As soon as Director Ma left, Li Chunni clapped her hands excitedly.
"Wow! Auntie, you were so cool just now! Look at Director Ma, he didn't even dare to breathe loudly."
Stop being so cheeky.
Lin Wencui raised her hand as if to hit him, but in the end she didn't bring herself to do it. Instead, she casually pulled out a few meal tickets.
"Go to the cafeteria and get two meals. Bring them to your office to eat. By the way, you'll stay here with me this afternoon. Don't go anywhere else. Just focus on studying."
"Why? But I still have to go back to work at the Women's Federation."
Li Chunni, that naive and innocent girl, still hasn't realized what's happening.
If Director Zhang from the Women's Federation were here, she would definitely tell her, "Girl, you've hit the jackpot; the leader has taken a liking to you."
Seeing that her niece lacked composure, Lin Wencui didn't even bother to explain. Instead, she waved her hand, telling her to go get her food first.
...
It was afternoon soon, and as soon as Lin Wencui arrived at work, she received a phone call, and her son's voice came through the phone.
"Mom, congratulations! You've finally taken another step forward."
"You brat, don't try that on your mother. You're so well-informed. Tell me, who told you all this?"
Although Lin Wencui spoke harshly, she was actually secretly delighted.
See, our son is so sensible; he knew to call right away.
Unlike some people, who don't even send a greeting after several hours.
Sun Dajiang, who was working at the power supply bureau at the time, suddenly sneezed several times for no apparent reason.
"Huh! Who's talking about me?" Sun Dajiang was confused for a moment and could only continue working in silence.
Lin Wencui's conversation didn't last long before another person came to her office to pay their respects.
"Son, I have to go now, I have something to do here, let's talk next time we meet."
"Okay, then you go ahead and get busy!"
Sun Zhengguo knew that his mother had just taken office and had a lot of things to do, so he didn't pay much attention.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Wencui looked at her old subordinate and politely gestured with her hand.
"Old Chen, don't be so polite, please have a seat."
The man she called Lao Chen was the former vice chairman of the trade union. He also benefited from Lin Wencui's promotion and was promoted one level.
"Deputy Factory Director Lin, I'm sorry to bother you."
"It's alright, it's my son's phone. Old Chen, we're old acquaintances, no need for such formalities. We'll be the same as before."
After hearing Lin Wencui's words, Old Chen felt relieved. He believed that it was easier to talk if she was one of his own.
The two then chatted as if they were old friends, without any sense of awkwardness.
Li Chunni also brought over a cup of tea at the right time, as if she understood the significance of her existence.
Twenty minutes later, Chairman Chen of the trade union left satisfied. A few minutes after he left, Director Zhang of the Women's Federation came to visit...
Then, as if by prior arrangement, the heads of departments such as the canteen, purchasing department, housing management department, vehicle fleet, warehouse, and sanitation department all came to visit.
Since these departments will all be under Lin Wencui's management from now on, she has no choice but to come.
In the end, even Liang Quanfa from the electrical engineering department came over.
no way?
Previously, the electrical engineering section was an independent department, but I don't know what happened later, it was transferred to the logistics department for easier management.
Therefore, even though the electrical engineering stock wasn't large, Liang Quanfa still made a special trip to visit it.
Lin Wencui smiled when she saw the person who came in. "Section Chief Liang, is it necessary to be so polite between us?"
"Hahaha! Director Lin, I didn't want to come either. Look, other departments have all come to visit. If we don't come, wouldn't it seem impolite?"
"Oh! Enough of that nonsense. Your electrical engineering stocks are the same as before, no need to make this special trip. I've been busy all afternoon, so don't join in the fun."
After Lin Wencui's rant, Liang Quanfa didn't hold back and left happily after only a few words.
After all, his relationship with Sun Dajiang was what it was, and he also had Lin Jiguo and Sun Zhengdong as his subordinates.
Thanks to this natural relationship, electrical engineering stocks have long been labeled and don't need to take sides.
After Liang Quanfa left, Lin Wencui checked the time and was surprised to find that two hours had passed without her noticing.
"Chunni, give your aunt some more water."
"Okay!"
As Li Chunni spoke, she picked up the thermos and refilled Lin Wencui's water bottle.
After it was all over, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Auntie, do you want me to be your secretary?"
"Hey! You've finally realized what's going on. So, are you ready for the challenge?"
Lin Wencui first took a sip of tea, then revealed a teasing expression.
Even she herself didn't know whether her niece, who was always carefree and easygoing, was actually capable of handling the job.
But how will you know if you don't try?
Li Chunni did not answer immediately, but thought about it for a moment.
The job of a secretary was indeed a test for her.
She has no problem with things like serving tea, handing out water, or calling someone for help; she can also learn to do things for her superiors gradually.
However, her education level is only junior high school, which is indeed a significant disadvantage.
"Auntie, I'm not afraid of anything else, but I only have a junior high school education. Can I really be a secretary?"
"Sure, as long as you're willing to learn, you'll definitely be able to learn. Besides, I can teach you. If all else fails, you can ask your second cousin, older cousin, and cousin-in-law to teach you. I'm sure they won't hold back their knowledge."
Seeing that Lin Wencui didn't seem to be joking, Li Chunni impulsively agreed without hesitation.
“Okay, Aunt, if that’s the case, then I’m willing to learn.”
"Very good. From now on, you will be my secretary. I will report this to the higher authorities, and maybe I can even promote you."
In fact, Lin Wencui wasn't just saying this casually. Given her current administrative rank, it would be clearly inappropriate to have a secretary who was completely unskilled. At the very least, the secretary should be at the deputy section chief level.
Li Chunni, as a first-level clerk, was a reserve cadre and thus met the requirements for promotion.
However, there is still one problem: Lin Wencui is short of a driver, and she has already identified a candidate.
"Chunni, my first task as your secretary is to find me a driver from the motorcade and then arrange for him to join the car crew. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Really? Thank you, Auntie."
Li Chunni was ecstatic when she received this assignment.
It turns out that her husband, Li Qiang, was the driver of the convoy.
Speaking of Li Qiang, he was originally a soldier in the army who was driving a truck. After being discharged from the army, he was assigned to a steel rolling mill and became a truck driver.
This young man is not only good-looking, but also hardworking and reliable, and his driving skills are also quite good.
Back in 1965, through the introduction of Sister Wu from the Women's Federation, Li Qiang and Li Chunni fell in love.
Today, the couple has two sons and a daughter and lives a happy and fulfilling life.
The only drawback is that Li Qiang, being a truck driver, often has to travel long distances to deliver goods.
Anyone with a little common sense knows that in this day and age, long-distance travel is not safe. Not only is it dangerous, but you can also be away from home for days at a time.
That's why Li Chunni was so excited when she received this task.
