Song Yuping knew Fang Hanmin's stubborn temper. She could stay in a hotel or go back to her hometown tomorrow. She didn't want Fang Hanmin to have a dispute with people in her workplace because of her accommodation.
Fang Hanmin didn't take this matter seriously. Seeing Song Yuping's cautious look, he said calmly: "Don't worry, I will take care of it. Let's go eat!"
As the two passed by the communication room, Fang Hanmin looked provocatively through the window and coughed twice on purpose.
"Hanmin, what are you doing?" Song Yuping pulled Fang Hanmin's arm, not wanting him to get into trouble again.
They hailed a three-wheel taxi on the side of the road. Ten minutes later, the two came to the specialty restaurant Fang Hanmin mentioned and ordered their favorite dishes. Fang Hanmin asked the waiter to bring three bottles of cold beer, "Two bottles for me, One bottle for you.”
"I haven't drunk it before. I don't know if I can drink it. How about you drink it yourself."
"It's a hot day, drink some. This thing is just like soda, everyone will drink it."
They each poured a glass. Song Yuping picked it up and tried to taste it, with a strange expression on her face, "What? Soda is sweet, but this thing is bitter and astringent. The taste is far different!"
Fang Hanmin said with a smile: "No matter who you are, the first time you drink beer, you will find it tastes unpleasant, but you will gradually get used to it. If you drink a few more sips, the feeling will be different."
"It seems you have experience in this area, let me try it."
When the food arrived, Fang Hanmin picked up the cup and said, "Yuping, I'm trying to calm you down, cheers!"
"Not to mention, the second sip tastes better." Song Yuping took another sip, put down the cup, smacked her lips, and then asked: "You said you should calm me down, but where do you start with this?"
"Didn't the old administrator come to the dormitory to disturb you this morning? I was afraid that you would be frightened, so I tried to calm you down."
"Hey, I'm not a three-year-old child. The old man must be quite old, right? How can your company use such an old person as an administrator?"
"I have never interacted with those people and don't know the specific situation. I heard them say that the old man is the father of the logistics section chief of our unit. He retired and was bored at home. His son found a job for him to hang out there."
"He's not just messing around. I think he has a strong sense of responsibility. How else could he target me?"
"Aren't you a new face? He has never seen you before. He thinks you are an outsider. Seeing you coming in and out of Xiao Min's dormitory may have attracted his attention. When he knew that I borrowed the dormitory from Xiao Min, the old man It got even more exciting, because I usually ignored him, so he used the rules and regulations of dormitory management to get in my way. In fact, it is very common for family members of factory employees to stay in single dormitories. Because I didn’t have a good relationship with him, the old man just You deliberately try to find trouble with me."
"His son is the head of the logistics section. If the old man really goes to the factory to file a complaint against you, how will you be punished? Will the logistics section really take back Xiao Min's dormitory?" Song Yuping was still a little worried.
"You, live peacefully in Xiao Min's dormitory, don't worry about so much. Come, drink, and see if the taste of this beer is getting better and better."...
At around ten o'clock the next morning, Fang Hanmin went to the second workshop to learn about the performance changes of the palladium carbon catalyst. As soon as he returned to the office, he received a call from Director Yuan, "Hanmin, take some time to come to my office."
Fang Hanmin didn't have time to think too much and turned around to Director Yuan's office, "Director, are you looking for me...?"
"Sit down," Director Yuan asked Fang Hanmin to sit down opposite him. "The logistics department reported to Lao Zhou. Lao Zhou just reported to me that you violated the regulations on single dormitory management and secretly let outsiders live in the borrowed dormitory. Is this happening?"
It turned out that after the quarrel with Fang Hanmin yesterday evening, the dormitory administrator was so angry that he went home that night and accused Fang Hanmin of his crimes to his son. Although the old man's son is the chief of the logistics section, Fang Hanmin is the chief of the technical section. He knows that there is nothing he can do against Fang Hanmin.
After going to work in the morning, the logistics section chief immediately went to Deputy Factory Director Zhou, who was in charge of logistics work, and reported Fang Hanmin's violation of the single dormitory management regulations to Lao Zhou, and hoped that the factory would give Fang Hanmin appropriate punishment as a warning. Follow suit.
Deputy Director Zhou knew that Fang Hanmin was a technical elite of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory and was highly regarded by Director Yuan. He did not dare to make the decision to punish Fang Hanmin easily, so he reported the matter to the top leader and let Director Yuan make the decision.
"This old guy! He actually came to the factory to complain." Fang Hanmin cursed in his heart, looking a little distracted.
"Hanmin, what are you thinking about? Is this happening?" Director Yuan asked.
Fang Hanmin could only admit obediently, "This is happening. Director Yuan, is the factory going to punish me?"
"Don't mention the punishment for now. Tell me the whole story."
After listening to Fang Hanmin's detailed introduction, Director Yuan not only did not get angry, but laughed loudly, "So that's what happened, Hanmin, why didn't you tell me earlier? This is a good thing! You, an older young man, finally have a girlfriend , I’m happy for you, I have to congratulate you!”
"However, what Director Zhou reported to you is also true. When I got off work yesterday, the dormitory administrator told me that if my girlfriend is not allowed to live in the borrowed dormitory, I will have to let her live in a hotel."
Factory Director Yuan waved his hand, "There are dormitories, so why stay in a hotel? I know about this, don't worry about what they say! Did you just say that your girlfriend lives in the borrowed dormitory?"
"Yes, I live in the dormitory of one of my female colleagues."
"How can you live in a borrowed dormitory? Aren't you afraid of your girlfriend's jokes? I'll ask Lao Zhou to move you into a big dormitory. It would be great for you to live together!"
