Chapter 1523 Too Clever to Be Too Clever
When Li Ye nominated "Dong Shan", Shang Bin found it laughable. If he hadn't seen Ma Zhaoxian and Lao Meng also raising their hands in approval, he would have laughed out loud.
What is a stubborn resistance? This is it.
How clearly did Qu Si make it today? He said that "outstanding young people" need to be sent to the southwest to take on important responsibilities.
What is a "great responsibility"?
What's the situation at Southwest Heavy Truck right now? Tens of thousands of workers are waiting for their meals!
Since the higher-ups have made such an important temporary reassignment, of course they need to solve the problem. If you don't have the skills to make money, do you dare to take on this difficult task?
So, you got promoted so you can go sightseeing?
Therefore, Shang Bin had long predicted that this position would belong to Li Ye.
So Li Ye and the others put forward Dong Shan to challenge them? Are you just giving me the runaround? Or are you trying to fool the higher-ups?
What good things are you thinking?
So Shang Bin smiled, then said hesitantly, "Dong Shan... doesn't quite meet the requirements, does he? The opinion Qu Si conveyed to us yesterday is that we need capable and experienced young people."
Shang Bin rambled on and on, but what he said was the same thing: "The decision has already been made by the higher-ups, so don't be ungrateful."
However, Ma Zhaoxian said calmly, "Dong Shan is thirty-five years old this year, which just meets the standard for young people. He has sixteen years of work experience, which meets the requirements in terms of experience and qualifications. His academic qualifications are also outstanding, so I think he is quite suitable."
Shang Bin couldn't help but frown, feeling somewhat puzzled.
Li Ye was a capable subordinate of Ma Zhaoxian, so it was understandable that he wanted to protect Li Ye, but he would never dare to disobey the orders of his superiors.
So, who gave him such courage?
Just then, Lao Meng suggested, "Since Li Ye and Dong Shan are both very outstanding, let's follow the instructions from above, report the situation, and let them decide!"
Ma Zhaoxian nodded and said, "Then let's decide on that!"
"Alright, then let the higher-ups decide."
Yesterday, Qu Si did say that the decision would be left to his superiors, so Shang Bin had no choice but to agree. However, a feeling that "something was not right" arose in his mind.
But when I try to pinpoint what's wrong, I can't quite put my finger on it.
...
In fact, it wasn't just Shang Bin who couldn't understand it; most people in the group couldn't understand it either, and some other smart people just thought they understood it.
Why did General Manager Ma recommend Dong Shan? Dong Shan was just promoted to office director around the Spring Festival. How could he possibly be sent to the Southwest to take charge? A promotion of two levels within six months? Isn't that a joke?
[Child's play? Heh heh, let me ask you, how long has it been since Li Ye was promoted from deputy director to director? If he's promoted to head the Southwest this time, how many years will it take him to achieve this three-level promotion?]
What nonsense are you spouting? Is Li Ye the same as Dong Shanneng? Li Ye is a reincarnation of a money-giving genius; he's sworn brothers with wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong.
If Li Ye went to Southwest China, he could definitely save Southwest Heavy Truck, and everyone's wages would increase by three grades. But if Dong Shan went, could he raise the workers' wages?
[Hiss, then why bring Dong Shan out here?]
[Hehe, do you know what it means to be a runner-up? Do you know what it means to go through the motions? Do you know what it means to be a supporting character to complement a leading one? The above refers to recommending young people, not specifically recommending Li Ye.]
Oh, I see, brilliant, absolutely brilliant!
Whether they couldn't understand it or thought they had, everyone was convinced that Li Ye was about to leave the capital, since Dong Shan had no advantage over Li Ye at all.
Although Dong Shan is a few years older than Li Ye and has more work experience, choosing Dong Shan would lessen the envy and resentment of those who resent Li Ye for "climbing over my head at such a young age."
The problem is that Li Ye has climbed above everyone else, which brings real benefits to everyone.
On the eve of the Spring Festival in 1987, the Light Vehicle Company couldn't even pay wages, let alone provide New Year's benefits. It was only through emergency relief from the First Branch Factory that several thousand workers were able to have a good New Year.
Then the light vehicle company "joined forces" with Li Ye and was incorporated into the production and sales system of the No. 1 factory. In just a few years, everyone's wages doubled. Now the light vehicle company is one of the units with the best welfare in the entire Haidian.
So even if you're resentful of Li Ye in your heart, you'll accept it when you receive your salary.
If you were to actually sit in that chair, the workers probably wouldn't respect you.
Therefore, if the people below were to vote between Li Ye and Dong Shan, Dong Shan would not even get one-tenth of the votes, and Li Ye would inevitably be the "most outstanding young man".
But a few days later, when the list of people selected to assist the southwest was announced, everyone was stunned.
Dong Shan earned the title of "Outstanding Young Person" and was about to take up a post in the southwest.
"It's actually Dong Shan? How is that possible?"
"Why not? Didn't you hear the evaluation of Comrade Dong Shan from above? He's hardworking, capable, socially conscious, and dedicated to solving the difficulties of grassroots workers. Right now, the workers at Southwest Heavy Truck are in dire straits, and they need someone like him to go and make a difference."
"Wait a minute? Being hardworking and capable is one thing, but what do you mean by being concerned about society?"
"Hehe, you didn't know, did you? Since the Spring Festival, the First Branch Factory has absorbed more than 3,000 unemployed people, all thanks to Director Dong's tireless efforts in properly resettling them."
"The fact that the First Factory recruited new employees should be attributed to Li Ye, right? How did it become Director Dong's credit?"
After the Spring Festival, Dong Shan, under Li Ye's guidance, did indeed conduct a thorough investigation at the Light Vehicle Company and then "assisted" with the job placement of the new employees.
But everyone can see this. If the branch factory wasn't doing well, how could they possibly hire people? What kind of assistance would they provide if they weren't hiring? And Li Ye was in charge of managing the branch factory!
Dong Shan went to the grassroots level a few times and coordinated a few things, and then claimed all the credit for himself.
Therefore, many people felt it was unfair after the news was released.
"Hiss, could it be that Li Ye really didn't want to take up the post in the Southwest, so he pushed Dong Shan forward, and by some twist of fate, Dong Shan got the benefit? But why should he get the benefit? It shouldn't be his turn no matter what!"
After all, although Li Ye was young and arrogant, his achievements were undeniable. Countless people envied, were jealous of, and hated him, but there were a few who disagreed with him.
But Dong Shan was different. Everyone compared themselves to Dong Shan and felt that apart from being young, they were just as good as him!
Why doesn't this kind of good thing fall into my lap? I've dedicated decades to the light vehicle company!
But after a wise person said something, all those who were dissatisfied and resentful swallowed their anger.
"Hehe, you all don't understand, do you? Don't you even think about which unit Dong Shan used to work for? You've all read Journey to the West, right? Even the mounts of those great immortals would be addressed as 'Great King' if they came to the mortal realm."
“.”
Everyone fell silent. Only then did they remember that before Dong Shan was "sent down" to work at Jingnan Group, he had been living a carefree life in the air.
It was only at this point that Shang Bin realized what was happening.
Shang Bin smashed many things in the office in a fit of anger, but he still couldn't vent his anger and resentment.
[Hahaha, you're really too clever for your own good. You two had already colluded, right?]
