Chapter 3 Section Chief Wu and Director Wang

After finishing the formalities at the Housing Management Section, Wang Jianfeng returned to the Personnel Section, and then Yang Xuemei took Wang Jianfeng to the Purchasing Section.

"How is Jianfeng? Where is your house?" Yang Xuemei asked Wang Jianfeng

"It's at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, the west wing of the front yard. It should be pretty good," said Wang Jianfeng
In this way, Yang Xuemei walked in front and Wang Jianfeng walked behind, and the two walked into the office of Wu Weiqiu, the head of the purchasing department.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

"Chief Yang, what's the matter?" Soon the door with the sign of the Chief of Purchasing Department was opened, and he looked at Yang Xuemei and asked.

"Chief Wu, this is Wang Jianfeng, a new clerk assigned to your purchasing department. He graduated from a technical secondary school. Please arrange his specific work," Yang Xuemei replied.

"Jianfeng, this is Chief Wu Weiqiu of the Purchasing Department. He is in charge of the Purchasing Department and he will arrange your next work." He turned around and said to Wang Jianfeng.

"Hello, Chief Wu, I am Wang Jianfeng, I will trouble you with my work in the future." Wang Jianfeng greeted

"Okay, I'll leave the people to you. You arrange the specific work," Yang Xuemei said to Section Chief Wu, and then left the office.

"Jianfeng, we have three sections in the purchasing department. The department responsible for canteen purchasing needs to increase staff, so you should go there. However, most of the people there are out purchasing now. The work here depends on your ability and connections. The specific work is assigned according to the task. The work is relatively free, and as long as you can complete the task, there will be basically no problem. You are now mainly responsible for purchasing materials outside the plan. As for the purchasing process, I will arrange someone to teach you after you officially start working," Section Chief Wu said to Wang Jianfeng.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Chief Wu," Wang Jianfeng replied.

"You haven't settled down yet, so I'll give you three days to settle down. After three days, you can report here and officially start work. Then come directly to my office to find me," said Section Chief Wu.

"There is nothing else to do now. You can go to the street office to handle the settlement procedures and your food allowance, and then confirm the housing situation. After you start working, I will arrange someone to take you to familiarize yourself with the situation." Then Section Chief Wu sent him out.
At this time, food and meat need to be distributed by the state, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to purchase various materials on the market. The share of meat allocated by the state to the steel mill is gradually decreasing, and the quality of the food provided by the canteen will become worse and worse. For workers in the steel mill who do heavy physical labor, if they cannot eat enough, it will definitely cause trouble, which is a problem for the entire steel mill.

The era of bills is about to come, and the pressure to purchase unplanned materials will become greater and greater. The importance of the purchasing department will become higher and higher. Only by completing the tasks can it be easier to get promoted. On the contrary, if you fail to complete them, you can only eat and wait for death. Next, you need to plan how to establish a stable channel.

In fact, it has to be said that Wang Jianfeng's original body had actually worked in purchasing. This was also one of the main reasons why he chose the purchasing department instead of the technical department to do technology. Moreover, with the identity of purchasing, his side job was well concealed.

Wang Jianfeng's hometown is in the countryside, so it is convenient to go to the countryside to collect things because it is close to the mountains. The whole village is relatively poor, and there are hunters in the village, who can also help the factory purchase more meat. Wang Jianfeng also has his own plans and hopes to do what he can for his hometown.

Let’s set a small goal first, so that no one will starve to death in the village during famine years.

After Wang Jianfeng left the steel rolling mill, he asked for directions and walked into the street office. He then went directly to the office with a sign of the street office director and started knocking on the door.

"dong dong dong"

Wang Jianfeng gently knocked on the door of the street office director's office.

"Please come in."

Then a female voice was heard from the office, and then the office door was opened from the inside, and a woman in her thirties walked out of the office. This person should be Director Wang from the Street Office.

"Hello, what are you doing here?" Director Wang asked Wang Jianfeng directly about his purpose.

Wang Jianfeng said to Director Wang: "Hello, I am Wang Jianfeng. I am currently the purchasing officer of our steel rolling mill. I just reported for work today. The factory has allocated me a house in the courtyard house at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. Director Wang, please help me solve the problem of my household registration and my grain certificate."

Wang Jianfeng said this as he handed his letter of introduction and supporting documents to Director Wang.

Director Wang took the letter of introduction and the supporting documents, and after carefully checking them, he said to Wang Jianfeng, "There is no problem with the information. Your house is bought outright, so you need to apply for a real estate certificate. The day after tomorrow, you can come to me to get your food certificate and real estate certificate. Now I will take you to where you live."

Director Wang led Wang Jianfeng all the way to the Red Star Courtyard. On the way, Director Wang introduced the general situation of the Red Star Courtyard to Wang Jianfeng.

The plot of the TV series has not yet begun, and there are still about ten years before it starts. He Daqing in the Central Courtyard has abandoned his children and went to Baoding with the widow, Jia Dongxu's father has passed away, Qin Huairu has married into the Jia family, the thief's stick plot has come into being, and Xu Damao's parents in the backyard have not moved out of the courtyard. There is basically no change in other situations. Perhaps the only change is that there are not so many residents now.

