On the first day of Tao Tang's official appointment, Zhang Xingwu, director of the General Manager's Office, got up early in the morning and rushed to Xiaozhao.

According to Director Zhang Xingwu's estimate, the new Mr. Tao will definitely hold a team meeting today to listen to the work reports of the assistants. To do this, he had to make good arrangements in advance. In addition, Mr. Tao's office and secretary candidates should also be decided, and Mr. Tao's car should also be consulted to determine the arrangement as soon as possible.

According to the usual practice, the company must buy a new car for Mr. Tao. However, the purchase of official vehicles is subject to increasingly strict restrictions and must be approved by the headquarters. In addition, he didn't know Mr. Tao's personal preferences, so he decided to choose a car for Mr. Tao's exclusive use first...... In short, he has a lot of things to do today, all of which are about Mr. Tao. Isn't the main responsibility of the director of the General Manager's Office to serve the leaders, especially the main leaders?

But Xiao Ye, the "full-time" waiter he selected, reported that Mr. Tao had gone out twenty minutes ago, probably for a walk. Where she went, she didn't know, and she didn't dare ask.

Xiao Ye is recognized as the most beautiful waiter by Xiao Zhao, with bewitching facial features, a fiery figure and a diligent figure, and is very eye-catching. At the beginning, it was Mr. Song who accidentally found out and personally ordered to be transferred from the big move. Zhang Xingwu hastily did not have a more suitable candidate, so he arranged for Xiao Ye to be a full-time waiter in the suite where Mr. Tao lived, responsible for cleaning and washing clothes. Xiao Ye was very happy about this arrangement, and said that he would definitely live up to the trust of the director and serve the new boss well.

"Who came to see Mr. Tao last night?"

Xiao Ye hesitated, and reported truthfully, "Director Jia has been here, four or five...... Except for the director of the 3rd branch factory, I don't know the rest...... It seems that there are people from the organization department. ”

Xiao Ye worked as a temporary worker in the 3rd branch factory for two months, and was discovered by Jia Jianxin by chance and transferred to Dazhao as a waiter, so she knew Chen Jianping, the director of the 3rd branch.

"Wait, who's from the Organization Department? Is it tall, chubby, and somewhat bald? ”

"Yes. Later, Mr. Tao's family came over, and the man left......"

"Well, Mr. Tao didn't mention that he was missing anything, right?" Peng Jie, the head of the organization department, must have come to send the cadre roster, and Mr. Tao entered the state very quickly, Zhang Xingwu thought.

"Nope."

"Pay attention to the hygiene of Mr. Tao's room, as long as he is not there, tidy up at any time and keep it in the best condition."

"Yes, I remember."

Zhang Xingwu nodded to Xiao Ye, turned around and went downstairs.

After a small move, Zhang Xingwu pondered where Tao Tang would go for a walk. He could wait, but he still wanted to take the initiative to greet him. Xiaozhao is not far to the south is the square in front of the office building, and it is also the most important place for employees to exercise in the morning. After thinking about it, he walked in the direction of the family area.

Sure enough, just after the factory emblem, Zhang Xingwu saw Tao Tang wearing a sportswear.

The Hongxing factory covers an extremely wide area, which is roughly divided into two parts: living area and production area. The living area is in the east, the production area is in the west, and three office buildings of different specifications are built in the production area and the living area, forming an administrative area with three office buildings and two guest houses as the main buildings. Office Building No. 1 and Office Building No. 2 are both three-storey old buildings built in the fifties and sixties with a distinctly Soviet-style style, while the four-story No. 3 building was built in the late nineties and looks much more luxurious. Today, the company's leaders, the general manager's office and several main management departments occupy the third building.

"Good morning, Mr. Tao. You got up really early,......" Zhang Xingwu took a few steps and greeted Tao Tang.

"Director Zhang......" Tao Tang recognized Zhang Xingwu, "The air in our factory is really good." ”

"That's it. Finally, there is a place stronger than Yanjing. Zhang Xingwu said with a smile. It's a good opportunity, and it's very casual to talk.

