Siheyuan: 55 years, starting from a buyer

In the evening, at a banquet, Director Sun raised his glass and congratulated, "Today we are mainly here to celebrate Comrade Chen's promotion to an important position." Li Yuanyuan came to Mr. Chen, raised her glass and said with a smile, "Director Chen, congratulations." Mr. Chen thanked her, "Thank you very much."

People kept congratulating Chen: "Congratulations!" "Good luck to you!"

Mr. Chen spent the entire night in celebration and congratulations.

Director Sun occasionally mentioned that he hoped Mr. Chen could take care of their grocery store business in the future.

Mr. Chen knew very well that he should support it. After all, according to Leader Lan's plan, Mr. Chen would be further promoted to deputy director before he could be officially transferred.

Mr. Chen was forced to drink a lot of wine that night. Director Sun mistakenly thought that he had a prodigious alcohol tolerance, so he filled his glass repeatedly.

In the end, Mr. Chen had to rely on the power of space to return home, otherwise he would have fallen drunk there.

The next day was the weekend and Mr. Chen did not go to the office.

Yan Fugui was guarding the gate when a middle-aged man came forward and asked if he could tell him where Mr. Chen lived.

Upon hearing this, Yan Fugui said, "Are you here to see Team Leader Chen?"

"Yes, I'm looking for Team Leader Chen." the middle-aged man replied.

Hearing the title, Yan Fugui was stunned: "Ah, Mr. Chen...Team Leader? Hey..." Seeing that the man was of good appearance, he decided to take him there.

Before the two arrived at Chen Sheng's house, Yan Fugui shouted loudly: "Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen, someone is looking for you!" Hearing the call, Chen Sheng came out and saw the strange middle-aged man and the familiar Yan Fugui.

The man quickly introduced himself: "You are Team Leader Chen, right? I am Wang Lin, the director of the West Street Grocery Store. Please forgive me for my unsolicited visit." Chen was quite surprised, but still responded politely: "Hello, Director Wang, please come in."

He expressed his gratitude to Yan Fugui: "Uncle Yan, thank you for your trouble." Yan Fugui was curious, but he respected Mr. Chen's hospitality, so he said goodbye and left.

Mr. Chen poured a glass of water and invited Wang Lin to sit down, but he was puzzled as to why he had a visitor just after taking office: "Director Wang, you are here?" Wang Lin explained: "I took some effort to find your residence, and I do have something to ask for." Then he took out some gifts and placed them on the table.

Faced with the gift, Chen quickly declined: "Director Wang, I'm so sorry! No matter what the situation is, please don't give gifts in advance, it's not appropriate." Despite Wang Lin's humble request, Chen refused to accept it: "Director Wang, if you are like this, I must ask you to leave."

Helplessly, Wang Lin had to take back the gift and said, "Team Leader Chen, I understand that this is presumptuous, but I have indeed encountered a problem.

There were many problems with the data reported by my predecessor. I have reported this to the previous team leader, but he did not respond.

Now that the new plan is about to start, too much difference in data may lead to big problems. "

Mr. Chen confessed: “To be honest, I just joined the company yesterday and have not started my official work yet.

I will keep your words in mind and give you an answer after I get to know the situation. "Finally, Wang Lin expressed his gratitude and said goodbye. Chen said, "Director Wang, you have worked hard. You are still working hard this weekend. It is worth learning from you. "

"You're so polite." Wang Lin replied, ending the visit.

When he sent Mr. Chen to the outside of the compound, his mind was full of thoughts about the grocery store. He planned to go back and get a deeper understanding of the situation to prevent any mistakes in his work in the future.

If it is a problem with his predecessor, he plans to let his predecessor deal with it. He himself does not have the time and energy to deal with the remaining troubles.

After watching Wang Lin leave, Mr. Chen fell into deep thought at the gate.

After entering the door, Yan Fugui ran over quickly, obviously quite interested in the previous guest.

"Xiao Chen, was that person just now the store manager?" Yan Fugui asked.

"Well, yes." Mr. Chen answered frankly. He did not want to hide anything. The truth would come out sooner or later.

"I heard him call you Team Leader Chen. Did you get a promotion?" Yan Fugui asked in a low voice.

"No, it's just a transfer. He came here to ask some questions." Mr. Chen explained.

"So you are in charge of these stores now?" Yan Fugui asked with surprise.

"Haha, Uncle Yan, you may be overthinking it. That person is at least a department-level leader. How can I control him?" Mr. Chen said with a smile, shaking his head.

"What level are you at now?" Yan Fugui asked persistently.

"It's still the same as before, the level hasn't changed." Mr. Chen was telling the truth. He was on temporary secondment, his salary and benefits remained the same, and he still got his salary from his original place.

"This is considered a promotion! Which department do you belong to now?" Yan Fugui said with a hint of envy.

"I am a member of the statistics team. I am mainly responsible for collating this month's sales data and arranging the distribution for next month." Chen vividly and briefly explained his new position.

Mr. Chen was still getting familiar with the structure here. Yan Fugui seemed even more confused after hearing what he said, but he still expressed his blessing.

"Uncle Yan, when do you think Chen Sheng will become an official?" Yan Fugui was full of curiosity about this question.

