After helping his wife in the kitchen for a while, before dinner started, Lao Hou also sat down in front of the two guests. He was full of praise for Fang Hanmin's performance in the factory, "Jiansheng, you don't know, right? Xiaofang is ours now." A celebrity in the factory.”
In recent years, Lao Liu has rarely met his brother-in-law. After all, he was the one who introduced Fang Hanmin to work as a temporary worker in the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory. He often thinks about Fang Hanmin's situation. Due to lack of communication, he knows almost nothing about Fang Hanmin's situation in these years. , "You didn't tell me, how could I know? Xiao Fang has become a celebrity in Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory? Unexpected! No wonder people often say that people are impressed after three days of separation. Please tell me how Xiao Fang became famous? "
In front of Fang Hanmin, Lao Hou listed the contributions he had made to Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory in the past few years. "We, Director Yuan, are very grateful to him, and now we value him very much."
Old Liu was very surprised, "Xiao Fang, when we were at the reservoir construction site, I thought you were very smart. I didn't expect you to know the process technology of the pharmaceutical industry?"
Before Fang Hanmin could answer, Lao Hou rushed to say: "More than just understanding? Which of his contributions, even if taken alone, would have a huge impact on Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, because the problems he solved were all experienced by the senior staff of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory. A technical problem that engineers have not been able to solve for a long time!”
"This is even more amazing! Xiao Fang, where did you learn so many high-tech pharmaceutical technologies?" Lao Liu was even more puzzled.
Fang Hanmin evasively prevaricated: "No, it's nothing great. I just used the time when I started working as a temporary worker to learn some pharmaceutical technology knowledge by myself."
"Self-study?" Lao Liu couldn't believe the answer given by Fang Hanmin. "Through self-study, you learned such cutting-edge scientific and technological knowledge?"
At this moment, I heard Lao Hou's wife greeting everyone to prepare for dinner. Lao Hou stood up to help serve the dishes and set the tableware. The guests and hosts were sitting around the table. Guests came from far away, and Fang Hanmin came to visit. Lao Hou was very happy. He took out a bottle of wine and insisted on having a drink with the two guests.
"You two are both in your fifties. You are not like Xiao Fang, so you should drink less." Lao Hou's wife reminded.
"My sister is right, brother-in-law, we are not too young anymore. We should drink in moderation. Xiao Fang is young, so it will be okay to drink more." After finally meeting Fang Hanmin, Lao Liu didn't want to get drunk and delay his meeting with Fang Hanmin. chat.
"I can't drink too much, Section Chief Hou, Liu Gong, let's do whatever we want."
His suggestion didn't get a response, so Lao Hou had to change his mind, "Okay, let's mainly chat and drink casually, but we still have to drink this first glass of wine! After all, Jiansheng and I haven't seen each other for a long time. , even though we are in the same unit as Xiao Fang, this is the first time we sit down to drink.”
The three of them raised their glasses and clinked them together. After putting down the glasses, Lao Liu picked up the chopsticks and put them down again, "Brother-in-law, since Xiao Fang has made so many contributions to the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, why should his status as a temporary worker be changed, right? In your factory Aren’t you going to give him a permanent job?”
"Before I have time to tell you, Xiaofang's status as a temporary worker has been changed long ago, but now there is no official recruitment quota in the city. First, he was converted into a contract worker to facilitate the company's appointment of him, and now he is working on behalf of others. With his identity, the unit has appointed him as the deputy section chief of the technical section of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory!"
"Gong Liu, I haven't had a chance to inform you that I have been transferred to a contract worker. Section Chief Hou has given me a lot of help. If it hadn't been for Section Chief Hou's full help, I don't know how long it would have taken." Fang Hanmin hurriedly confessed. .
Old Liu picked up the wine glass again and said, "What a joy and congratulations! First of all, I wish Xiao Fang a better future! In addition, I would also like to thank my brother-in-law for taking care of Xiao Fang!"
Lao Hou is not greedy for credit. "My care is a secondary factor. The main thing is that Xiao Fang has done a good job himself. Just because he solved many technical problems for the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory and won the full trust of the top leader, our factory director Yuan It was only then that he withstood the pressure, fought against all opinions, and insisted on promoting him to the position of deputy chief of the technical section."
Lao Liu was full of praise for this, "This is an amazing result! Even if you were admitted to college and graduated for two or three years, it would be difficult to achieve what you are now. Xiaofang, congratulations again!"
This is true. In Fang Hanmin’s scientific research team, Wan Cheng and Guo Peng are both Fang Hanmin’s peers. Xu Hui and Jiang Guoxin are several years older than Fang Hanmin. As college graduates in the new era, they have been working for a few years. Year, if they hadn't been transferred to Fang Hanmin's team to engage in scientific research, they wouldn't have even had the chance to be independent, let alone a promotion in their positions.
Later, Lao Hou asked about the work that Fang Hanmin is currently carrying out. He gave a brief introduction in easy-to-understand language, "If everything goes well, by the end of the year, or at the latest after the Spring Festival, we will carry out in-depth inspections of the production lines of the second workshop in batches." Through technological transformation, by then, not only will the process technology of the second workshop be far ahead of its counterparts across the country, but the production environment will also meet the requirements of green environmental protection."
The green and environmental protection concept mentioned by Fang Hanmin was a concept that emerged many years later. At that time, both Lao Hou and Liu Gong felt it was very new when they heard this statement. However, they mentioned that "the process technology will be far ahead of their counterparts across the country" as mentioned by Fang Hanmin. "It's incredible. In their minds, Fang Hanmin is just a failed high school student. Even though he has excellent academic performance in high school, he has not received formal higher education training. Let alone the specific implementation, even if he dares to imagine such a grand idea, it is close to Science fiction.
