Reborn in 1985, starting from a machine factory

I received my salary of sixty-two yuan!

The mailroom received 38 yuan for two articles.

This month, including previous royalties, I earned a full 120 yuan!

I can't even imagine what it would be like every month!

I took the afternoon off!

With money in his pocket, Chen Mo pedaled his bicycle incredibly fast.

It was agreed with the neighborhood committee to sign the agreement in the afternoon; it was definitely not appropriate for Zhao Degui to handle this matter alone.

Regardless, Li Guihua and Chen Mo must remain.

And today is different. Chen Rui actually went out today, wearing a hat that covered most of her face.

Li Guihua changed into the clothes she wore for the New Year.

Chen Mo and Zhao Degui were more casual.

Four people, three bicycles!

At 2 p.m., the car stopped right on time at the entrance of the street office factory.

This time, without waiting for the gatekeeper to shout, Zhao Degui reached in and threw in a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes!

The old man looked at it carefully, then waved for Chen Mo and the others to go inside.

The factory interior is no different from what I saw yesterday.

Li Guihua was a little nervous. The tidy house and clean road made every step she took difficult.

She unconsciously moved closer to Chen Rui, lowered her head, and lagged behind the crowd.

Chen Rui realized something was wrong, so she pulled Li Guihua aside.

"Knock knock knock!"

Approaching the office, Zhao Degui knocked and then opened the door.

The smoke inside was so thick that people couldn't see anything, but Director Zhou and Director Wu were completely oblivious, and the cigarettes in their hands never went out for a moment.

When Zhao Degui entered the room, Director Wu stood up, while Factory Director Zhou merely raised his eyelids and didn't move an inch.

"Hey, Lao Zhao, you're here so early!" Director Wu said.

"Of course!" Zhao Degui stepped forward and offered a cigarette. "How's it going, Director Wu? Is the contract ready?"

"Who are these two?" Director Wu asked, pointing to Li Guihua and Chen Rui.

"One is Li Guihua, who is the legal representative on the business license," Zhao Degui said.

"The other one is Chen Rui, who will be the future finance director and factory manager."

Chen Mo had already spoken with Chen Rui about it at noon.

He and Chen Mo shared the same view: Chen Rui was the most suitable person right now.

I've been to school!

I've worked in light industry!

Hearing Zhao Degui speak, Li Guihua was still a little nervous, while Chen Rui took off her hat: "Director Wu!"

"Xiao Chen!" Director Wu's eyes widened. "Is this your business?"

"I guess so!" Chen Rui nodded.

"If you had said it was yours earlier, I would have given you a better price!" Director Wu said.

"Director Wu, you can offer a discount now, right?" Zhao Degui interjected.

"It's all been reported, what's the point of getting a discount!" Director Wu glanced at Zhao Degui.

"Director Wu, let's sign it then, let's get it over with!" Chen Rui said.

"Hey, Lao Zhou, come over and sign!" Director Wu called out as he turned around.

"This is a transfer and lease agreement, with a lease term of five years."

"This is a risk deposit agreement, which will be automatically returned upon expiration."

"This is the equipment handover list."

Director Wu took out three documents.

Upon hearing Director Wu speak, Factory Director Zhou reluctantly stood up.

"This last document is the employment continuation agreement. As we discussed yesterday, we will retain ten workers."

Zhao Degui glanced at Chen Mo, and Chen Mo consciously pushed Li Guihua to the table.

"Old Zhao, you and this chief engineer need at least one more signature, and you can sign it too, Xiao Chen."

"Comrade Li Guihua is fine, but I also have to be responsible to the organization!"

Director Wu unscrewed the pen.

"I'll sign!" Chen Mo said, taking out the money he had already counted from his pocket and handing it to Chen Rui.

Li Guihua held the pen, which was much unfamiliar to her than usual. After a while, she finally wrote her name.

Chen Mo's signature followed immediately after her name.

Director Wu signs quickly and stamps his seal quickly.

Almost as soon as Chen Rui finished counting the money, all three documents were signed.

Zhao Degui breathed a sigh of relief.

Director Wu is the same.

Only Director Zhou, after much hesitation, pressed his fingerprint on the equipment list.

"It's done!"

"This factory is yours now!"

When Director Wu spoke, he also took the new license over.

Red Star Antenna Factory!

The name "Li Guihua" is clearly visible in the legal representative section.

Chen Mo unconsciously glanced at it again, and he could hear his own heartbeat.

"alright!"

The factory belongs to our family now!

Zhao Degui offered cigarettes to Director Wu and Factory Manager Zhou: "Director Wu, are there any suitable cardboard box factories around here?"

"have!"

"Zhenguo Cardboard Box Factory, I'll tell you where it is later."

"Would mentioning your name help?"

"Old Zhao, you're really not being polite," Director Wu said, tapping his cigarette ash.

Chen Mo looked away from the business license and picked up the personnel list. "Director Wu, could you tell me where Factory Director Zhou is planning to take a job?"

"I'm asking you, Lao Zhou!"

"Where are you going to work?" Director Wu patted Factory Manager Zhou on the shoulder.

Factory Director Zhou remained silent, smoking quietly.

"This factory is so big, and my aunt is just starting out. I wonder if Director Zhou could mentor her?" Chen Mo asked.

Factory Director Zhou suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Mo.

"Of course, if Director Zhou has a better place to go, then disregard what I said!"

As soon as Chen Mo finished speaking, Director Wu straightened up: "Are you really still short of a factory manager?"

"We don't need a factory manager!" Chen Mo shook his head. "We need a deputy factory manager. The factory manager is my aunt, Chen Rui!"

"Oh!" Director Wu leaned back in his chair.

If Chen Mo really made a mistake and let Director Zhou become the factory director, then that would be great!

It's like someone is paying wages, but in the end, the factory is still under the control of the neighborhood committee.

But if he's just a deputy factory director, the impact won't be too great.

"Director Zhou, you know all these people who stayed behind; they'll be useful in the future!"

"If we were to use them, these people would find it difficult and wouldn't be able to do it well either," Chen Mo said.

Director Wu suddenly spoke up: "Old Zhou, you promised to come back to the subdistrict office and play chess with me, so don't get any other ideas!"

"If we play chess for a few more years, we should both retire!"

"Playing chess? You've never won!" Director Zhou turned his head and spoke in a gruff voice.

"The deputy factory director?"

"right!"

"You want to make antennas?"

"Yes, it's not available on the market, and it works very well."

"We've already tried!" Chen Mo said, "The factory's products were outdated before, you couldn't handle them, and outsiders didn't like them either."

"But this time it's different, this time they'll definitely like it!"

"If we can make money, we can retain employees, and the factory will get better and better!"

Chen Mo's gaze was firm.

Factory Director Zhou glanced at Chen Mo, then lowered his head.

After a while, Factory Director Zhou stubbed out his cigarette: "Old Wu, I want to give it a try!"

"Whatever you want. Anyway, I've reserved the safety supervisor position for you. You can come back whenever you want." Director Wu lit a new cigarette.

Chen Mo smiled.

"Fine, you're all in cahoots now. Looks like I'm just superfluous!"

"I'll head back now; I still need to report to the finance department!" Director Wu picked up the money and documents on the table and left the office.

The group saw them to the door.

Upon returning to his office, Chen Mo immediately opened the windows for ventilation.

Li Guihua refused to come in this time, and instead wandered around the factory.

"Director Zhou, is there anything you'd like to ask?"

Chen Mo said.

"have!"

Factory Director Zhou raised his head.
