Chapter 77: The Foundation of a Big Company
Abnormal things happen all the time, and there are especially many this year.
In the afternoon, the office actually issued an order, requiring all departments to do a general cleaning, clear out the debris and waste on their desks, mop the floor, clean the air conditioner, wash underwear... Not only that, a welcome banner was hung at the company's gate that read "Warmly welcome the city leaders to come and guide our work."
The tables in the cafeteria were decorated with colorful flowers and plants, making it feel like Chinese New Year.
All aspects were taken into consideration without any omission. The company might not have done well in other aspects, but no one dared to say a word about the inspection preparation work, which was absolutely done in place and no effort was spared.
Chu Yang was a little moved after seeing this. Even after entering the society, he could still experience this kind of unity where everyone works together and strives for one goal. The Aiguo Electric Power Company is indeed the leading enterprise in the power industry and has the solid foundation of a large company.
That’s not all.
When we got off work this afternoon, Director Pang from the office actually ordered all department employees to wait at their posts and not leave. Damn, this is too much and overstepping the boundaries. How can you, an office director, be in charge of the affairs of our Safety Supervision Department?
Chu Yang almost called the police, as he still had to go give Huang Ling extra lessons. If he didn't go she would start crying and pounding her chest.
Chu Yang wondered what Director Pang was going to do, but who knew that he was going to visit various departments with a few specialists, treating himself as the inspection leader and checking each department in advance to avoid any mistakes or omissions tomorrow.
My goodness, these people are so scary, they are so damn serious about their work, no wonder Aiguxi Electric Power Company is one of the Fortune 500 companies, it is absolutely inseparable from their serious and responsible attitude.
Their inspection is not just for show; they are more serious than their superiors and point out some shortcomings and problems in various departments.
Chu Yang was also criticized by them, saying that there were too many junk on his desk, making it look messy and unaesthetic. This is not an exhibition, so what aesthetics do I need? What's even more outrageous is that irrelevant books are not allowed to be placed there and must be put away.
Haha, it’s really interesting. The science fiction masterpiece "The Three-Body Problem" written by the power tycoon Liu Cixin has become an insignificant and messy book in their eyes. In the end, Chu Yang could only stuff it into the storage cabinet below and seal it permanently.
The reason why there is a lack of talented people in Chinese science fiction is closely related to people like them.
Aren’t the leaders of the Municipal Bureau coming over for a visit tomorrow? It’s just a simple inspection, not a ranking or comparison. Is it necessary to be so attentive and make such a big fuss?
Chu Yang is indeed short-sighted and lacks perspective.
After Director Pang finished his inspection, Chu Yang couldn't help but grumble, "This is just formalism. What's the point?"
Comrade Xiao Bo laughed and said, "Chu Yang, your vision is still low. In many cases, formalism is the real doctrine. You can be bad in other aspects, but you must be presentable in terms of appearance. When others come to your home as guests, you have to sweep the floor. This is our typical way of entertaining guests."
Boy, that makes a lot of sense.
The next day, the superior inspection team arrived.
It was a team led by Vice President Liang of the municipal company. It was huge, with six people in one car. Vice President Liang wore a pair of black-framed glasses, no, it was the eye sockets, without lenses. I don't know why he bothered with that. Isn't it tiring?
He was a man of swift and decisive actions. After he arrived, he didn't drink tea or exchange pleasantries, but started the inspection work directly. Chu Yang liked such people very much. The inspection work started in full swing and was unstoppable.
Chu Yang was very conflicted and nervous in the department. He hoped that the leaders would come to inspect his department, but he also didn't want them to come to inspect his department.
I hope they come because I have stupidly spent three days preparing. If they don’t come, all my efforts will be in vain, and I will feel that I have wasted three days of my life.
But I was afraid of finding problems during the examination. After all, there were too many problems. Damn, by then Director Liu would probably be in a bloody storm again, and I would die miserably.
While Chu Yang was struggling, the inspection team, accompanied by President Chu and President Xie, had already left the company, chatting and laughing, and went directly to Jubao Sheep Manor for a banquet. They would probably play two rounds of Pai Gow before the banquet. It was said that Vice President Liang of the municipal company liked this game, and the stakes were not high, about fifty or one hundred, just for fun, and no women were wanted.
