1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 95: General Office Returning to the Edge
By mid-May, the weather had started to get hot, so the rookies who found that the situation in their department was not very good began to get annoyed.

Jingle bell bell~
"Okay, okay!"

After hanging up the phone, Cai Zhaofeng, who had been smiling flatteringly, suddenly frowned: "Linpan is planning to build a petroleum battle memorial hall, and the company's labor union is planning to plan a hall of honor there. They want us to go and hold a meeting and come up with a plan...Xiao Huang, Xiao Li, prepare paper and pen, and follow me to Linpan."

The two team members looked at each other in bewilderment: "Lin Pan? Come up with a plan? Team leader...but isn't this the job of the union?"

Such memorial halls built by lower-level units are basically self-congratulatory face projects, and can be large or small. In fact, given the current environment, it is impossible to build a very large one. Maybe they just vacate a few spare bungalows, put a few old artifacts, and hang a few photos.

Things like this are basically given to retiring veteran union cadres to "make use of their remaining energy." They really couldn't have imagined that this job would be assigned to them, and to be their lackeys... Isn't this bullying?

Cai Zhaofeng glared at the two lackeys impatiently, completely missing the intimacy they had two months ago: "Why are there so many questions... Hurry up, the car is already waiting at the door of the union!"

The two second-generation rookies, who felt that they had fallen into the hands of the pony, responded with some frustration, and then stood up obediently...

………………

"What? Ask us to conduct follow-up research at the grassroots level, and then produce a report on the current status of the implementation of the work of reducing the burden on production units... Uh, but shouldn't this be the job of the General Manager's Office?... Is this what Secretary Xie meant? Because the General Manager's Office's recent work focus is on settling the families of employees, and it can't temporarily allocate manpower?... Uh, okay."

Bao Shuxian hung up the phone unhappily. After sighing for a while, he glanced at his two apprentices, a boy and a girl, and pointed at the boy dejectedly: "Xiao Chen, get ready when you go back today. Follow me to the grassroots for a few days tomorrow... Bring a set of spare clothes with you, because you may not be able to come back the same day."

A skinny girl looked a little aggrieved: "Team Leader Bao, why haven't you assigned me any work recently... Is it because I didn't perform well?"

Bao Shuxian scratched his head in annoyance: "It has nothing to do with this, but... forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you, you just need to know that the recent work is dirty and tiring, and a little girl like you may not be able to handle it... You can take over when the time comes to put pen to paper."

Seeing her good-tempered team leader getting a little mad, the little girl blinked her eyes and then said "oh" obediently...

………………

"Well? The tanker truck of the transport brigade didn't pay attention to the road when passing the village entrance and hit and killed two sheep. Then the villagers surrounded it and wouldn't let it go? ... You should pay the compensation! ... Isn't this the job of the Industrial and Agricultural Science Department?"

"What? The Department of Industry and Agriculture asked you to go to the General Office, saying that they have too many things to do and don't have time to deal with such a small matter?"

"This……"

After hanging up the phone, Su Yu's face looked unusually gloomy.

"Wang Zhiquan, call the small fleet and arrange a car urgently... Remember, 212 is the best."

"Yang Yongfeng, go to the Finance Department and fill out an emergency application to withdraw 500 yuan... Remember, go to the Finance Department, not the Finance Group of the Industry and Agriculture Department... Don't go to the wrong place!"

Unlike other team leaders, Su Yu always calls team members by their full names. After hearing the arrangements, the two team members took action immediately without any hesitation.

Taking advantage of this gap, Su Yu glanced at an empty desk, then looked at the director's office with the door tightly closed. He sighed slightly, with a hint of worry between his brows...

………………

"Center Cannon!"

"Jump the horse!"

"Flying elephant!"

"Arm your pawn!"

"Look at me setting up the chain gun!"

"Hey, what the hell!"

"Take the car!"

"Two horses in a row...it depends on whether you are willing to exchange this car for my horse."

In the director's office, Yang Mo proudly clapped the chess pieces in his hands, then took a sip of tea happily.

Zhang Wenshun stared at the pieces on the chessboard with a sad face. After thinking hard for a long time, he scrambled the pieces on the board in a shameless manner: "You are so ruthless. I let you win this game again... Here, I accept the loss. Here is the stakes!"

Yang Mo took the big Chongjiu thrown by the fat man with a smile on his face, stuffed it into his already bulging Jiefang bag, and blinked his eyes: "Director, shall we... have another round?" Zhang Wenshun waved his hand unhappily: "More? You've almost pocketed all of my big Chongjiu! Where would I get the money to gamble... No more! No more!"

As he spoke, he touched his empty pockets and said viciously, "You have no sense at all... You little brat, give me a cigarette, I'm completely empty!"

Yang Mo reluctantly took out an unopened box of Da Zhongjiu from his bag, opened it, then took out one stingily and handed it over.

Zhang Wenshun saw how this guy was guarding the box of cigarettes so tightly, and glared at him with a look of disapproval: "Look at how useless you are, other subordinates can't wait to push whole cartons of cigarettes in front of their leaders... but you're so good, not only do you take cigarettes from me, but you're also so stingy when you hand me a cigarette, as if you're afraid that I'll snatch it away... You're lucky to have met me, if it's any other leader, you'll be in trouble!"

