Chapter 13 Chapter 13 (Edited) Ge You: From the book...
"Xiao Cui, how are you doing?"
"What about the smelter?"
The two spoke at the same time, then looked at each other, and then both sighed.
The corruption problem in the factory was solved, but what followed was the problem of lack of manpower. Without skilled workers, the smelter could not start working on this iron thing.
Zhang Yu came here every day to study. He wanted to learn it very hard, but he couldn't even understand the instructions.
He is still young and can learn, but those are all uncles.
I sigh in front of the equipment every day.
The Finance Department was also short of staff, so Director Ge told Cui Wenjie to study without worry, but some accounts had to be reconciled before being handed over to the Purchasing Department for purchases.
Cui Wenjie was unable to take over, and was faced with employee stagnation and factory losses, which brought countless losses to Director Ge every day.
They didn’t know what to do now, but they remembered what Director Ge said last time.
They were criticized for having too many things to do.
"Don't you have any good ideas?" Cui Wenjie has great confidence in Zhang Yu's abilities. She admires Zhang Yu's way of dealing with people and his tact.
Zhang Yu lowered his eyes and said, "Compared to Director Ge, I'm still far behind."
For example, Zhang Yu admired Director Ge's generosity and decisiveness, his ability to judge the situation, his ability to control the situation, and even his ability to make people angry.
He still remembers Wang Yong's gloomy face in the police station.
"You can't compare yourself to Director Ge. There's a difference between ordinary people and Director Ge."
Zhang Yu: …
I should say thank you for your comfort.
"Compared to Sister Zhang, Brother Peng, and even Wang Zhengyuan, we are far behind."
This is the knot in Zhang Yu's heart that he can't let go of, "What do you think Director Ge values about Wang Zhengyuan?" I heard that Wang Zhengyuan also has a tie clip given by Director Ge. Why is there such favoritism?
It’s not that I’m jealous, but I do feel a little unhappy.
Cui Wenjie didn't think as much as Zhang Yu did. She tried to analyze it from Ge You's perspective, "Maybe it's just a friendly exchange between partners."
"But Director Ge rejected all the advances from the owner of the equipment factory."
"... Director Ge must have her own hidden agenda."
All right.
Zhang Yu felt that there were too many things going on in his own factory, which annoyed Director Ge. It would indeed be simpler to get along with people from other factories.
But now, what to do?
Sister Zhang was not around, and Brother Peng was a taciturn person. None of them could see what Director Ge was thinking, nor could they guess the deeper meaning behind her actions.
Zhang Yu held his forehead and concluded, "We can only go to see Director Ge again."
It seemed that because they had come so often, Director Ge didn't seem surprised at all by their arrival.
Her eyes seemed to say 'It's you again', which was enough to make the two of them feel ashamed and at a loss.
"Director Ge, what are your arrangements for the recent work at the steel plant?" Zhang Yu put his fingers on the seams of his pants like a soldier. As soon as he entered this room, he felt a sense of oppression in his heart.
This is the umpteenth time that Ge You has missed Zhang Wenxiu.
What arrangements should she make?
Is it any wonder that Zhang Yu, as the initiator of the question, shouldn't have expressed it more clearly?
Cui Wenjie completed Zhang Yu's unfinished words, "The factory is currently short-staffed, and no one knows how to use the new equipment. Operations are now completely halted, so I came to ask for your opinion, Director."
Ge You found a random seat and sat down, motioning for them to sit down as well.
They don't feel tired even when talking while standing.
But was that all? She remembered that she had asked Cui Wenjie to study hard and not worry about the Finance Department's affairs for the time being, so this situation was within her expectations.
"Then let's stop work and let the employees take paid leave." Ge You said calmly.
Work stoppage? Paid leave?
Do we really need to give out so many benefits at once? Won't this cause the factory to lose a lot of money?
"The factory doesn't make much money anyway."
Zhang Yu then realized that he had raised the issue, and Director Ge's answer was too generous, but it was true that compared to the daily sighing in the factory and complaints about the replacement of new equipment, there were deep doubts about whether they could work normally in the future.
It is precisely because people gather together, anxiety spreads, and uneasiness spreads that things have become what they are now.
Compared to coming to work doing nothing like this, it is indeed better to have paid vacation.
"What if we come back? Still no one here knows how to use the new equipment." Thinking of this, Zhang Yu felt a little ashamed because he wanted to learn but didn't learn it well.
Director Ge once comforted him about this. I still remember her saying, "That's the designer's fault. Tools are designed to be used by people. If they're troublesome, it only means the design isn't perfect."
He was touched, yes, but he still hated his own incompetence.
Let’s learn, and start by learning to read.
Zhang Yu is full of fighting spirit, but the first thing that needs to be done is to solve the current problem. Their factory does lack engineering designers.
Do we need to recruit people from outside at this time?
