After making the call, Ye Yaodong waited for news.
The political commissar also needs to handle and report on this, saying that once arrangements are made, he will be contacted in advance to determine the procedures to follow.
After making the call, he assumed he had completed his task and was just waiting for further instructions.
Anyway, he should be at the processing plant for about a week, at most going out to handle some things or busy with deliveries.
Even if he doesn't receive the call, someone else will receive a call to notify him.
Ye's father and Chen Baoxing, unusually, left a huge mess behind and went shopping happily, preparing things to go home the next day, not caring about Ye Yaodong's life or death.
Ye Yaodong wasn't one to suffer. After Chen Baoxing rested, he picked another cousin. Anyway, there were plenty of younger relatives around. As long as he could read and was relatively quick-witted, he would use him for now.
Young people are always a bit more useful than old guys.
He basically assigned the older guys to the boats, while the boats for receiving fresh seafood and delivering goods were mostly staffed by young people.
A bunch of them were all distant relatives, and the old man was reluctant to let his descendants suffer on the ship, so he was happy for them to stay in the rear.
So it's easy for him to pick another assistant; he can arrange one anytime. It's just that a newcomer is definitely not as easy to use as Chen Baoxing, so he has to start teaching from scratch, watching and learning along with him.
He can now stay at the factory and help out as well.
The next day, he had his newly chosen assistant, Wang Jiale, start arranging the delivery personnel to go home. He replaced them with a new batch, giving others a chance to go home and visit their families for a few days. He only needed to check the list to make sure there were no duplicates with the previous batch before he could make a decision.
It's just the beginning, so let's leave it at that for now and figure out how to arrange things properly later.
After the fresh seafood boat returned in the afternoon, they could arrange for the cargo to be loaded onto the ship. That night, his father took Lao Xiao and the others on their return journey, and Ye Yaodong also began his busy work.
Four days later, he received another call from the political commissar, who said that he would bring people over the next morning to take away the things he had reported a few days earlier, and that he could also learn about the situation of the veterans.
They've been working on this for about half a year now. This is the first time they've outsourced veterans to a small, individual factory like this. Now that the factory is on track and needs more veterans, they need to come and check on the situation and treatment of the previous batch of veterans. They need to check on them, come and show their concern and care. They can't just arrange it and then ignore them. If it turns out to be a shady little workshop, that would be a sin.
They also have to pay the price for their actions, and they can't just blindly trust Ye Yaodong. After all, he's not a real member of the organization, nor does he belong to a state-owned unit. Although it's a good thing, they still need to be careful in their judgment.
This trip was somewhat opportune. Before arranging for the next group of people, we came to investigate the situation of the previous group and collect feedback so that we could better report to the organization. This is also a way of being responsible to the soldiers who have served.
Ye Yaodong naturally welcomed the organization to send people to check and collect feedback, as he would feel more at ease after seeing it.
When he returned, he had already learned about the situation of the veterans staying at the processing plant. Everyone was adapting well, and the manager had given him instructions and would take good care of the disabled veterans. Everyone was getting along well, and he wasn't afraid of people coming over at all. On the contrary, he hoped that people would come over soon.
If he can get through this hurdle, the organization will have more trust in him, which will allow him to perform better and more smoothly. In return, Lin Guangyuan will be promoted more often and receive special attention.
After hanging up the phone, he informed the entire factory that military leaders would be coming the next day, and asked everyone to prepare in advance and to get their spirits up.
Ye Yaodong had met the political commissar once before, and compared to the others, he felt less awkward when they met again, and their conversation was relatively casual.
He also arranged for a veteran representative from the factory to accompany him, and selected a veteran from the fishing boat as a representative. Everyone accompanied the visiting leader, chatting and talking. This also allowed the visitors to learn about the situation of the veterans he had taken in over the past six months, thus preventing any awkward silences.
After everyone had been drinking tea for a while, the political commissar said with a smile, "Comrade Xiao Ye really knows how to get things done."
"Of course, the leaders would definitely like to know how everyone is doing and whether they are settling in. Today is just a convenient opportunity. After we finish touring the factory, we'll go to the dock. The fish and iron sheets that need to be transported are still on the ship. The fish need to be kept alive, so we haven't dared to move them."
“Okay, I’ve toured the factory, the dormitories, and the workshops. I see that everyone is doing a great job, and their morale is different. Everyone looks positive and motivated, which is great. On behalf of the organization, I would like to thank Comrade Xiao Ye for his help.”
"No, no, no, I should thank the organization for its trust and for giving me this opportunity. Without this connection, it wouldn't have been so easy for me to get land approval when I wanted to expand recently."
"As long as it's legal and compliant, the government now supports businesses in creating economic growth and contributing to the country's development..."
"Yes, that's great. I hope our motherland will prosper and flourish."