"Director Yuan, my girlfriend and I haven't received our marriage certificate yet." Fang Hanmin said shyly.
"Ouch! Look, I made random suggestions without understanding the situation. I'm sorry, I made a mistake. Why don't you ask the logistics department to reserve a dormitory for you as your girlfriend's guest house, so that you don't have to borrow it from colleagues in the future? dormitory."
"Director Yuan, as far as I know, the single dormitory is very tight now. Even if you tell Director Zhou, the logistics department may not be able to do it. Besides, my girlfriend only comes once or twice a month, and I don't want to do it. Special, if it is allowed, I think it is good as it is now." Fang Hanmin did not want to cause more trouble to the leader.
"Well, I'm glad you can understand the difficulties in the factory. If your girlfriend also thinks it's good like this, then continue like this, and no one will bother you again in the future."
To be honest, Fang Hanmin didn't take this seriously from the beginning. He felt that even if he brought trouble to the factory leaders, his actions were excusable. After all, Fang Hanmin was an older young man and it was hard to find a girlfriend. The factory wouldn't give it to him. It’s okay to provide convenience. It would be too unkind to hold on to him any longer! In addition, Fang Hanmin, as the technical section chief, has made great contributions to the entire factory. If the factory refuses to give up on this matter, how can he work with peace of mind in the future?
After finding out the truth of the matter, Fang Hanmin was pleased with Lao Yuan's attitude, "Director Yuan, thank you for your support."
"Hey, I feel ashamed when I say it. I only discuss work with you and never care about your life-long events. As a factory director, I don't care about people! It's okay this time. You have a girlfriend, and I don't care either. You will blame yourself so much. Hanmin, how long have you been with your girlfriend?"
"We are middle school alumni and have been officially together for more than a year."
"It's not a short time! You are still an alumnus, and you are not young at this time. Shouldn't you hurry up and treat us to a wedding banquet?"
Fang Hanmin looked troubled, "I think so too, but there are still some obstacles."
"Aren't you free to love? Are there any obstacles?"
"My girlfriend is a Chinese teacher in a middle school in my hometown. If we start a family now, we will inevitably live in separate places, which will cause inconvenience to both of our jobs."
"What do you want to do? You two can't always be like this!" Director Yuan was worried for Fang Hanmin.
"I want to transfer my girlfriend to work in the city."
Lao Yuan nodded appreciatively, "Your idea is very good. After solving the problem of separation between the two places, both of you can devote yourself to work. But your girlfriend teaches in a rural middle school, right? She was transferred from the countryside to the city. I don't know. Is it easy to handle?"
"It shouldn't be that simple, but I checked the relevant policies. According to my conditions, it seems that I should enjoy some care. Director Yuan, you know many people, and I would like to ask you to help me inquire about this situation."
Lao Yuan immediately agreed, "No problem, it's my duty. Your girlfriend is a teacher. I'll ask friends in the society to go to the Education Bureau to help you find out how to handle the transfer and what conditions are required."
"My girlfriend graduated from the Chinese Department of the Provincial Normal College. Her academic qualifications meet the requirements. She is also a model teacher in our county and has published several papers in middle school Chinese teaching magazines. Her professional skills should be fine."
"The conditions are very good. I will find someone to go to the Education Bureau to inquire before taking the next step." Director Yuan promised.
Regarding Song Yuping's job transfer, Fang Hanmin felt that he was under a lot of pressure. Apart from having certain qualifications, he didn't know anyone in Shuangling City, so he could only turn to others for help.
Fang Hanmin was trying to talk to Factory Director Yuan about this matter in the past two days. He wanted to ask Lao Yuan for help, but he couldn't say it. Today he just used this opportunity to bring up the topic. Fang Hanmin felt a lot more relaxed.
After receiving Lao Yuan's promise, Fang Hanmin was filled with joy, "Thank you, Director Yuan! I have no friends in society, so I have to rely on your help for this matter."
"Hanmin, I will definitely help with this, but as we just said, transferring from rural to urban areas is inherently difficult. In addition, I don't have direct friends in the Education Bureau, and I also need someone to support me. Therefore, it is unlikely that this matter will be completed in a short period of time, so you must be mentally prepared."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter three or two years. We are willing to wait."
"But have you ever thought about it, if you wait until the transfer is completed before getting married, you will be in your thirties."
Faced with Lao Yuan's reminder, Fang Hanmin thought for a while, "If it really takes two or three years to adjust, we don't necessarily have to wait that long. We can live separately in the two places for a short time."
Factory Director Yuan nodded in agreement, "Well, this is the pragmatic approach. If you get married early, where are you going to set up your family?"
"Of course it's my side, because she has to come here sooner or later. In addition, schools are closed on Sundays and holidays, so she can run here. It's different for me. When I'm busy at work, it's normal to work overtime. Run to her when you have time!"
The purpose of considering problems is to facilitate work. This is Fang Hanmin's heartfelt thought. Where can I find such employees? Director Yuan sincerely praised: "Hanmin, you have thought so carefully! In the future, the burden on your shoulders may be heavier, and you really won't have time to run back and forth. If you can't be transferred to the city as soon as possible, before you have children, Just work harder for your girlfriend and let her make more trips, but the problem will be solved sooner or later."
"That's all we have to do. I talked to her about it and she understood."
"Do you have any plans now? When are you going to get married? You have to tell me in advance so that the logistics department can prepare a house for you. Because the whole factory is in a tight housing situation, if we don't tell you in advance, we won't be able to solve the housing problem for you by then, trouble. That’s big.”
