1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 281 Becoming a regular employee
It's New Year's Day again soon.

The singing and dancing continued. As a company whose main business is oil drilling, Southwest Drilling Company No. 1, which had just finished its last production campaign, put all its energy into the preparations for the New Year's Eve party.

This is also their custom. After all, as one of the three major evening parties of state-owned enterprises at that time, unlike the May Day and National Day evening parties, the New Year's Day evening party can not only be regarded as a celebration party after the completion of the production tasks of the year, but also has some functions of the Spring Festival evening party. Therefore, every New Year's Day evening party, the drilling company will hold a grand event, which can even be regarded as extravagant and wasteful.

Of course, unlike those regular and contract workers in government departments who put most of their energy into program preparation and are eager to make a splash at the party, those contract workers stationed in peripheral/affiliated enterprises not only appear to be much busier, but their focus is not on the party.

On December 12, Qingfeng Food suddenly held its annual work summary meeting ahead of schedule.

The reason why it is said to be in advance is that according to current practice, the annual work summary meeting is usually held ten days or a week before the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival in 1990 was January 1, which was a full month away from December 27.

This obviously strange annual work summary meeting was, as expected, quite interesting.

In addition to the usual reporting of Qingfeng Food’s sales performance, employment scale, and corporate profits for this year, and locking in the year-end bonus amounts for various departments, cadres at all levels, and employees in advance, this annual work summary meeting also had two proposals that were passed that are very worthy of reflection.

First, after the beginning of next spring, Qingfeng Food will begin preparing for a national layout.

In order to better achieve expansion and clear the huge obstacles that may be encountered during the expansion process, all shareholders of Qingfeng Food unanimously agreed that, if necessary, they would inject a portion of their shares into the equity pool to absorb social resources with strategic value.

And the upper limit of shares in this equity pool is... 17%.

This is somewhat puzzling. After all, if there is a real need to attract social capital and valuable new shareholders, the worst that can be done is to open up to capital injections, and then dilute and recalculate the shareholding ratios according to their respective shareholding ratios. There is no need to return the shares to the equity pool in this way.

But what is even more puzzling is that this plan, which would obviously seriously damage the interests of shareholders, was passed unanimously by all levels of Qingfeng Foods. Moreover, according to gossip, none of the company executives and shareholder representatives who attended the meeting looked even slightly reluctant.

Second, the equity incentive plan promised at the beginning of this year was fulfilled ahead of schedule, and Lv Yingying and four other company managers received a total of 4% of the company's equity.

Among them, Lv Yingying alone held 2% of the shares due to her outstanding performance and the huge role she played in many major events, while the other four were each allocated 0.5% of the shares.

However, it should be noted that although these shares are original shares and have corresponding voting rights and dividend rights, in order to obtain these shares, a concerted action agreement must be signed first;

In addition, since these shares are allocated under the incentive plan, they are valid for only one year and will be allocated again at the end of next year. Once you leave Qingfeng Food, you will be deemed to have automatically given up this part of the shares.

In fact, many people have been mentally prepared for the first part of this resolution. Qingfeng Food was supported by Yang Mo, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is the shadow helmsman of Qingfeng Food... As his childhood friend and spokesperson, Lu Yingying, even if she has not achieved any results, but for some unspoken reasons, she still cannot escape the 2% of the shares.

In fact, a big reason for holding the annual work summary meeting ahead of schedule was because of Lu Yingying’s consideration… The quota for regularization of the drilling company’s contract workers would be issued soon, and they had to assign the shares to Tugou before the list was announced. Otherwise, if the shares were distributed after he became a regular worker, Xintai Management Company would have an excuse to influence the voting rights of the 2% shares. Although this situation might not necessarily happen, once it did, it was something Liu Xianfu and others did not want to see.

But the "one-year validity period" resolution at the end really shocked everyone. Most people couldn't understand why Yang Mo would agree to such a resolution that would only keep the fat in his mouth but not let it go into his stomach.

That’s right, anyone with a discerning eye can see that such a resolution would never be put forward for discussion at the conference without Yang Mo’s approval... Since Yang Mo was able to create the current Qingfeng Food, he definitely has the ability to bring it back to its original form.

However, unlike those people outside who were scratching their heads, Tugou, the person involved, did not take the matter to heart at all.

At this moment, her mind was on something else.

………………

"Wow~ The houses in this phase are so beautiful!"

Standing in front of a small open space, Tugou looked at the rows of new houses that were undergoing the final decoration work and exclaimed in admiration from the bottom of his heart.

To be honest, although the actual living area of ​​these houses is still less than 50 square meters, they look much more beautiful than those houses in the government agency staff quarters because they are equipped with Western-style small roofs and a lot of reddish-brown tiles.

