In late November, the Donghai Provincial Chemical Design Institute officially implemented the new wage standard. Geng Zhiyuan, as an assistant engineer, received a basic salary of 1,000 yuan, tied for the first place with Wan Defu and Xu Yuanhang. Zeng Dayou and Yu Qinghe got 1,100 yuan, and Chen Ying and Liu Mei, who came earlier, got 1,200 yuan.

At the same time, President Mu Fanyu went through some operations and finally transferred the whole system of the Provincial Chemical Design Institute to Ningcheng Chemical Group. The Provincial Institute has become a central enterprise, Mu Fanyu is complacent and has received a big gift in vain, Ninghua Group has given him a reassurance, and will not adjust the management of the Provincial Institute within five years, nor will it interfere in the operation of the Provincial Institute.

Without the jurisdiction of the higher provincial department, Ninghua Group did not take over the human rights and financial rights of the provincial institute, and the provincial chemical industry institute was like an eagle out of the cage, flapping its wings and flying high for a while, and large and small projects sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Since he is the master of the house, Mu Fanyu boldly increased the bonus ratio significantly, and the income level of employees soared like a rocket. In the past, when completing a large section, the designer could only get a bonus of four or five thousand yuan at most, but now he can get at least more than 10,000 yuan after completing a section.

With the increase in the proportion of bonuses, the provincial hospital is full of energy, and there is a rare lively scene of everyone working overtime. After nightfall, the provincial building is brightly lit, and seventy or eighty percent of the designers are still in full swing to catch up with the progress. The logistics department also wasted no time in providing a sumptuous free supper so that they could get a piece of the pie from the unprecedented boom.

Geng Zhiyuan followed his teacher Xia Su to undertake three or four projects at the same time, and did three or four sections in the projects that Lin Yin and Wang Ping were responsible for, and suddenly gathered six or seven projects such as synthetic ammonia, urea, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, methanol, and fine chemicals, plus the stress analysis of almost all projects, which made him very busy.

As a second-level unit under the Provincial Department of Chemical Industry, the Provincial Institute of Chemical Industry has limited its staffing, and the total number of people in the hospital has been hovering below 200. In recent years, except for Geng Zhiyuan's batch of 12 students recruited in '97, there were very few new recruits in the rest of the years, and not even a single student was recruited this year.

Now that there are many projects, the shortcomings of insufficient manpower are undoubtedly revealed, Mu Fanyu can only urge the personnel department to recruit professionals as soon as possible to temporarily alleviate the contradiction in employment, and the number of graduate recruitment places next year will also be greatly increased.

However, far from water cannot quench the thirst of the near, and the end of the year is not the season for job hopping, and the talent market will not be able to recruit enough required professionals for a while. In desperation, Mu Fanyu had no choice but to find another way and seconded more than a dozen professional designers from the Ningxi Chemical Design Institute to help.

Ningxi Chemical Design Institute is a Class B small courtyard, the whole staff of the institute is only about 40 people, mainly contracting small renovation projects, the project small fees are naturally low, the income level of the staff of the institute can be imagined.

After the seconded professional designers came to the provincial capital and entered the provincial institute, saw the office environment and equipment level of the provincial institute, and learned about the generous remuneration and treatment of the provincial institute, they couldn't help but feel a personal move, and wanted to show their technical level, and strive to impress the provincial institute to stay.

It's just that most of the engineering design uses mature and reliable technology, which has remained unchanged for almost ten years or even decades, and if you don't understand the technical mysteries and make some so-called technical improvements, not only will not bring the expected results, but will lead to unpredictable consequences.

Unfortunately, the Ningxi Chemical Design Institute has been working on small projects, so the design process is relatively simple, which leads to the designers to develop the habit of freewheeling design, coupled with the eagerness to express themselves, which eventually brings big trouble to the provincial institute.

One day in mid-December, Chen Jian suddenly called and asked Geng Zhiyuan to dinner. After Chen Jian resigned, he found an errand as a workshop director at a medium-sized fertilizer factory near Ningcheng, and Geng Zhiyuan invited him to dinner once after returning from Jingzhou, so it is speculated that he was inviting him back this time.

Su Qing still had classes in the evening, so Geng Zhiyuan called Shang Lu Yi to go to the banquet together, after all, she was also from Haibin County, and she could be called a fellow countryman with Jian Chen.

The place where Jian Chen invited guests was in a mid-grade Huaiyang restaurant in the west of the city, and when Geng Zhiyuan arrived, Jian Chen had already been waiting for a long time. In addition to Chen Jian in the room, there were two middle-aged men and women who didn't know each other, and the other person turned out to be Zhang Shulin, who he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Oh, Mr. Zhang, you're a rare guest!" Geng Zhiyuan held Zhang Shulin's hand tightly and said excitedly.

Zhang Shulin was forced to retreat from the factory and had nothing to do at home, describing his complexion as much worse than in previous years, and obviously aging a lot.

Lao Zhang reluctantly smiled: "Xiao Geng, I heard that you have become a big boss, and we useless old guys want to join you for an errand." ”

Jian Chen's eyelids jumped when he listened, he originally wanted to drink three rounds of dishes and five flavors, and then beg Geng Zhiyuan to help settle the three old guys in front of him under the guise of old love, but he didn't expect that Lao Zhang, who was straight, would be thorough as soon as he met, in case Geng Zhiyuan rejected him on the spot, there would be no way to make up for it later.

"Oh?" Geng Zhiyuan was also stunned, before coming, Jian Chen did not mention that Lao Zhang and they were coming, let alone revealing any news about the need for help, so it was inevitable that he would be secretly surprised after hearing Lao Zhang's words.

