Qiu Yuling found someone to take over the shift at night the day before.
During the Chinese New Year, everything is full of new atmosphere. On the way to work, everyone looks happy when they see each other.
The undercurrents that usually surged seemed to be frozen at this moment.
She arrived at the office, first skillfully lit the fire, then wiped the office inside and out with a rag. She didn't know when the old poster on the wall was replaced with a new one, a big portrait, wise and peaceful.
Her ink bottle, pen, and abacus all lay quietly in their own places. The warm winter sun shone through the gaps in the newspaper on the window, making her like this grade class even more.
Qiu Yuling took an orange from her bag and was eating it when someone outside came in. "Hey, Xiao Qiu, are you on duty today? Where's Sister Zhao?"
Qiu Yuling let the person into the house, "Sister Li, come in and warm yourself by the fire. It's cold outside. I've switched shifts with Sister Zhao today. Is there something you want to talk to her about?"
Li Rulan put her hands on the stove to warm them, then rubbed them, "It's okay, it doesn't matter who's here, can you help me?
Huifang had a stomachache earlier. You know, accounting is not something that everyone can do. The leader is waiting for the data, but he can’t get it now. He is so anxious.
I was thinking about Sister Zhao being here, so I asked her to come over and help. Xiao Qiu, is it convenient for you?"
Qiu Yuling's department has so much work to do that it's impossible to finish it even if she wants to, and it's just a waste of time if she doesn't do it, unless it's before a meeting or when she needs specific data in a hurry.
I usually collect and summarize things, so I just put them there wherever I can.
She couldn't say no at this moment. "Okay, I'll seal the stove and hang the door. Wait for me for a while."
The shift she was asked to take over was the accounting position in their bureau. The leader wanted to know the income and expenditure of the previous year. This kind of work would leave traces on a daily basis. Qiu Yuling found the corresponding account book and copied the data of each major item.
Before noon, she had already sorted it out. She asked the cashier who had just called her, "Sister Li, are you going to take it? Or are you going to wait for Sister Wang to come back and take it?"
The cashier leaned on the table and took a look. "So soon? You take it. I'm going to go, but I can't get back. Sister Wang went to the hospital. I don't know if she will be back soon.
It's okay, you've done the work, so please report back to your boss."
Qiu Yuling still had no reason to refuse. The work had already come out, and it would be easy for her to just show up.
She knocked on the director's office door and someone called her in.
Qiu Yuling walked in without looking around, gave a concise explanation, and presented the data she had produced.
The director asked her to sit aside while he looked at the data. Qiu Yuling did not act like she had never seen the world before and really sat on the meeting chair aside, waiting to be asked questions.
Sure enough, the director asked her a piece of data that did not exist on the form in her hand.
Qiu Yuling answered fluently. The director asked several more questions in succession, and Qiu Yuling was able to give specific answers, including the total salary of the previous year, the number of people at different levels, their proportion, and the welfare expenditure for the whole year.
These were subjects that she thought were quite important at the time, but were not written down on Accountant Wang's paper.
She became more careful and went over several major subjects related to income and expenditure, and even some important sub-subjects.
Shi Wendong adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and asked, "Xiao Qiu, did you remember all this from memory?" He kept staring at Qiu Yuling and didn't see her looking at anything.
When Qiu Yuling smiled, her little canine teeth showed. "Well, Director, when I was taking the data just now, I took a look at all the relevant ones and thought you might need them. I have a table here that's a little more detailed. Please take a look at it."
Qiu Yuling pulled out the sheet she had prepared from the files on the low table beside her. "Take a look at it first. If the data isn't detailed enough, I'll make some."
Shi Wendong didn't rush to finish reading it, but instead put it on the first table, "When did Xiao Qiu graduate?"
It was a casual conversation, with the two of them chatting for a while, asking and answering questions. It was almost time for dinner, so they let Qiu Yuling out.
The cashier finally waited for Qiu Yuling and came over anxiously, "Xiao Qiu, how are you? Did you get criticized? I regretted it when you left. I should have gone after him to explain to the director. How could I let you face it alone?
Don't worry about lunch, I'll get it back for you, just wait and eat."
Unable to refuse such a kind offer, Qiu Yuling went back to get her lunch box. "Sister Li, how about I go with you? It would be too much trouble for you to go alone."
The cashier pushed Qiu Yuling back into the chair and said, "Just sit still. Today we have dumplings. Besides, they have lids, so they can be stacked together for convenience. Just sit back and wait."
Qiu Yuling sat there bored when a male voice suddenly came from the doorway. "Xiao Qiu, didn't you go to eat? It's just right. Director Shi asked me to bring you this box of cookies. I was thinking you might have gone back to your department, so I thought I'd come over to see Sister Wang first."
The visitor, Qiu Yuling, never spoke, but she knew him as the director, Su Peisheng. He was said to be present at all meetings, large and small, and in drafting documents.
"Mr. Pan, I'm so sorry you made a special trip here. Has the director heard about my reputation as a glutton?"
Pan Chengwei could have avoided making this trip, but he volunteered to come and see this girl, whom the leader described as very discerning. What does she look like?
Unexpectedly, the meeting gave him a big surprise.
She spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, and everyone else was trembling with fear and feeling flattered. The little girl made a joke, and she was neither nervous nor intimidated, and easily resolved this "special" care.
He also laughed, "It seems that your greed has caused you a lot of trouble."
Qiu Yuling smiled brightly, "Not only is the mouth greedy and disobedient, the eyes are also accomplices. If it hadn't glanced at the director's cookies for a second, the director wouldn't have had to spend so much money."
Pan Chengwei went back and told his boss about Xiao Qiu's laughter. Shi Wendong took off his glasses and said, "Let's add another position to the Finance Department this year. We'll select from the internal system and, for the sake of fairness, use an exam..."
Pan Chengwei wrote them down one by one and said, "I'll talk to the personnel department later. We'll put it in March. Spring has arrived and everything is reviving. Let's have a new year and a new atmosphere."
The cashier not only brought back two boxes of dumplings, but also two apples. "Xiao Qiu, I just ran into Mr. Pan, and he gave me two apples. Let's have one each."
In the afternoon, Qiu Yuling returned to her office. She had a vague feeling that something was going to happen, so she decided not to waste her time.
After thinking about it, I wrote a schedule according to the importance of the work assigned to me.
Pan Chengwei is also making a plan. The leader has arranged several things. The first thing to be put on the agenda is the increase and decrease at the beginning of the year.
The Finance Department needs to add staff, the Personnel Department needs to reduce staff, the Resources Department needs to reduce staff, and the Production Support Department needs to increase staff...
