Due to her outstanding performance at the May Day Gala and the successful publication of her paintings and articles in Kyoto Pictorial, Lin Siya was seconded to the Propaganda Department of the textile factory.
That's right, it's a secondment! Lin Siya originally thought that she would be transferred directly to the Propaganda Department, but she didn't expect that, one reason being that the Propaganda Department was not short of people, and adding one more person would be a bit redundant, and the other reason was that the Finance Department really didn't want to let anyone go.
After all, Lin Siya has fully mastered various financial skills, and even the financial forms she made before have been adopted by major factories, supply and marketing cooperatives and other places. In Director He's view, Lin Siya is a complete financial talent. How could she be willing to let go of such a talent?
As for secondment, it doesn’t matter. After all, it’s just loaned out, and once loaned out, it must be returned.
Lin Siya didn't care about this. She originally wanted to work in the Propaganda Department, and she had done so many things before just to be able to join the Propaganda Department.
But after spending a few months in the Finance Department, he found it quite interesting and learned a lot of knowledge. The most important thing is that he got along well with his colleagues in the Finance Department. Although a few of them might have some ulterior motives, they were all okay on the surface, which made him like it even more.
In his previous life, he had no experience of working life, but he had read a lot of novels, movies and TV series. Those workplace struggles were comparable to palace fighting. If someone like her entered the workplace, she might be cheated and nothing would be left.
So Lin Siya feels very lucky to have met this group of colleagues, but she doesn't know what the Propaganda Department is like.
As for why he was seconded to the Propaganda Department, it was because a staff member in the Propaganda Department accidentally broke his leg not long ago. As the saying goes, it takes 100 days to heal a broken bone, so he could only stay at home.
But National Day is coming soon. Such an important holiday is the busiest time for the entire Propaganda Department. We don’t feel the loss of one person at other times, but it is not a big deal during such an important holiday. So we thought of Lin Siya.
Lin Siya came to the Propaganda Department with her things.
The Propaganda Department’s office is much larger than the Finance Department’s, and there are several separate compartments inside.
The section chief’s surname is Li. He is a middle-aged man in his forties who looks very elegant.
He warmly welcomed Lin Siya and introduced her to the work of the Propaganda Department.
Lin Siya was a little surprised after hearing this. It turned out that the work of the Propaganda Department was not as simple as she had imagined. Not only were they responsible for designing the factory's propaganda posters and window displays, they also had to write various promotional materials and even participate in the planning of factory events.
This was indeed a big challenge for Lin Siya, who had never tried this job before.
But she did not back down, instead she was full of anticipation, believing that as long as she studied hard, she would be able to do the job.
Moreover, she has her own advantages. Not only is she good at drawing, but she is also good at writing. As for organizing activities, that is even more of a piece of cake for her. It is not in vain that she has watched the Spring Festival Gala and various other evening parties over the years.
"Come, let me introduce to you. This is Comrade Lin Siya who was seconded to our department. Please give a round of applause to welcome her." Section Chief Li introduced Lin Siya to the people in the Propaganda Department.
"Comrade Lin Siya, welcome to our Propaganda Department. My name is Ye Zhi." Ye Zhi is a round-faced girl, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a very nice voice. She is an announcer at a textile factory. Lin Siya often hears this voice on the radio.
"Comrade Lin Siya, my name is Zhang Qingqing. Like Ye Zhi, I am also an announcer at our textile factory." Zhang Qingqing is quite bright-looking and has a nice voice. Perhaps because she is an announcer, there is a hint of pride in her tone.
"Comrade Lin Siya, I'm Yi Jiankang, the projectionist at our textile factory."
Yi Jiankang is one of the only two men in the publicity department, the other one is Xu Da who is injured and at home.
Nowadays, movie projectionist is a very sought-after profession and is known as one of the eight major personnel. The so-called eight major personnel are salesperson, driver, telephone operator, hygienist, projectionist, cook, broadcaster, and technician.
Their Propaganda Department has two types of members among the eight major members, one of whom is especially the projectionist, who is the most popular. This is mainly because there were basically no entertainment activities in that era, and being able to watch a movie was something that everyone in the area was happy about.
The scene was like the Chinese New Year. Some people even walked dozens of miles just to watch a movie. Modern people can't even imagine that scene.
In addition to these colleagues, there are three other people left, namely Ji Qingqing and Lu Jie.
Because the textile factory has to serve thousands of workers, each department has a lot of people, and the Propaganda Department is no exception.
After everyone introduced themselves to each other, Lin Siya was taken to her workstation.
"Comrade Lin, this is Comrade Xu Da's seat. You can sit here."
"Okay, thank you, Chief Li."
The work of the Propaganda Department is both complicated and simple. Basically, everyone has their own responsibilities. Xu Da's job is mainly to design and publish the entire textile factory's newspapers, as well as design and write propaganda slogans within the factory.
The reason why Xu Da was injured this time was because of bad luck. When he was writing slogans in the factory, he missed a step and fell off the ladder. Because the ladder was quite high, the injury was so serious.
"Comrade Lin Siya, let me explain your duties for the next few months. You will be primarily responsible for painting slogans and working on the blackboard newspapers at our textile factory. Since this is your first time doing this, Comrade Ji Jingqing will be assisting you."
After Section Chief Li finished explaining his tasks, he left. National Day was approaching, and they had a lot of things to do in the Propaganda Department.
"Okay, thank you, Chief."
After understanding the content of her job, Lin Siya breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just making blackboard newspapers and writing slogans. For her, this job is a piece of cake.
After all, who hasn't made a few blackboard newspapers when they were young? She remembered that when she was young, because her handwriting was particularly good, she was directly selected by the teacher as the first choice for blackboard newspaper. The blackboard newspapers she made often won awards in school.
Not to mention painting slogans, which was the main source of income for him after he left the orphanage.
At that time, urban planning was particularly common, and the government would often recruit students from art academies to write slogans and draw pictures on blank walls.
She draws very well, but writing slogans is a technical job. It is not enough to just write beautifully. It must be neat and the font must be standardized. In order to make money, she specially consulted a master craftsman in this industry.
Through his unremitting efforts and extraordinary talent, he quickly mastered this skill.
From then on, most of my living expenses during college were solved by relying on this skill.
Since he can not only draw but also write slogans well, it is equivalent to hiring two people to do the work with the salary of one person, so he is still very popular.
