My name is Li Tiezhu, and that year, that is, in 1979, I returned to the village after transferring from the army. In the army, I was the commander of Erniang's company, and my comrades-in-arms jokingly called me "Erniang". After changing jobs, I was assigned to work as a deputy director in a paper mill in the village.
The paper mill is not big, there are only dozens of workers, and the director is a thin old man, named Chen Laoliu. As soon as he saw me, he smiled and said, "Erniang, you are here, our factory is looking forward to the stars and the moon and looking forward to you!" ”
I was a little puzzled and asked him: "Director Chen, I am a soldier and don't know anything about papermaking, what do you expect me to do?" ”
Director Chen smiled: "If you can lead soldiers, you can lead workers." This group of people in our factory is not easy to manage. ”
Sure enough, on my first day in office, I had a problem. A few thorns in the factory got together to drink, drank too much and made trouble, and smashed the boiler in the factory. I rushed to the scene, and without saying a word, I pulled out the person named Wang Mazi who was the leader.
"Erniang, you just came, just tidy us up, it's not appropriate, right?" Wang Mazi looked at me drunkenly.
I glared at him: "Wang Mazi, what you smashed was the things in the factory, that is, you smashed everyone's jobs." If I don't teach you a lesson today, you really don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick! ”
After that, I asked the workers to tie up a few of them and fix the boiler themselves. That night, I was busy until dawn and finally got the boiler fixed.
Since then, the workers at the factory have been in awe of me. I brought the discipline of the troops to the factory, and everyone's enthusiasm for production gradually increased.
One day, Director Chen came to me and said, "Erniang, our factory wants to expand its scale, but the funds are not enough, do you have any solutions?" ”
I thought about it for a while and said, "We can borrow money from the bank, and then find a relationship and strive for some policy support." ”
Director Chen slapped his thigh: "Yes, why didn't I think of it!" ”
After a lot of hard work, we finally got the loan and the support of the government. After the factory expanded, business became more and more prosperous.
However, the good times were short-lived. One day, Wang Mazi made trouble again. He led a group of people to burn the raw materials in the factory.
I rushed to the scene and asked him, "Wang Mazi, why are you doing this?" ”
Wang Mazi sneered: "Erniang, who do you think you are?" You're just a dog of Director Chen! ”
I was stunned for a moment, and then I understood that this was someone sowing discord behind my back.
I glared at Wang Mazi: "Wang Mazi, you were used as a gun by others, and you don't know yet!" ”
After speaking, I turned around and went to find Director Chen. Director Chen told me that Wang Mazi was bought by a man named Zhao San. Zhao San is a competitor of our factory, and he has always wanted to annex our factory.
I know that this fight has only just begun. I took the workers and worked overtime to recover the losses. At the same time, I discussed with Director Chen to find a way to fight back against Zhao San.
After some twists and turns, we finally found evidence of Zhao San's crime. At the critical moment, we handed over the evidence to the relevant departments, and Zhao San was brought to justice.
The factory returned to its former tranquility and the workers became more united. I watched all of this with a sense of relief.
In the blink of an eye, decades have passed, and I have never regretted my choice. Because I know that here is my youth, and there is my hard work. And this perseverance has also allowed me to harvest countless precious memories.
As the days passed, the paper mill's business became busier and busier. That day, I was sitting in my office reviewing documents when Director Chen hurriedly walked in.
"Erniang, no, there is a problem with a batch of goods in our factory during transportation, and now the customer is urging tightly, what can I do?" Director Chen said anxiously.
I frowned and put down the document in my hand: "Let's go, let's go and find out the specific situation first." ”
After investigation, it turned out that the transportation company had made a mistake in the transportation process, resulting in damage to the goods. After discussing with Mr. Chen, I decided to personally go to the customer to apologize and promise to reissue the goods as soon as possible.
Our customers are satisfied with the way we handle it, but they also put forward higher requirements. They look to us to improve the quality of our products to meet their growing demand.
Back in the factory, I convened a meeting of all the workers and conveyed the customer's request. Everyone said that they must strive to improve product quality and make customers satisfied.
During that time, the atmosphere in the factory was particularly tense. Workers work overtime to study technology and improve processes. I also lead by example, personally participate in the production line, and overcome difficulties with everyone.
The hard work paid off, and our efforts paid off. The quality of our products has improved significantly and our customers are becoming more and more satisfied. Business in the factory is booming, and the workers' incomes are rising.
One day, Director Chen came to me and said, "Erniang, you see that the factory is developing so well now, we should all thank you." If it weren't for you, the factory wouldn't be where it is today. ”
I smiled: "Director Chen, this is the result of everyone's joint efforts. I just did my part. ”
Director Chen patted me on the shoulder: "Erniang, you are always so modest. I have an idea I want to discuss with you. ”
I looked at him suspiciously: "What thoughts?" ”
"I think our factory should carry out a public welfare activity to give back to the society. For example, sponsoring some poor students to help them complete their studies. Director Chen said.
I pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement: "That's a good idea, we really should do something for society." Then it is so decided, our factory carries out public welfare activities to support poor students. ”
Since then, our factory has started to sponsor poor students in the neighborhood. Seeing the smiles on the faces of the children because of our help was a great relief.
However, life is always full of surprises. One day, I received a phone call from Wang Mazi's wife.
"Director Li, it's not good, Wang Mazi ......" Before she finished speaking, she couldn't cry.
My heart tightened, and I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Wang Mazi?" ”
"He was in a car accident and is now in the hospital in serious condition." Wang Mazi's wife sobbed.
I immediately rushed to the hospital and saw Wang Mazi lying on the hospital bed. He was covered in scars all over his face and looked very weak.
