If they lost this support and it really came to a life-and-death situation, it would not be surprising if Jia Zhangshi really sold Qin Huairu by the pound.

Liang Ladi knew that there was no way to continue talking about this topic, so she simply skipped it.

"Mom, I'm telling you, I signed up with the factory today and will go to the steel mill for exchange and study someday."

"What is exchange learning?"

"Workers from small factories like us can go to bigger factories to learn experience and skills. If we perform well, we can stay in the big factories directly."

"That's a good thing. If you stay in a big company, won't you get a higher salary?"

"I have asked the workshop director about it. The salary and allowance will not be less than now, and there will be an extra two yuan allowance per month during the study period. The only problem is the accommodation."

"It's such a hassle, aren't you going to kick us out?"

"No, mom, don't scare yourself. It's like this. When I go to the steel mill for exchange and study, you can still live in the house here. The steel mill will arrange a place for us to live, but I don't know how big the house arranged by the steel mill is. If the house is bigger, I can still move you there, but if the house is not big enough, I will ask the steel mill if I can return the house and exchange the money for the house for a subsidy directly to me."

Mrs. Shen asked:

"Then how long will it take you to get back from the steel mill?"

“It takes about two hours to walk there.”

"It takes so long, Ladi. You work so hard every day, how can you walk four hours a day? Don't walk back and forth like this. I'll take care of Damao and the others for you. These children are so sensible. They do their homework when they get home and don't run around. Don't worry."

"Mom, it's not that hard. The exchange and study will only take a month or two. It's okay for me to make a few more trips if I can earn a little more money for the family."

"I'll try working in the steel mill this time. If the house they arrange is big enough, we'll move in together. If it's too small, I'll come back after get off work. We can talk about the house after I get into the steel mill. Is that okay with you?"

Mrs. Shen tried her best to persuade Liang Ladi but failed. She really liked and loved this daughter-in-law.

Five days later, all the work had been arranged. The workers who were going to the steel rolling mill for exchange and study put on neat work clothes and lined up in front of the machine repair shop.

Some strong and handsome workers were placed at the front of the team in order to leave a good impression on the leaders of the steel mill.

Ding Qiunan also stood in the first row of the team. Her cold expression was really out of place with the workers beside her who were smiling and excited.

At the appointed time, two trucks gradually appeared in everyone's sight.

Everyone knew that they were here to take them to the steel mill, and they straightened their chests unconsciously.

Factory Director Zhang was wearing a neat and tidy Mao suit today. After the truck stopped, Factory Director Zhang hurried over to greet the driver.

"Chief Wang, it's really hard for you to make this trip today."

Wang Guoqiang, who was wearing a security uniform, said seriously, "There is no hardship when serving the people. Director Zhang, are all the workers ready?"

"It's ready. Comrades from the Security Department can check it at any time."

Wang Guoqiang nodded, looked at the workers, and said loudly: "In order to prevent enemy agents from carrying dangerous items and mixing with the workers, everyone should line up and come forward to be inspected when their names are called."

It is routine for the Security Department to check people. After all, the workers of these branch factories are "outsiders" to the main factory and are not familiar with them. Who knows if there are enemy spies lurking among them for many years, especially since the Security Department caught an enemy spy just last year. It is not excessive to remain highly vigilant and beware of enemy spies now.

The steel mill has received the information of the workers who participated in the exchange and study submitted by the machine repair factory. The transportation department checked each worker one by one based on the information to confirm that no one was carrying any dangerous or spy items such as eavesdropping or secretly taking photos.

"Everyone, the first three rows get on the first car, the last three rows get on the second car, no crowding allowed, the comrades who get on the car first help the comrades who get on the car later"

Under the direction of the Transport Department, sixty workers boarded the trucks in two groups. Three rows of benches were placed on each truck, and people sat next to each other. It was very crowded.

Everyone got on the bus one by one, but when it was Ding Qiunan's turn, she stood by the bus, frowning, hesitating and not getting on.

Wang Guoqiang, who was standing nearby, saw the team stop and came over to ask, "What's going on? Why aren't you getting on the bus yet?"

Ding Qiunan turned around and said, "Chief Wang, I'm not feeling well. Can I apply to sit in the passenger seat?"

Wang Guoqiang raised his eyebrows and said sternly: "No, the co-pilot seat is for our security department comrades. They have to hold guns to guard against enemy spies who may appear at any time. We can't give it to you."

