Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0515 Director Liu patrols the streets
"Dad, the old house is gone, aren't we going back first?"
Nan Yi and his companions' car passed by the old villa on South Street. The car did not stop but continued to move forward.
"Miss Rachel, you are a distinguished foreign guest. How can we allow you to stay in a residential building? Of course you have to stay in a foreign-related hotel with better conditions and facilities."
"Although I'm wearing a dress..."
"Don't sing. This time, you have to highlight your foreign identity. Miss Rachel, welcome to Beijing."
Nan Ruoyin glanced out the window, sighed, and chanted: "Books bring back homesickness, and the desire to return home suddenly comes to mind. I left my homeland lightly, and my colorful clothes have been idle for eight years. Comrade Nan, take a look around, I want to find my childhood memories. Sigh, I was only three years old when I left, and now my temples are gray, it seems like a lifetime ago."
"You're so pretentious that I don't know how many stamps the immigration office has put in your passport."
"Humph, it's just one. I just renewed my passport."
Nan Yi stroked Nan Ruoyin's head and said, "Little girl, you are only nine years old. You have already changed your passport. I, your father, have only changed to my third one."
"Hehe, then I'm going to fly to a few more places and catch up with dad as soon as possible."
"What does it matter if I catch up with you? It only proves that you are just like me, wandering around everywhere." Nan Yi stroked Nan Ruoyin's head again and said, "There is a cocktail party at the Embassy of the Kingdom of Qin today. You can go and take a look around and show off your support for the Cox family."
"Oh, Dad, are you going?"
"No, we are not going. We are crossing the Yalu River with great vigor and vigor. You little imperialist bastard, get off the bus."
"Dad, you're just going to leave me here?" Nan Ruoyin said pitifully.
"You can have dinner at the hotel tonight. I'll pick you up at noon tomorrow and we'll go out and look for something new to eat."
"I'm not eating dinner. It's too expensive here. I'm going to eat at the cocktail party."
"Come on, we've already spent over $200 a day in a hotel, so we don't have to worry about a meal."
Nan Ruoyin opened the car door and got out. Holding the door, she looked at Nan Yi and said, "Spend when you should, save when you should. Isn't that what you said, Dad? I'm going in."
"Go ahead."
Only after watching Nan Ruoyin walk into the hotel did Nan Yi let the school beauty drive.
When I returned to the old house, Liu Zhen was already at home.
Although the units at that time only had one day off per day, the labor intensity was actually not very high.
Not to mention those workers who work in three shifts, other office workers usually go to work at 8 o'clock or 8:30, get off work at 11 o'clock at noon, go home to prepare meals, and eat at 12 o'clock. After eating, they can take a nap or go to department stores or grocery stores to buy what they need.
Around two o'clock in the afternoon, I went to the office on time to wait for the end of get off work.
As soon as we arrive at the office, we first ask each other what we had for lunch. If there is anything new and interesting, we can discuss it for half an hour. While discussing, we refill our teacups with water and have a leisurely cup of afternoon tea.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, they began to learn from each other the "spirit" in the newspapers and exchange the information they had in their hands, such as what happened to the son of the Wang family and the son-in-law of the Li family.
While exchanging information, some continued to comprehend the spirit of the newspaper, some played woolen yarn, and some took out chess manuals to play.
When it's half past four, it's time to rinse the teacups, relax if your stomach is full, and do it at work if you can.
Basically, they all show up at the office gate at 5 o'clock sharp, but some leave early, and they all have good reasons, such as going to pick up the buds of the motherland.
Generally, women get off work earlier than men because they have to pick up their children or rush home to do housework. Men, on the other hand, will deliberately work overtime at the company in order to avoid doing housework.
Although nominally it is a single day off, most units have political studies on Thursday afternoons, which means you can leave work early; on Saturday, if you have nothing to do, you can either not work in the afternoon or leave work three hours early.
Although the afternoon work hours are only three hours, leaving get off work three hours early and not working in the afternoon may seem the same, but they are actually different. Not working in the afternoon means leaving get off work at 11 o'clock, and the next work day is Monday morning; leaving get off work three hours early means you have to show up in the afternoon.
Liu Zhen's workplace is not so idle, but if there is nothing to do on Saturday, they can still leave work early.
Today is Saturday. When Liu Zhen came back, the clock had just struck half past three.
As soon as Nan Yi came back, he noticed that the pendulum of the clock was weak. He first rewound the clock, then took off the gauze covering the clock and wiped the entire clock with a wet cloth.
"Nan Yi, why don't we change to an electric clock, or one that doesn't need to be wound up? I always forget to wind up this broken clock."
