Looking at the middle-level cadres of the whole factory, it is rare to be in their forties, and it is very common to be in their fifties, Fang Hanmin and them belong to two generations, not to mention the traversers, even if the contemporary young people are still in the same generation, there is a generation gap with the previous generation.

Originally, the concept was different, coupled with Fang Hanmin's maverick style of doing things, he was an outlier among the section-level cadres of the whole factory, especially in the department, whenever the technical department was involved in the work with other departments, there were always people who made it difficult for him, Fang Hanmin himself may not have noticed it, but this kind of behavior has become a common action of some department leaders, including the infrastructure department and Section Chief Li's meddling this time, which is one of the manifestations of this behavior.

Because Fang Hanmin has the strong support of Director Yuan, they all know that they can't do anything to him, but they just want to create some trouble for Fang Hanmin and let him know that things are not so simple.

Since he officially took office as the head of the technical section, Fang Hanmin has been immersed in work all day long, and has never dealt with the financial department and the infrastructure department.

After graduating from 985 University in his previous life, he went to study at Oxford University, and he did not have a good understanding of the complexity of interpersonal relationships in the workplace.

As soon as he returned to his office, the attendant Sister Chen followed, "Sister Chen, is there anything wrong with you?" Fang Hanmin turned around and asked.

"Section Chief, didn't you take leave to go home two days ago, I want to tell you something."

"Oh, what's the matter? You say. ”

"The son of Section Chief Li of the Finance Section, he got married this Sunday, what do you think ......?"

"Uh, I just came back from Section Chief Li, why didn't he tell me?"

"Maybe he didn't plan to tell you, or maybe he was too embarrassed to tell you to your face."

"Yes, Section Chief Li and I are not familiar with me, and he may not want to tell me. Sister Chen, what do you mean? "Fang Hanmin has no experience with this kind of thing.

Sister Chen is a veteran staff member of the agency, and she is very familiar with the interpersonal relationship of the department, "Section Chief Fang, you are all department leaders, and you work in the same building, you don't see you when you look up, I think it's ......."

"Sister Chen, don't be embarrassed, I just want to hear your advice, just say it."

"Although you were not very familiar with Section Chief Li before, you are all middle-level cadres in the factory, and the financial department is a more important department in the factory, his son is married, I think it is more suitable for you to follow a part, and it is easy to talk when we meet in the future, don't you say?"

I have to say that this is a kind intention of Sister Chen, the financial department is indeed a more important department of the whole factory, and the technical department is a money-spending institution, including travel reimbursement and scientific research expenses, all of which must be checked by the financial department, although these expenses are agreed by the factory, if the interpersonal relationship is handled well, the handling process will be relatively smooth, if the relationship is unfamiliar, it is difficult to say. This time, the instrument procurement expenditure is the most realistic example, and Fang Hanmin has already experienced this.

According to the background of the traverser in his previous life, he is a very noble person, and he does not engage in this kind of interpersonal relationship at all, but following the customs of the locals, since he has fallen into a big dye vat, it is not easy to get out of the mud without staining!

Fang Hanmin felt that Sister Chen's words were reasonable, after all, they were all colleagues working in the same building, even if they were not familiar with it before, Lao Li's son should be married, he should follow a part, "Sister Chen, it's no problem to follow the group, how much do you think it is appropriate for me to follow?" ”

"You are all department leaders, you must not be the same as us!"

"Ouch, I thought it would be enough to express a meaning, what's the matter, do you have any special requirements for department leaders for this kind of thing?"

"It's not that there are special requirements, after all, you are the section chief, and you are on an equal footing with the people, firstly, your status is reduced, and secondly, you can't attract the attention of the other party."

It's not that Fang Hanmin spares a few dollars, it's just that he feels a little embarrassed to have a courtesy exchange with an unfamiliar person! I thought it would be okay to follow the crowd, but I didn't expect that the etiquette was also exquisite, and the section chief would look different from ordinary employees, who stipulated this? "Sister Chen, do you know what the other section chiefs plan to follow?"

"I don't know this ......!"

Sister Chen is just a general staff member of the technical department, and she can't go to other departments to inquire, one of them; In addition, the leaders of other departments may be friends with Section Chief Li, since the relationship is close, of course, the courtesy is more important. Therefore, this kind of thing is not easy to compare. To tell the truth, Sister Chen and Fang Hanmin are just superiors and subordinates, not friends, who wants to ask you around!

Just when Fang Hanmin didn't know what to do, Sister Chen mentioned another thing, "Section Chief, it is said that Section Chief Qiu's daughter 'Eleven' of the Infrastructure Section is married, what will you do then?" "The female workers in the various departments of the agency are always well informed.

"What? I haven't decided on this matter yet, Chief of Infrastructure Section, I haven't even spoken to him, what else can I do? ”

It's not that Fang Hanmin doesn't have an infrastructure department in his eyes, but he has participated in several factory meetings, and he has met with Deputy Director Zhou in charge of infrastructure construction many times, and they are more familiar with each other, so when he dealt with the infrastructure department twice, Fang Hanmin directly looked for Deputy Director Zhou in charge of infrastructure, and he had no intersection with the people in the infrastructure department, and he was relatively unfamiliar with Section Chief Qiu of the infrastructure department.