Under the guidance of Director Wang, Wang Jianfeng came to the front yard of the courtyard. This was an independent small courtyard with an area of ​​nearly 200 square meters. Director Wang took out the key, opened the door and walked in first.

Wang Jianfeng followed closely and walked into the house. There were three houses of about 90 square meters, which were slightly run-down. There was also a collapsed house next to it with simple furniture displayed inside. The house was empty inside. It was destroyed by spies in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. No one had lived there since then. Those who wanted it did not meet the requirements, and those who met the requirements did not want it, that is, Wang Jianfeng. I guess no one else wanted this place. There was a lot of dust in the house, and there was some moldy smell.

"Comrade Wang Jianfeng, look, these are the three rooms and this small courtyard. Is this the house you were assigned?"

"It's OK!" "Thank you, Director Wang. I think it's OK."

Wang Jianfeng quickly replied.

"But it may need to be renovated, otherwise it will be uninhabitable. Director Wang, do I need to go through the formalities for this renovation? I also want to rebuild the collapsed room. Is that ok?" Wang Jianfeng continued.
"Your house is a one-time purchase and is private property. You only need to register it with the street office. As for renovation, the street office has a cooperative decoration team. You can come to the street office later and I will arrange for them to connect with you," Director Wang continued.

Just as Wang Jianfeng was talking to Director Wang, a gentleman with glasses walked in from the door, asking a question.

"Director Wang, is this the new resident?"

Director Wang turned around and saw the person coming. He smiled and replied, "This is Wang Jianfeng, a new resident of your hospital. He is now working in the steel mill."

Director Wang greeted the visitor enthusiastically and introduced him to Wang Jianfeng: "Comrade Jianfeng, this is your neighbor across the street, Mr. Yan Bugui, a Chinese teacher at Hongxing Primary School and the third uncle in charge of this courtyard."

"Hello, Third Uncle."

Wang Jianfeng greeted Yan Bugui, but knowing Yan Bugui's character and how he was always calculating against others, Wang Jianfeng did not show too much enthusiasm.

But for the calculating Third Uncle, this is not a problem.

"We are all from the same courtyard, so we should help each other. I'll ask your third aunt to help you clean up the house, and you can just treat me and your third aunt to a meal."

Seeing that Wang Jianfeng wanted to pay attention to him, Yan Bugui asked for help and hurriedly came up to Wang Jianfeng and said.

Upon hearing what Yan Bugui said, Director Wang rolled his eyes and said, "Teacher Yan, you are really good at calculating! Comrade Jianfeng, you can sort it out yourself. I have to go back too. If you have any questions, you can ask the three uncles in the courtyard. If you can't solve any problems, come to the street office to find me. Don't forget to come to get the grain certificate the day after tomorrow."

"Old Yan, I'll leave the man to you. You are responsible for introducing him to the specific situation in the yard."

"Thank you, Director Wang. Take care." Hearing that Director Wang was leaving, Wang Jianfeng replied hurriedly.

After Director Wang left, the third uncle Yan Bugui came over and started chatting with Wang Jianfeng.

"Comrade Jianfeng, what position do you hold in the steel mill?"

"how old are you?"

“How much is your monthly salary?”

"Where are you from? How many people are there in your family?"

"Do you have a partner?"

Wang Jianfeng was shocked when he heard this. He was like, "Wow! You're investigating more thoroughly than the police." This is the first time we've met, and you're acting like this. How thick must your face be? Even a needle can't penetrate it.

"Uncle, I just arrived and I need to tidy up the house. How about you go ahead and do your work while I tidy up the house?" Wang Jianfeng said to him after answering a few questions casually. Mainly because he was embarrassed to drive Yan Bugui away directly. After all, they would live in the same courtyard and next door to each other in the future. They would see each other every day, and he couldn't make their relationship awkward, so he could only say it more tactfully.

This made the third uncle Yan Bugui look embarrassed, but he quickly calmed down and said, "Okay, then you go ahead and do your work. If you need anything, you can come to me. I live across from you. And I will call a meeting in the courtyard to introduce you to the neighbors in the courtyard in the evening."

Hearing what Third Uncle Yan Bugui said, Wang Jianfeng kept complaining in his heart, "Third Uncle is so calculating, and I still ask you for help? I'm afraid you're going to scrape off a layer of oil for me."

In the TV series Love in the Courtyard, He Yuzhu gave Yan Bugui a lot of local specialties in order to get him to help meet Ran Qiuye, but Yan Bugui accepted the gifts but did not do anything, and later he even spoke ill of He Yuzhu. This is a typical case of taking money but not doing anything.

As expected, you are the person who takes "If you can't afford to eat, you won't be poor if you can't wear clothes. If you can't plan well, you will be poor." as his life motto. Wang Jianfeng can only say one thing: you are worthy of it.

"Okay, thank you for your help. I will be there on time in the evening," Wang Jianfeng replied.

Then Yan Bugui left on his own, but he had already made up his mind. He already knew Wang Jianfeng's general situation: purchasing department, cadre, graduated from technical secondary school, 19 years old and almost 20, unmarried, three rooms and a yard (luckily he didn't know that Wang Jianfeng had already bought it directly), etc.
