1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 301 Before departure
As expected, Wang Yinuo was finally promoted.

Although the company's top executive did not work non-stop for half a month as he had imagined, and only gave three reports in the department and two other places, he was still promoted.

Therefore, when Yang Mo returned to the drilling company, the general manager, who had accepted the transfer order and was packing his luggage to go to the imperial capital to take up his post after the holiday, came to him with two cakes of Pu'er raw tea that had only been opened once.

"Congratulations, Deputy Director Wang!"

Yang Mo looked at him with a smile, then he casually filled an iron kettle with some defluorinated water and placed it on the stove, then he broke off a piece of the tea he had just received and threw it into the covered bowl.

Since it is a "promotion", the administrative level will naturally be raised.

Although the departments and bureaus are at the same level, and Wang Yinuo's promotion from a director-level cadre to a deputy bureau-level cadre seems to be only a promotion of one level or even half a level, but people in the system know that there are actually some subtle differences between the two... This difference is roughly similar to the difference between a counselor and a military general, but the dividing line is often not so clear.

Therefore, Wang Yinuo was promoted to deputy director instead of deputy director. In addition to foreshadowing the nature of his new unit, it also means that the receiving unit will recruit him and give him certain powers of management.

Although I don’t know whether Wang Yinuo can bear the unknown burdens after the spring, it is still a good thing after all.

Therefore, if someone who knows a little bit about the business is faced with this situation, if Wang Yinuo is promoted to deputy director, he will naturally still call him "Mr. Wang" according to his current position;
Those who don't know much about the business would erase the word "deputy" and flatter him by calling him "Director Wang".
Only those who see that he has the potential to truly move forward and have confidence in his future would call him by a title that doesn't sound very pleasant, such as "Deputy Director Wang."

Seeing that this little guy actually understood the subtle difference in the change of his job title, Wang Yinuo looked at Yang Mo with both surprise and not much surprise.

Although this young man, who is only 24 years old, has always presented himself as a "greenhorn", since he was able to help himself draft a speech that was both presentable and highly targeted, he was obviously a little fox in human skin.

It's normal for the little fox to understand the twists and turns of the system much better than his peers. Therefore, it's not surprising that he can judge some things just by his different job titles.

"You little brat... there's no reason for you to open a present in front of others... you don't even have a tea needle!?"

Wang Yinuo nodded at Yang Mo with both anger and amusement, looking at the piece of tea cake that was broken off from the covered bowl, his tone full of regret.

Although it is extremely impolite to open gifts in front of guests, Yang Mo's casual approach made Wang Yinuo feel very happy, and even his tone became much more intimate.

If Yang Moken had shown this attitude in front of him two months ago, the result today might have been very different.

Wang Yinuo sighed secretly with mixed emotions, his tone full of regret.

This bastard, how can he be so rough when opening the tea?

Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you didn’t have tea needles? I could have brought you one.

Hey ~
The cake shape is completely ruined, how can it be placed on the tea cabinet!
………………

So, five minutes later, Wang Yinuo drank the cup of bright yellow tea that made him feel a little upset with a look of regret on his face.

"Forget it. Next time I'll ask someone to get you some sun-dried green materials. Unwrapping the seven-piece cake is a delicate job. You're such a lazy kid. You'd better just drink some loose tea!"

Yang Mo grinned when he heard that. "Thank you so much, old man. I hate to unpack tea leaves. I have to use a tea needle to peel off the tea leaves layer by layer. For a particular person like you, you have to spend half an hour to unpack the buds and leaves one by one. Isn't that asking for trouble? Loose tea is better. Just grab a handful and throw it into the covered bowl. It's most suitable for a rough person like me!"

Wang Yinuo glanced at him unhappily: "Governing a country is like cooking fresh food, and so is drinking tea... Breaking off the tea cake in one piece like you did is convenient, but the buds and leaves are heated unevenly, the outer tea leaves are stretched out, and the tea leaves in the cake core are still dry. How can the tea be delicious?"

Yang Mo chuckled: "So I said, loose tea is more suitable for me. In fact, although I like to drink Pu'er tea, I hate seven-piece cakes... they are too tight!"

Wang Yinuo frowned, "Since Old Mu has withstood such great pressure and has already allocated a portion of the special funds from the headquarters, with your ability, it should be no problem for you to step into the threshold of the department level after working in the asset management company for two or three years... When you become a regular department-level cadre, you will have to be allocated the Seven Pieces even if you don't want to. How can you have so much loose tea around you for you to grab and brew?"

