Siheyuan: Breaking up with Shazhu at the beginning

4

"Xiao Li, come here." Wang Zhiguo turned and shouted to a guard on duty.

When the guard approached, Wang Zhiguo immediately introduced him to Yang Jun:

"Captain Yang, this is Xiao Li from our security department. Just ask him to take you there."

...

On the way to the human resources department, Yang Jun was walking with a guard named Xiao Li, and took the opportunity to ask him some questions about the factory.

At first, Xiao Li was a little secretive, but he thought that this Yang would also work in the steel plant in the future. As a regimental-level official, he would be able to enjoy the treatment of a section chief even if he went to any department. He never knew that he might need help from him one day.

So Xiao Li took the initiative to introduce him in detail the names of the main persons in charge of each department as well as their backgrounds and the support behind them.

Through Xiao Li, Yang Jun learned that there were three factory directors in the factory: Director Yang Jianguo had overall authority, followed by Deputy Director Li Huaide who was in charge of logistics, and Deputy Director Cao Jianhong who was in charge of production. Both of them were formal positions.

In addition, Xiao Li mentioned the honorary deputy factory director and the union chairman, but these people actually have limited authority.

Seeing that Yang Jun was not arrogant and was easy to get along with, Xiao Li finally decided to give him some advice: no matter what position he was about to hold, he must not cross Deputy Director Li's bottom line.

Yang Jun clearly recalled the details of watching the play "Siheyuan":

When the storm was brewing, it was this security department head named Li Huaide who forced the factory director Yang Jianguo to commit suicide, and the latter was forced to fall into the life of street sweeping.

As for the person behind the expelled factory director Yang, he is a big leader among big men, a ministerial-level figure.

As for Yang Jun, he understood everything clearly: he could not afford to offend Li Huaide, and he was also wary of any possible senior officials, because he was just a newcomer in the steel plant and did not lean towards any faction.

He knows that his value proposition lies in obtaining a position with real power and is currently seen as an object of great pursuit by all parties.

However, Yang Jun has his own plans. He will not choose to take sides or win over other forces, so that he will not become the target of future reckoning.

He enjoys history, especially the history of the Tang Dynasty, especially the early Tang Dynasty.

He particularly admired Li Jing, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. During the period when Li Yuan and his son were wavering, he remained neutral and did not take a side in the Xuanwu Gate Incident. Finally, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he did not pursue his affairs and awarded him the title of Duke of Weiguo.

His heroic performance in foreign wars won him supreme honor, and even though he did not directly help either side, he was never treated unfavorably.

He firmly believed that as long as he did not take sides and did not participate in the dispute, no matter which side gained the advantage, they would remember his old friendship of not standing on the side of the other side and leave room for them.

Of course, there is another possibility - if neither side can defeat him, they may choose to join forces to get rid of him first, so that he will be eliminated early.

This outcome had worried him, but he knew he could not compete with the two opponents, and even if he was suppressed it would only be temporary.

He didn't care about the reputation and position, he just used this method to cover up the things in the copy system.

Even after the storm, he might still be able to thrive by relying on the strength of the replication system.

(...)

As the two chatted, they arrived at the personnel department of the steel plant without realizing it.

The Personnel Department (Labor and Personnel Department) is located on the first floor of the office building. It is similar to a service hall, with several windows with clear division of labor.

Following the instructions, Yang Jun found the window for processing employee onboarding.

Sitting outside the window was a middle-aged woman with short hair cut to her ears. She was wearing a blue work suit with a coat over it. She had a lot of experience in the department and everyone affectionately called her Sister Cai.

Looking at the recommendation letter handed over by Yang Jun, Sister Cai frowned slightly, but then relaxed her brows and said with a smile: "So it's Comrade Yang Jun. This is the situation. The Human Resources Department is only responsible for the entry procedures of ordinary employees. If a retired cadre like you wants to join the company, you need to report to the factory director or deputy general director."

Sister Cai did not return the letter of introduction to Yang Jun. Instead, she suggested with a smile: "How about I accompany you there?"

