1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 27 The essence of dealing with things is to deal with people

As the selection of regular workers is determined, the diversion and return of those who are eliminated are also proceeding in an orderly manner.

In less than ten days, half of the desks in the general office were empty.

In this regard, the eight lucky survivors were certainly grateful for having escaped death, but seeing those familiar faces from the past sadly leaving, they could not help but feel a bit of inexplicable melancholy.

Of course, not everyone would behave in such a childish manner.

At the very least, facing their friends leaving one after another, Yang Mo, Su Yu and Bao Shuxian did not show any sadness on their faces.

As a reborn person whose age in both lives combined could have been buried directly in the ground, Yang Mo had seen too many such scenes of breakups and reunions and had no feelings about them at all.

As for Su Yu, due to his family education, he has a very rational attitude towards some things and a different perspective - this is not the future, and this is not some bullshit dismissal. Even if these people are not accepted by the drilling company, they will be diverted to local enterprises and will not starve to death. It is purely hypocritical to cry over such a small thing.

As for why a certain workplace rookie with glasses was indifferent;

The reason is so simple...

Bao Shuxian is very busy, very busy, busy to the point of dying. How could he have the time to go to Spain and feel sad for others?

………………

Since the social gathering, Yang Mo and Bao Shuxian have become much closer, so Bao Shuxian also has a nickname that sounds rather awkward.

"Hey, hey, hey, Four-eyed Old Four, do you need me to call an ambulance for you in advance and have it wait in the yard? Look at you, I'm afraid you'll collapse in the next second!"

Yang Mo looked at Bao Shuxian with red eyes, picked up the thermos and added some water to his teacup with some pity, then asked half-jokingly, half-seriously.

Bao Shuxian, with messy hair, raised his head with a sad face: "Brother, please help me. Can't you see that I'm almost exhausted after working overtime for three consecutive days? It's ok for you not to lend a hand, but you just stand there and say sarcastic words... I really made the wrong friends!"

Seeing this guy actually started to swear, Yang Mo was immediately amused and sat down on Bao Shuxian's desk: "Who told you to be so reckless and take the initiative to sign up to write materials for other departments? Now you know how powerful it is, don't you?"

Bao Shuxian glared at him angrily when he heard this: "Did you know that writing materials is a huge pitfall? That's why you didn't know anything during the initial screening process!?"

Yang Mo shrugged and looked at him innocently: "What do you think?"

Bao Shuxian could only feel his teeth chattering: "I knew it! You were just pretending to be stupid... How can a college student forget all the knowledge of biology and geography he learned in junior high and high school right after graduation!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Comrade Bao Shuxian, who had entered rampage mode, jumped up and viciously clamped his arms around Yang Mo's neck: "I will die with you, you bastard! If you had come to help write the materials, how could I have ended up in such a miserable situation!?"

kindness……

I forgot to say.

Of the three people who were originally selected to write the materials, only Bao Shuxian was left.

This is not surprising, in any government department, the unlucky guy who writes materials is an indispensable but insignificant person, so keeping one person is enough - the General Office is not really a miscellaneous department, and it is already quite considerate to assign one person to write materials for other departments.

At the beginning, Bao Shuxian was complacent, thinking that his abilities were indeed outstanding and his luck was good enough, which was why he survived the fierce competition among three choices.

But soon, he found that he couldn't laugh anymore.

It's very simple. Since you are the only one left to write the materials, the work that was originally done by three people naturally falls on you alone.

You know, when the three of them were writing materials together before, the huge workload made Bao Shuxian exhausted, let alone now?

Just look, since the day before yesterday, this guy, except for sleeping for five hours in the middle, has spent the rest of the time buried in the pile of materials - according to his extremely naive idea, if Yang Mo had been willing to sign up to write the materials, with one more person, he would definitely not have ended up in such a miserable situation.

………………

Seeing the two of them laughing and playing, Su Yu also came over to join in the fun. Only after the rest of the office turned their eyes over did the three of them stop in disappointment.

After figuring out the situation, Su Yu flipped through the dozen or so piles of information on Bao Shuxian's desk, and then gloated: "Oh, there are quite a lot... Four Eyes, no, Comrade Lao Si, work hard. Looking at this situation, it will be difficult for you to finish it tomorrow!"