"You don't have to worry about this matter. I have found a very suitable person." Ge You calmly interrupted Zhang Yu's wild thoughts. Now let the factory rest for a week. As for the equipment, with that kind of talent, he should be able to master it just by taking a look.
Zhang Yu didn't expect that Director Ge had only been in the capital for less than a week and already knew someone who could operate the equipment?
Moreover, these subordinates actually asked the factory director to recruit talents. Thinking of this, Zhang Yu and Cui Wenjie looked at each other and lowered their heads in shame.
Ge You folded his hands on his knees. She looked out the window and said calmly, "Just inform them that the workers will have a week off, including the canteen."
Before acquiring another factory, the canteen in her factory needed to be renovated first, so she handed it over to the outsourced design department.
As for the rest, Ge You looked at the two of them and said, "As for the rest, it's the same for you."
The whole factory is on holiday for a week, including her. After running around all day yesterday, her wish of just spending money seemed to have been shattered. She is already the boss, so why can't she give herself a week off?
As for Cui Wenjie and Zhang Yu, if they didn't take a holiday, their visits would give her the illusion that they were at work.
This feeling is too bad.
Ge You raised his hand, took out three hundred dollars from his bag and placed it on the table, "Minister Zhang, this purchase bonus is for you."
He only knew that sales received commissions, but he never knew that purchasing also received bonuses.
Director Ge has so many surprises that he doesn't know about.
But he really couldn't take the money. The deal for the power plant equipment was made by Director Ge himself, and the air purifier that he asked him to buy was also easily negotiated with Wang Zhengyuan.
The doubled salary was already a surprise to him, and he couldn't accept the 300 yuan bonus no matter what.
"Director, I don't need a vacation, and I don't need a bonus for the little work I do."
Ge You lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "There's a lot more to purchasing than just buying. There's communication and negotiation with various equipment manufacturers, and pricing."
Zhang Yu clenched his fists, his whole body and mind revealing his unwillingness to accept the order. Ge You continued, "And there's also the matter of the smelter. You controlled the situation and found the culprit, but this isn't what purchasing should do."
"I didn't do much, it was mainly because of you, the factory director..."
Ge You interrupted him and pushed the money forward a little, "The most important thing is, use this money to buy a new suit."
Director Ge actually noticed that his new suit was stained with lime! Because it was too late to clean it, he was just wearing his old suit.
Just because you think he got his clothes dirty while trying to maintain order, you feel you have to make it up to him?
This feeling is too hard to describe.
The one Zhang Yu was wearing was washed white. Because he was young, he was still using the one his predecessor had worn. It didn't fit him well and looked funny.
Sometimes when he saw Wang Zhengyuan in a suit and tie, he felt ashamed of the factory and was envious and jealous.
Especially when he heard that Wang Zhengyuan's tie clip was given by Director Ge, he kept thinking about why this man had Director Ge's favor. He didn't believe Cui Wenjie's superficial reason that it was a cooperative partner.
He must have some special talents, but this time Director Ge actually gave him a suit. Does that mean he acknowledges that he has talents?
Zhang Yu felt a surge of emotion.
Director Ge also kindly reminded him that the construction period was one week and asked him to come to work wearing a new suit.
With a boss like Director Ge around, he wished he could work in the steel plant for the rest of his life.
The perspective turned to Cui Wenjie. Cui Wenjie waved her hand. She saw Zhang Yu's hard work, but she really didn't do anything, so she wouldn't accept the bonus.
No matter what! Absolutely!
So Ge You paused for a while and decided to give her a book.
"Isn't this the book that Director Ge brought back from Hong Kong specifically?" Because it was Cui Wenjie who cleaned the room at the time, she still remembered the situation at that time.
I still remember that she was very disappointed with Director Ge. She had very shallow knowledge and vision at that time.
Just think about it, at that time Director Ge did not bring any luxury goods or brand-name clothes, he only brought these books with him. The importance of these books to Director Ge is self-evident.
But now, Director Ge wants to give it to her.
This is too valuable, much more valuable than the 300 yuan bonus. Cui Wenjie feels it is too hot to hold.
Ge You was a little surprised, "You still remember."
At that time, this was the original owner's thing. He must have cared about it very much after taking so much trouble to carry it. Even if Ge You had no conscience, he couldn't just throw such a thing away somewhere.
She casually glanced at this thing and found it helpful for financial management. How can one learn without teaching materials? This is very suitable for Cui Wenjie.
"Director, how could I forget something you brought me with so much effort?"
The painful memory of pulling the suitcase for these books along the way came to his mind. This seemed a bit stupid and strange in front of outsiders, so Ge You decided to make amends for himself.
“…Books contain a golden house.”
Cui Wenjie's eyes lit up, her pupils dilated. She carefully picked up the book, looked at Ge You, and promised solemnly, "Director, I will definitely study hard and cherish it."
Seeing that both of them were immersed in their own thoughts, no one mentioned the matter of going to work during the seven-day holiday.
Ge You curled up the corners of his mouth and leisurely poured himself a cup of tea.