Miss Mu laughed: "Of course, the company is not short of money. In addition, starting from this year, the company will gradually increase the proportion of employees with higher education... Recruiting so many college students and even graduate students, we have to let them feel the sincerity of the company, right?"

As he spoke, he pointed at the uneven tiles on the wall and said, "See those tiles? They are cut from volcanic rocks and hammered into this shape. They are not cheap... These houses are not only stylishly built, but also have water supply, electricity, heating, and sewage facilities that are much better than where I live now. They even have small bathrooms... Speaking of which, my sister is also very lucky. She can be assigned to a dormitory like this as soon as she became a regular employee. When I first came here last year, I couldn't even imagine it!"

Although these houses may seem like nothing more than that to a certain reborn person, at most they are at the same level as the low-rent housing in later generations, and cannot be compared with those antique-looking small courtyards in the government agency staff quarters; but everything must be compared.

Seriously speaking, this batch of newly built houses are indeed much better than the ones built when Yang Mo was converted to a regular employee. Even if you use the company's previous standards to measure, these houses should not be touched by contract workers who have been converted to regular employees.

It is undeniable that the status of contract workers in such state-owned enterprises is not very high. Even if they are converted to regular employees, they are often looked down upon.

Have you seen the hundreds of makeshift shacks made of asbestos tiles, blue bricks and hollow bricks on both sides of the highway?
That is the residential area for contract workers of non-front-line units and their families. Even if you are converted to a regular employee, you still have to live there until a dormitory is available!

Hearing that this house was better than the one his sister Mu lived in, Tugou suddenly laughed foolishly. He looked at Miss Mu a little embarrassedly, and then he became a little worried: "But, the list of regular employees will not be released until after New Year's Day. There are so many contract workers in the company. It's not certain whether I can be regular employees!"

Looking at this silly girl who was worried about gains and losses, Mu Liya laughed and said, "As long as the personnel department is not blind, Yingying, your regularization is a sure thing. Not to mention that the company has 150 regularization quotas this year, even if there are only or like in previous years, with the popularity of Qingfeng Food this year and the achievements made by you as the quality control manager, it is almost certain that you will become a regular employee."

As she spoke, Mu Liya helped Tugou smooth the hair on his forehead that was messed up by the northwest wind, and her tone was a little teasing: "What's more, even if you don't do anything, with your relationship with Yang Mo, how dare the Personnel Department not give face to Section Chief Yang? ... The Personnel Department is not the Organization Department, and they are very afraid of Yang Mo!"

This is a public case. About last month, eleven employees, including a deputy-section-level team member in Momo Baitou, failed to meet the assessment standards and made continuous mistakes at work. Yang Mo compiled a list of names and directly brought them to the heads of the personnel and organization departments at a company meeting, demanding that these people be transferred to other departments.

In Yang Mo's words, Mo Mo Bai Tou does not support idle people, let alone useless people.

The head of the Personnel Department said that it was difficult to handle Yang Mo's request. After all, in current state-owned enterprises, personnel transfers are an extremely troublesome matter. Not to mention that other departments may not have suitable vacancies, just doing ideological work for these people before the diversion is a headache... These people are not contract workers, and due to various reasons, they are difficult to deal with.

What's more, Momo Baitou has just become a full-level department, and it has to "lay off" eleven employees in the first month. Although Yang Mo said that as many people are laid off as fresh blood is added, it is obvious that things like today's may happen every month in the future. If it really sets a precedent, their personnel department may as well stop doing other things and just clean up Yang Mo's mess.

But Yang Mo was extremely strong in this matter, saying that if the Personnel Department was unwilling to clean up the mess, he would confiscate the office keys of these people and let them stay at home and sleep all day.

In addition, he will exercise his authority as section chief to ask the Discipline Inspection Section to investigate on the grounds that they are suspected of leaking commercial secrets, and ask the financial team of Momo Baitou to suspend the payment of wages to these people until they are proven innocent.

The implication is very clear. If your personnel department refuses to cooperate with my work, I will fire these people. Then we will see whether their families will go to your side to make trouble or have the courage to come to my side to block the door.

Hearing Yang Mo's harsh words, the head of the personnel department almost collapsed on the spot.

God have mercy on you. In a department like Momobaitou, the crime of "leaking commercial secrets" is too easy to justify.

As long as your project is not negotiated according to the requirements, standards and conditions of your superiors, Yang Mo may suspect that the negotiation failed because you leaked business secrets... Even if you accidentally bring an unimportant document home one day, he may suspect that you are leaking or even selling business secrets.