Yang Mo shrugged: "You think too highly of me. I can be promoted to a director-level cadre in two or three years? I don't have that confidence."

As one of the four major thresholds within the system, although the level of deputy director is not very high, for ordinary people, it is the most difficult one to cross.

Wang Yinuo frowned when he heard this, and looked sideways at Yang Mo's two bare feet stepping on the wool slippers, and the chilblains on his feet were still clearly visible: "What's wrong, are you upset with Xiaoya?"

With Yang Mo's ability, he actually had no expectation of crossing the threshold of the deputy director level. Wang Yinuo couldn't help but immediately think that the crux of the problem was the relationship between Yang Mo and Mu Liya.

Yang Mo looked in the direction he was pointing, then gently rubbed his still itchy chilblains with his feet, but shook his head slightly: "It has nothing to do with Miss Mu. In fact, we are still very good friends... It's just that I am a rough person, I can't do any delicate work, and I don't have that much energy to disassemble the tea layer by layer. I also don't have the delicate mind to take care of every bud in my hand. So, I think it's good to drink some loose tea."

Wang Yinuo looked a little strange: "But after Pu'er tea is pressed into cakes, its flavor is stronger and more lasting than loose tea... and the longer the good cakes are stored, the more tempting the flavor will be."

Yang Mo curled his lips: "Loose tea is also tea... and I am a wild boar and can't taste fine bran."

Wang Yinuo's expression became even more strange: "But now all the Pu'er tea on the market is processed by state-owned tea factories, and most of them are seven-piece cakes. There is rarely any loose material in circulation."

Yang Mo sneered: "Why don't you just take the tea directly from the tea farmers instead of working hard?"

As he spoke, Yang Mo smiled as he picked up the huge kettle and added some water to the covered bowl: "If it really doesn't work out, we can rent a tea mountain and grow tea ourselves... Pu'er tea is not popular now anyway, as long as it doesn't affect the production plans of those state-owned tea factories, they shouldn't object."

Wang Yinuo looked at him for a long time with a twinkling gaze, and suddenly smiled softly: "So this is why you chose a piece of wasteland on the edge of Dezhou City as the location for the asset management company, and promised to invest no less than 6 million this year?"

Yang Mo was not surprised at all that Wang Yinuo knew about this. Although he was the person in charge of this project and the matter was still kept confidential, let alone capital verification, the minimum capital disclosure procedure still had to be followed... The capital disclosure could not go around the Finance Department, and Chief He of the Finance Department was Wang Yinuo's confidant. Do you think that Chief He, this little fanboy, would report the matter to Wang Yinuo as soon as possible?
Seeing Wang Yinuo's complicated look, Yang Mo shrugged: "That's about it... You know, I'm lazy and willful... It's a waste of youth if you don't act recklessly!"

Isn't it a waste of youth if one is not frivolous?
you?
This little fox in human skin?

After chewing over these words carefully, Wang Yinuo had an indescribable weird expression on his face.

He glanced at the guy's feet that were restlessly scratching themselves, and thought of Yang Mo's diving into the water to save people at the pier a few days ago regardless of personal danger, as well as the dozens of workers in the staff hospital who were treated beyond the standard. Somehow, he suddenly believed it.

Huh~
It's as if no one has ever been young.

"It's not difficult to contract a tea plantation, but it's not easy to manage such a tea plantation by yourself."

The head of the company, who always presented an elegant face, smiled noncommittally, but then changed the subject: "In one week, I will officially step down. While I'm still sitting on the seat...is there anything you need me to do specially?"

Yang Mo was startled by the abrupt turn of events and looked at Wang Yinuo in surprise.

Although it is common for state-owned enterprises to forget about employees after they leave, even for Wang Yinuo, who will be leaving in a week, there is not much that can be done under the mechanism of state-owned enterprises.

But just because there isn't much he can do doesn't mean he can't make decisions on anything.

At least he still retains his current identity as general manager, so if he really wants to force through some resolutions without regard for decency, it is not impossible.

You have to understand that Wang Yinuo has actually accumulated some prestige through a series of major actions last year. In addition, his resignation and transfer this time was an emergency, and many people in the company were actually quite wary of Mr. Wang's return. Therefore, with all these reasons combined, it is actually much easier for Wang Yinuo to do something special than most people think.

