The night passed without incident.
Early the next morning, Lin Yu woke up and said, "System Brother, sign in!"
【Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the sign-in reward: Large Black Ten * 100, Large Animal Trap * 10】
Lin Yu's sleepiness vanished instantly.
"System Brother is generous!"
【Ding, considering the host is still in the newbie protection period, the sign-in reward will be boosted for seven days. After seven days, it will revert to normal.】
Lin Yu nodded. This was normal, otherwise, if he got these rewards every day, where would there be any motivation to strive?
After washing up and eating breakfast, Lin Father took Lin Yu out.
"Dad, let me ride and take you," Lin Yu said, looking at Lin Father pushing his old-fashioned bicycle.
Lin Father shook his head with a smile and said, "You want to ride and take your old man, fine."
"But it's only for today. When you were little, I was busy fighting wars and didn't send you to school. Today, I'm going to send my son to work."
"From now on, my son is a grown-up, a man who can support the family."
Lin Father mounted the bicycle, then turned to Lin Yu and shouted, "Son, get on!"
Lin Yu nodded with a smile, jumped onto the back seat, and said, "Dad, let's go, or we'll be late."
"Haha..." The father and son's joyful laughter echoed along the way.
At the guardhouse outside the steel mill, two guards with rifles on their backs saw Lin Father approaching and quickly saluted. "Chief Lin!"
Lin Father took out a cigarette and gave one to each guard. "Little Liu, Little Zhang, this is my third son. He graduated from technical school. He had some things to take care of, so he's coming to join the work today."
Lin Yu got off the bicycle and bowed to them. "I'm new here, I hope you two brothers will take care of me."
"Brother Lin, you're joking. We're all on the same team," Little Liu said with a chuckle.
Lin Father nodded with a smile. "Little Liu is right. We're all on the same team. You're in the procurement department, so you'll have to take care of our brothers in the security department."
Lin Father also mentioned Lin Yu's position in the procurement department.
In those days, resources were extremely scarce, but at the same time, every family had weddings and funerals.
Especially the young men in the security department, many of them were single.
If they wanted to get some extra fish and meat, they had to find ways. But in terms of purchasing supplies, who had wider connections than the people in the procurement department?
The two guards became even more courteous to Lin Yu after hearing Lin Father's words.
"Brother, if we have any weddings or funerals, you have to help us out."
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, brothers. If I don't help our brothers in the security department, even my dad wouldn't let me."
After a few more words, Lin Father took Lin Yu to the personnel department.
The head of the personnel department personally helped Lin Yu complete his onboarding procedures.
Then, Lin Father took Lin Yu to the director's office of the logistics department.
"Dad, does our factory lack meat?" Lin Yu asked in a low voice.
Lin Father was stunned, then looked at Lin Yu with a look of disbelief.
"Don't you spout nonsense. Where doesn't lack meat now? Our factory is still considered good. We can see meatloaf at least once a month."
Lin Yu glanced around and said, "I can get meat."
Lin Father's eyes widened. "Son, I'm telling you, don't mess around. You can't do illegal things. Our Lin family has a clean record. You can't engage in speculation!"
Seeing that his father was about to grab his belt, Lin Yu quickly explained. "What are you thinking, Dad? Do you think I'd engage in speculation?"
"I'm talking about hunting. This area has always been in the north of Yan, with many mountains and forests, wild animals are rampant, hunting some game shouldn't be a problem."
"Scram!" Lin Father scolded angrily. "Only you are smart? Everyone else can't think of this idea?"
"Do you think hunting is so easy? If you don't have the skills, even if you don't encounter wild animals in the mountains, getting lost is enough to kill you."
"Dad, have you forgotten what my master does?" Lin Yu quickly reminded him.
Lin Father's eyes lit up. "Your master is indeed a capable person, but how much of his skills have you learned?"
When Lin Yu was in technical school, he practiced martial arts with an old man from the school.
Later, Lin Father found out that the old man was from the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces before liberation.
He once single-handedly killed a brown bear in the old forest of Northeast China.
The black bears in Northeast China were much bigger than the ones in the Yan Mountains.
As for other things, Lin Father didn't find out anything else. He only knew that the old man liked Lin Yu very much.
If it hadn't been for his second son's small mind in the past, Lin Father would have had the idea of keeping his son in the school to work.
"Don't worry about how much I've learned, it's enough for now," Lin Yu said. "Dad, let's dig a hole for Old Li later. You need to cooperate with me."
"Can you do it?" Lin Father asked doubtfully.
"Don't worry," Lin Yu said confidently.
"Knock, knock, knock"
"Come in!"
"Director Li," Lin Father knocked and got permission to enter, then took Lin Yu in.
"Old Lin, this is..." Li Huai De asked.
"Director Li," Lin Father said, "This is my second son. I brought him to join today. He will be working in the procurement department."
"Director Li, hello." Lin Yu stepped forward and greeted respectfully.
Li Huai De nodded with a smile. "Little Lin, you're indeed a handsome young man. Our factory lacks young people like you with high education, knowledge, and vision."
"Director Li, thank you for your praise," Lin Yu said sincerely. "As a newcomer, I still lack work experience. I'll need your guidance in the future. I will also stay focused and work hard to contribute to the revolution."
"Good, good..." Li Huai De said happily. "It's no wonder he's an intellectual, his awareness is high."
"Little Lin, you're just starting in the factory, your administrative level is set at level 26. According to the treatment of an 8th-level clerk, your monthly salary is 33 yuan. If there are no accidents, you will be promoted to a 7th-level clerk in three months."
Lin Yu nodded. A 7th-level clerk was the treatment for technical school graduates after probation.
Now, being a level 8 clerk was just right. It would prevent others from making trouble, and Lin Yu didn't care about the 4 yuan difference anyway.
"Director Li, does our factory need wild boar meat and wild game?" Lin Yu pretended to be confused. "A large amount."
Li Huai De instantly became interested. "Of course, we need it."
"Little Lin, as long as you can get it, whether it's wild game or domestic animals, if you get 300 catties, I'll give you a level promotion. If you can get 3000 catties of meat, I'll directly make you the deputy director of the procurement department."
Lin Yu smiled and asked, "Director Li, you also know that large-scale hunting requires permits."
"Hahaha, good boy, you're waiting for me here, huh!" Li Huai De laughed out loud.
"I'll give you a hunting permit. Do you need the factory to provide weapons?"
Lin Yu shook his head. "Director Li, no need for weapons. I'm not used to using different equipment."
Lin Yu knew that in this era, if they hunted with public weapons, the game belonged to the collective.
Lin Yu wouldn't do such a foolish thing.
Li Huai De nodded and smiled at Lin Father. "Old Lin, your son is no ordinary person."
He wasn't afraid of his subordinates having skills. The more capable his subordinates were, the more stable his leadership would be.