Yang Mo took out an old-fashioned Da Chongjiu from the cigarette box and put it between his lips, then looked at him with a smile: "Director, what you said is meaningless... If it were any other leader, let alone asking for free cigarettes, as long as they gave me a look, I would definitely give them a whole carton of cigarettes without saying a word... But I'm going to say something you may not like to hear, it's easy for me to give you cigarettes, but if I want to ask for free cigarettes... not everyone is qualified."

Zhang Wenshun laughed when he heard this, picked up the ceramic jar and took a sip of strong tea: "Hehe, you are quite interesting. I never saw you being so close to me before, but now that I am down and out, you are sticking to me... What's the matter? Have you read too many novels and learned the trick of Master Guan, who bullies the strong but does not humiliate the weak?"

This sounds reasonable. Ever since Yang Mo withdrew from the management guidance group, the influence of the General Office in the tertiary industry pilot project has plummeted. I don't know if this fat guy is in a bad mood. In the end, he simply ignored the things over there and even found various excuses not to attend related meetings.

State-owned enterprises are a very realistic circle. The initiative of the project is no longer in your hands, and you are so disrespectful. I'm sorry, since you have taken the initiative to cut off the cause and effect, don't blame us for not remembering our friendship.

As a result, without the care of personal connections, the General Office, which had nothing to rely on, quickly became a marginal department under the existing ecological rules of the drilling company. Anyone could step on it... and because it had offended many people some time ago, some departments stepped on it even more.

Hearing this, Yang Mo blinked his eyes and said in a very aggrieved tone: "Director, am I that stupid in your eyes?"

"Bullying the strong without insulting the weak? I don't have the arrogance of Master Guan!"

"In the final analysis, I am just a vulgar person who can't be more vulgar... and I have a little gambling addiction... If I don't take this opportunity to get close to you now, I'm afraid I won't have such a good opportunity in the future!"

The implication is obvious: everyone knows that if you want to make someone feel pain, you must pull your elbow back before punching.

We are all smart people. Yang Mo can naturally see that you, the fat guy, are acting out of character by cutting off all causes and consequences, just to gain a stronger voice and initiative in the future... Your current attempts to get close to others are nothing more than speculation.

Zhang Wenshun smiled even more happily when he heard this.

Yang Mo's words may sound blunt, but they are very measured. In interpersonal interactions, there is often the awkward situation of "resentment when far away, rudeness when close".

Regardless of whether Zhang Wenshun has his own plans, even if he is really in trouble now, if Yang Mo speaks to him from the bottom of his heart and says a lot of personal words today, he may be deeply moved today, but when he wakes up, he will definitely feel uncomfortable all over. After a few days, he may even feel that he doesn't like this guy at all, and even doesn't want to see him... This has nothing to do with whether he is a heartless person or not, it is purely the self-defense mechanism in human nature.

But Yang Mo now has a nakedly utilitarian face, which is a different matter.

Although Zhang Wenshun knew that this boy actually had a certain degree of closeness and recognition towards him due to various reasons, with that thin layer of utilitarianism as a barrier, this closeness and recognition did not make him feel psychologically unnatural.

The balance is very subtle, just like the plot in a soap opera: a male protagonist who says "I love you" all the time may temporarily impress the female protagonist, but he cannot bring her enough sense of security; but a somewhat arrogant male who finds small excuses to silently care about the female protagonist will undoubtedly be more likely to end up with her.

………………

After thinking for a while, Zhang Wenshun took the initiative to reach out from Yang Mo's pocket and snatched the opened box of Da Chongjiu, then looked at him with a smile: "Stinky boy, you have been sneaking out all the time recently. Tell me the truth, how long do you think we have to stay in the house and play chess?"

This bastard is a lazy person. If no one forces him to do so, he can even stay in the office all day. Therefore, why he has suddenly become diligent recently, the trick is self-evident.

Seeing the fat guy's reaction and the intriguing name he gave to the two, Yang Mo's eyes twitched, and then he pondered for a while: "Things are changing faster than I expected... Based on my observations during this period of time, I guess I can only stay here for a month at most, right?"

A month?

Zhang Wenshun frowned. This time was far longer than he expected… He originally thought that he would have to hold on for at least another half a year.

He looked at Yang Mo meaningfully... What kind of trap did this bastard set in the first place? Why did it explode so soon?

Scratching his double chin, Zhang Wenshun sat up straight, showing a rare serious expression: "Boy, to be honest, I'm a little passive with such a short time... Tell me, what do I need to cooperate with?"

Hearing the two meanings in the words, Yang Mo smiled heartlessly: "It is said that plans are not as fast as changes, but it is really uncomfortable to put it on myself... Having said that, some of this work does require your help."

Zhang Wenshun nodded after hearing this. "That's right. What this world lacks most is surprises and changes... Do you have any dirty work that needs an old man like me to do?"

Yang Mo was speechless: "Hey, hey, hey, Director, you can't be so disrespectful... What do you mean by dirty work that cannot be seen in public? Do you think I dare to do dirty work with so many eyes watching me?"

Zhang Wenshun laughed out loud, his tone full of relief: "It's good that you know!"
