Chapter 824: Moving to Survive
"As long as you have this idea, don't worry about it. I have a way." Song Yuanchao suddenly said this. Pan Xiangdong was stunned and looked at him in confusion.
"I have no connections in Sichuan Province, but if you are willing to work in Chao County, I can arrange it."
"Chao County?" Pan Xiangdong thought for a moment and asked, "Is it the Chao County under Shanghai?"
"Yes! That's it!"
"Do you have any connections there?" Pan Xiangdong couldn't help but ask.
Although Pan Xiangdong appears calm on the surface, he actually knows that his future in the Social Science Federation is bleak. As a graduate of the Imperial University, Pan Xiangdong is a child of destiny in this era. He chose to work in the government because he really wanted to do something to realize his ideals and values.
But the facts gave Pan Xiangdong a blow. Due to different ideas and understandings, he was kicked out of the Commission Office and ended up sitting on the bench at . This fall was not a light one. If Song Yuanchao hadn't said this today, perhaps Pan Xiangdong would have accepted his fate.
Ten or twenty years later, Pan Xiangdong will probably continue to work in the Social Science Federation, and work hard to gain seniority and finally get a position as deputy director or even director before retirement. But even so, the passion he had when he was young would have long since cooled, and his ambitions would have become a thing of the past, and he would eventually become just an ordinary cadre living a mediocre life.
But what else could he do? Pan Xiangdong was just a child from an ordinary family. Apart from being a college student, he had no hard resources or background to rely on. Even if he wanted to jump out of the quagmire of the Social Science Association, it was impossible.
As for working in a company, Pan Xiangdong actually considered it, but he knew that he had no experience in the business world, and he did not think he had the business capabilities of Song Yuanchao, Sun Yaoliang, or even Zhang Jian. So after thinking it over, Pan Xiangdong finally accepted his fate. He only hoped that as time went by, the leaders above him would change their minds, or they would be replaced by capable and enterprising leaders, and then he would have a chance to climb back up.
However, the possibilities of these are really too small. When you put your fate in the hands of others, no one knows how much control you have in the end.
Now, Song Yuanchao suddenly asked him if he was willing to work in Chao County. Hope suddenly arose in Pan Xiangdong's heart. If Song Yuanchao could really transfer him from his current unit to Chao County, it might be a rare opportunity for him.
"We are not outsiders, so I will tell you the truth. I have a relative who works in Chao County..." Song Yuanchao did not hide anything and directly told about Lin Jianhang's situation. When he learned that Lin Jianhang was the second-in-command of Chao County, and that Chao County was currently making drastic efforts to attract investment and develop the local economy and was in urgent need of talent, Pan Xiangdong's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Old Pan, if you are willing to go to Chao County, I will help you arrange this." Song Yuanchao said confidently, "But there is one thing I need to make clear to you in advance. You are now a section chief. I am afraid that you may not be able to get a section chief position if you go to Chao County, but I can guarantee that you will definitely get a deputy section chief position. As for the division of work and other aspects, I will make specific arrangements at that time, but I will definitely not let you suffer any loss. In addition, your wife and children can also go with you. The transfer of household registration, work arrangements, and schooling can all be solved. How about it? Would you consider it?"
Hearing this, Pan Xiangdong was suddenly moved.
Although Chao County is not a big city, it is located in the coastal area, which is much better than Sichuan Province. Moreover, Song Yuanchao directly told him that if he went to Chao County, he could not only arrange his work, but also his wife and children, which was much better than staying in the Social Science Association.
More importantly, after going to Chao County, Pan Xiangdong can jump out of the Social Science Federation and realize his ambitions. He doesn't care about the rank. He was originally a deputy section chief in the Commission Office, and later went to the Social Science Federation to be promoted to a full section chief. To put it bluntly, it was actually a promotion in name only. Now he has the opportunity to go to Chao County, which he never thought of. How can he give it up?
"Thank you, Yuanchao. I'll offer you a glass of tea instead of wine." Pan Xiangdong was not the kind of person who would fuss. After thinking it through, he made a decision in his mind. He picked up the teacup in front of him and said so to Song Yuanchao, then raised his hand and drank the tea.
"Okay, I will arrange this after the National Day. Please take some time to write a detailed introduction of your own personal information for me. As for the rest, don't worry about it. Just wait patiently for the transfer order." Song Yuanchao said to Pan Xiangdong confidently. Pan Xiangdong nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face.
"This is a good thing!" Cheng Mengshan was equally happy: "Come on! Let's have a drink together. I wish Lao Pan a bright future after taking a step back!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Let's all wish Old Pan a happy birthday!" Sun Yaoliang and others said at the same time, and everyone showed joy.
The matter of Lao Pan was just an episode. After resolving this matter, everyone continued to chat and laugh. At noon, they went to the restaurant together. The restaurant had already arranged a banquet. Everyone would not go home until they were drunk at noon. In the evening, they would do their own things . Because Lu Jun was getting married tomorrow, they couldn't get the groom drunk in advance, right? Otherwise, it would be bad to delay his big day tomorrow.
The drinking session lasted from noon until about three in the afternoon. Everyone was so happy that they drank to their heart's content. Even Song Yuanchao got a little drunk, but the drunkest one was Pan Xiangdong.
Perhaps it was because Pan Xiangdongbei had been sitting on the bench at the Social Science Association for more than a year, which made him feel unhappy, and today, because of Song Yuanchao, he suddenly saw hope again. The change in mood also made Pan Xiangdong's heart knot open, so he drank a few more glasses.
