Chapter 83: The Feeling of Control
Security check completed.
Director Liu asked Chu Yang to organize their inspection results and write an inspection report.
There is no way. Director Liu has tasted the sweetness of Chu Yang and knows that Chu Yang can be plug-and-play, so he starts to exploit him continuously. Damn, he doesn't even know how to restrain himself. Who can stand this? He is not inflatable. This means that he is forcing himself to leave.
After returning, I didn't want to waste my brain cells, so I simply summarized and listed them one by one. Anyway, these problems were all brought up by everyone's arguments, so there was nothing to analyze, and everyone knew what was going on.
Chu Yang was too lazy to write rectification suggestions for each one, so he just wrote them according to a template and then gave them to the director for review after he was done.
Liu Chang took a serious look at it, but in the end he didn't think much of it. He just said, "Make a copy for Mr. Xie and see what he thinks. He may need this data for the safety production meeting of the listed company tomorrow."
Every month, Mr. Xie holds a safety production meeting with Director Liu at the listed company.
Chu Yang felt a little guilty. He came to the door of Mr. Xie's office. Just then, Senior Sister Cao Ning came out. When she saw Chu Yang, she showed a hint of joy, but she quickly restrained it. Her throat surged for a while, and finally she maintained her ladylike image. She just raised her eyebrows and said softly, "Senior worker."
The tone didn't sound like congratulations, but rather like a tease, a provocation.
Chu Yang was a little excited, but it had been several days and he was no longer interested. He could only respond, “Don’t be like that. It’s too corny.”
"Haha." She smiled complacently, stuck out her tongue and ran away. Chu Yang didn't know why, but there was always a hint of ambiguity when he met her. The feeling of leaning on each other on the car ride home last time was still vivid in his mind.
Entering Mr. Xie’s office.
Chu Yang handed in the report nervously. President Xie flipped through it, weighed it, and slowly frowned. Seeing this, Chu Yang felt a little guilty. If he had known that he would have to hand it in to President Xie, he would have written it more carefully. If President Xie was not satisfied, it would be terrible.
After Mr. Xie finished reading, he took a breath, looked up at Chu Yang, and said slowly.
"Is this all you have found?"
"You checked 18 power supply stations and 12 substations in total, and only found 165 problems. That's not enough."
Facing Mr. Xie's sharp question, Chu Yang didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Not enough? This leader even disliked those with few problems. Chu Yang didn’t quite understand.
"I am only responsible for the summary. I am not responsible for investigating the specific problems. This is all they gave me." Chu Yang was cautious and tried to clear himself of the responsibility first. No matter what time, power workers should not take the blame. Anyway, it is none of their business if someone dies.
In fact, I did not participate in the inspection work, I was just watching and learning.
"This Liu Chang, I've told him that I should let you participate more in on-site work and not waste talent. This guy is too petty." Mr. Xie shook his head.
Chu Yang finally understood why Liu Chang took him out for a checkup. It turned out that it was President Xie who spoke up.
Some things seem to be clear to everyone else.
Mr. Xie flipped through the pages again and said anxiously, "I will report this small problem tomorrow. Others will really think that our company has done a great job. If the municipal company comes to inspect and finds any problems, you will just want to embarrass me."
It's funny. Leaders nowadays don't have an easy time. Some even dislike those who have few problems. Actually, they are afraid of doing too well and being regarded as role models. If something goes wrong, it will be more troublesome and difficult to explain. Of course, they are also afraid of not doing well and being criticized, which will definitely lead to criticism.
Anyway, in a company like this, you have to be in the middle, which may be the so-called golden mean.
"Boss Xie, can you tell me how many questions are appropriate? I'll go back and sort them out. By adding last year's questions together, I should be able to get 300 questions in total?" Chu Yang asked symbolically because he had to relieve his leader's worries.
Mr. Xie nodded and said, "This is the only way. Please work harder. Three hundred or so should be enough. Send it to me tonight. I'll keep this copy for myself. We'll react tomorrow and see what happens next."
"Okay." Chu Yang replied.
The people below said that Mr. Xie was very serious. He did have an aura, with great energy in his small body, and he was intimidating without even getting angry. But Chu Yang didn't know why, but he felt very friendly. Perhaps it was because he was as handsome as himself.
The next day, Director Liu came early in the morning. He glanced at Huang Tianxiang from the corner of his eye. Huang Tianxiang had already picked up the water cup and was about to stand up, but Liu Chang suddenly came back and shouted, "Chu Yang, go to the driver class to get a good car, and go to the municipal company with me and Mr. Xie for a meeting."
