Chapter 13 Experts take action ()

The big driver drove Santana into the construction committee compound, and when he lit the steering wheel, he stopped steadily by the flower bed. Then he rushed out of the car, trotted around the front of the car, and opened the door for Dong Xiaoqiang.

Lin Yuanfang looked behind and laughed. It was really a thing to do. In that era, because there were very few vehicles in the unit, mainly for the use of the unit leaders, these small car drivers drove for the leaders and hang out with the leaders all day long. Over time, the airs were raised. No one was bought except the leaders, and middle-level cadres such as the section chief in the unit could not help but command them. However, the office director was an exception among the middle-level cadres. Because the small car drivers in the unit were all the leaders of the office director and the immediate boss of the small car drivers, they were also just middle-level cadres. However, even the top-ranking drivers did not dare to put on airs in front of the office director. But the big driver in front of him was doing too much. Looking at his appearance, he simply treated Dong Xiaoqiang as the general manager of the water company to curry favor with him. This shows Dong Xiaoqiang's status and skills in the water company.

As soon as Dong Xiaoqiang stepped out of the car, the big driver asked diligently from behind: "Director Dong, when will I come to pick you up?"

Dong Xiaoqiang turned his head and asked Lin Yuanfang: "Yuanfang, how long do you need for us?"

"If it goes well, it will be enough for 10 or 20 minutes." Lin Yuanfang estimated for a moment and said, "It will not last more than an hour at most."

"Then I won't go back to the company, just wait here." The big driver immediately said obediently when he heard this.

"Okay, okay." Dong Xiaoqiang nodded and led Lin Yuanfang into it.

There are two office buildings in the Construction Committee compound, one is a new office building facing the street. It has only been built for two years and is luxurious and grand. The old two-story building located in the corner is an old office building of the Construction Committee. It was built in the 1950s. After the new office building was completed two years ago, most departments of the Construction Committee moved to the new office building. Except for part of the shabby building left for the archives office, the rest was used by the logistics department as a warehouse.

Lin Yuanfang followed Dong Xiaoqiang and the other two along the narrow and cramped stairs to the second floor, turned to the office of the director of the archives in the east. Seeing that the door was closed, he didn't knock on the door, so he pushed it open and walked in.

Zhu Dalong, director of the Archives of the Construction Committee, looks black and thin, wearing a pair of thick black-framed glasses, and his eyebrows are slightly drooping, which makes him look like an old accountant of a frown production team. At this time, he was holding a broken chess record and concentrating on the endgame on the table. Dong Xiaoqiang and Lin Yuanfang both walked in front of him, but he had not noticed it yet.

"Director Zhu, you're very hardworking!" Dong Xiaoqiang reached out and tapped the table twice.

"Ah, Director Dong, are you back so soon?" Zhu Dalong raised his head and greeted Dong Xiaoqiang, and saw Lin Yuanfang standing behind Dong Xiaoqiang again: "Oh, I said, Director Dong, you have a great face! You really invited Xiaolin over. Sit quickly." Lin Yuanfang often comes to the archives to check information, and is familiar with Zhu Dalong.

"Where do I have the mood to sit at this critical moment?" Dong Xiaoqiang waved his hand, "Director Zhu, let's go to the archives room to get things done first."

"Zhong, Zhong, no problem." Zhu Dalong said, "Let's go here." As he said, he put the chess record on the table, led Dong Xiaoqiang and Lin Yuanfang to the archives room, and asked Lin Yuanfang as he walked: "Xiaolin, have you remembered the water pipe information that Director Dong said?"

"I have a rough idea. Maybe the clues can be found in the files of Tianyang Optical Instruments Branch." Lin Yuanfang said.

"Tianyang Optical Instrument Branch? Isn't it? Don't say that those information is probably hidden in the files of Tianyang Optical Instrument Branch." Zhu Dalong slapped his thigh and said to Dong Xiaoqiang with a smile: "Old Dong, how about it? I'm right? I just said that you will definitely gain something when you go to Xiaolin!"

"Yes, yes, thank you very much for Director Zhu's recommendation. When this matter is finished, let's find a place to sit." Dong Xiaoqiang laughed, but he was muttering in his heart. If your subordinates had not mentioned that there was a "living file", I think you, Old Zhu, wouldn't have told me that there was a Lin Yuanfang in the Planning Bureau, right?

When we arrived at the archives room, several employees in the water company's office were still pursuing their heads in the pile of archives several meters high. Although it was almost Mid-Autumn Festival and it was the time when the autumn was clear and cool, these employees were all sweating profusely.

Let’s look at the four archivists under Zhu Dalong who came to help. One was holding the phone and chatting with someone on the other end, while the other three were gathering together, just spraying the air with a bag of melon seeds (Mingnan Tu language, meaning chatting.)

Dong Xiaoqiang shook his head secretly. It’s really a pain if the board doesn’t hit anyone. At the critical moment, it’s his subordinates who are willing to work hard. As for the soldiers like Zhu Dalong, they are just doing their best.

"Director Zhu." Seeing Zhu Dalong leading Dong Xiaoqiang and the others in, several archivists rushed up Guzi and stuffed Guzike into the drawer in a pack of newspapers. The person who was talking on the phone also hung up the phone with a wink.

"Look at what you guys look like? I sent you to help Director Dong work, not to let you spit out the air!" Zhu Dalong scolded with a cold face. In front of Dong Xiaoqiang, he had to act like he did.

"Yes, we have been helping to find it. Haven't we just stopped to rest for a while?" The archivists cried out with grievances, but their eyes were aimed at Lin Yuanfang beside Dong Xiaoqiang. Thank God, the "live file" finally appeared. I hope he will not let everyone down and can find that file quickly, so that everyone will no longer have to suffer such torture.

"Director Zhu, why are you angry?" Dong Xiaoqiang had to persuade him, "Comrades have worked hard for me these days, and you still have their temper. If anything happens in the future, how can I be embarrassed to ask my comrades to help me?"

Zhu Dalong looked angry and glared at several of his subordinates fiercely, saying, "For the sake of Director Dong's words for you, let's forget it this time. You will do this next time, let's see how I deal with you!"

"Thank you, Director Zhu, thank you, Director Dong." Several archivists showed a humbly admitting their mistakes.

At this time, several employees of the water company also stood up, and the leader shook his head at Dong Xiaoqiang with a bitter face and said, "Director Dong, we checked it again, but still couldn't find it."

"You must not find it. The direction is wrong. No matter how strong you use, it will be useless." Dong Xiaoqiang waved his hand and pointed at Lin Yuanfang and introduced: "This is Comrade Lin Yuanfang's 'live file' of the Planning Bureau. Take a look at how this big expert took action."
