go to various units in the province. The allocation situation is still very good.

But classmate Wang Sanchun doesn't want to go back to Jiangsu Province, and she doesn't want to take up the quota of other provinces, so she wants to go back to the northwest. She said she is willing to exchange with classmates in the northwest. "

Wang Sanchun went to Qing Province in the northwest to work in the countryside. No matter what, the conditions in Jiangsu Province are better than those in Qing Province. In fact, she suffered a loss by exchanging like this.

Originally, these were Wang Sanchun's private affairs and should not be made public, but the current situation is that if she does not explain the situation, the department may have to punish her.

Wang Sanchun's behavior was certainly wrong, but it was excusable anyway. The teacher in charge had contact with her several times and actually felt a little sympathetic towards her.

The others were dumbfounded after hearing what the teacher said. The male student from Class 2 of Political Economy who spoke first could not help but say, "No, it's the last century now. How can such a thing still happen? You are a college student from Capital University. Your younger brother can't do the job you are assigned to. How can you give it to your younger brother? You are not going to work in a factory. Your younger brother can't do the work in the government! Besides, you are a highly educated educated woman. Even if your family forces you to get married, you can refuse if the conditions are not suitable!"

Although there are some who favor boys over girls in the capital, most female comrades are not so easy to control. Many of them will "rise up in resistance."

The male students have seen a lot of this and don't understand what Wang Sanchun is like.

Wang Sanchun hung her head and sobbed without saying a word.

The teacher in charge glanced at Wang Sanchun and sighed secretly.

"Who says that the love of a little grass can repay the kindness of three spring suns?" Wang Sanchun's parents named her after this poem by Meng Dongye, as if to remind their daughter to always remember her parents' kindness and repay them with all her strength.

And Wang Sanchun seemed to be trapped in this moral shackle and unable to break free.

Escape was the best way she could think of.

The expressions of everyone present were a little complicated. When everyone was racking their brains to get a better allocation, some people tried every means to get a worse place even at the cost of gifts.

There was silence for a while.

Then everyone's eyes fell on Shen Moli who was sitting in the front.

Shen Moer looked up, looked around, and said, "It's my turn, right?"

She picked up a big-character poster and pointed at a passage on the paper: "As a college student at Capital University, I don't agree with the statement that I am not doing my job properly and doing nothing. I have never failed a course, and my grades are mostly among the best, so my job is pretty good. As for doing nothing, you can't look down on Huacai Garment Factory just because it is a social enterprise. We are a legitimate production operation, just like the state-owned factories, contributing to the construction of socialism and making unremitting efforts to enrich the wardrobes of women in the capital. How can this be considered doing nothing?"

Others: "..."

No one would have thought that Shen Moer cared more about this.

Then, Shen Moer pointed to the following words on the paper: "Relying on the power of her husband's family to gather friends and set up small groups at school, this logic is totally unreasonable, gathering friends means having a good mass base.

And this, she has locked up a position in the Ministry of Commerce before she even graduated... In fact, I want to tell this classmate that not only the Ministry of Commerce has contacted me, but also the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, □□, and the Ministry of Light Industry have contacted me. According to this logic, could it be that I have manipulated these departments? Moreover, my father-in-law is a fair man who has always abided by the law and worked diligently. These rumors are slander against him."

After listening for a long time, everyone present realized that Shen Moer was not more concerned about that sentence, but that she would refute every sentence.

The key point is that when they were trying their best to get a better job, she had already received so many olive branches from good units.

This was not something that her husband's family had to do because they were powerful. It was because she was so outstanding that many people noticed her.

Suddenly, I felt a mixture of emotions.

What they didn't expect was that Shen Moer casually dropped another "bomb": "Originally, career choice is a personal matter. I don't think it is necessary to make it public. However, these rumors in the school not only affect my reputation, but also the reputation of my father-in-law. I want to clarify one thing here. I am not going to work in any of the above units. After graduation, I will continue to be the director of Huacai Garment Factory."

"Oh, by the way, by the way, Huacai Garment Factory will be restructured in the first half of next year and merged with Capital No. 5 Garment Factory to become a joint venture controlled by multiple parties."

Before she finished speaking, there was an uproar at the scene.

Whether it was the teachers in the department or the students present, they all showed shocked expressions.

I was shocked that Shen Moli gave up so many "good units" that everyone dreamed of and chose to return to Huacai Garment Factory. I

was also shocked that Huacai Garment Factory was going to merge with Capital No. 5 Garment Factory.

The key point is that Shen Moli clearly stated that she would continue to be the director of Huacai Garment Factory after graduation. Doesn't this mean that after the two factories merge, she will still be the director!

Capital No. 5 Garment Factory was originally large in size. Although it cannot be compared with the previous factories, it is still a state-owned factory that ranks among the top. After merging with Huacai Garment Factory, its scale has become even larger. I am afraid it is almost the same as the previous garment factories.

Being the director of a factory like this... in fact, to some extent, is not worse than working in the Ministry of Commerce.

