1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 100 Cause and effect entanglement
In recent days, big scandals have been exposed one after another in the drilling company, and naturally became the topic of conversation among employees after dinner.

On the roof of a row of houses in the agency’s staff quarters.

Student Lu Yingying, who was sitting cross-legged on the tiles, burped a little, and then said excitedly, "Hey, hey, hey, Yang Shidan, have you heard that nearly a hundred family members who joined the Mo Mo Bai Zha group blocked the Xintai Management Company and the General Manager's Office today, demanding an explanation and a solution from the company... That scene was quite spectacular... Tsk tsk!"

Yang Mo felt uncomfortable with the shaking of this girl's white thighs... This girl's skin was originally whiter than that of ordinary people. The weather had been hot these days, and the first thing this girl did when she got home was to change into cooler shorts and a vest. She didn't think there was anything wrong with sitting with her legs spread out in front of a man wearing such an outfit.

After taking a bite of the cucumber, Yang Mo glared at her unhappily: "You don't want to join in the fun, do you? I warn you, your status is different now, don't join in the fun... These family members will probably make a fuss for another two days. In the next few days, you should avoid them when you see them. Don't even join in the fun! You are not allowed to stand by and watch!"

He knew this girl's personality too well. She was definitely the type who liked to join in the fun, but she happened to be the quality control manager... Others might be able to go over to take a look at the fun, but with this girl's current position, if she just stood over there like this, in the eyes of someone with a keen eye, the nature of the matter would change.

It just so happens that the company's attitude towards this matter is somewhat ambiguous. According to regulations, any form of gathering and parade is not allowed in the office area. In the past, these family members might dare to block Xintai Company, but they would never dare to surround the general manager's office... But they surrounded the general manager's office, and neither the security department nor the public security department had any intention of dispersing the crowd.

It is not difficult to see that this matter was instigated by someone, and this matter will not be settled unless public opinion is hyped up to the peak within two or three days...If Tugou stands near the family members at this time, he will immediately become fodder for some people to write articles.

Hearing Yang Mo's stern warning, Lu Yingying smiled bitterly, stretched her limbs, and tilted her head: "Hey, Yang Shidan, the Discipline Inspection Section has been taking people from the Service Brigade and the Asset Management Section these days. I can see that more than a dozen people have been called out. After Section Chief He, even the deputy section chiefs of the Service Brigade have taken away two, and the deputy section chief of the Asset Management Section has also taken away one... What do you think, will these two sections be wiped out?"

It was no secret that two guests suddenly came to the general manager's office of the company. Everyone could guess why the Discipline Inspection Department had been unusually diligent in the past two days.

It's just that the Disciplinary Inspection Section's move this time was really too big. The seven or eight people who were called over were all the backbones and powerful figures of the two departments. Seeing that the Disciplinary Inspection Section showed no signs of stopping, everyone was happy but also worried. If it goes on like this, after this incident, whether the two departments, especially the service brigade, will continue to exist... This matter is related to the continuation of the job establishment, which is a top priority in state-owned enterprises.

Yang Mo reached out and pulled the girl's trouser legs together with a tired look... Sister, you dare to pose like this while wearing such loose shorts, have you never thought of the word "exposure" in your little head?
Lu Yingying waved her legs nonchalantly: "It's okay, I'm wearing something under my pants. Besides, there's no one here...Okay, stop nagging me. Tell me quickly, is it possible for the company to directly cancel the service brigade department?"

Are you wearing anything underneath?

Yang Mo's forehead darkened. He certainly knew what this guy was talking about, but...

With a somewhat speechless sigh, Yang Mo ignored this carefree girl and began to ponder...

………………

Unlike the Asset Management Department, the Service Brigade is a very special department with a strong sense of the times.

Although this department has great power, in the final analysis, its original purpose was to provide logistical support for the company's employees and solve their worries... Whether it was housing allocation, welfare procurement, clothing procurement, employment arrangements for family members, etc., its original purpose was to do miscellaneous work for the employees.

In other words, no matter how powerful the service brigade is now or how great its influence is, if we look at it from the perspective of legal legitimacy, it is just a logistics department "between formal and informal" and "temporarily established based on the requirements of the times and environment."

For a production unit like a drilling company, its existence can be said to be "necessary", but it can also be said to be "non-necessary"... Especially since the company also has an alternative department like Xintai Management Company, when necessary, the necessity of its existence can be questioned.

