I remember the last time I met with Assistant Instructor Lin of Third Company was in August of 1974. At that time, he sent me to the Wuye Construction Corporation's Lin and Kong class. In this class, fortunately, I was not involved in the political vortex of rebellion and power struggle. Under the care of the team leader of the organization directly under the study class, I escaped this disaster. Instead, he got to know many of the organizers and leaders of the Material Department. It played an important role in supporting and assisting me as a materials planner. Instead, it improved my professional ability.
On the morning of May 1976, the factory party committee organized a meeting for the various departments of the learning organization. At the venue, I accidentally saw our Third Company's Assistant Instructor Lin. He saw me and raised his arm to me and waved. I nodded to him as a greeting.
After the meeting, I had a brief conversation with him. From what he said. He had just been transferred to the administrative department of the factory, temporarily acting as the old Red Army Chief Wang, who was about to retire. At this time, he kept telling me that we were old comrades. Since we were old comrades, we should support each other at work. The Administration Department's office is right next to our Materials Department. I also said to him politely,"Now that we are neighbors, we can come over and sing when we have time."”
Unexpectedly, he really came after a few days.
When he came in, he saw that I was the only one in the office of the Materials Department, so he put on a leader's posture and slowly walked over. He sat on Master Shang's rattan chair opposite me, holding about four or five pages of draft paper in his hand. He solemnly handed it to me and asked me to hurry up and get it done for him immediately. I took it and browsed through it. There was a list of office supplies and low-value consumables. He also told me that he wanted me to get it done within a week.
I was also a little unhappy at that time. I can only accept the work arrangements of my old Section Chief and Master Shang. Then, what right does Deputy Instructor Lin have to assign me the purchasing task of the Administrative Division as the Acting Chief of the Administrative Division? I immediately stood up and returned the few pages to Assistant Instructor Lin. She told him straightforwardly," I'm sorry. According to the work flow of the factory department, your administrative department needs to purchase office supplies. There are specialized buyers in the administrative department. They will handle it. You don't need our materials department to do it on your behalf. Of course, we can exchange information about the price and the location of the purchase.”
When Assistant Instructor Lin saw me say this, he was also unhappy. He immediately stood up and actually ordered me loudly with the airs of a leader,"You are in charge of the materials planning in the materials department. You have to manage all the materials in the factory. I'll ask you to do it now. Order you to do it. If anything happens, you'll be responsible."
As soon as I heard him say this, I suddenly felt an inexplicable anger in my heart. I looked at Assistant Instructor Lin in front of me and a thought appeared in my mind: In the years I worked in the model room of Third Company, all the tricks he used to deceive me kept appearing in my mind. That was all in the past. Let the past be the past. It had been more than two years, but he was still the same as before. He had not changed at all. It was really easy to change a mountain, but it was difficult to change one's nature. He had yet to figure out his own work flow. He ran over to give me instructions.
I didn't stand on ceremony with him. I said to him loudly,"Your administrative department has its own purchasing staff. You're the acting section chief of the administrative department. You're just an agent. You can't be considered an official section chief. As the administrative section chief, you have no right to direct and arrange my work.”
Just like that, the two of us quarreled in the office. This quarrel was not a big deal, but it alarmed everyone in the office on the first floor of the factory. Everyone came to our office and persuaded us nicely, hoping that we would stop quarreling. Secretary Liu of the Party Committee also came. He stood at the door of the materials department office and said very seriously," Alright, both of you, come to my office immediately."”
Deputy Instructor Lin and I walked up to the second floor one after another and arrived at Secretary Liu's office.
"Sure," said Secretary Liu unhappily. They all had the ability. Let's see who spoke first and why they were arguing.”
I suppressed my anger and tried my best to calmly describe what had just happened. Assistant Instructor Lin nodded and said,"Little Rock is right. I have no objections."
When Secretary Liu heard this, he began to criticize him." Shi Tou, you are indeed in the wrong about this matter. Elder Lin is older than you. No matter what, he used to be your leader. You should at least respect Elder Lin. Can't you just say it nicely? This argument of yours…It was satisfying, but the reason had also become unreasonable. Go, apologize to Elder Lin.”
I turned to Assistant Instructor Lin and shouted at him," Division Chief Lin, I'm sorry. My attitude was not good just now. I want to reflect on myself."”
Assistant Instructor Lin saw that I gave him a way out. He smiled and said," Just now, my attitude wasn't good either. I apologize to you." As he spoke, he took the initiative to come forward and hold my hand.
