Thirty years ago, the office building of the county construction company was the most beautiful and largest building in the county. The seven-story Khrushchev Building was surrounded by a courtyard and three rows of bungalows. In the middle of the office building was a drive-in
Import and export of automobiles.
Nowadays, compared with the office buildings of other units, which are more modern and taller than the last, they already look dilapidated.
But it's not because there's no money to repair it. In the past few decades, more than half of the county's construction projects have been undertaken by county construction companies. They are too rich.
I just don’t know why there is no new office building built. Compared with other enterprises and institutions, it looks like a very shabby unit.
Wang Yu's husband, Zhang Long, works in the infrastructure sector. He is an ordinary clerk. His name is very powerful, but he is short, less than 1.7 meters tall. He has an average appearance. He smiles all day long and speaks in a low voice.
He is a well-known good old man with no temper, and is known as Zhang Laowei in private.
Everyone who has met Wang Yu is puzzled, how could a man like Zhang Laowen get such a tall and beautiful wife?
Because one of the couple worked in the county and the other worked in the town, and the gap was so huge, some rumors spread. Some said that Wang Yu had given Zhang Laowen countless cuckolds, and some said that Zhang Laowen was very tall.
The tall and handsome son is not his kind, all kinds of things.
However, Zhang Laowen never responded. He just worked as he should and it was still the same.
On this day, he came to the office ten minutes early as usual. After doing some cleaning, he went to fetch water and make tea. All the work before work was done. The construction worker he used to lead and now the unit chief hurried in.
"Zhang Long, you can still sit still, you are really slow." The section chief said something incomprehensible and hurried out.
Zhang Long was puzzled, so he put down the steaming teapot with the lid, and after thinking for a while, he followed out. When he got to the corridor, he found that many people were walking out, talking to each other in low voices, and the atmosphere was very strange.
I followed them to the large conference room and found that they were all crowded together at the window to look out. Opposite was the office of the company leaders.
Zhang Long also found a gap and looked across, and was shocked when he saw it.
Company manager Quan He and others were standing at the door of their office. Many people were searching their offices, including some in police uniforms.
Something big happened.
Not long after, Quan He and others were taken away, along with everything in the office, as well as the company's financial office and company accountant.
"It's over, all managers are over, and so are other leaders. Our construction company is about to change." A colleague said this inexplicably.
The union chairman suddenly appeared at the door of the large conference room and said with a cold face, "What are you doing! Everyone go back to work! If you don't want to do this, pack your things and go home!"
At this time, everyone suddenly discovered that the company leader was not taken away for investigation, only the union chairman.
Everyone returned to work one after another, but no one could calm down and work. Soon, more news came.
Zhang Long, who had always turned a deaf ear to or remained unmoved by these things, couldn't sit still. How could he just sit back and watch when it was related to whether he could keep his job?
The one who was even more restless than him was the unit chief. This former subordinate who was said to have become unit chief by giving gifts to Quan He was taken away at around ten o'clock in the morning. His face was so pale that it was scary to see him.
When it was time for lunch, Zhang Long came out of the office and walked along the long corridor to the stairs. He found that there were fewer people in almost every office. When he arrived at the canteen, he found that there were more people eating in the canteen.
Missing, many familiar faces of middle-level cadres are missing.
After the anxiety in the morning, Zhang Long's mood stabilized. He had never done anything wrong, so he was not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. After thinking about it, what he was like before was what he was like now. After lunch, it was the same as usual.
Get on your bike and go home for a lunch break.
The couple live apart five days a week. Zhang Long rarely cooks at home. He has breakfast, lunch and dinner in the workplace canteen, and goes home after eating. He also has almost no recreational activities. He stays at home either reading or drawing, and his life is monotonous.
Very.
However, this day is destined to be different from usual.
As soon as he opened the door and was about to go home, Xiao Wang, the driver of the union chairman, shouted from downstairs, "Director Zhang!"
Zhang Long felt strange and stuck his head out to look down, "Driver Wang."
"Chairman Wang has something to do with you. Come with me quickly." Driver Wang's tone was very anxious.
