At seven o'clock the next morning, Wu Aiguo came to Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperatives by bus.

Wu Aiguo saw the porter who was sweeping the floor, and hurriedly took out the cigarettes prepared in advance from his pocket, and greeted the porter with a smile: "Uncle Zhou!" Good morning! ”

Uncle Zhou, who was sweeping the floor, heard Wu Aiguo's greeting, subconsciously turned around, saw Wu Aiguo handing him a cigarette, and asked Wu Aiguo with a smile: "If I remember correctly, you should be Comrade Xiao Wu who reported to our unit the day before yesterday, right?" ”

Wu Aiguo handed the cigarette in his hand to Uncle Zhou and replied politely, "Uncle Zhou!" You remember correctly, I'm Wu Aiguo! I'm officially coming to work today. ”

Uncle Zhou took the cigarette handed to him by Wu Aiguo, leaned to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and said with a smile: "Comrade Xiao Wu! Xiao Jiang will not arrive at the unit until eight o'clock, you can wait at the concierge for a while, or go to the office building to wait. ”

When Wu Aiguo heard Uncle Zhou, he directly called Director Jiang Xiao Jiang, which made him can't help but think of the words before the soul pierced.

If you don't go to Kyoto, you don't know that you are a small official, you don't know that your car is not good when you don't go to Yangcheng, you don't know that you have little money when you don't go to Pengcheng, you don't know that you are timid, you don't know that you get married early when you don't go to Shancheng, and you don't know that you don't know how to go to Huhai and you don't know that you are a hillbilly!

Just by Uncle Zhou's title to Director Jiang, it is enough to show that Uncle Zhou's qualifications or level are much higher than Director Jiang.

Wu Aiguo heard Uncle Zhou's suggestion, and thanked with a smile: "Uncle Zhou! Thank you! When I reported the day before yesterday, my desk had already been arranged in the office, and I went directly to the office to wait for Director Jiang. ”

After Wu Aiguo said goodbye to Uncle Zhou, he walked towards the courtyard.

"Section Chief Wu! Good morning! I'm Xiao Zhang from the Purchasing Department! You are welcome to join our Purchasing Family. Wu Aiguo came to the office of the procurement department, and a young man, seeing Wu Aiguo, hurriedly greeted Wu Aiguo warmly.

Wu Aiguo heard the young man's greeting, first shook hands with the young man, and corrected him with a smile: "Hello! Comrade Xiao Zhang! I am the deputy section chief, not the section chief, and if I am heard by Section Chief Li, I am afraid I will be unhappy. ”

When Xiao Zhang heard Wu Aiguo's reminder, an embarrassed smile immediately appeared on his face, and he replied with a smile: "Section Chief Wu! Section Chief Li is going to retire in October this year, and it will be a matter of time before you become a regular. ”

Regarding Section Chief Li's retirement, Wu Aiguo had heard about it from the old chief before he returned to Kyoto.

Moreover, the old chief also clearly told Wu Aiguo that after Section Chief Li retired, he would take over the work of the Procurement Section.

Wu Aiguo clearly knows that if you want to go further in your career, you must first learn to be cautious in your words and deeds, and secondly, be modest and cautious.

When Wu Aiguo heard Xiao Zhang's words, he didn't forget to tell Xiao Zhang: "Xiao Zhang! It's good if you talk about this kind of thing in front of me, but you can't say it in front of other people. ”

"Section Chief Li! Good morning! Just as Wu Aiguo walked to his desk with a military green cloth bag, Xiao Zhang, who had just walked out of the office, suddenly shouted loudly.

Wu Aiguo heard Xiao Zhang's shout and subconsciously looked towards the door of the office.

"Section Chief Li! Good morning! ”

Section Chief Li saw Wu Aiguo standing in the office, and greeted Wu Aiguo warmly: "Patriotic comrade! Good morning! You are welcome to join our Purchasing family. ”

Wu Aiguo heard Section Chief Li's welcome lines that were exactly the same as Xiao Zhang's, and politely said to Section Chief Li: "Section Chief Li! In the future, we will be comrades-in-arms who eat in the same pot, and at work, you should mention me as a newcomer. ”

Section Chief Li had already reached the age of retirement, because of the arrival of Wu Aiguo, the above asked him to extend his retirement for half a year, let him bring Wu Aiguo more, and wait for Wu Aiguo to be completely familiar with the work of the procurement department, he could retire.

When Section Chief Li heard Wu Aiguo's polite words, he thought of the task that Director Jiang had given to the Procurement Section not long ago, and said to Wu Aiguo: "Patriotism! Walk! Come and sit in my office, I just have some work to talk to you about! ”

The two walked into Section Chief Li's office one after the other, and Section Chief Li said to Wu Aiguo with a stern face: "Patriotic! Originally, I was going to retire in March this year, but considering that you had just returned from a new job, I was asked to continue working until November, until you are familiar with all the business of the Procurement Section, and then I will officially retire. ”

"For this reason, in the future, our procurement department, with you as the main and me as the auxiliary, can come to me at any time if there is anything unclear in the work."

Today is the second time Wu Aiguo has met Section Chief Li, and he doesn't know what Section Chief Li is like at all, let alone whether Section Chief Li's words are true or false.

Faced with Section Chief Li's arrangement, Wu Aiguo pretended to be flattered and replied: "Section Chief Li! You are the leader of our procurement department, and if there is any task in the future, you can tell me! ”

Wu Aiguo's answer was completely expected by Section Chief Li, thinking of the work assigned by Director Jiang to the Procurement Section last week, Section Chief Li no longer bothered about this question, and said to Wu Aiguo: "Patriotic comrade! Because of the drought, food production has been reduced, and eventually there is a shortage of supplies. ”

"Since last month, the goods allocated to our company have been directly reduced by two layers, resulting in an obvious shortage of supply for our company, which has led to complaints from the surrounding people."

"Last week! When you came to the unit to report, Director Jiang specially called me to the office and asked our procurement section to increase the intensity of procurement, strive to make up for the shortage of materials, and ensure the supply of materials to the masses. ”

When Wu Aiguo heard Section Chief Li's briefing, he immediately remembered that this year was the first year of the Great Famine, and that in the next three years, there would be a large-scale drought throughout the country, which would seriously affect the sowing and growth of crops, resulting in a decrease in grain production.

Wu Aiguoguan thought that his soul had penetrated to this era, but he forgot the catastrophe and famine in the next three years, thinking of the number he had heard in his previous life, Wu Aiguo asked Section Chief Li with a solemn face: "Section Chief Li! If we are the purchasing department of the factory and want to purchase some unplanned materials, it is nothing more than some food. ”

"But we are different, we are Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative, responsible for the supply of people in Chaoyang District, in addition to food and meat, there are other daily necessities purchased, although the number of two floors does not sound much, but the quantity is very large."

Regarding the question mentioned by Wu Aiguo, Section Chief Li also thought of it.

Section Chief Li thought of the gap in the allocation of materials, and said to Wu Aiguo with a solemn face: "Patriotic! I've already thought about the problem you're talking about, so I sent out all the buyers in Corey before the weekend break. ”

"In addition, on the weekend, I personally visited several factories and negotiated with them for a batch of unplanned materials to try to solve part of the shortfall.
