Chapter 649 Office Administration

Suning's life stabilized again, and he devoted himself to the thesis. Whenever he had free time in the department of the unit, he would take the reference books and start studying there. This was still rare in the government agencies where there were too many people and too little work to do, so Suning unknowingly became the target of attention.

"Suning, why didn't you go back to the dormitory last night?" Looking at Suning sitting there looking at a pile of documents as if no one was around, a colleague who shared the dormitory with Suning asked Suning in confusion.

"Brother Qi, my relatives have vacated an empty house for me. I can occasionally go back and stay there for a few days." Su Ning looked up at the colleague in a daze, then explained to his colleague with a smile.

"Oh? Suning, isn't your hometown Qingdao, Shandong? Do you have relatives in Beijing?"

"Yes! I have relatives in Beijing." At this time, Suning found that almost all the colleagues in the department looked at Su Ning curiously.

"Suning, since you have relatives in Beijing, why don't you just move in with them? Isn't it much better than our dormitory?" Looking at the sunny and handsome Suning in front of him, Qi Dazhuang always unconsciously wanted to compare.

"Brother Qi, sometimes I need to look up information and do experiments, so I can't stay at my relatives' house every day."

"Haha, what Su Ning said makes a lot of sense. How can we be like you, Qi Dazhuang, who is ignorant all day long?" At this time, Deputy Chief Zhao of their department, holding a large teacup in his hand, suddenly ran over and interrupted with a smile.

"Chief Zhao, I'm not as bad as you say. I usually love studying." Qi Dazhuang couldn't help feeling embarrassed when he was suddenly teased by the department leader, even though he knew it was just a joke between colleagues.

"Come on! Qi Dazhuang, we are all colleagues in the same department, we all know each other!" Obviously, Section Chief Zhao wanted to take advantage of the situation to stir up trouble, but he didn't realize that he would involve the most innocent Suning.

Hearing the words of Section Chief Zhao in front of him, Qi Dazhuang thought that he was just a small deputy engineer, and immediately returned to his desk tactfully. He didn't dare to argue with Section Chief Zhao anymore. After all, sometimes it is most appropriate to take the initiative to give in and show weakness.

At this moment, Section Chief Zhao couldn't help but look at Su Ning a few more times, and soon he couldn't help showing a surprised expression. He quickly put down the large teapot in his hand and rudely ran to touch Su Ning's clothes. "Suning, your suit is amazing! It's made of British tweed material, and it's completely handmade. I saw it when I was inspecting in Hong Kong a few days ago. It seems that each one costs 5,000 Hong Kong dollars."

"Oh no?"

At this moment, the small department of the Supervision Department immediately became lively as if a pot had exploded. Everyone ran to Suning and started to touch him. Seeing the dirty hands vying for touch one after another, and the mouths of amazement that could be seen when they looked up, Suning was simply stunned.

"Suning, how much did you spend on this dress?" Section Chief Zhao asked Suning with his eyes wide open.

"I don't know! My ex-girlfriend gave it to me two years ago." Looking at his colleagues who were acting like wolves and tigers around him, Suning had already thought of a countermeasure in advance.

"What? Was it a gift from your ex-girlfriend?" At this time, the colleagues around him looked at Suning in surprise again.

"Huh? Yes! This tattered piece of clothing doesn't even have a decent trademark. Isn't it just an ordinary street stall item?" Suning immediately pretended to be ignorant and explained with great confidence.

"Suning, are you stupid? This is called low-key luxury with connotation. It seems that your ex-girlfriend is not simple!" Hearing Suning's "shameless words", Section Chief Zhao felt that his nose was about to be crooked by anger.

"Huh?" After hearing what Section Chief Zhao said, Su Ningke really didn't know how to respond.

At this time, another deputy section chief, Section Chief Qin, also came over. After hearing Section Chief Zhao and other colleagues talking, he couldn't help but look at Su Ning with a surprised expression. Then he said to the colleagues who were watching the excitement, "Alright! Everyone, get back to work! If other departments see this, you don't know what will happen!"

