Yang Zhenhua's anger couldn't change the department's outcome, nor did he intend to. The steel rolling mill only had one remaining position at the division level, and the leader's secretary had no other choice, so Yang Zhenhua had no choice but to compromise. For him, maintaining a better relationship with the top leadership was more important than momentary displeasure.
Two weeks later, the ministry officially issued its approval for the new steel rolling mill, which clearly stipulated the establishment of a machine repair shop at the level of a division chief and an auto repair shop at the level of a deputy division chief.
After receiving the document, the steel rolling mill quickly circulated it. At the same time, a leadership meeting was held to establish a preparatory group for the new plant. The head and deputy head of the preparatory group were the leaders of the various plants, and two subgroups were set up under it: the machine repair plant preparatory group and the auto repair plant preparatory group.
The head of the machine repair shop preparatory group was the leader's secretary, while the head of the auto repair shop preparatory group was Xu Damao. According to the work plan, the preparatory groups were required to ensure that each new factory could be officially operational within six months. At that time, the preparatory groups would be dissolved, and the branch factory leadership teams would be formally established.
In other words, from now on, Xu Damao will be responsible for setting up the auto repair shop from scratch, including everything such as the site, personnel, machinery and equipment.
"Xu Damao, I'm speaking to you today on behalf of the organization." In the secretary's office, Yang Zhenhua was speaking to Xu Damao.
To be honest, Yang Zhenhua was quite satisfied with Xu Damao. He was individualistic, capable, adaptable, and efficient; most importantly, he was young and had a bright future. It was just a pity that this kid had been working for Li Xuewu for a long time.
Last time, there was an opportunity to transfer him from the No. 1 factory to the General Affairs Section as section chief, but unfortunately, due to the conflict between Lao Qiao and Li Xuewu, he was transferred to the Transportation Section. I originally thought that this kid would at least be quiet for a while, but I didn't expect him to cause so much trouble in such a short time.
This further solidified Li Xuewu's recommendation for him to become the head of the auto repair shop. This proves that outstanding people are outstanding wherever they are.
"Xu Damao, the organization has entrusted you with the auto repair shop this time. This is the greatest trust they have placed in you, and it is also a very important test for you."
This new factory is unlike any job you've ever had before. There's nothing there, no experience to draw upon. But you have to do it well; it doesn't have to be a project that lasts a thousand years, but at least it has to be able to function for a hundred. What are your thoughts?
As the top leader, Yang Zhenhua had a more comprehensive view of issues than Li Xuewu. While other leaders each had their own agendas and concerns, for Yang Zhenhua, the development of the entire factory was his development; if anything in the factory went wrong, it was because he, Yang Zhenhua, hadn't done a good job.
Therefore, although he had some reservations about not gaining control of the auto repair shop, he wouldn't deliberately try to ruin it. He still hoped that Xu Damao could get the auto repair shop back on track as soon as possible.
"First of all, I would like to thank Secretary Yang and all the leaders for their trust in me. To be honest, I didn't expect to have the honor of receiving this task, and I am really a little apprehensive. However, since I joined the transportation department, I have been thinking about the future of auto repair. In conjunction with the establishment of the new factory, I have some ideas."
First,···"
Xu Damao reported some of his ideas to Yang Zhenhua, which was a necessary procedure, and Xu Damao also hoped to get the support of the top leader in his work.
"What are your thoughts or suggestions regarding the leadership team of the auto repair shop?" Yang Zhenhua asked finally.
"I trust the organization in this regard, and I am confident and capable of uniting all my comrades to do a good job at the auto repair shop."
Xu Damao had his own ideas about the appointment of his deputies, but he knew that it was not something he could decide. He just hoped that the department heads could make most of the decisions according to their own wishes.
After leaving Yang Zhenhua's office, Xu Damao went directly to Li Xuewu's office.
"Director Li, everything is ready except for the final push, but I can't find anyone to do it, so I've come to you for help," Xu Damao said.
The work needs to be done, but currently I'm the only one at the auto repair shop. I don't know where the others are, or what the management is thinking.
"The deputy factory director and factory leaders will solve your personnel problems. If you have any ideas about other people, you can bring them up. If not, the factory will help you find someone. After you've discussed it, I'll help you coordinate," Li Xuewu said.
His meaning was clear: the deputy factory director level was decided by the factory leadership, while Xu Damao, the deputy section chief, could make some decisions himself, but the rest were still decided by the factory. In addition, the factory would coordinate personnel matters.
"That would be great. But who are the leaders and deputy factory directors? I want to meet with them as soon as possible so we can divide the work. Otherwise, if I do it all by myself, the auto repair shop won't be built even in 50 years." Xu Damao was genuinely anxious.
"What do you think of Gao Yan?" Li Xuewu didn't say anything else, but he did mention Gao Yan.
"Sister Gao, that's definitely a no-brainer, but can she come? This deputy factory director is just a section-level cadre, so if she comes, it will just be a lateral transfer."
Xu Damao never expected that Li Xuewu would bring back his old flame. When Gao Yan left the No. 1 factory, she told Xu Damao that she would not leave the factory or her family, but he didn't know how things had changed so quickly.
But Gao Yan's arrival was not a good thing for Xu Damao. Firstly, her relationship with Li Xuewu determined her stance and inclination, meaning that Xu Damao's every move would be under Li Xuewu's surveillance.
Secondly, Gao Yan is a bit of a flirt, and Xu Damao is worried that she might cause instability at the auto repair shop, especially since one of the parties involved is Li Xuewu.
Of course, it wasn't without its advantages. There were many things that Xu Damao couldn't handle personally, but Gao Yan could easily resolve them by whispering in Li Xuewu's ear.
“She’s just a section-level cadre in a branch factory. It’s a good promotion for her to be a deputy factory director in the city. She won’t have any objections. I’ll think about the other deputy factory director position and let you know in the next few days,” Li Xuewu said.
Previously, the auto repair shop was a division-level unit, and Li Xuewu had been considering assigning it to a deputy division-level position. This sudden demotion by half a level means many personnel will need to be reassigned.
“Okay. I’ll consider the departmental arrangements then,” Xu Damao said.
The auto repair shop is currently set up with a leadership team of one director and two deputy directors: one deputy division-level secretary who also serves as the factory director, and two section-level deputy factory directors.
The following departments are tentatively designated as: Office, Personnel Department, Finance Department, Procurement Department, Logistics Department, Auto Repair Workshop 1 (Cars), Auto Repair Workshop 2 (Trucks), Auto Repair Workshop 3 (Motorcycles), and Parts Workshop.
Many other functions, such as publicity, cannot be set up all at once, so the office will be responsible for overall coordination for the time being. Therefore, the position of office director is a department that Xu Damao must oversee, in addition to the workshop.
