Chapter 304 I am the Chief Secretary and You are the Junior Secretary
Now we emphasize equality for all, and the steelmaking task is above all else. Anyone who hinders the steelmaking plan, even if the other person is one's parents or relatives, can be reported to the neighborhood committee.
Zhou Rong did not dare to disobey the organization's policy, so he could only call a meeting of several "rebellious sons" in his family.
"You brought all the washbasins to school and handed them in. Do you have to use bowls to wash your faces in the future? And the locks at home, you handed them in. How do you lock the door?"
Erwa pointed to a large wooden basin in the shower room and said, "You can also wash your face in the basin for washing your feet!"
Nini argued, “Many people handed in their locks. When I got home from school, I saw Dafen and Xiaofen put their locks into their schoolbags and pried off the lock buckles.
We are not the only family around here that doesn’t lock the door and won’t be visited by thieves at bad times. Also, many people come in and out of Uncle Jia’s house across the street every day. If a thief came to our house, they would definitely find it.”
Big Kid: "Mom, the school gave us a task and we have to complete it. Not only do we have to hand in the scrap metal, but we also have to go to the mountains to collect firewood."
Zhou Jiaguang: "Sister, we have no choice but to bring the basins from home. We haven't had much class these days. We have been around the steelmaking furnace all the time.
Dozens of steel furnaces were built on the school playground. Every day we either took turns pulling the bellows, helping to chop firewood, or putting iron tools into the steel furnaces.
The principal said that classes will resume as normal when the steelmaking task is completed.
Residents near the school donated all the ironware they could, but it was still far from the target assigned by the superiors, so the school could only let us go home and find a solution.”
Zhou Rong: "Does the task need to be handed in tomorrow, or can it be delayed for a few days?"
Big Kid: "The head teacher said that the sooner the better, and it cannot be completed before the weekend, otherwise we will be criticized and a note will be made in the file. Those who have handed in the task will be recorded, and those who have handed in the most will be praised by the whole school."
Erwa: "What our teacher said is similar to what my eldest brother's teacher said."
Zhou Rong: "Put the wash basins and iron locks back. I will collect the scrap metal and send it to your school tomorrow. I guarantee you will all be praised."
Zhou Jiaguang: "Really? Thank you, big sister!"
The children knew that Zhou Rong always kept her word. If she said she could get some scrap metal, then she would definitely do it, so they quickly put the washbasin and the iron lock back in place...
When everyone was collecting scrap iron, Zhou Rong secretly hid a few broken iron pots, iron chains, iron lumps, etc. into the space. The system quoted a price of 2100 yuan per ton for these scrap iron.
Zhou Rong copied half a ton early on just to complete the task.
The next day, Zhou Rong tied two baskets to the back seat of his bicycle. After wandering around for most of the day, he first carried the two baskets of scrap metal to the junior high school where Dawa and Zhou Jiaguang were studying.
The two of them were very happy looking at the basket full of scrap metal.
Big Baby: "Mom, you are so amazing, you are simply a god in my mind!"
Zhou Jiaguang: "Sister, your ability fully proves that 'there is nothing that cannot be done as long as you can think of it'. I admire you so much!"
Zhou Rong: "Stop flattering me and take the things over. I still have to get some scrap metal for Erwa and Nini."
Zhou Jiaguang asked quietly: "Sister, where did you get these scrap metals?"
Zhou Rong: "No comment, too much talk leads to mistakes, understand?"
Zhou Jiaguang: "I understand! If teachers and classmates ask me where the iron comes from, I will say that I smashed all the ironware in my home and asked neighbors to collect some to ensure our steelmaking task."
Zhou Rong: "You can explain it this way."
Zhou Rong also sent two baskets of scrap iron to Erwa and Nini. The two cheered. They didn't care where the iron came from, as long as they could complete the task.
As expected, the amount of scrap metal that the four handed in far exceeded that of other students, and they were praised by the school...
After completing the task for Da Wa and the others, Zhou Rong returned to the clothing store with two baskets of scrap metal.
Xu Man looked at the two full baskets of scrap iron and said happily, "You are the one who managed to get the scrap iron so quickly. How much did you pay per pound for this iron?"
Zhou Rong: "10 cents per pound."
Xu Man: "It's not expensive. I'll ask the finance department to give you the money later."
Zhou Rong: “Yeah.”
In the next two days, Zhou Rong transported several more baskets of scrap metal to the clothing store.
After the raw material problem was solved, Zhou Rong and his team completed the steelmaking task quickly.
To thank the ceramic shop for providing the venue, Zhou Rong gave them dozens of kilograms of scrap iron.
Zhou Rong's shop was the first to complete the task in the area, and the branch specially gave them a banner.
Upon learning that it was Zhou Rong who had worked hard to find the scrap metal, he gave her a certificate of merit.
Those who failed to complete their tasks or didn't know where to find scrap metal came to her every day to seek advice, and even reporters came to interview her.
Zhou Rong told everyone that she didn't have any special tricks, just remembering that the organization's mission was above everything else.
He followed the instructions of the top leader, did not set limits for himself, emancipated his mind, and carried forward the spirit of daring to think, speak and act. He first donated all the ironware that could be donated at home, and then went from street to street, collecting scrap iron from door to door.
After her report was published, Tan Shaojun smiled and signaled his secretary Wu Xiang to find Zhou Rong, intending to use this opportunity to promote her...
Wu Xiang found Zhou Rong, revealed his identity, and told her directly that Secretary Tan appreciated her abilities and wanted to transfer her to the commune as a secretary.
Zhou Rong asked with a smile: "Secretary Wu, are you going to be transferred?"
Wu Xiang: "...No, we will work together as secretaries for Secretary Tan. I will be the chief secretary and you will be the junior secretary. We will assist Secretary Tan in handling daily affairs."
Zhou Rong: "Secretary? Can you tell me about your specific job responsibilities? I don't drink, so I can't do jobs like accompanying people to drink and eat."
Wu Xiang: "You think too much. Secretary Tan is an upright person and will not let a female comrade like you attend social events. You just need to organize the documents and write the speech."
No pie will fall from the sky, only traps will fall.
Zhou Rong didn't think that she was just a small figure and could be valued by the leaders with just a few flattering words. There were many people who were better at speaking than her!
Zhou Rong didn't want to fall into unknown risks, so he asked tentatively, "Secretary Wu, are all the people who appear in the newspaper promoted to work in the commune?"
Wu Xiang: "Of course not! Secretary Tan said that your speech when you were named a 'Three Good Citizens' was particularly brilliant. He remembered you and had long wanted to transfer you to his side, but at that time all the positions in the office were full and there were no vacancies.
Last year, some cadres went to the countryside for training, and they have not yet met the criteria for returning to the city. Some positions are temporarily vacant, and you can take over for a while. "
Zhou Rong didn't want to do something he was unsure of, so he smiled and said, "I'm not very knowledgeable and I'm afraid I can't do this job well. I'll think about it."
Wu Xiang: "Okay, I need to report my work to Secretary Tan. Please reply to me within two days. If you have made a decision, please come to the Party Committee Office to find me."
Zhou Rong: "Okay, thank you Secretary Wu for making this trip."