"." At this time, the colleagues in the department reluctantly returned to their desks.

At this time, Section Chief Qin looked at Su Ning with a smile and asked, "Su Ning, where is your teacup? Why didn't I see it today?"

"Huh? Chief Qin, I didn't go back to the dormitory yesterday. The teacup should still be there."

"Oh? I happen to have a new teacup here, you can use it first." At this time, Section Chief Qin suddenly took out a brand new teacup from the drawer of his desk, and placed it directly on Su Ning's desk without any explanation.

"Ah? Thank you so much, Chief Qin." Su Ning quickly stood up in surprise to express his gratitude.

"You're welcome."

After Section Chief Qin smiled and turned back to his desk, Section Chief Zhao beside him miraculously took out a thermos cup and handed it to Su Ning, "Suning, the weather in Beijing is getting colder, you'd better use this thermos cup."

"Huh? Thank you, Section Chief Zhao." At this moment, Su Ning didn't know what to say. It was obvious that Section Chief Zhao was reluctant to use this thermos.

At this time, Section Chief Zhao looked at Section Chief Qin from a distance, then smiled indifferently at Su Ning and returned to his desk. However, when Su Ning looked at the two different cups on his desk, he was in an awkward dilemma.

Two ordinary drinking cups were involved in the fight between Section Chief Zhao and Section Chief Qin. They gave him the cups not because they really cared about him, but because they saw that he had relatives in Beijing. In addition, he was wearing decent and unpretentious clothes, which made them realize that he might have a background. So this was a warning to him to consider standing in line. This was the office politics that made people feel headache. Su Ning suddenly realized that the days to come were becoming more and more interesting.

After spending many days together in close proximity, Suning's relationship with Zhang Kejian and his wife has become much more harmonious. There is no longer the unfamiliarity and awkwardness that they felt at the beginning. Instead, they each regard each other as family. As they become familiar with each other, they talk to each other more and more.

Zhang Kejian's wife, knitting a sweater while wearing reading glasses, asked Su Ning, who was playing chess with Zhang Kejian, puzzledly, "Suning, we've never heard you mention your parents. What do they do for a living?"

"Huh? Auntie, my parents are both overseas Chinese, running small businesses abroad. When I applied to a language university, I wanted to take advantage of the fact that I already knew foreign languages."

"Oh? Suning, then your parents are not planning to return to China?" Zhang Kejian, who was racking his brains over whether to jump off the horse or go into the army, looked up at Suning in confusion and asked.

"Uncle, I don't think so. After all, they have become accustomed to life abroad." Thinking of the plot arranged by the system and the nature of the system, Suning explained to Zhang Kejian and his wife very cautiously.

"Well, that's true, but it's quite pitiful for you to be alone in the country."

"It's okay! I have been very adaptable since I was a child, and I am used to living a free and unrestrained life alone." Hearing that Zhang Kejian felt a little sorry for himself for being alone, Suning quickly smiled and said indifferently.

"Suning, you are already an adult, why don't you have a girlfriend?" At this time, Zhang Kejian's wife, who was knitting a sweater, suddenly asked Suning again.

"Hey, I'm only 26 this year, no rush!"

"Silly child, you're not in a hurry to be twenty-six? Do you really think you're sixteen?" Hearing Su Ning's disapproving laughter, Zhang Kejian and his wife were both amused and scolded.

"Uncle, aunt, I actually had a girlfriend at Jinzhou Chemical Plant. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also very simple in her dealings with others."

"Ah? Suning, it seems like there's a story behind this?" Hearing Suning praising a girl like that, Zhang Kejian and his wife showed curious expressions.

"Yes! This girl was so naive that she completely believed in her parents' arrangements. What's worse is that her parents are very scheming people, so she and I had to separate in the end."

"Suning, can you please tell me in detail what happened?" At this time, Zhang Kejian's wife had put down the half-knitted sweater, and then she and Zhang Kejian looked at Suning with gossip on their faces.

