1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 85 I don’t understand, okay?
Monday,

Tugou, who had already completed the normal procedures, walked into the newly vacated office of Qingfeng Food after getting off the bus wearing an ordinary business suit. He did not look like a department manager at all.

After spending half the morning taking over the work from Liu Xianfu, who was temporarily taking over the position, Lu Yingying looked around this independent office of about ten square meters with some discomfort.

From today on...I am also a small official?

It took a full minute for Tugou to break free from this unreal feeling. He took a deep breath, carefully took out a notebook from his canvas bag, and began to read it carefully.

Yang Shidan said that contract workers like himself who suddenly appeared in the middle of the job and took away the fat meat but had no background to speak of would most likely encounter subordinates who wanted to test their abilities through work on the first day in office, so they must be well prepared.

Just as I was thinking this, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Please come in." Tugou closed his notebook like a thief and tried to remain calm.

A young man, about 26 or 27 years old, walked in and presented the document to Tugou with a respectful attitude that no one could find fault with: "Manager Lu, this is the advertising design plan of our design team. Please take a look."

Catching the subtle contempt in the young man's eyes, Lu Yingying took a deep breath.

coming……

………………

At this time, Yang Mo, who had not been in the general office for more than two months, was sitting leisurely on the desk that had become vaguely unfamiliar to him, checking his treasures one drawer at a time to see if there was anything wrong.

"The Complete Works of Xiong Yaohua" is still there... very, very good!
"The Thousand Faces of Dunjia" has no damage or water stains... Great, it's time to find a chance to return it to that guy Wan Bin.

Eh?
There is still half a pack of Hardman that was dropped here at some point?

This is a big surprise, good! Good!

Yang Mo happily took out a cigarette from the box. After finding that it was not damp, he picked it up, lit it, and took a puff with great relish.

"Hey, Yang Mo, don't you see there are so many people in the room? There are so many girls inside, can you put out your cigarette?"

Just after taking two puffs, Tu Lili's dissatisfied voice was heard.

Hearing the hidden rebuke in the girl's words, Yang Mo turned his head to look at the girls who were covering their noses and frowned.

A lot of interns have come to the General Office during this period. I don’t know what Director Zhang and the Personnel Department think. Among this group of interns, nearly 70% are girls. Under the fine tradition of mentoring the new, these first batch of old employees who stayed on naturally became team leaders.

In other words, except for him who was busy with the tertiary industry pilot project, the others brought 2 to 3 new team members.

It was the first time for a rookie like Tu Lili to be a leader and a master. She was naturally very excited. Not only did she teach her three apprentices everything she knew, but she also often stuck together after get off work. To people who didn't know the situation, it seemed more like a best friend relationship than a master-apprentice relationship between these girls.

It must be said that the girls' behavior was a bit pretentious, or even if they were not used to the smell of cigarettes, they would not cover their noses just because of the two puffs of cigarettes from a distance - you have to know that the present is different from later generations. The culture of smoking and drinking is prevalent in China. Within a radius of 50 kilometers, you can hardly find a family where no one smokes.

Of course, these girls are just being pretentious, but they are not his team members, so he is too lazy to care.

But the problem is, as a person who has lived two lives, Yang Mo could naturally see that Tu Lili didn't ask him to put out the cigarette entirely because of her little apprentice.

Ah……

This is a person who has been poor for a long time and suddenly became rich. He was so intoxicated by a small title of team leader that he couldn't get out of it. Is he thinking of using himself to gain face?
He is very clear about his situation in the department.

On the one hand, Zhang Wenshun and Mu Liya, the two full-time leaders of the General Office, think highly of him; but on the other hand, except for Su Yu and Bao Laosi, the rest of the ordinary colleagues have an increasingly obvious sense of rejection and even hostility towards him.

This polarized situation became even more serious after I was removed from my position as a member of the research team.

In the eyes of these rookies who are only active in their own small areas, I, a guy who likes to jump around everywhere, have fallen flat on my face. Besides gloating over his misfortune, there is inevitably some contempt in their eyes when they look at me... As the saying goes, when a wall falls, everyone pushes it. In this office, is there anyone more suitable than me to show off their power?
After vaguely understanding the girl's intention, Yang Mo stared at her with a half-smile, with neither provocation nor anger in his eyes. It was as if he was watching a short opera. The blue smoke that was still rising was full of sarcasm under the sunlight.