I held his hand and whispered, "Wang Mazi, if you hold on, we will find a way to save you." ”
Wang Mazi opened his eyes slightly, glanced at me, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. At that moment, I seemed to see the gratitude in his heart.
In the following days, I mobilized all the workers in the factory to donate money for Wang Mazi. Everyone reached out to help him through this difficult time.
Under the care of everyone, Wang Mazi finally survived. On the day he was discharged from the hospital, the workers spontaneously went to pick him up. Looking at Wang Mazi's grateful eyes, I was filled with emotion in my heart.
Over the years, our factory has not only achieved certain economic benefits, but also gained a deep emotion. This emotion allows us to unite and move forward bravely in the face of difficulties. And all this made me more determined in my original choice.
The development of the paper mill is booming, which not only brings economic prosperity to the village, but also attracts foreign investment. One day, a businessman named Zhao Si came to me and offered to invest in our factory and expand the scale of production.
"Erniang, think about it, we can cooperate and develop together." Zhao Si said with confidence.
I hesitated, worried that he had another purpose, so I politely rejected his proposal: "Boss Zhao, our factory is developing very well now, and there is no need for investment for the time being." ”
Zhao Si saw that I was unmoved, so he left. However, it wasn't long before the plant's equipment suddenly malfunctioned, leading to a halt in production. Director Chen was in a hurry, and I was worried that this was Zhao Si's conspiracy.
"Erniang, do you think it's Zhao Si who is doing ghosts?" Director Chen asked me.
I frowned and pondered for a moment: "It's hard to say, but we can't sit still." Fix the equipment first, and then investigate slowly. ”
We brought in experts and after a lot of hard work, we finally repaired the equipment. In order to prevent similar incidents from happening again, I decided to strengthen security measures and keep workers on alert.
As the days passed, production in the factory gradually returned to normal. However, Zhao Si did not give up, he approached me again and offered to cooperate.
"Erniang, how did you think about it? Together, we can build a brighter future. Zhao Si said confidently.
My heart tightened, knowing that he wouldn't give up easily. For the sake of the stable development of the factory, I decided to agree to his proposal for the time being, but put forward one condition: "Boss Zhao, I can consider cooperation, but you have to solve the problem of equipment failure in our factory first." ”
Zhao Si hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement. He called in an expert, and after some inspection, it was found that the equipment failure was deliberately sabotage.
"Erniang, I have already found out that someone deliberately damaged the equipment. I promise you that this will not happen again. Zhao Si said sincerely.
I looked at him with mixed feelings. Although Zhao Si seemed sincere, I decided to remain vigilant. In the following days, the production in the factory was booming, and I gradually let down my guard against Zhao Si.
However, just when we thought everything was going in a good direction, an unexpected news came: Zhao Si was investigated by the police on suspicion of economic crimes.
"Erniang, do you think this is retribution?" Director Chen asked me.
I sighed: "Director Chen, life is like a play, we can only do our best." No matter what, we must stick to the right path and work for the welfare of the people in the village. ”
Since then, our factory has worked harder to develop, not only bringing more employment opportunities to the village, but also driving the development of surrounding industries. And I, too, have found my own value and mission in this land. Time has passed, and I have never regretted my choice. Because I know that here is my youth, and there is my hard work. And this perseverance has also allowed me to harvest countless precious memories.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the paper mill has been rooted in the village for decades. Over the years, the factory has not only provided a stable income for the villagers, but also driven the development of the surrounding economy. I watched all of this with a sense of accomplishment in my heart.
One day, I was sorting out documents in the office when Director Chen walked in. He looked at me and said, "Erniang, the business in the factory is getting better and better recently, shouldn't we think about the expansion?" ”
I put down the documents in my hand and looked at him: "Director Chen, this is a good idea. We have to seize this opportunity to take the factory to the next level. ”
We discussed it and decided to go and inspect the market first to see if there was any suitable land and equipment. After a lot of hard work, we finally found a suitable piece of land and purchased a batch of advanced equipment.
In the days that followed, we began to prepare for the expansion. Workers have thrown themselves into the new production line, and everyone is full of enthusiasm. Looking at the busy figures of the workers, my heart is full of anticipation.
However, at this time, an unexpected news came: Zhao Si was sentenced.
"Erniang, do you think this is the will of heaven?" Director Chen asked me.
I sighed: "Director Chen, life is like a play, we can only do our best." No matter what, we must stick to the right path and work for the welfare of the people in the village. ”
In the following days, the business of our factory is getting better and better, not only attracting more customers, but also winning a good reputation. Our products are exported to overseas and have become popular commodities in domestic and foreign markets.
However, with the development of the factory, we also encountered some new problems. For example, environmental issues. We realize that we must pursue economic benefits while taking into account environmental protection, leaving a green water and green mountains for future generations.
As a result, we started to improve our production processes and reduce pollution. At the same time, we also actively participate in public welfare activities to give back to the society. We subsidize poor students and help the elderly who are lonely and widowed, which has been well received by all walks of life.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, I have reached the age of retirement. Director Chen found me and said, "Erniang, you have paid so much for the factory, now is the time to take a break." ”
I smiled, looked at him and said, "Director Chen, I don't regret my choice. Because I know that here is my youth, and there is my hard work. And this perseverance has also allowed me to harvest countless precious memories. ”
I left the paper mill and started a new life. However, I still keep an eye on the development of the factory. Whenever I see the factory getting bigger and bigger, bringing more benefits to the villagers, I feel extremely gratified.
Time is like a song, life is like a dream. I have never regretted my choice, because I know that there is my youth and my hard work. And this perseverance has also allowed me to harvest countless precious memories.