However, using one's power and influence to get special things done before leaving is a behavior that can easily give people a handle. Moreover, Wang Yinuo's transfer this time is for promotion, not for retirement in the head office, so this kind of thing should be avoided.

Wang Yinuo asked about things that others could not avoid. If you say Yang Mo was not shocked, you are definitely lying. Looking at the old man wearing a pair of black-framed glasses with doubts, Yang Mo pondered for a moment: "Boss Wang, I know you have a good relationship with Miss Mu's father, but, I have my own ideas about some things... You don't have to do this."

Wang Yinuo smiled lightly: "It has nothing to do with Lao Mu."

Aren't you recruiting men for Mu Siyuan?
So that means he is considering his own future?
Yang Mo looked at Wang Yinuo suspiciously, then laughed: "Boss Wang, there is really no need to do this. Since I made a promise to you, I will definitely not stand idly by when you are assigned to the imperial capital... Having someone above you to protect you is something that countless people dream of. How can I waste such a good opportunity?"

Wang Yinuo smiled again: "It's not for this... Although you are a slippery little guy, you still keep your word. I have never worried that you will regret it."

Yang Mo was really confused. After scratching his itchy chilblains with his feet, he looked at Wang Yinuo in disbelief: "Then why are you doing this, old man?"

Seeing the deep doubt in Yang Mo's eyes, Wang Yinuo smiled self-deprecatingly: "If I said I didn't want anything, would you think I was lying to you?"

As he spoke, Wang Yinuo gently took a sip of the bitter tea brewed by someone, and looked at Yang Mo frankly: "Okay, let's not dwell on this. Let me ask you again, is there anything you need me to do specially for you... Don't worry, there are no additional conditions."

Hear the words “no strings attached.”

Yang Mo felt inexplicably uncomfortable, and then a faint sense of humiliation surged in his heart.

Ah……

It turns out that in the eyes of others, I have become this kind of person.

Yang Mo suppressed his faint sadness, thought for a moment, and shook his head slightly: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Wang, but... there is really nothing that requires you to do anything special."

This was not a polite remark or an attempt to avoid anything, but he really didn't have anything special to do right now.

Wang Yinuo looked at him with a strange and slightly disappointed look: "Qingfeng Food's superior affiliated unit does not need my help to change from Xintai Company to Asset Management Company... After the spring, when Mr. Wang takes office, if Qingfeng Food is still affiliated with Xintai Company, aren't you afraid of problems?"

Hearing this, Yang Mo smiled and shook his head: "No need, Director Zhang promised me a long time ago that they would not touch Qingfeng Food... Although Lao Zhang is a bit unkind, I am still willing to trust him again."

At this point, Yang Mo raised his lips in a mysterious arc: "If Mr. Wang really takes action against Qingfeng Food after his return... Heh, that may not be a bad thing for me."

Wang Yinuo frowned. Although he knew that Yang Mo attached great importance to Qingfeng Food and even sent his childhood friend as a nail, it was impossible that he did not have other backup plans; but at this time, if the central enterprise became a major shareholder, the suppression power over the subordinate units would be unimaginable to future generations.

and so……

Maybe it’s not a good thing?
What he meant was that if Mr. Wang wanted to take action against Qingfeng Food, Yang Mo would use a backup plan to sever Qingfeng Food’s relationship with the drilling company?
Is this... possible?

With a hint of suspicion and a faint sense of fear, Wang Yinuo nodded and said, "What about Momo Baitou? Do you need me to coordinate with Vice President Feng and the Organization Department to transfer Xiao He to temporarily take over the position of section chief?"

If Qingfeng Food is Yang Mo's lifeline, then Momo Baitou should be regarded as one of his most important bases.

After the new asset management company is established and Yang Mo is transferred there, although he will still retain the position of section chief of Momo Baitou, since Yang Mo will mainly work in the new company in the future and may not be able to come back once a week, Momo Baitou will definitely appoint an acting section chief to be responsible for the daily operation of the entire department.

This position may be held concurrently by the former deputy section chief Qin Xin, or someone may be selected from the heads of various departments, but it is more likely that Old Wang will always appoint one of his confidants to sit in this position.

This could easily lead to problems. Once the new leader truly gains control of the situation, Mr. Wang will most likely promote the acting section chief to the position if necessary. Even Yang Mo himself cannot find any reason to object... After all, your work focus next year will be on the asset management company. In most cases, working in two offices is like occupying the toilet without doing anything, which will anger everyone.

