In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 3 As expected of the Chairman of the Revolutionary Committee, his level is high
Chen Qiang felt uneasy when Xie Wei looked at him.

Feeling guilty, he took out a pack of Peony from his trouser pocket for 8 cents, handed one to Xie Wei first, and then held one in his mouth.

"Hey, Uncle Chen, you've made a fortune. You usually can't afford to buy Harvest at 1 cents, but now you can buy Peony at 4 cents."

Chen Qiang's mouth twitched, and he forced a smile, "Someone gave it to me as a gift."

He immediately took out a match and with a "hiss" sound, he lit the match for Xie Wei first, then for himself. He waved his hands a few times to extinguish the match in his hand, and threw the matchsticks on the ground.

Exhaling a puff of smoke, Chen Qiang suppressed his guilty conscience that was seen through by Xie Wei.

With an expression that said, "Xie Wei, uncle knows you have high aspirations. Huang Ying is really good. She is two years younger than you, but she already earns a 6th-level administrative salary for a 24th-level clerk, which is 43 yuan a month, plus a bonus of to yuan. If you two get married, and there are three people in your family earning salaries, won't you be able to live a well-off life?"

"Uncle, Huang Ying is so nice. Your eldest son is 26 years old and still unmarried. Why don't you let your son marry Huang Ying? It can also improve your relationship with Director Xu."

Xie Wei exhaled a puff of smoke, smiled, said this, and turned away.

After taking two steps, Xie Wei stopped.

Turning to Chen Qiang, he smiled and said, "Uncle, I'm serious. Your son is only a first-class worker now, making 36 yuan a month. With Huang Ying's salary, your family may not be well-off, but at least you can have enough food for the whole family."

"Xie Wei, don't be ungrateful. What's the big deal about getting into college? It's all in vain if you can't go in. Don't lose your job by then."

Chen Qiang threatened Xie Wei in a rage.

Ignoring the furious Chen Qiang, Xie Wei went to the office by himself.

In the office, people from the technical department were still playing cards, and those who were knitting were still knitting, just like a vegetable market.

When Xie Wei came back, no one greeted him.

In the past ten years or so, Xu Zhihui has replaced all the people in the entire technical department with those who gave him gifts, and at least half of them can't even draw mechanical drawings.

Before Xie Wei took over, he received the lowest salary of level 18 during his three-year internship, which was 27.5 yuan per month, the lowest in the entire technical department. After three years, he received the salary of assistant technician level 15, which was 42.5 yuan.

He has always been the lowest in the technical department, and everything has been peaceful in the past few years.

This year, Xie Wei saved the Hongguang Factory and made the factory prosperous. Xu Zhihui had no choice but to promote Xie Wei to a level 13 technician with a monthly salary of 55 yuan.

In the entire technical department, most people have higher salaries than Xie Wei, but they have a bad relationship with Xie Wei - no one works but still gets paid, and they have to show off their ability by developing new products.

Unable to bear the noise in the office, Xie Wei had no mind to work, so he simply ran outside the technical department to figure out how to solve the problem of relationship transfer and letter of introduction.

The problem is difficult.

Xu Zhihui was originally an ordinary worker in the factory. He rebelled and overthrew the old factory director Liang Hong, became the director of the factory’s revolutionary committee, and controlled Hongguang Factory for more than ten years.

Over the past decade, management positions in the factory have been filled with Xu Zhihui's cronies.

When recruiting workers, the price is almost always clearly marked, and if you don’t bring gifts of corresponding value, you won’t be able to get a job.

Even in a core department like the technical department, Xu Zhihui transferred the original technicians to the workshop and replaced them with people who gave him gifts.

Even though Xie Wei saved the salaries and bonuses of everyone in the technical department, they still isolated Xie Wei.

It was almost time to get off work, and Xie Wei still hadn't come up with a good solution.

It's impossible to let Huang Ying give up.

When I went to university, I kept my household registration and various relationships in the factory, which made the other party control me, and I couldn't accept it.

Not going to college is even more impossible!

"Xie Wei, Director Xu is looking for you, hurry up!"

A short and fat lady from the General Affairs Department stood at the entrance of the Technical Department, shouted something inside, and without waiting for a response, she turned and left.