Although Lao Liu's major is water conservancy, which is as separate from pharmaceutical science as a mountain, from the scene described by Fang Hanmin, he still feels that this young man is really not simple, but he really doesn't understand where Fang Hanmin learned this professional knowledge. of?
However, whenever faced with this question, Fang Hanmin always deliberately avoids it and is unwilling to answer it directly. Lao Liu is someone who is willing to consider the other person's interests. Since Fang Hanmin is unwilling to tell the truth, why force others to make things difficult?
Thinking of this, Old Liu changed the subject, "Xiao Fang, have you gone home often in the past few years? How is the situation back home? Now that the land has been contracted to each household, isn't life at home easier?" Liu Gong is very careful, so he just Just like at the reservoir construction site, after so many years, he was still thinking about the situation of his hometown for Fang Hanmin.
Hearing this, Fang Hanmin was startled again. Facing this strange friend, he hesitated for a moment before replying: "I'm really sorry, because I have been too busy with work in recent years. Since I went back to my hometown once during the Spring Festival in the first year of work, I haven’t been back to my hometown for more than three years, but I send money to my hometown regularly every month.”
"That's right. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot have both ends. You are busy all day long in the factory, how can you take care of your hometown? But you send money to your hometown regularly every month to subsidize the family, which can be regarded as fulfilling your responsibility to your hometown. Uh, you are also in your 24th and 5th year this year, right? Have you considered any personal issues?" Old Liu, this old friend, really cares about Fang Hanmin from the bottom of his heart.
When it came to this matter, Fang Hanmin was a little shy, "Not yet, I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry. Besides, with family conditions like mine, I'm not qualified to consider personal issues in the city."
"That's not necessarily the case. Your family conditions are poor, but how many people can compare to your work ability? Don't underestimate yourself."
"Liu Gong is cheering me up, right? In reality, which girl cares about your ability to work? People mainly look at family background. No girl from the city can appreciate a poor guy like me who lives in a remote rural area."
"Brother-in-law, Xiao Fang is a rare talent in Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory. As the HR section chief, shouldn't you also help him find a solution?"
"Jiansheng, I can help Xiao Fang find a solution for other things, but I can't do anything about this. Marriage is about fate. In fact, there is no need to worry at all. As long as the fate is there, marriage will naturally come to your door."
Lao Hou's wife also excused him, "Jiansheng, don't you know your brother-in-law's temper? He can do other jobs well, but when it comes to matchmaking, he is a complete layman. He doesn't even know whether a man or a woman is a good match." Measure, how do you want him to help?"
Fang Hanmin was shy at first, but the words of the host and hostess made him feel a little embarrassed, "Chief Hou is right, this kind of thing depends on fate, it's not a matter of who helps."
Lao Liu also felt that it was not appropriate to continue this topic. He and Fang Hanmin recalled some past events at the reservoir construction site headquarters. Although Fang Hanmin now only has a vague impression of those things, in order to cope with the situation, he had to hum along.
After dinner, Fang Hanmin thanked the host and was about to leave. Liu Gong invited him to visit his home when he returned to his hometown.
...
During the construction of the pilot plant, the staff in charge of raw material procurement from the Supply Department reported to Fang Hanmin that the hydrogen he entrusted the Supply Department to purchase could not find a supplier in this city. The hydrogen production unit closest to the Hongxing Pharmaceutical Factory is located in the second A chemical plant a hundred kilometers away.
Hydrogen is a high-risk gas, and long-distance transportation poses great safety risks. Fang Hanmin suggested that during the trial period, or at the beginning of the in-depth technical transformation of the second workshop, outsourcing should be temporarily used to meet demand. Once the in-depth technical transformation of the second workshop is completed, , the raw material hydrogen should still be based on the Hongxing Pharmaceutical Factory’s own supporting facilities.
Chief Engineer Lao Xia and Factory Director Yuan fully agreed with Fang Hanmin’s plan. They believed that long-term large-scale outsourcing of hydrogen, a raw material with very low density, was definitely not an option because freight would have a great impact on the cost! If Fang Hanmin hadn't had time to take care of raw materials, they would have wanted him to consider building his own hydrogen production device at the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory now.
Director Yuan attended a seminar on industrial production and technological progress held in the city a few days ago. At the meeting, he talked about the current production status and short-term and mid-term goals of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, which attracted the attention of the city leaders and naturally also Attention from local media.
Just yesterday, Shuangling Daily contacted Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory again. They wanted to conduct an exclusive interview with Director Yuan. After hearing the news, Lao Yuan repeatedly waved to the office director, "Let the comrades from the Publicity Department receive them. I can I don’t have time to accept any exclusive interview. However, you tell the contact person that Fang Hanmin’s deeds must be included in this report, and you can’t make the same mistake as last time again!”
With the lesson learned last time, the office director did not dare to be careless and conveyed Director Yuan's wishes to the propaganda section chief.
"So, does Director Yuan want to highlight Fang Hanmin's propaganda?"
"His original words were to add Fang Hanmin's deeds to it. I don't know if that's what you meant."
When the reception staff of the Publicity Section introduced the situation to reporters, they mentioned Fang Hanmin's deeds many times. The reporter asked for an exclusive interview with Fang Hanmin. The head of the Publicity Section believed that Factory Director Yuan even refused the interview and asked Fang Hanmin to accept an exclusive interview with the media. It was obviously It was inappropriate, but he agreed to take reporters to the site to watch the technical transformation that Fang Hanmin had made previously.
The content of the interview report was published in the Shuangling Daily the next day. It was also located in the fourth article on the front page. The same large boldface headline was equally eye-catching.