Yang Jun didn't mind this situation. He was not very familiar with the internal environment of the steel plant, and having someone to lead the way would indeed save a lot of trouble, so he said readily, "Then I'll trouble you, sister."

"You're welcome. This is my job." Sister Cai said as she left her post and opened the door to come out.

Yang Jun followed Sister Cai into the office building and went straight to the third floor - that was the leadership floor. The factory director and several deputy general managers all worked here, and their offices were next to each other.

Sister Cai walked lightly to a door. After looking around, she listened carefully to the next door and then knocked lightly on the office door.

Yang Jun saw the signs on the door, one was the factory director's office and the other was the deputy factory director's office, and she was knocking on the latter.

This subtle movement made him guess something.

There is no doubt that Sister Cai in front of him belongs to the side of Deputy General Manager Li Huaide. She is undoubtedly trying to win over Yang Jun by doing this. No wonder he is a little wary of the factory director.

For Yang Jun, it makes no difference whether he goes to see the factory director or the deputy director, he knows what he is doing.

"Come in." A voice came from the room.

At Sister Cai's signal, the two pushed the door open and walked in.

In the office, a middle-aged man wearing a gray Mao suit and with a bald head was sitting at his desk.

Although he looks a bit similar to Vice President Li on TV, the only difference is that this man's hair loss is more obvious, and there is almost no hair on his forehead.

It seems that this is the legendary Vice President Li Huaide.

When the two came in, the vice president did not raise his eyes and asked in a light tone: "What's the matter?"

Sister Cai hurried forward, whispered something in his ear, and then showed him the letter of introduction in her hand.

After reading the letter of introduction, the bald man stood up quickly and walked towards Yang Jun with a smile on his face: "Hello, Comrade Yang Jun, I have heard a lot about you. I am Li Huaide, the current deputy general manager of the steel rolling mill.

On behalf of my colleagues in the entire steel plant, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you.”

Yang Jun was deeply impressed by the amiable deputy general manager in front of him, who was in his forties, of medium height, with a Mediterranean hairstyle, bright eyes and a slightly big belly.

Is he trying to win me over, or is he just being polite?

"Hello, Director Li. I have admired you for a long time."

"Comrade Yang Jun, there is no need to be so polite. Come, have a seat." Li Huaide secretly commented in his heart: As expected, this Yang Jun is calm and sophisticated, and does not live up to his title of deputy general manager. This guy should not be underestimated. His many years of experience in the army must have made him understand the subtleties in the workplace.

Now that we understand the situation, it will be much easier to cooperate.

So the vice president immediately hurriedly poured water and made tea, and personally served it to Yang Jun: "Put aside the tea for a moment. The relevant formalities for your employment have not been completed yet. It is not too late to drink it later."

"Don't worry about the formalities." Vice President Li stood up and returned to his seat, took a sip of tea, and then patted Yang Jun on the shoulder, appearing very intimate. "I'm 48 years old, older than you. Do you mind calling me brother?"

Faced with such an invitation, Yang Jun pretended to hesitate and said: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate. After all, there is still a superior-subordinate relationship between us..." But in fact, he was quite happy in his heart. It would be strange if he didn't reject your attempt to win him over.

"That's true. In the military it is customary to address each other as comrades.

"Deputy Director Li expressed his disapproval, but with a slightly relaxed expression.

"Then I'll obey you, brother.

"Yang Jun responded quickly without any resistance.

Obviously, in Yang Jun's eyes, Li Huaide's approach to him was an attempt to win him over. If he continued to be shy, it would be tantamount to a falling out.

He didn't want to start his professional relationship like this.

“Well, that’s more like it.

'

Hearing this answer, Li Huaide was very satisfied and continued, "Tell me which department you are more interested in?"

As a person of unknown origin, Yang Jun stated that he was new to the factory: "Brother, I am a new employee and I am not very familiar with the factory departments. I will listen to you and the organization's dispatch. I am like a building block and I can go wherever you arrange me.

'

Originally, Yang Jun planned to go to the security department in order to get protection between the factory and the courtyard, but he was well aware that the forces here were complicated and might cause unpleasantness.

So he ended up not mentioning it and was ready to let things take their own course.