Chu Yang just smiled bitterly when he heard the news.
In the evening, Chu Yang simply washed up and rode his electric bike to Huang Shi’s home to give Huang Ling extra lessons.
Mayor Huang had called to urge him just now, so Chu Yang drove a little faster today. Who knew that there was a traffic police checking cars at the red light ahead? When Chu Yang found out, it was too late to turn around.
It wasn't too late. He had a lucky feeling in his heart, thinking that this was an electric car and there was nothing wrong with it. Chu Yang's electric car was not registered, and in 2011, traffic police generally did not catch electric cars.
But when Chu Yang was waiting for the red light, two traffic police officers came to his door very quickly. One of them pulled out his car key rudely, and the other one seemed to be afraid that he would run away, so he pressed his shoulder and yelled, "Pull over."
His tone was so fierce that it caused great harm to his little heart.
Chu Yang asked weakly: "Um, traffic police uncle, my car is an electric car, so I don't need to register it, right?"
The two traffic police ignored him and dragged him away. They first brutally asked him to show his ID, and then directly issued a ticket. When signing, Chu Yang still asked unconvincedly: "Don't electric vehicles need to be registered now? Why do I have a problem?"
A traffic policeman finally explained impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense. The displacement of your car exceeds XX. It cannot be considered an electric car. Now I want to confiscate your car. You are not the first one. The same applies to others."
There is also this saying. Just when Chu Yang was helpless, Comrade Huang Shi called again. Chu Yang stammered that his electric bike was confiscated. Then Comrade Huang Shi asked where it was confiscated. Chu Yang replied: "At the red light on Lianhua Road."
Comrade Huang Shi asked Chu Yang to wait a moment. After a while, the comrade who had detained Chu Yang's car received a call.
"Hey, Chief Niu, what's up?"
"I heard that you seized a car called Chu Yang?"
"Chu Yang, let me see. Yes, Director Niu. He was just confiscated. His car is not registered."
"Let him go quickly. He was driving an electric car. It's no problem if he doesn't have a license plate."
"Director Niu, didn't you say that if the displacement exceeds a certain amount..."
"Don't talk nonsense. I'll let you go."
“Yes, yes, yes…” After hanging up the phone, the comrade personally pushed the car to Chu Yang and said politely, “Well, your car is fine, drive away quickly.”
Chu Yang was not surprised at all and got in the car and left. Before leaving, Chu Yang clearly heard someone yelling next to him: "Why shouldn't he be punished? My retreat is the same as his, so I have to be punished?"
The traffic policeman said rudely: "Because he is lucky."
Chu Yang didn't know what to feel in his heart.
In this world, truth lies in the hands of those in power, just like the question of whether Chu Yang's electric car needs to be registered. Generally speaking, electric cars do not need to be registered, but if someone makes it serious and says that if the displacement exceeds a certain value, it is no longer an electric car, then you can't do anything about it, as others have the final say.
This is the space for others to operate, and this space is too large.
Arriving at Comrade Huang Shi's house, Chu Yang expressed his gratitude politely. Comrade Huang Shi didn't say anything , but asked him to drive more carefully in the future and to go and tutor his daughter as soon as possible.
Huang Ling is smart but rebellious. She never listens to her parents and is always throwing tantrums. But in front of Chu Yang, she is completely obedient. Maybe it's because Chu Yang really spanks her. It's just so magical.
Comrade Huang Shi also liked Chu Yang more and more. After all, ever since Huang Ling received Chu Yang's instruction, she had changed her boyish personality, slowly immersed herself in the study, and turned from a crazy girl into a real girl.
In the heart of the little girl Huang Ling, Chu Yang's appearance brought about a huge change in her body. Her figure became better and better, and she also hid a deep secret in her heart. That secret might be called the love of a girl.
In her world, she may not know what love is. She only knows that she likes Brother Chu Yang very much and does not want to disappoint this Brother Chu Yang. She only wants to teach Chu Yang, only wants to act like a spoiled child with Chu Yang, and only wants to spank Chu Yang...