"Come, sit down first!" Chen Jian saw that Geng Zhiyuan had a difficult face, for fear that he would open his mouth to refuse, so he hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhang, let Geng Gong sit down first, sit down and drink water and chat." ”

Several people sat down one after another, and Chen Jian dragged Geng Zhiyuan to the seat of the guest of honor. Geng Zhiyuan looked at Lao Zhang and the others looking at him with humble expressions, and secretly felt that it was not a taste.

"Who are these two ......?" Geng Zhiyuan asked, looking at the two middle-aged men and women he didn't know.

"Oh, look at my memory!" Jian Chen patted his head regretfully, and hurriedly introduced: "These two are old colleagues from the former fertilizer factory, this one is called Xing Jianwei, and the other is called Yu Xiumei, both of them are old financers. Didn't a large number of workers be laid off in the factory, and the two of them were also forced to lay off because of their age. ”

So far, the purpose of Jian Chen's invitation to dinner today, Geng Zhiyuan has already guessed eight or nine. After the establishment of Yuanyi Company, there was an extreme lack of trustworthy financial personnel, and Xing Jianwei and Yu Xiumei pointed to him to defect, so they would naturally be loyal and have no second thoughts. Lao Zhang has been engaged in technical management for many years, and his temperament and personality are not suitable for the service industry, so it is most suitable to go to Chuyan Company to partner with Liu Jun in technical production.

After thinking about everyone's way out, he pondered for a while and said: "Director Chen, Mr. Zhang, as well as Master Xing and Master Yu, I have a different relationship with Director Chen and Mr. Zhang, and I have a very good relationship with our factory. ”

Hearing him say this, Zhang Shulin, Xing Jianwei and Yu Xiumei pricked up their ears and listened to him with a sneer.

Geng Zhiyuan continued: "Since you have found me, although my ability is limited, I will do my best to arrange for you, so that you can have a satisfactory result, everyone should relax your heart." ”

Zhang Shulin clapped his hands and said: "I just said that I still have a lot of feelings, and I haven't forgotten us old guys." Okay, I'll sell you this old bone in the future. ”

"Mr. Zhang, your bones are expensive, I can't afford it. Geng Zhiyuan took the opportunity to joke.

Everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere suddenly eased a lot. Lao Zhang and others have settled their work, and their expressions are much more natural at the same time. Everyone accompanied Geng Zhiyuan to drink and chat, and did not disperse until they had fun.

On the way back, Lu Yi couldn't help but ask, "Zhiyuan, where are you going to arrange those two finances?"

Geng Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Go to you, I want them to manage the finances of Yuanyi Company." ”

Originally, Lu Yi planned to find a few classmates and relatives who studied finance and accounting to take charge of the company's finances, but she didn't expect Geng Zhiyuan to have other plans, she had the heart to object, but she opened her mouth but didn't say anything.

"What, do you have an opinion?" Geng Zhiyuan noticed her abnormality and asked.

Lu Yi hurriedly said: "No...... I'm okay with that. I mainly don't know them, I'm afraid they won't be able to do it. ”

Geng Zhiyuan smiled faintly: "They can do such a big fertilizer plant, and our company is not big, how can it not work? If it really doesn't work, you tell me again, okay?"

Geng Zhiyuan, as the only shareholder of the company and her leader to the business world, said that when it came to this, Lu Yi would be confused and object, and immediately said: "Okay, no problem." ”

Lu Yi's mind Geng Zhiyuan had already guessed a little, everyone likes to use their own people after they have a certain amount of power, after all, their own people have one heart, and they are easy and reliable to use. But if the company is allowed to develop according to Lu Yi's ideas, the two of them will have conflicts sooner or later, whether it is in money, employment, or the development of the company.

Geng Zhiyuan didn't want to spoil his relationship with Lu Yi because of cooperation, and lose this right-hand man who had shared hardships, and he had to do everything possible to avoid such a tragedy. And the best solution is to decentralize power and supervision, so that Lu Yi can have scruples about doing things, so that she will not be tricked into doing some stupid things that hurt feelings.

He is already ready to let Chen Feng be the deputy general manager of Yuanyi Company, plus the two internal lines of the financial department, in case Lu Yi has any abnormal behavior, he can also detect it in time, strangle his bad signs in the cradle, and avoid the tragedy of tearing each other's faces.

When Su Qing returned home, she found her boyfriend sitting on the sofa and bowed his head in thought, and when he saw her coming in, he didn't react, so he had to shout: "Zhiyuan, I'm back!"

"Oh!" Geng Zhiyuan came back to his senses, hurriedly stood up and took his girlfriend's satchel, helped her take off her coat, and then carefully hung the clothes on the hanger.

"What were you thinking just now? I didn't even look at me when I came in?" Su Qing pouted and said unhappily.

"Think about things...... Geng Zhiyuan briefly said tonight's events, and Su Qing admired: "Zhiyuan, I really admire you." ”

"What do you admire me? my little Qingqing!" Geng Zhiyuan hugged his girlfriend and sat on the sofa.

Su Qing pouted: "I said it, don't call me Xiao Qingqing, I don't like it if it's too numb." ”

"Okay, my Qingqing, say it quickly, what do you admire me?"

Su Qing stared at him with a pair of eyes and said, "You said that you want to let both those who love you and those you love live happily ever after." ”

This sentence was a bit big, Geng Zhiyuan scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "How can I have such great ability? ”

"But didn't you do it tonight?" Su Qing praised: "Mr. Zhang, they came to you, naturally expecting you to help them solve their problems." And I would certainly admire that you did. ”

"Is it?...... for you to say that" Geng Zhiyuan grinned, and suddenly a thought popped up from the bottom of his heart: "If I had the current ability two years ago, would Wei Xiao still leave me?"

Will it?

Yes, or no?

Only God will know!
