Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Director Zhang of the Personnel Department had heard about this matter, so when he saw Lin Geng, he felt very sympathetic towards him. He immediately put on a friendly smile, stepped forward, took Lin Geng's hand, shook it, and said with a sad expression on his face:

"So you are Comrade Yu Xiuying's son! I feel deeply for your mother's situation. She is still young. How could she...

"Alas! Xiaolin, please accept my condolences! Since your mother has passed away, you must learn to be strong and cheer up! Only if you live a good life can you comfort her soul in heaven!"

After listening to what Director Zhang said, Lin Geng was slightly moved. Although his soul was not the original Lin Geng, he occupied the original Lin Geng's body and inherited his memory. So Lin Geng's mother is now also his mother.

Extracting Yu Xiuying's voice, appearance and smile from the original owner's memory, he felt very sad. His eyes became a little red and moist.

However, he still took a deep breath, slightly pulled the corners of his mouth, tried to make himself look calmer, and held Director Zhang's hand with gratitude and said, "Thank you Director Zhang for your concern, I'm fine! After lying at home for two months, I have come to my senses. I will definitely work hard and live a good life, so that my mother in heaven will not worry about me!

I have come to the factory today to handle the succession procedures! Director Zhang, please help me!"

Director Zhang glanced at Sha Zhu, then at Lin Geng, and asked in confusion, "What's going on between you and He Yuzhu?"

Sha Zhu's expression froze again, his old face turned red, and he looked embarrassed and a little ashamed. He stood there at a loss as to what to do.

Lin Geng turned his head to look at Sha Zhu, then turned to Director Zhang and said, "Brother Zhu is actually not a bad person, he is just too honest. He was deceived and used as a weapon! In fact, he and I have a good relationship. It was all misunderstandings before. Now we have talked it out and we are still good brothers! The past is over, so let's not talk about it!"

Sha Zhu quickly nodded and explained: "Yes, yes, that's right! I was too stupid before, and was used by Yi Zhonghai and his men. I was used as a gun by them, and that's why I offended Brother Lin!

Now Lin Zi has forgiven me, I will never bully him again, please rest assured, Director Zhang!"

After listening to what Lin Geng and Sha Zhu said, Director Zhang looked at Sha Zhu's expression and nodded, "Okay! I'm talking to He Yuzhu! People call you Sha Zhu, you're really stupid! You can even be taken advantage of! What can I say about you?"

Now that Comrade Xiao Lin has stopped bothering you, you must treat Xiao Lin well in the future. Xiao Lin is alone now, which is pitiful enough. You must take better care of him in the future! Don't make mistakes again!"

This time, when Sha Zhu was taught a lesson by Director Zhang, he did not show any impatience. Instead, he nodded sincerely and agreed repeatedly. He once again stated that he would never make such a mistake again and would definitely treat Lin Geng well and as his own brother!

Director Zhang then laughed and immediately took Lin Geng to handle the succession procedures. In accordance with the request that Lin Geng had made to Director Yang, he arranged Lin Geng to the factory's purchasing department. He also personally took Lin Geng to the purchasing department and handed Lin Geng over to the chief of the purchasing department.

The Chief of the Purchasing Department is a middle-aged man in his fifties with a slightly bald head and a slightly plump figure. His surname is Liu. He is an old employee of the factory and has been in charge of various purchasing work in the factory.

After meeting Lin Geng, Director Liu was quite polite. As a middle-level cadre in the factory, he now knew about Lin Geng's affairs, so he felt quite sympathetic towards Lin Geng. He accepted Lin Geng enthusiastically and told Director Zhang of the Personnel Department to just hand the person over to him. He also glared at Sha Zhu fiercely.

After seeing off Director Zhang, Director Liu scolded Sha Zhu again in a very rude manner. Fortunately, Lin Geng quickly stopped Director Liu and helped Sha Zhu explain. Only then did Director Liu stop scolding Sha Zhu and asked Sha Zhu to wait outside the door. He wanted to talk to Lin Geng alone about the next work arrangements.

