1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 386: Profit from One Hole (1)

They were just a few second-generation young men who couldn't even be considered as dandies. Even if they came to represent certain wishes of their elders, Yang Mo naturally didn't take them seriously from beginning to end. After just dealing with them for half an hour, he sent them away.

Practicing Tai Chi is a required course for mixed systems.

Helping to promote the integration of those 17 small local refineries was, to put it bluntly, a deal I reached with Wang Yinuo when I was the section chief of Momo Baitou;

As the saying goes, one should not meddle in matters that are not within one's jurisdiction. Yang Mo is not the head of the drilling company, and he has Mr. Wang, the pioneer, in front of him. What subtle changes in the relationship between the drilling company and the central government and local governments in Linyi County is none of his business!

what?
Do you think such perfunctory treatment will cause dissatisfaction among some people and cause trouble for his project in Linyi County?

Ha ha……

The rural grassroots ecology is decentralized. The rural grassroots ecology is decentralized. The rural grassroots ecology is decentralized. I say it three times because it is important. If you want to use the urban logic to deal with the rural grassroots, you are undoubtedly asking for trouble.

Almost all of Yang Mo's projects are located in various rural areas. Not only do they show an obvious regional dense distribution, but they also adopt a two-tier PPP equity structure that is essentially a "real cooperative". Do you think these projects are really afraid of someone disrupting them?

The words he used to threaten the young man surnamed Zhao were not just talk... This is not the sheep age of later generations, and martial virtues are abundant in rural areas.

Besides, the situation in Linyi County was clearly stated in the previous article. Although Yang Mo has always been more inclined to stand on the side of the locals, if you really make him feel unhappy...

Haha, a county magistrate named Ma has always wanted to take the initiative to get close to him.

The impact of the tax-sharing reform on the local ecology is the greatest since the reform and opening up. Not only has the power of the squad leader truly reached its peak, but the phrase "taking economic development as the core" has also truly become a powerful internal driving force.

Although the tax-sharing reform has not yet been officially implemented and Linyi County is not within the scope of the pilot program, the east wind is warming, which does not prevent Yang Mo from using this tide hidden under the surface to do something... Otherwise, why do you think Su Yu's uncle, who is obviously a local, is unwilling to bother Yang Mo about the European sweet cherry project?

………………

The next day, Yang Mo arrived at Momo Baitou early.

Unlike other units, the time of the drilling company's weekly meeting is not fixed. Sometimes it is held at 8:30, and sometimes it has to wait until 10:30. It all depends on whether the general manager encounters any emergencies that need to be dealt with urgently that morning, and whether he needs to hold a small meeting with several vice presidents before the formal meeting.

In a word, the heads of each department just need to wait quietly in their offices for the notification call from the general manager's office.

However, the situation today was a little special. Yang Mo, who had waited until ten o'clock but saw no movement, called the general manager's office and got the reply that General Manager Wang was on his way back from Dongying, so Chief Yang asked him to be patient.

After hearing this reply, Yang Mo felt a little confused.

He knew the main purpose of Lao Wang's visit to the Dongying Command Center, which was nothing more than slamming the table in public and forcing them to issue a document requiring the Linyi Refinery to terminate its cooperative relationship with the 17 small local refineries.

Although this matter is indeed a bit troublesome, and can even be said to be forced upon others, Yang Mo, who had talked to his future father-in-law before, knew that the command center was very afraid of this old Mr. Wang. Presumably, if Old Mr. Wang really wanted to make a scene, this matter should not be difficult to accomplish, and it would not take that long at all.

You know, Mr. Wang took that fat guy to Dongying last Friday. Why did this matter take them three days?

impossible!
So, I rushed back this morning...

Could it be that there is something important happening in between?

With a lot of questions in his mind, Yang Mo sat in the somewhat unfamiliar office and began to ponder. He was not even in the mood to read the report documents that the acting section chief He Yongyi had sent to him for review.

Strictly speaking, although the drilling company is not his most important base, it is his most important base for survival. Without the drilling company as a platform to provide him with an identity, many of his actions cannot be carried out in the official name. There is a huge difference between public and private.

Therefore, he might not care about Mr. Wang's attempt to sideline a number of department heads; he might not care about the company's desperate efforts to recruit elite talents to Xintai Management Company with the intention of building it into the second Momo Baitou; he might not even care about the General Office's increasing involvement in several original important projects.

However, if Mr. Wang was planning to attack him directly... then the situation would be different.

