1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 29 Do you want to be promoted to deputy section chief?

the next day.

Early in the morning, Zhang Wenshun arrived at the office on time for work.

After discovering that Mu Liya, who had just arrived, was still sorting documents in her office, Zhang Wenshun greeted her as if he were an ordinary subordinate, and walked out calmly.

"The leaders from Dongying will come to inspect the day after tomorrow. The company leaders attach great importance to it and require all departments to ensure internal hygiene... Look at you, your desks are in such a mess! If they are still in such a mess by then, I will skin you alive!"

Director Zhang first showed off his superior power, then snorted in dissatisfaction: "In order to welcome the leader's inspection, all departments are making preparations for the reception, but due to the tight time and urgent tasks, our General Office also needs to allocate personnel to cooperate."

"Except for Bao Shuxian who will stay in the office to write materials... Cai Zhaofeng, Tu Lili, and Zhao Lin, the three of you follow me. While cooperating with the various departments, learn how they carry out the preparations for the welcoming ceremony!"

The three people whose names were called were immediately excited - they had not had any proper work for more than half a month since they came back from the grassroots level. It would be great if they could go out and stretch their muscles and learn something that might be useful in the future.

Hearing the cheers coming from the hall, Mu Liya in the office just tilted her head to look, then continued to sort out the materials sent by other departments yesterday.

Zhang Wenshun secretly glanced at Mu Liya's office with his peripheral vision. After finding that the other party was still busy, he walked up to Yang Mo calmly and knocked on the table lightly.

"Yang Mo, you come too!" Zhang Wenshun's voice was very low, as if he was just saying it casually.

Yang Mo, who was reading a novel openly, was stunned when he heard this, and pointed at his nose uncertainly: "Me?"

Zhang Wenshun glared at him in dissatisfaction, then knocked on the novels randomly placed on the table: "Who else could it be if it's not you? Hurry up... Look at what you look like now!"

Seeing that this guy seemed to be trying to criticize him, Yang Mo had no choice but to stand up reluctantly and slowly put on his Jiefang bag.

"Hurry up, don't you see that everyone else has already left?" Zhang Wenshun seemed dissatisfied with Yang Mo's slow pace. He gently pulled the strap of Yang Mo's bag and urged him in a low voice.

Looking at the other three people who had just gathered at the door, Yang Mo didn't know why, but he always felt that Director Zhang's behavior today was a little sneaky.

"Let's go! What are you still standing here for?!"

Zhang Wenshun once again secretly scanned a certain office, whispered a greeting, and walked out of the office door first...

………………

As a unit mainly focusing on production tasks, Southwest Drilling Company No. 1 may conduct a lot of production safety inspections every year, but this kind of leadership inspection involving all departments is rare.

Therefore, looking along the way, the large government area looked a bit chaotic today.

"Oh, Director Zhang is here. Our boss said that after he has reviewed the preparatory work on the union's side, he must ask you for help to review it again. We must grasp the details and avoid low-level mistakes... Come on, come on, please come in quickly!" Seeing Zhang Wenshun and his group arrive, a young cadre from the union who was less than 30 years old came up to them with a smile, his face full of admiration for his predecessors.

After a few minutes.

Seeing these two guys not doing their job and just standing there talking about business to each other, Zhao Lin, who was waiting nearby, became a little impatient and simply started chatting as well.

"Hey, Yang Mo, why did you come out too... Don't you guys all want to stay in the office all day and watch fairies?" Zhao Lin looked around and found that Cai Zhaofeng was whispering to Tu Lili. Not wanting to be a third wheel, she simply went to Yang Mo.

Seeing that the girl seemed to be feeling a little upset, Yang Mo couldn't help but laugh.

When Miss Mu came, all the female creatures in the office were completely overwhelmed. Several girls who were originally pretty were completely turned into ugly ducklings. Even the colleagues who were vaguely interested in them seemed to have forgotten about them. In just one day, the biggest dream of the boys in the general office changed from chasing XX girl to being able to quietly admire the beautiful Mu in the office. If she was willing to smile at them, they would be willing to shorten their lifespan by ten years.

"Hey, hey, hey, you can eat whatever you want but you can't say anything you want... When did you see me secretly looking at Manager Mu... I haven't even had time to take care of my own novels and comics!" At this point, Yang Mo thought of the plot that was forced to be interrupted, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhang Wenshun was full of displeasure.

Zhao Lin thought about it and agreed. Yang Mo was quite different from the other people in the office. His laziness and obsession with novels and comics had reached an incomprehensible level.

seem……

Apart from the self-introduction yesterday, Yang Mo never even glanced in the direction of Manager Mu.

Thinking of this, Yang Mo's originally somewhat strange image suddenly became pleasing to Zhao Lin's eyes.