After all, if you go to the Ministry of Commerce, you have to start as a clerk no matter what.

I don't know what the nature of this factory is. If it is still state-owned, then the level of the director is high.

"A small social enterprise swallowed up such a huge thing as the Capital No. 5 Garment Factory. Isn't there any cat's gum in it? Isn't there any relationship with the leaders of the Ministry of Commerce?!"

A sharp voice suddenly rang out.

The people at the scene only then discovered that there was a similar table full of documents diagonally opposite Wang Sanchun. There was a person sitting on a white stool next to the table. This person had been hiding behind the pile of documents. If he hadn't suddenly stretched his neck and stuck his head out, no one would have seen him at all.

He was a thin boy with acne all over his face. He stood up from the table and stood behind the pile of documents, revealing half of his body, with a sharp and angry expression on his face.

Shen Moer looked at him straight in the eye and said calmly, "The Capital Fifth Garment Factory is indeed a huge company, but they have been making losses in the past few years. The factory leaders made several wrong decisions, which has caused them to be unable to make ends meet. After the "power expansion", the autonomy of state-owned enterprises has increased, which also means that they need to bear greater responsibilities. If it were five or ten years ago, the Capital Fifth Garment Factory would have caused a lot of trouble. In the past, the government could have smoothed out the problems, but now it is not that simple.

She said, "There is a saying that only when the tide recedes can you tell who is swimming naked. After the reform and opening up, state-owned enterprises will face more and more competition. In the future, they will not only have to compete with other domestic enterprises, but also with foreign enterprises. Enterprises that are unable to adapt to the market will be exposed in this competition."

"You only see that the Capital Garment Factory No. 5 is a huge thing, but you don't know that it has been dying for a long time. On the contrary, the Huacai Garment Factory is the 'sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning'. What's so strange about new and more vital things swallowing up decayed things?"

"If you feel strange about this, I think there will be more similar things in the next ten or twenty years, and you will continue to be in a state of wonder."

"Of course, as a student of the Economics Department, I think what you should do is to face up to this change and use what you have learned to participate in and change this change."

"The world is changing rapidly. Big-character posters and the like should have left the stage of history long ago. Look at the world. Compared with getting a better distribution, in this turbulent era, we can actually do much more than this."

After saying this, Shen Moer gently put the big-character poster in her hand back on the table.

The whole audience was silent.

After a while, the dean sitting at the top of the class was the first to applaud: "Student Shen is right. In this turbulent era, there is still a lot you can do!"

After a few seconds of silence, the teachers also began to applaud.

The students looked at each other, and it was still the male student in the second class of political economy who applauded first and expressed his opinion: "You are right!" The

acne-prone male student blushed and stared at Shen Moer. After a while, he sat back in frustration.

The dean made a few final remarks, saying that the department would further verify what everyone had said today, and then asked everyone to go back.

When Shen Moer was about to leave, the dean called her, "Student Shen, wait a moment."

Shen Moer glanced at Wang Sanchun, who was slowly following the crowd out of the conference room, and said, "Dean, please wait a moment. I'll talk to Wang Sanchun and then I'll be back."

Then she chased after him.

Shen Moer called Wang Sanchun at the corner of the stairs: "If you can't go to Qing Province, or if you want to stay in the capital, you can consider Huacai Garment Factory."

Wang Sanchun covered his mouth and tears fell: "Thank you, Moer, thank you!"

When Shen Moer was walking back, she happened to meet the acne-ridden boy walking out of the conference room with his head down and dejected. When he saw her, the acne-ridden boy paused and said "I'm sorry" very softly.

Shen Moer looked at him, shook her head and said, "The courage to question is precious, but blind questioning is terrible. I hope you can use the spirit of questioning in a worthwhile place in the future."

The acne boy looked a little surprised, and then he was a little surprised.

In fact, she just said that big-character posters should have withdrawn from the stage of history.

She should have guessed that she was the one who wrote the big-character poster.

The department called him over and said that he would hear in person what those students who had been written big-character posters by him said. He thought he would see a group of panicked and guilty people. There were indeed a few like that, but overall it seemed like It was completely different from what he had imagined.

He clearly thought that he was a messenger of justice, but at this moment, he felt like a little clown.

Just because of some rumors he heard from others, he was filled with indignation and felt that the department was unfair in allocating work. In fact, wasn't he venting his frustration and dissatisfaction?

The acne-prone boy left in a daze. Shen Moli returned to the conference room. The department head and several teachers in the department were still there.

The department head smiled and looked friendly. He first exchanged a few words with Shen Moli, and after a few words, he showed his true colors: "Huacai Garment Factory and Capital No. 5 Garment Factory are merging. I heard that there may be foreign investment. This kind of joint venture with multiple shareholders is a new thing in China and is a good research sample. Coincidentally, we are studying economics, so Mr. Shen should not mind the participation of teachers and classmates in the department, right? "

Shen Moer: "..."

I heard that the department head is cunning and cunning, and it's true!

It seems that the rumors are not all false.