When Chu Yang heard this, he felt strange. How come he became the one? Colleagues from other departments were also a little surprised. Normally, Director Liu would take Huang Tianxiang to the municipal company to start. So did the sun rise from the west?
But Chu Yang didn't say anything. He thought that he was the leader and just had to do whatever he was told. He quickly stood up and filled his cup with water. The city company was about an hour's drive away, and it was not easy to make the trip.
In fact, Chu Yang himself wanted to take a shit.
I have to poop after nine in the morning. This is a good habit that I have deliberately developed and kept since I started working. I would like to make it clear that Chu Yang would never do it to slack off. Pooping experts say that pooping at this time can make people happy and prolong their life... Forget it, I will continue to make it up.
But now it's awkward and I can only bear it, because I'm afraid of delaying Mr. Xie's meeting. It doesn't matter whether it's shit or not, everything should be centered on the leader and women as the basic points.
Huang Tianxiang, who was standing aside, had a changed expression when he heard Director Liu's arrangement. His neck stretched out like a pug. He stared at Director Liu and Chu Yang with his eyes fixed and his mouth slightly open. He wanted to know why he had fallen out of favor.
Following a big boss to a meeting at a listed company is actually just a small thing. All you can do is help the boss carry his bag. But many times these small things can show how much a boss values a person.
To outsiders, this was favor. Huang Tianxiang clearly felt that he was about to fall out of favor. His own strength was not good enough. Without the favor of the leader, how would he survive? This made him panic.
Actually, Liu Chang is also a smart man. At the beginning, he always disliked Chu Yang because his nephew's position was replaced by Chu Yang. But after so much time, he has begun to realize something. Chu Yang was arranged by President Xie and has a strong background. Since it is impossible for him to get rid of him, and he also has to please Xie Zhong, he might as well use Chu Yang.
Damn it, after using it, he found it very convenient to use, the size was suitable and he couldn't put it down. It's really inhumane.
When Chu Yang went to get the car, he deliberately slowed down and walked past Huang Tianxiang's seat, giving him a gloomy look. His face stank as cow dung, and although his eyes were drooping, they were full of malice. His abrupt mouth bit his lower lip tightly, as if he was about to bite someone at any time.
Chu Yang didn't know who he was showing his stinky face to. Who do you think you are? Am I afraid of you?
Chu Yang came to the car class swinging his pendulum and said without wasting words: "Class Liu, I'm going to get a car for Mr. Xie. I want a good one." Chu Yang didn't know that at this moment, he was acting like a fox taking advantage of the power of another.
But Chu Yang knew that the drivers were all snobbish and only cared about what they were served. When they heard that it was Mr. Xie who was going to take the car, Team Leader Liu readily arranged a new SUV. The headlights of this car were very full and bright, and Chu Yang liked it very much.
To be honest, when Chu Yang was this age in his previous life, he liked cars. He thought cars had beautiful body lines and gave him a sense of satisfaction when driving them. However, as his experience grew, Chu Yang drove many cars of all sizes, and even once drove a tank.
Only then did I gradually fall in love with the feel of the SUV and the fun of driving it.
SUVs generally have many functions. They do not require much warm-up and can be driven right away. Sometimes they can shift gears and drive automatically.
The feeling of being wrapped in a big car body is really great. The car body is big but it does not lack delicate and exquisite handling. As long as you hold the steering wheel tightly, step on the accelerator a little deeper, and be willing to give gas, the SUV engine will give you the kind of terrifying sound and super power that can never be matched by a sedan.
Of course, it consumes a lot of fuel and is bad for your health... I think I'm getting off topic.
In the car, Mr. Xie saw Chu Yang with a kind expression.
He talked surprisingly much, asking about all kinds of things , how many brothers and sisters he had, how his parents were, showing the care and concern of a leader. Chu Yang thought, you are checking my household registration, the next step is probably to introduce me to a girlfriend.
Director Liu on the side looked at Chu Yang, a little stunned, with a stuffy feeling in his chest. He felt that he was being ignored. Sometimes he wanted to interrupt, but couldn't find the right place to start.
Chu Yang didn’t know why Mr. Xie was so enthusiastic about him, so he could only answer his questions nervously and calmly, trying to keep his words as brief as possible. After all, the more you talk, the more mistakes you make, so just talk less and do more.
It was quiet for a while, and suddenly Mr. Xie said, "Chu Yang, I heard that the top leader of Butai City will be replaced this year. Your Uncle Huang is very popular now."
baffling.
