Siheyuan: Breaking up with Shazhu at the beginning

37

Just now he was planning to use this to humiliate him, but now he found that he was as small as an ant in front of him, and any action he took could be fatal.

After taking a puff of cigarette, Yang Jun slowly blew the smoke towards Zhong Yuemin. The contemptuous look made him quite uncomfortable.

He usually acts arrogantly in the compound, but when he meets a really tough person, he immediately shows fear.

He let the tobacco brush against his face, not daring to make a sound. He just blushed and lowered his head in silence.

The others also lowered their heads and remained silent, not daring to speak.

Yang Jun felt that there was no need to stay any longer, and looked at everyone calmly and said:

"It is a vain attempt to fight against a powerful crossbow with a conceited man."

---

The next day, Yang Jun received a meeting notice as soon as he got to work. It was an annual work summary meeting held in the conference room, and it was also their last meeting of the year.

The meeting was chaired by Factory Director Yang, and all department heads, deputy department heads, factory leaders, and workshop heads and deputy directors attended the meeting, with hundreds of officials gathering together.

After entering the venue, Yang Jun immediately received many greetings.

People both familiar and unfamiliar would come over to exchange a few words.

The topic mainly revolved around grain and pork. The workshop directors were particularly enthusiastic and expressed their gratitude to Yang Jun for his concern for all the employees in the factory.

Yang Jun answered them one by one with a smile.

The conference room was so crowded that many people could only stand in the back row.

Because he was late, Yang Jun had no seat available and was planning to find a place to sit in a corner.

At this time, he saw Sister Cai waving at him.

Yang Jun found that the position where Sister Cai was sitting was too conspicuous, and at first he did not intend to approach her. However, he saw that Sister Cai kept winking at him, as if she had something to say.

So Yang Jun smiled and said, "Big sister is really thoughtful."

Sitting in the seat that Sister Cai had reserved for him, Yang Jun expressed his gratitude.

"You're welcome. We are a family." After saying that, Sister Cai kept looking at Yang Jun with a half-smile, which made him feel a little uneasy, wondering if she had some hidden plans in her mind.

"Brother, you deserve to be celebrated for where you are today." Sister Cai looked around and whispered to him, so that only the two of them could hear.

Hearing this, Yang Jun was puzzled: "What are you talking about, sister? Is there any happy news?"

Sister Cai smiled without revealing more: "Don't worry, you will understand later." Then, she looked at the factory leaders mysteriously.

Noticing that Sister Cai was playing a mysterious game, Yang Jun did not ask any further questions.

With his years of professional wisdom, he felt that some good news might be just around the corner.

Given Sister Cai's position as deputy chief of the Personnel Department, her suggestion would definitely not be groundless.

This good news may be an opportunity for promotion.

In a factory, personnel changes usually need to go through the personnel department. I guess Sister Cai got the news in advance.

It had not been a month since I joined the factory when I was directly appointed as the head of the purchasing department. Unless there were special circumstances, it would be unlikely for me to be promoted so quickly. It might be a promotion of half a level at most, but this was also an honorary title. In actual work, I was still in the purchasing department.

After a few minutes, the conference was officially announced to begin.

First, the factory director gave an opening speech, highly praising the work results of the year and pointing out some existing problems.

Afterwards, several leaders took turns speaking, which took a total of more than two hours.

Upon seeing this, Deputy Director Li secretly signaled the leader who was still speaking.

Sure enough, the other party finished after two minutes.

Next, it was Deputy Director Li's turn to arrange the final part of the meeting - awarding year-end bonuses and making personnel appointments. In addition to promotions, cadres who have made contributions will also receive generous material rewards.

People suddenly became quiet, staring intently at Deputy Director Li, hoping for the honor of hearing their names called from his mouth.

He announced some people's names and their achievements. Some were rewarded with bicycle coupons, some received radio and audiobook coupons, and one person who was praised would receive an extra five kilograms of pork.

After praising about ten people, Deputy Director Li looked at Yang Jun meaningfully.

Yang Jun understood that he would hear his name called soon.

Sure enough, as he expected, Deputy Director Li then called out Yang Jun's name.

