A new round of municipal construction was starting. Many delegations went to the West for a tour. The general feeling they got was one word, which was what the children used to say — Awesome!
A few of the buildings began to imitate the Western municipal buildings. Most of them had a row of large pillars in the front, very fancy windows, and a circular arched roof. People called it the "Baroque" style, and it looked very cultured.
Many people were too lazy to mention the Soviet Union. The Soviet style of architecture now looked very old-fashioned.
Workers were needed to do construction work. Therefore, a few roads had formed a medium-sized labor market. Many people were entering the city for the first time. They squatted on the ground cautiously, with wooden plaques for masons and bricklayers placed beside them. Dozens of people were quiet, and only stood up to talk to their employers when they called. There were very few scenes of fighting over a job.
Li He woke up early in the morning and needed to report to work.
He did not ride his motorcycle to school. Instead, he dropped it at Old Li's restaurant and walked to school.
The person who received Li He was Director Qiu from the HR office. His full name was Qiu Zhi. He was a middle-aged man who was slightly thin. He wore a white shirt, and his leather shoes were as shiny as his hair. His stubble was clean, and he looked very energetic.
He looked at Li He from top to bottom, and a subtle smile appeared on his serious face.
Director Qiu smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. We will be colleagues soon. If you have any requirements for your position, you can tell us."
Li He said, "Although I have been in school for four years, I am not very clear about the school's departments. I don't know what job I am more suitable for. I will follow the organization's arrangements."
These were all conventional words, and even Li He found them annoying.
Director Qiu was still smiling, and told Li He to listen to the notice. He then put the registration card into the drawer and continued to bury his head in the pile of documents.
Li He saw that the other party had no intention of paying attention to him, so he went straight to the staff dormitory.
Li He couldn't be bothered to take this overused show of strength to heart.
The staff dormitory was also in the family area, but the conditions were much worse. Most of the people living there were single.
He opened the door to the dormitory. There were two bunk beds, and Li He was the only one living there. It was very quiet.
"I knew it was you when I looked out the window." Li Ke sat on the bed and looked at the empty bed, "Where's your blanket? Where is the mat? What do you sleep at night? "
"When I left after graduation, I left it in their dormitory, but it was probably moldy, so I didn't want it anymore. I'll buy a new one when I go out." The weather was still a little hot, so it wasn't the season to use a quilt yet. He would buy a mattress and some toiletries when he went out. The quilt had been used for four years, so he really didn't want it anymore.
Li Ke was also very busy at the beginning of the school term. He didn't have time to chat with Li He, so he left after exchanging a few pleasantries.
Li He went out to buy all the things he needed and went to Lao Li's restaurant for lunch.
Every day, Li He would either sleep or read. When he had enough of the dormitory, he would go to the field to play table tennis.
He didn't have the habit of being humble, so he went to look for Director Qiu. Since he asked him to wait for the notice, he would wait for the notice.
Just like that, he waited for one day, two days, three days. As for how long he had to wait, Li He didn't care.
That was how the old fox dealt with the newcomers. When you were full of confidence and wanted to show off your skills, the old fox would let you sit on the bench. When you were discouraged, the old fox would suddenly take out a piece of pie and give you half a bite to let you taste the sweetness.
Zhang Shusheng pushed open the door to Li He's dormitory and said angrily, "You're really something, sleeping in the dormitory during the day. Since you're here, why didn't you report? It took me a long time to find you. "
Li He smiled bitterly and said, "Director Qiu told me to wait for the notice."
"Wait for the notice? Didn't you look at the Organization Department's bulletin board? They put up a notice for you yesterday! In the end, you're still sleeping. "Zhang Shusheng was even angrier.
Li He was even angrier. He was fooled on his first day at work. If he didn't take revenge, he wouldn't be a gentleman.
Li He said, "What do I do now?"
"What do you do? Follow me to the Physics Department."
Although the director of the Physics Department was only in his thirties, he looked very old. He had wrinkles all over his face and his face was dark. If he didn't say anything, people would think that he came from the fields. He looked at Li He and said, "We're all acquaintances. I know about your situation. Changing from a student to a teacher is a change in mentality. I hope you can adjust to it as soon as possible. Welcome to our team. "
Li He quickly stood up and said, "Thank you, Director Wu."
Director Wu said, "We still have a lot of old teachers here and not many young people. You can be considered as injecting new blood into our team."
Li He found the teacher's seat and collected some teaching materials and teacher's supplies. Then, he went to the Human Resources Department alone.
Director Qiu was still as amiable on the surface and didn't put on any airs.
With just a few words, he could make people's blood boil and fill them with unlimited hope for the future.
Li He immediately stood up and said, "No matter what position I'm assigned to, I will do my best and do my job well. I will contribute to the construction of socialism without any complaints or regrets!"
After Li He signed, Director Qiu stood up and extended his hand to Li He, "Welcome to our team."
Li He was nervous and knocked over a cup of water in front of him. The hot water immediately flowed onto Director Qiu's body and he immediately let out a scream.
Li He hurriedly took a blackboard eraser and wiped the water with his hand. "Sorry, I didn't notice."
Director Qiu said angrily, "Alright, hurry up and leave. Don't cause any more trouble."
Li He sneered as he walked out. Damn it, let's wait and see.
However, he still needed time to learn this kind of trick from Wang Hui and the others.
His methods were completely unpresentable.
There were a total of four physics teachers in the office, including Li He. The other two male teachers Li He was familiar with. Li He simply greeted them and encouraged him to work hard.
The other one was a girl who looked chubby and festive. She had never taught Li He's class before, so Li He knew very little about her.
The two male teachers in the office were scholars after all, so they didn't talk much. They knew that rumors were like ink. If they spilled it out, it would leave traces on their own moral foundation, so they rarely gossiped. They either went to class or buried themselves in the office to write lesson plans and read books.
But how could a woman's life be without gossip? A life without gossip was like the sky in July without stars, like the peach trees in April without flowers, like the reeds in October without beautiful butterflies.
How could the earth be overshadowed by it? Therefore, this old lady was unusually enthusiastic towards Li He. She hoped to train Li He into a gossip expert to relieve her boredom.
