Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

After the two accountants from the Finance Department left, Zhang Renkang smiled and said

"Didn't we discuss this morning how to come up with something new for this year's May Day ceremony? I have a general idea, please give it a review."

Li Huaide smiled

"Tell me, let me see what new ideas you have this morning."

Zhang Renkang said

"This year, the leaders of the May Day ceremony will come to visit. First, we need to show the spirit of the whole factory. I plan to have the whole factory sing the East is Red at the opening ceremony. It doesn't need to be very uniform, as long as the tune can be followed and the passionate spirit can be shown."

Li Huaide nodded without saying anything, and Zhang Renkang continued

"The rest is nothing more than commendation meetings, performances, factory-wide dinners and movies at night. They are all the same old stuff and there is nothing new about them."

Li Huaide sighed and said

"Yes, it's almost the same thing every year. I'm just worried that the leaders above will come to the factory to attend our celebration this year. Although our thinking committee has done a good job, how can we make them shine?"

Zhang Renkang laughed

"How about a group wedding?"

Li Huaide became interested and asked,

"How do you do it? Tell me."

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"I just went to the textile factory, and I saw that there are more unmarried lesbians in their factory. We have more gay men here, so why don't we hold a social gathering in April and bring together the new young men we selected and the female workers in the textile factory. If we can form a few hundred couples, you and the leaders above will collectively match them up on May 1st."

"Isn't this the new era's working class alliance? They will definitely like it."

Li Huaide slapped his thigh and laughed

"You are amazing, boy. This is great. This is great. Letting them come down can not only show their faces, but also see the thriving side of our factory. This is great."

Zhang Renkang turned around and whispered

"There is another important thing here. Have you ever thought about it? Our factory has recruited many unmarried young men as apprentices in the past two years. They are all young and energetic. You also know that there are more and more signs of trouble. We have to stabilize the basic foundation of the factory. Otherwise, if someone instigates it and chaos breaks out, can you bear the responsibility?"

Li Huaide also looked serious as he thought about it. Last year, there was quite a stir outside, and the child of one of his comrades was implicated. It was only after Li Huaide begged his father-in-law that he got the child out. Now he is being protected as a clerk in the steel mill.

Zhang Renkang continued softly

"You will host weddings for at least 400 families. They will appreciate your kindness. With these 400 couples as role models, we can go to other factories to get together with the remaining young men. They will have to perform well, learn skills and take professional exams. This will stabilize their lives. As for those who are not very active, few of them will be willing to follow us and go against us."

Li Huaide nodded and said softly with gratitude

"You are right. I think this plan is feasible. Renkang, I will remember your contribution. As long as I, Li Huaide, am here, you can rest assured that you will have a place in the steel mill."

Zhang Renkang laughed

"Director, what you said is not true. It was you who reserved a position in the Personnel Department for me. Although I didn't go, I will always remember this favor."

Li Huaide said with relief

"You are a kind and righteous kid. Go make a plan and do it according to your ideas. After the May Day celebration is over, I will promote you."

Zhang Renkang nodded and went out. He had to go back and make arrangements for tomorrow's trip to Miyun. Only when the first batch of goods from there entered the factory would the matter be settled. He could then prepare for the Lou family's departure. Today was already March 12th, and Lou Huaijin and the others would have to leave in ten days.

Zhang Renkang returned to the office of the Ideological and Political Affairs Committee and asked Tang Yan to call Chen Wei from the Transportation Department. Chen Wei's personnel relationship had now been transferred to the Transportation Department as the team leader, and his salary had been raised from an eighth-level clerk to a fourth-level clerk. This made Chen Gang very happy that night and he praised Renkang for being righteous. He then went to the Personnel Department to call Section Chief Li Chunhua.

Zhang Renkang said to Chen Wei

"Please check the convoy carefully and confirm the time with the security personnel. We will set off at six o'clock tomorrow morning. You can drive to my place in advance to pick me up."

Chen Wei nodded and smiled

"Director, don't worry. I have arranged everything. Two Liberation Army vehicles in the best condition, plus two jeeps. The Security Department has dispatched a small team of eight security guards to escort the vehicles with a basic amount of ammunition tomorrow."

Zhang Renkang nodded and said

"Okay, the Finance Department will send two accountants to accompany us, you can make the arrangements then."

After Chen Wei finished speaking, Li Chunhua, the head of the Personnel Department, knocked on the door and came in. Li Chunhua was a woman in her forties. She was originally a liaison officer of the underground party organization in Rehe. After liberation, she was transferred from Dongdan Street to the Louji Steel Mill during the period of public-private partnership to serve as the head of the Personnel Department. After the Lou family donated the steel mill, she had been the head of the Personnel Department for nearly four years.

Li Chunhua said with a smile

"Director Zhang, did you call me here to tell me something?"

Zhang Renkang smiled and stood up, pulled the chair over to her from the opposite table and said with a smile

"Aunt Li, please stop joking. How dare I give you an order? I came to you because I want to ask you for advice on something."

Zhang Renkang's mother came to the steel mill with Li Chunhua before. The two sisters had a good relationship. After Sun Xiuyu passed away, Li Chunhua also took care of Zhang Renkang in the factory. Otherwise, why did Li Huaide agree to reserve a position in the personnel department for Zhang Renkang so readily? This was also due to Li Chunhua's contribution.

Li Chunhua said with a smile

"What good news is there, Director Zhang?"

Zhang Renkang smiled and made a cup of tea for Li Chunhua and said:

"Aunt Li, are you familiar with the list of young men in this factory, especially the apprentices recruited last year and the students assigned this year?"

Li Chunhua said with a smile

"You kid even tested your aunt, how could I not know?"

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"It's like this. I've been to the textile factory quite a lot these days. As you know, there are more young men here than young women there. I want to organize some of the outstanding young men in our factory to have a social gathering with them."

"Wouldn't this help solve the life problems of the young men in our factory? It would also motivate them to concentrate on learning technology and avoid getting into trouble every day. You may not know that Uncle Chen has been nagging me a lot during this period."

Li Chunhua nodded and smiled

"This is a good thing, Renkang, you really have a way. Okay, Aunt Li will take this job."

"Tell me what the rules are."

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"Here's what I think. This time we're targeting young men between the ages of 28 and . We require that they have no disciplinary violations from last year to now. We'll also conduct a technical evaluation on the th of this month, and we'll divide them into groups based on their progress and the best technical evaluations. How about a hundred people in each group?"

Li Chunhua thought for a moment and said

"What if both of them fall in love with one of them?"

Zhang Renkang laughed and said

"It's not that easy. We'll start on April 5th and have a five-day get-together after work. One hundred people will be divided into five groups. We'll meet and eat in five cafeterias, and then gather in the big square to watch a movie."

"This way we can give them time to interact with each other freely, and those who can make it will probably be willing to go to the movies. For those who can't make it, we can organize them to meet in the auditorium. Anyway, if they can make it, they'll be a couple."

"But what you said does make sense. We will arrange for the security and production department to be on duty. Anyone who causes trouble will be fired from the factory and never hired again."

Li Chunhua nodded and said with a smile

"That's great. In that case, I'll go back and select some suitable names, and then we'll choose from them."

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"Okay, you decide on this matter."
