Hearing Wang Ye's voice, the little warrior turned his head and looked over. He looked Wang Ye up and down, and then asked tentatively:
"Are you Comrade Wang Ye from Yanjing?"
Under the gaze of the little soldier, Wang Ye nodded with a smile and said:
"If you are talking about Wang Ye from Red Star Machinery Factory."
"That must be me."
Instantly, a joyful expression appeared on the little soldier's face, and he walked over quickly and said:
"Hello, Comrade Wang Ye! I am Director Liang's orderly."
"Director Liang is waiting over there. We came here specifically to pick you up."
"Come on, let me get your luggage!"
He stepped forward without any explanation and snatched the travel bag and bedroll from Wang Ye. Wang Ye had a look of surprise on his face, quickly thanked him and made a gesture to lead the way and said:
"Thank you, comrade, let's go there quickly!"
"Don't keep Director Liang waiting."
The director Liang mentioned by Wang Ye and this little soldier is Liang Jinsong, the office director of the Luqi Provincial Defense Management Office. In terms of administrative level, he is actually quite high. After all, he is in charge of the entire military industry system of Luqi Province.
And this was why Wang Ye was surprised. He didn't expect that the director would come to pick him up in person.
After all, in terms of administrative relations, the director of the Red Star Machinery Factory, which he was about to serve as, would be his direct subordinate if he did not convert from military to civilian. In the officialdom, how could a superior come to the station to greet his subordinate in person?
Furthermore, after the implementation of the military-to-civilian reform, I had no relationship with him at all, and there was no reason to come here.
In Wang Ye's doubts.
After a while, the two came to the side of the square in front of the station.
I saw a car parked on the side of the road, which is still rare in these years. The color is military green, the simple semi-soft top, and the rough jeep shape. It is the 212 type jeep produced by Yanjing Automobile Factory. It has been popular in the past thirty years. Later, what was called "industrial waste" was the envy of everyone in this era, and it was the standard travel tool for cadres and state-owned factory leaders.
As for the more advanced imported and assembled joint venture cars, the Santana model, which is a collaboration between Shanghai Automobile and Volkswagen of Germany, will not be mass-produced for another three years. At the same time, the price of up to 250,000 to 60,000 yuan is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people. It's the same as buying a private jet forty years later, maybe even worse.
At the same time, under the shadow of the tree next to Jeep 212, stood a middle-aged man wearing a yellow-green military uniform. He held a cigarette between the two fingers of his right hand. The flame almost burned his fingers, but he seemed not to notice it and was looking at it blankly. I don't know what I'm thinking about as I look ahead.
"Director, I have received Comrade Wang Ye!"
With the voice of this little soldier who claimed to be an orderly, Director Liang came back to his senses, subconsciously threw away the hot cigarette butt, and then turned to look at Wang Ye.
In an instant, Wang Ye felt two sharp eyes, full of oppression, cast towards him. If it were not for his experience in that life, Wang Ye would have subconsciously avoided them at this moment, not daring to look at them.
"Hello, Comrade Xiao Wang!"
"I am Liang Jinsong, director of the Luqi Provincial Defense Management Office."
"Nice to meet you!"
The next second, Liang Jinsong's eyes softened, and at the same time he walked towards Wang Ye, stretched out his right hand and said this without enthusiasm.
"Hello, Director Liang, I am Wang Ye."
Looking at Liang Jinsong, Wang Ye quickly walked over and held his hand, and said this in a neither humble nor overbearing manner. At the moment of shaking hands, Wang Ye could feel a pair of rough and generous palms, especially the tiger's mouth, which was so hard that it From the calluses on his hands, it was obvious that he was a veteran with guns. Combined with his age, he was most likely a veteran who had been on the battlefield, and he suddenly felt a little more admiration for him.
After the two said hello, the air fell into silence for a while.
Liang Jinsong looked at Wang Ye seriously again, and finally a smile appeared on his face and said:
"He is indeed a talented person!"
"Comrade Xiao Wang, it stands to reason that a top graduate from Huaqing like you should have a better place to go, right?"
"Why did you decide to come to a small place like Hongxing Machinery Factory?"
"I heard from the ministry that you came here on your own initiative?"
Wang Ye was not too surprised by Director Liang Jinsong's question and explained with a smile:
"Yes, I took the initiative to apply with the Fifth Machinery Department."
"As for the reason? Actually, there is no reason. I just think I can do it well."
Hearing what Wang Ye said, Liang Jinsong stood there and nodded slightly. He lowered his head and seemed to be thinking for a few seconds. After that, he took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and handed it to Wang Ye and said:
"Do you know how to smoke? Have one?"
Wang Ye hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse. It was obvious that Liang Jinsong had something to say, and for men, smoking and chatting was a relatively harmonious chat environment. Besides, Wang Ye was also a heavy smoker in his previous life.
"Big front door, good smoke."
The familiar smell of matches and phosphorus drifted over, and the two lit cigarettes. As the smoke filled the air, Liang Jinsong sighed and said:
"Comrade Xiao Wang, I am a soldier and I don't like to beat around the bush."
"To tell you the truth, from my personal perspective, Liang Jinsong, I am deeply honored and extremely grateful that you are willing to take the initiative to serve as the director of Hongxing Machinery Factory. I warmly welcome you with both hands."
"But from the perspective of the director of the Ruqi Provincial Defense Management Office."
"I actually don't welcome you here."
"This is the truth.
Wang Ye was not too surprised by Liang Jinsong's statement, because after he reported to the Fifth Machinery Department a few days ago, many leaders in the department did not agree with his coming.
After all, in their view, although they are graduate students from Huaqing, they are still essentially a fresh graduate. They may be qualified to be the technical section chief of a medium-sized state-owned machinery factory, but they still lack the experience to be the director of a factory.
The reason why he was able to pass in the end was thanks to Vice Minister Zhou who admired him very much.
"So Director Liang, are you doubting my ability?"
“Do you doubt that I can’t lead the Red Star Machinery Factory to successfully complete the military-to-civilian reform?”
"Can't you take them out of the current predicament?"
Hearing what Wang Ye said, Liang Jinsong nodded and said without hesitation:
"Honestly, yes."
"Although you are a graduate student from Huaqing, I also believe in your technical level and knowledge reserve, but if you want to lead a factory to develop in such a difficult situation, you cannot rely on knowledge and technology alone."
"It's not a bad thing for young people to be aggressive. I admire your courage, your confidence, and your hard work."
"But the current situation of Hongxing Machinery Factory is really bad, far beyond your imagination."
"Privately speaking, talents like you should be in a more suitable place to contribute to the country's construction and should not be left in this mud pit. From a public perspective, I will give you the five to six thousand people from the Red Star Machinery Factory. ,I'm worried!"
"All in all, some things can't be done well just because you want to."
Having said this, Liang Jinsong threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, looked at Wang Ye seriously and said:
"So we have a word in advance."
"Even if the management of Hongxing Machinery Factory will be transferred to Yuntai Industrial Bureau in the future."
"But the country still gives you a one-year buffer time. I will keep an eye on you. If you don't do well, Comrade Xiao Wang, don't blame me and my superiors for reporting you, and we will fire you directly!"
In response, Wang Ye nodded with a smile and said:
"I don't have any objection, then just watch it!"
"Look how I led our Hongxing Machinery Factory out of poverty and became rich!"