When Secretary Liu saw this, he changed the topic and said very seriously," Elder Lin, I'm afraid your problem is not as simple as Little Stone. You're the acting section chief of the materials department. Although you're only acting, you're still in charge. As the head of the department, you have to be familiar with the business. You can't be like in the past. The way you manage things in Third Company will definitely not work in the department. Being the head of a functional department, always speaking in layman's language and doing things outside, pretending to know what you don't know, and blindly commanding, no matter where you are, it definitely won't work. In the Administrative Division, if anything goes wrong, I'll hold you responsible.”At this moment, Assistant Instructor Lin lowered his head with a red face and repeatedly agreed.
I returned to the materials department office and started working. Suddenly, I felt someone behind me and gently patted my back. I turned around and saw that it was the old Red Army Chief Wang from the Administrative Section.
Section Chief Wang pulled me out of the office, found a quiet place, and sat down on a waste pre-cast concrete component. He looked at me and couldn't help but smile."I don't know what's going on in Elder Lin's head. The first thing he did when he stepped into the administrative department was to check my accounts. To tell you the truth, I've been through a hail of bullets. I'm not afraid of him checking the accounts. Anyway, everyone knows that I'm uncultured. I won't hide it from you. I can't do accounts at all. The various accounts of our Administrative Division are all done by whoever is in charge of what. Elder Lin's interference had messed up the original work system, and he had to personally manage the accounts. "I think his education level is not much better than mine. I didn't expect him to arrange for you to work for him. He should have thought about it. Why should the Chief of the Administrative Department arrange for people from the Materials Department to do things?”
Half a month later, I went to the administrative department to get a copy of the manuscript. I saw that the acting section chief's seat was empty and the desk was bare. There was nothing. "Your boss went out to work?"”
The comrade who gave me the draft slip stood in front of a file cabinet, unlocked it with both hands, and replied with an unfathomable smile on his face," I guess he might not come again.”
I was stunned." Maybe he's still angry with me. Is he so angry that he's sick? It can't be."
The comrade turned around and continued to smile at me."He didn't go to work, so it definitely has nothing to do with you. Some time ago, this acting section chief of Lin University wanted to personally manage the accounts and put all the account books in the department on his desk. In the end, the accounts were in a mess, so much so that he couldn't keep them anymore. He wanted to return the account books to the original managers, but the original managers were unwilling to take over the accounts. He really had no choice. He could only look for the factory manager and Secretary Liu to review and ask the leaders what to do. The factory manager and Secretary Liu saw that he had messed up the original account book of the Administration Department. He really couldn't understand it, so they simply dismissed him on the spot. He felt that it was not good for his face, so he took the initiative to apply for a transfer to another unit. It had been five days since he last came to work, and he probably wouldn't come back in the future.”
To be honest, I really pity Deputy Instructor Lin from the bottom of my heart. He had been working in the workshop for five years, but he had not learned any skills. A good time had been wasted. In the Third Company's forging workshop, with such good conditions, couldn't he learn some skills? He never learned. The incarnation of the self-righteous veteran party cadre appeared in front of the workshop staff. Today, he would do this, and tomorrow, he would do that. He did not discuss anything with anyone. When he criticized people at the workshop meeting, he never communicated with any other leaders in the workshop. The result would be that he would offend both the main leaders of the workshop and the grassroots of the workshop. There was no support from any of the parties.
In terms of skills, he didn't have any. Although he was nominally the assistant instructor of the workshop, he was just a substitute worker. I can't get promoted. The salary was not high either. At that time, he was a third-grade worker. It was said that he was a riveter in the first few years of his career. After working for a few years, he was selected to participate in the movement. As soon as the movement ended, he began to do political work. His skills were wasted. He couldn't get promoted. There were also old and young people in the family. His family's life was also very difficult.
After 1977, he heard an acquaintance mention Deputy Instructor Lin. He said that after he left the machine repair shop, he moved to Dukou City. Due to his limited working ability and his lack of a diploma, he was considered a substitute worker in the Wuye Machine Repair Factory and was not in the cadre establishment. He was no longer a cadre in his new unit, so he could only go back to his old job. It was not easy to work in a steel structure factory. He was almost fifty years old, but he could not understand the drawings, calculate the amount of materials, and did not dare to cut materials. In the team, his various skills could not keep up. He could only swing the sledgehammer, which also required physical strength. He was almost fifty years old, but his physical strength could not keep up. It was really difficult for him.
In the future, he would not be able to receive any news from Assistant Instructor Lin.
At the beginning of June 2076, our Wuye Machine Repair Factory is preparing to establish a 7.21 workers 'university. The factory documents have been distributed to all departments and workshops. We have mobilized all the young workers in the factory. We hope that everyone will sign up enthusiastically. I've already seen the documents in the materials department.
Please look at the next section,"Sign up for the 7.21 Worker's University."