Sha Zhu was so angry that he didn't get angry at all. He also knew that he had done something wrong this time, so when Director Zhang and Director Liu scolded him, he didn't say a word. He just put away his bad temper, admitted his mistake, and stood outside the door waiting obediently.

After Director Liu asked Lin Geng to sit down, he said to him, "Xiao Lin! Actually, our purchasing department is not a very good choice!

I won't hide it from you. Although our purchasing department is in charge of various purchasing work in the factory, most of it is directly connected with other departments or factories and mines. These tasks are coordinated by specialized personnel!

When you come here this time, it will not be convenient for me to let others hand over the department and factory connection work that they are already familiar with to you!

This way, there are only four subjects left for you to take!

Section 4 is a department with relatively complicated work. It is mainly responsible for purchasing some scattered materials needed by the factory. In fact, it is mainly responsible for purchasing some agricultural products!

As you know, the country was in a difficult situation in the past few years, and the original rationed supply could not meet the needs of the workers in the factory. For example, the supply of grain, meat and vegetables from the Meat Processing Plant, the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and the Materials Bureau was simply not enough to meet the needs of the factory!

Later, the higher authorities encouraged factories, mines and institutions to find ways to purchase some surplus materials in rural areas on their own to solve the supply problems in the factories. So our factory set up four departments. We originally planned to put it in the logistics department, but later the factory leaders decided to put it under our purchasing department. This four departments are specifically responsible for going to the countryside to help the factory purchase various meats, eggs, vegetables, grains and other materials!

"For now, I can only arrange for you to work in Section 4. I hope you can understand! I am not deliberately making things difficult for you. I hope you can understand my difficulties, Xiaolin!"

Director Liu was a straightforward person. After asking Lin Geng to sit down, he offered Lin Geng a cigarette and lit one for himself. He went straight to the point and told Lin Geng the department and nature of the work he would be assigned to, and made his attitude clear: he was not deliberately making things difficult for Lin Geng.

After listening to this, Lin Geng nodded and smiled, "Director Liu, you are too polite! I actually want to go to a place like Section 4, because I have some connections in the countryside, so I should be able to get some meat and eggs. In addition, I am good at fishing, and I never miss anything. I often catch a lot of big fish!

In addition, I can hunt. Even if I can't get enough meat, eggs and vegetables in the countryside, I can still complete the task by hunting!

Being able to go to Section 4 is exactly what I wanted. Thank you Director Liu! I am so happy now!"

Upon hearing this, Director Liu immediately became happy, and nodded repeatedly, saying, "That's good, that's good! I was worried that if I asked you to go to Section 4, you would be in a difficult position, but now it seems that I was overthinking it! If you have the ability, going to Section 4 will just be a good opportunity to use your strengths! Then I won't worry about you failing to complete the task!"

Actually, Director Yang has already informed me of your work arrangement. Taking into account that you are the orphan of a martyr and have suffered a lot of injustice this time, Director Yang has discussed with other leaders in the factory and is planning to assign you the position of a level 25 clerk. Your internship period will only be one month. As long as you can complete the tasks assigned to you by the department within one month, you can be converted to a regular employee next month!

Do you have any objection to this arrangement?"

In fact, Lin Geng had never taken the civil service exam or pursued a career in politics, and had always worked in private enterprises. Therefore, he knew almost nothing about administrative levels, and he had no idea what the treatment of a level 25 clerk was.

But he still knew that clerks were considered administrative level, which was different from worker level. There would be better ways for advancement in the future, and if he did a good job he could be promoted to cadres more easily. But if no one promoted him, he would just have to slowly gain experience!

Clerks seemed to be the lowest level non-leadership positions in the administrative hierarchy, but he really had no idea what administrative level the lowest level clerk was. He also didn't know how much a level 25 clerk earned.

But I think the factory was quite considerate of him by assigning him the rank of level 25 clerk instead of assigning him the rank of worker. In that case, he would need to take an exam before getting a salary increase. If he were assigned the administrative rank, his salary would increase step by step as he gained more experience.