"Uncle, aunt, this girl has an older brother, and he's the kind of person who doesn't know anything about family. The girl's father is the head of a branch of Jinzhou Chemical Plant, and he's obsessed with planning for his son and their family." Seeing that Zhang Kejian and his wife were very interested, Suning explained everything in detail, and then quickly presented the complicated situation of Jinzhou Chemical Plant. "Hasn't the new workshop of Jinzhou Chemical Plant become a hot commodity in the past two years? The products produced in the new workshop are all exported to earn foreign exchange, and many people in the country want to use their connections to get the products of the new workshop, so there are huge interests involved. I happen to be the workshop director of the new workshop, and then the girl's family asked me to provide their family with products from the new workshop, but after I gritted my teeth and met their first request for one thousand tons of products, their family was so unsatisfied that they asked me to continue to provide products." "Suning, this is your fault. You shouldn't have agreed to them in the first place. You must never do things that violate principles." After hearing Su Ning's detailed explanation, Zhang Kejian became unhappy.

"Hey, uncle, it's not that I like that girl, and I don't want her to be caught in the middle, so I gritted my teeth and agreed to their first request. In addition, in order to rush out this batch of 1,000 tons of products as soon as possible without affecting foreign trade, I stayed in the new workshop for more than a month, eating and sleeping. In order to appease the grievances in the hearts of my colleagues, I often brought them some hard dishes like braised pork as snacks. Finally, after the goods were delivered, I invited all my colleagues and their families out for dinner. In the end, I spent more money than their family earned in intermediary fees. Suddenly, I feel that it would be better to just give them the money directly."

"Haha, you deserve it! This is the consequence of having no principles." After hearing Suning's extremely depressed explanation, Zhang Kejian and his wife both laughed.

"Uncle, aunt, this isn't the worst. The worst is that they forced me to write a letter of apology. I finally realized they just wanted to control me so I could be used as a tool to make money and help my brother-in-law climb the social ladder."

"Ah? How can it be so excessive?" At this time, Zhang Kejian and his wife were completely stunned.

"So, I really couldn't take it anymore, so I decided to break up with that girl directly."

"Well, Suning, you did the right thing. Since we have discovered that neither party is suitable, it is better to break up sooner rather than later." After hearing the cause and effect of the matter, Zhang Kejian and his wife nodded in agreement.

"Uncle, aunt, after this incident, I've finally come to terms with it. When it comes to relationships, it's better to be alone than to be with someone who is not your average person."

"Suning, you can't throw the baby out with the bathwater. I'll introduce you to a better one tomorrow." Zhang Kejian's wife said disapprovingly.

"Forget it! Auntie, I still believe in fate. My other half may not have appeared yet!" Suning is not in the mood to think about this problem now. His mind is full of thoughts about the advancement of his personal career.

In fact, Suning rarely went to Zhang's house. When he occasionally went back, he would cook for the two old people himself. After all, with the god-level cooking skills he had acquired in other worlds, it was very easy to satisfy the appetites of the two old people.

"Suning, it turns out that your cooking skills are so good!" Zhang Kejian looked at Suning with admiration and found that Suning really could do everything.

"Haha, uncle, aunt, to be honest with you, I don't have any hobbies. I just think about eating." Suning said without any modesty. He was really confident in his cooking skills.

"Haha, Suning, how is your thesis going?" Zhang Kejian asked Suning while eating the delicious food made by Suning.

"Uncle, I wrote two papers at once, both about polyethylene, and I am preparing to publish them in the next two days." Hearing Zhang Kejian's concern for him, Su Ning explained to Zhang Kejian with a smile.

"Oh? Then give me the paper tomorrow. I have an acquaintance at Chemical Industry of China magazine. If the quality of the paper is good, I will let them know in advance. This will also increase the chances of your paper being published."

"Haha, that's great! I'll give it to you tomorrow." Suning knew that it was easier to get things done with someone, so he immediately agreed happily.

Suning is not a young man who knows nothing, nor will he be stubborn like a fool in order to show his own morality. He is very happy to receive help from Zhang Kejian. At the same time, he is not hypocritical and self-righteous. He is very happy to have Zhang Kejian help him.

