3. A status symbol
Ning Yuqi looks honest, a shoehorn face is as vulgar as his name, the bright gray shirt collar is obediently turned over the small round neck of the hemp gray sweater, and the nondescript thing is that he actually tied a tie under the shirt collar that is also gray and not rubbish.
Lin Yifan couldn't help but smile. Lao Ning also laughed stupidly. The two of them can meet at the two ends of the factory in three days, not a strange face, Lao Ning is not too noisy, only said: "Follow me into the workshop and get familiar with everyone!" ”
After entering the workshop, Lao Ning opened his voice: "Hey, hey, I said that everyone will stop the work in hand for the time being, ah, I will introduce this to you, this is a new college student from our factory," Lao Ning pulled Lin Yifan and pushed it to the front, "It's the introduction of talents, everyone can help a little more, Xiaolin just came, don't hide it, what does he don't understand, teach more, don't make trouble, ah!" Maybe you'll eat under Xiao Lin in the future, be careful to wear small shoes, hehe! Lao Ning was humorous at the end.
Lin Yifan glanced at the two black fingerprints left by Lao Ning on his sleeve, couldn't help frowning, and then said some polite words such as please give me more advice in the future, a little nervous, speaking in front of so many people for the first time, gurgling.
"Yo, it looks like a boy!" I don't know what the old lady shouted.
After a burst of laughter, the gossip atmosphere became lively, and the topic also shifted from Lin Yifan to the leader, from the leader's working style to the newly promulgated iron-blooded regulations, from the hanging children of the young people in the workshop to the so-called romance of a certain upper-level person, and then from the changes in employee welfare this year to the seniority of the administrative cadres. After going around 25,000 miles, the topic finally fell on Lin Yifan again.
"The young man is good, hey, Lao Ning, don't you have a girl?"
"Nonsense, it's small, it seems like it's only the first year of junior high school, isn't it Lao Ning? I look at the yellow ...... in the office The girl named Huang is good, quite a class! Go back and who of you will pull the strings! ”
"It's called Huang Ying! It's a little bigger! ”
"Today's young people, how can you pull any thread, maybe the little mouth has kissed several times, halu haha......"
Another burst of laughter.
"What are you doing, what are you doing, go on a blind date, hurry up and get to work! During work hours, be careful to show Zhang Julan, turn around and deduct the money, hurry up and disperse, scatter! Ning Yuqi couldn't help but speak, subconsciously glanced at the door, and waved his hand, "Scattered, scattered!" ”
The group reluctantly muttered and dispersed.
Lin Yifan actually likes this kind of unobstructed liveliness, he especially admires the infinite wisdom and creativity of the workers, they can always move from one topic to another without a trace, obviously it is something that is not related, but it can naturally extend gently from one point to another, from one mountain to another, effortlessly and without the slightest abruptness, the transfer is so perfect, it is so ingenious, Lin Yifan was almost moved to tears. But what moved him even more was the infinite universe in the minds of the workers, who could talk from work to life, from life to study, from law to morality, from astronomy to geography, from history to reality, from cities to the countryside, from men to women, from society to families, from domestic to foreign, from coastal to inland, from generals to soldiers, from bosses to men, everything in the world was in their chests, their views were so novel, their opinions were so original, their praise was so sincere, and their criticism was so spicy, laughter is sometimes cheerful, laughter is sometimes ambiguous, scolding is sometimes hidden, scolding is sometimes hateful......
This is a feeling that cannot be found in the ivory tower, Lin Yifan is very intoxicated, and he also enjoys the laughter and anger of the workers. But the only thing he didn't understand was that the workers were so taboo about Zhang Julan, and he really didn't see it. vaguely, Zhang Julan still has a somewhat good impression in Lin Yifan's mind. In the two months that he was a colleague together, Lin Yifan could vaguely feel that Zhang Julan and him were very close, but Lin Yifan couldn't figure out this feeling, and always felt that something was missing, far away, very good, but without the kind of reality that he touched with his hands, Lin Yifan was a little confused.
I went back to Lao Ning's small attic, which can be regarded as an office. He was working on installing a new desk. Lin Yifan walked around, but he didn't find a suitable place to sit for a while, it was messy, it was really messy. Lin Yifan wanted to quit, but Lao Ning stopped him when he saw it: "Xiaolin, Xiaolin, come and take a look, are you satisfied with this table?" ”
"For me?"
"Yes, Zhang Julan sent it yesterday afternoon, saying that Xiao Mu personally greeted her."
