Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

"Come on, come on, Xiao Cao, this is your new seat, and you will work here from now on."

"Yes, thank you, Section Chief Sun."

"Thank you. I already know your situation. With your ability and talent, you should have come to work with us a long time ago."

"Haha, that's all thanks to the leadership's cultivation."

"Be polite and say kind words again.

Okay, you can get busy. Wait until Sister Niu comes. Chat with her and get to know each other. If you don’t understand anything, just ask her and I won’t get involved. Well, let’s go now. We’ll see you later.

Let’s have dinner together.”

"Okay, Chief Sun, Chief Sun, please go slowly."

After seeing Section Chief Sun off, Cao Zhiqiang breathed a sigh of relief and began to sit down at his desk.

As soon as he sat down, a middle-aged aunt suddenly walked across from Cao Zhiqiang's table carrying an enamel jar and said with a smile: "Hey, you are the new Comrade Cao Zhiqiang, right?"

"Yes." Cao Zhiqiang stood up quickly, "I am Cao Zhiqiang, what do you call me, eldest sister?"

"My name is Niu Shufen, just call me Sister Niu." The aunt said with a smile, "I will sit across from you, and we will all be colleagues from now on."

Cao Zhiqiang blinked: "Yes, Sister Niu."

"Sit down, sit down and talk." Niu Shufen waved her hand, then took the lead and sat down opposite Cao Zhiqiang.

When Cao Zhiqiang also sat down, Niu Shufen smiled and said: "I've heard about your situation. You are actually the famous poet Qiangzi. It's really amazing."

"What the hell." Cao Zhiqiang pretended to be humble and scratched his head, "It's just a show of love."

Niu Shufen shook her head: "No, I have read the poem you wrote, and it is really good.

It's a pity. You should go to a magazine and be an editor and stay in our factory. It's a pity.

Even if you come to promote the department and clerk, it’s still the same, it’s a waste of your talent.”

Cao Zhiqiang chuckled and did not answer.

Seeing that Cao Zhiqiang didn't answer, Sister Niu blinked: "How is it? How does it feel to come here? This is an office, much better than being in a workshop, right?"

"Yes, it's good. It's much cleaner and more comfortable." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile.

Sister Niu said with a smile: "That's more than just comfortable.

Let me tell you, not to mention the workshop, even if it is compared to the magazine offices outside, there are special advantages here, that is, leisure and stability.

In addition, there is another benefit here, and that is the relationship issue.

You are a worker now, and when you become a formal worker in the future, even if you are not a college student, you can apply to be transferred from worker to cadre.

Of course you can't work elsewhere, but our factory has quotas for workers to be transferred to cadres. When the time comes, as long as you are still working here and the operation is good, you can definitely be transferred to cadres.

At that time, you will no longer have the status of a worker, but will have the status of a cadre, and your files can be submitted to the Personnel Bureau.

How difficult it is to get the status of a cadre. If you are outside, you can only advance through serving as a soldier or going to school, at least company commander or above, or technical secondary school or above.

I remember, you didn’t graduate from high school, right?

If you go to a magazine with your academic qualifications, it is a public institution, and at most you will be given a career editor position. It will be difficult to become a cadre.

But it’s different here. This is a state-owned enterprise, and the number of workers who can be transferred to cadres is far more than that of public institutions. We can use internal operations to transfer workers to cadres. This is not available elsewhere. Do you understand?"

Cao Zhiqiang continued to laugh without saying anything.

What can he say? Whatever he says is wrong, haha ​​is the best.

But he could see that this Sister Niu had no other intentions, she was just talking nonsense.

Fearing that she would say something she shouldn't say again, Cao Zhiqiang quickly asked, "Sister Niu, why are you the only one in our Hongguangtiandi magazine department? Where are the others?"

Sister Niu chuckled: "The others didn't come to work."

"Ah?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, "No, you didn't come to work?"

Sister Niu smiled and shook her head: "Well, let me tell you clearly, our magazine department is very relaxed. You don't have to come to work every day. Moreover, we usually don't have everyone together in the morning, and most people only get together in the afternoon."

"Why is this?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

"What else can I do? I have nothing to do." Sister Niu said, "Our magazine is an internal publication. It is only published within the factory. It is a monthly magazine. It is published once a month. It will be sent to everyone together with their salary.

In the hands of a worker.

As for the content, in addition to the promotional content arranged by the leaders above, there are also advanced individuals, good people and deeds sent from the various workshops below. Most of them are copied books.

To put it simply, we just look at other newspapers and magazines, and then excerpt the more important news and content, and we can excerpt it ourselves.

Of course, we can also write our own articles, such as finding news ourselves, writing content ourselves, etc., but that was all in the past.

Nowadays, who among the people in this factory still cares about the world of red light?

Everyone used this magazine as paper for mounting or burning firewood as kindling. It was too hard to rub on their buttocks, and few read the content. Anyway, it was all given for free.

Let me ask you, you used to be a worker in a workshop, have you ever read this magazine?"

Cao Zhiqiang shook his head subconsciously.

"Yeah!" Sister Niu said with a smile.

“Everyone doesn’t read the content anymore, so why should we bother with it? We’re just making a fool of ourselves.

When the issue is about to be published, everyone can just find some content from outside and piece it together.

If that's the case, why do you still come to work all day?

If you come to work and waste your workplace’s electricity and water bills, wouldn’t it be better to do it at home?

If you want to ask, just say that you went there to collect folk songs. Is that normal?

But, if the end of the month is approaching, everyone still needs to come and do some work together, and then drink tea, chat, play poker and chess, which is also good.

As for normal times, everyone takes turns sending someone to be on duty. In this way, if something happens, everyone can be notified in time to come and gather.

Just like today, I am on duty, so you can only see me today."

When Cao Zhiqiang heard this, he suddenly realized: "So that's it, isn't this just a freeloader... no, a nursing home?"

"That's pretty much it." Sister Niu sighed.

"I know what you mean. In fact, our world was prosperous, and there were prosperous times. Back then... Forget it, let's not mention those years. Anyway, it is what it is now, so just think of it as a nursing home.

However, do you think anyone can enter here?

Then you are wrong.

Let me tell you, I have been here for eight years, and you are still the first newcomer to this place in these eight years.

In the past eight years, there have been no newcomers here.

So here, even if you have a leisurely job, everyone has a cadre status, including me. You are the only one who is not a cadre.

Of course, you've been here for a while, and I guess it won't be difficult to transfer to a cadre after you become a full-time worker.

Also, aren’t you a famous poet?

It's so peaceful here, isn't it the best place for you to create?

You can always come here to create, and then continue to publish it in various magazines.

We don't care about that here.

It’s just that my level is poor, and I have more things to do as I get older. Lao Zhou, Lao Chen, and Lao Qian here are all writing articles and sending them to various magazines to earn extra royalties.

Of course, their level is definitely incomparable to yours. They have been working for almost ten years without making any name, unlike you, who has become a famous poet who is no one in the world.

So, this place is really good for you.

If it weren't for your special circumstances this time, you probably wouldn't be able to get in here."

"That's it." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "Thank you, Sister Niu, for clearing up the confusion."

"What the hell." Niu Shufen chuckled, "We will all be colleagues from now on, as we should."

Immediately afterwards, Niu Shufen raised her eyebrows and continued to say familiarly: "By the way, you are so young. Are you married? Do you have a partner?"

"No, I'm still single."

"Oh, it's good to be single. Let me tell you, I have a niece..."
