Era: A college student came to the courtyard house

The cafeteria is still the one closest to the administration building.

Fang Yuan naturally walked among the group, and as soon as he entered the cafeteria, he immediately attracted a lot of attention.

It wasn't because of his status, but because he was even more handsome than Jiang Quan and the others, making him stand out even more.

The five people lined up at the back of the queue, and soon it was Fang Yuan's turn to get the food.

As they sat down to eat at a table, the women nearby began to whisper among themselves.

"Hey, the college students are here again."

"Wait a minute, isn't he in the General Affairs Section? Why do the people around him all seem to be from the Inspection Section?"

"Yes, she's from the Inspection Department. That girl's name is Wang Qian. She used to work in our Finance Department, and she was transferred not long ago."

Seeing that Li Jufang ignored them and only talked about eating, the group immediately guessed that she must know something.

"Xiao Li, tell me quickly, what's going on?"

It wasn't until Vice Chairman Shen of the Women's Federation asked that Li Jufang put down her chopsticks and explained, "You guys are out of touch. She's already been promoted to section chief in the Supervision Department. I'm going to post the announcement this afternoon."

"this..."

The girls who were initially hesitant now abandoned all pretense of modesty and sat down next to Li Jufang to inquire about the situation.

This is no longer just a potential stock; it's a rising star.

After Fang Yuan and his group finished lunch and left, the workers from several workshops of the steel rolling mill came over to get their meals.

Second Uncle and Qin Huairu were naturally in the group as well.

Upon hearing everyone discussing that Fang Yuan had been promoted and even become the section chief of the inspection department, the second uncle felt a surge of jealousy.

Although he is currently a level seven forger with a decent salary and everyone in the workshop respectfully calls him "Master Liu," he still longs to be a manager and dreams of experiencing what it's like to be praised.

Seeing that Fang Yuan, despite his young age, had already become a section chief with real power, he became increasingly angry.

Why are these shredded potatoes so sour today?

Qin Huairu's eyes lit up, and she thought she should hurry up and invite her cousin over to stay for a few days so that she could have more contact with Fang Yuan.

come back to the office.

Fang Yuan first told Wang Qian and the others to take a lunch break, while he went out to the office of the Second Comprehensive Section. He had been busy with conversations all morning and hadn't had time to pack his own things.

Upon entering, I found Qian Jianing engrossed in reading the foreign novel "A Study in Scarlet".

Qian Jianing, who usually had a cold face towards others, smiled and congratulated Fang Yuan softly when he entered the room, which was unusual for her: "Section Chief Fang, congratulations! You've finally escaped your misery."

Qian Jianing never beats around the bush when she speaks.

"Thank you." Seeing her hint at something, Fang Yuan immediately replied with a smile, "However, I don't agree with your last sentence. With you in our Comprehensive Department Two, how can it be a sea of ​​suffering?"

Qian Jianing was slightly taken aback, then instantly realized what she meant and immediately retorted, "Don't you think people become glib and slick once they get promoted?"

Fang Yuan took his notebook out of the drawer and replied, "I don't agree with that, but I think a person's nature doesn't change with promotion; it's more likely that their true nature will gradually be revealed."

Qian Jianing rolled her eyes at him and replied, "Really? You mean I misjudged you?"

Fang Yuan denied it, saying, "No, I am still the same person you see, I just say different things depending on who I'm talking to."

Qian Jianing's eyes darted around, and she concluded, "So you mean you speak to people in a human way and to ghosts in a ghost way? In your eyes, am I a human or a ghost?"

"Of course I'm a person," Fang Yuan chuckled and continued, "but you can also talk nonsense sometimes."

Qian Jianing was slightly taken aback. She propped her pink cheeks up with her hand and said angrily, "Did you hear something? Did you come here specifically to teach me how to do things?"

Fang Yuan neither admitted nor denied it, and said, "Comrade Qian Jianing, I only said this because I consider you a friend. Although I haven't been in our Second Section for long, I have at least figured out some things."

Seeing Fang Yuan's serious expression, Qian Jianing also put away her novel and said solemnly, "You mean, I need to change my habits in dealing with people?"

"Humans are, after all, social animals; it's very difficult to be an independent creature and not conform to the group."

Fang Yuan stopped what he was doing, pondered for a moment, and then continued, "Our society is made up of the masses. If you can't do without them, you have to learn to cooperate. The work of the General Affairs Department is neither like that of a teacher nor like that of a technician in our factory. Most of the work requires overall coordination. If you want to carry out the work well, it is obviously far from enough to rely on the strength of one person."

"Everyone in the Second Comprehensive Department knows you have connections, but colleagues still need to get along. Although I've only been here a few days, I've noticed that most of them don't talk to you, or rather, they're afraid to talk to you."

"Of course, this doesn't mean you should deliberately try to please others, but at least you shouldn't be isolated by everyone."

"You make such a logical argument, so tell me, what should I do?"

When Qian Jianing saw that Fang Yuan had ruthlessly exposed her situation, she immediately stopped trying to hide it. She had been working at a school before, and this time it was her family who insisted on transferring her to Hongxing Steel Plant.

After arriving, she discovered that the office environment in the big company was completely different from what she had experienced at school.

"How do you do it? You are the deputy section chief, so you naturally have an advantage in status. As long as you take the initiative to put down your airs, I think all of this will be fine. You don't need to get along too well with others. As long as they don't secretly trip you up, they might even become your help. Of course, I believe you don't actually need that kind of help."

Just like his previous definition of Qin Huairu, Qian Jianing has both beauty and power. As long as she doesn't put on airs, it's easy for her to get along with others.