He believed that if you were willing to sacrifice a lamb, you couldn't catch a wolf. Since the vice president was going to take over his job, he had to come up with something.

After hearing what Yang Jun said, Li Huaide admired his maturity very much: having been engaged in team management for many years, this man is indeed well versed in the ways of the world.

The young man in front of him was excited. When he heard "Everything depends on you and the organization, brother", he had already smelled the signs of success.

Yang Jun's words cleverly positioned himself as a team supporter, emphasizing "organization" first rather than taking on the responsibility alone. This quality of being able to keep calm made Li Huaide feel that he was a suitable target.

He cleverly passed the choice issue to others: "Sister Cai, please give us some advice on which department is suitable for me.

'

In this way, he can avoid the misunderstandings that may arise from making decisions personally, and also hand over the possible troubles to Sister Cai, an invisible supporter of his.

When Yang Jun heard Sister Cai's question, he was a little surprised: "Sister Cai, can I choose by myself?"

"Of course, based on your abilities and experience, Comrade Yang, a deputy position such as section chief or deputy section chief would not be excessive.

It all depends on what department you prefer, such as logistics, security, dispatch, publicity, finance or R&D.

'

---

After hearing this, Yang Jun fell into a struggle.

In his previous life, he was a freelancer and had never actually worked in a company, so he knew very little about the relationships and work characteristics of the various departments in the factory, including the basic responsibilities of each unit.

Now that he is in the system, he certainly hopes to keep a low profile and develop, preferably to find a role that attracts little attention and will not cause too much trouble.

The Security Department was the first one to be ruled out. Not only was it unpleasant, but they also had to accept missions frequently without regular breaks, which was not suitable for him.

When it comes to the Finance Department, Yang Jun has no idea about his own accounting skills.

As for the publicity room, he immediately discarded the idea. He never wanted to be in the limelight in his life; and the weather outside was becoming increasingly restless. Choosing this option would be like jumping into a fire pit.

As for R&D, it is even difficult to fish in troubled waters, let alone real investment.

As for logistics? Tens of thousands of people in the factory rely on this support, so it is a huge responsibility and a lot of chores.

He pretended to be hesitant and said, "Just listen to your arrangements, brother. I am just a brick and you can assign me to any construction site.

'

On the one hand, I am really undecided about the department choice, and on the other hand, it reflects the other party's open attitude. If the choice falls into my hands, it will become a pressure, and I will regret it if I make the wrong choice.

So Yang Jun decided to let Li Huaide regain power to avoid stepping on uncertain landmines.

fourteen

Looking at Yang Jun's serious and stern expression, it seemed that he was not testing him. Li Huaide lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said:

"Brother, you are smart and capable, skilled in business, and have extensive connections in the team. Perhaps transferring to the Purchasing Department of the Logistics Department would be a good choice?"

Speaking of the Logistics and Procurement Department?

This is indeed a good piece of land to consider.

In fact, the Procurement Department is just an ordinary department in the logistics department. The driver teams of the Dispatching Department, Equipment Department, and Publicity Department are also affiliated with the logistics department.

Strictly speaking, except for the production and manufacturing departments, everything else falls under logistics management.

In this era, the work of the purchasing department is very different from that in modern society. Even when purchasing materials, all materials are subject to a unified purchase and sales system. All items are produced and sold in a unified manner. Consumers do not need to worry about where or what to buy, as each commodity has a fixed supplier.

For example, most of the steel needed by steel mills is imported from the southwest and northeast.

Production and sales plans are formulated on a quarterly basis every month. All that is needed is to dispatch vehicles to transport the steel back on schedule, and the purchasing department is responsible for receiving, recording, warehousing and making lists.

Yang Jun, who was satisfied with this position, quickly stood up, saluted Li Huaide with his chest raised, and said firmly:

“I will absolutely obey the decisions of the leadership and the organization.

Here, I promise to the leadership that I will do my best and work with the most full spirit and attitude to live up to your expectations. "

After hearing Yang Jun's determination, Deputy Director Li felt relieved and felt that a capable man was now in his hands.