There is no need to do anything else. Just use the same tactics that were used to squeeze out Wang Yinuo to deal with him. Display his merits at the meeting and directly reward him based on his merits by promoting him to vice president in charge of other aspects of the work. This will be enough to give him a headache - one should not meddle in matters that are not within his jurisdiction. Once Yang Mo is promoted to vice president in charge of asset logistics, or even the construction of relations between workers and peasants, not only can old President Wang transfer him back from Dahua Company in a legitimate manner, but at least 2/3 of the projects on his hands will not be able to be intervened in with a reasonable capacity.

Although Yang Mo thought that Old Wang would not be so stupid as to come up with such a trick of changing the generals at the critical moment when the drilling company was facing life and death,

I also don't think that Mr. Wang will take action against me, the person in charge of the tertiary industry project, without distinguishing the priorities before he has completely taken control of all the core departments.
I don't think Mr. Wang can really afford the consequences of a complete break with the Dongying Command... The drilling company's main business is currently drilling exploration, and after all, you are drilling on someone else's territory, and the core business income is the production bonus given by others. After a complete break with them, let alone making the drilling company bigger and stronger, even whether it can survive is a big problem.

However, after returning this time, various subtle changes made Yang Mo smell something was wrong.

The strong character of Mr. Wang is obvious to all.
Mu Siyuan once said that the other party's return this time was obviously supported by someone behind the scenes, and it was very likely that he had some purpose, or even some unknown cards.

At a level like Mr. Wang, one can imagine the importance of those he can rely on. Therefore, when necessary, those who have the trump card in their hands may not be afraid of falling out with the command center.

and so……

Nothing is absolute in this world!
After frowning and thinking for a while, Yang Mo looked at his watch. It was 10:53.

I called the General Manager's Office again and got the same reply.

Never mind, if enemies come, we will fight back; if water comes, we will block it with earth. Let Old Wang do whatever he wants. If it really doesn’t work... I don’t have to hang myself on the crooked tree of the drilling company. Do you really think I have no way out?

Thinking of this, Yang Mo picked up the report document on the table and took a quick look at it.

There were numerous tasks that he needed to rush back to Texas to handle, and the work of pushing forward the Isolated Island II project was the top priority. He did not have so much time to wait here foolishly. After reading the report documents, he would have to leave... As for the weekly meeting, he could just make a leave application over the phone. Anyway, he did not intend to get involved in the company's affairs, and attending the meeting was just a waste of time. It didn't matter whether he was one more or one less!
I had just turned a few pages of the document when the phone on the desk rang.

As soon as he picked up the microphone, a fat man's cold voice came over: "Chief Yang, I have two things to inform you now;"

"First, Mr. Wang and I will need another hour to get back, so today's company weekly meeting is cancelled;"

"second……"

"You bastard, get back to the General Affairs Office and wait there until I come back to settle the score with you!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone with a snap.

Judging from the sound filled with electromagnetic noise, it was obvious that the newly appointed assistant to the general manager found a gap on his way home and called Yang Mo with the mobile phone newly distributed by the company this year.

Yang Mo listened to the beeping sound coming from the microphone and was stunned.

what's the situation! ?

Why is the fire so big?
And...how long has it been since this fat guy called himself a "bastard"?

Yang Mo keenly sensed that something was wrong and his brows were furrowed into a shape of a "川" (cross).

Go to the fat guy's office and wait for him to come back and settle the score with you?

This tone, which was filled with anger but also with a familiar and caring feeling...

After a moment of silence, Yang Mo finished reading the documents in his hand as if nothing had happened, and called He Yongyi in to give him a few simple instructions before he stood up and left the office. After going downstairs, he looked around and then walked towards a direction that was once very familiar to him...

………………

I don’t know if it’s because the drilling company doesn’t have much money in its account this year, or if it’s because the company has too many places to spend money during its expansion period, but even though the General Office has now become a top-notch core department of the company, its office is still located in that shabby and low-end red brick and cement house.

Tsk tsk, that fat guy is really stingy. The company has so many cooperating construction teams, how much will it cost to build a few new rows of houses?
If it really doesn’t work...you will die if you install a few more air conditioners!
As he stepped into the familiar office, he was hit by a wave of heat mixed with a slight smell of sweat. Yang Mo puffed on the antique ceiling fans on the roof that were covered with black dust, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

Seeing Yang Mo standing stupidly at the door, staring at the ceiling fan, a young man walked over.

