Siheyuan: 55 years, starting from a buyer

“Just now at the meeting, they said there would be a big meeting at ten o’clock.

It should be fine after it's over.

I guess the leaders also took into account that everyone was very busy before the New Year and wanted to let everyone take a break and relax after the New Year. "Li Caiban explained.

Mr. Chen and the other two nodded in agreement after hearing this, feeling that their boss was considerate of his subordinates and did not add extra work pressure after the New Year to avoid causing complaints.

The meeting came as scheduled, and the leaders' speeches were as usual, wishing a happy new year, reviewing past efforts, and encouraging everyone to keep up the good work this year.

No matter what era it is, the year-end summary is always like this.

The sixth day.

"Director Qin, Happy New Year! I haven't visited you for a long time. You look very well. You must be in better health now." As soon as Mr. Chen entered the room, he saw Director Qin sitting in the living room sipping tea.

"Haha, if others said so, I would be skeptical, but when you say this, Mr. Chen, I believe it." Director Qin was very happy to see his former subordinate visiting him and to know that his condition had obviously improved.

"Actually, I dare not speak carelessly. Director Qin, you look much better this year than last year." Mr. Chen replied respectfully.

"By the way, my father-in-law got promoted after the New Year and is now the deputy manager of our department." Li Haide added quietly.

"I really want to congratulate you, Director Qin! This is what it means to be in high spirits when good things happen to you!" Mr. Chen quickly bowed and congratulated him.

"Haha, Xiao Chen, don't be polite. Come and sit down." Director Qin invited.

As instructed, Mr. Chen sat down and gently placed the golden fountain pen gift box that he had prepared for a long time on the table.

This box was custom-made by Mr. Chen, who specially hired a senior craftsman. After much negotiation and at a great cost, it was completed during the Spring Festival.

"Xiao Chen, you are so thoughtful. You came just to come and brought a gift! Don't do this again in the future." Director Qin saw the gold fountain pen case on the table, his eyes sparkled, and he praised.

“To be honest, when I saw the old pens in your study, I remembered that my former classmate happened to work in the Gold Pen Factory.

I asked him to ask the master to make this pen to express my feelings. "Mr. Chen explained.

"Since you're so kind, I won't refuse." Director Qin smiled and took the box that Chen Sheng handed over with both hands.

He opened the gift and took out the gold fountain pen from the table. Li Hai had already brought pen and ink from the study.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Mr. Chen secretly admired Li Hai's unique vision. There was indeed a reason why he could be a leader. Based on this insight alone, he himself was inferior to him.

"Chapter 92 Secretary Qin dipped the brush in thick ink and wrote a few words on the paper in a flamboyant manner. He couldn't help but exclaim: 'What a good pen! The master's craftsmanship is indeed extraordinary.

"

"Xiao Chen, the old pen I have used for many years was also made by this master and was given to me by a leader." Secretary Qin continued.

"Now that I have a new pen, it's just right for me to use them alternately. I'm in a very good mood." Secretary Qin smiled.

"To be honest, I invited you here today mainly for your help. I have been worried about Wilder and his wife.

Because I only have a little daughter, their affairs have a profound impact on my mood.

Now that the problem has been solved, I feel much more relieved. "This is the original intention of Secretary Qin in inviting Mr. Chen here today.

At that time, the idea of ​​having more children was advocated, and family planning was not yet popular. If someone had no children, even if he was a high-ranking official, he would still be ridiculed as a bachelor. This was why Li Huaide was eager to solve the problem, and it was also the reason why Secretary Qin was somewhat dissatisfied with Li before.

"Mr. Chen, you are too polite. As a doctor, helping others is my duty." Mr. Chen replied modestly.

“But this is different. Although you should be prudent in your private affairs, you should communicate and interact more with Wilder.

"Huide is a young man of your age, so if you encounter any difficulties, you can tell him directly. He will definitely help you if he knows."

"Huaide, did you hear that?" Secretary Qin asked while giving instructions to Li.

"Then I'll ask your brother Li for help." Mr. Chen did not refuse. A big shot like this would only feel comfortable if he felt superior to others.

Since there is no friction between them, why not build a relationship?

"You're welcome, brother. I'll have to do my best to be a good host later. Thank you for your help before. I'm always grateful." Li Huaide took this opportunity to be more intimate.

Not long after everyone had been chatting around the table, Aunt Qin, the housekeeper, came to announce that the dinner was ready and they sat down to eat.

At the dinner table, Secretary Qin mentioned that his subordinates would be transferred to Mr. Chen's department and he had already informed them.

Mr. Chen thought for a moment and did not explicitly refuse.

This man has a wide network of contacts. Regardless of other things, the fact that Li Caigou was able to escape unscathed after experiencing numerous difficulties is a clear testament to his ability.

Mr. Chen might use these twelve words to describe Li Huaide's personality traits: he does things decisively, leaves no future troubles, has a bottom line and does not kill everyone.

He is methodical in doing things, not seeking to pursue the enemy to the end, but knowing when to stop.

Even if the opponent suffers a little, it is not a big deal and will not affect work efficiency.

With this trump card, he had a solid backstage support in the grocery store, and he felt more at ease at work, and also reduced unnecessary workload.

