Chapter 322: Extremely Careful Arrangements
Worked as a secretary for a few days.
Chu Yang had adapted quite a bit to his position and environment, and was finally able to control his emotions to do all this.
The death of Fan Zhesi in Buhai City also gave Chu Yang a new understanding of workplace struggles.
Understand that in the competition for high positions and in the struggle for interests, it is no longer just about the petty quarrels below, where you scold me and I glare at you, or you tell tales behind my back.
The current struggle will really result in death.
Very scary.
Of course, after working for a few days, Chu Yang became more familiar with Director Li's habits and the people around him. In the company, Director Zhang Shuyu of the Office, Director Wang Yusheng of the Human Resources Department, and Director Zeng Fan of the Biotechnology Department are Director Li's right-hand men.
The three of them are closest to Director Li. Normally, when they come to see Director Li, they don’t even need to greet Chu Yang and can go in directly. Director Li won’t say anything. As for the board of directors, Director Li’s power seems to be evenly matched with Director Liu’s.
However, Chu Yang has not yet seen whether the two sides have any trump cards.
Usually, both sides have their own secret weapons for this kind of thing.
In addition to the situation within the company, among the many construction units.
Mr. Li was particularly fond of Seiko Electric Power Co., Ltd. Many of the company's large projects were taken over by their Seiko Group. Mr. Luo Jing, the general manager of Seiko Group, also often invited Mr. Li to dinner.
It is nonsense to say that Mr. Li sometimes attends and sometimes does not.
Luo Jing looked fearless and sat on Director Li's lap several times. Director Li was really as still as a mountain and very steady. As far as Chu Yang could see, Director Li had never done anything beyond the rules.
This made Chu Yang admire him very much.
This man has really strong self-control. You know, although Seiko's boss Luo Jing is in his thirties, he has been well maintained and looks like an eighteen-year-old. And his butt is as big as a big round hat. There are really few people who can resist it.
If it were Mr. Xie, he would have made his dirty moves long ago, and the situation would probably be very chaotic.
Maybe there is nothing left of this woman.
Today, Chu Yang went to inspect a substation project with Director Li. While Director Li was scolding the workers in front, Mr. Luo secretly took out a black object and stuffed it into Chu Yang's pocket.
"Um, Secretary Chu, I found an old inkstone when I was browsing in an antique shop last time. It looks pretty good. I think Mr. Li likes writing a lot, right? I think he might be able to use it."
How could Chu Yang dare to accept gifts for Director Li? He quickly shook his head and said, "Boss Luo, you know, Director Li doesn't allow me to accept anything." Chu Yang actually couldn't figure out what Director Li was like. Normally, he wouldn't accept gifts, but sometimes he would. It depended on the person and the gift.
Mr. Luo did not force it, but when it was time to eat, everyone went to a private room in a nearby restaurant to wait for the meal. There happened to be a set of four treasures of the study next door. Chu Yang saw that the inkstone was placed there, which was particularly eye-catching.
Haha, it really is omnipresent.
This method is quite novel.
Logically speaking, this Chinese-style restaurant should not have such incompatible things, but because Mr. Li came, it has a necessity to exist.
As expected, as soon as Mr. Li saw these things, he immediately became interested and walked forward to take a closer look.
I saw the old inkstone at first sight and looked at it over and over again.
The inkstone was shaped according to the object, and it was antique and natural. Chu Yang felt that it was not an ordinary thing, let alone someone who knew about it. Director Li couldn't help but pick it up carefully and praised: "There is actually a top-quality Duan inkstone here, it's really good."
Mr. Luo immediately approached Ali, puffed out his chest, and said respectfully: "Haha, I've heard that Mr. Li is a master of calligraphy. It turns out that there are such good pens and ink here. Why don't you write a few words for us to watch."
"This is not good. Can you write on this?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Li, this is for writing for guests."
"Then I will show you how ugly you are." Mr. Li really couldn't stand it, so he immediately picked up his brush and wrote four big characters: "Dragon and Horse Spirit". After putting down the brush, he looked at everyone and waited for everyone's praise.
Mr. Luo immediately clapped his hands and said, "Mr. Li, I don't have any artistic talent, but I think your handwriting is so beautiful that it makes people feel refreshed at a glance."
This is really nothing to brag about.
At this time, Liang Jinrong, the owner of the restaurant, came out and looked at the calligraphy and kept flattering and praising it: "What a good calligraphy, it is truly the style of a great master. I wonder if Mr. Li can give me this writing brush and ink. How about I use these four treasures of the study as collateral?"
Hehe, damn, Mr. Li's handwriting is pretty good. You said he has the style of a great master of the time. Aren't you flattering him too much?
