Chapter 522 What is our business

"Is this the conditions for everyone?"

Feng Xiaochen asked nonsense. Yan Han asked him if he had an answer, but in fact he was just giving him the answer. Living in such an environment, who still has the heart to work hard. The main reason for the design of the ethylene device has not been completed for a long time is probably this.

"We are all engineers around 30 years old," Yan Han said. "The old employees in the yard, who are in their 40s, have basically moved into units. As for those senior and associate senior workers, the conditions are much better. Several deans and chief engineers live in large four-bedroom suites."

"This is also formed by history." Feng Xiaochen said. Old employees can live in unit rooms, and even four-bedroom apartments, while young employees live in a tube room for two families. There is actually a reason for such unfair arrangements. The housing in the unit was not very tight, and everyone had a place to live. Later, a large number of young employees were newly joined. The unit definitely could not let the old employees withdraw the house for young people to live in, so the new people could only squeeze into the tube building. It doesn't matter when they are single, two or even three people can tolerate it. But after all, young people get married. There is no new housing in the unit, so young people can only get married in the tube building, so the cold and cold situation is formed.

Yan Han said, "Assistant Feng, you don't know. If we live like this because there is no housing in the yard and there is nothing to say, who told us not to join a good unit? But last time your equipment company gave 10 million yuan, the yard started construction of two new buildings, and now it is about to be topped off. As soon as the yard's house division plan came out, our building was in a mess, and Zhou Ting and others shouted the slogan of strike."

"Strike? Why?" Feng Xiaochen asked.

Yan Han sneered, "Why else can you protest? You are the young people who work on weekdays. When we are allocating rooms, they say that our scores are not enough and cannot be included in the scope of the room. Everyone worked hard to do so much work, but in the end they didn't even have a room of their own. Who would be happy to do it?"

"I understand." Feng Xiaochen nodded. Each unit has the rules of seniority in its own houses, and young people will definitely suffer losses. However, the main force of drawing drawings is young people. If the enthusiasm of these young people cannot be mobilized, relying on the elderly alone will not work. The group of old engineers in their 50s have experience, but their physical strength is limited. Those in their 40s have experience and physical strength, but they are the heaviest family burdens, and they are both elderly and young, so it is difficult to concentrate on doing things. Young people in their 30s, such as the cold cold, are in good health and have no family burden yet, which is suitable for work. However, after a house allocation policy, it will directly dispel everyone's enthusiasm. No wonder Kang Haidong is helpless and can only play tricks in front of them.

"You are not happy to work, so what do you do usually?" Feng Xiaochen asked with interest.

"This is a lot." Yan Han said, "I'll count it for you. The first group was busy running and transferring, and wanted to transfer it to the company. Although the work in the company is a little harder, the housing will not be so tight. You see, Zhou Ting and I don't have children yet, so it doesn't matter if we live in the same room. Some people are about to add children and squeeze in a room with other colleagues, but it's not suitable, so they want to transfer it to the company."

"Yeah, this is a way out."

"The second round is ready to go abroad." Yan Han continued with his fingers, "Not many people who can go to the Petrochemical Design Institute are mediocre. I never thought about going abroad in the past, but now I can't live anymore, so I have to go abroad. In our building, whenever I buy a tape recorder at home, I just want to take the exam to go abroad. I just want to calculate it casually, and I have 30 or 40 people."

"Oh, this is the loss of talent."

Yan Han snorted and said, "The hospital doesn't care about the loss of talents. A master's degree from Pujiao University like me is quite awesome, but in the Petrochemical Institute, he doesn't even count as a slag. There are no other talents in the Petrochemical Institute, such as doctoral degree or master's degree, which is really not rare."

Feng Xiaochen said nothing. Units such as universities, research institutes, design institutes, etc. are all places where doctoral and master's degrees are crowded. It is not easy to want a genuine undergraduate student in other places, but in these places, doctoral and master's degrees are just animals that live in groups in the tube building.

"You continue talking." Feng Xiaochen said.

"The third group is busy making money outside. With money, you can at least go out to rent a farmer's house. Next to us is Wali Township. Every farmer in the village has a special house for rent. Each house costs 100 yuan a month. Many of our colleagues have moved out to live."

"Make money? What are you doing to make money?" Feng Xiaochen asked.

"That's too much." Yan Han said, "Some are substitute for schools next to you, ranging from 8 to 10 yuan per class; some simply go directly to others as tutors and tutor their children for high school entrance exams, college entrance exams, etc.; some can help others repair computers and make some money. However, the one who makes the most money is to go to the south to be a technical consultant for township enterprises, so that you can earn thousands of dollars at a time."

