Now that a temporary department has been set up, we need a director for the service department.
Chairman Sun immediately decided to appoint Su Yu as the host.
"Me?" Su Yu was stunned when she heard this arrangement. Wouldn't becoming the director mean she'd be incredibly busy?
Chairman Sun said, "The salary will also need to be raised then. Su, I really want to promote you. But there aren't any positions available in the union for the time being. So I'm fighting for this for you."
Su Yu was delighted at the prospect of a raise. With money to be made, everything was negotiable.
However, the thought of the problems that would arise in the newly established department gave her a headache. A newly formed department is bound to be incredibly chaotic. If she had to handle everything herself, it wouldn't be easy.
"Chairman Sun, I am willing to manage this department. As long as the factory trusts me, I will definitely do a good job."
"That's good. This matter has already alarmed the municipal party committee, so the factory was very proactive and the decision was made in a short time. Su, you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders."
It is indeed very heavy!
Su Yu said sincerely, "Chairman Sun, whatever it is, I will do my best to do it. However, Chairman Sun, this matter was decided jointly by us and the factory committee. I am in charge of it alone. I am worried that it will be inconvenient if there are any issues later that require coordination with the factory committee."
"They wouldn't dare, don't worry," Chairman Sun immediately became serious. If the factory committee dared to play tricks now, he'd teach them a lesson. If pushed too far, he'd have the workers vote and elect another factory director. He was very confident in that now.
Su Yu said, "They wouldn't dare to do anything else, but they would definitely be passive. So I think it's better to take a cooperative approach."
Chairman Sun looked at her and asked, "What are your thoughts?"
"We'll promote someone from the factory committee to the position of deputy director. We'll still keep the major power in our own hands, but we'll let the deputy director handle the tasks that require the factory committee's cooperation."
Chairman Sun remained silent for a moment.
"Chairman Sun, everything we do is for the development of the factory. Only when the factory is doing well will our union have face in the outside world."
Chairman Sun frowned and asked, "Who should be promoted to the factory committee?"
"I propose it to Officer Tian."
Chairman Sun looked at her. He knew that Tian and Su didn't seem to have a very good relationship.
Su Yu smiled and said, "Chairman Sun, I think it's good to keep public and private matters separate. Officer Tian is quite capable."
Within the entire factory committee, the other staff members were either quite old or relatively young, and lacked motivation. But Staff Member Tian seemed to have a lot on her mind. It wasn't that she was scheming, but rather that she lacked ambition. Only ambitious people are willing to get things done. With a deputy director like her, one could simply sit back and relax.
Chairman Sun gave Su Yu face after all, saying, "Alright, then it's the field. I'll discuss it with Lao Gao."
Chairman Sun brought up the matter with Factory Director Gao that afternoon.
Factory Director Gao raised his eyebrows high.
Then he looked at Chairman Sun with a complicated expression.
Chairman Sun sipped his tea, seemingly unperturbed. "It was Su who suggested the person. He had contacted Tian and felt that the person had some ability. Honestly, Lao Gao, your factory committee really doesn't have many capable people."
Factory Director Gao's face immediately turned red. He almost spilled the tea on Chairman Sun's face.
He silently stood up, then opened the office door. "Tian, come in."
Seeing Director Gao's dark face, Cadre Tian walked in shakily, afraid that he would be used as a scapegoat again.
"Factory manager, what's up?"
Factory Director Gao's face was dark. "You'll be the deputy director of that newly established service department."
Officer Tian: "...!!!" What? Did I hear that right? Her eyes widened in disbelief.
When Director Gao saw her like this, his face darkened even more. She was truly an eyesore.
"I'm making you the deputy director, you hear me? You better do a good job and don't embarrass our factory committee!"
Officer Tian then snapped out of his daze and exclaimed with delight, "I heard you! I heard you! Factory Director, I'll definitely do my job well!"
Chairman Sun said, "Tian, Su recommended you. Otherwise, your factory director Gao would never have thought of you."
Factory Director Gao: "..."
As if struck by lightning, Officer Tian exclaimed, "...Did Officer Su recommend me?"
"Yes, Su is a very upright person, and she recommended you directly. So, you must cooperate well with her work," Chairman Sun said.
Ms. Tian's mind went blank. She hadn't misheard; it was Ms. Su who recommended her?!
Before leaving get off work in the afternoon, Su Yu met with Tian, the cadre, and they took a look around the newly established department together.
Officer Tian remained expressionless, as if he were dreaming.
Su Yu walked ahead, greeting the temporary workers she had recruited, "Comrades, work hard. Once we achieve results, we can ask the factory for bonuses."
This immediately caused the aunties and sisters-in-law to burst into laughter.
"Tian, look how lovely our workers are!"
Su Yu turned to look at Officer Tian and said.
Officer Tian hadn't quite recovered yet. What? Tian?
Su Yu patted her shoulder, "Tian, we need to work hard. This is a responsibility that the factory leaders and workers have given us, and we have a heavy task. I know you and I had some misunderstandings before, but facts have proven that I'm not one to hold grudges. As long as it's for the good of the factory, I'll do it. For example, this time I recommended you for the position of deputy director. I recommended you not for any other reason than because I know you have the ability. I can't let a gem be tarnished."
Hearing Su Yu's words, Officer Tian's face slowly turned red, and he was somewhat embarrassed.
