Siheyuan: I just want to live

Along the way, Hou Debang enthusiastically introduced the various living facilities in the steel plant's family quarters to Chen Feng and his wife. His voice was full of pride and joy, as if these facilities were built by him personally.

Chen Feng and his wife listened quietly, their eyes sparkling with curiosity and expectation. They nodded from time to time to show their understanding or agreement, and occasionally exclaimed.

As the car slowly moved forward, Chen Feng and his wife followed Hou Debang's fingers closely, constantly changing direction back and forth, trying to take in every detail.

Not long after, the car they were riding in passed another gate. At this time, Hou Debang turned around and said to Chen Feng with a smile: "Brother Chen! Now we have passed this gate, and next we will officially enter the production area of ​​the steel plant!"

Hearing this, Chen Feng and his wife looked at each other, with a hint of excitement and nervousness in their eyes. They knew that what was about to unfold before their eyes would be a busy and spectacular industrial scene.

To be honest, whether in his previous life or now, Chen Feng had never been in such close contact with a large heavy industrial factory. In his previous life, he only occasionally glimpsed it on TV and did not really understand it in depth.

This is not Chen Feng's fault. He was born in a large agricultural province in central China in his previous life, and after graduating from junior high school, he chose to go to the southern coastal areas to work.

As we all know, the country's heavy industrial bases are basically located in the north or inland areas, while the southern coastal areas are dominated by light industry. Therefore, Chen Feng has never had the opportunity to come into contact with the heavy industry field.

After arriving in this era, Chen Feng inherited his grandfather's position and went directly to work at a scrap recycling station. Unlike other time travelers, he did not enter a steel mill, and naturally missed the opportunity to have close contact with heavy industry.

As for Jin Ling, that goes without saying. In this era, people generally tend to work in large factories.

After all, the welfare benefits and salary packages provided by large factories are far beyond what those small factories under the street offices below can offer.

Now that she was lucky enough to be able to work in a large factory, she was naturally very excited. Although she was working in a supply and marketing cooperative under the steel plant, it was still considered working in a large factory.

As the car slowly drove past a building, Hou Debang pointed at it and said to Chen Feng beside him: "Brother Chen, this is the auditorium I just mentioned."

He then explained in detail, "This auditorium is an important place in our steel plant. Every general cadre meeting in the plant is held here."

"So, you must remember this location and don't go to the wrong place when you attend meetings next time."

Chen Feng stared earnestly at the spacious building in front of him, which was made of solid reinforced concrete. He nodded slightly, indicating that he had firmly remembered Hou Debang's instructions, and responded: "Brother Hou, don't worry, I will keep it in mind and will never make a mistake!"

Hearing Chen Feng's firm answer, Hou Debang nodded with satisfaction, but did not say much. Instead, he continued to point to other buildings in the factory area and introduced to Chen Feng one by one which workshop they belonged to and their functions.

While listening attentively to Hou Debang's explanation, Chen Feng carefully observed each building and nodded from time to time to express his understanding and agreement.

Soon, the jeep stopped in front of the steel plant's office building. After the car stopped, Chen Feng saw Hou Debang getting off the car, so he quickly got off with his wife.

After getting off the car, Hou Debang said to Chen Feng, "Brother Chen, I will take you to the Logistics Department to see our Minister Liu first, and then take you to the Personnel Department to start work."

Chen Feng smiled slightly when he heard Hou Debang's words, and then said, "Brother Hou, we have no objection. We will follow your arrangements!"

When Hou Debang heard what Chen Feng said, he immediately said with a smile, "Okay, let's go!"

In fact, he went to see Minister Liu first, just like Chen Feng went to see Li Guotao when he took over, all in order to show his file to the leader.

The farm where Chen Feng joined was also under the management of the logistics department, so he went to see Minister Liu. In fact, he could also report to the director and secretary of the steel plant.

But, after all, Chen Feng was recruited by Hou Debang. It would be a bit unreasonable if he reported to the factory director and the secretary.

After the three of them walked halfway up the floor, they began to climb up the stairs.

As Hou Debang climbed the stairs, he complained to Chen Feng: "Brother Chen, let me tell you something! This office building is good in every way, except that it's too high! Every time I go up or down the stairs, I'm exhausted!"

Chen Feng listened to Hou Debang's complaints and replied with a smile: "Brother Hou, going up and down the stairs is a good way to exercise your body!"

Hou Debang thought it made sense, so he responded with a smile: "Haha, Chen Feng, you are right, it really does play a role in exercise!"

After saying that, the three of them continued walking upstairs, talking and laughing.

While Chen Feng and Hou Debang were chatting and laughing, they climbed to the fifth floor, walked along the corridor, and came to an office. Hou Debang stood at the door and knocked respectfully.

I heard a knock on the door, and soon after, I heard a voice saying, "Come in, the door is not closed!"

So Hou Debang led Chen Feng and his wife into the office.