When the transport department drives a truck to escort something, although the driver is also equipped with a gun, when driving, he often cannot shoot at the first time when encountering an emergency, so the security guard on the co-pilot seat usually holds a gun throughout the journey to ensure that he can fire at any time. This position is indeed not for everyone.

Factory Director Zhang heard the conversation and hurried over to say:

"Chief Wang is right, Doctor Ding, if you are not feeling well, just be patient for a while, otherwise just stay in the factory and have a good rest."

Chapter 293: You Must Not Offend Director Zhu

Director Zhang's words were threatening, and he was secretly worried.

"Ding Qiunan usually gives her some face, so she really thinks she is a big shot, right? How can she throw a tantrum at this time?!"

Ding Qiunan is good-looking and the only doctor in the factory. Although she doesn't have much power, she has some face in the factory. The leaders are usually friendly to her. But that was in the factory. Now she is facing the leaders outside.

Ding Qiunan saw that Director Zhang looked unhappy, and also saw that Wang Guoqiang looked serious and had no intention of caring for her. After struggling for a while, she finally lowered her head and got into the car.

Director Zhang wiped his sweat and whispered, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Chief Wang."

"It's nothing. Everyone gets sick sometimes. It's just a small thing."

Wang Guoqiang certainly didn't argue with Director Zhang. He could see that Ding Qiunan was a bit squeamish, but after all, it wasn't a big deal, so there was no need to make a big fuss. He turned around and shouted:

"Check and make sure all comrades are on board before setting off."

Everyone got on the truck, except for the security guard who was driving. Even Director Zhang had to sit in the back with the others. After making sure no one was left behind, the truck started and drove towards the steel mill.

Ding Qiunan has a cold personality and doesn't like crowded places. Especially this time, there are only three female comrades among the 60 people going to the steel mill, including her. She doesn't want to squeeze in the car, but there is no way, the security department will not indulge her temper.

When he first got on the bus, Ding Qiunan sat at the very end of the bus, leaning against the edge, trying to distance himself from the people around him.

But now even the roads in the city are very bad, and the shock absorbers and suspension of the truck are also stiff. The car started to shake from side to side after driving for a while.

There was no handrail on the car, so the workers had to lean on each other to keep their balance. Ding Qiunan had no choice but to squeeze and bump into the workers around him. Ding Qiunan felt like yesterday's dinner was about to be knocked out.

We finally arrived at the steel mill. Most of the workers in the workshop were in good health, so they were fine after the bumpy ride. However, Ding Qiunan looked really bad, as if he was about to vomit.

Wang Guoqiang noticed that Ding Qiunan looked unhappy, but he didn't care.

"Director Yang, all the comrades from the machine repair factory have arrived."

"Thank you for your hard work, comrades in the security department"

“It’s not hard work, it’s all about serving the people”

After a few polite words were exchanged between the two sides, Wang Guoqiang led the security guards and the truck back to the security department to verify the identity of each worker and to safely send all the workers to the steel mill. The security department had already done all of this. As for how to arrange the workers in the future and whether they were unwell and needed treatment, that was the business of the steel mill. Wang Guoqiang would not bother himself with other people's business.

After parking the truck, Wang Guoqiang came to Bai Wanli's office to report

"Report to the Director, the task of picking up and dropping off the workers from the machine repair shop has been completed."

"Very good. Did anything go wrong on the way?"

"The mission went very smoothly, without any accidents, except for one person's situation that needs to be reported to the director."

"Who?"

"Ding Qiunan, the factory doctor at the machine repair factory, is he here to exchange ideas and study with us this time?"

Bai Wanli didn't expect to hear Ding Qiunan's name here. After going to the machine repair factory last time, Bai Wanli specially read "Man is Iron and Rice is Steel"

"What's the problem with Ding Qiunan?"

"It's not a big problem at the moment, but she's a little bit squeamish. When we went to pick her up, she didn't want to sit in the back of the car. Judging from her expression, she must have disliked the crowded back. She didn't like being squeezed with other workers. After being warned by Director Zhang, she behaved herself."

Bai Wanli's mouth twitched. He had thought that Ding Qiunan's temper would easily cause trouble in this era, but he didn't expect Wang Guoqiang to see it.