Since Purchasing Manager Li had little connection with the upper management, Mr. Chen did not take the initiative to ask about Director Sun after returning to the store.

But on this day, Mr. Chen received a notice from Director Sun and was called to the office.

"Director Sun, what do you want me to do?" Mr. Chen asked after knocking on the door.

"No, I don't have anything to do with you this time.

The new Director Lan Tian recently asked me to let you talk to him, and I will let you know the details. "Director Sun replied.

"Leader Lan? I'll go to him?" Mr. Chen showed a hint of curiosity, but in fact he already had a guess in his mind. He guessed that this Leader Lan should be the subordinate mentioned by Leader Qin.

"That's right, I don't know the specific content. If you are free, you can go over and take a look later." Director Sun instructed.

"Okay, Director Sun, I'll be there in a moment." Mr. Chen responded and left.

"Xiao Chen, why did Director Sun suddenly look for you?" Purchasing Manager Li asked with a little curiosity.

"Oh, he said he wanted me to go to the higher authorities, but I don't know what it is about." Mr. Chen explained.

Upon hearing this, Purchasing Manager Li immediately lost interest. Going to the superior department was nothing more than assigning tasks and doing some physical work.

"Then you go first." Purchasing Manager Li waved his hand.

Mr. Chen rode his bicycle straight to his superior unit. After registering twice at the door, he was able to meet Leader Lan.

"Hello, Leader Lan, I am Mr. Chen." After entering, Mr. Chen greeted respectfully.

"Hello, Comrade Chen." Leader Lan put down the documents in his hand and said with a smile, "I remember that you were once a subordinate of Leader Qin. Xiao Chen, please don't be shy. Please take a seat."

Even though he knew that Leader Qin had already made arrangements, Mr. Chen couldn't help but be a little surprised when faced with such a polite Leader Lan. The leader's attitude was too gentle. He didn't seem like a boss at all, but more like a friend on an equal footing.

“Leader Lan is too polite.

When Leader Qin invited me to dinner a few days ago, he also specifically asked me to come visit you and learn a lot from you. "Mr. Chen mentioned the dinner with Leader Qin, implying that the two had a close relationship.

“Hahaha, Leader Qin is so nice to me.

How is his health?" Leader Lan asked with a smile.

"Well, he has been in very good spirits recently, and is obviously much more cheerful than last year. Of course he is in a good mood because he has encountered a happy event," Mr. Chen responded.

Some things don't need to be said directly, everyone knows it. Now Leader Qin has been promoted to a higher level and has become the de facto deputy.

"Xiao Chen, are you facing any difficulties in your work? You can tell us at any time. Don't be too nervous." Leader Lan asked with concern.

"My work at the grocery store is going smoothly at the moment. Thank you, Mr. Lan, for your concern," Mr. Chen replied.

“That’s a good thing, as long as there’s no problem.

If you have any difficulties in the future, please feel free to tell me. I will definitely provide assistance wherever I can. "Leader Lan promised.

Chen was deeply grateful and bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Leader Lan."

"Don't be so formal, Xiao Chen.

Take a look at this." Leader Lan took a document from the table and handed it to Mr. Chen.

After taking it and taking a quick look, I found out that in order to ensure the stable supply and demand of meat products, the superiors planned to draw employees from various departments to form a temporary working group to assist in monitoring the work of meat processing enterprises.

After thinking about it, this working group is actually sent to the meat processing plant to carry out supervision and coordination.

It seems that they are going to assign me to work there? Mr. Chen was a little surprised, but he also understood that this was not an ordinary task.

Usually people from higher-ups are sent to a factory under the pretext of assisting with guidance, but in reality it is a means of promotion.

It seems that this blue leader wants to promote me.

"Xiao Chen, it is important to train yourself more and improve your abilities when you are young." Leader Lan reminded him earnestly.

"I plan to let you join this project team. What do you think?" Mr. Lan asked with a smile.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Lan, for your support." Chen Shengxian said these words while jumping around.

"Chen Xiao, we are on the same side, so I won't keep you in suspense any longer.

I can share some information with you in advance, but I may not tell others. Do you understand what I mean?" Mr. Lan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Mr. Chen's eyes lit up. He understood that Mr. Lan really regarded him as an internal member.

"I would say that this kind of team is usually a formality. You only need to participate in supervision and assistance for a month, and then you can return to your original position. You may have the opportunity to be promoted due to your outstanding performance." Mr. Lan further elaborated.

"Official documents will be coming down soon, and you can just take them with you to report in," Mr. Lan reminded.

"Thank you for your care and training. Mr. Chen will definitely complete the task diligently." Mr. Chen expressed his determination.

This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for others, and you would be a fool if you missed it.

"The person in charge of the grocery store is Director Sun, right?" Mr. Lan asked.

"That's right, Director Sun is the head of our grocery store." Chen Shengchang replied.

"Okay, I'll make some allowance for him."

"You go back first and say hello to our old leader for me," Mr. Lan instructed.

"I understand, Mr. Lan. I'll go back first then." Mr. Chen was about to leave when he suddenly realized that there was something he needed to tell his leader.
