252 How is the deputy factory director?
Su Taotao returned to the factory. Dong Shengping had taken a leave yesterday and thought someone would be arranged to take his place for today's attendance, but she didn't expect Dong Shengping to be still on duty.
"Don't you want to take your sister-in-law to the hospital for a checkup?"
Dong Shengping thanked Su Taotao first: "She ate some of the pickled cabbage you sent her last night. It was very appetizing. She was able to drink some porridge and stopped vomiting. She said she didn't need to go."
Su Taotao smiled and said, "That's good. It will be much better after we get through this period. It won't always be like this."
Dong Shengping nodded: "I hope so."
Seeing that Dong Shengping's complexion had improved a lot, Su Taotao said, "If she can drink other porridge, you can also make some pork bone and dried vegetable porridge for her. In fact, minced fish porridge and egg and lean meat porridge have higher nutritional value.
I'm just worried that she's afraid of the fishy smell, so I think the pork bone and vegetable porridge is easier for her to accept. If you add two slices of ginger, most pregnant women can drink it."
Dong Shengping nodded continuously: "Okay, thank you Director Su."
"You're welcome," Su Taotao said. "By the way, can you keep an eye out for retired police dogs? I'd like to adopt one from the new factory when the time comes."
Dong Shengping: "Okay, I'll let someone pay attention."
…
Su Taotao returned to the office hearing greetings of "Good morning, Director Su" all the way, and Lao Gao's phone call happened to come in.
——"Congratulations, Director Su. Are you going to expand the factory so soon?"
Su Taotao smiled and said: "The leaders decided to expand the production scale, and I was also in a hurry to put the products on the shelves."
——"Don't be so modest. How good are your products? I'm not surprised at all that you're expanding your business. Whenever you're free, I'll accommodate your schedule."
Su Taotao: "I'm fine with that. It'll only take me about 20 minutes. It's quick. You can set a time."
——"Twenty minutes or so? I went to investigate the address Xiaolu mentioned with Mr. Fu a few years ago. We have to go around a mountain. It will take at least an hour to get there from your place, right?"
Su Taotao: "I accidentally found a shortcut this time. I walked through the reed field beside the road and followed the mountainside. It only took a few minutes to get there."
Lao Gao was secretly amazed.
——"How about this, I'll drive to your factory to pick you up, and then we'll go together."
Su Taotao: "Okay."
——"Tomorrow morning, then?"
Su Taotao: "No problem."
…
After hanging up Lao Gao's phone, Su Taotao called Xiao Lu in.
"Sister Su, what do you want me to do?"
Su Taotao twirled the pen in her hand and said, "Lao Gao just called and asked me to go to the new factory with him tomorrow morning."
Xiao Lu nodded: "No problem. By the way, Lao Gao introduced several customers to me and they all contacted me, but I didn't dare to accept their orders for the time being."
"How are the new employees adapting?" Su Taotao suddenly asked.
Xiao Lu nodded: "It's good. It's all about seeing and doing. With the guidance of the experienced staff, as long as we don't slack off, the productivity can be multiplied several times."
Su Taotao tapped the table gently: "You can arrange the order and start looking for an assistant. You will spend more time in the new factory, so you can arrange all the work here."
Xiao Lu was surprised and asked, "My assistant?"
Su Taotao raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "You don't want to work in the new factory?"
Xiao Lu shook his head: "Of course not, how about arranging an assistant in the name of your assistant?"
Su Taotao shook her head: "When the new factory starts recruiting, I will find another assistant. Your position will be promoted to a higher level. Someone will have to follow up on your work here and they will just report directly to you.
If there is a problem, I will only look for you, and you only need to report to me."
Xiao Lu was delighted and looked at Su Taotao in a fawning manner:
"Don't worry, Sister Su, I know what to do. So what position do you plan to assign to me?"
Su Taotao leaned back in her chair and looked at him seriously: "How is the deputy factory director?"
Clang...
Xiao Lu fell to the ground: "?"