The next day, when Suning came to Zhang's house again, he was carrying a lot of rice, flour, grain and oil on his shoulders. He was worried that Zhang Kejian and his wife were too old and it would be too troublesome for them to buy these big things. Suning happened to solve this problem thoughtfully. After all, this was a small thing that he could do.

"Oh! Suning, why did you buy so much rice, flour, grain and oil?" Zhang Kejian's wife took the things Suning brought with surprise, and then said with some complaints.

"Haha, Auntie, when I was cooking yesterday, I found that we didn't have much food at home. It just so happened that I bought some together today, so you and uncle don't have to carry it up and down."

"Hey! You are such a sensible kid."

After putting down the large items such as rice, flour, grain and oil, Suning gave the two papers to Zhang Kejian in the study. Although Zhang Kejian was not a practitioner in the chemical industry, he still had the necessary basic knowledge and experience. He easily noticed the foresight and high quality of Suning's two papers, and felt that they were definitely good papers of world-class level.

"Suning, the quality of your two papers is very high!" Zhang Kejian couldn't help but look at Suning in surprise, and suddenly felt that Suning was really extraordinary.

"Uncle, do you also think there are no major problems with my two papers?"

"Yes, no problem at all!" Zhang Kejian nodded with a smile on his face. He hadn't expected Suning's chemical technology to be so impressive. "Suning, I'll personally send it to Chemical Industry of China for publication. I think it should be published in the next issue."

"Haha, that's great." Su Ning was also pleasantly surprised at this time. Because he was too subtle at the Chemical Headquarters, Su Ning also wanted to make a breakthrough in fame as soon as possible. "Uncle, with these two papers, my life at the Chemical Headquarters will be better."

"Well, you are so outstanding, the leaders will definitely see it."

Thanks to Zhang Kejian's personal submission and the high quality of the two papers, they were soon published in the "China Chemical Industry" magazine, and Suning's name became famous in the domestic chemical industry for the first time.

But sometimes being famous is not necessarily a good thing, and some negative effects will soon appear. Just now, Suning was called into the director's office because someone has set his eyes on the interests in Suning's hands and wants to take a piece of the pie from Suning.

Yan, the director of the Technical Supervision Department at the Chemical Industry Headquarters, was reading the latest issue of Chemical Industry China magazine. When Su Ning politely knocked on the door and entered the office, Yan put down the magazine with a look of reluctance, looked at Su Ning, and said, "Suning, did you write these two papers on polyethylene?"

"Yes! Yan Si."

"Ah! What a pity." Yan Si shook his head with some regret, then explained to Su Ning, "If the first author of your two papers was someone more influential, it might have caused a greater sensation."

"What Director Yan said makes sense. This is also the first time I've published a paper of this kind, so I'm not very familiar with the specific details. But next time I'll have more experience in this area."

"Well, Suning, if you publish a paper next time, you must notify the department in advance, and then the department will publish it uniformly, so that we will appear to be a whole." Hearing Su Ning's empty words, Director Yan suddenly looked at Su Ning meaningfully.

"Yan Si, I understand."

Of course, Su Ning understood the subtext of Yan Si's words. He should make Yan Si the first author of the paper so that everyone can benefit from it. However, Su Ning never thought of compromising. After all, the paper was the result of his hard work.

Director Yan probably noticed Su Ning's disapproval, so he smiled and made a promise to Su Ning, "Suning, headquarters is planning to promote a chief engineer soon. His rank and salary will be raised to deputy director. In fact, the company has always been optimistic about you. I hope you won't let them down."

"Thank you, Yan Si. I will definitely work hard."

"Well, get down and get busy!"

After all, Suning has experienced too many things, and he would not be naive enough to think that this was a promise made by Yan Si to him. Instead, he clearly knew that this was the bait thrown by Yan Si just to tempt him to work hard for him.

No matter how great the temptation others give him, Suning still firmly maintains his original intention, believing that consolidating his basic abilities is the most important thing. Only by becoming a role that no one can do without can he truly realize his greatest ambitions and ideals.