"130

Yang Jun listened to what Director Li said on the stage and felt like he was in a dream.

He originally thought he would only be promoted half a level, but he ended up getting a full-time position in one step.

The deputy director position is not an empty title. More than a dozen department heads in the entire factory have their eyes on this position. This position has been vacant for many years and has been controlled by Director Li ever since.

Unexpectedly, such a lucrative position would fall upon Yang Jun.

As deputy director, Yang Jun's job remuneration is equivalent to that of deputy division level. In less than a month, he jumped from section chief to such a position. The speed of his promotion is simply like riding a rocket.

Yang Jun understood that the Logistics Department had always been Li Huaide's sphere of influence, and his promotion to deputy director was obviously not acceptable to Director Li.

To change other people's vested interests and still expect to win their kindness is too naive.

But under the current circumstances, Yang Jun was not stupid enough to become deputy director just by relying on grain and pork. He guessed that it might be the factory director who played a driving role.

In terms of interpersonal relationships, he is about to marry Yi Qiu Shui, and the factory director and his superior are in a superior-subordinate relationship. Strictly speaking, he can be considered to be on the factory director's side, and his relationship with Director Li is more due to a conflict of interest.

The promotion to deputy director might bring him into conflict with Director Li, but that did not worry Yang Jun.

Because he knew very well in his heart that wherever there are people, there is an invisible world; wherever there is a fight, there is a battlefield.

So he is not afraid of promotion due to differences.

In short, this is the world of the big leaders after all. The factory director is the top leader and Yang Jun has become an assistant to an important person. There are not many titles in the factory that are not as big as his, so even if Director Li wants to shake him, he needs to think carefully.

Standing up, he bowed deeply to everyone present.

Afterwards, the factory director personally went on stage to present the appointment letter.

"Deputy Director Yang, keep up the good work. I hope to present you with the award again next year."

The big boss subconsciously patted Yang Jun's shoulder, held it tightly, and did not let go for a long time.

“Director Yang, I will definitely redouble my efforts to add more strength to the steel plant and create glory again.” Yang Jun responded with a grip to express that they were in the same boat.

Afterwards, Director Li and Director Cao also came to encourage Yang Jun, and he politely said some polite words.

As Yang Jun finished awarding the prizes, the annual meeting came to an end.

"Deputy Director Yang, congratulations."

After the meeting, Sister Cai came up to congratulate us, notebook in hand.

"Thank you, Miss Cai.

Speaking of which, you and I are brothers and sisters, how can I forget you?

Even if I get promoted to a higher position now, you are still my big brother."

Yang Jun quickly expressed his respect.

Sister Cai smiled and said, “That’s really comforting to hear.

Little brother, you must remember from now on that your sister is here."

"Of course. Yang Jun will always be grateful for Sister Cai's help."

When Sister Cai heard this, a blush appeared on her face.

"At first I didn't understand your relationship, and I almost... Hey! It was such a false alarm!"

"Sister Cai, you transferred my sister off the production line, and I have never thanked you in person. I will take some time out one day to invite you in private."

Yang Jun felt deeply grateful to Sister Cai. No matter why she acted in the first place, she helped him a lot after all.

You can never deny a debt of gratitude you owe to someone.

"Don't wait until you are free. The factory has prepared two banquets for you tonight to celebrate. Just have a couple of drinks then."

In this way, the day passed in warmth and celebration, and a new chapter in Yang Jun's life began.

Yang Jun was slightly startled, then he understood. When he was just the head of the purchasing department, the factory would always hold a welcoming banquet for the new leader. Now that he has been promoted to deputy director of logistics, he is also a top figure. How could those smart people not try to please him?

"Of course. I will definitely treat you to a few drinks alone then."

Along the way, there were voices congratulating Yang Jun, and everyone tried to make friends with him and express their respect in small talk.

No matter who the visitor was, Yang Jun always faced them with a smile and spoke politely, without any arrogance that showed he looked down on others because of his promotion.

As soon as I returned to the office, Yu Haitang's sweet and pleasant voice came from the radio.

"Hello! Hello! Good afternoon, fellow workers at the steel mill.