Therefore, Wang Yinuo wanted to specially transfer Section Chief He to be the acting Section Chief of Momo Baitou next year in the name of "job adjustment". On the one hand, it was indeed for Yang Mo's sake, but on the other hand, it was also to protect this confidant... Personnel and financial rights are the core powers that any top leader must control. Since the Organization Department will be in charge of Deputy General Manager Feng next year, it is inevitable that the Finance Department will be replaced after General Manager Wang returns.

And now he and Yang Mo are already allies. Not only will Section Chief He certainly follow Yang Mo's lead in his future work, but Section Chief He, who has rich financial knowledge, would be an excellent choice if he could successfully become the acting section chief of Momo Baitou... Even if the actual power of this position is not as great as that of the chief of the finance department, at least it will not waste the other party's abilities.

When Yang Mo heard this suggestion, he hesitated slightly.

To be honest, he was not afraid that after Mr. Wang returned, he would place his confidant in Momo Baitou as the acting section chief. The nature and content of the work of Momo Baitou was completely different from those of other departments in the drilling company. As the saying goes, "every job has its own limitations." He did not think that there would be anyone around Mr. Wang who could manage such a department.

In fact, after the initial mechanism sorting and promise fulfillment, Momobaitou, a new department that was established less than three months ago, has initially formed its own department culture and operating ecology... In such a department that takes responsibility for its own consequences, if you can't control the people below you with your professional ability and positively incubate the growth of your employees, and only want to use the old tricks of state-owned enterprises, you will only die miserably!

In a word, if Mr. Wang wants to move into Yang Mo's territory, he will not only step into a huge pit, but also, unless he dares to take the risk of all those projects with a total value of up to 2.2 US dollars failing, he will have to be sent back to his original position in disgrace within half a year at most, and then obediently pay a large sum of compensation.

However, Wang Yinuo's proposal actually tempted him. Although he was not afraid that Mr. Wang would steal his girl, he was indeed in need of help... especially the kind of helper who was reliable and could really get things done.

And since Section Chief He, who was just a clerk a year ago, was able to fill the vacancy left by the original head of the department due to illness, his own abilities are impeccable.

Everyone on earth knows that for an investment department like Momobaitou, although the real key to its work does not lie in financial ability, without sufficient financial and legal knowledge it is very easy to fall into a lot of traps, whether obvious or hidden. Therefore, letting Section Chief He, a section-level cadre, take charge of Momobaitou and become the steward of all the details of the work is the most suitable person.

As allies, the right thing to do is to help each other, right?

Thinking of this, Yang Mo smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Wang, then I'll trouble you with this matter!"

Wang Yinuo observed the changes in Yang Mo's expression throughout the whole process, and found that the other party was not worried about Mr. Wang's involvement in Momo Baitou. Instead, he seemed to be selling his own face and agreed to let Xiao He become the acting section chief of Momo Baitou. He had an indescribable feeling in his heart...

Despite the repeated surprises he encountered, this young man seemed to be more cunning than he had imagined.

It turns out that Momobaitou had already prepared a backup plan?

Ah……

It seems that I am really old. I still haven't figured out what the other party's next move is.

But the result was still acceptable to him.

Although the favor he did to Yang Mo eventually turned into a favor Yang Mo did to him, no matter what, Xiao He was saved after all. And as long as he has the right material, he may be able to make further progress in the future and eventually become a truly important figure who can stand on his own.

This can be considered...

Basically, I have resolved all the karma between myself and Drilling Company No. 1 over the past decade, right?

Thinking of this, Wang Yinuo sighed with a complicated expression, then laughed softly: "When your foot feels better in a few days, come to my house and accompany an old man like me to satisfy my drinking addiction... When I was sorting things out yesterday, I swept out two bottles of Lai Mao's National Day commemorative edition from the corner of the cabinet."

Lai Mao once launched a commemorative edition at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is definitely a first-class good thing. Therefore, Yang Mo really didn't believe that these two bottles of good wine were accidentally swept out by Wang Yinuo when he was tidying up the room.

However, he understood Wang Yinuo's feelings in the current situation, and smiled and shook his head: "Such a good wine, it's a waste to drink it when moving... Wait until spring comes, when you settle down in your new home in the imperial capital, it won't be too late for me to bring it out when I come to visit you."

Oh?
Wang Yinuo looked at Yang Mo and suddenly laughed, seeming to be a lot more relaxed.

"Okay! These two bottles of good wine will be opened when you come to visit me in the capital!"
