Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

"Well... well, I'm just giving Director Li face." The section chief's wife thought it through and smiled at Li Dongfang, saying, "Look, this mess in our family has wasted Director Li's precious time. Well... I won't bother you anymore and will leave first."

After seeing his wife leave, the head of the personnel department heaved a sigh of relief and said to Li Dongfang gratefully: "Director Li, I really... made a fool of myself."

Li Dongfang smiled and said, "Section Chief, you are my old leader. It would be a bit awkward to say that."

The head of the personnel department also had a look of emotion on his face. When Li Dongfang was suddenly promoted to deputy head of the personnel department, he thought that this was a person with great connections. Unexpectedly, in just a short period of time, he became the deputy factory director based on his abilities, and was also a hot figure in the entire Ministry of Industry.

Although the personnel chief did not know what project Li Dongfang was in charge of now, he knew from the factory's attitude that it was definitely not a simple one. Moreover, the level of confidentiality and attention from the superiors were unprecedented since the factory was built. Based on these points, how could the personnel chief not see that this deputy factory director would probably be promoted again at any time?

His inner feelings did not stop him from speaking, "It's unbelievable. You are a leader now, and you are so upset about this little thing."

When Li Dongfang heard this, he remembered the reason why he came here, so he said, "Isn't this a coincidence? I came to ask my old leader for help today. I wonder if he can help me."

The head of the personnel department quickly said, "Look at what you said. You are the leader. If there is anything, just give orders. There is no such thing as asking for anything."

Hearing this, Li Dongfang stopped being polite and said directly: "Here's the thing. I have a friend who was supposed to work in our factory this year, but...something went wrong. So I came to see if we can still recruit someone specially?"

When the head of the personnel department heard about the accident, he was also shocked. What was the cause of the accident? If it was his friend's own accident, it would be fine. But if it was caused by some people in the factory, then it would be difficult for that person to get away with it.

"Director Li, can you tell me your friend's name? I'll have someone check it out." The head of the personnel department asked carefully.

"Yu Li." Li Dongfang directly spit out a name.

The head of the personnel section immediately went to find someone to check the information, and soon someone came to report. The person who checked the information whispered in the head of the personnel section's ear about the matter, and sure enough, the problem was in the factory. The head of the personnel section cursed in his heart, "You damn Guo Dapie, you have used up your own quota to enter the factory, so just wait for the next time. You are directly blocking other people's quotas, and you are implicating me as well."

"Director Li, I just found out about this today. It's my responsibility..." the head of the personnel department said somewhat embarrassedly.

Li Dongfang interrupted him directly, "I know about this matter, it has nothing to do with you, don't worry."

"Don't worry, I just checked. Our factory is increasing production and we need people in all positions. Your friend can come into the factory at any time." The head of the personnel department immediately said that there was no problem.

"Well... my friend is a female comrade. Which position do you recommend for her?" Li Dongfang heard that there were many positions and he didn't know which one would be better. He might as well ask the professional personnel section chief to recommend one.

"Director Li, if we talk about easy positions, they have to be under your management, especially the logistics area." The head of the personnel section said with a smile.

Li Dongfang also reacted after hearing it. Indeed, logistics warehouses, procurement, and medical care are not places where heavy physical work is done.

The head of the personnel department saw that Li Dongfang seemed to have remembered, so he continued, "Director Li, you can just have someone tell us about the work quota. You have three vacancies for the mid-year recruitment, but you are often away. The people below have looked for you several times but didn't see you. Isn't this a delay?"

Li Dongfang then remembered that leaders all have special treatment. He had a quota when he was a deputy section chief, and it was obvious that he could not be without one for the position of deputy factory director. He really had forgotten about this.

"Hey, I really forgot. OK, then I'll trouble you. I'll have someone report in these few days and arrange it to...the logistics warehouse." Li Dongfang said, slapping his forehead.

"You are a very busy man now, so it is understandable that you forget such a small matter. Don't worry, I will arrange it right away and you can just ask someone to come over directly." The head of the personnel section patted his chest and promised that he would arrange everything properly.

After the matter was settled, Li Dongfang said goodbye and left.

Originally, when encountering this matter, Li Dongfang could have used it to control the head of the personnel department and made him switch to his side without any problem. However, he and Director Yang were still in the honeymoon period, so he did not have such an idea. After all, Director Yang had been taking good care of him since he joined the factory. Even when he was suppressed by Minister Duan, Director Yang did not do anything excessive.

After returning to the office, thinking that Yu Li's problem had been solved, it seemed that he had not returned to the courtyard for the past few days and seemed to have forgotten about Ran Qiuye. However, Sha Zhu did not mention this matter at noon. Maybe her family had not finished eating the food I gave to Ran Qiuye last time. In any case, he had to prepare the portion for her family when he went there in the evening.

When there are too many people around, some will be neglected. I haven't been intimate with Duan Jingya for a while recently. When I think about it, I really miss her. How about letting her live with Lou Xiao'e and the others?

I think Lou Xiao'e's idea is not bad. If I see him/her often, I won't forget him/her, and then I will have to explain again.

I felt a little ridiculous, but then I thought, I have traveled through time. If I were to be like an ordinary person, then my journey would have been in vain. I must live a life that is free and wonderful.

Shaking his head to put aside the messy thoughts, Li Dongfang continued to devote himself to technical research, and wrote down some of his own experiences. When the experiment was successful, he handed these things over to the specialized department to continue the research and complete the subsequent mass production, saving himself the trouble of always giving explanations.

In a blink of an eye, it was time to get off work. Li Dongfang thought about it and decided to go home and have dinner with Qin Huairu and the others. As for Sha Zhu, it would be okay to have one more meal with him.

After dinner, Li Dongfang played with the children for a while before telling them that he had something to do outside and might not be back until a certain time, so they didn't need to wait for him. Then he took Lin Shu out.

After pretending to move some things from the cellar into the car, the two set off for the courtyard.

When Li Dongfang arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he saw Sha Zhu moving a bench and sitting at the gate looking around. Seeing his eager look, Li Dongfang felt a little funny. He got out of the car and waved to Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu stood up immediately and ran over with a big grin.