Lu Jun left first, as he was the main character tomorrow and had to go back early. Sun Yaoliang and Cheng Mengshan hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they went upstairs to drink tea and chat. Song Yuanchao helped Zhang Jian to lift up Pan Xiangdong, who was a little tired, and finally sent him back to his room. After putting Pan Xiangdong to bed and watching him sleeping soundly, Song Yuanchao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Third brother, are you okay?"
"fine."
"If you have nothing to do, come to my room and sit for a while?" Zhang Jian said.
Song Yuanchao nodded in agreement, and the two left Pan Xiangdong's room and went out to Zhang Jian's room opposite.
After entering the room, Song Yuanchao went to the bathroom to wash his face and wiped off the sweat he had just exuded while helping Pan Xiangdong back. After he was done, he walked out feeling refreshed.
Zhang Jian made two cups of strong tea, pointed at the sofa and went to the bathroom to clean up. When he came out a while later, Song Yuanchao was already sitting there drinking tea.
"Is there something you want to talk to me about?" Zhang Jian was not a stranger, they were all old classmates, Song Yuanchao asked directly.
"Something's up." Zhang Jian nodded, sat down, took the cigarette handed to him by Song Yuanchao and lit it: "I'm ready to resign..."
"Resign?" Song Yuanchao was stunned. Zhang Jian had been laughing since they met today, and it was impossible to tell that he had any thoughts. Besides, Zhang Jian's job was pretty good. He was a leader in a machinery factory in Sichuan Province. This machinery factory was a large state-owned enterprise. Zhang Jian had worked in the machinery factory before he took the college entrance examination, and he was a good and skilled mechanic.
Zhang Jian is well-educated and has practical work experience and skills, so he does very well in the factory. Now he is the deputy factory director in charge of production. If nothing unexpected happens, with Zhang Jian's ability and current position, there will be no problem for him to take over as factory director or be transferred to the Industrial Bureau in the future.
Earlier in Pan Xiangdong's room, Zhang Jian suddenly asked Song Yuanchao if he had anything to do and invited him to sit in his room. Song Yuanchao knew that Zhang Jian must have something to talk to him about. But he never expected that Zhang Jian would say that he was going to resign right away. You know, Zhang Jian was doing well in the company, so why did he suddenly want to resign?
Seeing Song Yuanchao looking at him with an inquiring look, Zhang Jian smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong. I'm different from Lao Pan. He made things difficult for me. I didn't resign for this reason. I just felt it was boring to continue working in the company."
Zhang Jian told Song Yuanchao about his story. As he spoke, Song Yuanchao understood what Zhang Jian was thinking.
Zhang Jian works for a state-owned enterprise which is not small in scale. Now Zhang Jian is also the factory leader. From outsiders' perspective, Zhang Jian is doing very well. He has a position and a bright future.
But Zhang Jian felt that working in the factory was boring, especially in recent years, he saw that the factory was still doing the same old things, and this could not go on. Zhang Jian also discussed this with his leader in private, but the leader was very conservative, thinking that since they could survive, there was no need to make any reforms, and the leader was not young anymore, so it was better to stay still than to move, and to wait until retirement was a victory.
The leader told Zhang Jian that his idea was good, but it was not suitable for the factory. Stability was everything. After he retired, Zhang Jian would take over and become the factory director. It would not be too late to do it. Young people cannot eat hot tofu in a hurry. They need to be patient.
In fact, the boss was very good to Zhang Jian, both at work and in personal relationship, but the difference in philosophy made Zhang Jian feel that there was no future in staying in the unit. Besides, Zhang Jian was different from Pan Xiangdong, he didn't like the pace of the government unit, and would rather do something that interested him.
In this way, Zhang Jian had the idea of leaving the factory. In Zhang Jian's opinion, there are many people who run private enterprises in society now, and even self-employed people can be successful. Moreover, there are successful people like Song Yuanchao and Sun Yaoliang among his old classmates.
Especially Song Yuanchao, he is now the chairman of Si Te. Si Te is currently very famous in China. They are all classmates. If Song Yuanchao and Sun Yaoliang can succeed, it is impossible that Zhang Jian cannot succeed.
"The company is dead silent. If I just hang in there, it's fine. I might be the factory director after a few more years when my old boss retires. But even if I become the factory director, what can I do? You know that in state-owned enterprises, there are many bosses above me, and many things are difficult to do. Besides, things are changing rapidly outside. If I don't change now and then think of a solution later, it will be too late."
Zhang Jian looked at the cigarette butt in his hand and shook his head, "I've thought about it carefully. It's really boring to continue staying like this. I might as well quit and go out and try my luck. I'm still young and have the opportunity to start a career. I might not have the energy to do so after I'm over 40."
"Have you really thought it through?" Song Yuanchao asked.
Zhang Jian smiled and said, "Of course I have considered it, otherwise I wouldn't tell you this."
"That's fine. We're all in the enterprise anyway, so it doesn't matter where we go. Lao Wu, if you don't mind, come to our Si Te. Our Shancheng branch is short of people. You can go there and serve as the deputy manager for a while. After you get familiar with the situation, I'll..."
"Don't!" Before Song Yuanchao could finish, Zhang Jian waved his hand and said, "Third brother, I know you mean well, and I appreciate your kindness, but I will not come to Sir."