To be honest, it would be fine if the other party was a woman. If it was a man, with his experience of two lifetimes and his current influence on that fat guy, he would have a hundred ways to make the other party unable to take care of himself.

Tu Lili felt uncomfortable being stared at by Yang Mo, and her expression gradually became unnatural.

As a former colleague who had worked at the grassroots level together, she actually knew this man's background and how difficult it was to mess with him better than most of her colleagues. But for some reason, after hearing that Yang Mo had suffered a big setback in the management guidance group, she just wanted to provoke him. There was no reason, no motive, but she just wanted to put some pressure on him.

But when she really provoked him and was stared at by the other party, she suddenly found herself feeling very guilty, and then a sense of inexplicable grievance and anger surged up.

Just when Tu Lili stiffened her neck and wanted to say something.

squeak~
The door of an office opened, and Miss Mu, wearing a simple thin coat, walked out. The office suddenly fell silent under her dazzling glare.

Feeling the somewhat low pressure in the office, Mu Liya glanced at Yang Mo, then at Tu Lili and the three interns who were sitting obediently like quails, and frowned.

"The company plans to separate some of the vehicles in the transport brigade and put them under the management of Xintai Company, so the selection of vehicles and the investigation of their condition have become a top priority."

After a pause, Miss Mu said in a calm tone: "Although these vehicles are under the jurisdiction of Xintai Company, my diversified business research team also has the right to use them... Tu Lili, take your team members and go to the transportation team immediately to cooperate with Captain Chen in the registration work!"

At this point, Mu Liya stared at Tu Lili and said, "Remember, in order to avoid vehicle breakdowns during long-distance transportation as much as possible... your team must do a good job of selection... In order to prevent the transport team from not checking the condition of the vehicle seriously, I require you to follow the whole process... In other words, whether it is a test drive, unpacking inspection, or spare parts inspection and replacement, you must check it yourself... If Xintai Company finds any problems afterwards... hold them accountable!"

Tu Lili almost cried when she heard this.

She doesn't know anything about cars, and these girls are not willing to follow the mechanic, covered in oil, to crawl under the car and check every part by hand.

In terms of hardship, apart from the drillers during the major battles, no one in the drilling company suffered more than the maintenance workers who had to conduct surprise inspections of vehicles before major missions. The company used to let male employees do this kind of work, so why did it suddenly fall on me?

But even if she had a hundred guts, she didn't dare to say no in front of Manager Mu, who had a strong background. She could only nod, look sad, and trot out of the office with her little apprentice, feeling aggrieved.

Tsk tsk, I didn’t realize that this young lady is so cruel!
Yang Mo rubbed his chin, admiring the embarrassed figures of the little girls with interest.

He naturally knew how painful this kind of surprise inspection work was. There were hundreds of vehicles in the transport brigade, and at least a hundred of them were suitable for transportation. If he wanted to select the best thirty or forty vehicles to allocate to Xintai Company, the workload would be extremely large... At the very least, it was normal for him to work non-stop for three or four days without sleep.

The most important thing is that Miss Mu requires people to check every link manually before registration, which is going to cost people their lives... Those who are familiar with the full inspection of old vehicles know that this is a very painful and physically demanding job.

When Yang Mo thought of the scene in a few days when those girls would hold up their ten swollen and red fingers covered with tiny wounds and cry loudly, he felt a surge of anticipation in his heart.

Tsk tsk.

As expected, only women know how to make things difficult for other women!
Just as Yang Mo was sighing, Miss Mu's cold voice rang in his ears: "Yang Mo, come to my office."

Eh?
At this moment?
Go to your office?
Yang Mo blinked his eyes, looking at the complicated and jealous eyes in the office, sighed in his heart, and could only stand up...

………………

"Yang Mo, do you want to laugh at me? "

As soon as the door was closed, before Yang Mo's buttocks landed on the sofa, Miss Mu's questioning voice with a strong sense of shame and anger came.

Eh?
Seeing your joke?
Yang Mo was completely confused and had no idea why the woman suddenly went crazy.