In today's drilling company, other departments have a lot of work to submit to the General Office for processing and coordination every day. In addition, the company is in a period of expansion, so it is not uncommon to see a strange face here. However, there are very few people like Yang Mo who walk in leisurely with empty hands... And he doesn't even look for people, but just stands at the door in a daze, which is worthy of suspicion!
Yang Mo looked at the young man in front of him, who had a smile on his face but a look of suspicion in his eyes, and smiled softly: "Is Su Yu here?"

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked towards the staff office area, which was arranged with large dorm beds but was now squeezed like a honeycomb with dozens of desks.

"Manager Su? Sorry, he's not here right now... He's on a grass-roots visit, and he probably won't be back until the end of the day."

Hearing that the man was indeed looking for someone and could call out his name, the young man who had little social experience immediately let down his guard.

Yang Mo looked around and saw that Su Yu was not there. He sighed softly, "Is Cai Zhaofeng here?"

"Team Leader Cai? He's not here either."

Yang Mo felt a little annoyed. There were only a few of his colleagues who stayed with him at that time. Bao Shuxian was transferred to Dahua Company by him, so there were even fewer people he could name. He thought for a moment: "Is Tu Lili here?"

"Director Tu? Uh...she went on a business trip the day before yesterday and hasn't come back yet."

Hearing this, Yang Mo couldn't help but sigh.

Well, the general office is full of newcomers now, and there’s not even anyone familiar to chat with. Forget it, I’d better go directly to that fat guy’s office and wait.

Yang Mo waved his hand and said, "I'm going to see Director Zhang. Don't worry about me. Go and get busy... I can go to his office by myself."

Seeing Yang Mo walking towards Zhang Wenshun's office, the young man suddenly became anxious: "Hey, hey, hey, who are you? Director Zhang is not here and the door is closed. Do you have an appointment? Why are you walking over there!?" That fat guy is not only the director of the General Office, but also one of the most powerful figures in the company. He is extremely strict with newcomers like them. If a stranger from nowhere breaks into Director Zhang's office, he will definitely be in trouble.

Seeing how dedicated this young man was to his job, Yang Mo rolled his eyes speechlessly... What kind of world is this? It's not even been a year since I was transferred from the General Office, and now I can't even enter the office?
I thought about it.

Forget it. After all, I am no longer a member of the General Office. There is no point in arguing with a bunch of strangers, and there is even less point in revealing my identity… After all, I am a section chief who works silently. If I reveal my identity and wait foolishly in the office of my “mortal enemy” for more than half an hour, will it be glorious if the news gets out?

Even if you don't care, you should still consider those guys who are silently investing in Bai Tou. There are so many snobbish people nowadays!
Thinking of this, Yang Mo stopped and decided to go somewhere else first. He hadn't been around the company for a long time and was extremely busy recently, so he might as well take a break.

After smiling at the young man, he just turned around and heard a familiar voice: "Huh? Are you... Yang Laoliu?"

Hearing this somewhat soft voice, Yang Mo turned his head and saw a face he had just seen yesterday. After thinking for a while, he said, "Um, Miss Zhuo... right? Hello!"

He is a lazy person. Yang Mo has always been reluctant to remember the names of people with whom he is unlikely to have any intersection or with whom he has no plan to have any intersection. However, he did not expect that he would meet this girl again today after having just met her yesterday.

People who graduated from journalism majors generally have good observation skills. Noticing that the other party was a little uncertain even when saying his last name, Zhuo Junyue looked at Yang Mo with a strange expression, then smiled and stretched out his right hand: "Hello, Zhuo Junyue... See you again, Yang Laoliu."

After that, he turned to the young man and said, "This is my friend. You go and do your work. I'll do it."

Watching the young man leave in embarrassment, Yang Mo laughed... Even a fool could see that I'm not familiar with this girl, so is it necessary for me to have such a wary expression?
"Yang Laoliu, thank you for yesterday!"

Seeing Yang Mo walking towards the door, Zhuo Junyue did not stop him. She just walked beside him closely, and then whispered her thanks sincerely.

Yesterday, Mr. Zhao was very persistent in pursuing her, as if he would "pursue her until the end of the world". Not only were his words quite blunt, but the look in his eyes made her seem as if he wanted to confirm their relationship that very day and eat her up that very day.

Zhuo Junyue was extremely disgusted with this kind of rude and arrogant guy. It was a pity that Mr. Zhao had a noble family background. She had just arrived in Qi and Lu for less than half a month and was unfamiliar with the place. She really didn't want to offend him too much.