Don't think this is a joke. You know, last month, the focus of Momo Baitou's work was to negotiate various projects with non-governmental exchange groups from various countries... In the current environment, foreign affairs are no small matter. And if any project negotiation fails, leaks are always the first suspect. Therefore, if Yang Mo uses this reason to ask the Discipline Inspection Department to investigate those people, no one can find a reason to object, and no one dares to take a huge political risk to object.

Of course, no matter whether you can prove your innocence afterwards, if you are investigated by the Disciplinary Inspection Department under this pretext, your future career will be basically ruined... This is the most cruel thing.

But what Yang Mo said was right. After learning the whole story, the families of those people would never dare to come and block the door of Momo Baitou... Momo Baitou now directly or indirectly controls the jobs of thousands of family members of employees. Unless their families don't want to work anymore, they will never dare to block the door of their last retreat.

So it is foreseeable that the Personnel Department will be in a state of chaos by then... They don't dare to mess with Momo Baitou, so how can they not mess with your Personnel Department? If your Personnel Department was not lazy and cunning, and refused to cooperate with Momo Baitou's work and reasonable requests, how could our husband be pulled over by the Discipline Inspection Department for investigation?

Therefore, after being threatened by Yang Mo and persuaded by Zhang Wenshun, Feng Yuan and others, the head of the personnel department had no choice but to accept the trouble on the spot.

Although the matter was resolved on the spot, Yang Mo's ruthless and decisive behavior left a strong psychological shadow on the head of the Personnel Department. Therefore, as Miss Mu said, even if Tugou did nothing at Qingfeng Food this year and just lived a life of idleness and waiting to die, with Yang Mo's relationship there, the Personnel Department would definitely not dare to block her from becoming a regular employee.

The face between colleagues is actually secondary. The key point is... who the hell knows what kind of trouble Yang Mo, this madman, will do when he is unhappy!

………………

Hearing his sister Mu's joke, Tugou suddenly felt embarrassed, but the slight uneasiness in his heart disappeared without a trace.

In fact, she didn't care at all about what others said about her success being so smooth because of Yang Mo.

Firstly, after nearly a year of hard work, she was confident that her performance was worthy of a formal job;
Secondly...

If you have the guts, why don’t you find a childhood friend who has such ability?
Thinking of this, a certain silly girl became happy again: "Sister Mu, how about I exchange the keys with you after I get them? Anyway, Zhang Lin has a say in the service team now... Just like when you exchanged houses with Yang Shidan, you live in the new house and I live in yours."

As he spoke, Tugou patted his swollen chest generously and said, "Don't worry, I'm strong and can withstand cold! I don't feel cold at all living with you!"

Behind the window of Miss Mu's current house is a fish pond. Anyone who has lived next to a pond knows that this kind of location is colder than other places.

It so happened that the winter temperature in Qilu this year was lower than in previous years. In addition, there was no stove in Miss Mu's room, and she only had two radiators that malfunctioned from time to time for heating. As a result, she, who was used to a life of luxury, fell ill last week.

It was obvious that Tugou felt sorry for his sister Mu's not-so-strong body and wanted her to live in a warmer house... She was not lying. Children who grew up in the countryside are undoubtedly more resistant to cold. With her body, two radiators are more than enough.

Mu Liya looked at Tugou with some emotion, but finally shook her head: "No, I'm used to living there. There are a lot of things in the house, and it's troublesome to move... Besides, didn't the company replace a set of boiler equipment this week? I guess the heating of those two radiators will not malfunction again in the future."

Tugou thought about it and agreed. With the person in charge of the boiler room dismissed and a new boiler urgently replaced, his sister Mu would probably not encounter the situation like last week where the radiator remained cold all night without being noticed.

Although Miss Mu's house is not very big, it is filled with a lot of strange and eccentric furniture. Whether it is moving or rearranging, it will take a lot of effort.

Seeing that Lu Yingying was not bothered by this issue, Mu Liya breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't want to move house, and actually had some other little thoughts, but she was too embarrassed to say them out loud.

Seeing Tugou's expression of longing for the new house, Mu Liya said inexplicably: "It will take at most half a month to move into the new house, and then you will have to move out from Yang Mo's place... Yingying, don't you feel reluctant at all?"

Tugou blinked his eyes, his face full of confusion: "Why are you reluctant?"

Miss Mu was stunned: "Um, um...you will have to live alone in your own house from now on, won't you feel uncomfortable?"

Classmate Tugou rolled his eyes and said, "Come on! I've lived with Yangshidan for almost a year, and I've had enough... You don't know, that guy is incredibly lazy!"

