Yan Jiecheng's Leisurely Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 54 Another Promotion

After Yan Jiecheng finished speaking, Li Huaide sat up straight, picked up the water cup, took a sip of water and said.

"Well, that's good. It seems that you are usually quite careful and observant. Who do you think is suitable to win over among these three factory managers?"

"Leader, I dare not speak rashly on this issue."

"Haha, you're too cautious."

Although Li Huaide said that Yan Jiecheng was cautious, he was very satisfied with his ability to know when to advance and when to retreat.

"By the way, that guy just now, is he on good terms with you?"

Yan Jiecheng knew that Li Huaide was talking about Ding Nianrong, and spoke quickly.

"Boss, that was Ding Nianrong from the logistics department. From what I've observed over time, I've noticed he has a good relationship with Deputy Director Wang. He's trying to befriend me, probably for your sake."

"Well, you drank a lot today, go back and rest."

"Okay, leader, you should rest early."

After Yan Jiecheng left the family building, he saw Ding Nianrong on the road. It seemed that he was waiting for him, so he walked up to him and said with a smile.

"Brother Ding, what are you doing..."

Ding Nianrong hesitated for a long time before speaking.

"Brother, the Logistics Department has been leaderless for a long time. I see that you have a close relationship with Secretary Li, so I wanted to ask you to put in a few good words for me."

What a joke! Yan Jiecheng and Ding Nianrong have only known each other for over a month, and their relationship hasn't reached that stage yet. Why should he speak for him? So he quickly waved his hand and refused.

"Brother Ding, you think too highly of me. I'm just a cook, a servant, after all. How could I possibly have such skills?"

Seeing Yan Jiecheng's refusal, Ding Nianrong quickly spoke.

"Brother, Secretary Li's attitude towards you is obvious to everyone. Don't be so modest. Don't worry, I understand the rules. I will definitely reward you handsomely afterwards."

Afterwards? Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but feel a little contempt for Ding Nianrong. Is this how you ask for help? Or does he look down on me?
However, this is the entrance to the family quarters, and those coming in and out are all management of the ironworks. It would be bad if someone saw them, so Yan Jiecheng just said it casually.

"Okay, since you said so, Brother Ding, I'll give it a try, but I can't guarantee the outcome."

……

After asking Yan Jiecheng about the situation at the ironworks, Li Huaide did not blindly believe Yan Jiecheng. He also observed secretly for a few days.

That day, Li Huaide called Yan Jiecheng to his office and spoke directly to the point.

"Jie Cheng, the main reason I'm taking up this temporary position at the ironworks is because they haven't been meeting their monthly production targets. I've been taking a look at the situation at the ironworks over the past few days and have decided to overhaul it from top to bottom."

"Boss, I'm just a cook. I don't understand what you're saying."

Seeing Yan Jiecheng pretending to be stupid, Li Huaide was not angry and said with a smile.

"He was a cook before, but he may not be in the future."

"I plan to eliminate some departments with overlapping functions, streamline some clerical staff, and transfer them all to the workshops. At the same time, I will also increase the authority of some departments."

"In order to realize my idea, I need some helpers from my own people. Jie Cheng, please don't let me down."

Faced with Li Huaide's invitation, Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but hesitate.

This is not a good job. If you don't do it right, you will become the public enemy of the whole factory.

Li Huaide naturally noticed Yan Jiecheng's hesitation, but this was normal, so he did not urge him, but just sat there and waited quietly.

After a long while, Yan Jiecheng finally spoke.

"Leader, I will follow your orders."

Yan Jiecheng agreed not because of his own future, nor because he was reluctant to part with Li Huaide's thick legs. As a time traveler, after feeling the atmosphere of this era, he would naturally be influenced by this era.

The current situation of the ironworks is indeed not satisfactory. Yan Jiecheng is still willing to take some risks if it can make it better.

After seeing Yan Jiecheng agree, Li Huaide couldn't help but laugh twice and said.

"Okay, Jie Cheng, I was right about you."

"Next, I will merge the warehousing, purchasing, maintenance, and housing management departments into the logistics department. You will be my deputy section chief of logistics."

Deputy Chief of Logistics? Was he promoted again?
After being surprised, Yan Jiecheng quickly declined.

"Leader, I just got promoted from a worker to canteen director. How long has it been? I've already been promoted to deputy section chief. Isn't it a bit too fast and inappropriate?"

Li Huaide waved his hand and said.

"Jie Cheng, your abilities are obvious to everyone. Besides, you're just a deputy section chief. I believe they'll still give you this little bit of respect."

Hearing Li Huaide's words, Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but wonder, "Everyone saw it? How come I didn't know about it?"

After coming out of Li Huaide's office, Yan Jiecheng still hadn't figured out the problem.

When Li Huaide really gets to work, he is very decisive and efficient.

After convincing Yan Jiecheng, the factory radio broadcast the decision to merge some departments into logistics the next day.

At the same time, it was also announced that Yan Jiecheng would be appointed as deputy chief of the logistics department.

Not only Yan Jiecheng was promoted, but Song Changyu, the former deputy section chief of the Housing Management Section, was also promoted to section chief of the Logistics Section.

Of course, there are some things that were not announced on the broadcast.

For example, a lot of people were transferred from various departments to the front-line production departments. Even five people were transferred from Yan Jiecheng's canteen.

Following the broadcast, Yan Jiecheng arranged the work in the canteen and then went to the office of the head of the logistics department to report.

At this time, Song Changyu had also arrived at his post and was tidying up in the office.

After seeing Yan Jiecheng, he stopped what he was doing and asked Yan Jiecheng to sit down.

"Deputy Section Chief Yan, what's going on?"

Hearing the other party emphasize the word "deputy" so much, Yan Jiecheng didn't take it to heart and continued to speak politely.

"Chief Song, I'm here to report to you. Also, the canteen's chef position is still vacant, so you need to make an appointment quickly."

"Okay, I see. Anything else?"

Song Changyu's question stumped Yan Jiecheng.

These words should be used to shoo people away, but when I come to report, shouldn't Song Changyu, as my immediate superior, arrange some work for me?

Yan Jiecheng smiled awkwardly and said.

"Section Chief, what do you think I should do next...?"

"Well, canteen work is the top priority of logistics. Before a new chef is found, Deputy Section Chief Yan should continue to be in charge of the canteen work."

Yan Jiecheng is indeed a chef by profession, so there is no problem in letting Yan Jiecheng take over temporarily until a chef is recruited for the canteen.

But this is a temporary replacement, so the work under the deputy section chief must be divided first, right?

Even if we don’t divide the work first, we still have to meet with our colleagues in logistics, right?

Without these, it means Song Changyu is just making things difficult for Yan Jiecheng.