"What's the point of not having to wind it up? Winding it up once every two weeks is such a ritual." Nan Yi wiped the pendulum clock, shook off the dust on the scarf, and put it back on. "I tell you, I plan to pass this pendulum clock down from generation to generation."
"Let's take a break. It's been at most twenty years. The parts inside will definitely age."
"What's there to be afraid of about aging? Let me tell you, just to protect this clock, I will go to France to buy the watch workshop that produces it in a few days." Nan Yi said as he walked over to Liu Zhen and sat down.
"Bad morals!"
Liu Zhen rolled her eyes at Nan Yi and continued to pick out old clothes in the basket.
"Let me ask you, are a hundred diapers enough?"
"It's almost time. I can still take my turn even if it rains. Don't worry about it. Just let me handle these things. It's not hot now. I'll go for a walk with you."
"Okay, then I'll leave this job to you. Where are we going?" Liu Zhen said as he put down the work in his hands.
"Just take a walk, walk as far as you can. If you get tired, take a car."
Nan Yi supported Liu Zhen and walked out of the door. The two walked on the street, walking slowly and continuing to chat.
"Our unit is discussing housing allocation."
“Not everyone has it, right?”
"How is that possible? They must deal with one group first, and then the others will follow slowly."
“How is length of service calculated?”
Nan Yi asked directly the most core question.
"The time you spend working can be calculated from the time you start working, and then the time you spend working in the company can be calculated a certain number of times. The exact number has not yet been determined."
Nan Yi did some calculations in his head and said, "Your length of service is not that long, at most it's only six years and four months, right?"
"It's okay if it's a little short. I have seniority in the unit. I have been a member of the unit since the first day the preparatory committee was established. Besides, I am already married. I have calculated that no matter from which aspect, I am eligible for the first batch of houses."
"Haha, don't ask for the house. Show some style and give your house to a comrade who needs it more."
"Nan Yi, aren't your words childish? Is this style so easy to promote? I am aloof and noble, and I know how to promote style. If I really do what you say, I will offend most of the people in the unit."
"Yes, yes, you are right. I am indeed childish."
Nan Yi quickly admitted his mistake. He just blurted out what he said without thinking it through.
It seems that he still needs to practice. He needs to go over every word he utters three times in his mind. Even if he is joking, he needs to consider it carefully.
"Squat down." Liu Zhen said to Nan Yi.
When Nan Yi bent his knees and lowered himself, Liu Zhen patted Nan Yi's shoulder in a very comfortable position and said earnestly: "Xiao Nan, personnel affairs are politics, it's not that simple , you still have to keep learning."
"Yes, yes, Deputy Director Liu taught me a lesson. I will definitely learn from you in the future. I read your summary report yesterday. The more I read it, the more interesting it became. The more I read it, the more I discovered my own shortcomings. Please give me a chance to stay by your side and listen to your teachings at all times."
"Yeah, not bad." Liu Zhen patted Nan Yi's butt. "I'll have to pat you again in the future. But, remember to remove the word 'deputy' next time."
Nan Yi raised his hand and slapped himself, "Look at my mouth, Chief Liu, please be magnanimous and forgive me this time. I will never do it again."
"Walking."
"only!"
"You little dog slave, you've elevated yourself to a higher position so quickly. Yesterday you were "啟", but today you've become "惟"?"
"You've already achieved enlightenment, so I have to be promoted too. Campus Belle, Director Liu is out for a walk, we need to keep a low profile, go ahead and tell those people standing on the street not to block Director Liu's way."
"Virtue."
Liu Zhen spat at Nan Yi, put his hands on his waist, and moved forward with heavy steps.
Nan Yi follows him like a shadow.
When the two walked to the side of Chengfu Road, they saw a tape stall facing the east gate of Peking University.
"Nan Yi, go over and see if there are any new songs."
"Okay."
Nan Yi helped Liu Zhen to the front of the tape stall. There were two people standing around the stall and business was a little slow.
I moved closer and saw that all the tapes on the stall were torn, with either a cut or a piece broken off on the left or right side.
"It's a pirated tape. This is new."
Nan Yi bent down and rummaged through the tape, and soon picked up a tape with the words "Hollywood Rose" printed on the sticker. Nan Yi was surprised because he had never heard of this band or singer.
After looking at the songs on the sticker, he saw "My Way, Your Way" and "Don't Cry". Nan Yi suddenly realized that these should be the predecessor of Guns N' Roses.
"Nan Yi, pick up the plate on your left so I can see it."
Just when Nan Yi was in a trance, Liu Zhen pointed at the tape on Nan Yi's left and said.