Xie Wei didn't go to find Xu Zhihui, but Xu Zhihui came to him first.

When Xie Wei knocked on the door of the Revolutionary Committee Director's office, Director Xu was sitting at the coffee table reading a newspaper.

"Xiao Xie is here? Come and sit down."

Xu Zhihui put down the newspaper in his hand, greeted Xie Wei with a kind smile on his face.

Then he picked up the ceramic teacup on the tea tray, took out a kraft paper box from the drawer under the coffee table, poured some tea leaves into the bottom of the cup, and picked up the rattan thermos next to it to pour water. After handing the freshly brewed tea to Xie Wei, Xu Zhihui smiled and said, "Your college admission letter has arrived? Congratulations!"

"Thank you, director."

Xie Wei took the tea and said softly.

Xu Zhihui made tea himself, probably because he was going to talk about marrying Huang Ying again.

Seeing Xie Wei's lukewarm answer, Xu Zhihui frowned, drank his tea silently, and said nothing.

"Director, the school requires the transfer of household registration, grain and oil relations, and organizational relations..."

Xie Wei knew that the other party was just posturing and waiting for him to speak.

"Change your household registration and transfer your relationship?"

Xu Zhihui narrowed his eyes and looked at Xie Wei, looking embarrassed. "According to relevant regulations, you have worked for five years and the factory will pay you during your school years. If you transfer your household registration and organizational relationship, it will be difficult for the factory to pay you."

"Director Xu, how about I apply for resignation? This way the factory won't be in trouble."

Seeing Xu Zhihui's embarrassment, Xie Wei tried to test the other party by retreating.

really.

Xu Zhihui was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses.

Xu Zhihui, who has controlled the entire factory for more than ten years and has never fallen despite accepting gifts lavishly, naturally cannot be controlled by Xie Wei with just one sentence.

"Xie Wei, you are a hero of the factory. If you resign, how will others view the factory? Who will work hard to develop new products in the future? The first-class living allowance for college students is 12 yuan, plus 7 yuan for non-staple food, the highest is 5 yuan. Without the salary from the factory, you can't make ends meet with your father's 19 yuan monthly pension. The factory can't just watch like this, right?"

His face was filled with a smile, but his words were full of cold threats.

The living expenses of 21 yuan are simply not enough to support a family of three.

The food ration for Xie Wei's parents and sister was not enough to eat, and his sister was 14 years old, which was the age when she could eat the most.

The monthly quota of food coupons is not enough, and we have to buy food coupons at a high price.

Only when Xie Wei got a monthly salary of 55 yuan did the family live a little better.

"I have discussed this with other leaders in the factory before, and they think you can just transfer your grain and oil relationship to the school, while keeping your household registration and organizational relationship in the factory."

Xie Wei's household registration and organizational relationship are in the factory, so Xu Zhihui can do whatever he wants to him in the future.

"Director, Harbin Institute of Technology is a military university, and all majors are related to military industry. The household registration and organizational relationship must be transferred there."

Knowing that Xu Zhihui didn't know much about HIT, Xie Wei simply fooled him.

"If we have to turn, there are ways. But..."

Seeing Xie Wei's expression change, Xu Zhihui understood.

After saying that there was a way, he paused, picked up the teacup, blew away the foam floating on it, secretly observed Xie Wei's reaction, and waited for him to speak.

I thought to myself: You little bastard, I’ve been the director of the Revolutionary Committee for more than ten years, and I can’t control a youngster like you?

"any solution?"

Xie Wei looked anxious, "The time to report is not far away. It takes several days to take the train from Chengdu to the Northeast."

"Find a female comrade from the factory to marry. Even if your organizational relationship and household registration are moved away, as long as your family members work in the factory and collect the salary on your behalf and then send it to you, there will be no problem."

As expected of an experienced director of the Revolutionary Committee, he stated the purpose, seemingly asking Xie Wei to choose, but actually did not give him any choice.

All the unmarried young female workers of working age in the factory came in through Xu Zhihui.

Who dares to snatch a man from Director Xu’s niece?
If you want to marry a girl from our factory, Huang Ying is the only choice.

Otherwise, they would not transfer their household registration and connections to go to college, and then be controlled by the factory.

Or, don't go to college.
