The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 147 Want to be an official

"No, why?" Xu Damao asked puzzledly, "Why can't I be an official like our section chief?"

"Being an official and being a worker are two different systems." Liu Hua explained: "When you are a worker, you start as an apprentice, and then slowly upgrade. Reaching the eighth-level worker is basically the pinnacle. Of course, for professional skills like Sha Zhu, they are in a different system and have different levels."

"So you're an official?"

"The administrative hierarchy is divided into 30 levels. High school or technical secondary school graduates are generally at level 27, which is the so-called ninth-level clerk. This is basically the starting point for becoming an official." Liu Hua explained: "Below that, there are level 28, 29, and 30, which are basically the lowest level. They are not even as good as Bi Ma Wen, who is at least a ninth-rank official."

"Then how can a projectionist like me become an official?"

"The easiest way is, of course, to do it as a worker. If you can do it as a worker and do a good job, you can find someone who can transfer you to an administrative position. Otherwise, you can be elected collectively or promoted by the superiors. But this superior is not your section chief, so he has no say."

"Does Li Huaide count?"

Liu Hua nodded: "He counts, but he is not so easy to impress. Even if he promotes you, it will only be an administrative position at most. You will not be allowed to be an official. If you want to be an official, you have to continue to work hard."

Xu Damao is living a comfortable life now. He has not suffered any oppression in the hospital. Even Sha Zhu doesn't beat him up much anymore. So he is not so eager to make progress. He said cheerfully: "Take it step by step. I am still young. Set a goal to become an official by the age of 30."

"You can do it." Sha Zhu said with his hands in his pockets, "You are still a government official at the age of 30. Dream on."

Xu Damao said sarcastically: "So what? I still have a goal. Do you have one? Do you dare to be an official? If an official talks to you, you will be trembling with fear."

Sha Zhu was not angry. He smiled and said, "Since I was in charge of the cooking at Huazi's wedding, many leaders have known my name. This Sunday, a deputy director asked me to be the chef. Next Sunday, a factory director also asked me to be the chef. In the future, I will meet many more leaders than you. I just don't want to be an official, otherwise I would have been there earlier than you."

Sha Zhu said it lightly, but Xu Damao's eyes turned red with envy.

Liu Hua smiled and asked, "Shazhu, your wife is about to give birth, right?"

Sha Zhu nodded: "The due date is around the sixth of next month. Your sister is a great doctor. My wife and I go to the hospital for a checkup every month. She tells us what to eat and what nutrients we are lacking. Your sister tells us how to adjust. When my son is born, I must treat your sister to a meal to thank her."

"Then tell him yourself." Liu Hua said with a smile, "My sister has a bright future. I won't give others the opportunity to corrupt her."

"What are you talking about? How can you call it corruption? I am grateful."

"If you really want to thank me, you might as well give me a banner."

Liu Hua teased Li Huaide that he would take a month's rest, but in fact he started drawing, doing calculations and other work the next day. He could be emotional, but he could not stop working.

Li Huaide spent several days reading Liu Hua's masterpiece. Although he didn't understand the specific technology, he could still understand the numbers. It was clear at a glance how much the production had been increased and how many defects had been reduced. Li Huaide's thighs were almost blue from slapping his thighs these days. Whenever he saw something exciting, he would slap his thighs directly. It didn't matter how painful it was. Liu Hua was handing him a ladder, a ladder that could reach the sky.

Although Liu Hua had just started working, Li Huaide had already arranged for the logistics staff to start purchasing these raw materials. A lot of raw materials were listed in the plan.

Li Huaide took a rough look and realized that it would take some time to get all the materials together, so he could only start purchasing slowly. Usually, such raw materials had to wait for allocation from superiors. Li Huaide was not ready to report the matter immediately, so he thought about purchasing those outside the plan first, even if it cost a little more money.

The steel rolling mill has been very profitable in the past two years, and the unplanned materials have also exchanged for a lot of money. Li Huaide has already planned to build two more residential buildings, and from the beginning of this year, he has used steel components to exchange cement from the cement factory.

He also wanted to give Liu Hua an apartment after the building was completed, but Liu Hua refused. This tube-shaped building, which was inspired by the big Russian bear, was actually very cramped. It was indeed warm in the winter, but it was very uncomfortable in the summer.

Liu Hua already had his own house and didn't want to go through that hardship, so he simply refused. He still gave it up in the name of giving it to needy workers, which would also make him look good in the eyes of the public.

Li Huaide's secretary had already received his instructions and slowly spread the news that Liu Huaju's tube-shaped building was given to employees with housing difficulties.

Of course Liu Hua knew about this matter. When he went in and out of the factory these days, others looked at him with admiration.

Of course, other people in the technical department were not as upright as Liu Hua, and the tube-shaped building was a great temptation for everyone at that time.

So when Liu Hua started to assign tasks in the department, everyone participated enthusiastically. If they could finish the job well, then when the time came to distribute the houses, Director Li would definitely take their contribution into consideration.

Just when Li Feng was assigning tasks, the logistics department also took the initiative to deliver a large amount of blank paper. Li Huaide is worthy of being a person with a logistics support background. In this regard, he always thinks ahead of everyone else.

After the tasks were assigned, the next thing became simple. Liu Hua started giving lectures every morning and the technicians studied the new technologies seriously.

In the afternoon, apart from routine work, everyone stayed in the office to draw pictures. Everyone was very enthusiastic. After all, the tube-shaped building in front was tempting, and who would dare not bow down for three rooms?

Every night, Liu Hua had to work overtime for an hour to review the drawings drawn that day. Li Huaide counted it as overtime and gave Liu Hua a subsidy when the time came.

This made Liu Feifei suffer. Liu Hua told her more than once that he had not come back yet and asked her to eat first, but Liu Feifei was very stubborn. Although she was a new-age woman, she also had some traditional concepts.

"How can I possibly pick up my chopsticks when the head of our family hasn't come back?" Liu Feifei said firmly, "You are the backbone of our family. I can only eat after you eat."

Liu Hua was very touched, but still persuaded: "Not really, our family doesn't have these feudal concepts. If we get really busy later, I might not go home all night, and you will be hungry all night."

Liu Feifei said firmly: "Then I will bring you food directly to the workshop of the steel mill, and we will eat together."
