As a leader, Chairman Sun still had his pride. He never considered taking his subordinates' things as his own. "This was suggested by Su and me. I thought it was a great idea, so I submitted it."
Secretary Song looked at Su Yu with secret surprise. Oh, so this woman is a master from the common people!
Su Yu said apologetically, "It can't be entirely attributed to me. Our Chairman Sun is always worried about the workers' food, clothing, housing and transportation. I had a sudden inspiration and mentioned it to Chairman Sun. It is thanks to Chairman Sun's attention that we have achieved the results we have today. It is all thanks to Chairman Sun's wise leadership."
"..."
Hearing Su Yu's words full of praise for the leader, Secretary Song immediately felt like she had found a kindred spirit.
This is the highest level of being a secretary.
Never forget to flatter your boss. If it were any other secretary, they'd probably be too busy being self-satisfied to even think about praising their leader.
A true master among the common people.
Look, the chairman of the textile factory's union is all smiles right now; he must be so satisfied.
"Ahem, our Su is a man of few words, too honest," Chairman Sun said with a smile.
Secretary Song laughed along. What honesty? Honest people don't say things like that. But he still said, "It seems a strong general has no weak soldiers. Chairman Sun and Comrade Su are both capable and pragmatic people."
Hearing these words, Director Gao felt a sharp pang of irritation. He was incredibly frustrated; why didn't he have a secretary like this? Someone who would even chime in and brag for him at a crucial moment.
The car quickly arrived at the textile factory. Factory Director Gao warmly welcomed Secretary Song to sit inside the factory compound. However, the secretary refused, insisting instead on touring the factory to learn about the workers' conditions. She also wanted to inquire about the later housing allocation process.
Upon hearing this, Chairman Sun immediately perked up. "Our union knows this best. Why don't we have Secretary Song come and sit with us at the union? We can all hold a meeting and we can explain everything clearly to Secretary Song."
Upon hearing this, Secretary Song was immediately at a loss.
This undertaking was incredibly labor-intensive. All the time was spent going through the motions.
"No need. Everyone is busy right now, there's no need to go to such lengths. Just let me see your relevant documents. I'll take a look and then go back to report to Mayor Qiu."
Su Yu smiled and said, "There's too much information. I know all of this. How about I explain it to Secretary Song later? Our Chairman Sun has already explained these arrangements to me. I've written them all down. Secretary Song, I can answer any questions you may have."
Chairman Sun quickly replied, "Yes, yes, Su knows everything. He understands everything perfectly."
Secretary Song was delighted upon hearing this, "Alright, then I'll trouble Comrade Su."
Su Yu smiled. What's with the "Su"? I'm older than you!
Seeing that the union was making a big splash, Director Gao didn't want to fall behind, so he volunteered to take Secretary Song on a tour of the factory first.
Chairman Sun originally wanted to follow along, but considering that Su Yu would be handling things on his side later, it would be embarrassing for him to be too proactive. So he simply led the union members back to his office.
Upon arriving at the office, Chairman Sun discussed with Su Yu the arrangements for entertaining Secretary Song later.
"If you treat them to a meal, reimburse them when they get back. After all, they came to our factory to give us guidance, so we should treat them to a meal. Also, ask the leaders what they think of us. Su, it's not enough to just be famous; we need to make sure the leaders remember us. Only then will we have a chance to advance further."
Su Yu realized that under her influence, Chairman Sun had finally developed a positive and ambitious mindset. Even though he was about to retire in a few years, he still wanted to strive for more.
Su Yu was naturally happy to see her boss want to climb the ladder. She was preparing for the worst; if she didn't get into university next year, she'd at least have a powerful patron to cling to for now.
"Chairman Sun, I guarantee I will complete the mission."
A short while later, Director Gao brought Secretary Song to Chairman Sun's office.
Almost as soon as they arrived, Gao Ming and Cheng Li came over to serve tea and water.
Factory Director Gao watched the two men's practiced movements, his heart clenching with emotion. Old Sun was living a very comfortable life. His subordinates were all incredibly clever. Unlike him, who still had to arrange for someone to pour hot water when entertaining guests.
After the two women finished serving the tea, they glanced at Su Yu as they were about to leave. Seeing Su Yu smile and nod at them, they then went out.
Secretary Song raised an eyebrow as she held her teacup. This woman was no ordinary person; she could flatter superiors, manage people, and even offer advice.
When he looked at Su Yu, Su Yu was also drinking tea. She caught his gaze and gave him a warm smile.
"Secretary Song, it's getting late, how about we go out for a meal? I'd like to give you a briefing on our work. What do you think?"
Chairman Sun said, "Yes, Secretary Song, I'll have Su treat you to lunch."
Secretary Song suddenly shuddered. With a composed expression, she said, "No need for a meal, just explain it to me."
Su Yu glanced at the clock on the wall. "It's lunchtime, Secretary Song. People need to eat to stay healthy. Eating is of utmost importance. You must eat this meal to do your job well. We can't let it interfere with your work for the leaders."
"..."
"Comrade Chairman, cadres must follow the mass line. You are a cadre, and we are the masses. It is absolutely necessary for cadres to have meals and chat with the masses to understand their livelihood issues."