"If you give Section Chief Li of the Finance Department a part and ignore the affairs of Section Chief Qiu of the Infrastructure Section, will there be people behind you who talk about your favoritism? After all, Lao Qiu is also the section chief. ”

Fang Hanmin nodded, "Sister Chen, thank you for the reminder!" Anyway, everyone is a colleague, although I am a stranger to Section Chief Qiu, I have to live on face! Let me think about it. ”

Although it caused trouble to Fang Hanmin, Sister Chen's reminder was right, she was the attendance clerk of the technical department, and it was one of her responsibilities to pay attention to these miscellaneous things in the department.

After Sister Chen left, Fang Hanmin was a little upset, he couldn't work with peace of mind while sitting in a chair, technology development and scientific and technological research were difficult for him, and these trivial things in daily life made him lose his mind.

Because of his personality, don't look at Fang Hanmin has been in the factory for more than ten years, and he has been working in the technical department for seven or eight years, but he does not have a real friend in the agency.

Although Jiao Tiehui can be called a buddy, he is with a group of grassroots workers all day long, and Fang Hanmin thinks he can't give any advice in this regard.

Xiao Min is also an attendance clerk in a grassroots unit, but she has been working longer than Fang Hanmin, and she has an easy-going personality and knows more people, so Fang Hanmin feels that he can consult her about some situations.

Anyway, he didn't want to work, Fang Hanmin dialed the internal phone of the second workshop attendant office, and no one answered when the bell rang for a while, Fang Hanmin had to put down the phone, and dialed it again after a few minutes, and the other party answered, "Second workshop office, who are you looking for?" ”

"Xiao Min, I'm Fang Hanmin."

"Section Chief Fang, you busy man, why did you remember to call me today? Is your girlfriend coming to you and wanting to borrow a dorm with me? Xiao Min laughed.

"Unfortunately, you guessed wrong. I'm looking for you today for something else. ”

"What's the matter? How do you know I can help you? ”

Fang Hanmin said about the entourage, "I am not familiar with these two section chiefs, especially the section chief Qiu of the infrastructure section, I have no intersection with him, to be honest, if it weren't for the advice of the attendance clerk Sister Chen, I wouldn't want to follow the two of them." ”

"Sister Chen's suggestion is right, it's for your good! Originally, you were estranged from those people, and if you didn't follow them and took the opportunity to get acquainted with them, they would be even more alienated from you in the future. Although Xiao Min does not work in government departments, her status as an attendance clerk has more contact with more people, and she is also very thoughtful about things.

"I also think it makes sense, but I don't know how to follow it." Fang Hanmin said anxiously.

"Didn't Sister Chen tell you? She has worked in the agency for many years, and she is familiar with people in various departments, she should know! ”

"Spending money and giving gifts is not a particularly good relationship, and no one gives you advice."

Xiao Min laughed again, "Ouch, it seems that we have a very good relationship!" Section Chief Fang, should I feel honored? ”

"Xiao Min, are you a little serious? I'm at a loss here, but you're joking with me over and over again, don't you want to help me? Also, call him by his name, not the section chief. ”

"You're a man who has always been more serious than lively. Tell me, how can I help you? ”

"It's very simple, you just tell me, how should this child go?"

"Fang Hanmin, if you say it is so simple, Sister Chen will tell you."

"yes, that's what she said, the problem is you can't say that."

"Hey, what do you think I'm supposed to say? You are the section chief, among your middle-level cadres, can you be on the same level as ordinary employees? ”

"But between middle-level cadres, the relationship is also far and near, and those who have a good relationship with each other belong to friends, and others follow the important part, I am a stranger to them before, do you say I can be the same as their friends? So, there's no comparison. ”

"That's right. What do you want me to do? ”

"You are an old attendance, you know a lot of people, and you generally know these middle-level cadres in the factory, who has a good relationship with whom, and who has a general relationship with whom. Today and tomorrow, take the time to help me inquire about those middle-level cadres who have a similar relationship with Lao Li of the Finance Section and Lao Qiu of the Infrastructure Section, and see how they are going to follow the elements. ”

"So you want me to help you with intelligence? That's a good idea! But how do you think I can get such news? ”

"Xiao Min, you have an easy-going personality and know a lot of people, I believe you will definitely be able to find out about this."

"Am I really that good? You think too highly of me! Hearing this, Xiao Min felt a sour feeling in his heart, Fang Hanmin, if it wasn't duplicity, why hadn't he heard you say a word earlier? You're an afterthought!

"Xiao Min, I believe you must have a way, help me inquire."

Fang Hanmin will not look at the wrong person, Xiao Min is the best among the more than 20 attendees in the factory. Entrusted by Fang Hanmin, in the afternoon of the same day, Xiao Min knocked on the side and inquired about five or six attendees, and the leaders of the departments where these attendants were located had a very general relationship with Lao Li of the Finance Department and Lao Qiu of the Infrastructure Department.

According to these attendance clerks, for the sake of their colleagues' faces, the leaders of their departments will give Lao Li and Lao Qiu followers, but the money is only a little more than that of ordinary employees.

After knowing the news, Fang Hanmin knew it in his heart.

In addition to thanking Xiao Min for his help, Fang Hanmin laughed self-deprecatingly, for the sake of these face-saving things, he actually asked a friend to find a relationship, and wasted time and energy needlessly, it was really not worth it! However, after all, he does not live in a vacuum, and he has to deal with all kinds of people no matter what.
