That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1117 They are all his stepping stones

Niu Hongzhang paced back and forth in his office in agitation.
Director Wan and Lai Jiayi sat obediently on the sofa, their eyes fixed on Niu Hongzhang's footsteps, their heads moving left and right, just like worried parents watching over a toddler, afraid that he would fall down and cry loudly the next moment.

Of course, Niu Hongzhang is over 50 years old, so he certainly won't cry loudly.

But ever since Director Wan and Lai Jiayi came in, Niu Hongzhang never closed his mouth and kept on yelling and cursing.

"What nonsense! He wants to reform the system so he can reform it, and he wants to expand the staff so he can expand it? Li Ye is only a section-level official, and he wants to add three more section-level officials? Who does he think he is?"

"Before I came here, my superiors told me that the situation at the Light Automobile Company was very complicated. I didn't expect it to be so complicated that even the basic personnel appointment process could be changed. It's ridiculous."

"And what's wrong with Yang Chengming and Cheng Zhijian today? They didn't even object to Li Ye's ridiculous proposal. What were they thinking?"

"."

Niu Hongzhang kept asking angry questions, but neither Director Wan Ke nor Lai Jiayi answered his questions.

Because Niu Hongzhang himself knew the answer, there was no need for the two smart guys to talk too much.

Today, Li Ye proposed the idea of ​​"expanding" the sales department of a branch factory at the meeting, and immediately gained the support of Ma Zhaoxian, but was also resisted by Niu Hongzhang.

Niu Hongzhang's reason for boycotting is that such a big matter requires approval from the higher-ups and discussion at every level. Anyway, no matter what, twenty-eight checkpoints will be set for you. If you can't pass one checkpoint, your "marketing department" will not be able to operate.

How can you expand without a staffing plan? This is not a private enterprise. They can give you a vice president today and fire you tomorrow. In the end, you will end up with nothing, without any additional burden.

The Light Automobile Company is a "formal unit". Once you are promoted to deputy section chief, you will enjoy the treatment of a deputy section chief for the rest of your life. You may even be promoted to a half-level after retirement. How can the company expand its staff at will with such a heavy burden?

These days, self-employed people generally make a lot of money, but neighbors still care more about the salary system.

A high income without a formal employment can make young people who don't care about anything do anything, but a high salary with a formal employment can make the cautious middle-aged people excited.

So when Ma Zhaoxian and Niu Hongzhang disagreed, the rest of the people either explicitly or implicitly sided with Ma Zhaoxian, and in the end Li Ye's opinion won the support of the vast majority of people.

So after the meeting, Niu Hongzhang called Director Wan and Lai Jiayi to discuss countermeasures.

Director Wan Ke had just been scolded by Li Ye, so there was definitely no possibility of reconciliation. Lai Jiayi also had a "mortal enemy" because of the last D-level election, and was thinking about how to trip up Li Ye every day.

So the two of them are now Niu Hongzhang's loyal team. Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. When three people get together, they will definitely come up with a solution.

"Lao Wan, Xiao Lai, I told you last month that Ma Zhaoxian is a man with bad intentions. After he took office, he deliberately suppressed the development of the main factory, which led to the poor operating conditions of the main factory.
On the contrary, they fully supported the first branch, which resulted in the continuous loss of employees from the main factory to the first branch."

"Such a simple truth, anyone can figure it out, but today Lao Yang and Lao Cheng were confused by Li Ye. Go walk around and ask them what they are thinking."

"."

Director Wan Ke and Lai Jiayi looked at each other, both with helpless expressions.

[Isn't today's incident because of you, Niu Hongzhang? ]

Originally, after the Spring Festival, Niu Hongzhang ordered Yang Chengming from the Personnel Department of the General Factory not to allow any more "brain drain" to occur.

But last month, Niu Hongzhang asked Park In-ji to take a few of his close subordinates to the first branch factory and merge with the sales department of the first branch factory.

This actually gave Li Ye an idea.

Isn’t this the integration of human resources? I’ve seen it before!

It’s just that Li Ye’s appetite has grown now and he doesn’t want to pretend anymore. Instead, he wants to integrate the outstanding talents of the main factory.

Lai Jiayi thought for a moment, then said, "Secretary Niu, I have been in the first branch for two years. Based on my understanding of Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang, they are unlikely to accept middle-aged people like Lao Yang and Lao Cheng.
Whether it is workers or cadres in the first branch factory, they all like to make use of young people, so when the time comes for selection, many experienced cadres may be disappointed. At that time, they will probably complain about Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang. We can use them to make some progress. "

Niu Hongzhang said disdainfully: "Young people just like to daydream. They think they are Zhuge Liang as soon as they think of themselves. They are too impulsive and will never achieve great things.
You should pay close attention to this matter and expose the conspiracy of Li Ye and his people at the critical moment. Don't let them deceive our workers and cadres."

"Okay, let's go talk to Lao Cheng and the others right away."

Director Wan quickly agreed and took the opportunity to pull Lai Jiayi out of Niu Hongzhang's office.

