1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 7 Go to the grassroots level

the next day.

Zhang Wenshun, the director who had just made great contributions, appeared in the office as expected and began his passionate speech that was very characteristic of the times.

"You are all the pillars of the country, intellectuals and senior intellectuals selected from thousands of people, drilling the future of the company..."

"You are the trendsetters of the times. You are excellent enough to shine brightly in any position..."

"I know everyone has been wondering why you have been left here for the past three months without any care... I can only tell you that this is the General Office... a key department listed by the company as a reform pilot, a department that tens of thousands of employees are jealous of... The resistance behind the establishment of this office is beyond the imagination of ordinary people!"

"What is a general office? It is a department that can participate in all kinds of work and has long-arm jurisdiction over all departments! - Although we cannot directly bypass the level to give orders to the departments, in a sense, you are the think tanks and all-rounders that the company focuses on training, and you will be the second brain on par with the general manager's office in the future!"

"But everyone knows that we are a new department and you are all newcomers... and you are newcomers who are not in the petroleum major and have no relevant work experience. It is impossible for you to give orders to others right away!"

“So, a long journey begins with a single step. We must learn to fight for it ourselves and find our own breakthroughs!”

"Now, we have a golden opportunity... Just a few days ago, General Manager Wang flew into a rage at a meeting, saying that a considerable number of department reports were superficial and empty!"

"so……"

As expected, most of the young people in the general office are rookies who have just graduated from school, and they are easily excited and screaming.

So, amid everyone's slightly regretful and relieved looks, the uneducated Yang Mo was kicked out of the candidate list after two simple rounds of screening.

Yang Mo didn't feel embarrassed at all about his failure to be selected - anyone who has worked in a state-owned enterprise for a few years knows that writing materials in an ordinary department is a huge pit, and writing materials for other departments is an even bigger pit among huge pits. Having been cheated in his previous life, he naturally would not get involved in this muddy water this time.

………………

After a fierce competition, Bao Shuxian and two other "lucky ones" returned to the office in high spirits with piles of documents two hours later.

Yang Mo thought that this was the end of today's matter.

But I don’t know if it was because the previous incident made Section Chief Zhang Wenshun taste the sweetness, after confirming the person to write the materials, he immediately followed him into the office.

As usual, he coughed a few times, and when the office was completely quiet, he said in a heavy tone: "Our company is not like an ordinary state-owned enterprise. Even if you are a technical secondary school student (the status of technical secondary school students was very high at that time) or a college student who is regarded as the pride of heaven, you must accept an internship assessment lasting six months to a year, otherwise you will not be able to become a formal employee... Everyone should know about this, right?"

When everyone heard this, their expressions became serious and they nodded one after another.

Although they are all state-owned, it is obviously much harder to get a job in a central enterprise than in an ordinary state-owned enterprise - of course, if you are the child of a central enterprise employee who enjoys policy support, that is another matter.

If these technical secondary school and college students were placed in ordinary state-owned enterprises, they might be able to become formal employees when they report. If they are lucky, they might even be directly designated as section members and become a small leader on the spot. However, in a central enterprise like Southwest Petroleum Drilling Company No. 1, this is absolutely impossible.

It is precisely because of this that they were so anxious about being idle for three months, and now there is such fierce competition for a mere task of writing materials - even a newcomer with a background like Su Yu, after receiving the task at first, no matter how reluctant he was, had to take the initiative to expose his second-generation identity in front of those villagers.

What a joke, if you fail to meet the assessment standards during the long internship period, your personnel file will be "exchanged" to a local state-owned enterprise. If the internship leader has a bad impression of you, your file will even be sent back to the school or the personnel department for secondary distribution, which will be a big trouble. You know, due to the particularity of the times, the formal establishment of central oil units at this moment, especially the establishment positions with functional promotion channels, are not only extremely valuable, but also have countless uses... Even a local second-generation like Su Yu has to be obedient and suffer, which shows its importance.

Seeing that everyone's nervousness was aroused, Zhang Wenshun nodded with satisfaction, and then took out a roster: "According to convention, all new talents reported to the agency need to rotate to the grassroots level for training, and then receive reports and evaluations from various grassroots units before they can go through the formal employment process... Generally speaking, this process will last at least 5-8 months, and the number of grassroots units rotated must not be less than 3!"

"However, the situation in our general office is a little bit special."

"Firstly, due to various reasons, we have already wasted three months of precious time. Unless all members follow the one-year internship period, there will not be enough time for us to rotate.

"Secondly, the functions of our general office are somewhat special... You know, we are a compound management post, and it is a newly established compound management department. Therefore, it is very important to go to the grassroots for training, but it is more important to improve our comprehensive professional quality and find a set of working methods that suit our actual situation... Therefore, after organizational discussion, the superior leaders allowed us to shorten the time at the grassroots level as appropriate!"

"In short, the company intends to use this oil campaign as an opportunity to conduct a surprise assessment on you... That is to say, in the next three months, except for the three people who are helping other departments write materials, the rest will be assigned to various drilling teams to carry out field operations and participate in the campaign... After the campaign is completed, you will no longer need to rotate to the logistics department and the administrative department. You will directly decide whether to enter the subsequent formal employment process based on the report and evaluation of the drilling team!"

At this point, Zhang Wenshun showed great expectations on his face: "Comrades, this oil campaign is the most important task of the company this year. It takes a long time, the task is heavy, and the situation is complicated... But at the same time, almost all departments are involved in this campaign... In the words of the superiors, this large-scale task that requires the mobilization of all departments of the company is not only a touchstone to test the ability of our general office members, but also a rare opportunity for you to exercise and show your abilities... You must seize it!"

With just a few words, the rookies once again entered a state of both nervousness and excitement... They looked like the hard-working students who were going to take the college entrance examination the next day.

Seeing this, Zhang Wenshun stopped talking nonsense and directly read out the roster:

"Now let's start reading the personnel assignment list..."

"Zhang Bo, Zeng Bingru, you two go report to the 113 Drilling Brigade... Then go directly to Captain Wang, he will arrange specific tasks for you!"

"Su Yu, Cheng Hao, you two go report to the 127th Drilling Brigade... and find Captain Zhang when the time comes."

"Li Bin, Lu Linlin, you two should report to the 130th Drilling Brigade... and then find Captain Zhao."

……

"Tu Lili... Yang Mo, you two should report to the 152 Drilling Brigade... Then find Captain Sun... Yang Mo, remember to follow his orders!"

I don’t know if his previous performance caused some misunderstanding among the directors, but when Yang Mo’s name was read out, Zhang Wenshun emphasized it particularly.

At this moment, Yang Mo was like a normal and obedient student. When he heard his name being called, he showed a simple smile that was in line with social expectations, and then lowered his head in shame.

Please!

Just tell us directly that we are being dragged to serve as fuses for various drilling teams, and why do you still want to conduct a "surprise assessment"?
Do you really think we are all idiots who know nothing?

However, 152 Drilling Brigade...why does this name sound familiar?

Yang Mo, who had already forgotten some things in his previous life, bit his nails and pondered...