Seeing this guy's bewildered look, Mu Liya's pretty face, which had always been as cold as an iceberg, flushed with anger, and she looked at him with gritted teeth: "Are you still pretending in front of me? Tell me the truth, did you let Yingying come over to laugh at me because you didn't want her to get too close to me?"

???

Yang Mo looked at her in astonishment, totally unaware of what the woman was talking about.

Seeing that this guy was still playing dumb, Mu Liya almost bit her teeth to pieces. After trying to calm down, she looked at him coldly: "Okay, I admit that I don't understand the meaning behind per capita GDP, nor do I understand the characteristics of the people corresponding to each range... You only used a few words to make Yingying see the true face of a loser like me... You have achieved your goal, are you satisfied now? "

When she said the last few words, Mu Liya almost slammed the table and stood up. The unbelievable look in Tugou's eyes at that time seemed to reappear in front of her eyes.

Eh? You don't even know this? ...No way?

Eh? You don't know this either? ...Isn't that possible? Didn't Yang Shidan say that these things are just the basics of the basics for you?
Miss Mu swore that this was the first time she had come into contact with these things. If she really understood them, she would never hide them from anyone else, and she would never hide them from Tugou!
Thinking back to the puzzled and suspicious look in Lu Yingying's eyes when she left yesterday, the feeling of being wronged and suffocated made her unable to sleep well the whole night!
When he heard the term "GDP per capita", Yang Mo immediately reacted as he remembered his classmate Tugou who had suddenly disappeared yesterday afternoon.

Hi~!

This is what all the fuss is about!

Glancing at Miss Mu, who was still trembling, Yang Mo asked cautiously, "Where did that country girl go yesterday afternoon?"

Miss Mu snorted: "Yes."

Yang Mo blinked his eyes: "Did that girl ask you about the GDP per capita?"

Miss Mu took a deep breath and said, "Yes... She also asked me if I could help her get a relatively detailed data from the Municipal Statistics Bureau."

Yang Mo, who had basically figured out the situation, swallowed his saliva, then smiled awkwardly: "Well... I think you really wronged me... I may have opposed that girl getting too close to you before, but... aren't we friends who have fought side by side? Didn't you see that I invited you to the rooftop to brag last time... Now, how could I still oppose that girl playing with you, and even go so far as to trip you up?"

Yang Mo had actually been confused for a long time as to why Miss Mu looked at Tugou differently and why they got along so well.

But later I vaguely realized that this might be a projection effect based on personality complementarity.

In other words, the heartless character of classmate Tugou is actually something that the young lady envies and yearns for extremely. The two people whose situations are actually quite similar have been together for a long time. Miss Mu vaguely imagines classmate Tugou as another herself, and places some very strange emotions on that girl.

After realizing this, Yang naturally understood why this young lady cared so much about a country girl, and naturally would not object to the two of them sticking together all day.

When Mu Liya heard Yang Mo mention the roof, her expression finally improved a little, but she was still angry: "Then why did you say that those things are the basics of the basics for me... I know what I know, and I don't know what I don't know... Yingying trusts you so much, do you know how Yingying will look at me when you say that?"

Yang Mo scratched his head in annoyance, then leaned forward in disbelief: "No... Miss Mu, you really don't understand these things?... Are you kidding me?"

This is the truth. In Yang Mo's impression, families like Miss Mu's are 100% elite education. Many ordinary people can only access fragmented knowledge. In their circle, everything is taught in a systematic way. Since Miss Mu chose the tertiary industry project as her starting point, there is no doubt that her family must be from the Department of Finance. How could she not know such basic issues as the meaning behind per capita GDP and the corresponding characteristics of each range?

"you!"

Mu Liya's face turned red and she stood up with a bang.

But looking at Yang Mo's innocent and puzzled face, she had no place to vent the anger in her chest.

After gritting her teeth for a while, Miss Mu's anger gradually turned into helpless frustration.

"I know you are very capable... but let me emphasize again, I really don't understand these... okay?" Miss Mu's face showed a rare look of frustration, and when she looked at Yang Mo, there was suddenly a hint of incomprehensible gleam in her eyes.

Really don’t understand?

When Yang Mo saw her like this, he suddenly felt a toothache...
