In the ensuing conversation, Committee Member Hu asked, "Su, what's the matter?"
Su Yu smiled broadly, "It's a call from the school. I passed my graduation exam and will pick up my diploma tomorrow. I'm even an outstanding graduate! Committee Member Hu, does this count as a vocational school diploma?"
Everyone was delighted to hear the news. Committee Member Hu smiled and said, "Of course! Su, you haven't been studying for very long, have you? You've graduated so quickly. It seems you're really good at studying!"
"I've always loved learning. I learn everything quickly," Su Yu said, abandoning her previous modesty and boasting.
Committee Member Zhang laughed and said, "I believe you, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get my diploma so quickly. When will you get it? Do I need to ask for leave?"
"No need, no need, I'll pick it up tomorrow night."
The entire skills competition was arranged by only one person, and I was busy until almost dark in the afternoon before it ended.
After finishing that, the next task was the arduous task of compiling the grades. Even the two committee members joined in to help.
Officer Hu stated that recruitment was urgently needed. However, she didn't fully trust the factory committee and insisted on hiring from outside through recruitment documents. The educational requirements would definitely be a vocational school diploma or equivalent. Especially for male candidates, she emphasized the need for careful screening; she couldn't afford to hire anyone too incompetent.
Su Yu glanced at Officer Lin and saw that Officer Lin looked somewhat dejected, clearly knowing why this man had come looking for her.
That's how the workplace is. If you can't do it, someone else will. If you can't do it, someone else will do it better.
Chairman Sun didn't necessarily insist on a male comrade. Giving Lin this opportunity, regardless of whether he later considered replacing him, at least Lin truly got the chance. If she had put in a little more effort and been more proactive, getting Chairman Sun used to her assistance as his secretary, he might not have replaced her later.
After working with several secretaries, Su Yu was most satisfied with the last one. A very quick-witted young man… cough cough, she definitely wasn't attracted to his good looks. It was simply that he was incredibly thorough in his work. He remembered everything about her, both professional and personal, perfectly. From offering advice and encouragement to celebrating her birthday, her family's birthdays, clients' birthdays, and even reminding her when her pet dog needed a shave.
Over time, she became somewhat dependent on this assistant. After all, having someone constantly there to remember all the miscellaneous things naturally made her get used to the ease and less inclined to use her brain.
Most importantly, this kind of secretary will make you feel proud as a leader. It makes you feel that your subordinate is very caring. With such a considerate assistant, who would want to let go?
However, Su Yu later discovered that the reason this young man was able to do this was because he had a very thick notebook containing records of her daily habits and the situation of all family members. Moreover, he would review it like a textbook every time he got off work.
So, they really put in a lot of hard work.
Lin, the staff member, didn't put in the hard work or take initiative, and now she's been replaced. This means someone else has to take the opportunity. So she can't afford to have any ulterior motives. After all, refusing to cooperate will result in punishment. If Chairman Sun hadn't been trying to replace her, she certainly wouldn't have taken someone else's job. That's unethical in the workplace, and she's supposed to be a person of high moral character. But now things are different…
Su Yu sighed as she looked at Secretary Lin.
When Officer Lin looked up, he saw her sympathetic gaze, and his lips twitched involuntarily before he lowered his head again.
After get off work in the afternoon, Su Yu intentionally or unintentionally left the office with Lin, and the two walked together for a while.
"Officer Lin, from what I heard, is that man here to be Chairman Sun's assistant?"
"I guess so. In fact, Chairman Sun talked to me a few days ago. He felt that I might not be very suitable."
Officer Lin said with a wry smile, "Actually, I know about these things. Chairman Sun has always wanted to find a male comrade. If you hadn't come to the office, your position was originally intended to be filled by a male comrade. It was only because you performed well that Chairman Sun relented. That's why it's been delayed for so long. Now that things have turned out this way, I know it's because of my lack of ability."
"Nonsense, how could it be that you're incompetent? It's because it's difficult for us women. Don't men and women work the same way? I think it's probably because as women, we have to take care of children and families. We can't go out to work with Chairman Sun in the wind and rain. Otherwise, how could you have been selected before?"
Lin, the staff member, was taken aback, feeling quite embarrassed. She was chosen because she had joined the union early. At that time, Yan Fang hadn't arrived yet, and the union was small, with only her as the sole staff member; she was the only one they could choose…
Su Yu encouraged him, "Anyway, if you really couldn't do it, they would have replaced you long ago. It wouldn't have dragged on until now. It's just that Chairman Sun is considering these things because you're married. So, Secretary Lin, you have to have confidence in yourself. No matter what you do in the future, you'll be the best."
Hearing Su Yu's encouraging words, Officer Lin felt somewhat relieved. She had been worried that she would be laughed at after being replaced, but she didn't expect that someone would comfort her.
It wasn't a matter of ability; she just had to take care of her family.
This is a difficulty that every woman faces.
"Su Yu, thank you for helping me so much. Last time I... you still helped me in the end. Thank you."
Su Yu smiled and patted her shoulder, "No need to thank me, I consider you all my brothers and sisters. We all have to work together. It's all the same. I'm grateful to you for helping me with the workload. Look, I'm also in charge of the competition right now, and there's so much to do every month. Just managing one project keeps me busy all year round, and I still have to do the year-end summary. With your help, I'm so happy."
