Three o'clock in the afternoon.

As the movie ended, a group of leaders streamed out in the small auditorium.

Zheng Zhendong, who was walking at the end, looked at the father and son of the Xu family, and said with a smile: "Uncle Xu, Damao, thank you for your hard work, today's movie is very good, and the leaders are very satisfied." ”

Zheng Zhendong thought in his heart, after all, everyone lived in the same courtyard, and when they had lunch at noon, they had already greeted Silly Zhu, and they met with the Xu family's father and son, of course, they couldn't pretend not to know each other.

Xu Youfu hurriedly said modestly: "Dongzi, the leaders are really praised, our two masters will eat with this craft, how can we not do our best!" ”

After chatting a few more words, Zheng Zhendong watched all the leaders go out, and then hurriedly smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle Xu, you guys are busy, I'll go first." ”

After finishing speaking, he smiled and waved his hand at the two of them, and quickly followed.

"Dad, look at him to the cow, I don't know how much you think he has become a leader?"

After seeing Zheng Zhendong walk out of the auditorium, Xu Damao immediately pursed his lips, and his face was full of resentment.

After all, Xu Youfu has been in the society for so many years, so he can naturally understand the powerful relationship here.

To put it mildly, the young people in the whole courtyard are combined, and it is estimated that they are not as good as Zheng Zhendong, and they may ask him one day, how can they make Xu Damao ruin his own affairs.

So when he heard the jealousy in Xu Damao's words, he opened his mouth and scolded: "Shut up, say anything, I see that you are really idle and have nothing to do, no matter how bad people are, they are also the people who sit next to the leader, but you are a cow, but why didn't you take a seat in front of the leader?" ”

At this time, Xu Damao, although he was a little smart, was far less tactful than that of later generations, and he instinctively gave birth to a rebellious psychology for Xu Youfu's reprimand.

"He, tui......" Xu Damao couldn't help but roll his eyes, and then said with a stalk around his neck: "Am I not right?" Look at him like that, he pretends to be quite similar, and it's not a little urging in front of the leader! ”

Seeing that Xu Damao was still unconvinced, Xu Youfu raised his hand and slapped him, and after the beating, he sternly warned: "What nonsense, if he hears it, there will be a day when you regret it." ”

Xu Damao rubbed the back of his head, grinning and sucking for a long time, but he didn't dare to say strange things anymore.

…………

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

Under the chairmanship of Zhang Xude, the main leaders of the factory held a meeting, the purpose of which is self-evident, mainly to clarify Liu Changhe's next work.

After finishing the opening remarks, Zhang Xude looked at Wang Changyou, smiled, and then asked with a serious face: "Director Wang, no one cares about the work now, you are in charge of the specific work in the factory, let's talk about it, let's arrange it." ”

Although he knew that Zhang Xude was knowingly asking, his purpose was naturally to destroy the relationship between himself and Liu Changhe, but he could only act according to his wishes.

Glancing up at Sun Jianping, his eyes showed a look full of apologies, and then Wang Changyou muttered: "Director Sun, Secretary Zhang, now there are no other comrades in charge of logistics and propaganda in our factory, and there are already other comrades in charge. ”

After listening to Wang Changyou's words, and seeing that everyone did not have a clear intention of opposition, Zhang Xude pondered for a moment, then smiled, and then asked tentatively: "Comrade Changhe just came here today, will he be too busy to be in charge of the two tasks?" Why don't you let him take charge of the propaganda work first? ”

Before taking the opportunity of lunch at noon, Sun Jianping had already exchanged opinions with Wang Changyou, knowing that there were people in charge of important departments in the factory, and he felt that he was already very ashamed that he did not win two jobs for Liu Changhe, both production and technology.

Now hearing Zhang Xude say this, Sun Jianping couldn't sit still anymore, and said: "Comrade Changhe is very capable, in our Industrial Bureau, he has always kept the planning department in good order, and it is not difficult for him to be in charge of two tasks, I think this matter can be given a try." ”

With Sun Jianping's interjection, coupled with the fact that others did not clearly oppose it, Zhang Xude could not insist on going his own way, so he could only smile and nod and say: "Okay, no problem, then let Comrade Changhe try it first." ”

After saying this, he looked at Liu Changhe again, and then said with a smile: "If you are really too busy, you can tell me, and we will make adjustments when the time comes." ”

On this occasion, there was no opportunity for Liu Changhe to speak, and it was the privilege of the top leader in the factory about the work arrangement.