Bao Shuxian was too lazy to care about the two guys using his glasses as a nickname. He lay listlessly on the table: "Tomorrow? If I can finish it tomorrow, I will burn incense and pray to the Buddha... I will be thankful if this pile of junk can be handed in by next Wednesday!"

Next Wednesday?
Today is only Thursday, which means it will take nearly a week to write a dozen simple materials?
Seeing Su Yu's surprised look, Bao Shuxian sighed: "Don't be fooled by the large amount of information here. In fact, there is only one topic for the material to be written... that is, "Report on the Mental Outlook of Department Employees"... The reason why there are so many piles is that all departments have piled up all the reports from previous years."

"Huh? Just need to write a document? Isn't that a simple thing? With your writing skills, it can be done in two days at most. Why does it take so long?" Su Yu flipped through the materials below in surprise. Sure enough, they were all templates of previous years of various departments. Bao Shuxian rolled his eyes: "How can it be that easy!? In the past two years, the company has been a bit strict on the mental outlook of employees. Not only do the departments require that the reporting materials about them be different, but they also require that they have a stance and a high level - it would be fine if one or two departments had such requirements, but nearly twenty departments, big and small, all have such requirements. Who the hell has the ability to write such a thing!"

As he spoke, Bao Shuxian imitated him in a soft voice: "Xiao Bao, this report is very important to us, and now it is handed over to you... You must write it well and vividly from the perspective of our department... You must show the spirit of our service team who work diligently, fear no hardships, and always care about the welfare and supply of the company's employees... Bah! You stay in the office all day long, eating melon seeds and gossiping, and you just need to play mahjong to kill time. How can I write the spirit you want!?"

Watching this guy's vivid performance, Yang Mo and Su Yu couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Seeing the reactions of the two guys, Bao Shuxian became more excited and imitated them in a rough voice: "Xiao Bao, Secretary Chen is on sick leave because of a headache. I heard that you are a pen in the general office, so the report materials of our small fleet are handed over to you... Remember, you must show the excellent style of our small fleet employees who are on call 24 hours a day, checked 24 hours a day, and ready to go out for tough battles at any time... Bah! The small fleet was established to ensure the emergency travel of leaders and the reception of important guests, but those idiots drive out and wander around at any time, and the small cars left in the parking lot are often less than 1/3... Still on call 24 hours a day, ready to fight tough battles at any time? As if everyone is blind!"

Seeing how brilliantly this guy performed stand-up comedy, Yang Mo and Su Yu laughed even louder.

………………

Ten minutes later, Su Yu rubbed his stomach which hurt from laughing. After taking a few breaths, he patted Bao Shuxian on the shoulder and said, "Come on, Lao Si, stop talking. I'm afraid I'll die of laughter if you keep talking... Well, it's really too much trouble for one person to write materials with the same content for so many departments... I'll ask my uncle to find some materials for you to copy... As the saying goes, most articles in the world are copied. Anyway, every year every unit will go through the motions in this regard, and the framework is similar. As long as you don't copy the department names and those sensitive contents, you can get away with it in two days at most."

"Really?!" Bao Shuxian looked at Su Yu with tears in his eyes, as if he wanted to give himself to him.

"Hey, hey, hey, Comrade Lao Si, you look so disgusting... Stop it! Stop it!" Yang Mo hit the guy on the head with a look of disgust.

Then he looked at Su Yu hesitantly: "Hey, Su Yu, this is not a good idea. Although this matter is not a big deal, if someone finds out, your uncle will be in a passive position... Although Linyi is a small place, your uncle's unit is not ordinary after all."

Su Yu naturally knew what Yang Mo meant by this. In fact, he now regretted his nonsense, but since the words had already been spoken, he was too embarrassed to take them back. He waved his hand as if nothing had happened and said, "It's okay. As long as you pay attention, it shouldn't be so easy for others to catch my uncle's little braids once or twice."

Yang Mo noticed his reaction and chuckled, "Actually, it doesn't have to be that troublesome. If you want to save trouble, there are better ways... After all, your uncle's materials are somewhat different from our company's in terms of writing format and word usage, and the department settings are even more different... To put it in detail, if the fourth brother modifies and adjusts these differences line by line, it won't be much easier than writing a document by himself."