Chu Yang didn't care about the political world, and it wasn't his turn to care about it, so he didn't even know about it. It was just that last week when Chu Yang was tutoring the little girl Huang Ling, he did find that the number of people squatting at the door of Comrade Huang Shi had increased exponentially.
I also discovered something interesting last night. When I was tutoring Huang Ling, I casually asked, "What's going on with the people outside?" The girl stuck out her tongue and replied, "I don't know. They even attacked me."
"What? No way." Chu Yang became very nervous when he heard that and was about to examine her body.
"Everyone gave me gifts at the school gate, and I couldn't hide from them."
It turned out that those people couldn't enter the Huang City, and they were all giving her gifts. It was just a false alarm...
People can find ways to exploit any hole.
I was wondering what was going on, but it seems I have found the reason.
"I don't quite understand this." Chu Yang answered truthfully.
"Haha, I hope your comrade Huang Shi can make it, hahaha, we will congratulate him together some other day."
Liu Chang on the side seemed to have discovered something. He opened his eyes wide and stared at the back of Chu Yang's round head. He couldn't help but take a few breaths of cold air, secretly regretting something, and then exhaled, as if he was thankful for something.
…
Arrived at this company in Niaobula City for a meeting.
Deputy General Manager Liang of the Municipal Company presided over the safety production meeting. The first thing was to learn the latest speech on safety by Director Li of the Provincial Company and understand its spirit. In fact, Director Li said only a few words: "The company's safety production is extremely severe now. We can't just talk about safety, nor can we keep it on paper. We must implement it in production."
Chu Yang also didn’t know why everyone an hour and then go back to write a review.
The next thing was for the heads of each company to report on the safety inspection results. As Mr. Xie had expected, everyone's questions were all in the same template and were agreed upon. There were about 300 to 400 questions, no more, no less. The municipal companies had fewer questions, about 200.
It seems that whether this is done well or not is not determined by the specific circumstances, but by the distribution of status and power.
It's like when we sometimes want to donate money to some poor families, and the leader donates 100 yuan, then as a subordinate you can only donate less than 100 yuan, otherwise you would be crossing the line and being immature.
Vice President Liang made his closing remarks: "All of you sitting here are responsible for safety and production in the county companies. Only a few months into this year, the company has already experienced several power accidents. The provincial company has issued important instructions to launch the highest safety risk prevention plan. At this time, at this point, I don't care what methods you use to contain it, but there must be no more fatal accidents, otherwise everyone will be in trouble, and we can't help you."
This sentence sounds funny, but it is terrifying when you think about it carefully.
"At this moment, no deaths can occur at this node..." That is to say, in his eyes, deaths can occur at other times and at other nodes. My goodness, he's so lustful.
But after thinking about it carefully, Chu Yang understood that there was a reason for the leader to say this. The degree of the company's reaction after the person's death was indeed based on the time of year. If a few people had died at the beginning of the year, the provincial company would not have reacted so strongly, and it would not even have announced it.
Because every year the higher-ups give the Aiguoli Electric Power Company a certain death target. You heard it right, a death target. Of course, this target does not have to be achieved, and it is best not to be achieved. No one wants it to be achieved.
However, although other indicators may be difficult for the Aiguo Electric Power Company to achieve, they are very enthusiastic, even to the point of fanaticism, in achieving this indicator. Generally speaking, the target can be achieved in half a year and exceeded throughout the year.
Generally speaking, before this target is reached, the company leaders are still steady and will not react too much, and the problem can be solved with money. However, after it exceeds the target, it will be troublesome, and solving this kind of problem is not only a matter of money, but also requires people.
So leaders all hope that something bad will happen to you sooner rather than later! ! ! !
"Listen carefully, everyone in charge. When you go back, you must spread the word to your subordinates. Tell them to be alert and not to take any chances. Don't create any trouble. If anyone dares to cause a personal safety accident at this time, I will definitely not be well. Someone here may lose his job..."
This Vice President Liang speaks in a really arrogant manner, and feels like a gangster from the underworld. Although what he says makes sense, it is not very pleasant to listen to. It feels like he is humiliating the people below him and has no respect for the heads of the county companies at all.
Maybe he really wanted to establish the prestige of his company.
Chu Yang observed the expressions of several county company leaders and found that their expressions were exactly the same as President Xie's. There was nothing unusual about them. There were smiles on their faces. You didn't know whether they were listening or not, but they almost looked like they were absorbed in the lecture and concentrating on it.
