"Alas, regret it." This is Wang Weilong's sigh.
At the time of saying this, three people were standing under the tree outside the reference room. One of them was holding a cigarette and puffing smoke. The reference room is one of the few places where smoking is prohibited in the whole Metallurgical Bureau. When the smokers can't hold back, they will go outside to smoke and chat. Feng Xiaochen's addiction to smoking is not particularly strong, but since he met Wang Weilong and Cheng Xiaofeng, he has often been dragged out to smoke together, and gradually has some habits.
"Brother, I don't approve of young people working in organs too early." After Wang Weilong sighed, he began to tell Feng Xiaochen about his life experience. "There are too many rules in the organs. You should pay attention to seniority in everything you do, and balance relationships in all aspects. Don't mention young people with no background like you. Even I and Cheng have a little power in the following days, right? At the very least, when I was in my original factory, I said that even the factory director would have to consider it. It's a fart here! "
"We are just a fart." Cheng Xiaofeng laughed. "A deputy department level in an enterprise is not a fart here. What else can it be? Let alone how many deputy department level and bureau level in our bureau are those who work from below. Who is not a provincial cadre, or is the top or second leader in the enterprise? Don't we have to work with our tails pinched?"
"It doesn't matter if I have my tail between my legs. Anyway, my tail is short." Wang Weilong said, "But we have to be more scientific in doing things. A little technical reform funds, which is not much, should be distributed to each unit like pepper noodles. No one is happy about it, and no one can do anything in the end. How many times have I proposed to our director that the bureau should use the funds in a centralized way and use good steel on the blade? "
"You are a big mouth, and you will suffer from it sooner or later." Cheng Xiaofeng reminded Wang Weilong. There are forty or fifty seconded cadres in the Metallurgy Bureau, and their relationship is also close. Wang Weilong and Cheng Xiaofeng often work in the reference room as interpreters. They don't know whether they sympathize with each other or share the same fate. In short, their relationship is closer than that of other people, so they are more casual when talking to each other.
After saying Wang Weilong, Cheng Xiaofeng asked Feng Xiaochen, "Xiao Feng, I see you have been checking the information of the open-pit mine these days. Why is Director Luo interested in this?"
This topic is a little sensitive. In fact, Tian Wenjian told Feng Xiaochen that he was looking for information about all mining machinery, but Feng Xiaochen himself guessed Luo Xiangfei's intention, so he focused on the open pit mine. If he revealed that Luo Xiangfei was interested in open pit mines, and later confirmed that it was true, then at least he would leave an impression of laxity. In fact, it was not Feng Xiaochen who said it, but Cheng Xiaofeng who observed it.
Thinking of this, Feng Xiaochen said, "I haven't heard about this. Director Luo just asked me to check the information about mining machinery. It may also be because he thinks I have nothing to do all day long, and he found something for me. When I turned over the information, I happened to see that the information about the open-pit mine was more interesting, so I focused on this aspect these days. After reading these materials, I have to add other contents, or the leaders will say I am lazy. "
"In fact, the open-pit mine should have been a key point!" Wang Weilong said, "The overseas open-pit mining has all realized mechanization. One worker and one car do more work than 100 of our workers. They all said that we should do four modernizations. I think the open-pit mine should be the most modernized."
"What aspect do you think should not be modernized?" retorted Cheng Xiaofeng. If you have time, you might as well translate some materials to realize the modernization of your home in advance. "
Cheng Xiaofeng's words seemed to pour cold water on Wang Weilong, which made him wither. He took a few puffs of smoke, and then said sadly, "Alas, you're right, Lao Cheng. I'm not worried about eating carrots. What's the matter?"
Then they talked about various gossip in the courtyard, commented on which leader had a strong style and which cadre had real skills, and listed such jokes as "four old horses, four new horses, four black horses, four careless", which greatly opened Feng Xiaochen's eyes. According to these two people, Luo Xiangfei is the most practical leader in the compound. Technical cadres are born, knowledgeable, rigorous in work style, and also love their subordinates. He is a rare good leader. Feng Xiaochen knew that he was labeled Luo Xiangfei. People who knew something about him thought he was Luo Xiangfei's trusted follower, so Wang and Cheng praised Luo Xiangfei in front of him. He was only half convinced, so it was inconvenient to investigate the authenticity of these words.