Qian Jianing suddenly felt as if Fang Yuan could see right through her.

But being proud by nature, she didn't want to admit that Fang Yuan was right so easily. She immediately gave a soft hum and muttered, "You talk as if you know me very well."

Seeing that she seemed to be deep in thought, Fang Yuan stopped talking.

He huddled all his belongings in his arms and said, "Oh right, I forgot to bring that M-anthology today. I'll return it to you tomorrow."

Qian Jianing was still immersed in what Fang Yuan had said, and waved her hand dismissively, saying, "Never mind, I have plenty at home. Consider it a gift for your promotion to the Supervision Department."

"Alright, then I'll use it to arm my mind from now on and do more good deeds." Fang Yuan replied, walking out of the office of the Second Comprehensive Section without stopping.

at the same time.

Li Jianye was also earnestly trying to persuade Li Zhe.

"Listen to your uncle, we should bow our heads when necessary. Bowing now is so that we can stand up straighter in the future. Fang Yuan is now a favorite of Secretary Lin, so it's not shameful for us to humble ourselves before him."

After Li Jianye's analysis, Li Zhe slumped weakly in his chair and replied listlessly, "I understand, Uncle. I'll just avoid him from now on, okay?"

Ever since he learned that Fang Yuan had been transferred to the Inspection Department as a section chief, Li Zhe had secretly hidden himself when he saw Fang Yuan at the stairwell.

Although he was also treated as a section chief, in the comprehensive section where everyone was a section chief or deputy section chief, he was at best a pawn. Fang Yuan was a newcomer, but in less than ten days, Fang Yuan had already surpassed him.

Having a substantive position and not having one are not comparable.

The thought of how he had been acting like a senior figure in front of Fang Yuan not long ago made him feel even more ashamed.

"If you want to just keep drifting along like this, then hiding is fine. But if you want to make something of yourself, you'd better go and apologize to him. There are many talented people in this world, but not many who are lucky."

"Fang Yuan is someone who is both talented and lucky, but don't be discouraged. There's still a long road ahead, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. The fact that he went to the Supervision Department means that Secretary Lin is unlikely to choose him as his secretary."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhe's eyes lit up, and he perked up, quickly straightening up and saying, "So, I still have hope?"

Li Jianye didn't answer him, but continued to earnestly advise him: "Let's not talk about that today. Your uncle will teach you a piece of advice from the bottom of his heart: a person's life is like an oil-paper umbrella; you have to be able to fold it up and open it up."

"We're putting it away today so we can unfold it better later."

After telling Li Zhe to go back and think it over, Li Jianye leaned back in his chair helplessly, muttering, "It's not that your uncle doesn't want to help you, but I really have no other choice. I'm a widow, and I have no one to rely on."

Initially, the reason he didn't immediately move closer to Lin Xianghua was because he also sensed that Su Haixiong's time at Hongxing Steel Plant might not be long.

He had done his best to complete the tasks assigned by Su Haixiong, but after Director Yang talked to him recently and gave him subtle hints, he began to waver.

But now, looking back, I realize that this move might have been a mistake.

Trying to avoid offending either side often results in offending both.

Historically, surrender has never ended well.

You should just stand back where you were.

From now on, we must take Lin Xianghua's arrangements seriously. The entire Hongxing Steel Plant knows that he came with Su Haixiong's approval, and his intentions are self-evident.

Hopefully, Lin Xianghua will be able to withstand the pressure once Director Yang takes over.

.....

come back to the office.

With Gu Weijie's help, Fang Yuan put everything away.

With half an hour left before work, I took out the inspection regulations and rules and read them for a while.

The content is not complicated; the main duties and powers of the Inspection Section are not much different from those of later generations.

Of course, this is what is written on paper. In today's society governed by men, how it actually operates depends entirely on the will of those at the top.

Fang Yuan then took out the file folder that Wang Qingling had given him, opened it, and slowly flipped through it.

Publicity Department, Steel Rolling Mill.

Lin Xianghua actually told him to follow the trail of the beating at the steel rolling mill and investigate these two departments.

I am!

In that instant, Fang Yuan suddenly felt that he didn't need the position of section chief.

Lin Xianghua actually sent someone who had only been there for a few days to investigate two division-level leaders. Isn't that like lighting a lamp in the toilet—courting death?

Fang Yuan took a few deep drags on his cigarette, slowly calming himself down before finishing reading the documents.

Fortunately, the document did not specify a deadline, allowing him to investigate at his own pace.

As the work bell rang in my ears.

Fang Yuan stuffed the documents back into the file folder and then locked it in his desk drawer.

Just as he was about to call a small meeting to clarify the next tasks, Li Jianye walked in first from the doorway.

"Director Li,"

"Hello, Director Li."

Li Jianye waved to Wang Qian and the others with a serious expression, then walked straight to Fang Yuan.

"Director Li."

Just as Fang Yuan was about to get up, Li Jianye's face immediately turned into a bright smile. He grabbed Fang Yuan's hand and said softly, "Little Fang, I just came to see you. You've already started your new job, why don't you come visit me?"

Faced with Li Jianye's lies, Fang Yuan naturally countered with a set of lies: "Director Li, there's really no time. I've been busy with talks all morning. I was just about to go to your place. I'm so grateful for your help when I was in the Second Division."

"I understand, I appreciate your kind gesture." Releasing his grip, Li Jianye glanced around the square desk and asked, "Is there anything else you need? Just let me know, and I'll get it for you."

Fang Yuan hurriedly said, "Thank you, Director. I have everything I need here; all my office supplies are readily available."

"Oh!" Li Jianye said, a little disappointed. "Is there really nothing I can help with?"
