Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

The text praises Li Huaide for setting a good example and for teaching his subordinates to be outstanding individuals who are pillars of the nation.

He also instructed Li Huaide to give high praise to these good comrades who had returned from the Fanrong Forest Farm.

Furthermore, the deeds of Xiao Shan and his colleagues must be widely publicized throughout Beijing so that everyone can emulate this group of dedicated cadres.

We should do practical things for the people, instead of being all talk and no action and just sitting in the office giving orders.

The story of Xiaoshan and his team donating military overcoats to Fanrong Forest Farm and then braving the cold to catch the train has undoubtedly had a huge positive impact.

Therefore, the organization will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity to promote positive energy!

When Li Huaide returned to Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, he was still processing the words and instructions given by his superiors.

Li Huaide even thought that Xiao Shan might be a reincarnation of a lucky star.

After being sent to the three northeastern provinces for half a month of labor, he actually made it into the local newspaper.

Moreover, he even made the newspaper article with all the cadres who were assigned to Fanrong Forest Farm this time!

Even Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill is likely to receive countless awards and recognitions in the future!

In the afternoon, Li Huaide obtained the first newspaper that reported on Xiaoshan.

Seeing Xiao Shan and the others wrapped in blankets, their backs so cold they could barely stand up straight, Li Huaide was filled with emotion.

This really shows that good people are always blessed!

Of the cadres from Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill who were sent to the three northeastern provinces for labor reform, only those from Xiaoshan made it into the newspapers.

When the others returned, they were still wearing their military overcoats!

Only Xiao Shan and his group thought of this: the old workers and educated youth at Fanrong Forest Farm had a hard time getting through the winter, and they wouldn't need to wear military overcoats after returning to Beijing, so they donated the general's overcoat to Fanrong Forest Farm.

The newspaper even reported that their reporter went back to Fanrong Forest Farm the next day to conduct a special interview about the deeds of the people from Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill in Fanrong Forest Farm.

Li Huaide himself received many calls from major newspapers in the afternoon, all inquiring about the people who would be working at the Fanrong Forest Farm and how they usually performed at the steel rolling mill.

Even the editor-in-chief of the Sijiu City Newspaper called him directly: "Director Li, you must reserve the exclusive interviews for those cadres from your factory who went to Fanrong Forest Farm for our Sijiu City Newspaper! After all, these are our own good comrades from Sijiu City, and we can't let other newspapers take advantage of them!"

Li Huaide had a good relationship with the editor-in-chief, so he immediately agreed with a smile: "Of course! You might even know the leader; he's Xiao Shan, who published an article in your newspaper before."

"Oh, it was him! No wonder!" the editor-in-chief exclaimed on the other end of the phone, suddenly realizing. "Our city's reputation is really rising thanks to people like them! Everyone's saying that our city truly lives up to its reputation as the capital; the people who come from here are so enlightened!"

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Huaide patted his chest and assured the editor-in-chief that the newspaper could send someone over for an exclusive interview in two days.

The editor-in-chief expressed his understanding: "Those people in the three northeastern provinces are indeed suffering. Let our comrades get some rest. See you at the steel rolling mill in two days!"

"No problem, no problem." Li Huaide smiled and hung up the phone.

The newspaper's editor-in-chief is coming in person two days later, which shows how much the Sijiucheng Newspaper values ​​this exclusive interview.

Indeed, many local newspapers called today, which shows how typical this situation in Xiaoshan is.

After thinking about this and that for a while, Li Huaide called Xiao Shan's family to tell Xiao Shan the good news that he would be giving an exclusive interview.

Xiao Shan never expected that his impromptu donation of military coats would cause such a stir.

When the steel mill workers returned to their yard after get off work that evening, they spread the word throughout the yard about what Xiao Shan and his team had reported.

The day that Li Huaide and the editor-in-chief of the Sijiu City Daily had agreed upon for the exclusive interview arrived quickly.

After the newspaper's editor-in-chief arrived at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill with the newspaper's editors and reporters, Li Huaide had Xiao Shan and the others invited over.

After the two sides got to know each other, the newspaper editor-in-chief smiled and said to Xiao Shan and the others, "This time, our newspaper plans to use an entire page to introduce our good comrades from Beijing."

"So we will be conducting a brief interview with each person and taking a photo later. We hope everyone will cooperate actively!"

Upon hearing that photos would be taken, everyone except Xiao Shan became excited.

After all, taking photos in this era is not an easy thing.

After giving some instructions on what to pay attention to, the editor-in-chief began interviewing Xiao Shan and others.

When interviewed by the editor-in-chief, everyone vividly recounted the story of donating the military coats.

"I was quite reluctant to part with the military overcoat that the factory issued this time, but what Deputy Director Xiao said at the time was right. Our conditions as government officials are much better than those of the workers and educated youth in the forest farm. Some of the forest farm workers even wore cotton-padded coats that were covered with patches. It made us feel quite bad when we saw that."