"Hey, didn't you go to the grassroots with Tu Lili before? How come she is getting together with Cai Zhaofeng... Do you feel uncomfortable seeing her flirting in front of you?" Zhao Lin nudged Yang Mo with her hand and said in a joking tone.

Got it!
I know that once these women settle down, their minds will be filled with nothing but love and gossip.

This kind of behavior of Zhao Lin was not uncommon in Yang Mo's previous generation. Basically, after establishing a relationship with her due to emotional issues, she would start to have small quarrels with you and gradually become friends of the opposite sex. Then one day, she would suddenly create some small intimate contact with you and ask you what she is like and whether you want to be a relationship with her, etc. - the childishness of this behavior is roughly equivalent to that of a little boy trying to pursue a girl's best friend and eventually get together with the girl. It is really conspicuous and extremely boring.

After taking a look at the girl, who was only at the level of B+, the pragmatic Yang had no interest in talking to her. He rolled his eyes and said directly, "Let's go. The people from the union are here. Since Director Zhang has already explained it before he came, why don't we go through the details!"

Seeing that this guy was so indifferent to her, Zhao Lin, who had felt that everything was going wrong for the past two days, was immediately furious.

He is indeed a weirdo who spends all day reading novels and comics!

………………

five minutes later.

"Eh? If I'm not mistaken, the photo of the great battle on the display board should have been taken in the Daqing Oilfield... Isn't it a bit inappropriate to put such a photo in the history column of our company?"

Zhao Lin pointed to an enlarged black-and-white photo that was displayed in a prominent position, and looked at the young cadre in charge of the union's inspection work with some uncertainty.

The young cadre carefully observed the objects and clothing in the photo and immediately flew into a rage: "Xiao Ding, you are courting death! If the leaders from Dongying see the photo of Daqing Oilfield in the history section of our company, what will they think!"

Although everyone knows that the inspection preparation work is nothing more than superficial work, this kind of thing that concerns whether one's butt is crooked or not can sometimes be fatal.

After being scolded by the junior cadre, the staff member turned pale and said: "I will correct it immediately!"

Yang Mo, who was at the end of the team, was looking at the old photos of great historical significance on the wall with great interest. Suddenly, he felt someone tapped his shoulder gently. He turned around and saw that it was Zhang Wenshun.

"Xiao Yang, you look so serious... Tell me, is there anything that needs to be corrected in the union's preparations for the inspection?" At this moment, Zhang Wenshun was smiling like a Maitreya Buddha, and his tone was full of support and care for the younger generation.

Feeling a little uneasy at the look in his eyes, Yang Mo immediately put on a correct attitude and said with great emotion: "The preparation process of the predecessors in the union is orderly, the content is substantial, the details are perfect, the atmosphere is magnificent, and full of emotion; such a rigorous and serious work attitude is indeed a role model for us, the younger generation..." He was interrupted by Zhang Wenshun halfway through his words: "Stop, stop, stop~ I asked you to come here to make corrections, not to come here to flatter... Besides, the union chairman is not here, who are you flattering for?"

Yang Mo blinked and looked at him innocently: "But... I don't know anything about the inspection... Besides, didn't we come here to study hard?"

Zhang Wenshun looked at him with a frown.

Are you here to study?
Damn it, do you think I didn’t see that grinning and disgusted expression on your face behind me just now?
He snorted, "As a cooperating unit, our General Office will still assess our inspection work. If the inspection goes smoothly and the leaders from Dongying are very satisfied, then our department will get a bonus for the quarter. But if something goes wrong... forget about the quarterly bonus, we'll be thankful if your salary isn't deducted!"

Yang Mo was shocked when he heard this. In addition to the year-end bonus, the drilling company also has a quarterly bonus... This is also the second largest source of income for employees. Compared with these bonuses and benefits, the fixed salary received every month is simply not worth mentioning.

Thinking that this matter was related to his first quarterly bonus after becoming a regular employee, Yang Mo immediately became serious: "Well... Director, I actually think that those details such as photos and order are not important, and there is no need to waste time checking them word by word... After all, well, you know..."

Looking at the rather obscene smile on Yang Mo's face, Zhang Wenshun naturally knew what this guy meant.

When it comes to this kind of inspection preparation work, superficial work is the most important thing.

In fact, whether it is the company or Dongying, the leaders only care about whether you have done enough surface work and whether you have given them enough face. As for other things...

Who the hell has the time to pay attention to more complex, detailed and professional content?
Glancing at Yang Mo with an expected but somewhat unexpected surprise, Zhang Wenshun snorted, "Don't lecture me on the truth, just tell me the results... What needs to be adjusted here?"

Yang Mo felt uncomfortable under Zhang Wenshun's gaze, and could only chuckle: "Well, actually... I think you don't need to worry about the rest, just change the frame of the photo gallery from iron to lacquered wood. If that doesn't work, stainless steel will also work... Think about it, compared to the clumsy and ugly iron frame, the lacquered wood or stainless steel frame will always look much more fashionable, right?"