At this time, Luo Jing said, "Boss Liang, you are too shrewd. How can your shoddy study treasures be exchanged for the writing brush and ink of our CEO Li? I think today's meal should be free."
Boss Liang laughed: "Oh, Mr. Luo, you are such a beautiful lady, now that you have spoken, why not let me treat you? Mr. Li, I really like your calligraphy, how about you give me one of yours, and I will give you two bottles of the best Maotai?"
Chu Yang watched the two of them singing the same tune, their acting was really good. They really put a lot of effort into getting Director Li to accept the inkstone, but their strategy worked. Director Li really liked this old inkstone and agreed.
It seems that we should not underestimate the effect of flattery.
Today is Friday. When it was almost time to get off work, Director Li said to Chu Yang, "Go and tell Director Zhang to cancel all the arrangements for next week. I plan to go for a walk downstairs."
This is an extremely important arrangement.
Chu Yang immediately went to inform Zhang Shuyu. After listening to him, Minister Zhang frowned and said in a somewhat confused manner, "Where does Director Li plan to go, when will he go, who will he take with him, and what does he want to see? Do you know?"
Chu Yang shook his head: "Mr. Li didn't say these things, he just said to go down and see, and asked you to cancel all arrangements."
Zhang Shuyu didn't feel well, so he immediately turned around and went to Director Li's office and asked, "Director Li, where are you going next week? What do you want to see? I'll prepare in advance, otherwise I'm afraid it will delay your trip."
Mr. Li replied without changing his expression, "There is no fixed location for now. I will think about where to go over the weekend. I will probably visit two or three cities to inspect and take a look."
Zhang Shuyu: "How many people will come with us? Which car will we take?"
Director Li: "Don't bring too many people. Keep the group small. It's best not to have more than three cars. It will be difficult to operate if there are too many. You can discuss with Chu Yang about who will go and the time."
Zhang Shuyu: "Okay, then Secretary Chu, come over here and I'll discuss this with you."
Chu Yang followed Minister Zhang's big butt to her office.
Zhang Shuyu put down the notebook and took out a calendar, which was full of various symbols. It was what the director did every day, all written in detail. She was worthy of being the housekeeper of Aiguoli Company. It was indeed not just her big butt, she also had her outstanding qualities.
She looked at the schedule and said with a helpless smile: "Chu Yang, Director Li has a lot of arrangements next week. I'm in trouble. I don't know how to explain it to others. Do you know why Director Li suddenly wants to go down and take a look?"
Chu Yang probably thought about the question about the report letter, but still answered: "I really don't know about this. Director Li didn't tell me."
Zhang Shuyu sighed and let out a breath that was stuck in his chest: "Okay, then let's set a time. How about we set off on time from the company's main entrance at 10 o'clock next Monday? You can arrange a car right away."
“Okay, sure.” Chu Yang had already taken out his notebook and was writing on it. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen.
Zhang Shuyu was very satisfied with Chu Yang's behavior and continued, "Let's plan the itinerary first. Our first stop is Gejiang City. There are beautiful mountains and rivers there, and there is also a sanatorium in our company. We will stay there tonight."
Chu Yang was a little confused: "Minister Zhang, have we decided on this itinerary? Will Director Li disagree?"
Zhang Shuyu said: "This usually won't happen unless Director Li really has other ideas, don't worry."
Chu Yang was stunned again, not understanding why Minister Zhang was so confident.
Zhang Shuyu quickly arranged the itinerary for the week. Chu Yang took notes and wondered if Mr. Li would change the itinerary.
Chu Yang finally asked: "Well, how do we arrange our personnel?"
Zhang Shuyu: "Let's stick to the old rules. I must go. Considering that we may need to organize materials, Comrade Xiao Zhou must go. Usually, we may need one more person, but you are enough. In addition, there must be people from the Biotechnology Department, Infrastructure Department, and Safety Supervision Department. It would be best if each department sends two people. They can decide who they are. The Organization Department must also send two people. Videography is still very important. Oh, and ask the Security Department to send two security guards, just in case."
Chu Yang counted how many people there were. Damn, this wasn't the emperor touring Jiangnan, was it necessary? He replied, "Minister Zhang, aren't there too many people? Director Li said no more than three cars, so this probably won't fit."
Zhang Shuyu: "It's OK, just drive two SUVs and finally a minibus."
Chu Yang was speechless. You might as well drive a bus and have hundreds of people from the company go down and have fun together. But it seems that there is nothing wrong with this arrangement, because you can't say who is not needed, and everyone is important.
I am really impressed.