"Will you have to go out for many days when you go to township enterprises in the south?" Feng Xiaochen said.

Yan Han said, "Isn't it? It will take at least one week to go out. If you can't buy a sleeper ticket and go to a hard seat, you will suffer. It will take almost a week to recover after you come back."

"Wouldn't you not be able to work for two weeks?" Feng Xiaochen smiled bitterly. Without Yan Han's explanation, he could imagine what this situation was. It is quite easy to take leave in a public institution. At best, the salary of QQ leave is nothing compared to the income of 1,000 yuan a day. As for the fact that I can't get enough time after coming back, as long as I can go to the office, the leader has nothing to say. If you hold a drawing pen and hit you sleep for a day, you can be considered as having worked. But in this state, can you still expect them to make a big ethylene?

Just as he was saying this, he could only hear the sound of kicking and pedaling footsteps in the corridor, accompanied by some chatting sounds. This is the movement of everyone coming back from get off work. After a while, the door lock in the room clicked, and a young man wearing glasses pushed the door in. Yan Han quickly got up and introduced Feng Xiaochen: "Assistant Feng, this is my colleague Zhou Ting, who is from the pressure vessel design room, you..."

He originally wanted to say that the pressure vessels entrusted by Feng Xiaochen's company were the design room where Zhou Ting was responsible for the design, but Feng Xiaochen interrupted him and stood up and greeted Zhou Ting: "Hello, Zhou Gong, my surname is Feng, and I am Xiao Yan's friend. I passed by here today and came to visit Xiao Yan, but I didn't disturb you."

"No, welcome." Zhou Ting was a very enthusiastic person. While shook hands with Feng Xiaochen, he said: "Feng...uh, it's assistant Feng, I'm so embarrassed. Look at how messed up we are here..."

Feng Xiaochen waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zhou, don't listen to Xiao Yan bragging. I am our unit's logistics assistant. You should call me Xiao Feng."

"Yeah, okay, just call me Lao Zhou. I'm one year older than Xiao Yan. That's how he always calls me." Zhou Ting said with a smile.

The two of them exchanged a few greetings, and Zhou Ting signaled Feng Xiaochen to continue chatting with Yan Han, and he changed his clothes and started to prepare for cooking. While scooping rice into the pot of the rice cooker, he casually said to Yan Han: "Xiao Yan, you didn't go to the meeting just now, right? Lao Kang got angry again and was talking harshly."

"Is that so? What did he say again?" Yan Han asked, blinking at Feng Xiaochen. Feng Xiaochen understood that the old Kang Zhou Ting mentioned should be Kang Haidong he had just met. He didn't say anything, waiting for Yan Han to trap Zhou Ting's words.

Zhou Ting treated Feng Xiaochen as an irrelevant passerby. Seeing Yan Han ask him, he smiled and replied, "What else can it be? Isn't it just a matter of 600,000 tons of ethylene? I heard that someone from the Equipment Industry Company came here today and even gave an ultimatum to the hospital, saying that he would give an answer within three days. Lao Kang summoned several of our design rooms and said a lot of big and small principles."

"Did he talk about the oil battle again?" Yan Han asked. Kang Haidong had participated in the oil battle back then, but he was not the major battle when the Daqing Oilfield was developed in the late 1950s, but a small battle when the Victory Oilfield was developed in the 1970s. Although the scale of the battle was much smaller, this did not prevent him from showing off every few days, and tried to encourage young people today to be as dedicated as they were at that time.

"Isn't that just that?" Zhou Ting curled his lips contemptuously and said, "It's useless to just talk big all day long."

"What an ultimatum? Why do anyone dare to give you an ultimatum?" Feng Xiaochen interrupted.

Zhou Ting said: "Xiao Yan also knows about this. The country has handed over a major task to our design institute and agreed to complete it in one year. As a result, more than a year has passed. We haven't even finished one-third of it. When they are anxious, they come to give us an ultimatum."

"What happens if you can't finish it?" Feng Xiaochen asked as if he pretended to be curious.

Zhou Ting said: "What else can you do? If you can't finish it, it's up to you. It's up to us to coordinate with the leaders. What does it have to do with us?"

Feng Xiaochen said: "How come it's not your business? Can't you complete the task and the leader will not cause trouble for you?"

Zhou Ting sneered: "Why should they cause trouble for us? It would be good if we didn't ask for trouble for our leaders. You may not understand the situation of our design institute. Just look at where Xiao Yan and I live. We are both married and we still have to live in the same room. With such conditions, what qualifications do the leader have to cause trouble for us?"
