Chapter 27
In the morning, I opened the curtains and the bright sunshine came in.
Xu Di stretched, did some stretching exercises, and went out to brush his teeth and wash his face.
"Xu Di, hurry up, comb your hair smoother, dress more formally, and wear shoes..."
Xu's mother was a little worried. It was Xu Di's first day at work and she hoped everything would go well.
Xu Di knew that her mother was a little nervous, so she didn't refute and quickly finished washing up. Her hair was braided into two popular pigtails, and she wore black pants, a loose white shirt, and a thin jacket on the outside. Black suede cloth shoes, very comfortable to wear.
"Well, not bad, quite energetic. When we get to the unit, there will be some trouble, and we will be sweet. However, we should not cause trouble, nor be afraid of trouble, and we can't let people bully us for no reason."
Mother Xu felt like she had a thousand words to say, but she couldn't remember them for a moment.
Xu Di listened to her mother's nagging with a smile, and felt very happy.
In her previous life, her mother was busy with farming and taking care of the chickens, ducks, geese and dogs at home every day, so she grew up free-range.
After dinner, Xu Di put on his bag, walked out of the house and went to work.
After cleaning up the kitchen, Xu's mother went to the factory. She was working the night shift today and left later than anyone else in the family.
The bus was shaking all the way and Xu Di felt like he was going to be crushed.
I arrived at the station, got off the bus, took two deep breaths, and then I felt alive again.
I straightened my clothes and smoothed my hair, and when I felt ready, I walked towards the office building. In this era, you have to rely on your feelings when doing your makeup and hair, and you have to rely on your feelings when calculating time. Everything is based on your feelings.
Going up to the third floor, Xu Di found the warehouse office. The door was open, so she walked straight in.
"Hello, I'm looking for Team Leader Zhao."
"It's me. Are you the new Xiao Xu?"
"Hello, Sister Zhao, I'm Xu Di, reporting to you."
Xu Di quickly stood at attention, because this was his immediate superior.
"You little comrade, you are of a different generation. Call me Aunt Zhao instead of Sister Zhao. My son is older than you."
"Really? I didn't realize that. I thought you were only a few years older than me!"
Xu Di knows very well that most people like to listen to nice things. Team Leader Zhao seems easy to talk to, but we'll have to get to know him better over time.
"You are a sweet talker, young comrade. That's your desk. Go get a set of office supplies yourself later.
Once everyone is here, I will arrange things for you. Don't worry, ask more questions if you don't understand. ”
"Thank you, team leader. I will learn with an open mind and strive to catch up with the progress as soon as possible."
"Okay, go clear your table."
Team Leader Zhao turned and left the office as she had a meeting in the morning.
Xu Di looked at the desk assigned to him, which was just an ordinary office desk.
Xu Di took out the rag from his bag, took the bucket behind the door, went to find the water room, got some water, and cleaned his own area.
After carrying back half a bucket of water, Xu Di rolled up his sleeves and started working.
"Oh, is this our new colleague?"
Xu Di raised her head and saw an older lady with a Hu Lan hairstyle coming in from the door.
"Hello, my name is Xu Di, what's your name, comrade?"
"My name is Tang Li, you can just call me Sister Tang."
"Hello, Sister Tang!"
Xu Di followed Tang Li's words and called her "Sister Tang".
"Okay, pack up first and go get a set of office supplies later. I'll arrange something for you when the team leader comes back from the meeting."
"Thank you, Sister Tang. I'll pick it up in a moment."
Xu Di had already seen where to pick up office supplies yesterday. They all belonged to the logistics department and were not far away.
After Xu Di cleaned up his desk, he took the bucket to pour water.
After coming back, I took my work ID to collect office supplies.
A few notebooks, a bottle of ink, a pen, a ruler, a lock with a key...
Xu Di took the things back to the office, and there were two more people in the room, a man and a woman.
"Hello, new colleague. My name is Wang Wei, and this is Meng Jiao."
The girl named Meng Jiao didn't raise her head, and Xu Di couldn't see what she looked like. He only saw a head of black hair.
"Hello, Comrade Wang. My name is Xu Di."
Xu Di simply greeted them. She knew that in the 1960s and 1970s, the separation between men and women was still quite strict. Before she knows the details of everyone in the office, she should do more and talk less.
"Everyone is here, let's talk about a few things."
As soon as Team Leader Zhao came back, he called everyone to a meeting.
Xu Di looked at everyone else standing up, and then he stood up too.
"First of all, welcome new colleague Xu Di. Please introduce yourselves. We will work together in the future, so let's get to know each other first."
"Tang Li."
"Wang Wei."
"Meng Jiao."
Xu Di finally saw Meng Jiao's face clearly. She had a small round face, big eyes, and was quite pretty. Overall, it is in line with the current mainstream aesthetic.
"Hello everyone, my name is Xu Di, please take care of me in the future."
Xu Di didn’t know how to survive in the workplace in the 1970s, she could only go by her feeling.
In her previous life, she worked in a garment factory for two years. After getting married, she worked either in a community supermarket or in the restaurant kitchen.
I have lived for more than 40 years, but have never worked in an office and have no experience.
"Okay, now that we all know each other, let's talk about work.
This month is almost over. You should know the current situation of the warehouse that you are responsible for and avoid being confused. ”
"Understood, Team Leader."
The others agreed, and Xu Di also understood how to address Team Leader Zhao from now on.
"Xu Di, follow Tang Li for the next two days to familiarize yourself with the work process, and then I'll assign you tasks."
"Okay, Team Leader."
After Team Leader Zhao finished speaking, he left in a hurry again.
"Come on, Xiao Xu, let me tell you about our work."
Tang Li was also anxious. She wanted to bring Xiao Xu out earlier so that she could share some of the things she was doing. Otherwise, she would be too tired.
“The main job of our department is to coordinate the inventory situation between the headquarters warehouse and each branch.
Each person is responsible for several categories. We need to keep good records of what goods arrive at the main warehouse and the delivery orders.
We also need to remember what goods each branch applied for and how much they took away. You need to know clearly what goods are out of stock and what goods are in excess, and communicate with the purchasing department in a timely manner. ”
Tang Li briefly introduced their work content, which sounded complicated, but was actually similar to warehouse scheduling.
Although Xu Di did not work as a dispatcher in the supermarket in his previous life, he did organize goods in the warehouse, so he knew a little about it.
Xu Di listened to Sister Tang's introduction and took notes quickly, writing down the key points.
They have several departments like this, each department is responsible for different goods and connects with different department stores.
On his first day at work, Xu Di was tasked with taking inventory of goods in the large warehouse.
But they don't have to go and count the goods in person. They just need to take the list to the warehouse and check with them to see if there are any discrepancies after a month.
Xu Di followed Sister Tang to the large warehouse, which was behind their office building.
Xiao Xu, this area is full of large warehouses. The goods we are responsible for are in Warehouse No. 2. I'll take you there. ”
Tang Li took Xu Di to warehouse No. 2, which was filled with kitchen supplies.
From large items like kerosene stoves and big iron pots to small items like wine cups and chopsticks, everything is here.
The person in charge of Warehouse No. 2 is a middle-aged man in his forties named Huang Shan.
Tang Li took out the records and began to reconcile the accounts. Both parties had records for each item.
As long as the numbers match, there's no problem. If the numbers don't match, both parties will have to take inventory together.
Xu Di remembered it silently, just watching without saying anything. After a whole morning, he understood most of it. Other details and some hidden rules will have to be explored slowly.
