The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

Lin Zhiyuan and Yao Peichen were lamenting the changes of the times, but the other employees in the activity room didn't think so much. They happily played games and performed shows. Everyone who came up to participate could get a small gift, or socks, or It's a bottle of shampoo.

This kind of Spring Festival tea party, which is common at Legang headquarters, has become a new thing for these locals in eastern Guangdong.

Many of these people used to work in private enterprises in eastern Guangdong. What private enterprises pursue is profits, and bosses don't have the leisure time to put down production and have tea parties.

During the Spring Festival in the past, these people either took leave early and went home to celebrate the New Year, or they were still working overtime to catch up on orders. It was the first time for many people to experience an event like this where a whole morning was devoted to socializing.

This also made them deeply feel the huge difference between traditional old state-owned enterprises and private enterprises.

At half past eleven, the Spring Festival tea party ended. The employees took their own small gifts and went to the canteen to eat while talking and laughing.

The meal at noon today is free, with mostly meat dishes. In addition to typical Northeastern dishes such as chicken legs and pork ribs, there are also famous Eastern Guangdong dishes such as beef brisket.

Lin Zhiyuan also went to the canteen for a quick bite. After the meal, he took the car back to Ersha Island.

As soon as he entered the villa gate, the sound of talking, laughing, TV, and clattering mahjong gave him the illusion that he was back in Gian at this moment.

Zhou Hai and Su Sheng were playing mahjong with Su Qiancheng and their godmother.

Shafeifei took Asu, Xiaoan and Xiaoqiu to play games in the living room.

Ning Xiufen, Su Jin, Lin Jingping, Shen Juan, and Aunt Wang were making dumplings.

The breath of the new year is blowing towards my face.

The sound of pots and pans came from the kitchen. This was the chef Lin Zhiyuan specially hired from the restaurant. Since he is celebrating the Spring Festival in Yangcheng this year, Lin Zhiyuan decided to ask a Cantonese chef to cook two tables of typical Eastern Cantonese New Year's Eve dinners for everyone.

Shortly after Lin Zhiyuan arrived home, Yao Peichen and his wife, Xue Zhaokuan, Xie Wei and Qi Yu also arrived.

Yang Zhilan set up another mahjong table. Lin Dajun, Lin Zhiyuan, Yao Peichen and Yang Zhilan played mahjong.

Lin Zhiyuan played two games of mahjong. Su Jin finished making dumplings, moved a stool, and sat next to him.

Lin Zhiyuan knew that since arriving in Yangcheng, Su Jin often played mahjong with Fang Ya and the others, and now was the time when the addiction was getting worse.

"Want to play?"

Su Jin nodded repeatedly, and Lin Zhiyuan gave up his position to her.

In the small courtyard outside the villa, Xie Wei and Qi Yu were playing and shouting with three children.

Lin Zhiyuan lit a cigarette, sat in the pavilion in the yard, and watched everything happily.

After a while, Ning Xiufen and Sha Feifei came out and pulled the three children into the house to wash their hands. Xie Wei and Qi Yu entered the pavilion.

"Mr. Lin, happy New Year!" Qi Yu finally found an opportunity to wish Lin Zhiyuan a happy New Year.

"Xiao Qi, sit down!" Lin Zhiyuan pointed to the bench opposite, and Xie Wei pulled Qi Yu to sit down.

"Xiao Qi, are you still used to your new job?" Qi Yu was originally a scientific researcher at the Leather Steel Research Institute. The Yangcheng Branch was established, and the Steel Research Institute set up a branch in the Yangcheng Branch, and Qi Yu was sent here. .

"Mr. Lin, I'm used to it. The equipment in the new unit is very new and the funds are sufficient. We are all very confident and want to produce more scientific research results." Qi Yu answered Lin Zhiyuan's question politely, "And here Many of my colleagues are graduate students from prestigious universities, so I am under a lot of pressure.”