To be honest, although she knew that the social gathering yesterday was organized by the company and the other party was from another system, they shouldn't go too far, but she was still afraid that Mr. Zhao would get confused and make a mandatory invitation to her after the social gathering.
As a student majoring in journalism, under the impact of various case materials, she has never had any confidence in the character of these dandies... and unfortunately, she is still very aware of her own appearance.

She had originally made up her mind that if things didn't work out, she would find a gap to slip out of the venue and then quietly run back to the dormitory. It didn't matter if she was criticized and punished by the company afterwards... After all, compared to the innocence and safety of a girl, such consequences could be completely ignored.

But she never expected that Mr. Zhao and his friends just fished around Yang Mo for more than half an hour, chatted for a while, and then got in the car and left with a gloomy face. He didn't even look at her again during the process.

Although she didn't know what Yang Mo said to Mr. Zhao, it was true that she escaped a disaster, so Zhuo Junyue was really grateful to Yang Mo... At one point, she even thought that if this peer, who she initially used as a shield, came up to her shamelessly after saving the beauty, then she might actually consider giving him a chance to get to know her and have some initial contact with her.

However, she never expected that after Mr. Zhao left, Yang Mo never looked at her again. When they met again today, this man didn't even remember her name.

It has to be said that this surprised her, and made her feel a little aggrieved and even dissatisfied.

Although she felt aggrieved, as a college student with basic manners, she still expressed her gratitude to Yang Mo very sincerely.

Yang Mo heard this, but waved his hand nonchalantly: "It has nothing to do with me. Those people just came here to play on a whim. When the time comes, they will leave naturally."

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Junyue just smiled. Although she didn't believe it in her heart, she didn't try to be smart and continue the topic.

"By the way, Yang Laoliu, I just heard... Are you here to see Director Zhang?"

Zhuo Junyue's tone was somewhat curious.

The fat guy today is no longer the small director who was on the margins a year ago. As the first direct descendant of General Manager Wang, and also holding the position of assistant to the general manager, not many people are qualified to enter his office unless the newcomers of the General Office are called in to be trained.

Although Qingfeng Food is very famous nowadays, its weight in the drilling company's system is not that important. Even their manager Liu Xianfu can't see Director Zhang easily. How can such a newly recruited intern have the courage to come directly to see their own leader?

Thinking of the fat guy's tone on the phone, which sounded like a volcano about to erupt, Yang Mo pinched his brows with a headache, then nodded gently: "Yeah."

Zhuo Junyue covered her mouth and chuckled: "Were you also called here to be scolded?"

Yang Mo sighed: "I don't know... maybe."

After saying that, he reacted and tilted his head curiously: "Also? Does that mean you are often called in and scolded?"

Zhuo Junyue spread her hands and complained in a low voice: "Director Zhang is very strict. If you make the slightest mistake at work, you will definitely be scolded. The number of colleagues in the department who have not been scolded can be counted on one hand...I cried a lot in my bed during the first few days after I arrived."

After all, she has studied news reporting. This girl knows how to narrow the distance between people and how to appropriately arouse empathy from others.

But she guessed wrong. Yang Mo was not the employee of Qingfeng Food who was sent here to take the blame and be scolded. He was not afraid of that fat guy.

After noticing the young girl's immature tricks, Yang Mo smiled and said, "I heard that Director Zhang used to have a smiling face all day long, like a Maitreya Buddha. How could he scold you at every turn?"

Although he learned from many sources that a certain fat guy was a real powder keg in the past, in Yang Mo's memory, this guy was smiling all day long and was very easy to talk to. When he was in the General Office, he rarely lost his temper when his subordinates made mistakes... In most cases, he would just snort a few times, then sigh and clean up the mess for his subordinates.

Of course, the past is the past, and the present is the present. It is hard to say whether this fat man will return to his old ways after regaining his high position.
But Yang Mo always felt that if this girl had not fooled him, this transformation would have been too unnatural... After a decade of dormancy and reflection, a certain fat guy's energy-cultivation skills were no longer the same as before. Even if he might be a little too proud of himself after regaining a high position, he would never scold his subordinates at every turn.

Zhuo Junyue, who had already walked out of the office door with Yang Mo, rolled her eyes playfully when she heard this: "What Maitreya Buddha? I have never heard of Director Zhang having this nickname. Anyway, if we small employees do something wrong at work, Director Zhang will scold us."