As luck would have it, the service brigade in charge of all labour insurance and welfare payments is a well-known lucrative department. With the advancement of the company's housing upgrades in recent years, everyone has to smile when talking to others. As for things like giving gifts and treating people to meals, those are even more commonplace... After being bullied for so long, it would be a lie to say that people in the company have no objections.

Seeing that the service team was faced with such a big problem, with new and old grudges coming together, plus a piece of fat meat right in front of them, many people in the company were excited.

It is said that someone has proposed to abolish the service brigade department at the company's regular meeting, and his arguments ranged from legal orthodoxy to functional decomposition and employee transfer. The message conveyed is very clear... a great opportunity is before us, it's time to fight the local tyrants and divide the land!

Although it was a bit strange to hear such a slogan full of inexplicable meaning coming from a frontline department like the Geological Brigade, it is undeniable that many people were moved.

………………

"I don't think the company is likely to abolish the service brigade. Don't be fooled by the current situation. But when they really want to pursue procedural justice, Mr. Wang will most likely come out and call a halt."

After thinking about it, Yang Mo gave his own opinion.

"Eh? Why...is it because this matter involves too many things and has a bad impact?" Lu Yingying was surprised to hear that the answer was not what she had imagined.

Yang Mo shook his head. "Now is not the same as before. Reforms are being carried out everywhere. Although the service team was so awesome before, the abolition of such a logistics department really has no impact... As for the involvement... Sister, do you think that given the current situation of the company, Mr. Wang will care about the so-called impact if he has a legitimate reason?"

Lu Yingying was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately.

This year is the year of change of leadership, and the game between various factions in the company has become transparent. Anyone with eyes knows what they are fighting for... Compared with the throne of the top leader, a little fluctuation and influence is nothing!
"Then...what is it for?" Lu Yingying's face was full of confusion.

She really couldn't understand why Mr. Wang didn't kill all the people in the service team when there was such a good opportunity in front of him... The opportunity to use the power of the Nine Heavens Thunder to wipe out the hostile bandits is not so easy to come by, and it is no secret that the service team and Mr. Wang don't get along well.

Yang Mo shrugged: "Because Mr. Wang is from Shanghai, Section Chief He of the service team is from Guizhou, and Deputy General Manager Xia who is in charge of logistics is from Sichuan... It's that simple!"

Tugou was confused after hearing this and immediately became dissatisfied: "What kind of excuse is this... Hey, hey, hey, Yang Shitan, explain yourself clearly!" Yang Mo saw this guy raising his toes to point at him as if to protest, and sighed speechlessly: "Hey, hey, hey, girl, do you dare to do it any more... You're showing off!"

Seeing the girl hurriedly put down her thigh, Yang Mo used the distraction method while she was still waiting to pounce: "Hey, girl, do you still remember the sudden change of mind of the Industrial and Agricultural Science Department?"

As expected, Lu Yingying, who was about to grit her teeth and settle accounts with this jerk, was immediately diverted: "The Industry and Agriculture Department changed its mind? You mean... they suddenly stood up and supported the transfer of the intangible asset evaluation rights to the Finance Department?"

This incident caused a big stir, and afterwards the Asset Management Department was almost ready to roll up their sleeves and start a fight with the Industry and Agriculture Department. In addition, Yang Mo never hid anything from Tugou, so she naturally knew the whole story.

Yang Mo nodded: "Yes, that's it... But do you know why Vice President Feng, who is in charge of relations between workers and peasants, suddenly turned to President Wang?"

Lu Yingying blinked her eyes: "Why?"

Yang Mo smiled and said, "Because Mr. Wang is from Shanghai, and Vice President Feng is from southern Yunnan... Vice President Shen, who is in charge of the asset management department, is also from southern Yunnan."

Hearing Yang Mo keeping things a secret again, Lu Yingying was so angry that her teeth itched: "Asshole, of course I know that Mr. Wang is from Shanghai and Vice-President Feng is from southern Yunnan...but what is the connection between them?"

Yang Mo laughed and blocked the cucumber stem that was flying towards him: "It does matter, and it matters a lot!"

As he said this, he wiped his hands on his vest nonchalantly, and then explained: "You know, southern Yunnan and Shanghai have a deep connection... Although seriously speaking, this connection may not be as good as outsiders think, but no matter what, with this cause and effect, the relationship between the province and the city is definitely unique in the country."

After hearing this, Lu Yingying thought hard for a moment: "Are you talking about... the educated youth who went to the countryside?"