"The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade." Tao Tang patted a thick cypress tree on the side of the road, "When I was a child, this was a dense cypress forest, and now there are only a few left." ”

Zhang Xingwu's lips moved, not knowing what to say. He is not a child of the Red Star, in the words of the Red Star people, he is an outsider. Tao Tang's words just now smelled of criticism, and he couldn't take this topic.

"Did Mr. Tao rest well last night? In a hurry, the preparation is definitely not in place, and Mr. Tao criticizes you. ”

"Are you home, can you still sleep?" Tao Tang looked at his office director, "Very well prepared, too sufficient...... Just now I saw that my family members went to the production area for a walk and morning exercise, is there any regulation in this regard? "Tao Tang Dynasty walked in the direction of Xiaozhao,

"There should be. Let me do that. ”

Tao Tang stopped breathing and quickened his pace. When he came to Xiaozhaomen, he turned around and said to Zhang Xingwu, "Time is precious in the morning, so don't accompany me." My office is in Building Three, right? You can just ask the secretary to open the office earlier. ”

"Yes, Mr. Tao." Zhang Xingwu saw a young man running towards Tao Tang, and was about to stop him, when he heard the young man call "Second Uncle", which turned out to be Tao Tang's nephew. Zhang Xingwu recalled the homework he had done beforehand, and remembered that this thin young man with glasses was called Tao Youdao, the only son of Tao Tang's brother Tao Jin, and worked as a statistician in the 6th branch factory.

The young man said something, Tao Tang couldn't say anything, then patted his nephew on the shoulder, and entered the automatic revolving door of the trick.

Although Tao Tang didn't want him to dine with him, Zhang Xingwu still followed into the trick, did not go upstairs, but checked the special private room and breakfast preparation prepared for Tao Tang, told the restaurant manager on duty, and then went home. He hurriedly ate breakfast and went to the office, and Li Zhibin, the secretary he had chosen for Tao Tang, was already cleaning the office for Tao Tang.

"Are the keys ready?" Zhang Xingwu stretched out his hand and touched it on the executive table.

"Ready, it's all here." Li Zhibin threw down the towel, took out a bunch of keys from his trouser pocket and handed it to Zhang Xingwu, "I've tried it all, no problem." ”

"Wipe the floor again, wring out the cloth."

"Yes."

Zhang Xingwu stood in front of the office door, looking at the furnishings in the room, looking for flaws. This office was used by Song Yue, but there was no way, because this was the largest and most imposing office on the second floor of Building 3, and Secretary Zhao designated it to be left to Mr. Tao. Of course, in addition to the air conditioner, the furniture and small appliances were all replaced, including a few pots of evergreens. After looking at it for a few minutes, Zhang Xingwu didn't find anything wrong, and nodded with satisfaction, "Xiao Li, this position is very competitive, I think you have already experienced it." Of course, the final decision lies with Mr. Tao and not with me. Do you know what to do? ”

"Thank you Director for your trust, I will definitely work hard."

"Very well, you can pack it up quickly. Mr. Tao's schedule is very early, and it is estimated that it will come soon. ”

After learning that Tao Tang took office, the three directors of the first and second deputy directors of the office studied Tao Tang's secretary candidates. Originally, this was completely the authority of the administrative position, but the department of the General Manager's Office was a little special, and although Jia Jianxin, the deputy director, was the youngest, he had always been strong with his uncle Li Luo. When Song Yue was in power, Jia Jianxin's words were even better than Zhang Xingwu's, not to mention Zhu Ning, the branch secretary and deputy director. Sure enough, Jia Jianxin proposed Wang Zhiping, and Zhu Ning had no opinion as usual.

Song Yue fell, and Li Luo, who was "very popular", did not take the position. Of course, Zhang Xingwu was unwilling to be squeezed by Jia Jianxin anymore, and the candidate he chose was Li Zhibin, who had no background like himself.

"As for the candidates, it is still up to Mr. Tao to decide. It would be good to mention a few more alternatives. Zhang Xingwu decided to frustrate Jia Jianwu, a young man who has been a little too arrogant in recent years, "I will give the shortlist to Mr. Tao, so be it." ”

"The director's approach is good. Let the leaders decide for themselves. Of course, Zhu Ning was on Zhang Xingwu's side.

