Chapter 1 Chapter 1 (Edited) The new factory manager is here...
The steel plant is located in a suburban industrial park, with only a few brick buildings and about twenty workers. Since there is no business, there is no work to do. The workers walk back and forth idly, slacking off under the noses of the supervisors.
Cui Wenjie has been working in finance for three months. She quite likes this job. She only needs to work one hour a day and earns nearly 60 yuan a month. As long as the factory does not go bankrupt, she can do this job for the rest of her life.
But this place is about to go bankrupt. If you just look at the bills, you will see tens of thousands of dollars in debt.
"We've had another factory manager this month. I don't even know how many times this has happened."
"It's so mysterious, even Sister Zhang hasn't heard of it."
"Anyway, it's just a hot potato being thrown around. No one wants to care or ask about it anymore. While we're still getting paid, we'll just work as long as we can."
"It doesn't cost much to get some experience as a factory manager. We're just paving the way for some rich second generation. After all, we were once supported by the state. It sounds good when we say it out loud."
"That's right. I heard this time that she's a returnee from overseas. I wonder where this rich girl came from."
"Oh my god, it's a girl. Why doesn't she buy a textile factory or a perfume factory instead of coming to this stinky steel mill?"
Wastewater and exhaust gas are discharged every year. Not only is the air quality bad, but even clean water is hard to drink.
If a delicate girl came, she would be disgusted to death.
When they mentioned a girl, everyone's attention turned to Cui Wenjie, who was also a girl. "That's good for you, Cui. You have financial experience here, which will make it easier for you to change jobs."
Cui Wenjie is the youngest and least experienced person in the office, so she is often sent to do some work such as serving tea, pouring water and wiping tables.
It was like this when she came in. It was obvious that these people, young and old, with and without children, were hugging each other and becoming a group.
She often felt isolated, so facing these people at this moment was quite awkward, like being asked about marriage during the Chinese New Year. She immediately smiled awkwardly and waved her hands, "It's not that easy out there these days. State-owned factories are laying off people."
She only graduated from elementary school and has a sick old mother to support. With her current conditions, how can she find a better place than this one?
She is the one who is worried to death.
Ge You stood outside the door. Inside was the finance office, and the topic of discussion was related to her.
Logically, she should wait a moment and then knock on the door politely, but Ge You didn't want to be so polite now. "Sorry to interrupt your gossip, can you take me to the director's lounge?"
The factory director's lounge?
Cui Wenjie reacted the fastest, "Are you Director Ge?"
Although she had heard that she was a rich girl, she didn't expect her to be so fair-skinned, young and pretty. She thought she was some big star in Hong Kong.
But Director Ge just said that they were disturbing us with gossip, which means that Director Ge heard all these words. Although none of them were said by Cui Wenjie, she still felt a little embarrassed for her predecessors.
The seniors behind her turned around and went about their own business, and now she was the only one left in the originally crowded crowd.
She hurried forward to take the suitcase. "Director Ge, your journey from overseas must have been difficult. I'll take you to the lounge right away."
She was afraid that it was not enough for her to carry the luggage, so she called someone from the office next door to help Ge You carry his luggage.
The lounge is not big, but it is enough.
It's because the factory director has never lived here. Normally, the factory director's driver would come for an inspection in his car, and when the time comes, he would leave faster than anyone else.
Ge You actually felt that the conditions didn't matter right now, as long as he could sleep, and the rest would be left to him later. "Is this room the largest in the entire steel plant?"
Cui Wenjie is new here, so if she wants to be familiar with the terrain, it has to be Zhang Yu. He is the one Cui Wenjie asked to carry her suitcase.
As one of only three purchasing managers in the company, he was particularly eloquent. "This one isn't the biggest, but it has the best air. Look, someone cleans it every day, and there are even flowers in it."
Ge Youyou nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Later, we will move the factory director's lounge there. It will be convenient for renovation since we won't be living there anymore.
"Do you need us to help you clean up?"
The employees were so considerate that Ge You naturally had no reason to refuse. They took apart the mattress and quilt covers, washed them, and replaced them with new ones. They also did the flower arrangements. Even though the former factory director had only lived there once, Ge You still didn't want to be contaminated by the smell of that uncle.
There was also her suitcase. She didn't bring anything special when she came back from Hong Kong this time. She just brought some money, clothes and some stock trading books.
They were arranged one after another on the bookcases and clothes racks. However, when they were packing up, their mood seemed a little depressed. They even asked, "Director, are these the only things you brought?"
After she answered 'yes' the atmosphere seemed to become even more silent, but Ge You didn't care. She herself didn't care much about others.
She even went to the staff cafeteria to eat two buns to fill her stomach.
'Carrot and Egg Bun'
'Sauerkraut Vermicelli Buns'
'Cabbage Vermicelli Bun'
Is there no meat bun? This place is a steel factory, which is a hard labor job. There is no way, Ge You ate two carrots and eggs.
At least there's some egg in it.
The buns in the cafeteria cost money, but she is the factory director and the entire factory belongs to her. Why should she pay for a meal?