The current situation is thanks to the strong support of Sun Jianping and Wang Changyou, otherwise things will only get worse.

Seeing Zhang Xude throwing the topic to himself, Liu Changhe hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, Secretary Zhang, thank you for your trust." ”

“……”

After talking about this topic, he talked about other problems of the factory, and when all the problems were dealt with, Zhang Xude announced the dismissal of the meeting.

Walking out of the conference room, Sun Jianjun specially chatted with Wang Changyou and introduced Liu Changhe to him.

When everything was arranged, he rushed back to the Industrial Bureau.

After seeing the jeep go away, everyone turned around and walked towards the office building.

The group was talking, and soon arrived in front of the office building, Zhang Xude deliberately stopped, looked at Xin Yonggui, the director of the office, and ordered with a smile: "Lao Xin, is the office of Comrade Changhe cleaned up?" ”

Xin Yonggui stepped forward quickly, nodded hurriedly and replied: "Secretary Zhang, I have already cleaned it up, I will arrange someone to do this this morning, and I have deliberately gone over to take a look before, and it is indeed quite clean." ”

"That's good." Zhang Xude nodded with a smile, and then ordered: "You work harder, take Comrade Changhe over to take a look, if he is not satisfied, seize the time to rectify." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Liu Changhe again, and said with a smile: "Comrade Changhe, I still have work to do, so I won't accompany you over, let Lao Xin lead you there, if there is anything you are not satisfied with, you can mention it to him." ”

"Okay, Secretary Zhang, I'm bothering you." Liu Changhe smiled and nodded in agreement.

Zhang Xude nodded again, walked upstairs directly, and after seeing him leave, the other leaders also said hello to Liu Changhe, and then left.

With the continuous expansion of the rolling mill and the increasing number of office staff, at the end of last year, a new office building was specially built for everyone to use.

Compared with the newly built office building of the factory committee, the building here is relatively much older, although there have been comrades who have mentioned rebuilding or relocation before, but they are afraid that the leaders of the rolling mill will be extravagant and wasteful, and this matter will finally be closed.

For some reason, Zheng Zhendong likes this somewhat outdated architectural style very much, which is simple and solid, without any fancy at all, and the cold color of blue-gray seems to also reveal a certain characteristic of power, rational and ruthless, easy to resonate.

The three of them walked slowly, and when they came to the door of the old building, they saw that in the hall on the first floor, there were two rows of cadres and staff standing in Qi Shushu, Liu Changhe just walked up the steps, Xin Yonggui on the side nodded, smiled and made a gesture, and there was a neat applause in front of him.

"Thank you, thank you." Liu Changhe raised his hand and looked at everyone with a smile, but the corner of his eye turned to Xin Yonggui, the director of the office actually arranged this scene, and I don't know whether it was a welcome, a demonstration, or a combination of both.

Although he had received countless reminders from Zheng Zhendong, all of which told him to be careful of the bright and hidden arrows in the factory, Liu Changhe didn't care too much, and he already had a plan for dealing with the future work arrangements.

Under Xin Yonggui's introduction, Liu Changhe shook hands and greeted everyone one by one, and these people who came were basically leaders and employees of the logistics department and the propaganda department.

After getting acquainted with everyone, accompanied by Chen Ziming, head of the Propaganda Section, and Yue Weishan, director of the Logistics Department, the group went straight to the third floor.

The room has long been cleaned up, on the desk, all kinds of office supplies are readily available, behind the desk is a row of black cabinets, which are placed with all kinds of books and materials, the door is against the corner of the wall, is a brown leather sofa, although it is a little old, but it is a good thing at a glance, it is estimated that Lou Hongyi was in charge of the rolling mill before, specially purchased back.

"Director Liu, this is your office, if you are not satisfied, even if you mention it to me, I will immediately ask people to rectify it." Xin Yonggui smiled proudly.

Liu Changhe looked around, nodded and replied, "That's good, it's really hard for you, Director Xin!" ”

A few people humbly sat down, Zheng Zhendong walked forward with a smile, made them steaming tea, and respectfully withdrew, closing the door gently, Xin Yonggui only stayed for seven or eight minutes, then got up to say goodbye, from beginning to end, did not touch the cup of tea in front of him.