The resentment and loss written on Jia Jianwu's face made Zhang Xingwu feel happy.

At 7:35, Tao Tang, who was wearing a cluster of new work clothes, appeared in the corridor on the second floor of Building 3, and Li Zhibin, who was wiping the corridor, had not seen the new leader, but this stranger wearing a new work clothes, his hair was gray, and he was carrying a black leather bag.

He hurriedly greeted him, "You are Mr. Tao, right?" I am Li Zhibin, the secretary of the factory office. Your office is in the innermost sunny room...... The door was open. ”

"Thank you." Tao Tang stretched out his hand to Li Zhibin.

Li Zhibin threw away the mop, wiped his hands on his pants, and held the other party's outstretched hand with both hands.

"You're busy." Tao Tang walked into the room and turned to Li Zhibin, who came over.

"Mr. Tao, call me whatever you need. The water has just boiled, and a few teas have been prepared, I don't know if it suits your taste......"

"It's not that particular...... There you go. Tao Tang looked at the office outside, which was obviously intended for the secretary, pushed open the half-hidden pure white solid wood door, and entered the room that he was going to use but didn't know how long it would last. In the course of his twenty years of work, he has used countless offices, first with others and then exclusively, but this one is clearly the most luxurious.

The sun rises in the room, and the morning light shines through the windows, casting light and shadow on the beige laminate floor. The room is fifty square meters and is divided into two areas, the east side is the office area, against the wall is a group of crimson solid wood office cabinets, and a half-person high password safe is placed in the corner. A 13-inch laptop sits on a black executive desk. But on the side table there is also a desktop computer connected to the network cable. Others such as automatic kettle, double glass insulated teacups are readily available.

Tao Tang threw his leather bag on the table and turned around. On the right is the sitting area, which is actually two areas, a set of brown leather sofas and a large marble-topped coffee table that even has a full set of Kung Fu Tea tea sets on the coffee table. On the wall opposite the sofa was a set of solid wood bookcases painted crimson, but they were empty, without a single book.

At the westernmost end of the office, a small conference table and chairs and six chairs make up the meeting area.

There are also two huge pots of green plants in the southwest corner, the one on the south side is the rich tree, and the other one on the north side he can't name.

Tao Tang found a brand-new ornament in front of the window between the executive desk and the sofa, which was a combination of a globe and a steering wheel, inlaid on a copper base of about one meter, and the steering wheel was thick and calm. The globe is oak and three-dimensional. Tao Tang gently turned the steering wheel, and the sea and land on the globe spun vividly.

Tao Tang smiled wordlessly. Picked up the leather bag thrown on the sofa, first took out the roster of cadres who came yesterday and put it on the desk, then took out the stainless steel teacup that had been used for several years, and looked at a few tea cones next to the desktop computer. I opened the drawer casually and found that there were four cigarettes inside, two soft Chinese and two ninety-five supreme.

There was a full set of stationery on the executive desk, in addition to the Lenovo notebook, there were also two notepads with leather covers, a manuscript paper printed with the words of Red Star Company, two pens in the imitation orchid porcelain pen holder, two gel pens and six sharpened pencils, two of which were red and blue pencils.

He took out a pencil and drew a pattern on the manuscript paper that only he could understand, he couldn't remember how many times he had felt like this, every time he took on a new post, it would bring him a unique feeling, the passion for making achievements and the freshness brought by the unfamiliar environment were intertwined.

Tao Tang silently sorted out his thoughts. There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in." Tao Tang sat up straight.

It was Zhang Xingwu who came in, "Mr. Tao, there are two things to report to you." ”

"You say."

