The next morning, the air pressure in the office reached its lowest point.
The atmosphere was created by the working group meeting chaired by Bu Senyuan, which focused on discussing how to achieve phased breakthroughs.
Jiang Yun didn't expect that the biggest obstacle did not come from outside.
First, Yan Lixin strongly opposed the establishment of a cooperative group: "Team Leader Bu, the methods you mentioned are simply unworkable! We are the superior unit, and things are handled from the top down. How can we be equals? Everything will be a mess! Who will we listen to then?"
No matter how Bu Senyuan explained, it was useless. He didn't want to repeat himself on this issue. "I've already called Minister Su and reported it verbally. The higher-ups told us to sign the report and send it back."
Yan Lixin's face turned pale. "Team Leader Bu, you've seen it these past few days. No matter how impressive the sign is, those people just bow a little wider when they see our letters of introduction. They keep repeating the same old phrases! 'I don't know this, I'm not sure about that, I'll check with the leader again, the person you're looking for isn't here...' Is it because I'm incompetent? Am I dragging my feet? Do you think I'm willing to go hungry, sleep poorly, and never see my wife and children all year long?"
Bu Senyuan said sternly, "It's because we still get the same result that we need to change our working methods. Do you want Minister Su to come down and conduct the investigation in person?"
Yan Lixin snorted coldly: "I don't agree, I won't sign!"
Bu Senyuan refused to give in: "If more than half of the people sign, the application report can be submitted!"
There's no way, it was too easy to win, who made him bring three people with him!
Yan Lixin was so angry that he slammed the table and said nothing more.
The two team leaders are in conflict, and the team members under them suffer.
Needless to say, the four people in Bu Senyuan's team did not need the signatures of the people in Yan Lixin's team at all, and the report could have been submitted smoothly.
Miao Haiping sorted out the meeting minutes, wrote an application report, asked Lin Ruifang to sign it, and then timidly went to find Qiu Kai and Su Kang.
Qiu Kai and Su Kang were forced to take sides and could only sign to abstain.
Jiang Jun asked, "Sister Miao, why haven't you signed yet?"
Miao Haiping whispered, "I want to abstain."
Jiang Yun was surprised: "So you support Team Leader Yan!"
Miao Haiping argued anxiously, "Team Leader Bu and Team Leader Yan are both from our Social Research Group. Choosing either one would be difficult to explain to the other. So, I don't want to choose either one!"
Jiang Jun smiled slightly: "If you abstain, it means you support Team Leader Yan!"
Miao Haiping was anxious: "Doesn't Team Leader Bu still have three votes? Team Leader Yan only has one vote!"
Jiang Jun laughed, "If more than one-third of the votes abstain, the application report won't be submitted, meaning we'll have to re-examine it!"
Miao Haiping asked, "What if Team Leader Yan gives up first?"
Jiang Jun thought it was hilarious: "Can a team leader give up?"
Why is he still a team leader? Just fire him!
If Team Leader Yan was no longer the team leader, Qiu Kai and Su Kang would not have given up their votes!
However, Jiang Jun did not intend to explain it too thoroughly. She had already made her words clear enough. If she said more, it would be suspected of incitement, and Yan Lixin would transfer his anger to her.
Miao Haiping frowned: "What should I do then?"
Jiang Jun spread his hands and said, "You make your own decision! I'm going out to buy some personal hygiene products. You and Sister Lin should go back to the dormitory first. You don't have to wait for me!"
The Lantern Festival is coming soon, which is Gao Shengmei's wedding day. She can't rush back to Beijing, so she has to call to celebrate in advance.
These were her private matters and she didn't want to use the public phone.
It happened that Bu Senyuan and Yan Lixin had a quarrel and went out, so Jiang Jun quickly took the time to go to the post office to make a long-distance call.
At the long-distance call counter at the post office, the same female salesperson from last time was there. Upon seeing Jiang Jun, she immediately put down the sunflower seeds in her hand and looked at the slip of paper she had handed over. "Which number do you want to call first?"
Jiang Jun wrote two numbers, both of which were confidential military numbers. One was from Chen Yuanwu's office, and the other was from Gao Shengmei's home, which was Gao Lei's commander's building in the military headquarters.
"Whoever dials first gets called first!"
The first call was to Gao Shengmei.
The saleswoman asked Jiang Jun to go to the phone and answer the call: "After this call, just hang up. We will continue to call you second time. Please answer it when it rings."
They were all special numbers that looked scary, so the switchboard gave them the green light.
Jiang Jun picked up the phone and called out, "I'm Jiang Jun!"
Gao Shengmei's voice was both anxious and happy: "Xiao Jiang, where are you? I heard Aunt Ye say you were on a business trip? I'm getting married the day after tomorrow, can you make it back?"
"I'm busy with work and can't make it back." Jiang Jun said with great regret: "If I can't drink your wedding wine, please send it to Lingcheng for me to drink!"
Gao Shengmei actually said, "Okay, I'll think about it! Xiaojun, where are you? How can I find you then?"
There is nothing that their film studio doesn't know about.
Jiang Yun told Gao Shengmei the office phone number: "This is the number of my current work address. I will pick you up when you arrive."
She believed Gao Shengmei would do what she said.
The call to Chen Yuanwu went through, and it was answered by Zhang, the officer from the next office, who was the emcee for their wedding, Zhang Paoquan. "Hey! It's the staff officer's wife? Staff Officer Chen is out on a mission!"
Jiang Yun was very disappointed: "Then write down my phone number and ask Chief of Staff Chen to call me when he comes back!"
In addition to studying and discussing the research work, the group meeting in the morning also announced the principles for using office phones, stipulating that office colleagues can answer or make calls to their families during non-office hours, provided that the unit and work content are kept confidential.
Secretary Zhang: "Okay, I'll report this to Staff Officer Chen! By the way, Madam Staff Officer, when will you be back to give us a concert? We're all so anxious! Staff Officer Chen is so worried that our breath might ruin the piano, he's been staying in the office day and night!"
Jiang Jun chuckled: "I'll go back when I'm done with work."
After making a long-distance call and coming out of the post office, Jiang Jun was in a particularly good mood. When passing by a grocery store, he happily bought another big bag of cakes.
Back in the dormitory, Jiang Jun called Lin Ruifang to her room for some snacks.
Miao Haiping said sourly, "Xiao Jiang, just because I said I wanted to give up, you didn't even invite me for snacks?"
Jiang Jun retorted with a half-smile: "I bought the cakes and dumplings I like. You said they weren't tasty!"
It's so annoying that they make a big deal out of dividing people into gangs just for buying snacks.
And he said it in this way. Only a fool would be so kind as to maintain harmony!
She was not afraid of offending Miao Haiping at all.
This is the experience Jiang Yun just summed up. You can't tolerate Miao Haiping casually, and you can't tolerate everything.