She was very confident and the chef knew she was the factory manager and was very excited to cook a few dishes for her. However, when she saw the all-vegetarian dishes in the kitchen, she instantly lost her appetite.
Actually, eating buns is still okay now.
"……No."
When Ge You returned, the two of them had basically cleaned up the lounge. It wasn't high-end, but at least it was fresh and clean. Ge You nodded, thinking that the two of them were quite efficient.
Never mind the job duties, she only cares about the cleaning ability.
"Baozi, do you want anything to eat?"
It seemed a bit shabby. One of them had a bite on it, and there was dust on the bag. Ge You paused for a rare moment, then thought of a compromise. "Give each of you a raise of 100 yuan."
A raise? Or a hundred yuan?
And only the two of them got a raise? It's obvious that when the boss raises their salaries, employees should be excited.
But Director Ge still doesn’t even know their names or their departments, so what should they do now that they feel the new director is even less reliable?
Zhang Yu asked hesitantly, "Director, do you know my name?"
The new factory manager seemed to hesitate for a moment, then said firmly, "Zhang Jie!"
Isn’t that right?!
Zhang Yu was about to collapse. You know, he and Cui Wenjie are both newcomers and relatively young. In addition, they have sick relatives at home to take care of, so they attach more importance to this job.
Unlike those old hands, when they saw the factory director coming back from overseas with a suitcase, they were unwilling to help.
I'm afraid they all think that the new factory director is too young to stay for long, so they are not even willing to do superficial work. On the one hand, they want to please the new factory director, and on the other hand, they really hope that the new factory director is a rich second-generation who is willing to take care of the factory.
But I didn’t expect that the factory manager was really just here to rest, and the things in her suitcase were not money, but study books!
He calmed down and introduced himself again, then introduced Cui Wenjie. Ge Youdian nodded and said, "I'll tell the people in the finance department."
The people here clearly have a finance department!
But it is true that we can't let Cui Wenjie talk to those seniors about salary increase by herself. That would be a bit weird.
If you think about it carefully, this can also be considered as the boss's gentleness?
Zhang Yu and Cui Wenjie looked at each other, and it was obvious that they had the same idea. Moreover, compared with those arrogant factory directors before, Director Ge was definitely the most gentle and calm one.
Let’s not talk about whether the salary increase is reliable or not, but I got a salary increase of 100 yuan a month just for helping to clean the room.
Is this the amount of funds that should be available in China? This is enough for a family of three to live on for half a year. Zhang Yu regained his composure, looked at Cui Wenjie, and asked the question that concerned them the most.
"... Director Ge, what do you think of this steel plant?"
“…Productivity is lagging behind?”
"Then how do you plan to manage it?"
Ge You said frankly, "I don't plan to manage it."
If I remember correctly, she got the position of factory director, not the person in charge. Then as the factory director, she only needs to be in charge of spending money.
Management is the job of the subordinates. They just give her a plan every month and then she finalizes it.
As for how much money she spends, that is not something she needs to worry about. After all, she has an investment system with unlimited investment, and it is the money she earned in her previous life.
It is said that this money will be used for initial investment in stocks that are sure to make money, which means that the specific amount of this money is unlimited.
The system was furious, [Host! You are abusing your authority!]
First, they eat for free, and then they arbitrarily increase employees' salaries. This really does not conform to the first rule of working as a corporate slave, which is the employee code of conduct: "If you want the donkey to run, you must not let the donkey eat grass."
Who understands! Its host was clearly a hardworking and money-saving expert in her previous life, because she ate half-price bento, slept in a three-square-meter apartment, and even remembered to send an email to her boss at the last minute.
But now that she has died once, everything has changed!
It would be fine if they only agreed to move after much persuasion, but they also had to reimburse the entire cost of the return trip, under the pretext that it was the expense of a business trip!
This is completely different from what the system detected before!
Can I still return the product now? This is a scam, a blatant scam!
Of course, a simple single-celled organism like the system would not understand that when a person works hard all his life, in the end there is nothing left, and the money he saved becomes a tool to enslave himself.
Then humans will enter the ultimate stage of being a corporate slave, which is to give up.
Ge You is in such a state now. Since trying hard doesn't work, then she might as well not try hard at all. As for the "steel value" mechanism that the system talks about, she is too lazy to listen. In short, it's all a pie in the sky drawn by the system.
Besides, she had heard enough complaints like this along the way. If the system really had a way to dissolve their relationship, there would be no need to be so helpless and furious.
Ge You felt that she had seen through the truth.
[Tongzi, don’t you need to rest? ]
[We are artificial intelligence, so of course we are on standby 24 hours a day!]
Of course, host, you should answer its questions first and don't always try to change the subject.
"Really? Then you're in trouble."
The system felt a dull pain in its heart for some unknown reason, and stubbornly retorted, "What a tragedy! Everything I do is to satisfy the will of the great System Creator, and everything I do is for all of humanity to live happily!"
[And host, do you remember we have the 'Steel Value' mission to complete? At least show some leadership!]
The host complained back and forth for a while, and when he came to his senses, he noticed the host's steady breathing.
At this frequency, the host actually fell asleep like this!
【Host! ! ! 】