Wang Guoqiang said that the problem was not serious at present because not many people knew about it. Although the problem was not serious, Ding Qiunan did not want to squeeze into the car with other workers. If the news spread, she would be accused of discriminating against the working class and she would be punished.

Some men are really cheap. They like Ding Qiunan's cold and aloof personality. The more she ignores him, the more he likes her. Nan Yi and Cui Dake are both like this.

But this kind of independent personality is not suitable for this era of collective and unity. If the wind blows, I don't know how he will be attacked. The key is that Ding Qiunan is a factory doctor, and his work will be arranged next to Zhu Qingan.

Although from the plot of the TV series Ding Qiunan does not have the malicious intention to harm others, her character is not good in this era. What if she gets into trouble?

Bai Wanli was thinking silently. Wang Guoqiang lowered his head and walked out.

On the other side, workers from various factories arrived at the steel mill one after another. Director Yang and a group of leaders from the steel mill held a meeting in front of the workers. He said some polite words to encourage the workers to study hard and improve themselves. Then, according to the process, different workers were assigned to different workshops according to their skills.

The only factory doctor who came this time was Ding Qiunan. After the meeting, she was brought to the director of the medical office, Lin Zhiguo.

"Doctor Ding, this is Comrade Lin Zhiguo, the director of the steel mill's medical office."

"Director Lin, this is Ding Qiunan, the factory doctor from the machine repair factory. She will be studying and working in the infirmary during this period."

"Hello, Doctor Ding."

"Hello, Director Lin"

After the two greeted each other, Lin Zhiguo took Ding Qiunan to the infirmary and introduced the basic situation of the infirmary to Ding Qiunan on the way.

"Doctor Ding, there were two doctors in the infirmary before you. One was me, and the other was Deputy Director Zhu Qing'an. There were also more than a dozen nursing staff. I will introduce them to you one by one in a moment. In the future, if there is a need to move medicines or simple wound treatment in the infirmary, you can ask them to do it."

"But there are two comrades named Wu Yongqing and Wu Yongdan. You don't have to worry about them. They only listen to Director Zhu."

Ding Qiunan hoped that he could work as a factory doctor in the steel mill, so that his future development prospects would at least be better than working in the machine repair factory. So he carefully remembered the situation in the infirmary. When he heard this, he couldn't help but wonder.

"Why?"

"There is no reason. Just remember it. There is one more thing. Consider it a private reminder to you. You can offend anyone in the infirmary, including me, the director. You can even contradict Director Yang, but you must never offend Director Zhu. You must remember this."

Chapter 294 Ding Qiunan works, Zhu Qingan takes a vacation

Lin Zhiguo reminded Ding Qiunan so seriously, and even told her directly such incorrect words as "You can't offend XXX", because if Zhu Qingan made any mistake in the infirmary, he, as the director, would be held responsible. Who would be able to withstand Bai Wanli's anger at that time?

Everyone in the infirmary knew the stakes. Not only did they not dare to offend Zhu Qingan, but they also had to watch carefully whenever Zhu Qingan stood up, lest he accidentally fell and they become the eggs in the overturned nest.

Ding Qiunan is new here and doesn't know the rules, so I need to remind him.

Bai Wanli was very famous, but Zhu Qing'an, as his wife, was not well-known. Ding Qiunan had never heard of Zhu Qing'an. Seeing Lin Zhiguo being so cautious, he thought to himself, "Could it be that Director Zhu was a relative of some big leader, and even Director Yang didn't take him seriously?"

With an answer that was almost the truth, Ding Qiunan followed Lin Zhiguo to the infirmary.

"Comrades, let me introduce you to Dr. Ding Qiunan from the machine repair factory. Starting today, he will be studying in our clinic for two months. Welcome him."

The people in the infirmary applauded, and Zhu Qingan came over and extended his hand to Ding Qiunan.

"Hello, Comrade Ding Qiunan, I am Zhu Qingan, the deputy director of the medical office."

Zhu Qingan's beauty amazed Ding Qiunan, who had grown up listening to people praising her beauty. The temperament and charm of the other person made Ding Qiunan feel inferior.

"...Hello, Deputy Director Zhu"

The title of deputy director made everyone in the infirmary look a little strange, because they usually called Zhu Qingan "Director Zhu", even Lin Zhiguo himself called him that, but they didn't expect Ding Qiunan, the newcomer who "didn't know the rules" to be so...