Here is the news: Comrade Yang Jun, the head of our purchasing department, cares about the country and the factory, contributes silently, and selflessly seeks welfare for all colleagues in the factory.

His selfless spirit is worth learning from for everyone.

At this moment, it is announced that, after a unanimous decision by the factory-level senior management, it has been decided to promote Comrade Yang Jun to the position of Deputy Director of the Logistics Department, and to issue him three bicycle tickets, one radio ticket, and twenty kilograms of pork as a reward..."

The announcement was repeated once.

“…Good afternoon, everyone.

Now reporting: Comrade Yang Jun, the head of the Purchasing Department..."

As Yu Haitang finished his report, tens of thousands of workers at the steel plant became excited and started discussing Yang Jun.

The vast majority of people firmly believe that the grain and pork they were able to receive this year were due to his efforts, and they believe that with Yang Jun as deputy director of the Logistics Department, their lives will be better.

Everyone who knew him was amazed.

Liu Laoer Liu Haizhong: "Yang Jun is really amazing. I was right to stand on his side. I believe Guangqi's work will become smoother and smoother."

Great grandfather Yi Zhonghai: "I couldn't beat this guy when he was the section chief, and now that he's been promoted, I'm even more helpless. It's better to have less contact with him in the yard in the future."

Sha Zhu yelled, “Hey, listen, Yang Jun is my buddy, we have been friends since childhood.

Treat me better in the future, otherwise... hehe!"

Qin Huairu sighed: "It seems that he was not bluffing me that night. With his current position, it would be easy for him to fire himself.

Don’t offend him casually in the future, and I will persuade my mother-in-law to be more restrained when I get home.”

Yang Jun was sitting on the sofa, with a cigarette in his mouth, and his mind was already thinking about his future plans.

Now, he is no longer the same as before. Back then, he was just a small section chief who behaved peacefully. Now, he has been promoted to deputy director of logistics, which means he has great power.

Apart from the production line, all other departments are under the jurisdiction of logistics. Even if we exclude the deputy factory director Mr. Li, he can now be said to be second to none and has great power.

He knew that Mr. Li would definitely try every means to make things difficult for him in the future, or even set up problems for him.

After all, it touched his interests.

In the past, Yang Jun thought that he only needed to be a bystander and stay out of the competition between the two factory leaders.

Now that he has taken the position of deputy director of the backstage, his comfortable days are long gone. He has become the focus of conflicts and will inevitably become the target of competition or isolation among various forces.

Yang Jun realized that he needed to take action.

The factory arranged his current position with the expectation that he would be the successor to Mr. Li.

Mr. Li is the director of logistics on a part-time basis. Naturally, such a position has attracted the covetousness of many people. Those leaders are smarter than foxes, and everyone is afraid that the Li family will dominate the market.

(Replacing Mr. Li is a foregone conclusion, and the position of director is only a transitional period. It won’t be long before Yang Jun will officially take over the logistics department.

After he leaves, the position of head of the purchasing department will remain undecided, so he needs to plan his moves as soon as possible.

Master Wei is someone he can trust, and he is the most ideal candidate to take over the purchasing department.

Unfortunately, Master Wei will reach retirement age next year, and he must start considering other candidates.

The only person in the purchasing department who can be truly regarded as a member of his own is Yang Mei.

He planned to promote Yang Mei to deputy section chief first, and then arrange for her to be promoted to section chief step by step.

But considering Yang Mei's lack of experience and the fact that she did not come from a bureaucratic background, her promotion must be through "working instead of doing". She became a deputy section chief.

When the storm comes next year, it will not be difficult for her to become a formal clerk thanks to the Yang family's farming background for generations.

In other departments, the interest chain is complicated and they will stand on the side of power and influence. As long as you want them to, they will come closer to you.

Yang Jun knew that the factory's deputy director, Li De, was a ruthless man and a typical fence-sitter, so he could not guarantee whether Li De would covet his position. He had to consolidate his position before the wind came up in order to deal with any competition.

At lunch time, he walked into the cafeteria with two empty bowls in his arms. On the way, he returned to the office to take out the pre-prepared dishes from the space and chose two - braised beef and braised eggplant, plus six steamed buns.
