Director Liu looked at the table with a troubled expression, not even wanting to glance at Officer Tian. What kind of mess was this? The order had already been placed in advance, what was all the fuss about? The order had already been issued; he couldn't just let the customer arrive and drive away, how was he supposed to explain that?
"Director Liu, this is what Factory Director Gao needs. We can make an exception for everything else, but we have to be lenient on this."
Outside the door, Chairman Sun was displeased upon hearing this. The factory director was in charge of production, but the labor union was also very important!
Su Yu chuckled to herself, but she knew she couldn't let her superior show up at a time like this, as it would make the leader seem too low-class. She walked into Director Liu's office with a straight face. "Director Liu, Chairman Sun and I are about to head out. The car can leave now." Then she took out her dispatch form. "This is the time we booked."
Behind her, Chairman Sun smiled, looking quite pleased.
When Officer Tian heard Su Yu's voice, he turned around and looked at her, his face turning even redder. "Comrade Su Yu, you've come at the right time. Our factory committee urgently needs a vehicle. It's for Director Gao. Could you please reschedule for another time?"
Su Yu chuckled upon hearing this, "Officer Tian, go ahead and laugh. The factory rules were established a long time ago. Without rules, there's no order. Have you relayed this idea to Director Gao? Don't tarnish Director Gao's reputation outside. Who comes and goes—you didn't decide that earlier. You made a mistake at work, and now you're using Director Gao's name to justify it? What kind of nonsense is that? If other workers find out, they'll all break the rules, and the factory will be in chaos!"
Officer Tian: "..."
Su Yu said, "Director Liu, we're in a hurry to leave. Look, the car can leave now, right? Our Chairman Sun has to go to a very important meeting soon, and we can't be late. Otherwise, people will have a problem with our factory."
They couldn't afford to offend either of them, but since Su Yu had orders, Director Liu could only go along with her. "You can go now, everything's arranged. The car is right at the gate of the compound. Just take the orders and go there."
Su Yu was delighted and quickly turned to report to Chairman Sun. Before she could speak, Chairman Sun smiled and said, "Let's go."
Thinking back to the past, when his car would always be taken away whenever he went out, Chairman Sun felt a sense of relief. Su handled this matter well.
As they left, Officer Tian stomped his feet in anger.
Why is she so unlucky? Why does nothing good ever come from meeting Su Yu?
After Su Yu and Chairman Sun got into the car, Su Yu said, "Chairman Sun, I think we need to book earlier in the future, otherwise we will never be able to book. In the future, I will check your schedule in advance and then come to book in advance."
"Okay." Chairman Sun nodded in satisfaction. He had no idea how long Su Yu meant by "later."
With just that one sentence, Su Yu had nothing more to say. As a mature secretary, one's words must not be idle; they must be of some use. It's not acceptable to chat aimlessly with the boss. How idle would the boss have to be to chat with you?
For example, her former secretaries, who wanted to get close to her, would chat with her non-stop, and then they would be replaced the next day.
She sat upright in the car, feeling the bumps and jolting of the old vehicle. This was her first time riding in a car from this era; if it weren't for her connections, she probably wouldn't have had the chance to get on this car at all.
But this car is so dilapidated, it's not comfortable at all. When Ying looked at Chairman Sun's contented, half-closed eyes, she realized that people in this era really have a tough time.
Now she's one of those suffering people, and the thought of it is truly tragic. She wonders how long it will be before she can return to her old, comfortable life. Forget about it now; even the great Chairman Mao in Beijing, with his radiant presence, didn't enjoy such a life. Apparently, his favorite food is braised pork—a bowl of braised pork is a luxury for him.
Alas, the road ahead is long and arduous...
Although she was lost in thought the whole way, Su Yu immediately perked up when the car arrived at the Dongcheng City Trade Union. She quickly got out of the car and opened the car door for Chairman Sun.
It was rare for Chairman Sun to arrive at the meeting in a car, and someone even opened the car door for him. He felt like he was finally behaving like a leader. He walked inside with his head held high and chest puffed out.
Following behind was Su Yu, who looked very serious. The two of them looked as if they were really having some kind of big meeting.
Upon entering the union meeting room, Chairman Sun encountered several old friends and exchanged greetings. Seeing Su Yu following behind, he casually asked, "Changed your secretary?"
Chairman Sun didn't speak directly either, after all, it wouldn't be appropriate to say that Su Yu was just a temporary replacement in front of him, so he said, "This is our union's Su, she is very serious about her work."
Su Yu smiled, then went over to help Chairman Sun find a seat, and took out a teacup and notebook to place on the seat, so that the meeting could start immediately after Chairman Sun sat down.
Seeing Su Yu's meticulousness in doing things, the union chairpersons from other factories joked with a smile, "She's a diligent comrade."
"That's right," Chairman Sun said with a smile.
Su Yu had just finished getting ready, and seeing that it was still early, she didn't linger. She had noticed many young people standing outside as soon as she came in.
After all, the meeting room wasn't big, and the leaders usually had to talk privately before the meeting, so it wouldn't look good for a bunch of assistants and secretaries to stand around.
She simply greeted Chairman Sun and went outside the conference room. She hadn't gone far when she saw several young people sitting and chatting in the corridor. Some of them were accompanying their leaders to meetings, while others were full-time secretaries.
Su Yu found a seat and approached a young female secretary. "Hello, comrade, I'm from the textile factory's union. My name is Su Yu. This is my first time here. Please take care of me."
