Xiong Min only stayed here for more than twenty minutes before saying goodbye and leaving.
Her last words to the group were: "From now on, our office work will be directed by Comrade Zhang Hongcheng, and everyone's work reports for the past few months will also be reviewed and approved by Comrade Zhang Hongcheng!"
The implication is: In the past few months, Zhang Hongcheng has been their actual leader.
Zhang Hongcheng's temporary office is located on the innermost part of the top floor of the third floor, which used to be the office of the former director of the guild.
The office is fully furnished with a large, almost new desk, a soft-bottomed armchair, gauze curtains, mahogany-backed bookshelves, two old-fashioned single sofas and a small coffee table.
Pang Zhiyuan was reporting to him on the current affairs of the Internal Economic Revitalization Office.
The smile on the middle-aged man's face was quite sincere.
"Zhang Diao, you are truly the lucky star of our office."
"With you in charge, our office's reputation will be at least three levels higher."
Pang Zhiyuan was not really flattering. He excitedly took out a document and asked Zhang Hongcheng to sign it.
"Our Internal Economic Revitalization Office's original budget for this year was 16,000 yuan, but now it's almost April, and the finance department has only allocated a little over 870 yuan."
"But just before you arrived, the finance department informed us that they had already rounded up the amount to eight thousand yuan in our office account!"
Zhang Hongcheng carefully read the bill transferred by the Finance Department and signed his name and the word "read" at the end of the bill.
He was a researcher sent from higher authorities and could only "guide" the work of the internal economic examination and revitalization office, so his signature on all the documents here could only be [Read] instead of [Approved].
The original budget of the Internal Economic Assessment Office this year was more than 16,000 yuan, and Zhang Hongcheng didn't care about this budget figure at all.
The 8,000 yuan that was deposited into the account was the loss limit that Tang Jianan and Huang Jianmin set for themselves after discussion.
It doesn't matter if someone looks down on him. This kind of atmosphere of general contempt but not daring to offend easily is what Zhang Hongcheng really needs.
He wished everyone would treat him like a child.
Zhang Hongcheng spent the first three days after arriving here reading newspapers in the Internal Economic Revitalization Office.
Go to and from get off work on time.
The day soon came to early April, and the differences between Tang Jianan and Huang Jianmin grew increasingly larger regarding the retirement benefits of the second batch of retired employees.
This caused everyone in the Mining Bureau to keep an eye on the two men's every move, and no one was paying attention to Zhang Hongcheng who was hiding in the internal economic revitalization office reading a newspaper.
The west side of the Mining Bureau headquarters is close to the city suburbs. It is sparsely populated and has scattered buildings. It was the headquarters of the Mining Bureau decades ago.
In a huge open space surrounded by a red brick wall, a young cadre in a Zhongshan suit was walking and chatting with a middle-aged man.
The cement floor here is relatively flat, with mottled marks everywhere.
Many tenacious weeds grew out of the cracks in the cement blocks.
Pang Zhiyuan is introducing the origin of this place to Zhang Hongcheng.
"This is where our mining bureau stored various vehicles and construction machinery when it first opened."
He pointed to the red brick houses that looked like small grids at both ends.
"You see, the reason these rooms are so small is that they used to be used to park tractors."
"But as our Mining Bureau has grown, those old tractors have been phased out or sent to the Infrastructure Department. Now we only use large trucks."
"With the construction of the new parking lot and the eastward expansion of the new headquarters area, this area has gradually been abandoned."
"The west side of the wall is just outside the suburbs, so usually no one comes here."
"I remember that this place was used to store slag a few years ago. Later, our mining bureau's dedicated mineral terminal was built, and it became idle again."
Zhang Hongcheng turned around again with satisfaction.
Although the red brick lattice houses on both sides can only accommodate tractors, they are natural business storefronts in his eyes.
In the center of the open space, there are three rows of simple asbestos-tiled carports, which can be used as a place to set up market stalls.
Other more open-air places can be used as temporary stalls.
"Lao Pang, go back and file a report right away. Haven't many family members complained that setting up stalls on Staff Avenue is disrupting traffic and the workers' rest?"
"You're suggesting we move our internal economic revitalization market here. Do you think the directors would approve?"
Pang Zhiping was a little hesitant.
"Zhang Diao, applying for it is easy. This piece of land is unloved by anyone, and Director Huang likes to conduct health inspections, so every unit is avoiding it."
"But this place is too remote, isn't it? Not to mention whether the families of those who run small businesses are willing to come here, even the families of us employees will have to walk at least 400 meters more to buy groceries in the future."
Zhang Hongcheng chuckled, but did not explain his real plan to him.
"Don't talk about anything else, just apply for the land first."
"Our office's Xiao Zhu is an electrician, right? Can you ask him to come over and check whether the electrical circuits and water supply in each room are in good condition?"
"Please write a report to the union and Director Song, who is in charge of personnel."
"Our office is planning to hire ten temporary workers. They don't need to be permanent employees. They're just for a trial period of more than two months. We'll use the children of our employees."
Pang Zhiyuan took out a small notebook and took notes quickly, while repeatedly reminding Zhang Hongcheng.
"Zhang Diao, I'm afraid no one would be willing to take this kind of temporary job that can't be converted to a regular job!"
"Besides, we in the office are already very idle..."
Zhang Hongcheng shook his head and just asked him to do the work.