Apart from the topic of Luo Xiangfei, Wang Weilong and Cheng Xiaofeng took good care of Feng Xiaochen. Both of them have become family members. They have been transferred to the capital, and their wives and children have stayed in their hometown. They will not be too aggrieved by themselves. Every once in a while, they will set up a kerosene stove to stew some meat. At this time, they would call Feng Xiaochen and give him a chance to have a tooth sacrifice.
Feng Xiaochen's physical age is very young, but his psychological age is not so young. Naturally, he will not be so ignorant and just eat for nothing. When he left Nanjiang, He Xuezhen gave him 200 yuan to eat better outside. So he would often go to the black market to buy some meat. The excuse was to borrow Wang Weilong's stove, but in fact, he would join them to improve food.
Zeng Yongliang, who lives with Feng Xiaochen in his dormitory, sometimes joins their parties. However, Zeng Yongliang is an administrative cadre. He doesn't get along with technical cadres such as Wang Weilong and Cheng Xiaofeng. When he joins, everyone can only talk about gossip, rarely involving his major.
As the days passed, Feng Xiaochen gradually got to know other people in the courtyard. Even if he could not let everyone call his name, at least when he met in the corridor, people would not mistake him for an outsider who came from where to do business. The work of the Metallurgical Bureau is very complicated, and everyone is busy. In contrast, Feng Xiaochen is the most carefree one. He has no specific post, so he has no daily affairs to deal with. Tian Wenjian hasn't come to see him since he assigned him a task half a month ago, let alone ask about the progress. It seems that Feng Xiaochen has made his own way. Fortunately, Feng Xiaochen was a person used to work in his previous life. No one stared at him. He was also diligent in checking information. The notebook is full of two, and he has a clear outline of the development of mining machinery.
"Sister Zhang, don't we have two magazines, Mining_Magazine and Mining_Engineering?"
That day, Feng Xiaochen asked Zhang Haiju in a regretful tone after turning over the catalogue card cabinet in the reference room.
"Is it not on the list?" Zhang Haiju asked.
"No, I checked several times." Feng Xiaochen said.
"There will be no more," said Zhang Haiju. Her educational level is not high, and her English level is limited to recognizing the English book names or journal names. After she puts the received journals into the library, she will not read them again, and she cannot tell what materials are in the library. Since Feng Xiaochen had checked the card cabinet but could not find it, it was natural that there was no, and she had no way to deal with it.
"It's really a pity." Feng Xiaochen sighed. "I read in other literature that there was a review on the development of foreign mining machinery in the second issue of" Mining Magazine "last year, which was written by a knowledgeable person in the United States. The content is very comprehensive, and there are some unique insights. If you can find it, it will be very enlightening for leaders."
"If so, you can write a report and ask the leader to approve it. When the reference room of the Economic Commission unifies the purchase of materials, let them buy one back," said Zhang Haiju.
Feng Xiaochen asked, "How long does this cycle take?"
Zhang Haiju shook her head and said, "It's hard to say. If they happen, they will just go shopping. Maybe they will buy it in two or three months. If they don't happen, maybe it will be a year or two. It has been reported for more than two years that Qin Gong from the Machinery Department wanted to buy a book, but he hasn't bought it yet. Qin Gong is about to retire."
"Er... Let's forget it." Feng Xiaochen retreated. Now he really misses the era of the Internet. As long as he orders several online resources, all kinds of materials can be found at any time in the office. How can he find a needle in a haystack for a book like this. The most important thing is that if all the needles are in the sea, it's OK. The needles he wants to get can't be found in the sea at his own door, which is the most depressing.
"Little comrade, do you want to check" Mining_Magazine "?"
A researcher with presbyopic glasses and gray hair came to return the book, just heard the conversation between Feng Xiaochen and Zhang Haiju, and asked casually. Feng Xiaochen met him twice in the reference room and knew that he was a professor in a university. His surname was Li. He came to the reference room of the Metallurgical Bureau to check the data.
"Professor Li, why, does your school have this magazine?" Feng Xiaochen was delighted. Since the other party can come to them to check the information, can he also go to the other party to check the information? There are not enough periodicals in the reference room of the Metallurgical Bureau. Maybe there is this periodical in other places, so it's OK to borrow it.
Professor Li shook his head and said with a smile: "Our school library is not as rich as you, and the materials are not as complete as you. Or I can take a bus for an hour to come to you to check the materials? You said" Mining_Magazine ". I remember there are some in the reference room of the Coal Research Institute, and you can ask them."
