The purchasing department has a large number of people, second only to the sales department. In addition, they often need to entertain people from sister units, so they need a larger venue. Therefore, the first and second floors of the office building were allocated to them.

The department is divided into four purchasing groups, each with different materials and indicators.

He Ruixue first went to find the section chief of the purchasing department, but didn't see him. She heard that he was on a business trip. It was the deputy section chief who handled the procedures for her and assigned her to Group 3.

The leader of the third purchasing team is called Xie Peng, a middle-aged man with a slightly plump figure, a wealthy appearance, a double chin, a full forehead, and a thunderous voice. He gives people the impression of being a straightforward person who understands human nature.

After checking her employment certificate, he extended his hand warmly and shook hers, saying with a smile, "Welcome, welcome! We finally have a new lady on our team. It really adds a lot of color to have such beautiful flowers to decorate the place."

He was wearing a woolen Zhongshan suit with a pen in his pocket, and his conversation was full of literary elegance. He Ruixue pretended to be shy and lowered her head, fully demonstrating the helplessness of a new employee. "Um, boss, what is my job?"

"We're all comrades, so there's no need to be so formal. You can call me Team Leader, Comrade Xie, or Brother Xie. The Purchasing Department is quite busy, so I'll have someone guide you for two weeks. Once you're familiar with the job, you can officially start working. Sharpening the knife doesn't delay the chopping of wood."

With a kind tone, he took her to the door of the next office, waved, and called out, "Xiao Xia, come out for a moment."

“Hey!”

A woman with medium-length hair and a mole on her left eye came out. She looked to be in her twenties, with delicate features and bright black eyes. "Brother Xie, what can I do for you?"

"Oh, this is our new team member, Comrade He Ruixue. She's only seventeen years old and just graduated from high school, so she doesn't have much experience yet. You can take her under your wing for a couple of days to get to know our team's daily work."

"Okay, I understand. I promise to complete the task."

"I'll leave the people to you, but you must teach them well, otherwise when you get busy there will be no one to help you."

"Don't worry, I can't wait for her to graduate so that she can help me share more of the burden in the future."

She was a little happy, and pulled He Ruixue to her side. After taking a closer look, she praised, "But look at Xiao He, who is as beautiful as a flower. It would be a waste to work in the back office. If she went to the front as a salesperson, the door of our store would definitely be squeezed and broken."

"If you say that, the secretary will have to hire a lot of security personnel. It's not worth it." Xie Peng said casually, "With Comrade Xiao He coming, Comrade Xiao Xia, your title of the flower of Group 3 will be replaced."

Xia Lingqing pretended to be self-pitying and said, "Yeah, I'm already married, and I've become a fish eye. It's no wonder Brother Xie despises me."

"Okay, I won't talk to you about this anymore. It's almost the end of the year and the team has a lot of things to do. I'm leaving first. Don't forget your own business while you're teaching the apprentice. Remember to give me the list I asked you to register yesterday before leaving get off work."

"I know, I've taken the person away."

He Ruixue was led into the office in a daze. When she came to her senses, she heard her introduce herself. "My name is Xia Lingqing. I've been working here for five years. I'm now a level 5 clerk."

Speaking of this, her face lit up, and she was obviously proud of it. Of course, He Ruixue had to praise her, "Sister Xia is really amazing. She has been rated as level 5 in just five years. Those college graduates are only at this level when they start working."

"Hey, I can't compare. They were directly promoted to level 4 after becoming regular employees. I'm still far behind."

She said modestly, "In fact, being able to work in this unit is a big advantage over others. Fortunately, there were many vacancies when I graduated, and there was no policy of going to the countryside, otherwise it would not have been so easy to get in."

Thinking of the difficulties faced by the original owner's classmates in finding jobs, He Ruixue nodded in agreement, a sense of luck emerging, "Yeah, if not... I wouldn't be here."

Xia Lingqing brought a chair over. "Sit down. I've heard about you. Don't feel guilty. Some things are just fate and you can't escape it. Not to mention that you were chosen by the secretary himself, Minister Shen also thinks highly of you. Otherwise, you wouldn't be rated level 8..."

We have a one-year promotion here. By next year, you'll be a level 7 clerk. If you perform well, you might even be able to move up to a cadre position."

He Ruixue was a little surprised. She didn't expect that a high school student like her could get the same treatment as a technical secondary school student. Although she didn't know why Minister Shen helped her, she appreciated it in her heart.

According to the administrative level classification, the salary of a level 8 clerk is 33 yuan.

It doesn't look like much, the same as my eldest nephew's salary, but electrician is considered a high-level job in this era, and requires certification. Not everyone can become one.

Once she becomes a regular employee, her salary will increase by a few more dollars. Besides, the benefits for the department store clerk are much better than those in ordinary factories. You can tell from what you receive when you start working. If you listen to it from those who don't understand, he is a cadre of neither high nor low rank.

"Being a cadre is too far away. I haven't even thought about it that way. Now I just want to study hard and try to help Sister Xia as soon as possible so that you can get off work earlier."

This would be considered workplace cliché in later generations, but it was quite fresh at the moment. Xia Lingqing's eyes curved up as he pointed to the empty table in the corner and said, "That table will be yours from now on. Put your things away first, and I'll tell you what our department needs to do."

The next day, Xia Lingqing spent his time not only working but also taking her around the department.

Purchasing Group 3 is responsible for some food and daily necessities, which have a wide range of categories. There are more than ten staff members under them who run around all over the country and are very busy.

"We don't need new people to go out and do the purchasing. For the first few months, familiarize yourself with the lists and reports I'll give you, and then compile the product demands reported by each counter. In a few days, I'll introduce you to the buyers."