Yang Mo nodded: "Yes, as the main place where Shanghai's educated youth went to the countryside, no matter how future generations evaluate it, you must admit that southern Yunnan, the poorest province in the country at that time, solved a huge problem for Shanghai (those who are not clear about the complete background of the educated youth going to the countryside, please look up the information yourself, it is not convenient to expand here)"

"It is precisely because of this cause and effect that Shanghai immediately launched various forms of support to southern Yunnan after the reform and opening up, even though they were not rich at that time... And you must understand that this support was not just for show, but was done with all their strength, so strong that they almost had to use their own industrial foundation... No matter how we think of the people in Shanghai, you must admit that they did a good job! (Speaking of a little-known fact, Shanghai's support for southern Yunnan was much earlier than the country's one-to-one assistance project)"

Blinking her eyes, Lu Yingying seemed to understand something: "So President Wang actually has a lot of influence on Vice President Feng? Even though Vice President Feng is usually a little indifferent to President Wang, when President Wang asked him for help, he still stood up without hesitation?"

Yang Mo shrugged. "Although your description sounds like a melodramatic plot from a martial arts novel, it's pretty much like that... The love-hate relationship between this province and this city has its own hidden story and scenery, which can be called a bad fate. But from a macro perspective, the closeness of the relationship between these two regions is definitely unique in the country. "

"In fact, Vice President Feng doesn't act close to President Wang on a daily basis. That's not to paralyze others, but for some reason, many people in southern Yunnan really can't get close to Shanghai people (I recommend watching an old TV series "The Debt")."

"But the problem is that the drilling company is a central enterprise, and it is a central enterprise in the oil system... The relationship between this industry and local authorities is far from as simple as you think... Whether you like it or not, when you sit in a certain position in this system, some things cannot only consider your personal emotions... In fact, this is why President Wang lowered himself to ask Vice President Feng for help, even though Vice President Feng was unwilling, he still stood up for him."

Lu Yingying nodded, not quite understanding, probably understanding what was going on... they were entangled in love and hatred, and finally became a pair of little enemies who loved and hated each other! This kind of situation is very common in martial arts novels.

Seeing her like this, Yang Mo did not discuss the topic in depth. In fact, the entanglement between southern Yunnan and Shanghai was far from as superficial as the girl thought... In later generations, a certain municipal investment company in southern Yunnan could not hold on, and it was rumored that Shanghai would provide support of hundreds of billions to save the market. Although it was confirmed through unofficial channels that this was just a rumor, it also showed on the other hand how deeply the two regions were involved.

Seeing that Yang Mo had stopped talking, Lu Yingying urged, "What about the others? Why did you say that President Wang would not dissolve the service team? ... What does this have to do with the fact that Section Chief He of the service team is from Guizhou, and Vice President Xia, who is in charge of logistics, is from Sichuan?"

Yang Mo sighed: "It's very simple. Judging from Mr. Wang's past behavior, he is more inclined to the Dongying Command... This is actually one of the fundamental reasons why he doesn't get along with many department heads;"

"Now that we understand the position of this top leader, many things can be directly deduced;"

"The reason why they showed no mercy to Section Chief He was, on the one hand, because Section Chief He was a member of the Southwest local faction, and his position was to the left... At the same time, there was no significant cause and effect relationship between Guizhou and Shanghai, so when the opportunity came, they would naturally suppress those who should be suppressed and ignore those who should be ignored;"

"But Vice President Xia, who is in charge of logistics, is from Bashu. Although he is also a local southwesterly, and Bashu currently has no significant entanglement with Shanghai, the problem is... the cabinet has always planned to form two complementary industrial centers in Qilu and Bashu... Under the will of the top leaders, the relationship between Qilu and Bashu is a bit subtle, but generally speaking, it is still relatively close... Therefore, for this reason, President Wang is unlikely to completely embarrass Vice President Xia, as this would be considered as a lack of overall perspective... The relationship between them is easy to understand, right?"

Lu Yingying just felt like her head was as big as a bucket... The mess in a production unit under a central enterprise actually involved so many twists and turns, damn it, are they going to let people live?

So now in the company, only people from Guizhou and Guangxi are suffering the most?
Eh?
Guizhou?

It seems... Director Zhang is from Guizhou.

Lu Yingying let out a sigh and was about to say something when she suddenly focused her sight and saw a familiar figure walking from the alley in the distance.

He stood up suddenly, and then climbed down the roof along the tree trunk like a monkey.

"Sister Mu, you're finally back!"