"Haha, Uncle Yan, your concern is even deeper than mine.

I've only been working for a few years, you're thinking too far ahead.

If I really become an official in the future, I will definitely treat you to a meal to show my gratitude. "Mr. Chen responded happily.

"Well, I'm looking forward to this day." Yan Fugui was in a very good mood when he heard that there was an opportunity to treat guests, and he secretly made a note of it in his mind.

Yan Fugui is a man of few words. Once he knows something, he cannot help but spread it everywhere.

In the society at that time, there were not many leisure activities, and getting together to chat was the most popular way of pastime.

By the afternoon, the news in the compound had already spread to everyone.

"This morning, the manager of the grocery store came to see Mr. Chen to do some business." Yan Fugui announced proudly.

"He must have not gone to work today, so the director went straight to his house to question him." Jia Zhang said disdainfully, while working on her work.

"Don't make random guesses. Today is a public holiday." Someone objected immediately.

"Mr. Yan, can you tell us the details?" Curious people gathered around.

Everyone pricked up their ears and listened to Yan Fugui's detailed explanation.

"In the morning, the director of a grocery store came to visit Mr. Chen to do some business and called him team leader," Yan Fugui recounted.

"Team leader, that doesn't sound like a high-ranking official!" Jia Zhang expressed her opinion, which drew sympathetic glances from everyone.

"What is Jia Dongxu's status in your family?" another wife in the backyard asked sharply.

Hearing this question, everyone burst into laughter.

"Dongxu will definitely become a high-ranking official in the future! Since Mr. Chen can do it, my Dongxu will definitely be a factory director!" Jia Zhang said angrily because she was looked down upon.

"Uncle Yan, please continue." The other wives were too lazy to pay attention to Jia Zhang and urged Yan Fugui to continue.

“After Mr. Chen sent the director away, I specifically asked him.

He said he had been transferred to a higher-level department. "Yan Fugui finished speaking.

"So you're not working in a store? That's such a good job! Why did you suddenly change your position?" a passerby exclaimed.

"You don't understand, that must be a promotion.

Otherwise, who would give up such a good unit?

You see, the director came to our house in person today, and I heard that Xiao Chen will be in charge of the shop from now on.

Although it is not a full-time job title, it means that at least he has someone looking after him." Yan Fugui analyzed.

Yan Fugui did not know the whole story about Chen Sheng's situation.

If Mr. Chen revealed too much truth, it might trigger a rumor that Mr. Chen had been promoted to a senior position.

"What a pity, he has already left the store.

It seems that it is unlikely that we can count on him to help with the New Year's goods this year." Mrs. Wang sighed.

"Yeah, I almost forgot.

I really should talk to Xiao Chen about this, otherwise I will be at a big loss! "Yan Fugui suddenly slapped his forehead. Maybe he only remembered that Mr. Chen invited him to dinner, and actually forgot this important matter.

If the pork is all bones by then, the loss will be too great.

“That’s right!”

“Old Yan, you can’t ignore it. You are the goalkeeper and you often have the opportunity to come into contact with Xiao Chen.

If you don't pay attention, no one in the hospital will be able to eat meat! "Everyone agreed.

Mr. Chen could hear the crowd's heated discussions from afar, and the content was basically what he expected.

In fact, whether he was promoted or not didn’t matter to these neighbors at all; they even hoped that Mr. Chen would stay in the grocery store and maintain his current status, which would be beneficial to them.

After all, he is not their boss, and the only thing they care about is whether they can get more benefits from it.

"Yes, Uncle Yan, you must remember this. We are all looking forward to your good news." Mrs. Wang urged.

"Don't worry, I'll go and ask tomorrow morning.

I don't think there's any problem. Xiao Chen is very kind-hearted and it's still early, so there's no need to worry. "Yan Fugui comforted.

“Ask for peace of mind as early as possible.

The difference in fatness is more than just a little bit.

It would be great if we could get some better pork.” Mrs. Wang continued to express her expectations.

"But I think it's useless to ask." The Li family's daughter-in-law in the backyard shook her head.

"What's going on?" Yan Fugui asked puzzledly.

"Look, you haven't even bought meat recently. My old lady is sick and I need to give her some nourishment. I've been busy these days, but I still haven't bought any! This makes me so angry!" said the Li family's daughter-in-law angrily.

"Didn't you buy it?" Wang Taitai confirmed.

“Yeah, everything is out of stock recently.

I think I should make a few more trips to try it out." Li's wife replied.

"That's true. Many goods are out of stock. Maybe I went too late." Wang nodded in agreement.

"What are you talking about?" Captain Liu looked like he had just woken up. When he noticed a crowd gathered here, he also came over.

"They are saying that Xiao Chen has become an official. He is already a team leader, and is even better than the team leader in your steel plant!" Wang Dada told.

"You said Xiao Chen will be the team leader? Are you kidding me? You are kidding me!" Captain Liu was stunned, and he still believed that only he could get the official position in the hospital.

"Why are you shouting? I'm afraid you'll be deafened!" The daughter-in-law was startled and shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Stop talking nonsense! How can a clerk in a grocery store be considered a team leader?" Captain Liu asked with a look of suspicion.
