Following Yu Dongmei from the first floor to the fourth floor, Fang Hanmin had almost nothing to say to her. Although shopping in shopping malls is also one of Yu Dongmei's hobbies, this kind of aimless wandering has reduced Yu Dongmei's interest by half compared to dancing in a ballroom.
Yu Dongmei looked around, listless, and was noticed by Fang Hanmin. He knew that this was definitely not the life Yu Dongmei liked, but that she was considering the overall situation, giving up her own hobbies, and could not bear to stimulate his emotions.
Once or twice is okay, but the days ahead are long. If Yu Dongmei were to give up her hobbies and live such a boring life with herself, Fang Hanmin thought that he would be too selfish!
On the one hand, there are inseparable emotions between the two parties, and on the other hand, they have completely different interests and hobbies. Yu Dongmei's psychology is very tangled. Since high school, she has believed that Fang Hanmin is a person worthy of love, and this view has not changed to this day. Otherwise, she would not have taken the initiative to pursue Fang Hanmin.
Yu Dongmei had known for a long time that her interests and hobbies were completely different from Fang Hanmin's, but she believed that those were just details in life and would not affect the main line of their emotions. Now it seems that this view may not stand the test of time.
Back in the dormitory, Fang Hanmin calmed down and calmly examined his relationship with Yu Dongmei. Regarding the overall evaluation of Dongmei, the host and the traveler have highly consistent opinions. They both believe that Yu Dongmei is outstanding regardless of external conditions or inner character. The only thing that the host cannot let go of is Yu Dongmei's interests. Hobby.
Even if Yu Dongmei reluctantly gave up her hobbies in order to take care of Fang Hanmin's emotions, the host would find it difficult to accept it, because neither Fang Hanmin in the past nor the current host was a selfish person. Although there are some traditional concepts in our minds, as young people in the new era, the concept of freedom and equality between men and women has long been ingrained.
Yu Dongmei likes to sing and dance. It's not her fault. It's just that such behavior is inconsistent with the host's traditional concepts, which leads to the estrangement.
But the time traveler disagrees with this, because his mind is full of modern ideas. He believes that as long as you love someone, you must accept everything about her, including her family and her hobbies. Yu Dongmei likes to dance. If Fang Hanmin can't develop her talent, as long as she can keep herself clean and just dance with others, what's not acceptable?
In order to treat the relationship with Yu Dongmei carefully, the host wants to calm down for a while. He needs to analyze and weigh from multiple aspects and seriously evaluate the future direction of the relationship. The time traveler agreed and reminded the host not to make hasty decisions.
...
There are still about twenty days before the on-site meeting. Fortunately, there are four assistants who help share part of the work. Otherwise, in such a short period of time, even if Fang Hanmin works overtime every day, he will not be able to complete the preparation of the materials required for the meeting.
After accepting the task, Fang Hanmin handed over the information related to the in-depth technical transformation of the second workshop to four assistants to prepare. He himself was responsible for summarizing the information on previous technical transformation projects and then conducting comprehensive coordination.
The four assistants were all participants in the hydrogenation reduction process in the second workshop. They were very clear about the purpose and significance of the project. Fang Hanmin explained to them the method and requirements for writing meeting materials, and he basically ignored it.
Not only was Fang Hanmin personally responsible for the previous process improvements, but he also wrote the final summary report himself. Compiling the meeting materials for the on-site meeting based on the previously saved summary reports was not difficult except that the workload was slightly larger.
This morning, Fang Hanmin was working at his desk in the office when he heard a knock on the door from outside, "Please come in!"
Sister Li, the attendance clerk of the technical department, pushed open the door and came in. She was holding a stack of newspapers and several letters in her hand. She pulled out an envelope and two newspapers and handed them over, "Chief Fang, here is a letter from you."
Fang Hanmin stood up and took it, "Sister Li, thank you!"
When Sister Li exited the office, Fang Hanmin glanced at the address on the envelope and knew it was a letter from his hometown. He tore open the envelope, and there was only a piece of letter paper inside, with only four or five lines written on it. The content of the letter was also very simple. The main idea was that his mother had sent greetings to relatives and friends and was preparing to borrow money from them, but those relatives and friends have not responded yet.
Fang Hanmin remembered that when he returned to his hometown more than half a month ago, his parents talked to him about building a house at home. Even if Fang Hanmin financed half of the house building funds, the other half still needed to be borrowed from relatives and friends, but it had already been three or four days since they said hello. It’s been months and no one from my family or friends has given me a clear answer. Before leaving, Fang Hanmin told his parents that if there was still no news after ten days, he would write a letter explaining the situation to him. This is the purpose of this letter.
Fang Hanmin believes that the lack of reply from relatives and friends means that they have something to hide. Since they are unwilling to lend money, it is in vain to wait any longer. However, the house in his hometown is too old. He is really afraid that when the rainy season comes next year, the old house will not be able to bear it. Because of the threat of extreme weather, he believes that the house in his hometown must be built as soon as possible.
Relatives and friends cannot count on him, and the house in his hometown must be rebuilt. It seems that Fang Hanmin has to find a way to solve the funding problem. According to the budget, the money Fang Hanmin has saved over the years is only enough to cover half of the funds needed to build a house. Where can he raise the other half?
Sitting on the chair and thinking wildly, Fang Hanmin remembered that Factory Director Yuan once told him that he could raise any difficulties in his hometown. What's the meaning? Can Lao Yuan help him solve his financial difficulties?
The host thinks that it would be great if Director Yuan could help solve the problem of housing construction funds! Even if he borrows money, it will be deducted from his salary in the future.
