In the office, Director Zhang poured a glass of water for Factory Director Shen. "What do you think of Xiao Song and Zhao Qin?"
Factory Director Shen smiled. The two had worked together for so many years, and they always spoke frankly and never kept secrets from each other.
“At first I was a little worried because they are young, unlike Xu Ting and the other two, who are both workshop supervisors. But these two do have advantages. One has family resources in this field and knows a thing or two herself, while the other is very smart and capable.”
Song Qing seems to have just returned last night; I didn't expect her to have made so many preparations in just one night.
Director Zhang was genuinely surprised by the big surprise Song Qing gave her. She had originally gone to her because she was short-handed, but Song Qing had agreed to let her start working at the factory in July.
Since we're all factory workers, we might as well use this opportunity; consider it contributing to the factory in advance.
Although the Women's Federation and a few people in the factory had heard about Zhou Lian's situation, Director Zhang did not make it public. She told a few people in the factory that she admired Song Qing and that since they needed to hire more people for the new production line in July, she had already made the appointment in advance.
Several members of the leadership had more or less guessed something, but hiring one person was not important to them.
The leadership entrusted Director Zhang and Shen Chunjiao with the preparation of the textile factory this time. They originally wanted to discuss it among themselves first, but the factory simply couldn't spare any more manpower.
Since Song Qing and Zhao Qin can handle this matter well, there's no need to send anyone else over for now.
"I spoke with the leaders of the military region, and they called the state-owned cotton mill next door. They will send a few technicians over, and Song Qing will bring a few people to learn from them."
Director Zhang was very satisfied with Song Qing. After all, she was the one she had chosen. Song Qing had not embarrassed her at all. On the contrary, she was very organized in her work. Even Shen Chunjiao was quite satisfied with her.
Besides, Song Qing had already given her face regarding the house, so she wouldn't hesitate to give her more resources.
"Should we put her in charge, or hire a few more people to mentor her?"
Shen Chunjiao hesitated. Technical equipment was of paramount importance to them. After all, Song Qing wasn't from the factory, and they couldn't let such a young newcomer be in charge of the technical production part.
The initial preparations are fine, but it's going to be a huge factory later on. What if she can't handle it?
"There's no such thing as being responsible or not. We just pick a dozen or so people to learn together, and the one who learns the best will be the leader."
However, I trust Xiao Song. She used to work in a government agency; look at how organized and efficient she is!
Anyway, Director Zhang was increasingly satisfied with what she saw, and she believed that Song Qing would learn well from those technicians.
"You said yourself that she works in government, but this is technical production, a completely different system."
"What, you want to pick a few technicians from among our family members? Don't they all need to learn? Then let her learn too."
Factory Director Shen nodded. If she could stand out from the dozen or so people selected, it wouldn't be a bad idea.
"However, we can't wait until the factory is built before sending technicians over. We'll send people to the state-owned cotton mill to learn."
The leaders were in a hurry, and once the factory started construction, they had to send people to various places to buy machines. They first sent some people to relevant units to learn, and after the factory was completely built, the technicians from the National Cotton Mill would work together with their own people.
“Then we need to arrange for them to go on business trips. These family members all have children at home, so they can’t be away for too long.”
“There will always be a way. We can’t wait for people from the state-owned cotton mill to come and teach us. Various technical personnel need to be assigned to different factories to learn.”
The two started arguing about the issue again as they talked, and after a long time they still couldn't come to a conclusion.
After leaving his office, Director Zhang thought for a moment and then went to find Song Qing.
"Director Zhang, what brings you here?" This was the second time Director Zhang had stepped into her home, and she looked around in surprise.
The yard was tidy and organized, with firewood piled in the corner, a new washbasin built next to the kitchen, and even a canopy installed in the passageway next to the main room.
Upon entering the main room, one sees it neatly arranged, with a wooden sofa covered with several patterned cloths, which looks exceptionally beautiful.
Song Qing is making a cover-up for An'an with a sewing machine. Now that the weather is warm, she doesn't plan to keep the child at home.
However, considering that Lu Yang had to wash clothes every day, he quickly made her a cover-up so that she wouldn't have to wash her coat every day.
"Xiao Song, you've tidied up this house so well. It looks so much better than before."
With Song Qing's permission, Director Zhang inspected the two rooms again. The rooms were covered with new newspapers and furnished with various pieces of furniture, making them quite beautiful.
"I envy your house. It's spacious and beautiful."
Especially the front yard, if we plant some vegetables there, we won't need to buy any more. And that tree, it blooms in spring and bears fruit in autumn.
Director Zhang lives in a two-story building for cadres, so he certainly doesn't envy it; he's just surprised by how different the house looks before and after.
"You two are both good at managing your finances."
After chatting for a while, Director Zhang revealed her purpose.
"Xiao Song, you know how important technology will be for our factory in the future. The factory will send more than a dozen people to different factories to learn. Once they have mastered the technology, they will be able to take charge of our textile factory."
I wanted to ask if you were interested. Although you haven't officially joined our factory yet, we can process your onboarding early, and you'll even receive a stipend for business trips to other cities.
Director Zhang naturally hoped that Song Qing would go. She is so young now, and once she enters the textile factory, she can't be made a workshop supervisor or even a team leader right away, otherwise the people below will be dissatisfied.
You're a newcomer and so young, why are you ranked ahead of everyone else?
But she was a capable person and was one of the people who helped prepare for the textile factory's early stages, so they couldn't just let her be an ordinary worker.
But it's different for technicians. As long as you understand the technology, no one cares whether you're young or old.
If Song Qing studies well, even if she is too young to command respect in the first few years, she can become a technical leader once she gains more experience.
"Those who understand technology can easily get promoted."
Song Qing was grateful that Director Zhang had come over to talk to her about this matter. The issue of getting a job and a house back then was completely over, and there was no need for Director Zhang to come over and remind her again.
"Thank you, Director. I will think it over carefully."
Director Zhang said that depending on the needs, they might go to textile factories in other provinces to learn, but it hasn't been decided yet, and the timing is uncertain.
She was a little worried. An'an was still so young, and Lu Yang also needed to go to work. What would happen to the child if he had an emergency mission?
