Ge Yafei is a student of Xiao Wenjun's supervisor in the past, who has worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the United States and is a machine tool expert. In order to take care of the needs of his parents, he returned to China last year, and originally wanted to find a teaching position in a university, but several well-known universities could not give him good enough treatment, and he looked down on ordinary universities.

After Tang Zifeng got the news from Xiao Wenjun, he personally recruited him and dug him to the Canglong Research Institute with an annual salary of 100,000 yuan and a 120-square-meter house, and is currently the head of the heavy-duty crankshaft machine tool project team. Tang Zifeng once listened to Sun Min, the director of the research institute, report to him, saying that Ge Yafei lived up to his reputation, had a deep understanding of heavy-duty crankshaft machine tools, and worked very hard, and the project he led was progressing very quickly, which made Kang Zhichao of the shipping company very satisfied.

Tang Zifeng returned to the capital this time, and originally planned to take some time to go to the Beijing branch of the Canglong Research Institute to have a look, especially to see the situation of Ge Yafei's project team. Who would have thought that without waiting for him to go to Ge Yafei, Ge Yafei first asked him through Xiao Wenjun.

"Lao Ge, is there anything important, can't you tell me on the phone?"

The next morning, in a small office in the capital branch of the Canglong Research Institute, Tang Zifeng asked Ge Yafei with a smile.

"Well, I'm afraid I can't tell you anything on the phone. Also, I was also worried about disturbing Director Tang's work, and it was inconvenient to call Director Tang rashly, so I asked Director Tang to come over at a convenient time through Senior Sister Xiao, so that I could report to you in person. Ge Yafei sat on the sofa and said with a little nervousness.

Tang Zifeng frowned and said, "Lao Ge, you are a returnee who came back from the United States, how can you learn to talk like these bureaucrats in China." You are Wen Jun's senior brother, even if you are my senior brother, you can just call me by my name, or call me a junior brother, how can you be a Tang factory director, this is a deliberate attempt to drive me out, isn't it?"

"No, no, I didn't mean that. Ge Yafei was a little embarrassed, he said sneeringly: "This is in the enterprise, you are my leader, I still have to respect the leader, or everyone should say that I am arrogant." ”

"Why, did anyone say that?" Tang Zifeng asked.

"Not really,...... At least no one said it to their faces. Ge Yafei said.

Tang Zifeng understood. No one said it to their faces, so naturally someone said it behind their backs. Ge Yafei is not a person who can speak well, he has been abroad for many years, and he has just returned to China to work, so he is probably not very good at human affairs. He has a postdoctoral brand at MIT, and he was hired by Tang Zifeng with a high salary, so it is inevitable that people will be jealous, and all kinds of small things behind his back are unavoidable.

Although Ge Yafei is not sociable, his IQ is sufficient. If others have an opinion about him, how can he not feel it. Once he found that he had become the object of other people's discussions, he had psychological pressure and became more introverted, which is why he would be extra respectful when he saw Tang Zifeng.

"Dr. Ge, you don't have to care about that. Tang Zifeng said, "The eyes of the masses are bright, how capable you are Dr. Ge, and how you behave, others can see it after all." You don't have to deliberately change yourself, you can just do things according to your true colors. The interpersonal relationship in the enterprise is complicated, but it is indeed quite complicated. But if you want to say simple, it is also very simple, as long as you have the ability, people will obey you.

"When the heavy axis machine tool is developed, I will give you a heavy award for the entire research group, and everyone will know that this is all the credit of your Dr. Ge. Without you, Dr. Ge, we wouldn't have gotten this fund. Do you think that when people get the bonus, they still care how you usually talk?"

"Director Tang is right, in fact, my father also told me the same. Alas, I have been patronizing and studying all these years, and there are many defects in dealing with people, so adjust it slowly. Ge Yafei said sincerely.

"Well, there's no hurry. Tang Zifeng said, "By the way, what did we talk about just now? Do you have something to tell me?"

"Yes, yes. Ge Yafei also came back to his senses, he asked Tang Zifeng to report to him, why did he crooked the building without paying attention.

"Director Tang, I invite you to come over because I have a very important matter to report to you. Last month, a manager of a Japanese-funded machine tool research institute contacted me through a classmate of mine and said that he would hire me to work in their company at a high salary. Ge Yafei said.

"Japanese-funded Machine Tool Research Institute?" Tang Zifeng was startled and subconsciously asked, "Why did they hire you?"

"The guy said they heard that I had some expertise in the design of heavy-duty crankshaft machines, and their institute was also developing this kind of machine, so they wanted to poach me," Ge said. ”

"Oh, I see. Tang Zifeng responded, and at the same time felt ashamed of his brain-dead problem just now. Isn't this nonsense, Ge Yafei is a talent, and if he is a talent, someone will dig him, and he will ask such a question. Actually, what he wanted to ask just now was not this, but another question.