After Chen Feng entered the office, he saw a chubby old man, probably in his fifties, sitting behind his desk and tidying up the documents on the table.

When he saw Hou Debang bringing Chen Feng in, his eyes lit up and a friendly smile appeared on his face. He said to Hou Debang, "Old Hou, this is the Chen Feng and his lover you told me about, right?"

His tone revealed his expectation and curiosity about them. He was also very curious about why Hou Debang was so eager to recommend Chen Feng, a young man, to him.

However, although I don’t know what’s going on, after all, Lao Hou has followed me for so many years, and it’s difficult for me to refuse someone he strongly recommends.

It's the position of deputy director of a subordinate farm, just a section-level cadre. I'll give it to him. It will be a good opportunity to win over Lao Hou, a capable man.

When Hou Debang heard Minister Liu ask this, he nodded and said, "Yes, Minister Liu, this is Chen Feng and Chen Feng's lover!"

At the same time, he looked at Chen Feng, his eyes full of admiration.

After hearing what Hou Debang said, Minister Liu stood up, extended his right hand enthusiastically across the desk, and said, "Welcome Comrade Chen Feng to our steel plant! I am Liu Jiajun, the head of the logistics department of the steel plant."

Seeing this, Chen Feng was delighted and quickly walked forward to the desk. He reached out his hand across the desk and held Liu Jiajun's hand tightly.

I said gratefully: "Thank you Minister Liu for your concern and support. I will work hard and live up to your expectations!"

Liu Jiajun felt Chen Feng's sincerity and determination, shook Chen Feng's hand vigorously, and encouraged him: "Young man, work hard! Our steel plant is a big stage. As long as you have talent and are willing to work hard, you will definitely achieve something!"

Chen Feng nodded firmly and said, "Minister Liu, I will!"

Then, Liu Jiajun asked about Chen Feng's lover, and asked with concern: "Chen Feng, is your lover here too?"

Chen Feng smiled and nodded, then waved behind him, motioning Jin Ling to step forward.

Liu Jiajun looked at Chen Feng's lover, smiled gently, and said, "Welcome to the steel plant. From now on, you will be a member of this big family. If you have any difficulties, please let us know. We will do our best to help you solve them."

Jin Ling responded politely: "Thank you for your concern, we will adapt to the new environment as soon as possible."

Liu Jiajun nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Chen Feng and continued to exhort him: "Chen Feng, although the work in the steel mill is hard, it is also a place to train people. I hope you can display your talents here and contribute to the country's steel industry."

Chen Feng replied solemnly: "I understand, Minister Liu. I will cherish this opportunity, work hard to improve myself, and contribute to the development of the steel plant."

Liu Jiajun nodded again and encouraged Chen Feng: "I believe you can do it!"

After talking with Chen Feng, Minister Liu said to Hou Debang, "Old Hou! Take Chen Feng and his lover to the Personnel Department to handle the onboarding process!"

When Hou Debang heard what Minister Liu said, he immediately responded, "Okay, Minister Liu, I'll take Chen Feng to go through the on-the-job procedures right away!"

Seeing Hou Debang say this, Liu Jiajun nodded, then turned to Chen Feng and said, "Comrade Chen Feng, I still have some work to deal with, so I won't personally lead you to the job."

"Just follow Lao Hou, he will take care of your employment issues!"

When Chen Feng heard what Liu Jiajun said, he immediately said, "Okay, Minister Liu, I understand! Then you are busy, we won't disturb you!"

Liu Jiajun nodded after hearing what Chen Feng said, and then said, "Okay, follow Lao Hou to go through the employment procedures! I won't see you off!"

Hearing Liu Jiajun's words, Hou Debang quickly said, "Minister Liu, please stay. I'll take them to work!"

When Minister Liu heard Hou Debang's words, he just nodded and didn't say much.

Seeing this, Chen Feng knew it was time to leave, so he bowed slightly to him and said, "Minister Liu, you are busy, we will leave now!"

Minister Liu nodded slightly to Chen Feng in response.

Seeing this, the matter was over, so Hou Debang took Chen Feng and Jin Ling and left the office.

Chen Feng and his lover said goodbye to Liu Jiajun, and Hou Debang took Chen Feng downstairs.

As they walked, Hou Debang introduced the departments in the building to Chen Feng.

Hou Debang said to Chen Feng, "Brother Chen, the first floor of this office building is basically occupied by the offices of the Security Department. The second floor is the offices of several departments of the Purchasing Department."

"The third and fourth floors are the offices of personnel, labor unions, propaganda, women's federations and other personnel. The fifth floor is the finance department and the offices of some factory leaders."

"As for the sixth floor, that's where the offices of the factory secretary, director, and deputy director are located."

Listening to Hou Debang's words, Chen Feng just nodded and didn't say much.

Although Chen Feng was a little confused as to why Liu Jiajun, the logistics director, did not have the title of deputy director like Director Li of the steel rolling mill.

However, Chen Feng did not ask Hou Debang immediately.