After coming out, Director Wan suddenly said to Lai Jiayi, "Do you think Lao Yang and Lao Cheng would be interested in the position of marketing manager of a branch factory? They are old enough, are they willing to be Li Ye's grandsons?"

Lai Jiayi was stunned, wondering why not? Am I not being ostracized by Li Ye now?

But even if you are squeezed out, you still have to pay all your wages, bonuses, and benefits. It's not easy to save several thousand yuan a year.

A few days ago, Lai Jiayi asked the staff of the General Affairs Department if she met the conditions for housing in the first branch factory if her husband gave up the housing provided by their company. The staff of the General Affairs Department clearly told Lai Jiayi that as long as her husband gave up the current housing, they could get a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.

The people in the General Affairs Department knew that Lai Jiayi and Li Ye had an average relationship, so they must have asked Li Ye for his opinion before answering her. But the new apartment with three bedrooms and a living room should be divided up anyway. Don’t Old Cheng and the others even look down on this treatment?

But Director Wan whispered, "I have known Lao Cheng and Lao Yang for more than ten years. They actually want to promote the expansion of the entire first branch factory. By then, there will be several deputy factory director positions."

"."

Lai Jiayi was surprised and asked, "Are you saying that Lao Yang and the others have completely turned to Ma Zhaoxian?"

Section Chief Wan laughed at himself and said, "Who knows? They have nothing to do all day and are so imaginative and presumptuous that they may just be suffering from hysteria!"

"."

Lai Jiayi looked at Director Wan Ke who was walking further and further away, and always felt that he suddenly seemed like a different person after the meeting.

After returning home that afternoon, Director Wan Ke discussed important matters with his wife.

"Prepare a large bundle of money for me. I need to make some money and leave the Light Automobile Company."

"What? You're doing well, why are you suddenly transferred? How can you be transferred at your age?"

Director Wan Ke’s wife also works for the Light Automobile Company and is a popular figure in the unit. If Director Wan Ke is transferred, will he still be so successful in the future?
Wan Kechang sighed, told his wife about today's meeting, and then said helplessly: "Our unit held a meeting today. After the meeting, I suddenly had a guess that Deputy Manager Ma might have made plans for today since the day he came to the Light Automobile Company.

In the beginning, the level of the first branch was low, and young college graduates could take on important responsibilities after working in the factory for one or two years. Now that the first branch is developing well, why don't they directly ask for a higher level?

Do you think it's possible that some young person's qualifications are not yet up to par?"

So they gradually expanded the subordinate departments of the first branch, and when all the departments were fully staffed, the first branch would be upgraded naturally, and by then the young college students would be old enough and qualified enough. "

"."

Director Wan's wife asked in shock, "You don't mean to say that the entire factory was created for one person, do you?"

Lao Wan smiled bitterly and said, "I actually have never figured out why the first branch factory has developed into what it is now in just two or three years? Is it just because of Li Ye's few wonderful ideas?

Others might believe it, but I have worked in finance for decades and I don't believe in such nonsense.
It is easy to shout slogans and to talk big, but a penny can make a hero fall. The big companies are watching how much funding there is every year and which one is the most efficient. No matter how good your idea is, it is not your turn to get the money.

But how can a bank lend 200 million to a small factory with 300 employees? Why can foreign investors lend them tens of millions? Unless there is someone who is extraordinary.

"Oh~, it's a pity that I realized it too late."

Section Chief Wan laughed at himself: "I used to have the same idea as Niu Hongzhang. Why should the Light Automobile Company let a few outsiders have the final say? But now think about it. Without those outsiders, where would there be a branch factory?"

Wan Kechang's wife stared at her husband blankly. After a long while, she asked complainingly, "Why did you become enemies with that young man? You two have always been indifferent to each other. It's all because of that old man who used you as a tool. Why don't you grow up more careful?"

Director Wan smiled bitterly and said, "I just thought about this. I can guess that Li Ye has a background, but I didn't even dare to guess this kind of background before."

Director Wan Ke really didn't dare to guess.

A Peking University graduate who is assigned to a small unit like theirs doesn't look like a capable kid at all. Who would come here if they have any ability?

Then, a small branch factory expanded to this size in just two or three years like a miracle. If you say that it was built just to be a stepping stone for Li Ye, even now, Director Wan Ke still finds it unrealistic.

Wan Kechang's wife got anxious and grabbed her husband's sleeve and said, "Then go and tell Lao Niu and the others! It was Lao Niu and Lao Yang who started this matter. Tell them to find a solution as soon as possible. If you transfer now, all your previous decades of work will be in vain."

"Who am I to tell him? What would it matter if I told them? And why would I tell them?"

During the meeting today, Li Ye scolded Lao Wan severely, but Section Chief Yang, Section Chief Cheng and other old friends seemed to be laughing at Section Chief Wan.

And when Li Ye threw out a little bit of evidence, those people secretly added insult to injury and blamed Lao Wan for the mess.

So there are two victims in today's meeting, one is Park In-ji and the other is Lao Wan.

So why should I remind them?

A cruel smile appeared on Director Wan's face, as if he had already foreseen that in the near future, these villains who stabbed him in the back would be bitten to death by a wolf in sheep's clothing.

It was a bloody, tragic death.
