Siheyuan: Traveling through Cai Quanwu, pretending to be Uncle Shazhu

"Director, what are you busy with?"

After entering the office, Cai Quanwu greeted Director Ma with a smile.

"Haha, Quanwu, is there something wrong?" Director Ma looked at Cai Quanwu, who never came to visit without a reason, and asked with a smile.

"Hey, Director, didn't you give us the assignment yesterday? I came to you to get a certificate so that I can deal with other units when I go out."

"Without proof, I'm afraid of causing unnecessary trouble."

Cai Quanwu did not beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.

He is preparing for a rainy day. If you ask around the whole city about the old fan and it arouses other people's vigilance, they will report you, which will be very troublesome.

It’s different if you have proof.

If you can prove that you are working on behalf of the company, then you eliminate the risk of being reported by others.

After all, the proof from units in this era is still very convincing.

"Oh, about this matter. Okay, I'll prescribe it for you right away."

After hearing Cai Quanwu's explanation, Director Ma took out the letter of introduction and opened it for Cai Quanwu without hesitation.

After all, it was a task I arranged myself.

He opened the letter of introduction, stamped it with the company's official seal, and then handed it to Cai Quanwu.

Cai Quanwu took the letter of introduction, glanced at it, folded it and put it in his pocket, but he showed no intention of leaving.

"What's the matter? Do you have something else to do?" When Director Ma saw that Cai Quanwu put away the letter of introduction and did not leave, he knew that this guy had other things to do.

Cai Quanwu took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed one to Director Ma, took one himself, and then lit up for both of them. Then he said with a smile: "Hehe, I really have something to ask the Director."

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Director Ma took a puff of his cigarette, stared at Cai Quanwu, and asked casually.

"My nephew told me last night that their steel mill has issued a notice to carry out wage grading reform. Director, do we have any news yet?" Cai Quanwu said what he wanted to ask with a smile.

When Director Ma heard Cai Quanwu ask this question, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed and joked:

"Haha, this steel mill is quite positive about wage reform."

Hearing the teasing tone in Director Ma's words, Cai Quanwu jokingly said:

"The policy says it can increase income, so how can we not be enthusiastic? Besides, this is also in response to the call from above. The leaders also want to make progress, so they must keep up with the pace from above."

"Hey, you have a lot of expectations. I think it would be a waste of your talent if you are not a leader."

After Cai Quanwu finished speaking, Director Ma looked at him and started joking.

Although he knew that Director Ma was joking, Cai Quanwu still shook his head like a rattle: "I don't have that ability, and I'm not cut out to be a leader. I'm satisfied as long as I can work peacefully."

Cai Quanwu was speaking from his heart. He really had never thought of becoming a cadre.

He knew that he was capable of taking care of all the responsibilities of a empire, so how could he, an uneducated and unconnected person, have a chance to take care of everything?

Unless there are special circumstances or they have gained seniority, a group of people will survive.

Director Ma did not comment on Cai Quanwu's words, nor did he dwell on it. He spoke directly:

"The salary grading reform plan is still under discussion, but it has little to do with you. You have only been working for a short time, and even if you are graded, your salary will not be much higher than your current salary."

"I don't know exactly when the notification will be issued, but it should be finalized this month."

After getting the answer from Director Ma, Cai Quanwu was not disappointed, but smiled:

"Hey, even if there's one more piece it's still good."

"Quanwu, you have a very good attitude." Director Ma sighed with a smile after Cai Quanwu finished speaking.

"There's nothing you can do if you have a bad attitude. People need to know themselves." Cai Quanwu spread his hands.

The two chatted for a while, and when they finished their cigarettes, Cai Quanwu left the office.

After leaving the office, Cai Quanwu said hello to Xiao Wu and rode out on his bike.

With the letter of introduction, it is much easier for Cai Quanwu to contact some commissioned stores.

Every time I went to a commissioned store, I found the salesperson, showed the letter of introduction first, and then explained my purpose. Everyone was very polite.

I spent the whole morning going to two commission stores I had never been to, but unfortunately I didn't find anything because there were too few scrapped fans.

At noon, Cai Quanwu went to a restaurant, ate his fill, and then ran to the commissioned store of Brother Wang and his team, chatted with everyone for a while, and then continued running in the afternoon.

There was no gain, but Cai Quanwu spent a few dollars to buy some signed bowls, plates, bottles and jars.

It was not until the end of the get off work day that Cai Quanwu returned to the grain store.

After returning to the grain store, Cai Quanwu immediately found Director Ma to report his work.

After hearing Cai Quanwu's report, Director Ma had expected something from their previous conversation and didn't hold out much hope, so he just asked him to make another run.

After coming out of Director Ma’s office and staying in my room for a while, the bell for the end of get off work rang.

With Director Ma's instructions, Cai Quanwu continued to travel around the city for the next few days.

After wandering around for a few days, I didn't gain anything and even found a few old fans.

Whether it can be used or not, Cai Quanwu has to take it apart and try it out.

On this day at work, Cai Quanwu was fiddling with some old fans in his room when Xiao Wu ran over and shouted at the door, "Uncle, the director wants us to have a meeting."

"Oh, here we come."

After hearing Cai Quanwu’s response, Xiao Wu turned around and left.

Cai Quanwu put down the tools in his hand, went out to wash his hands, and then walked towards the grain store.

When we arrived at the grain store, everyone had already gathered and was waiting for Cai Quanwu.

When Cai Quanwu walked into the crowd, Director Ma spoke:

"Everyone should know that various units are carrying out wage reforms during this period."

As soon as Director Ma said this, people started talking about it. This news had been out for a long time, but the grain system had not given any clear notice, so no one expected the news to come out suddenly.

Seeing everyone talking among themselves, Director Ma was not angry, but just raised his voice a little:

"Okay, if you have any questions, please discuss them privately. I haven't even started yet."

The leader's words were very intimidating and everyone immediately quieted down.

"The wage grading reform has different specific circumstances for each unit, and our grain system also has its own special circumstances."

"Everyone's level will be determined according to the documents issued by the higher authorities. After the documents are issued, you can check them yourself. If you have any opinions, you can report them to the higher authorities in a unified manner."

"Let me say this in advance: no matter what level you are assigned, you can raise your opinions, but never bring your emotions into work."

When it comes to wage reform and grading, there will definitely be people who are satisfied and people who are not.

Especially in the service industry, unlike other jobs that can be specifically assessed, there is too much room for maneuver.

Director Ma has given everyone a heads-up in advance, telling them not to cause any trouble while working.

Cai Quanwu, who was listening below, felt that Director Ma not only meant to give them a heads-up in advance, but also had another meaning, which was that if they had connections, they should find the right people to deal with the matter and not wait until it was settled before making a fuss.

As a leader, Director Ma knows the room for maneuver here very well. He gave hints and made the final decision. So don't make trouble for him.

As for whether everyone understood it or not, that is not what Director Ma cares about.

If you didn't understand, that's your business. It's not like he can openly ask everyone with connections to find one.

Since it was just a briefing in advance, Director Ma gave a brief speech, left everyone alone, and returned to the office.
