When did he get to know such a young girl?
Although he was puzzled, the letter was indeed stamped with the seal of their factory.
Chen Huicheng said sincerely, "Okay, come to my office with me later."
The friend of Factory Director Chen saw that he still had something to do, so he found an excuse and left first.
Li Chuchu followed Chen Huicheng to the factory director's office.
Chen Junsheng was also called by his father to go with them. He stood beside the desk, straight as a pillar, looking at Li Chuchu with pleading and nervous eyes.
Please don't expose him!
Chen Huicheng sat in front of the desk, sizing up Li Chuchu with a solemn look.
"You're here to look for a job in the factory?"
"Yes."
"Have you been to school?"
"I've been to high school."
Factory Director Chen carefully examined Li Chuchu's face.
Li Chuchu felt a bit uncomfortable under his scrutiny, but her expression remained calm.
Chen Junsheng felt that the atmosphere seemed a bit off. He swallowed hard. Was his dad going to dismiss this young girl because he thought her education was too low?
Should he say that it was him who hit this young girl?
Although his dad would beat him up, maybe out of pity for this young girl, he would recruit her into the factory?
Chen Junsheng had a rich inner monologue and was almost moved by himself.
Suddenly, Factory Director Chen asked, "Do you know Sheng Lan? You look very much like her. What's your relation to her?"
Although it was a rhetorical question, his tone was very certain.
Li Chuchu nodded. "She's my mother. She sacrificed herself for the steel factory a few years ago."
"Screech—"
The sudden movement of the chair legs on the floor made a harsh noise.
Chen Huicheng suddenly stood up from his chair, his face full of shock. "You're Li Chuchu?"
Factory Director Chen still remembered her? That would make things easier.
A smile appeared on Li Chuchu's face. "Yes."
Factory Director Chen had been kind to their family before.
Since her mother was a worker in a technical position, the factory attached great importance to her. Otherwise, they wouldn't have allocated a unit house for her alone.
Chen Huicheng walked around the desk and carefully looked at Li Chuchu's face. His gaze changed from strict to kind. "I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, you've grown so tall. You seemed to only reach up to here a few years ago."
He said to Li Chuchu with a smile, "You used to call me Uncle Chen. When you were little, you even fought with Junsheng for candy. Do you remember?"
Shock was almost written all over Chen Junsheng's face.
No way, the relative you mentioned is my dad?
This young girl is actually the daughter of Aunt Sheng Lan?
Aunt Sheng Lan's heroic photo is still hanging in the factory. If it weren't for her back then, the mechanical facilities worth more than a hundred thousand in the factory would have been destroyed.
Lianhua Steel Factory might not even have survived until now.
With such a strong connection, why would she worry about not finding a job? Even if she couldn't do anything, just by having the name of Sheng Lan's daughter, the factory would treat her like a mascot.
As Chen Huicheng stepped forward, he noticed that Li Chuchu still had a bandage on her leg. He frowned slightly. "Where did you get this injury? How did it get so serious?"
Chen Junsheng's heart skipped a beat. He stared fixedly at Li Chuchu, feeling more nervous than riding a roller coaster.
Li Chuchu looked down at her calf. "I accidentally got it on my way here. Thanks to Comrade Chen for giving me a ride on his bike."
Chen Huicheng raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Chen Junsheng. "Is he that kind - hearted?"
Sister, you're my hero!
Chen Junsheng was greatly touched in his heart and almost wanted to marry Li Chuchu on the spot.
He looked at Li Chuchu with a more affectionate look than he looked at his own mother.
Li Chuchu: Don't worry. Since I've already taken the hush - money, you can trust me to handle things.
Chen Huicheng put his hands behind his back. "Well, our factory is just short of a broadcaster. You can do this job. The job is quite relaxing, and you'll get a monthly salary of sixty yuan."
Li Chuchu nodded obediently. "Thank you, Uncle Chen. I'll definitely work hard."
Chen Huicheng said, "Okay, go to the broadcast room today to get familiar with the work. You'll start work officially tomorrow." Arranging Sheng Lan's daughter properly was also a way for the factory to give an account of Sheng Lan.
After they walked out of the office,
Chen Junsheng was extremely excited. If it weren't for the rule that men and women should avoid physical contact, he would have hugged Li Chuchu.
"I didn't expect you to be so loyal. I've decided to make friends with you! How about I treat you to dinner?"
The young master had a changeable temper.
Li Chuchu waved her hand with a smile. "No need. Just be more careful when you ride your bike in the future."
Chen Junsheng felt quite regretful. However, he also knew something about Aunt Sheng Lan's family situation. He knew that the job was very important to Li Chuchu, and she still had things to do today. He could only find an opportunity to treat her to dinner next time.
Li Chuchu walked up the steps. The broadcast room was on the left - hand side.
In the broadcast room, a young female broadcaster was on the air. Her side profile looked very beautiful, with a straight nose and heroic eyebrows and eyes. She held the manuscript, and her calm and soothing voice poured out from the radio.
"... The sharpness of a sword comes from grinding, and strong steel and iron come from ourselves. Let's all shed our sweat on this land, cultivate a fragrant world of flowers and birds, and jointly move towards a beautiful future."
It had to be said that the slogans of this era were full of a positive feeling.
Now that she had successfully found her first job, Li Chuchu was even more looking forward to her life here.
The broadcaster turned off the microphone and looked at Li Chuchu.
"Comrade, what can I do for you?"
Li Chuchu quickly said, "I'm Li Chuchu. Factory Director Chen asked me to report to the broadcast room."
"Okay, come in. I'll show you around the work."
She smiled brightly and turned around to say to the person behind her, "Teacher Xie, there's a new person in our broadcast room. She's a pretty young girl."
Li Chuchu walked into the broadcast room and only then saw an old person sitting in the back. She was holding a cup of steaming tea, scrutinizing Li Chuchu with a sharp look. The wrinkles under her eyes were drawn together. She had a calm and strict demeanor.
Anyway, she didn't seem easy to talk to.
"Your name is Li Chuchu?"
Li Chuchu stood still and nodded. "Yes."
"This is your senior sister Mu Wan. Let her show you around the work in the broadcast room first."
After saying this, she lowered her head and started reading the newspaper again.
Li Chuchu nodded obediently.
She was new here and a novice in this field.
So she should talk less and do more.
Senior sister Mu Wan was very enthusiastic. She immediately introduced to Li Chuchu that there were four regular broadcasts in the factory every day, which were before the morning shift, at half - past ten in the morning, before the afternoon shift, and when the workers were about to get off work. If there were any commendations in the factory or any important national announcements, they needed to write manuscripts immediately and broadcast them.
Anyway, it was a job that was usually not busy, but could be extremely urgent when there was work.
Mu Wan: "By the way, have you ever broadcast on the radio before?"
Li Chuchu shook her head. "No."
"Okay, read this piece of paper out loud. Let's listen."
Mu Wan handed over a manuscript. Li Chuchu glanced at it. It was the same manuscript she had just read.