Chu Yang also understood that these people had been influenced by the company's excellent culture for a long time and had been trained for a long time. They all knew their roles and had the mentality that suited their roles. They knew what to do and when to use what expression.
If the leader above criticizes everyone, you should take it as a compliment and just smile. If the leader criticizes you alone, you have to be careful and not act so frivolous. Chu Yang hadn't practiced enough and he ran to the toilet to take a shit halfway through listening.
It's not disrespect to Vice President Liang, it's just that there's nothing we can do about it. He had to poop at 9 o'clock, so 11 o'clock is considered giving him face.
The municipal company is wealthy and the toilet is well ventilated with fresh air, which is better than the meeting atmosphere. After the meeting, the municipal company prepared a dinner for everyone with delicious food and good wine. Even the waiters were top-notch.
Before entering the room, Mr. Xie asked, "Chu Yang, how is your alcohol tolerance? Let's see how you perform today. Don't embarrass our Butai Company."
Damn it! As soon as Chu Yang said this, he knew that he would definitely die today.
There is no other way. The workplace is a battlefield. If I want to win the favor of President Xie, I must give it my all tonight. I don't have to get drunk, but I must get myself drunk first, otherwise this meeting today will be in vain.
There are many things to say about drinking. If you are drinking with your leader and you can't drink much, you must not force it. Just stop when you are drunk. Because if you get drunk and fall down, others will have to take care of you, which is a very inappropriate behavior, unless you are a beautiful woman.
If it is to external leaders.
The situation is different now. You must rush forward, push forward, and drink fearlessly until you fall to the ground. This way, your leader will think that you are a very capable and responsible person.
This is called fighting a war of attrition.
Chu Yang’s alcohol tolerance is actually average, but for the sake of the three-year agreement and for the sake of promotion and salary increase, he can only answer: "My alcohol tolerance is average, I will try not to embarrass the company." If he is not afraid of getting drunk, he can still do a lot before falling down.
Mr. Xie patted Chu Yang on the shoulder and walked in with a smile.
As soon as the meal started, Chu Yang quickly ate a few mouthfuls of meat to fill his stomach, then directly picked up a pot, and with an attitude of ready to die, he rushed into the crowd and immediately made a circle around several company CEOs and directors.
This caused other CEOs to thank Mr. President and give him approving looks.
In fact, Chu Yang knew that this round was crucial, and he would be fine if he could get through it. Now he was just trying to save face for President Xie. Others were all big shots, and drinking one glass with him was enough, and it was impossible for them to drink a second glass.
Sure enough, Chu Yang's actions amazed everyone.
"Boss Xie, you have a powerful general this year."
"Yeah, this is going to take us down."
"Boss Xie, this must be his disciple, so fierce, he wants to beat us all as soon as he comes."
“…”
Mr. Xie smiled and said, "Young people are ignorant, please don't be offended."
Sure enough, Chu Yang knew that he had completed his mission, so he pretended to be uncomfortable and ran into the toilet to pick at his throat. Although it was painful, he still vomited out most of it, so at least it wasn't very uncomfortable.
Chu Yang deliberately stayed in the bathroom for a long time and did not go out until someone knocked on the door.
After coming out, Chu Yang saw several vice presidents of county companies gathered together drinking, chatting and laughing, complimenting each other. That atmosphere seemed to have a special charm, but there was also a wall among them that separated those who were not qualified.
Even Liu Chang could only pour wine at the side, and there was no place for him to sit. Chu Yang had no right to go over, so he quickly ate some food, the best sea cucumber, the favorite of the national football players...
While they were eating, Vice President Liang of the Municipal Company arrived. Everyone stood up. President Zhou of the Bula County Company even ran over to greet him. Their company had the most problems with safety inspections, so today was particularly active. President Wang of the Qingchuan Municipal Company quickly poured wine for Vice President Liang, as their company had the least problems.
Vice President Liang changed his domineering attitude in the meeting, showed a friendly expression, and said with a smile that he wanted to toast everyone. This guy is really something.
Then everyone hurried to pour their glasses, and those who already had wine had their glasses filled up.
Everyone faced him, surrounded him, and raised their cups to him, as if they were afraid that he didn't see it. Chu Yang ignored them and just poured a cup of tea to fool them.
However, seeing the compliments from everyone, he realized that a vice president of a municipal company was so awesome. What would it be like if the top boss came? Would everyone revolve around him? This gave Chu Yang the urge to list the company as soon as possible.