"Little me?"
"Oh, it's Mr. Gao, his nickname, that's what people in our factory call him."
"Really? Director Ning, tell me, you have known each other for a long time? ”
"It's nothing, Xiaomu is the nephew of the former secretary of the general factory, his parents work in Shanghai, he grew up in the factory with his uncle since he was a child, so the older workers know him and call him Xiaomu!"
"Little me?" Lin Yifan pondered, thinking that it probably meant that Tianmu was lofty!
"Come, take a hand, I think the table will be placed opposite me! How? ”
"Okay, but I think it's better for Director Ning to sit at the new table! I'll just use your old one, that's what it means, just give me a drawer! ”
"Don't, I can't sit still, the people in the office have to chew their tongues again, and I'm used to using the old one, this table is still brought by me from the main factory, but my dowry girl!"
Lin Yifan understands that the desk is sometimes a symbol of status, having a desk in the factory indicates that you are an administrative officer, to that level, not an ordinary worker, you will have the opportunity to be promoted to a higher level, if you can have one in the office building, the identity is even more different, the posture of walking can also be different, you can straighten your waist, as long as you don't flash your waist, you can go down to the workshop to inspect, your eyes don't need to look at the ground, just look up, as long as you can't hold dust in your eyes. I used to hear Zhang Julan tell the story of Chen Gong, and I didn't know that he went to the Workers' University that year, mixed in a textile factory for a few years, and then transferred to the main factory, and finally got the title of engineer a few years later, but at that time, the desk was really nervous, tired and tired of the old Chen Tou crying for a few months, only to hang himself, and finally shared a desk with another person who wanted to hang himself, but there was no place to put it, and there was no way to put it, and the responsible comrades of the factory department had to make a whole room under the slope of the coal yard of the thermoelectric workshop. Every time a coal truck passes by, an inch of pulverized coal is sprinkled on the table. After listening to Zhang Julan's wonderful performance, Lin Yifan almost died of laughter.
So Lin Yifan understood Lao Ning's feelings for his old desk, and thought to himself, it's good, I have two, the one in the office Zhang Julan said when she was drinking last night that she wanted to keep it for him, and she also said something like waiting for him to go back, and her eyes were like a resentful woman, who wanted to be another cheating man.
Thinking about this, Lin Yifan suddenly suspected that his thoughts were a little wrong, it really shouldn't be, it was just a table.
"Xiaolin, if you have time, you can often go down and go around, rules and regulations, business procedures, etc., see if there is anything that needs to be improved, and we will sum it up when we go back." Lao Ning interrupted Lin Yifan's thoughts, holding a greasy rag and preparing to wipe the table for him. Lin Yifan hurriedly snatched it over, and said no.
After sitting down, Lin Yifan wanted to open his mouth several times, but Lao Ning saw this and said, "Something?" ”
"It's okay, Director Ning, I don't have anything to do for the time being, I'll tidy up this little room, right?"
Lao Ning glanced at it, "Ah, it's a bit messy!" Recently, I've been too busy, and there are shipments every day, so I really don't have time, I don't have time! Lao Ning repeated deliberately.
"It's okay, I'll get it!" Lin Yifan listened to Lao Ning's explanation, and secretly said that it was a little messy, this is a place for people to stay, "Also, a worker said just now that the light on the workbench is too dim, and the operation space of the machine is too small, which is not conducive to production." I took a look at it, Director Ning, can you consider turning that testing line in a different direction? Lin Yifan continued.
"Really? I'll go down and take a look, ouch, it's quite troublesome to turn the direction of the machine, and you have to call a hydraulic car from the outside, and people can't lift it. Lao Ning seemed a little displeased, and slammed his mouth and said, "And all the circuits have to be rearranged, it's really a bit troublesome!" ”
Lin Yifan secretly regretted that he really shouldn't have mentioned this to change that on the first day, as if people had just lived before. Lin Yifan remembered that Xiao Cai said last night that Lao Ning was a good person, and he felt a little relieved, and said: "Oh, I also heard the workers talk about it, so it's really a bit troublesome, Director Ning, don't take it seriously!" ”
"Xiaolin, you mentioned it very well, I think about it, this is a matter of money, I don't dare to call the shots, I will find a suitable opportunity to mention it to Lu Shang when I go back to the factory meeting."
Lin Yifan said in his heart that Lao Ning is also a timid person, which is not a bad thing, and he will not mention it until the meeting, and he actually has to find a so-called suitable opportunity.
