Chapter 6: Employment and the Origin of Lao Wang's Family
When he arrived at the door, Wang Xiaolong showed his letter of introduction and entered the steel rolling mill.
"The personnel department is over there. You can see it on the second floor." Wang Dalu said, pointing to the fourth-floor office building not far away.
"Okay, I can take care of the rest myself, you guys go to the workshop."
Wang Dalu was in workshop four and Wang Xiaolong was in workshop three. The two were quite far apart. The steel rolling mill was very large. Wang Xiaohu at least saw workshop eight, but he didn't know how many workshops there were in total.
There are probably four or five cafeterias. When they got here, they didn't eat in the same cafeteria, but went to the nearest cafeteria.
Yi Zhonghai is in the first workshop. The office building is close to the third canteen, so the third canteen is the largest and that is where Sha Zhu works.
"From now on, the security department's work will take half a day even for patrolling." It will be difficult if the place is large, and there may even be night shifts.
"Who are you, comrade?" Someone came over to ask as I walked into the Personnel Department.
"I'm a newly transferred security officer, Wang Xiaohu." Wang Xiaohu handed over the letter of introduction. The letter clearly stated the position and level.
To put it bluntly, Wang Xiaohu's position had already been arranged by his superiors, rather than him coming to the factory to ask what positions were available.
Moreover, the nature of the Security Department is very special. Although it is a department within the factory, it also has to cooperate with public security operations to handle many matters.
They are the personnel dispatched by the Public Security Bureau. After the restructuring in a few decades, many people in the security department will become police officers in the police station.
In fact, when he first started to change his career, he was given a choice. There was also a position called Public Security Special Commissioner, but Wang Xiaohu refused it because that job was exhausting.
"It turns out to be Captain Wang. I will get you started right away."
Wang Xiaohu's rank is not high, only level 45, and his monthly salary is yuan, and this is if he has made meritorious contributions, otherwise it would be even lower.
The people from the Personnel Department were very easy to talk to the people from the Security Department. Wang Xiaohu's procedures were completed in less than half an hour, and then he was taken to the Security Department.
"Chief Zhu, this is Wang Xiaohu, the new transferee. Please chat." The people from the Personnel Department came and left quickly, as if they were very afraid of the Security Department.
Section Chief Zhu put down the newspaper and said expressionlessly, "Comrade Wang Xiaohu, welcome to join the Steel Mill Security Department. We will be brothers in the same trench from now on. You will be responsible for patrolling the first workshop and the third canteen. You only need to patrol twice a day. As for the empty tables outside the desk, you can sit anywhere you want."
"Okay, Chief. I will ensure that the task is completed." Wang Xiaohu saluted, and Chief Zhu returned the salute. The two of them thus met each other.
I came outside, found a desk, and tidied up a bit. This is where I will be spending the next few years.
I looked around the office. The space is not small and there are quite a few desks, about fifty or sixty in total. However, only about 20 of them had things on them, which means there are only about 20 people in the security department.
There is also a locked warehouse next to it, which probably contains weapons.
"Hello, Comrade Xiaohu, I am the team leader Ma Tian, and I will be your guide from now on." After sitting for a while, a middle-aged man came over and said.
"Hello, Captain Ma."
"Don't call me Captain Ma, everyone in the department calls me Old Ma." Ma Tian is very friendly, at least Wang Xiaohu feels good about him.
"Lao Ma, the section chief is calling you."
"Coming." Martin responded, and then said, "I'll go over first. You can do whatever you need to do. If you're bored, go out for patrol. If you don't like the heat, drink tea in the house."
……
After joining the company,
On the first day, Wang Xiaohu waited until the end of his get off work day. He didn't go out much the whole day, except for two patrols.
When it was time to get off work, he and Wang Dalu returned to the courtyard together.
All the white cloth and other things in the yard have been put away, it seems that Jia Dongxu's business has been settled.
"It seems that Jia Dongxu has been buried. I didn't expect it to be so fast. Yi Zhonghai is really disgusting. It can be done in one day, but he actually wants to do it in seven days."
“So we don’t listen to anything Yi Zhonghai says these years. We only look at the tangible benefits.” Wang Dalu said soberly.
Wang Xiaolong also said: "Since the uncles appeared in this courtyard, except for the first few years, it was fine. After you joined the army, it became worse every year. Now the third uncle has begun to take charge of everything and often holds meetings for the whole courtyard."
Wang Xiaohu frowned. It seemed to be true. Before he joined the army, the system of the uncles had only been established for two or three years. He didn't know what happened afterwards, so he asked curiously, "Director Wang, don't you care about this? The authority of the uncle in charge is not that great, right?"
Wang Dalu lit a pot of old welding cigarettes, took a puff and said: "Some people have reported it, but it fell on deaf ears. Gradually, no one said anything. Fortunately, these three uncles have their own weaknesses and they restrain each other. They dare not go too far, otherwise everyone would not have been so indulgent."
At this time, Zhang Hailian came out with the meal, which was cornmeal soup. There was not even any steamed buns tonight.
"Mom, is there not enough food at home?" Wang Xiaohu has a lot of food in his space. If he really is short of food, he has to find a reason to take it out.
"Alas... It's like this every month. Now there's a food shortage everywhere. Our city is relatively well off, but people are starving to death in the countryside."
"Grandpa and grandma, are your grandparents having a hard time?"
Speaking of which, Lao Wang’s family has roots in the countryside.
That is Changping District.
Wang Xiaohu has been to Xiayuan Village several times. The geographical location is okay, but don’t think it’s in the same city. The straight-line distance to there is 35 kilometers, and the winding mountain road may be as long as 70 kilometers.
Forget about going to grandma's house. In a valley in Changping District, there is a village with a nice name, called Huaguoshan Village. It is Wang Xiaohu's favorite place to go because he can catch wild game in the mountains.
"It's more than difficult. The bark of the trees has been eaten away, and the Qintun River is almost dry. A few days ago, when we went back, we saw people from the two villages fighting for water." Sister-in-law Zhang Lanxi also said.
"I also helped in the fight, and I was pretty good at it." Wang Jiujin said proudly.
Opposite Xiayuan Village is Qinjiatun, Qin Huairu’s mother’s home. People from the two villages have often fought over water sources.
"Did we win?" Wang Xiaohu asked with concern.
"We won the fight and made them dare not talk nonsense anymore."
"It's good if you win. If you don't, your uncle will go and beat you up again." Wang Xiaohu touched Wang Jiujin's head.
Seeing this, Wang Sankuai quickly leaned his little head over.
Wang Xiaohu had no choice but to touch it as well. This little guy is the most innocent in the family, so he needs to protect him more in the future.
