Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

Chapter 455 The New Secretary, Time Waits for No One

After a long day, I finally got home at night.

Yingzi was so tired she didn't want to move.

It's not physical fatigue, but mainly mental fatigue, the exhaustion that comes from intense mental concentration.

When she was in the ballroom, she represented Yang Jianguo.

Every word and action could potentially be interpreted as 'Yang Jianguo's meaning.'

Therefore, it truly requires maintaining a state of high tension and concentration.

"If it weren't for Xiao'e's help, I really wouldn't have been able to handle it."

Speaking of this, Yingzi suddenly mentioned the scene of dancing in the afternoon.

"The two of you dancing together look quite compatible."

Yang Jianguo boasted, "Who don't I get along with?"

The company has held quite a few dance parties, and Yang Jianguo is considered a skilled dancer.

However, dancing is just dancing; there are no complicated rules.

This is nothing yet; in two years, ballroom dancing will be popular all over the country.

Then came disco, and then 'Sofi Sofi Sofi' in about twenty or thirty years.

It sounds long, but it's actually over in the blink of an eye.

"Yingzi, you should have a talk with Aimin."

Yingzi sat up straight and said seriously, "You noticed too, didn't you?"

Yang Jianguo turned to look at her and said, "You noticed it too."

"This isn't the first time his secretary has done this. There was another one last time, someone who said he was a secretary here."

"Whoa~ What else?"

Yang Jianguo was also dumbfounded. Was this a place where a secretary was assigned?

"It looks like it to me."

Yingzi looked at him with a troubled expression and asked, "Do you think I should tell Li Lan?"

"Aren't you just asking for trouble?"

Yang Jianguo sat down next to him and said, "This matter can only be discussed with Aimin; we can't force it."

"He's not a child anymore; nobody likes to be told what to do."

"You should analyze it with him and help him figure it out."

"If he didn't have all this now, who would be willing to endure hardship with him?"

"Who is his virtuous wife who takes care of everything at home and outside, including his parents?"

"Whose credit is it that he can focus on his career outside?"

"When he remembers how good Li Lan is, he will naturally know what to do."

Yingzi nodded repeatedly, waiting for him to finish speaking.

Suddenly looking up at him with a smile, she said, "You're quite experienced. Do you often do summaries?"

"That's right, my summary is really good."

Yang Jianguo gave a half-smile, but his tone was unusually serious.

You have to express your feelings; if you don't, how can people understand and feel at ease?

Even if he didn't have those thoughts, he still wanted Li Ying to understand this.

That's how a sense of security comes about.

In July, Yang Jianguo was extremely busy.

Ever since he sent the signal in the ballroom, people have been coming to find him like crazy.

If it were just those who showed up on the day, that would be fine.

The key thing is that as soon as the news got out, everyone who knew the ropes and wanted to do something came.

Yang Jianguo accepted all comers.

You think you can do it, but you don't have enough money.

Okay, tell me about your plans, what kind of work do you want to do?

Now, there's a factory like this. How many employees does it have, and what's its situation like?

If the factory is handed over to you, how will you turn it around and make a profit?

They're being cunning and dishonest; they have no plan whatsoever to sell the land or the equipment.

They were simply asked to leave, while the others who genuinely had ideas had made detailed plans and conducted market research.

It's a pity there are so few people like that. Let's stay and have a proper talk.

So far, only two people have caught his eye.

Yang Jianguo spoke with the restructuring team and agreed to a 3:7 share split, meaning he wouldn't gain any advantage.

As long as you can lead the factory forward, you will be a great contributor.

If you want to manipulate things like selling factories, selling land, or playing the game of converting public land to agricultural land, then to private land, and then reselling it.

Yang Jianguo included a clause in the contract that directly sent all the people in his line of work into the company.

You've deliberately misappropriated public assets; go to jail.

I don't need to work hard for the rest of my life. I can just retire as soon as I get out of here. How great is that?