The time traveler reminded him that there is no such thing as a horoscope. Don't be too happy too early. That was just a casual polite word from Director Yuan. Do you take it seriously? Even if you bring up the difficulties in your hometown and give you a hardship subsidy of up to 1,800 yuan, as for borrowing funds, it is simply impossible, because Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory has never had such a precedent!
Fang Hanmin felt ridiculous for his naive idea. Yes, Factory Director Yuan said it so casually, but he took it as the truth. Fortunately, he did not bring up the difficulties in his hometown to him, otherwise, if it spread to the ears of outsiders, he would have to let others know. People laugh at you!
He had to realize his dreams by himself. Fang Hanmin took back his thoughts and discarded his fantasies. After searching in his mind, he thought of his high school classmate, his good brother Lu Hui.
Pulling out the contact information he left when they last met, Fang Hanmin took a closer look and discovered that Lu Hui not only had his own office, but also installed a program-controlled telephone in the office. This guy is awesome! In the Hongxing Pharmaceutical Factory, which employs several thousand people, only Factory Director Yuan's office and the factory office have installed program-controlled telephones. Lu Hui, a self-employed person, is getting as much treatment as the factory director.
Through the long-distance phone station, Fang Hanmin asked the operator to connect the phone to Lu Hui's office. It almost rang to the last tone before the other party picked up. Fang Hanmin recognized Lu Hui's voice, and he cried bitterly, "Brother, you know I called How difficult is it to make long-distance calls? If you don’t answer it, I’m going to collapse!”
"What are you doing? The technical section chief of the dignified Hongxing Pharmaceutical Factory, and a celebrity in Shuangling City, talks about yourself in such a pitiful way. Are you worried?"
"It's not pitiful. It's not easy for me to make long-distance calls. I first have to apply to the factory office. After getting approval, the operator at the long-distance station can transfer me to an outside number. People are required for both steps. Do you think it's not a problem? "
"Okay, since it's so difficult to make a phone call, let's talk about something. Brother, why are you looking for me?"
Fang Hanmin hesitated and seemed to find it difficult to speak.
Lu Hui was a little confused, "Hanmin, this is not your character! Is there anything else you can't say between us buddies?"
"Hi! I have something like this," Fang Hanmin gritted his teeth and told Lu Hui that he wanted to borrow money to build a house in his hometown. "Brother, can you help me?"
In fact, in high school, Lu Hui knew that Fang Hanmin's family was very poor, but he didn't expect that after so many years, his hometown had not improved much. "Hanmin, you won't believe me if I say I have no money, but you also know that, Wholesale takes up a lot of my working capital.”
Fang Hanmin instantly felt like a deflated rubber ball, "Yeah, I forgot, all your money was used as working capital. Brother, I didn't say anything about this just now."
"Hey! Hey! Hey! I haven't finished speaking yet. Why are you backing out? How much money do you need?"
"Lu Hui, you need a lot of funds for your business, so I'd better find another way."
"Hanmin, what's the matter with you? If we were still buddies, all you had to do was tell me how much it would cost? You don't have to worry about other things. No matter how difficult it is for me, I still have more ways and means than you."
Seeing Lu Hui's sincerity, Fang Hanmin had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Hey, I thought how much money is needed. If the amount is large, I'm going to ask a friend to transfer it. Your amount is not big, so I can get it myself. When do you want it?" Lu Hui was very straightforward.
Fang Hanmin didn't expect that things would go so smoothly in the end, and he finally felt relieved, "I'll send my savings back to my family first, and you won't use the money until a month later."
"That's even better. A month later, part of my liquidity will be back."
"But brother, my repayment plan may take a long time, because I can only save part of my monthly salary, and I can only pay you back after I have saved enough."
"Hanmin, I lent you the money a month later, and now you are talking to me about the repayment plan. Are we still brothers? Besides, the amount of money you borrowed is not a big sum, and it will not be harmful to my business." If it causes any impact, you will definitely not agree if I tell you not to pay me back, but you really don’t have to rush to pay me back, and you don’t need to tighten your belts and save money. Brother, you are already in your mid-twenties, and you have reached the age where you should find money. Depending on your girlfriend’s age, you need to spend money to get along with your girlfriend, so don’t be too stingy, otherwise, people will look down on you.”
What a good brother! Hearing these heartfelt words made Fang Hanmin feel sad and his eyes were moist, "Thank you for your concern, brother! I know it well."
With the funds secured, Fang Hanmin immediately wrote to his parents, asking them to seize the slack season after autumn plowing and planting to start building a house. At the same time, he sent the first house building funds back to his hometown...
Director Yuan attaches great importance to the on-site meeting held in the factory in early November. This is not only a good opportunity to promote the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, but also an excellent opportunity for him to express himself in front of the city leaders. In addition, Lao Yuan has always wanted to move Fang Hanmin forward. Pushing, showing up on such occasions can further expand Fang Hanmin's popularity.
Therefore, Lao Yuan put down other tasks at hand and focused on the overall coordination tasks that were originally the responsibility of the factory office. Only a week later, he couldn't wait to convene a meeting with relevant personnel to personally inquire about the progress of various preparations.
Among all the preparatory work, Factory Director Yuan was most concerned about the preparation of the technical materials required for the meeting. This work was taken care of by Fang Hanmin. He was confident and reported on the work plan and progress of himself and several assistants.
Lao Yuan was generally satisfied with the preparation work, but he urged Fang Hanmin to prepare meeting materials that were both detailed and concise.