After being reminded by Yang Mo, Bao Shuxian nodded in agreement. He naturally knew what unit Su Yu's uncle worked in. There would definitely not be any institutions such as service team, fleet, geological team, and pipe station there. Therefore, if he wanted to copy them all, forget it.

"Old Yang, do you have a better idea?" After hearing Yang Mo's offer to help him out, Su Yu now likes this guy more and more.

Yang Mo shrugged: "First of all, you have to understand that the materials that the various departments gave to our department to write are basically some sample papers used to deal with company inspections, or some unimportant reports... You should be clear about this, right?"

Bao Shuxian and Su Yu nodded, thinking that this was nonsense. They wouldn't trust us to write those important materials or reporting documents that could be shown in front of the company's top management.

Yang Mo smiled and passed out two cigarettes. "Since it's just a sample paper, and since it's for the company's inspection, sometimes there's no need to take it so seriously... Find one or two companies with similar situations to ours to [exchange] the reporting materials of each department, and then modify the names and dates... Hehe, once the names and dates are changed, it will be a newly-made, carefully written document. Who knows, by then, the heads of each department will even praise us for our hard work!"

Any unit with similar situation to our company?

Do you mean...?
Seeing the two guys staring at him with shining eyes, Yang Mo nodded with a smile: "Didn't we meet a lot of good friends at the last social gathering... Wan Bin, Fatty Zhang, Chen Feiyu... In short, there are quite a few people who are forced to write materials... Whether it is the Linpan Refinery or the Linyi Petrochemical Plant, they all belong to the oil unit. Not only are the department settings similar, but the problems of the employees are also similar, so..."

Bao Shuxian's eyes almost turned into Ultraman's. "So we only need the three companies to [exchange] the reporting materials of each department in previous years, and we can easily deal with the problem... This is a genius way of mutual benefit. I guess those guys will cry with joy when they hear us come up with this idea!"

Yang Mo slyly took a bottle of royal jelly from Bao Shuxian's desk for refreshment: "As the saying goes, happiness is better shared than happiness alone. Anyway, we are all here to deal with the task... Why not exchange resources with each other?"

After Bao Shuxian was excited, he immediately had some doubts: "This method is good... But what if the heads of the departments find out... After all, we are all from the oil company, and we have some reports and exchanges with each other. I am afraid that it will be exposed."

Yang Mo sneered, "Brother, can you please use your brain? The materials they use for reporting and communication are not small matters like these? Besides, even if they find out that these materials are copied, so what? As I said before, everyone is dealing with the company's inspection. Even if the heads of the various departments find something wrong, they will definitely turn a blind eye to a small character like you who doesn't need to pay attention to it at all!"

At the end, Yang Mo thought for a moment and added, "Of course, this assumption is based on the premise that our Director Zhang is still a deputy section-level cadre... If one day, some fat guy gets lucky and is promoted to a full section-level cadre, then we must be more cautious... But we will see the specific situation at that time!"

That’s right, Zhang Wenshun, who was hastily transferred to the position of director of the General Office, is actually just a deputy section-level cadre... Putting aside the position, there are simply a lot of cadres with this title in the drilling company.

Just as Comrade Bao Siyan was overjoyed at having obtained the cheating manual; just as Comrade Su Erdai was amazed at someone's sensitivity to struggle...

"Cough~cough!"

Following two coughs, Zhang Wenshun, who had heard someone say bad things about him behind his back, walked in. He glared at Yang Mo unkindly and clapped his hands: "Everyone, please stop what you are doing for a while. I have something to say."

Seeing that this guy didn't lose his temper on the spot, Yang Mo and Su Yu immediately turned into rabbits and jumped back to their seats tactfully.

Seeing the office return to peace, Zhang Wenshun snorted: "Due to the outstanding performance of our department in the past three months, the company's leadership team has decided to add more responsibilities to our general office. The scope of business has also been expanded and changed to a certain extent... So... first of all, let me introduce our new colleague..."

As Zhang Wenshun's fat body moved away, the slender and frail figure behind him was revealed.

"Hi~!"

The moment they saw that beautiful figure, all the rookies present, both men and women, couldn't help but gasp...
