Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chen Changan has been very busy recently, keeping an eye on the construction of the new factory every day, and communicating with the person in charge of the construction team on many details.

It’s autumn now, so we have to speed up as much as possible, otherwise it might be difficult to carry out construction when winter comes.

The new factory has not yet been built, and the director of the processing plant has not yet stepped down. Chen Changan is still in charge of many matters of the processing plant.

After all, it is already autumn, and we are about to enter the peak season for honeycomb briquettes in winter. We need to increase the inventory ratio in advance.

All matters, big or small, required Chen Changan to make decisions and sign documents.

Fortunately, I have a motorcycle, so it is convenient to run back and forth.

Without even a helper at this time, Chen Changan began to miss the secretary of the motorcycle factory assigned to him by his superiors.

After all, with a secretary, at least I can relax a little. With the secretary looking after the construction site, I can just sit back and do nothing.

In recent days, because of overtime work at the construction site, Chen Changan also worked overtime. After returning home, his sisters had already gone to bed under the leadership of Xiuying.

They haven't seen Chen Changan for several days, and Chen Changan feels a little guilty.

The next day, I took some time to go to the street office and complain to Director Wang.

As soon as he entered the room, Chen Changan said to Director Wang, "Auntie Wang, can you tell me whether I have become darker and thinner recently?"

Director Wang said with a smile, "You are so young, so what's wrong with being a little busy? When we were young, we didn't have the conditions you have now."

Chen Changan said aggrievedly, "During this period, I have been running back and forth every day. The motorcycle factory needs me to communicate details, and the honeycomb coal factory is about to enter winter, and we need to increase production and contact coal.

During this period, I get up earlier than the chickens and sleep later than the dogs. Every day when I come home, my sisters are already asleep. They haven’t seen me for several days. If this continues, I’m afraid my sisters will forget that I have a big brother. ”

Director Wang was also amused by Chen Changan's words and asked, "Then what do you want to do?"

Chen Changan already had an idea, otherwise he wouldn't have come here rashly just to complain.

So he said without hesitation, "Originally the motorcycle factory was planning to arrange a secretary, but I heard that he is still in the army handing over his work, and there is no definite information on when he will arrive.

I'm about to be transferred to our honeycomb coal factory. Aunt Wang, have you prepared a successor? If you have one, please arrange it quickly. While I can still take care of this place, you can also understand the situation with me.

After I leave, you can start right away, so that you don’t have to wait until winter, the peak season for honeycomb briquettes, to start the job. Don’t rush and mess things up, or else something might go wrong.”

Director Wang looked at Chen Changan with satisfaction and said, "You are worthy of being a leader in a large company. I had this idea originally, but I was afraid that you would misunderstand and think that you haven't left yet, so I arranged for someone to take over. I was afraid that you would think I was driving you away. So I was planning to talk to you about this matter in the next two days. I didn't expect you to come here today."

Hearing this, Chen Changan said, "Aunt Wang, I was raised by you. Don't you know what kind of person I am? I will definitely be lazy if I can.

Others may misunderstand that someone is helping me, but for me, I just want someone to work while I sleep."

Director Wang smiled and said, "Okay, this saves me from having to go look for you and waste my time. Let's do it tomorrow. I'll arrange for someone to go to the honeycomb coal processing factory to find you. When will you be in the factory?"

Chen Changan thought for a moment and said, "I should be at the motorcycle factory's construction site this morning, and I'll go back to the factory for lunch. When you've chosen someone, come find me in the cafeteria at noon, right?

Otherwise, I can’t guarantee where I will be at other times. I may be busy at the processing plant in the afternoon, or I may be back at the construction site to keep an eye on things.”

"Okay, that's settled then." After Director Wang finished speaking, Chen Changan did not have time to say a few more words and hurried back to the construction site.

There was no way. In Chen Changan's opinion, the architectural designs of this era were always a little petty. Some designs, viewed from the perspective of later generations, always seemed a little anti-human.

It’s not that the workers’ skills are not good enough, nor that the quality is not good enough, but the design concept on the drawings.

The general direction is fine, the appearance design and the factory building are just so-so. Only some small details will always cause inconvenience in future use.

Without violating discipline, Chen Changan needs to tell the construction team in detail what he wants it to look like and what its function will be.

It also depends on whether the final product is what Chen Changan wants. If it is not right, it must be changed in time.

This also made the person in charge of the construction team complain that Chen Changan was asking too much. They were already rushing to complete the project, and couldn't wait until it snowed.

As a result, Chen Changan made this request today and that request tomorrow for those small details, and even had to make changes if they were not correct.

Now this person in charge is hiding from Chen Changan every day. Once he is seen by Chen Changan, he will feel overwhelmed.

At this time, Chen Changan was standing on the second floor of an office building and looking into the distance.

In the distance, a river meanders, hundreds or even thousands of meters away from the motorcycle factory.

They were all wasteland. Chen Changan's idea was to wait for the secretary to come, tell him his idea, and let the secretary go to the leader first to take the land.

Chen Changan has his own long-term plan. He plans to build a residential compound for the motorcycle factory in this area.

It has its own kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, high school, technical secondary school, and even a university.

There are workers clubs, cinemas, shops and supermarkets.

There are also buildings designed by themselves, guest houses, and even a stadium.

There must be heating in winter, plus a factory hospital. It is much like those enterprises that were like small kingdoms during the Third Front Construction.

Maybe I am just the first director of this factory. Maybe this factory that I built with my own hands will one day face many problems such as unsalable products, factory closures, and worker layoffs.

However, Chen Changan felt that he still needed to seek benefits for the factory workers while in office.

At least this large piece of land will be a great fortune for the factory when it really goes bankrupt in a few decades. At least with the money from selling the land, when the factory goes bankrupt, it can also give some compensation to the workers who have worked hard for their entire lives in this factory.

This is also something that Chen Changan is barely able to do.

Of course, Chen Changan will also do his best to make the factory more competitive.

Looking at the setting sun, Chen Changan was filled with emotion and hoped that everything would go well in the future.