As he said this, he counted on his fingers: "Cooking, washing dishes, sweeping the floor, fetching water, washing clothes, tidying the house, hanging sheets, the number of times he helped can be counted on five fingers, and I did it all by myself!"

"And Sister Mu, you don't know how outrageous this guy is. I told him to help wash his clothes, but he even threw his stinky socks and underwear to me!"

"You can't say anything about him, because he'll just get defensive if you say anything about him... something like people who grew up naked don't have so many taboos; something like we're all good brothers, he's never treated me like a woman; something like he doesn't mind me treating him like a woman, like a good sister, blah blah blah... these are still considered good things, sometimes the things he says are even more infuriating, making you want to smother him to death with a millstone!"

As if she remembered some words that she considered to be personal attacks, Lu Yingying's chest rose and fell violently, and her face was full of indignation: "Sister Mu, Yang Shidan's mouth is so smelly sometimes that it makes you want to kill someone... You don't know, in the past year living with him, I have been sleeping with my hands tied at night... I'm afraid that I can't help it and rush out to beat this guy into a cripple!"

Shaking his fist fiercely, Tugou wrinkled his nose: "Now I am about to escape from the sea of ​​suffering, and no longer need to rely on others... and you tell me you are afraid that I am not used to it?... Come on! This is called escaping from the devil's cave, okay? I can't wait to move out tomorrow!"

At this point, Tugou's face was a little irritated. "No, no, no, it's okay if you don't mention it. Once you mention it, I feel like I don't want to stay in that broken yard for even a minute... I dare not drink secretly in the house tonight. I'm afraid that if I drink too much, I will really settle the score with Yangshidan, the bastard. If I really beat him into the hospital, it will be a lot of fun!"

Miss Mu found it interesting and couldn't help laughing.

She knew that Yang Mo had two completely different faces in front of others and behind their backs. As their relationship grew closer, she had seen them insult each other without scruples.

In fact, even before Yang Mo became the section chief, many people wanted to make him insult others but were unable to do so... Since the relationship is not that serious, you have no right to make him insult others.

However, seeing Tugou's disdainful attitude, although there might be some exaggeration in it, Miss Mu felt relieved all of a sudden;
She was not too worried that Yang Mo had other thoughts about Lu Yingying.

In fact, from her observation, that bastard Yang Mo really didn't regard this childhood friend who became more and more beautiful the more he looked at her as a woman. Even her gender was blurred, let alone any other thoughts.

On the other hand, she was very worried that Tugou might have other ideas about Yang Mo.

Although Yang Mo himself never seemed to think of himself as being so great, Miss Mu was very clear about how lethal a man like him, who might be only slightly handsome but had outstanding abilities, held a high position at a young age, had an occasionally humorous personality, and was completely lacking in the frivolity that a young man should have, could be to young women.

But now it seems...it seems that my sister Yingying doesn't actually have that kind of thoughts about Yang Mo?

That’s right, after all, the two of them grew up together naked, and with twenty years of friendship, there is no longer any novelty to it!
Ok……

It seems that what Am said is right. Only men can develop admiration for their childhood sweethearts, and it is basically impossible for women to do so.

Thinking of this, Miss Mu's expression became more cheerful: "Hey, speaking of Yang Mo... Sister Yingying, where did that guy Yang Mo go?"

Tugou curled his lips: "Who knows about him? He finally has a weekend without overtime, but Yangshidan that guy actually ran to Linpan... I guess he is eating skewers and drinking with Zhang Jun and Chen Feiyu, having a good time!"

Miss Mu suddenly became dissatisfied: "I even had someone bring over an eight-year-old goose today to change his taste and show him the cooking skills I have been studying hard for half a month. But he actually went over to fool around with Zhang Jianjun and the others... I am so pissed!"

As she spoke, Miss Mu put her arm around Tugou's shoulders and snorted in a childish manner, "Forget it, that guy deserves not to have this chance. Sister Yingying, let's go back to the house and stew the goose around the stove... Then we'll leave a pile of bones for him to eat, so that guy will be greedy to death!"

Stewing goose around the stove must be in Yang Mo's room. Miss Mu's room does not have a natural gas stove... nor is there a pipeline to build a natural gas stove for her.

Seeing his sister Mu's increasingly unconcealed attitude, Tugou nodded viciously: "Yes! Eat all the goose meat, don't leave him a piece, make that animal greedy to death!"

As she spoke, Lu Yingying lowered her head and kicked the frozen soil on the ground hard, as if that piece of soil, as hard as stone, was some ungrateful bastard.

But what Miss Mu didn't realize was,
At the moment he lowered his head, Tugou, who always gave people the impression of being carefree, had a deep sense of loneliness in his eyes...