Zhang Wenshun glanced at the row of red-painted iron frames full of the heavy industrial colors of the 1950s and 1960s, thought for a moment and nodded, and the smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly brightened...

………………

Thirty minutes later.

Cementing Team.

"Xiao Lei! Xiao Lei! Where the hell have you been? Why can't this shield mud water treatment machine start?"

"Hurry up and find someone to fix it for me, and then check it again carefully. If there is a problem when you demonstrate it to your leader, you will be criticized!"

Seeing a group of people milling around a shield mud water treatment system like ants on a hot pot, Zhang Wenshun retracted his gaze and said, "Yang Mo, what do you think?"

Yang Mo curled his lips: "Director Zhang, you've already seen it, why are you asking me?"

Zhang Wenshun glared and said, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Do you still want the quarterly bonus?"

Facing the shameless face of this guy, Yang Mo sighed helplessly: "My suggestion is... this machine doesn't need to be repaired at all, just put it there for display... not only don't start this shield mud water treatment machine, but also don't play the startup demonstration of other cementing equipment... these things are not only difficult to start, but also very noisy, it seems that the leaders are interested in listening to it."

At this point, Yang Mo pointed to a machine next to him that was already in the startup state: "Look, see, it's not important whether the machine can start, but it's very important whether the surface is clean... If the leader sees this scene of oil leaking out as soon as it is started, I guarantee he will turn around and leave immediately."

The junior cadre next to him argued, "Why not turn on the equipment for demonstration? Besides, that is a domestic oil-containing thermal desorption treatment machine, not a foreign device. How can it not leak oil when it is turned on?"

Yang Mo spread his hands: "Anyway, the opinions have been given, and it is up to you to decide whether to adjust it or not."

Zhang Wenshun on the side smiled and gently patted the young cadre on the shoulder: "Xiao Chen, please find your team leader."

………………

Three hours later.

Administrative Section.

"According to the plan, after the leader arrives, he will first come to the office area for inspection. We will accompany him throughout the process. Xiaohong, have you arranged the local reception work process?"

"It has been arranged. Not only the local program, but also the inspection route has been arranged... The route has been deduced several times, and Sister Wang has also asked the technical backbones of each department for the manuscript."

Looking at a group of older women busying around happily, Zhang Wenshun carefully pulled Yang Mo a few steps away and asked, "Boy, tell me what you think."

Yang Mo, who had completely given up struggling, rolled his eyes weakly: "Isn't it obvious... How old is that Wang Jie? How can you not have any idea what she looks like?"

"If we really ask her to accompany the entire process and explain the situation...haha, I guarantee that all the preparations of the various departments will be in vain!"

As he spoke, Yang Mo turned his head and glanced at a fat, hard-to-describe middle-aged woman in the distance, and sighed tiredly: "Don't they know that accompanying this person to explain the situation is the biggest superficial work in the inspection work... Will they die if they replace him with a younger and prettier girl?"

Zhang Wenshun couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He laughed happily and felt relieved.

Hearing the laughter, Yang Mo stared at the "smiley monster" in front of him with horror - he could clearly feel that this guy's attitude towards him was a little unusual today, and now, this feeling was even stronger.

Not paying attention to Yang Mo's guarded expression, Zhang Wenshun touched his chin, which had three layers, and suddenly asked, "Boy, are you interested in applying for a deputy department?"

Deputy section chief?

Yang Mo stared at Director Zhang in horror, almost thinking that this guy was having a tantrum because of eating fungi.

Although deputy section chief is just a simple rank, not a real position, and has a bit of the meaning of "honor" in ancient times, in a central enterprise, unless you have a strong background, you can only wait for a rank, and you may not even get it.

and……

Even though Southwest Drilling Company No. 1 plays a very important role in the entire oil system, it is, after all, just a subordinate unit. If we don't talk about power but only about rank, even the general manager's administrative level is just that of a director... You, a director who is also at the deputy section level, want a college graduate to be promoted to deputy section level?
Are you sure your brain is normal now?
Facing the deep suspicion in Yang Mo's eyes, Zhang Wenshun smiled even more happily, and stretched out his fat hand that was almost as big as a carrot and waved it in front of him: "One year! As long as you are willing to follow me and work hard, at most in one year, you can be promoted to deputy section chief... I, Zhang Wenshun, will leave it to you. As long as you don't cheat and look around all day long, if I don't promote you in one year, I will twist my head off and let you kick it like a ball!"

Looking around?

Looking at the director in front of him who suddenly became so heroic, Yang Mo did not get lost in the extremely tempting pie, but keenly sensed something strange.

This is……

what's the situation?
