Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 1041 Secretary

The next morning, when Chen Changan drove to the department, Director Jiao was already waiting for him at the gate.

Today is Chen Changan’s first day working in the department, although Chen Changan is very familiar with this place.

But even though I am familiar with him, as the office director, I still have to give the necessary introductions.

Seeing Chen Changan driving a pickup truck and being greeted by Director Jiao in person, many people were whispering.

It was no longer the era of Uncle Nie. A large number of people from that time were either sent down to become directors of various factories or transferred to other units.

After all, a new emperor appoints new ministers. Now that Uncle Nie is gone, the entire faction has no future, so naturally they have to find a way out.

At this time, nearly half of the people in the entire department had only heard of Chen Changan.

Seeing Director Jiao personally bringing Chen Changan into the office building, and even showing a hint of respect, he immediately began to inquire about who this person was.

After learning that it was Chen Changan, the director of the automobile factory, everyone lost their curiosity.

Everyone in the department knows Chen Changan. Although he doesn't work in the department, he often comes to the department to do business, so people are no longer curious about him.

But at noon, when everyone was eating in the cafeteria, they found that Chen Changan was also eating in the cafeteria, and he was sitting with Director Jiao. The two of them were talking and laughing, which made many people a little uneasy.

Even Director Zou frowned and looked at Chen Changan and Director Jiao, wondering what he was thinking.

Director Jiao had already told him about Chen Changan's situation this morning, but he didn't care much.

Naturally, the entire department is not ruled by him alone, but is composed of seven standing committee members.

Director Zou is naturally one of them, as are Director Chen Changan and Director Jiao. There is also a chief engineer in the department, who is an old scholar and is considered neutral.

Of the remaining three deputy directors, two were in cahoots with him.

In other words, he firmly holds three votes out of the seven. A deputy director and a chief engineer are both neutral. He only needs to win over one of them to make his decision.

Before, Chen Changan didn’t want to argue with Director Zou. In many meetings, Chen Changan didn’t even show up, which was naturally considered as abstention.

But just after Chen Changan's sister was arrested, Chen Changan immediately chose to come to the department to work, which made Director Zou feel some pressure.

After dinner, Wang Xin returned to his office in the department.

"dong dong dong"

"Please come in."

As Chen Changan finished speaking, a thin figure walked in.

A young man wearing a pair of black-framed glasses and holding a large stack of documents walked in.

"Director Chen, here are the materials you requested, as well as the content of the meetings for the next few days. I've brought them to you."

"Xiao Yang, sit down. Don't be so polite. Why didn't I see you at lunch?"

Xiao Yang scratched his head and said.

"Director, my family is from the countryside, and they owed a lot of money when I was in school.

I only have a few yuan left from my monthly salary, and my mother brings me some kohlrabi from my hometown. I buy some steamed buns in the morning and eat them with the kohlrabi, which is quite delicious.”

Chen Changan laughed when he heard this. This Xiao Yang was the secretary assigned to Chen Changan by Director Jiao.

A graduate of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Huaqing University, he had just graduated less than two months ago and was still an intern.

He has no background and his hometown is a rural area in northwestern Hubei, but he has good abilities.

Although he is a rookie in the officialdom, as a secretary, loyalty is the most important factor.

You may not be very capable, but you cannot betray your boss.

As long as you have a good foundation, you can eventually cultivate it.

What's the big deal about being poor? Isn't it just about money? The thing Chen Changan lacks the least is money.

"Look at how thin you've become. Eat less of those kohlrabi you brought.

From now on, you must go to the cafeteria with me every day at noon to eat meat.

I'll give you the money, and you can make me two meals a day. I'll eat one, and you'll eat one. You don't need to spend any money."

Hearing that Chen Changan wanted to pay for his lunch, Xiao Yang quickly waved his hand and said.

"Director, how can I let you pay? This is inappropriate."

"What's inappropriate about that? You're just an intern, how much do you earn in a month?

I get a salary from the car factory, and my bonus alone is quite a lot every month.

Since you're my secretary, you have to listen to me. I'll give you 100 yuan a month. From now on, my breakfast and lunch will all be given to you, and the rest will be your food expenses.

The body is the capital of revolution. If you continue to save like this, your body will be ruined.

Eating pickles all day long, what kind of nutrition can that have? Your family worked hard to support you to graduate from college.

If your health collapses before you’ve even paid off your debts, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?”

Xiao Yang nodded when he heard this. He had heard before he graduated that the salaries in the car factory were shockingly high.

At school, these students from rural areas all want to be assigned to the automobile factory, simply because the salary is high.

Whether it is supporting a family or preparing to pay off debts, it is easy. Living in a house allocated by the automobile factory and finding a wife who works in the textile factory, wouldn't it be a smooth journey for a family with two working people?

Only those students with background and ideas hope to be assigned to ministries.

Xiao Yang originally wanted to be assigned to a car factory, but unfortunately due to his excellent grades, he ended up in a ministry.

I had only been in the ministry for two months and had not done any work yet, but Director Jiao arranged for me to be Chen Changan's secretary.

"Okay, I'll listen to the director."

"Yes, that's right. From now on, whether it's work, life, or even family, if you have any difficulties, just tell me."

"Director, you've already reimbursed my food expenses, so I don't have any difficulties here."

"Okay, then go down and rest. I'll call you if I need anything."

After Xiao Yang left the office, Chen Changan immediately looked through the documents in his hand.

He didn't come here for fun. Even if he couldn't bring down Director Zou, he would at least create some difficulties for him.

Afterwards, Chen Changan saw that there would be a meeting regarding the establishment of a new TV factory in a few days, so he immediately read it carefully.

After returning home in the evening, Zhu Ling immediately asked curiously.

"How is it? Do you feel any different after moving to a new office?"

"What's the difference? It's just a new office location. I have Director Jiao to help me, and I have a lot of old acquaintances in the department. I don't feel uncomfortable at all."

Xiujuan on the side was a little frustrated and spoke.

"Brother, I haven't suffered any injustice. There's no need to be angry with those people. There's no need to fight them for my sake."

Zhu Ling said with a smile.

"Silly girl, you don't understand. Your brother didn't do this just because of you.

You don't have to be depressed. Your elder brother has been in the officialdom for so many years. How could he not know what he is doing? "

After hearing what Zhu Ling said, Xiujuan finally felt better.

"Brother, the new movie has passed the review, and I plan to go back tomorrow.

If this new movie makes money, I plan to get the Huo family to invest in it too.

By then, I'll make Director Wu and Director Zou come to me and beg me humbly."