Xiao Lu struggled to get up and looked at Su Taotao in disbelief: "Deputy Deputy Deputy Deputy... Factory Director?"
Su Taotao looked at him speechlessly: "Look at your lack of ability, what? Can't you do it?"
Xiao Lu took a deep breath and shook his head frantically: "No, no, it's just that this is too sudden. Sister Su, are you kidding me?"
Back then, he was so persistent in following Su Taotao because he only wanted the position of transport team captain. How could he dare to dream of becoming the deputy factory director?
He has only been Su Taotao's assistant for a few months, and now he is going to be the deputy factory director. His promotion is so fast that even taking a plane cannot!
How could he dare to believe it?
Su Taotao: "When have I ever joked with you? If you can do it, do it with all your strength. If you can't do it, I'll find someone else."
Xiao Lu was sure that Su Taotao was not joking, and his expression suddenly became serious:
"Sister Su, I'm not afraid to follow you! But I'm afraid it will be hard to obey you if I jump so many levels at once, right?"
"Then who can convince the public? Someone like Liu Zaitian, the eldest nephew of former Director Liu?" Su Taotao asked back.
Why is it “Former Director Liu”?
Because Director Liu has been forced to retire and is no longer the director.
As for his nephew Liu Zaitian, he is now just an ordinary worker and has been transferred back to his original unit to live a carefree life.
Xiao Lu shook his head vigorously: "Of course not, that old slicker is not here to work, he is just here to cause trouble, his mind is full of bureaucracy, he is profit-driven, he has experience but no brains, he is incompatible with the style of our factory."
Su Taotao: "You are not stupid. I don't care about qualifications, age or background when hiring people. I only hire people who can get things done and work with the factory.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have enough experience, you can learn by trial and error. I, as the factory manager, also don’t have enough experience, and the factory has just been established. We are all growing together with the factory.”
Absolute power to appoint personnel was one of the conditions proposed by Su Taotao when the factory was first established.
When she first hired Aunt Zhong, there were many voices of doubt, but facts proved that Aunt Zhong did a very good job.
She knew too well the consequences of nepotism and leaders inserting people into the ranks.
She tried to avoid it.
She made a big fuss to let everyone know where Liu Zaitian came from and where he was going.
The purpose is to kill the chicken to scare the monkey and put an end to the leaders' thoughts of trying to get people into her shoes.
Look how clean it is now.
Xiao Lu took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Sister Su, I will do whatever you ask me to do, without any second thoughts."
Su Taotao: "Anyway, you know what's going on. Just work hard for me. You will be the deputy factory manager in the future, but it won't happen so quickly. Before that, you are still my assistant.
How can I establish my authority, how can I win the support of the people, and how can I ensure that when my appointment letter is issued, everyone will support you instead of questioning you?
This is your first test paper on the road to becoming the deputy factory manager. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer. "
Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Xiao Lu is daring and hardworking, smart and enterprising. The key is that he is reliable in his work and has good character.
Su Taotao couldn't think of any reason not to give such a young person a chance.
Xiao Lu's expression was more serious than ever before:
"Don't worry, Sister Su. If one year doesn't work, then two years will do. If two years doesn't work, then three years will do. I will definitely train myself to be a deputy factory director that no one will question, and I will live up to your trust."
Xiao Lu felt that questioning him was a small matter, and he absolutely could not let others question Su Taotao's vision in employing people.
Su Taotao said the same thing: "Don't brag. Just be confident. When the factory is large enough, there will be at least two deputy factory managers, one for production and one for sales. I personally think you are more suitable for sales. Find your own direction."
Xiao Lu nodded heavily: "Okay, I understand, Sister Su."
Outside of Su Taotao's office, Xiao Lu's clenched fists were still trembling slightly.
He lifted it to his lips and bit it hard.
It hurts, not because of a dream!
Only a factory manager like Sister Su would give someone like him, who has no background, no qualifications, but only a lot of enthusiasm, the opportunity to compete for the position of deputy factory manager.
Even if he was grateful to Sister Su for her kindness, he would still work hard!