"Moreover, when we were working in the forest, the veteran workers there took special care of us, so we wanted to reciprocate by giving them some warmth in return."

……

"So, Deputy Factory Director Xiao, how did you come up with the idea of ​​donating the general's overcoats to the forest farm?" The newspaper editor-in-chief was very interested when he learned that it was Xiao Shan who mobilized everyone to donate the general's overcoats, and he quickly asked Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan sighed and said with a serious expression, "Back then, I saw a female educated youth in the forest farm. Her hands and feet were covered in frostbite. These frostbite were so painful and itchy at night that she couldn't sleep at all."

"Wang Chunsheng, the director of Fanrong Forest Farm, is a very good person. He knows that female comrades are generally weaker than male comrades, so he arranged logistics work for the female educated youth in the forest farm. I thought to myself, if a female educated youth doing logistics work in the forest farm is already frozen like this, then it must be even more difficult for the workers and educated youth working in the forest farm."

"In addition, we have a deep understanding of the work we have done there, so we came up with this idea. At first, I was worried that people would not be happy. After all, military overcoats are very precious even for cadres in our organization. They represent the honor of working in the forest farm. I was worried that people would think I was meddling."

"But I didn't expect everyone to be so supportive of my idea. So I don't think it was me who mobilized everyone, but rather that I just happened to express what everyone was thinking, and everyone agreed immediately, and that's how it came about."

Xiao Shan did not take all the credit for himself.

Instead, he specifically emphasized that he was simply expressing what everyone was thinking.

This means that all of them spontaneously wanted to donate military coats to the forest farm, rather than being mobilized by Xiaoshan.

Xiao Shan's remarks immediately won the favor of everyone present.

The newspaper staff felt that although Xiao Shan was a leader, he was not greedy for credit and was very humble.

The people at the steel rolling mill, however, felt that Xiao Shan was saying this for their own good, to give them more glory.

After all, everyone was well aware of the situation at the time. In fact, many people were unwilling because they wanted to wear the military overcoat back to Beijing and show it off to their family and friends.

But seeing that the women in the group had all donated their general's coats without hesitation, they knew they couldn't fall behind, so they also donated their general's coats.

Unexpectedly, although they no longer had military overcoats to show off, they unexpectedly gained recognition from the organization and the public.

Moreover, Xiao Shan, in front of the newspaper, claimed that the donation of military overcoats was a spontaneous act by everyone, not something he initiated.

They will receive even more respect and praise in Beijing in the future.

In fact, Xiao Shan knew at the time that some people were reluctant to part with their military overcoats.

After all, of the cadres who went out to work at the steel mill, only their team from the Fanrong Forest Farm did not return wearing military overcoats.

So he planned to discuss with Li Huaide after returning to Beijing, and ask Li Huaide to bring over another batch of military overcoats.

While compensating everyone, the remaining military overcoats were donated to the Prosperity Forest Farm in the name of the steel rolling mill.

After all, the military overcoats for these few dozen people were far from enough to go around for the forestry workers and educated youth.

But now it seems there's no need to compensate everyone.

After all, once this matter is reported in the newspaper, the factory will reward everyone.

Moreover, given the high level of public attention this matter receives, if he were to distribute military overcoats to everyone, it would inevitably lead to some unnecessary gossip.

Just as Xiao Shan and his team were being interviewed in the factory's conference room, Li Huaide arrived with a smile and his entourage.

Li Huaide presented each person with a banner, as well as an award certificate and certificate for outstanding individual performance.

"Now, as the director of the steel rolling mill, I'd like to say a few words." Li Huaide cleared his throat. "The mill has also prepared awards for all the comrades from our steel rolling mill who went to work at the Fanrong Forest Farm this time."

"After discussion and decision by the factory leaders, it has been decided that the deeds of all comrades are worthy of learning by our vast cadre group. Therefore, the factory has decided to encourage and commend all comrades! Each comrade will be awarded fifty yuan, ten jin of meat coupons, one hundred industrial coupons, and a Russian-made fountain pen!"

Chapter 527, Li Huaide's Approach to Winning Hearts and Minds! (Please Subscribe!)

After hearing Li Huaide's words, everyone cheered on the spot.

Putting aside the money and coupon rewards, these Russian-made fountain pens are a rare commodity.

In the steel rolling mill, the award is only given to outstanding individuals each year, and only ten awards are given out annually!

This award for outstanding individuals is usually given to people who have made special contributions to the factory, and it is very difficult to be selected.

Now, just because they donated a military overcoat, they not only received a banner for being helpful, but were also directly named as outstanding individuals and received a Soviet fountain pen as a symbol of honor!

This is enough for them to brag about to their neighbors for a lifetime!

Faced with the cheers, Li Huaide smiled and waved to everyone, signaling them to quiet down.