"Your Institute of Steel Research is the brains of Lesteel. I remember you have a bachelor's degree. I'm afraid this degree is not enough at the Institute of Steel, so I still need to study higher."

"Mr. Lin, I have a graduate degree now. During the two years that Xie Wei was in eastern Guangdong, I had nothing to do at home alone, so I took the master's degree exam."

"That's great!" Lin Zhiyuan glanced at Xie Wei, "Xie Wei, your wife has a master's degree, you have to work hard too!"

Xie Wei scratched the back of his head and said with a silly smile, "Mr. Lin, I can do anything you want, just don't let me study. I'm not material for studying."

The three chatted for a while, and two boys, Xiao An and Xiao Qiu, ran out of the villa and found Xie Wei, insisting that he take them to set off the whip. For some reason, Xie Wei's relationship with children has always been particularly good, and children all like to stick to him.

Soon, the crackling sound of firecrackers started ringing.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the New Year's Eve dinner started on time.

Two tables of New Year's Eve dinner with an obvious Cantonese flavor wafted out.

Because he had to go to express condolences in the evening, Lin Zhiyuan only drank a little wine.

This New Year's Eve dinner took more than two hours to finish.

At around six o'clock, Lin Zhiyuan and Yao Peichen came out of the villa, took their own cars, and went to various grassroots factories and mines of the Yangcheng Branch to express condolences.

The rest of the family also went to the city to visit the flower market.

In the Northeast, because of the cold weather, everyone can only stay at home and watch the Spring Festival Gala. It’s warm as spring here in Yangcheng, and everyone is willing to go out for a walk.

The first factory Lin Zhiyuan visited was the galvanized sheet factory.

When his car drove into the factory gate, factory director Zhu Peifan, who had been waiting there for a long time, hurried up to greet him.

Zhu Peifan was formerly the deputy equipment director of the galvanized sheet factory and was an old subordinate of Lin Zhiyuan. After the Yangcheng branch was established, he signed up to come here and became the director.

"Mr. Lin, happy New Year!" Zhu Peifan greeted Lin Zhiyuan as soon as they met.

"Happy New Year to everyone!"

Accompanied by everyone, Lin Zhiyuan walked into the workshop.

"Masters, thank you for your hard work. I'm here to wish you all a happy New Year. Today is New Year's Eve. It's not easy for you to stick to your jobs."

The old leather steel workers present were used to this, but the local employees who were recruited later might have encountered this kind of situation for the first time. They all stood there, a little at a loss, and just giggled.

Xue Zhaokuan walked forward quickly and stuffed two boxes of Huazi and a large bag of candy into the hands of the workshop director on duty.

"This is a gift brought by Mr. Lin for everyone."

Lin Zhiyuan made a joke, "I will give you cigarettes, but you are not allowed to smoke in the workshop. If you want to smoke, go to the smoking spot outside. If you violate the regulations, I will not care about the fine."

Everyone laughed in unison.

Lin Zhiyuan visited six factories in one go. When all the factories and mines were gone, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

Xie Wei drove the car carefully. When passing by Shanan Port, Lin Zhiyuan turned his head and saw brightly lit lights in the direction of the port. A huge gantry crane hoisted the tightly bundled wire rods onto the ship. This kind of scene cannot be seen in Gian.

Lin Zhiyuan got out of the car, lit a cigarette, and looked at the port in the distance.

This is the advantage of setting up a factory in Yangcheng. With this port, the raw materials required for production and finished steel products can be shipped in and out with minimal freight charges. This is an advantage that Ge'an does not have.

Fireworks suddenly burst out in the night sky in the direction of the city, making them dazzling.

Lin Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment.

The chaotic year of 1998 has finally come to an end. Who knows what 1999 will bring to him?

The cell phone in his pocket rang. Lin Zhiyuan answered the call. Su Jin's gentle voice rang in his ears, "Have you finished your work over there? The whole family is waiting for you to make dumplings!"

A wave of heat surged through Lin Zhiyuan's heart, and he replied softly: "I'll go home right away!"