"The first is your secretary candidate, according to Secretary Zhao's instructions, the general manager's office carefully studied, and selected three of your secretary candidates, all of whom are the current secretaries of the factory office...... The first one is Li Yubin, oh, it's the guy you just met. 25 years old this year, graduated from the Chinese Department of G University, entered the factory in 2011, and was assigned to the factory department after the completion of the probationary period in the summer of the previous year. The second is Chen Yan, a lesbian, who went to the factory office last year, and the advantage is that she got the pen. The third is Wang Zhiping, who originally followed Yang Wenhuan and had a more cheerful personality. Which do you think is suitable? ”

His sequencing and presentation have brought a strong inducement. He said that Wang Zhiping had served as the secretary of Yang Wenhua, who had been imprisoned, but did not say that Li Zhibin had been Song Yue's secretary.

Tao Tang didn't say anything, and looked at Zhang Xingwu calmly. Zhang Xingwu immediately became nervous, not knowing where he had gone wrong. He knew that the selection of the main leadership secretary was a big deal. Although Red Star is a business, it is more like a society. The number one is the supreme head of this small society, and a lot of transactional work is done by the secretary, and correspondingly, the secretary also has huge invisible power. Zhang Xingwu nervously wondered, did he think he was smart?

"That Xiao Li just now, is he a disciple of Red Star?" Finally, Tao Tang spoke.

"It's not. But he was from Hiraizumi City. ”

"So who is he with?"

"Song Yue." Zhang Xingwu regretted it to death, "He only followed Song Yue for less than four months." ”

"Just him, give it a try. By the way, how is the secretary matched? Are all company leaders full-time? ”

"It's not. Only you, Secretary Zhao and Chairman Guo's secretary are full-time, and the rest of the leaders, one secretary and two. ”

"Oh. What about the second piece? ”

"The car thing. It is customary to buy you a new car, but last year the headquarters reaffirmed the rule that the purchase of an official car must be approved by the headquarters. At the beginning of the year, I applied for three cars, but the headquarters has not yet approved it, what model do you like, I will re-report to the headquarters. ”

"I don't have to report it. I won't buy a car this year. ”

"Well, I'll have to choose one of the vehicles in the convoy first." Zhang Xingwu considered the wording, "There are two more suitable, one is a Mercedes-Benz 320 that came back from the top account, the S-class, which only ran less than 10,000, and the other is an Audi A6, with a displacement of 2.8 displacement, which was bought last year, and the mileage is about 15,000 ......."

"Just Audi."

"Okay...... I arranged to rebuild the interior. ”

"No, it's just what it looks like."

"Well, there's the driver. I chose an old driver, surnamed Wang, called Wang Fumin, who has been driving for 15 years, is the deputy captain of the small team, has good skills, and is also stable. ”

"Yes. By the way, how are the cars managed? Is there a special car for every leader? ”

"Yes. The main models are the Audi A6 and Passat. ”

"Oh, is there anything else?"

This is the phone call between Wang Fumin and Xiao Li. Xiao Li is working outside, and Wang Fumin is always on standby in the small team. Zhang Xingwu put a note with his mobile phone number on the desk.

"Oh......" Tao Tang raised his face, as if thinking about something, Zhang Xingwu stood there waiting for instructions.

"Director Zhang, about my personal life, the preparations in the factory are a little too much, such as that kung fu tea," Tao Tang pointed to the pile on the coffee table, "Take it." I don't have time for that...... Also, return the clothes you bought for me. ”

"Yes......" Zhang Xingwu wanted to explain, when there was a knock on the open door, and Zhao Qingmin appeared at the door. Tao Tang hurriedly stood up to greet him, "Secretary Zhao, please take a seat." Tao Tang turned out from behind the executive desk and greeted him.

Seeing this, Zhang Xingwu immediately retreated.

"You're here early enough. What do you think? Did you rest well last night? Zhao Qingmin sat down.

"Very good. I heard the birdsong in the early morning, which was really enjoyable. ”

"That's what makes it better than the big cities. This office was used by Song Yue, and I didn't ask for your opinion, if you think it's not suitable, I'll change it. ”

"Haha, officials don't repair yamen and customers don't repair shops, I don't pay so much attention to it. It's good, I don't have to toss anymore. ”

"First of all, the house. There are empty houses in the factory, but they are just rough houses. I will accompany you to choose a set, the price is much cheaper than the outside, I suggest you buy a set, I ask the infrastructure department to find a good decoration company to decorate the ......"