After everyone quieted down, Li Huaide continued, "Also, our steel rolling mill can't fall behind. We've decided to donate a batch of military overcoats to Fanrong Forest Farm in the name of our steel rolling mill! Deputy Director Xiao, you're in charge of the purchasing department. The military overcoats will arrive at the factory in the next few days, so this matter will have to be handled by you."

"Yes, factory manager, I guarantee I'll complete the task!" Xiao Shan immediately agreed.

Thinking to myself, Li Huaide must have some real skills to have reached the position of factory director.

Before he even mentioned it, Li Huaide had already thought of it and even taken care of everything.

The newspaper reporters naturally wouldn't miss this excellent opportunity, taking several photos of Li Huaide without any regard for the film.

At this moment, they all had the same thought in mind: when they got back, they must write several articles praising the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and these lovely cadres, so that the people in those places could see the demeanor of the cadres in Beijing.

At this moment, Wang Chunsheng of Fanrong Forest Farm was also being interviewed by reporters.

When Wang Chunsheng heard that Xiao Shan and the others left the three northeastern provinces, they were all wrapped in blankets as they rushed to catch the train. If it weren't for the many kind people who helped them carry their luggage, they might not have even made it to the train. His eyes welled up with tears at that moment.

Wang Chunsheng told the reporter who interviewed him with great emotion: "I could tell when they came to the forest farm that they were not like cadres from other places who were arrogant and incompetent. They were all very polite, especially Comrade Xiaoshan who led the team."

"I was really reluctant to see them leave the forest farm. I never imagined that even after they left, they would still be thinking about our forest farm workers!"

As he spoke, Wang Chunsheng rubbed his eyes, wiping away all the tears in them: "The military overcoats that everyone received are now being worn by the workers and educated youth in the forest farm who are in poorer physical condition. Everyone is very moved by the gifts from the comrades at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill!"

In fact, Wang Chunsheng was already moved to tears when he received the military overcoat brought back by the driver in the forest farm.

Imagine how cold it must be for Xiao Shan and the others to take off their military overcoats in this freezing weather!

After finishing the interview with the Sijiu City Newspaper in Xiaoshan, they returned to the purchasing department to continue listening to everyone's reports on the work done over the past two weeks.

After all, he, as the top leader, has been away for more than half a month, so there are still a lot of things to deal with.

As the story of Xiao Shan and his comrades spread throughout Beijing, the cadres from the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill who had gone to the countryside with Xiao Shan and his group but had not been assigned to the same place dared not wear their general's overcoats in public.

They even harbored some resentment, wondering why their team leader hadn't asked them to donate military overcoats.

Otherwise, they could be in the newspapers by now!

However, it wasn't just Xiaoshan and his group that were affected by the donated military coat incident.

By mid-December, Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill had even won a grand slam in various awards and commendations throughout Beijing this year.

Having won so many awards in Beijing, the welfare of all workers and cadres at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill will naturally be a level higher than in previous years during this year's Spring Festival.

Moreover, the honors that the steel rolling mill receives are everyone's honors.

Therefore, everyone at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, from workers to managers, is eagerly anticipating the arrival of the New Year.

The day for government officials to receive their paychecks was fast approaching.

Government officials receive their pay seven days earlier than factory workers.

In other words, government officials have seven more days of annual leave than factory workers.

However, a sudden piece of news made Xiaoshan realize that it would be difficult to have a good New Year this year.

Because Li Huaide had just called together all the important leaders in the factory for a small meeting the day before payroll was due.

"Here's the thing, I received a message from above yesterday that after our factory resumes operations next year, a batch of quotas for worker-peasant-soldier college students will be allocated to our factory. In other words, all workers and cadres in our factory will have the opportunity to go to university."

"Because our factory won a grand slam of awards in Beijing at the end of this year, we will have a lot of places allocated to worker-peasant-soldier college students next year! So I’m handing this problem over to you all so you can help me think about who should get these college places."

"Especially you, Xiaoshan, our factory has so many more university places this time, all thanks to your actions in the three northeastern provinces! Putting everything else aside, pick a few and tell me the names! Just one thing, you can't go to university and leave all the purchasing department work to me!" Li Huaide said half-jokingly.

The leaders present all smiled slightly upon hearing Li Huaide's words.

The opportunity to attend university holds no appeal for these high-ranking officials. Besides, now that they've reached their positions, whether or not they have a university degree is irrelevant.

Xiao Shan is now over thirty years old. If he wasn't out of his mind, he definitely wouldn't have gone to university.

Xiao Shan himself wasn't really interested in going to university.

He'd be better off using that time to cultivate!

"Don't worry, factory manager. Even if you send me to university, I'm going to stay at the factory and not leave," Xiao Shan replied with a smile. "I've forgotten almost everything I learned in school. Wouldn't it be a laughing stock if I went to university?"

Li Huaide breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Xiao Shan's words.

He was worried that Xiao Shan might impulsively decide to go to university!

Since Xiao Shan doesn't have this idea in mind, that's naturally the best outcome.