"How did they know about you?" Tang Zifeng asked.

Ge Yafei shook his head: "I don't know about this, I guess there is an engineer in the research institute who said it." The person who came to poach me had also worked in a large state-owned machine tool factory earlier, and he had a wide range of contacts. ”

"Really, which factory, what is his name?" Tang Zifeng asked casually.

"It's from Changning Machine Tool Factory, and his name is He Ji'an. Ge Yafei said.

"He Ji'an, I'm sunny, why did this guy go to a Japanese-funded company again?" Tang Zifeng scolded directly. He hadn't dealt with He Ji'an directly, but he had heard Han Weichang say it many times. In Han Weichang's mouth, He Ji'an is an out-and-out technical hooligan with no discipline at all. Of course, Tang Zifeng also knew that Han Weichang's evaluation was a lot, simply put, it was a hooligan, after all, Han Weichang's discipline was often in arrears.

He Ji'an first entered Tang Zifeng's field of vision, he jumped out of Changning Machine Tool Factory and defected to the Korean-funded Dongyuan Machine Tool Factory, and under the guise of Korean-funded machine tools, he bragged about the customer and grabbed a lot of orders for Linyi machine. Later, by the squeeze of domestic machine tool companies such as Linyi machine, coupled with the blow of the Asian financial crisis, Dongyuan Machine Tool Factory declared bankruptcy, and He Ji'an fled to Pengcheng. Because he is not an important role, Lin Yiji did not specifically understand his whereabouts after arriving in Pengcheng, who knew that he actually joined a Japanese-funded machine tool research institute, which is intended to go on the road of compradors.

What surprised Tang Zifeng the most was that the bankruptcy of Dongyuan Machine Tool Factory was before the Spring Festival, and now it was only the end of February, and He Ji'an had already become a manager in a Japanese-funded company, and he came to pry the corner of the Canglong Research Institute with great momentum.

"What's the matter, Director Tang knows this He Ji'an?" Ge Yafei heard the meaning of Tang Zifeng's words and asked curiously.

Tang Zifeng nodded: "It's all in the machine tool circle, I've heard of his name." ”

"Oh. Ge Yafei answered, but didn't ask any more questions. Tang Zifeng directly burst into foul language when he heard He Ji'an's name just now, and the relationship between the two is obviously not so simple. However, Tang Zifeng didn't say it, and Ge Yafei didn't want to ask more, he just needed to know that Tang Zifeng was extremely uninterested in He Ji'an.

"What price did he offer you?" asked Tang Zifeng.

Ge Yafei said: "He didn't say the specific price, only said that according to my treatment in the Canglong Research Institute, it will be doubled." ”

"That's an annual salary of 200,000 yuan, plus a 240-square-meter house. Tang Zifeng sneered.

"I didn't tell him about the house. Ge Yafei timidly explained.

"Then what do you think?" Tang Zifeng asked again.

Ge Yafei straightened his chest and said, "I rejected him directly, leaving him no room for him." ”

Tang Zifeng deliberately asked, "Why? Didn't he promise to double his salary?"

Ge Yafei said: "Director Tang, I came to the Canglong Research Institute, it is indeed for the treatment of the Institute, especially the house arranged for me by the Institute, now my parents have come to the capital, life is very comfortable, I am very grateful to Director Tang for his love." ”

Tang Zifeng waved his hand: "Don't say that, this is what you deserve." You see, in fact, the treatment that Canglong gives you is too low, and Japanese companies can promise to double it for you with one mouth. ”

"You still have to be trustworthy. Ge Yafei said seriously, "Since I agreed to work at the Canglong Research Institute, I can't change my mind, and I'm sorry for you, Director Tang." Also, I also like the working environment and work content of the Canglong Research Institute, the chief engineer of the shipping company Kang told me that the entire shipbuilding industry in our country is now stuck on this heavy shaft machine tool, and I can participate in such an important work, which is the value of my life. ”

When he said this, Tang Zifeng had been observing his expression. Ge Yafei is not a person who is good at hypocrisy, Tang Zifeng can see that what he said is sincere. Of course, it doesn't mean that Ge Yafei is the kind of person with lofty ideals and strong will, he refused He Ji'an's solicitation, largely because the treatment given to him by the Canglong Research Institute was not thin, and the working environment was relatively pleasant, so he was not tempted. As for the value of life and the like, it is only after the basic needs of life have been met that there is time to think about it.

"So, did you call me over just to tell me about it?" Tang Zifeng asked.

Ge Yafei shook his head: "No. In fact, I have already rejected He Ji'an, whether this matter is reported to you or not, it doesn't matter much. I asked you to come here because I heard that He Ji'an did not just poach me, but found many engineers in the research institute, and almost all of them were very capable engineers. I didn't ask them, but I think he could offer me a double pay for other engineers, and they should do the same. ”
