Era: A college student came to the courtyard house

In a short time.

Everyone in the room looked at Fang Yuan, waiting for him to make a statement.

Despite having already considered his options, Fang Yuan pretended not to understand, calmly picked up his wine glass and took a sip. Just as Mu Wenbin was about to speak, he feigned realization and said:

"Uncle, Wenbin and I are buddies, so don't trouble yourself with this little thing." After saying this to the old man, Fang Yuan turned to Mu Wenlin and said, "Uncle, I just went through the onboarding process a few days ago, so I know it pretty well. Why don't you let me take Wenbin with me?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Wenlin immediately chuckled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Xiao Fang."

Seeing this, the old man could only give up in frustration.

Back in his room, the old man suddenly felt that having too many talented people in the courtyard wasn't necessarily a good thing.

Especially for families like Fang Yuan's, where everyone is alone, there are no weaknesses to exploit. If only everyone were as simple-minded as Sha Zhu and Xu Damao.

After Fang Yuan left.

Mu Wenbin asked his father, full of confusion, "Dad, why did you let Fang Yuan take me to report for duty? He's only been at Hongxing Steel Plant for a short time! That old man is an eighth-grade worker!"

Mu Wenlin smoked his cigarette and snorted, "It's normal that you're young and don't understand some things, but what I'm telling you today you have to keep to yourself. Your uncle's eighth-grade worker is different from those eighth-grade workers who are promoted based on their skills."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Wenbin looked surprised; he had never heard of such a thing before.

"I don't know the specifics, but I heard that two master craftsmen of the eighth grade were suddenly transferred from the steel rolling mill, and then your uncle was promoted to that position..."

"I see." Mu Wenbin nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite, as his father explained.

"Knowing that you were assigned to Hongxing Steel Plant, I specifically asked around. Old Fang's son was promoted to a regular position after only a few days at the steel plant, and even became the section chief of the inspection department. Everyone outside is saying that he caught the eye of that leader named Lin Xianghua. Having an old man take you there will only give you some influence at the steel rolling mill. But since you were assigned to the security department, it's better to have Fang Yuan take you there."

Upon hearing this, Mu Wenbin nodded blankly.

At first, he thought that he had made meritorious contributions in the army and would be treated as a section-level cadre after his transfer to civilian work, so his status was on par with Fang Yuan's. Therefore, when he learned that Fang Yuan had gone to university, he did not feel that there was much difference between the two of them.

Unexpectedly, Fang Yuan has now established himself firmly at Hongxing Steel Plant.

"Father, do you think Fang Yuan understands what you mean?"

Faced with Mu Wenbin's doubts, Mu Wenlin tapped his pipe, stood up, and replied, "Don't underestimate your buddy. If he didn't understand, he wouldn't have apologized to that old man first."

It must be said that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.

Mu's father had clearly put in a lot of effort and worry for his son's future.

Meanwhile, Fang Yuan returned to his room, quickly washed up, and lay down on the bed.

He was naturally aware of the intricacies involved in helping Mu Wenbin with his onboarding process.

He agreed not on a whim, nor because he was soft-hearted after eating a meal.

First of all, he knows the Mu family's background quite well. His family doesn't have any particularly close relationships in Hongxing, which can be seen from tonight's dinner. If they did, Fang Yuan wouldn't have been able to eat this meal.

Secondly, as a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, Mu's father had a good reputation among the neighbors and was quite skilled in medicine. He might need the help of others when he had the report about barefoot doctors, so it wouldn't hurt to sell it in advance.

Finally, for someone like Mu Wenbin, who is new to the workforce and has no background, he is currently Lin Xianghua's first choice for hiring. As long as Mu Wenbin performs reasonably well, Lin Xianghua will naturally put in a good word for him with Lin Xianghua.

Fang Yuan naturally understands the principle that a single tree cannot make a forest.

Furthermore, he also needs to build his own network of relationships.

Early the next morning.

Fang Yuan pushed his bicycle to the front yard.

Mu Wenbin had obviously gotten up early and was sitting at the door with his niece, who was both older and younger, after having breakfast.

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's greeting, Mu Wenlin hurriedly ran out of the room. Seeing that no one was around in the courtyard, he immediately stuffed the two boxes of peonies he had prepared in advance into Fang Yuan's satchel.

Fang Yuan couldn't refuse, so he could only accept it for the time being, going along with Mu's father's wishes.

He led Mu Wenbin out of the hospital.

As he hopped on the bicycle, Mu Wenbin, sitting on the back seat, couldn't help but tease, "Old Fang, you're really something, riding a bicycle."

Without turning his head, Fang Yuan cursed, "Get lost, don't tell me your dad didn't prepare a bicycle ticket for you."

Getting a bicycle ticket might be difficult for an ordinary family, but it wasn't a problem for Mu Wenbin's family. If I remember correctly, his father's salary was 79.5 yuan a month at level 12.

They belong to a high-income family.

Mu Wenbin chuckled and said, "You guessed it, but my dad said we should wait a few days before making a decision."

After chatting for a while, Mu Wenbin slowly opened up and started talking about some interesting things that happened in the army. Seeing that he was full of energy, Fang Yuan immediately stopped his bicycle and let Mu Wenbin ride him.

Guided by Fang Yuan, the two went to a bicycle shop, found Master Gong, and paid for the bicycle.

Perhaps because he had been cooped up in the army for too long, Mu Wenbin could still chatter on his bicycle.

Fang Yuan couldn't help but think to himself, what a wonderful "nuclear-powered donkey" this is.

Unfortunately, I was assigned to the security department.

Upon arriving at the south gate of Hongxing, Fang Yuan led Mu Wenbin to greet Grandpa Jiang before continuing inside.

Along the way, Fang Yuan kept greeting people.

Especially after entering the administration building, with everyone calling him "section chief" and "leader," Mu Wenbin couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Hey Lao Fang, it sounds like everyone here is a leader. Isn't there anyone who isn't a leader?"

Fang Yuan glanced back at him and said with a smile, "Yes, he's been saluting non-stop."

To highlight his identity, Mu Wenbin, who reported for duty on the first day, specially wore the green military uniform he had brought back from the army, and now he saluted and greeted everyone he met.

"You old Fang, you actually used me to interrupt." Mu Wenbin put down his right hand that had just finished saluting and suddenly realized what was going on.

At this moment, led by Fang Yuan, the two had arrived at the entrance of the personnel department on the fourth floor.

"Good morning, Section Chief Li."

As soon as I entered, Li Jufang was already sitting in her seat, burying her head in organizing stacks of documents.

Upon seeing this, Fang Yuan couldn't help but sigh, "No one can succeed easily."

He arrived early today, but Li Jufang, the deputy section chief of the personnel department, arrived even earlier, and judging from her appearance, she was already in work mode.

No wonder she can rattle off personnel information from various departments so easily; she must have really put in a lot of hard work.