"No, I'm a bachelor, there's no need. It would be nice to have a bed to sleep in. ”

"You can't have temporary thoughts. Director Chang introduced your family situation, and I think it is better to live in a small trick at present. There is a special chef there, if it doesn't suit the taste, change it, in short, eat a good meal. Although you are young, your body is the capital, and your position is rarely idle. Zhao Qingmin pondered the words, "Are you considering bringing the child here?" We have a relationship with the education mouth, the city is a provincial focus, not far from the factory, only a fifteen-minute drive. In fact, Red Star No. 1 Middle School is also good, and Tsinghua University and Peking University have also taken several exams in recent years. ”

"No need, I don't have the energy to take care of her......"

"Oh. Mr. Tao, I came to ask, do you want to have a meeting? Let everyone report back to you? Everyone should be ready. Here is a material, I want to prepare the Ministry of Regulation, is a summary of the company's current basic situation, you have to take a look. ”

"Thank you, Secretary. It's good to meet everyone. Regarding the overall operation of our factory, I can see it at the headquarters......" Tao Tang got up to make tea for Zhao Qingmin, but was stopped by Zhao Qingmin.

"Secretary Zhao, what is the most obstructive thing in our factory at the moment?" Tao Tang changed his posture and seemed to respect each other more.

"Mr. Tao, since Song Yue's accident, I have been living like a year these days. Now that you're in place, I'm relieved of my burden. If you ask the most obstructive question, what I said may not be right, for your reference. Zhao Qingmin pondered for a moment, "I think the first thing is to clear the trouble caused by Song Yue, it was actually caused by Yang Wenhuan, that guy is really damned!" You know it all. There are a lot of rumors, which makes everyone very uneasy......"

Zhao Qingmin was eager to ask Tao Tang if he had brought instructions from the headquarters on the Yang Song case, but held back.

"Hmm." Tao Tang's face was expressionless.

"The second is the arrears of wages, several branches have been in arrears for two months, and the employees have great opinions...... "According to the usual practice, when the first leader takes office, the headquarters will always say, "Mr. Tao, always give a few pieces of dim sum to suppress hunger, right?" ”

"The headquarters is giving some money. A current loan of 100 million yuan, a guarantee made by the financial company, and the other is the arrears in the system, and the above also stated that part of it should be repaid first. I thought that I would send someone to Yanjing to sit down immediately, and I would be relieved to arrive early. ”

"That's good." Zhao Qingmin let out a long sigh, "You still have a big face." ”

"Secretary Zhao, my personal ability is limited, and to do a good job in Red Star, I have to rely on your brother, our team, and all the staff."

"That being said, but under the current system, the role of the number one is irreplaceable. We have all learned from Shengdong's experience, and when you come, the team and staff are very excited......"

"Haha, Secretary Zhao, I'm afraid I'm not as good as my predecessor, I'm talking about ability. I can make a statement to the secretary, I will not make the mistakes of Yang Wenhuan and Song Yue. If there is something wrong with your work, you have to point it out in time. If the party and government are of the same mind, things will be easy to do. ”

"You're the helmsman, I'll beat you the side drum." Zhao Qingmin glanced at the ornament, "Then, did you ask the secretary to notify the team members at home?" ”

"It's fine. It's just to meet. ”

"Xingwu!" Zhao Qingmin shouted.

Zhang Xingwu, who had been waiting outside, heard the sound and came in.

"Inform the leaders at home to hold a meeting in a quarter of an hour, a small conference room on the third floor."

"Okay." Zhang Xingwu turned around and went out.

"Then we'll see you later." Zhao Qingmin stood up.

"See you later." Tao Tang sent the secretary to the door, and then called Li Zhibin in.

"Director Zhang arranged for you to follow me," Tao Tang motioned for him to sit down, but Li Zhibin stood straight three meters away, "I agree to try it." There are no special requirements for you, just follow the basic discipline of the secretary. I heard Director Zhang say, you have been in the office for three years, and you don't need me to talk about the basic rules, right? ”

"I understand. Please rest assured. ”

"Later, you can attend."

"Yes. I'll call you in a quarter of an hour. ”