Chen Ziming and Yue Weishan sat for a while, made a brief report to Liu Changhe about their respective work, and left.

After watching them go away, Zheng Zhendong returned to the office.

Finding Liu Changhe sitting on the sofa, looking tired, Zheng Zhendong opened his mouth to persuade: "Leader, why don't you take a break, I don't see that your face is not very good." ”

Liu Changhe waved his hand and replied with a smile: "No need, I have no problem, it's just that I saw too many people today, and I feel a little overwhelmed." ”

Zheng Zhendong sighed, walked to Liu Changhe's side, and gently massaged his head with his hand, hoping that through this way, he could help him relieve his fatigue.

After more than ten minutes, Liu Changhe's fatigue was somewhat relieved, he waved his hand to signal Zheng Zhendong to stop, and then pointed to the sofa and asked him to sit down too.

After Zheng Zhendong nodded and took his seat, Liu Changhe asked earnestly: "Xiao Zheng, what do you think about the work, I am now in charge of logistics and publicity, do you continue to work under me, or shall I go and ask Director Wang to transfer you to the technical department?" ”

"Leader, where do you want me to go?" Zheng Zhendong asked instead of answering.

Liu Changhe was also in a dilemma about this matter, after all, he had just come to work in the factory, and it was when his eyes were black, and there was no one available under his hands, Zheng Zhendong followed him, of course, he was the only person he trusted.

But Zheng Zhendong studied the metallurgical industry, and it was a good opportunity to work in the rolling mill, and it was a good opportunity to show his talents.

He thought about it carefully for a long time, and felt that he couldn't be too selfish, and he couldn't delay Zheng Zhendong's future because of his own convenience.

Gritting his teeth at the end, he said bluntly: "I'm only in charge of the logistics department and the propaganda department now, if you follow me, you can only choose the right position from these two departments, or I will go to Director Wang and ask him to transfer you to the technical department?" ”

Zheng Zhendong was silent for a moment, went through the matter in his mind, and finally shook his head and refused: "Leader, I think this matter is still over, after all, you just came to the factory, if you go to open this mouth with Director Wang, let's not say whether he will agree, even if he really agrees, you must owe him a favor, I don't think it's worth it." ”

Hearing Zheng Zhendong say this, Liu Changhe hesitated a little, although this is more realistic, but this is the case.

However, in order to arrange a good place for Zheng Zhendong, he still said: "It's not true, Director Sun specially introduced it before, and asked me to cooperate with Director Wang, he and we are people on the same line, so he shouldn't have any ideas." ”

Although Liu Changhe said this, Zheng Zhendong knew that in fact it was not as simple as he said, the game of officialdom is not a matter of hello, I am good and everyone is good, as a qualified politician, the first thing to consider is interests.

The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the soil in the world is for profit, how can there be a free lunch in the world.

Often the free ones are the most expensive, and it is not cost-effective to ask Wang Changyou for work, in Zheng Zhendong's opinion, because you owe favors and have to pay back, and when people need you to repay, then the matter must be small, and you may have to pay a lot......

Although Wang Changyou has contact with Sun Jianping, but he and Liu Changhe don't know each other, whether the two sides can come together and finally become like-minded partners, there must be a process in between.

The two are not equal in nature, and if they come to the door for help recklessly, they can't help but be despised and easily criticized, and this will only outweigh the losses.

After thinking of this, Zheng Zhendong hurriedly continued to persuade with bitterness: "If he really had this heart, it is estimated that he would have brought it up a long time ago, and the reason why he never said it was just waiting for you to come to the door to beg him, for the sake of my work, we really don't need to ask him, you must know that the world's human debt is the most difficult to repay." ”

Liu Changhe actually understands these truths, and after listening to Zheng Zhendong's words, he extinguished his previous thoughts.

He pondered for a moment, looked up at Zheng Zhendong, and asked with a smile, "In that case, which department do you want to go to?" ”

Hearing that Liu Changhe finally gave up his previous thoughts, Zheng Zhendong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, the two departments of the Propaganda Department and the Logistics Department are not ideal work units for Zheng Zhendong.