"In fact, being criticized is not bad. Lao Liu, you don't know that Director Zhang has very high requirements for us. If the work plans and programs we submit fail to meet the standards for several consecutive times, we may even be transferred to other departments... It is said that before I came, more than a dozen colleagues in the department had been transferred one after another;"

"Oh~ The pressure is really great. I think my gray hair will grow out in a while."

It turned out that he was diverted to other departments.

No wonder I was wondering why I couldn’t see any familiar faces.

Seeing this girl with a pitiful look on her face, stroking her long hair and looking at him from head to toe, Yang Mo didn't know why she always looked like she wanted to get closer to him, but this didn't stop him from understanding some other details: "She will be diverted if her plans fail to pass several times in a row? Is it really that exaggerated?"

As he spoke, Yang Mo looked at the girl with some curiosity: "Isn't it said that all the people in your General Office are college students now? It is said that there are two graduate students... You are all high-level intellectuals, how can Director Zhang not be satisfied with the materials you wrote... What kind of plan must you be writing to have such strict requirements! You can't be asking you to write the company's annual business plan, right?"

Zhuo Junyue curled her lips and said, "How can we be the ones to write the company's annual business plan? That would be a mess!"

As he said this, he sighed heavily: "So what if we are college students and graduate students? Once we enter the workplace, we find that the things we, the liberal arts students, learned in school are either completely useless or too superficial to be converted into work skills!"

"Alas, we are asked to investigate and write market prospect reports for petroleum products and derivatives in various regions and industries, and even to conceive market operation plans for various channels. Each step requires sufficient data and logic support... Is this a joke? How can we write this well? "

Market outlook report for petroleum products and derivatives by region and industry?
Conceive the market operation plan for each channel?
Yang Mo was shocked.

Is this the reason why Mr. Wang insists on getting involved in the local refining project?
However, even if they want the drilling company to regain the qualifications to engage in petrochemical business, they should take the upper level route. What's the point of targeting a few small refineries?

Just as his mind was racing, he heard Zhuo Junyue sighing in frustration: "According to a colleague who was recently transferred to the Asset Management Department, the reason why our director has such high requirements and such a hot temper is because when our department was just established, there was a very powerful senior. "

"I heard that this senior has the same surname as you, Yang. Like us, he joined the company right after graduation... But unlike us, he is said to be very talented. As soon as he joined the department, he was highly valued by Director Zhang. Not only has he been promoted to the position of Section Chief in Momo Baitou, but at the beginning of the year, he was specifically asked by the headquarters to take charge of work at Dahua Company."

"Tsk tsk, our General Office has been established for less than two years at most, and in two years he was promoted to a full-time section chief and concurrently served as the vice president of Dahua Company... How many people can do that!"

"Wanting us to be on par with that genius... that's not praising us anymore, Chunchun is just making things difficult for us, okay!"

After pouting and complaining for a while, the girl sighed again: "But there is a rumor circulating in the department... It is said that Director Zhang and that senior had a conflict later, and the two stopped communicating. Director Zhang has been in a bad mood since then."

"So, whenever a new employee comes into the department, Director Zhang always compares them with that senior. He also calls us in and scolds us. To put it bluntly, he is just taking his anger out on us... In the final analysis, Director Zhang still can't bear to part with that senior."

At this point, Zhuo Junyue spread his hands and said, "So, Lao Liu, you know what's going on. Director Zhang will come back and call you in. If he really scolds you, just bear with it... Wait until he's vented his anger, and then everything will be fine."

Yang Mo's expression was a little strange.

That fat guy has become so hot-tempered, and it turns out it's because of me?

Yang Mo touched his nose with some amusement. Just when he was about to continue to get some information about the previous questions, a fat figure hurried over from not far away.

"Boy, follow me into the office!"

Zhang Wenshun, whose breath was still a little confused, glared at Yang Mo with an unpleasant expression, then without even looking at Zhuo Junyue beside him, he took two steps at a time and walked into the general office.

………………

One minute later.

Zhang Wenshun threw his bag away, turned around, closed the office door, and drew down the curtains...

"You idiot!!"

"Idiot! Idiot!! Idiot!!!"

A fat guy's face turned red, his chest rose and fell rapidly, and his carrot-like fingers almost touched Yang Mo's nose.

Yang Mo was stunned when he saw Zhang Wenshun growling at him like an angry fat bear.

Hey, hey, hey, do you have to be so excited?
He started cursing right away.
Is there anything that can't be discussed in a nice way?
