Early the next morning, Xu Damao raided the cotton mill. With nothing to exchange, Xu Damao sent Wen Li home.

Xu Damao then summoned Da Niu, Liu Feng and Qing Sao to explain the future events in detail.

Especially Daniel and Liu Feng, they have all explained what they need to explain.

Xu Damao still advocated letting Lou Xiaoe go back to live with her parents, and then the couple would give some of the food at home to the old lady.

The other part stayed in the room at Lou Xiao'e's request, and the key was given to Qin Huairu.

As a reward for her help cleaning the room when the two of them are away from home.

The two talked for a long time that night, starting from bit by bit.

In the end, the project funding increased to several hundred million before the conversation ended.

The next morning, two cars came to the entrance of the courtyard, one of which came to pick up Xu Damao.

The other one was here to pick up Lou Xiao'e, after the merger of the steel plant.

The name of Lou Xiaoe's father appears on the name of the factory shareholder, so there is no need to hide anything now.

Lou Xiao'e suppressed her sleepiness and put Xu Damao into the car.

With the help of the nanny, I put on my clothes and took Xiao Hei to the car to go back to her parents' home.

Xu Damao was resting in the car with his eyes squinted, and the driver took him directly to the train station.

After arriving at the station, the driver helped Xu Damao carry a larger travel bag.

It is full of all kinds of things that my wife has stuffed in, including food, clothing, and everything else.

Xu Damao followed behind the driver, carrying his same cross-body bag all year round.

Although he had never taken a train in this era, he looked at the direction the driver was leading.

It was obviously a place with special care, and I was not waiting in the waiting hall with others.

Go directly to a nearby courtyard. There is a platform not far from the courtyard.

After following the driver inside, I found nearly thirty people inside.

Wouldn't it be possible for so many people to follow Director Wang out?

At this time, Factory Manager Wang came out and said, "Director Xu is here. Come and sit in the room for a while."

Xu Damao: "Director Wang, you should call me by my name. I am following your orders now."

"Haha, it's all the same, it's all the same."

Director Wang took Xu Damao and walked into the house, leaving only the people in the courtyard discussing who Xu Damao was from.

Xu Damao originally thought that there were many people in the yard and no one in the house. In fact, he was wrong.

There are about ten people in the room. After Director Wang introduced them, except for one of them who needs attention, the others can be temporarily treated as passers-by.

The person introduced by Director Wang is Section Chief Hou of the Railway Service Section of the Sijucheng Railway Bureau of the Railway Administration.

The National Railway Administration is the only high-ranking enterprise among central enterprises in the country and is directly under the management of the Supreme Commander's Office.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, six founding generals served as railway chiefs.

The Railway Department is like a complete small society, with all units and facilities available in each Railway Department.

Including police, procuratorate, law, hospitals, schools, shops, banks, etc.

It is a very large structural system, and the key is that it implements a semi-military management model.

This young man who has reached his current position is definitely not an ordinary person.

After Director Wang introduced everyone, he began to introduce Xu Damao: "This is Xu Damao, Director Xu, from the Inspectorate Office of our main factory."

"This time, he serves as our disciplinary inspector to prevent everyone from doing things that damage the image of our factory when they go out."

Factory Director Wang specially gave Xu Damao such a title to avoid some trouble.

Then he took Xu Damao and sat with everyone to chat.

It was only during the chat that I learned that Duan Chang Hou and Factory Director Wang were classmates, so I came to see him off in person.

Otherwise, this section chief Hou really looks down on someone as high as Factory Director Wang.

No matter how high-ranking a man is, there are only a few topics he can talk about, but during the chat, this Duan Zhang Hou discovered that something was wrong with his old classmate.

Even if the young man in the inspector's office is from the main factory, there is no need to praise him so highly.

Only when Xu Damao is involved, Factory Director Wang will give him three points.

At first, Duanchang Hou really didn't feel it. It was only after a long time that he realized something was wrong.

There is no way to ask this now, let’s talk about it later when we have time.

At this time, Xu Damao asked about something that he was not sure about.

"Director Hou wants to ask you something."

"you say."

Xu Damao took out a red notebook from his bag and said, "No one told me at the time whether I could take this in the car. I was really not sure."

"If it doesn't work, I'll find someone to send it back as soon as possible."

Duan Chang Hou took it and took a look, Ni Ma came to show off, right?

He did not believe that anyone who could obtain this certificate would not know its scope of use.

But seeing how Xu Damao really didn't know, I felt even more confused.

Then Duan Chang Hou gave Xu Damao a simple science popularization.

Factory Manager Wang was very curious as to what was going on with Xu Damao.

While everyone was chatting, a staff member from the railway bureau came over carrying a cardboard box.

Captain Hou: "Old Wang, once your tickets are here, you will find trouble for me and drive them all into a good carriage."

Factory Director Wang: "Didn't you raise your hand for this?"

Director Wang instructed their people to take over and start scattering the votes.

Xu Damao looked curiously at each of them holding four or five tickets. What does this mean?

When he received the tickets, he was completely speechless. Four or five tickets were all for the same person.

The first thing I saw was a passenger ticket and an expedited ticket.

Because it is a sleeper berth, there is also a sleeper berth ticket.

Xu Damao was a little confused when he saw that there was a bedding ticket inside.

Only after someone else explained it to Xu Damao did he know that now he had to buy an additional bedding ticket to cover the bedding on the sleeper berth.

The last one is the car number and the number slip for that seat.

The above are collectively called "cardboard tickets". Train tickets like this were used from the 1940s to the 1990s before they were completely eliminated.

In addition, the conductors at that time were also very tired, because each person had to buy four or five tickets. After air-conditioned buses became available, they would have to issue air-conditioned tickets.

Some tickets also need to be checked and then glued to the back.

So it takes at least three to five minutes to deal with a customer, which is not easy at all.

(Before 1996, when train tickets had not been completely overhauled.

If you have no acquaintances, it is best to buy tickets at the nearest time away from the car.

Because you bought it early and the data sheet has not been sent out, the conductor can only sell you a standing ticket.)

After experiencing the tediousness of train tickets in this era, Xu Damao was completely speechless.

People today would never imagine that a few years later a mobile phone would be everywhere.

As soon as we got the tickets, we thought it was not long before we boarded the bus, so everyone started packing their things.

Later, Captain Hou led everyone into the platform through the small door on the side.

He also took everyone to the front of the car and explained to the police and the conductor on the car before saying goodbye and leaving.

Xu Damao looked at the word "Chang'an" on the train. If he didn't reverse the train, it would be somewhere else.

The steward took these 30 or so people into their carriage.

The open carriage has no doors, and the sleepers are divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower, and the bed is very narrow, about 80 centimeters.

This is the best treatment so far. Everyone spreads out and finds their own beds.

Xu Damao, Director Wang and two other employees from the heavy industry machinery factory were in the same room.

The spare bed was filled with things after everyone settled down.

Director Wang: "Da Mao, our final stop this time is Chang'an."

"What we are going to this time is a new factory built with Russian help."

"Construction started in 1958 and was only completed last year."
