Chapter 73: Inside and Outside
"Lu Yao, what Ning Hao said may be a bit far, but your going to the builder's orchard to hoe grass this time is indeed an excellent opportunity to get close to the company's top management. You have just come out of your hometown, and you have not been exposed to many people and things, and you have even less perception of the real environment. We have traveled thousands of miles to a place where we are not familiar with life, and what we lack most is connections. To put it simply, if you don't even have a friend when you go out alone, you won't be able to move an inch. If you go to the orchard to hoe grass this time, as long as you perform well, you will definitely be able to get the attention of the construction staff. Whether it's for yourself, or for me and Ning Hao, it's a once-in-a-lifetime good thing.
The position of a construction worker in a large construction company is not too high, but the role is very large. He is the organizer and manager of the construction site and has a particularly close relationship with the relevant departments. Although the constructor is subordinate to the project manager, in many cases, the project manager has to listen to the opinions of the constructor, and it can be said that the constructor is the actual manager of a project. Just now in the boss's dormitory, he specifically mentioned to you that the construction worker is the nephew of the big boss of our head office, and he is a fellow villager from the same village. Do you understand what the boss meant?" asked Wu Jingsheng.
"My understanding is that the boss is reminding me to take the orchard hoeing work seriously, try to do the job well, and don't embarrass him. Lu Yao said.
"You only understand one of the meanings, and there is the other side that you don't understand, and it's the most important thing. After Wu Jingsheng finished whispering, he raised his hand and pointed to the intersection in front of the aisle, signaling Lu Yao and Ning Hao to go to the intersection to talk.
When they came to the middle of the intersection, Ning Hao asked impatiently, "Cousin, what does the most important thing you mean?"
"It was the boss who wanted to use the recommendation of Lu Yao to go to the orchard to hoe weeds, to show favor to the construction workers, and wanted to get closer to the relationship between him and the construction workers. Wu Jingsheng said.
"Aren't the two of them fellow villagers in the same village?How can they use Lu Yao to get closer to each other?," Ning Hao was a little confused.
"People change as their environment and status change. When the boss and the builder were still in their hometown, their status was similar, and the relationship between them was naturally easy to get along with. When they are away from home, as their identity and status change, so does their relationship. I worked on my boss's construction site for more than half a year, and I also witnessed the construction workers coming to the construction site to inspect the work. I found that the relationship between them did not seem so close, and even a little rusty. In the past, I thought that maybe they deliberately showed it at work, or maybe they had a better relationship in private.
But recently a small incident happened on the construction site, that is, we built hundreds of manholes on the airport road, and all of them passed the first acceptance. At the time of the second acceptance, the construction staff deliberately went down to four manholes to inspect and found that two manholes were unqualified. The day you arrived, you saw the two manholes I was reworking on. At that time, the constructor found that the cement we used was not the right number, and we should use 425 hard cement, while we used 325 soft cement. We built the two manholes at night, mainly to complete them within the acceptance time, so we added an all-night shift. It may be that the small workers are too tired, they did not pay much attention to the marking when loading the cement in the material warehouse, and the loading was wrong, and we did not pay attention to the mortar in the mine.
It stands to reason that this is not a big problem, and the boss also explained it to the construction staff. However, the construction staff did not give face to the boss at all, and also sent a biao on the spot, limiting us to complete the rework within three days, otherwise the entire project would not be accepted. From this incident, I can see that the relationship between the boss and the construction worker in private is not very good, at least not as well as the three of us.
You think, the boss is a contractor, and the identity of the construction worker is so special. The boss must want to make the relationship with the construction worker more lively. As long as the builder does not embarrass the boss, can check in advance in the construction, and can turn a blind eye to the small things, the pass rate of the project contracted by the boss will be improved, so that he can receive more and larger projects in the company and get more benefits. Wu Jingsheng said.
The reason why the boss introduced you to the construction worker was that he must have seen that you had a good character, that you were still from the countryside, and that you could bear hardships and stand hard work. As long as you go to the orchard and do a good job, the construction worker will naturally think of the boss's kindness to him. In the future construction and engineering contracting process, the construction staff will definitely help the boss speak. Ning Hao said.
"I understand what you are saying, and when I go to the orchard, I will do my best to do my job well. As for other things, they are not up to us, and I advise you not to think too much about them. Do your daily work seriously, and you'll be fine. Lu Yao said.
"Well! Lu Yao is right! We must first do our current work well, and let's talk about the future later. It's lights-out time in the dormitory, and it's time for us to go to bed. Let's go, let's go back and rest!" Wu Jingsheng finished speaking, and took the lead in turning around and walking towards the dormitory.
Lu Yao limped and just took two steps, Ning Hao immediately stepped forward, supported Lu Yao's left arm, and asked with a smile: "Dude, do you want to take a bath?" Now that there is no one in the shower room, I will go and get you two stools one high and one low to put in the shower room, you sit on the low stool, and then put the injured left foot on the high stool, and I will bathe you with a water hose." Tomorrow you have to go to see the construction worker, you can't go to see him in a stinky manner, you have to clean up a little bit and make a good impression on the construction worker. Ning Hao said.
"Look at what you said, it's like I'm going on a blind date tomorrow. I'm going to work in the orchard, why am I cleaning up so neatly? Besides, when the weather is so hot, who doesn't get up after a night's sleep? Although a construction worker is a manager, he is also a construction worker in a broad sense. When he walks to the construction site, he will sweat like us, and he will not be so particular. Lu Yao said with a smile.
"I'm going to criticize you if you talk like that! Can we compare ourselves with the construction worker? What kind of work do we do, what kind of work does he do? Every day, we either hold rocks or bricks, or carry cement and shovel mortar. The construction worker took a few drawings in his hand, put his hands behind his back, walked around the construction site, and immediately hid in the shade, or got into the car, beckoned out of the window, called those foremen and foremen, crackled and reprimanded, and then kicked the accelerator and drove away, leaving the aggrieved foreman and foreman standing in the scorching sun. Ning Hao shook his head and said.
