"Is there any job that is easier? It doesn't matter if the salary is lower." Xu Dong asked shamelessly.

"Easy job?"

It was the first time that Director Su heard such a straightforward request. "Then join the propaganda department, write and draw, and often go out with the leader."

Xu Dong immediately shook his head and explained: "I am not good at writing, and I don't like running around. I'd better be frank. Is there any job that doesn't require thinking?"

Director Su's jaw dropped in shock. She didn't expect to meet such a weirdo today. The other party was so ungrateful that she felt a little uncomfortable. So she joked:

"The job of guarding the gate is easy. Are you willing to go?"

Xu Dong's eyes lit up. That's it!

So he quickly asked: "Is the guard room still short of people now?"

"Are you really willing to go?" Director Su looked unbelievable.

"Of course, to be honest, I don't have any big ambitions. I just want a stable job to make a living."

"In that case, you should report to the security department tomorrow!"

Director Su looked like she was disappointed with him. What she despised most in her life was this kind of useless man who was useless.

"Thank you!"

Xu Dong left the power company happily and went to the school to pick up the two sisters Coco and go home together.

As soon as he got home, Xu's mother couldn't wait to ask about the results: "How is it? Did you pass the interview?"

Yang Lina was also watching nervously.

"I passed the interview and will report tomorrow morning."

Xu Dong didn't keep anyone in suspense and directly gave the answer, but he temporarily concealed the job position for fear that everyone would not be able to accept it for a while.

Xu's mother was immediately very excited, and soon Xu's father also knew about it and was happy for Xu Dong.

In the impression of the old couple, working in the power company is a stable job that can't be lost for a lifetime.

At noon, the whole family celebrated well. Xu's mother even called Wang Xiujuan to express her gratitude and hinted that there would be a big gift later.

...

The next day, Xu Dong got up early, had breakfast, watered the vegetable garden, sent the twins to school, and finally drove to Yanjing Power Company.

After arriving at the power company, because it was not time to go to work yet, Xu Dong did not report to the security department immediately, but waited by the parking lot.

At 8:25, the target person finally appeared, and Xu Dong went straight to greet him with a gift.

"Good morning, Director Su."

Director Su opened the car door and recognized Xu Dong after a little recollection. After all, the other party left a deep impression on her yesterday.

"Xiao Xu, you are here to report today, right? Why do you want to talk to me?"

"Nothing." Xu Dong shook his head quickly and explained:

"Director Su, you helped me so much yesterday. I don't know how to express my gratitude. I can only bring you some local specialties. I hope you don't mind."

Director Su looked at Xu Dong meaningfully. She didn't expect that this man was still a veteran in the workplace and actually thought of giving her a gift.

"No, you should take the gift back. I didn't help you much. You got the job by your own ability." Director Su had a businesslike attitude.

Xu Dong didn't care about anything and put the gift directly on the driver's seat, then turned around and left. Director Su called him several times but pretended not to hear him.

After leaving the parking lot, Xu Dong didn't delay any longer. After asking around, he came to the office of the section chief of the security department.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

"Come in!"

"Hello, Chief Li, I'm here to report..."

Chief Li stood up from his seat and interrupted, "Xu Dong, right? Director Su just called me. Let's go. I'll take you to complete the entry procedures."

"Thank you for your help." Xu Dong said politely.

Chief Li looked very easygoing. "No trouble. I have nothing to do this morning anyway."

It took more than ten minutes to complete the entry procedures. From now on, Xu Dong is a formal employee of Yanjing Power Company.

Back in Chief Li's office again, Chief Li asked Xu Dong to sit down and then discussed the job position.

"Xiao Xu, our security department has 13 regular employees, including you, and 15 dispatched workers.

There are four positions for our current work.

The first position is responsible for the monitoring room; the second position is responsible for the guard room of the south gate; the third position is responsible for the guard room of the north gate; the last position is responsible for the parking lot.

Tell me, which position do you want to go to?"

Xu Dong scratched his head, not knowing which position to go to, so he could only ask with a straight face: "Section Chief Li..."

Section Chief Li waved his hand: "When there is no one, just call me Uncle Li, everyone calls me that."

"Then... Uncle Li, which position has lighter work, relatively freer and easier? I am a person who, to be honest, is particularly afraid of trouble."

"Then go to the guard room of the north gate. The north gate is the employee passage, and there are not so many rules. It should be suitable for you." Section Chief Li decided.

Xu Dong nodded: "Okay, then I will go to the north gate."

Section Chief Li drank a sip of water and continued to introduce:

"There are 4 people in the North Gate. You can go there and be a deputy captain. The team leader is Lao Zhu. He is old and basically doesn't take care of things. You will be responsible for the daily work of the North Gate in the future."

"Thank you for the promotion!"

Xu Dong did not refuse. As the saying goes, "It's easy to see the King of Hell, but it's hard to deal with the little devils." The deputy captain is the deputy captain. At least he doesn't have to worry about being bullied.

Section Chief Li laughed and scolded: "Don't fool me, work hard, and don't let Director Su and me down."

"Don't worry!" Xu Dong patted his chest and promised.

"Okay, go change your clothes quickly. I will take you to the North Gate in person later."

Section Chief Li waved his hand and drove Xu Dong away.

Half an hour later, Xu Dong, wearing a security uniform, followed Section Chief Li to the North Gate guard room. As soon as he walked to the door, he heard a heated discussion inside.

Compared to the seriousness and order of the South Gate, the North Gate is indeed much more free and easy.

"Have you heard? There is a luxury Mercedes worth more than 5 million yuan parked in the parking lot. I wonder which leader has changed his car?"

"Who dares to be so ostentatious? Aren't you afraid of being checked?"

"It should be an external visiting vehicle, right?"

"No, the monitoring room checked the internal information and it is our company employee's car. It was just registered this morning."

"Haven't you heard that the company is going to have a new leader?"

"Who knows!"

Hearing this, Section Chief Li's face turned a little dark. It's okay for these people to chat at work, but they even started to gossip about the leaders.

"Ahem..."

"Section Chief, you're here!" The guard room quickly became quiet.

"Don't chat at work. If you want to chat, chat after get off work. There's plenty of time after get off work..."

After scolding for more than half an hour, Section Chief Li finally remembered the business:

"Okay, let's stop here today.

Next, I'll introduce a new colleague to everyone. He will be the deputy captain of your North Gate in the future. Everyone applaud and welcome him."

"Pa pa pa..."

"Xu Dong, introduce yourself!" Section Chief Li said with a smile.

Xu Dong cleared his throat:

"Hello everyone, my name is Xu Dong, 'Xu' from Xuzhou, 'Dong' from the East, I'm 34 years old this year, my hometown is Luyang, please take care of me in the future."

Just when everyone was about to applaud again, Xu Dong said something strange:

"By the way, the Mercedes-Benz you just mentioned was actually driven by me!"