"Clang clang~"

There was a knock on the door, and Yang Jianguo thought it was someone else coming: "Come in."

Wu Mei pushed open the door, followed by a girl.

Upon closer inspection, hey~

Isn't this the girl who asked him for an autograph at the elevator entrance of the ballroom that day?

What was it called again? Yang Jianguo had really forgotten.

The main problem was that I didn't take notes at the time; I was just thinking about how to trick the big shots into spending money!

"Director, this is the new secretary that the office has sent to you."

Han Xi introduced herself in a generous and cheerful manner, saying, "Hello, Director, I am Han Xi. I hope you will take good care of me in my work in the future."

"Hmm." Yang Jianguo nodded, without saying anything else.

He had previously criticized his secretary when he was working with Loongson.

Finally, I realized that what I was doing was wrong.

He is also a good comrade-in-arms of women comrades, and the Women's Federation still occasionally wants to invite him to give lectures.

Yang Jianguo declined all offers, but he couldn't afford to be labeled as discriminating against women.

Yingzi is a key member of the Women's Federation; this won't do.

"Xiao Wu, could you show her around the work process?"

"Let Xiao Tang look at her work logs and learn from them."

Hearing Yang Jianguo's arrangements, Han Xi's smile brightened even more.

She actually got a job in the Ministry of Works and became her idol's secretary.

The fulfillment of realizing her dream made every cell in Han Xi's body leap with joy.

So happy!

"Thank you, Director." Han Xi bowed happily.

Seeing how lively she was, Yang Jianguo said seriously, "Don't be so happy yet, working with me is very tough."

"I'm not afraid."

Han Xi spoke with great certainty, and besides, the leader spends most of his time in the capital.

Even if it's tough, how tough can it get?

But she soon understood what it meant to suffer unspeakably.

"What I need is precise data, what is that?"

Yang Jianguo pointed to the report in front of him, the data of which only went up to 84.

There is not a single word of data for the last two years.

"The statistics department only has data from 84; the data for 85 and 86 hasn't been completed yet."

Han Xi told the truth that she felt this was not her problem.

Then, she witnessed the 'irritable' side that Wu Mei had described.

Is it all over just because there are no statistics?

This sounds like they're deliberately trying to make things difficult, but it really isn't...

At this point, many Dongxi are like this, often unable to find any parameters.

What to do? Whoever needs it should urge them to use it.

Alternatively, you'll have to go out and collect it yourself, instead of just leaving it there and ignoring it.

why?

Because there are too many blank spaces.

There were so many it was unbelievable; it felt as if the place where I was was suddenly covered in 'holes'.

People's lives have improved, but the internal purges within the organization are still ongoing.

There are countless departments and organizations operating at full capacity.

It's not that people are unwilling to do it, it's that there's simply no one.

We can only pick up the most important things and put the rest aside for now.

Otherwise, why would it be so difficult to allocate talent every time?

The leaders would get so angry that they would jump up and slam their fists on the table, and there were vacancies everywhere waiting to be filled.

Urgent! Really urgent!

Take the Ministry of Works for example; six years have passed since then.

Only the office that acts as the "chief steward" is fully staffed; none of the other departments are full.

Yes, there are quite a few young people who have returned to their hometowns.

However, most of these people's knowledge, experience, and vision are no longer keeping up with the times.

They are still immersed in the era of the "iron rice bowl" before the Great Depression of ten years ago.

They're fine for basic work, but definitely not for leadership positions.

That's the situation. Should we continue working?

"I'll give you a week. I don't care what you do, I want to see precise numbers next week."

Yang Jianguo looked up at Han Xi, whose eyes were slightly red, and said seriously, "If you can't do it, you don't need to come."

"Yes."

Han Xi replied angrily, picked up the report, and stormed out.

Seeing her reaction, Yang Jianguo chuckled as the door closed.

That's the spirit we need; having a temper is a good thing.

It shows that they are young and energetic; young people should have passion.
