Chapter 48 Chapter Twelve

What Li Renzhong said made the nerd flustered, and he slept on the single bed all night, tossing and turning, thinking wildly.He tried his best to find the image of that woman—Chen Shuzhen in his mind, he seemed to have seen it before, but he didn't seem to.There are two to three thousand workers and cadres in this general machinery factory. The factory buildings meander along the ravine and cover an area several kilometers long. Where can he find them?It never occurred to him that there were political activities against him behind his back, so he just stayed here.There was nothing to say all night, now let's go to the factory party committee called by Li Renzhong early the next morning.Four of the five party committee members came.When Deputy Factory Manager Wang heard that translation was being discussed again, his head ached: Why is it necessary to discuss over and over again what has already been decided?He excused that he was about to enter the fourth quarter and wanted to make a financial summary, so he didn't go to the conference room.

At the beginning, Li Renzhong explained the necessity of having a professional translator: Let Zhao Xinshu not only act as a translator, but also familiarize himself with the imported machines, which is of great benefit to the mechanization of mines. The factory cannot ignore the request. "I guarantee that Comrade Zhao Xinshu is fine!" He said impassionedly, "I have personally investigated: he has indeed lost a black cannon. This black cannon is nothing but a chess piece, a chess piece in chess! This is I saw it with my own eyes. I also think that our factory party committee doesn’t care enough about his life. This person, everyone knows, has worked hard in the mine for nearly 30 years, but he doesn’t even have a home. This... ...The comrades around him should also worry about him, give him some warmth..."

This intellectual was also a bit of a nerd, and he even talked about the issue of translation and the implementation of intellectual policies for about ten minutes. Later, he also realized that he had strayed from the topic, so he pulled back and said: "In short, I propose Let Zhao Xinshu go to work with Hans, let’s discuss it.” Secretary Wu presided over the meeting, and of course he had to listen to everyone’s opinions before making a conclusion. At this time, he sat at the head of the conference table without any expression on his face.Deputy factory director Zheng had long felt that Zhao Xinshu should be the translator, and it would be superfluous to borrow someone from a foreign unit.What is "black cannon" and not "black cannon"

of!He knows that even if Zhao Xinshu does bad things, he can't do big bad things. At most, he has some private property dealings with Hans. It's nothing more than exchanging Chinese antiques and foreign tape recorders. Good news for production.However, because this proposal was proposed by Li Renzhong, he stubbornly refused to express his support, leaning on the chair and looking out of the window for a while, and at the ceiling for a while. The venue was silent for a while, Zhou Shaowen sat up, put his hands on the conference table, coughed lightly, and said: "For Mr. Zhao, we really should care about him. In the past, we didn't care enough about him, tsk In the future... However, caring does not mean not clarifying the problem. It is to care about him, and to clarify the problem. So, Director Li, can you introduce the investigation process in detail?"

Zhou Shaowen has absolutely no malice.Neither Zhao Xinshu nor Feng Liangcai has any personal interest in being the translator.He just started from the things he was in charge of, and he must get to the bottom of everyone's problems. Li Renzhong originally narrated the process of the night interview with Zhao Xinshu, but omitted the introduction to him. "Hmm—" Zhou Shaowen frowned and thought for a while, then a strange smile appeared on his face. "Then, there are two issues worth studying here: first, chess can only be played by two people. When you went there, there was no one else in the house. Why did he want to play chess with a black cannon?" How about placing it in the most conspicuous place? Second, how much is a chess piece worth? Director Li said it was made of wood. I don’t know how to play chess, and I don’t understand that stuff, but I think a pair of wooden chess pieces is worth at most one piece. A lot of money; a chess piece, no matter whether it is black or red, is even less valuable, why would he spend several cents to send such a telegram? Huh?"

He opened his eyes wide and looked at everyone with a questioning smile, like a naive child, hoping that adults could answer these two questions for him.The three of them also looked at him in confusion, and even Deputy Director Zheng looked down from the ceiling.Li Renzhong blinked: These two questions have neither data nor information to check, so they are more difficult to answer than any technical questions.Yes, once a trivial matter in life is brought to a serious conference table for discussion, it itself has a seriousness and mystery invisibly, and it is difficult for anyone to understand - rationality cannot explain irrationality!

Everyone froze in their seats as they did at the first and second meetings discussing translation.In the end, it was Secretary Wu who came out to smooth things over. "Hey—I see, Lao Li, the installation of WC is almost finished, and there is no need to change the translation. Isn't that college student surnamed Feng still dealing with it to this day? If he replaces Mr. Zhao, he will It is also difficult to re-acquaint yourself with it. Isn't it? Ah, let's just forget it.As for Mr. Zhao, we really need to pay more attention to him in the future, mainly politically. Let’s see what happens to him in the future.Ah, is this the end of our meeting?Ah, what else do you think? "

Li Renzhong couldn't answer Zhou Shaowen's two questions, and he couldn't express any opinions.Deputy Factory Director Zheng and Zhou Shaowen had nothing to say. They cleared up the notebooks on the table, picked up their teacups, and walked out of the meeting room one after the other. "Old Li!" Secretary Wu stood up and closed the door, turned around and sat next to Li Renzhong, and said earnestly, "Be careful in everything! We would rather believe that there is such a problem than that there is nothing. In case If something goes wrong, whose responsibility is it? You dare to "guarantee that there is no problem" at the meeting, let me tell you, I have participated in the revolution for forty years, and I have never dared to say Such words. You are not like the past now... You also know how much resistance there is from the bureau to the factory in order to promote you as the factory director! Until now, there are still people in our party committee who are not convinced? Sigh You must not make a mistake! You made a mistake. It is not your fault alone. It is a discredit to our party’s policy of promoting the knowledge and professionalization of leading cadres! When the time comes, look, it’s hard to say Anyone who is obedient is... difficult! You will know in the future, it is not easy to be a leader! As for Mr. Zhao, I will say the same thing: don’t make it difficult for him. Simply let him know nothing and not participate. In this way If he really has no problems as you said, he won't feel bad..." Li Renzhong was full of enthusiasm half an hour ago, wanting to uphold justice for intellectuals, at least for Zhao Xinshu, and defend his grievances, but in In front of Zhou Shaowen, a skeptic determined by his profession, the blood in his heart suddenly dropped to freezing point. After listening to Secretary Wu's kind teachings, he did not warm up, but felt even more trembling.He sat dejectedly on the leather chair and said nothing.Secretary Wu looked at his face and patted him on the shoulder to express his comfort.Secretary Wu thought to himself at this moment: "Oh! It's really difficult! You see, I still have to do ideological work for the factory manager!"