"Let's go, let's talk as we walk. First, let's go to the dock and get the fish for these researchers. They arrived a little later, but they've been here for quite a while now, and they must be getting impatient."
"Okay, then hurry up."
They arrived in green military vehicles, and he didn't need to make any arrangements. He just needed to get his own people into the vehicles, and he also got into the political commissar's car.
He also inquired about Lin Guangyuan.
"I couldn't get in touch with him for a while, and after waiting for more than half a month, I still didn't receive his call, so I took the liberty of calling the political commissar."
"They are on board ships for training and patrols at sea. They won't be able to dock so soon. They usually have to stay for several months before they can dock for other special training."
"Are this year's veterans discharged in the fall?"
"Yes, people will be repatriated to their places of origin one after another."
"A-Yuan said he wants to apply to stay in the army and then apply to be a volunteer soldier next year. That should be fine, right?"
"He's fine. He's already officially on board and is performing very well. Outstanding talents will be selected to stay. It's not easy to cultivate talent on a warship. Even if he wants to return to his hometown, we'll send people to do ideological work and try our best to persuade him to stay."
Ye Yaodong smiled and felt relieved.
"That's good. This child has wanted to be a navy man since he was little. A few years ago, when a lighthouse was being built in the waters off our village, a naval captain came to our village and gave him an old naval uniform. He cherished it like a treasure for several years and kept it by his pillow every day. He originally dropped out of school after graduating from elementary school because he didn't want to study anymore, but for this dream, he went back to junior high school after a year and finally got the opportunity."
"Not bad, he's a good lad with dreams and the ability to persevere."
"So many people fail in the process of pursuing their dreams. I hope he can have a smooth journey, fulfill his dream, and have no regrets in the future."
These words silenced the two veterans standing nearby, their expressions turning somewhat forlorn.
The political commissar also expressed his feelings, saying, "Yes, everyone dreams of being a hero. These outstanding talents are the hope of the motherland, and things will definitely get better and better. Comrade Lin Guangyuan has also made a contribution to the resettlement of demobilized soldiers. The organization will remember his merits, so don't worry."
"Hehe, I have nothing to worry about. It's our honor to be able to solve problems for the organization, and we appreciate the organization's trust."
The political commissar nodded, and Ye Yaodong steered the conversation to a lighter tone, talking about his recent trip to the deep sea.
He also has a talent for storytelling, and everyone listened with great interest.
Upon arriving at the dock, he instructed the workers to follow the researcher's instructions, while he himself told everyone the story of catching the frilled shark. He also took out the iron plate and told its story. He even had everyone carry out the tiger shark and place it on the deck for everyone to comment on.
The last tiger shark also met its fate of being taken away by the researchers.
Ye Yaodong wasn't short of this one fish; he kept it until now in the hopes that it might be taken away.
"The organization will thank you for your contributions, thank you, Comrade Ye Yaodong!" After the political commissar saluted, the others followed suit.
This startled him, and he hurriedly straightened up, flattened his palms, and placed them around his temples in return.
"No need, no need, you're too kind. This is what I should do, and it's our duty as fishermen to contribute."
"Hehe, now that the business is done, we'll be going."
"Are you leaving already? It's almost noon, why don't you grab some food before you go?"
"No, we have to rush back to report. We need to get the fish back while it's still alive."
"Alright then, I won't keep you from your business. I'll take better care of everyone next time I come."
Ye Yaodong smiled and saw them off to their car.
A crowd of onlookers gathered nearby, curiously watching a group of soldiers in military uniforms disembark from his boat and then politely bidding him farewell.
The car had barely started moving when people crowded around him, bombarding him with questions.
"Comrade, that must be a high-ranking naval officer, right? What's he doing here? And why is he carrying fish away?"
Ye Yaodong said a few words briefly, mentioning that they were old acquaintances and that his ship was full of retired soldiers.
Everyone's eyes immediately filled with awe, and they even stole glances at his ship's markings; some secretly memorized them.
Ye Yaodong was essentially providing himself with a form of security and identity protection, like insurance. When traveling, one's identity is determined by oneself.
You should know that there are a lot of veterans on his ship, which will reduce the probability of something going wrong. After all, the docks are indeed chaotic, and having a group of soldiers on board will make people feel that they are not to be trifled with.
Hiring a group of veterans to do the work was such a wise and clever decision.
With preferential treatment in resources, many policies can be implemented smoothly, and there are also guarantees for him, his fishing boats, and his factory.
It's just the beginning, and the people the military assigned to him in the early stages were definitely screened. It's hard to say what will happen in the future, but this is just the beginning stage for him. As long as they are reliable, we can talk about the future later.
P.S.: Oh no, after a few days of intense writing, I've slacked off again. Now it's hard to get into a writing mode again, and I'll be dragging it out until the wee hours of the morning. I'll finish what I haven't written tomorrow, at least 9000 words.
