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

Hearing that Cai Quanwu wanted to resign, Director Ma was speechless for a while, then pointed at him and criticized him with a smile:

"You kid, you usually look pretty smart, how could you have such an idea?"

"You've resigned. If you let your wife in, it's no longer just taking off your pants to fart. It's a waste of time. What's the point of that?"

Director Ma's words seemed to be criticism, but Cai Quanwu knew that he was being pointed at.

However, after Director Ma said this, Cai Quanwu became even more confused.

If he doesn't ask me to resign, then what does Director Ma mean?

"Director, they say that those involved are confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly. I am an involved person, and there are some things I really don't understand. You should just speak frankly."

Cai Quanwu found that his thoughts were not in line with Director Ma's and he could not keep up with his thinking. He stopped trying to guess what Director Ma meant and asked directly.

Seeing that Cai Quanwu asked directly, Director Ma gave a hint:

"Nothing. You don't have to resign just because you want your wife to work here."

"We can find some workarounds. The food system is so big, you can work somewhere else."

"Director Chu admired you very much last time and even said that he wanted you to work in the institute."

After Director Ma's guidance, Cai Quanwu instantly understood what Director Ma meant.

Last time, Director Chu intended to transfer him to the institute, but Director Ma stopped him at that time. In addition, Cai Quanwu really had no idea, so the matter was never followed up.

Now Director Ma brought up the old matter again, wanting Cai Quanwu to go to work in the institute, so that a position will be vacant in the grain store, and Guan Jiaqi's work will be easier to arrange.

As for why Director Ma stopped it last time but brought it up again now, Cai Quanwu was a little confused.

I guess Guan Jiaqi came to the grain store to work, and if the grain store found him about something, it would be difficult for him to refuse.

After thinking about Director Ma's advice, Cai Quanwu expressed his concerns:

"Director, the director mentioned it at the time, but it's been so long now, the director may not remember it."

Director Ma naturally took into account Cai Quanwu's concerns, and he explained with a smile:

"Haha, since I'm talking to you about this, I must be sure of it."

"I went to the director a few days ago to ask about the broken fan. The director asked me what I was doing there, so I told him about the simple fan you put together using the broken fan motor."

"When Director Chu heard this, he immediately asked if it was the young man who got the wild boar. After getting confirmation, he praised you for your intelligence."

"This shows that Director Chu is still very impressed with you."

After Director Ma finished speaking, he threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground, waiting to see Cai Quanwu's reaction.

He couldn't think of any reason why Cai Quan would refuse.

Sometimes Director Ma envied Cai Quanwu's luck.

It is not easy to make a leader remember.

Leaders are also human beings. When they have a particularly good impression of someone, it also means there is an opportunity for rapid success. It depends on whether you can seize it.

When promoting subordinates, if leaders don’t give priority to those who make a good impression, will they promote those who make a bad impression?

Take himself for example. There were so many people in the grain store, so why did he only tell Cai Quanwu about this in advance?

One is that Cai Quanwu is a sensible person, and the other is that he is pleasing to the eye.

Otherwise, he wouldn't bother with these trivial matters.

After listening to what Director Ma said, Cai Quanwu thought about it for a while, and then he made up his mind and said to Director Ma:

"Director, just tell me how to operate it. I will follow your instructions."

Seeing that Cai Quanwu was determined so quickly, Director Ma nodded, thought for a while and said:

"Well, you should have dinner early today, and come to my house after dinner. I will take you to visit Director Chu privately and hear what he has to say."

"okay."

"I'll be ready when I get back."

After Director Ma said this, Cai Quanwu understood what to do.

"Okay, as long as you understand."

Seeing that Cai Quanwu reacted quickly, Director Ma stood up, patted Cai Quanwu on the shoulder, and said with a smile.

For Cai Quanwu, Director Ma's words to this extent were truly sincere.

After Director Ma left, Cai Quanwu started thinking about what to bring when he visited Director Chu's home in the evening.

It's definitely not possible to take money.

This is a big no-no.

Besides, Director Chu is not short of money.

Of course, not being short of money doesn’t mean you’re not short of anything else.

In an era of material shortages, even if you have money you may not be able to buy anything.

Although leaders are treated better than ordinary people, it is still not easy to get some good things.

Especially at the feet of the emperor, Director Chu's position is not considered high and powerful.

Thinking of this, Cai Quanwu wondered in his mind which things in the rental house he could take out without revealing any flaws.

And two gifts have to be prepared. Director Ma has tried so hard, so he has to prepare one as well.

This is the first time I’ve visited Director Chu, so the gifts cannot be too expensive.

If it’s too expensive, the taste will change, and people may not accept it.

It can't be too expensive, but it has to be memorable, which is very important.

Ever since Director Ma left, Cai Quanwu has been thinking about this issue, even while having lunch.

It lasted until the bell rang...

……

"I'm done eating, you guys take your time. I'm leaving first. I have something to do later."

At the dinner table, Cai Quanwu ate a little casually, then said hello to everyone and prepared to go to Director Ma's house first.

As soon as Cai Quan finished speaking, everyone put down their chopsticks and looked at him.

It's no wonder that everyone had this expression. Cai Quanwu basically doesn't go out at night on weekdays. Today he suddenly said he had something to do outside, which naturally aroused everyone's curiosity.

"What's the matter that must be done at night?"

After staring at it for a while, Guan Jiaqi finally asked out the question that everyone was wondering about.

"Haha, good news."

"Okay, let's talk when I get back. I might be back late today. If you're sleepy, go to bed early."

Cai Quanwu smiled, stopped everyone from asking further questions, gave Guan Jiaqi some instructions, then stood up and left.

After returning home, Cai Quanwu went to the bedroom to take out the gifts he had prepared after get off work, put them in a bag, and pushed his bicycle out of the yard.

It was dinner time and everyone was basically eating at home. Until Cai Quanwu pushed his bicycle out of the courtyard, he didn't see anyone.

This saves Cai Quanwu a lot of trouble.

In July, it gets dark later.

When Cai Quanwu left the courtyard, it was still bright.

Cai Quanwu had been to Director Ma's house several times. He rode his bicycle and rushed straight to Director Ma's house.

Cai Quanwu arrived outside Director Ma's house, parked his bicycle, took out the gift for Director Ma, and walked into the yard.

When Cai Quanwu arrived at Director Ma's house, he found that Director Ma's family was having dinner.

Seeing someone coming, Director Ma and his family stood up.

This is basic etiquette. When guests arrive, if the whole family sits there without moving, the guests will think you don't welcome them.

"Quan Wu is here. Have you eaten?"

"Look at you, you just came here, why are you taking things again?"

Seeing Cai Quanwu coming with something in his hand, Director Ma first greeted him and then exchanged some pleasantries.

"Director, I've already eaten. Don't worry about me. You guys eat."

Cai Quanwu walked in, found a place to put down the things he brought, and exchanged greetings with Director Ma.

Director Ma knew the purpose of Cai Quanwu's visit, so he didn't say anything polite and asked someone to pour Cai Quanwu a glass of water:

"Okay then, no problem. Have a drink of water and wait for me. I'll be done eating soon."