Zhang Long didn't know what was going on, locked the door again, and hurried downstairs. Driver Wang was already waiting in the car. He trotted over and opened the passenger door and got in. Driver Wang hurriedly turned around and drove towards the unit.
The chairman of the labor union is also the leader of the company. He is treated equally and is equipped with the same Audi 100 sedan as the company manager. In this regard, he closely follows other government agencies at the same level.
After returning to the work unit and arriving at the office of Chairman Wang of the Trade Union, Chairman Wang took off his reading glasses, pointed to the chair in front of him, and said, "Xiao Zhang, sit down."
Zhang Long started to feel uneasy again. He sat half-way down his buttocks, quite nervous.
"Xiao Zhang, have some tea." Chairman Wang poured a cup of tea for Zhang Long, which made Zhang Long feel very restrained.
I joined the county construction company when I started working. I have never entered the office of a company leader, let alone face-to-face with a company leader like now. It is inevitable to be nervous.
Chairman Wang said, "I guess you have also heard that Quan He and some other people were taken away for investigation and suspected of illegal and criminal activities."
Waving his hand, Chairman Wang said, "Our county construction company is a long-established state-owned construction company in the city. This year is an important year for attracting investment. Infrastructure construction is an important prerequisite for attracting investment. Our task is very heavy.
"
Sighing lightly, Chairman Wang said, "Changes in personnel cannot affect the company's normal work. Xiao Zhang, I remember you started working in 1983, right?"
Zhang Long smiled stiffly and said quickly, "Chairman Wang, I started working after graduating from technical secondary school in 1982."
"Well, I have been working for thirteen years." Chairman Wang nodded slowly, "You are in the infrastructure sector now, right?"
"Yes." Zhang Long nodded quickly.
Chairman Wang pondered for a moment and said, "You also know that our Xinfeng County Construction Company was formerly a subsidiary of the Provincial Department of Construction. It was established when we were engaged in third-line construction. Later, the entire company was transferred to Xinfeng County, and Xinfeng County was born.
Construction company.”
Zhang Long didn't understand why Chairman Wang was talking about these histories.
Chairman Wang said, “The city issued a document requiring counties to complete the reform of enterprises and institutions as soon as possible and better play the pillar role of state-owned enterprises in economic activities. Our county construction company will take this as an opportunity to also carry out reforms.
"
"So many people have been taken away, and our work cannot be affected. Xiao Zhang, the company has decided to put more burden on you. The infrastructure department and planning department will be merged into the infrastructure office. How about you becoming the director of this office?"
Zhang Long was stunned.
Two stock-level departments were merged into the Infrastructure Office, which is now a deputy department-level department.
Chairman Wang is the senior level.
Chairman Wang said, "You majored in construction planning in technical secondary school. It's very relevant. What do you think? Can you take up this responsibility?"
There is something wrong with being an official and not being proactive. Zhang Long's refusal to run away or send him off does not mean that he has no ambition. He was stunned for a moment and said quickly, "I obey the organization's arrangements."
"Okay, then you have to work hard and immediately start organizing the personnel of these two units. After unifying their thoughts, take them back to Longzhen." Chairman Wang said.
Zhang Long was stunned again, "Chairman Wang, go back to Longzhen..."
"Huilong Highway has resumed work. Our county construction company cannot just watch. Your wife works in Huilong Town and has become the deputy mayor. Go find her and have a talk." Chairman Wang said.
Zhang Long understood that the reason why he, the director of the Infrastructure Office, came so suddenly had something to do with his wife.
"The success and failure of the Chunfeng School project in Huilong Town is a painful lesson. However, these have nothing to do with us. The top priority is to actively participate in the construction of Huilong Highway. The 30-million-dollar major project has left the county with only the county government building in the past few years.
, there has never been such a big project. There are so many mouths to eat in the company, we cannot remain indifferent, Comrade Xiao Zhang." Chairman Wang said sincerely.
Zhang Long said hesitantly, "Chairman Wang, my wife is the deputy mayor at the bottom of the ranking. I don't know whether her words are effective or not."
"You have to give everything a try. Don't feel any pressure and just go ahead and do it." Chairman Wang said.
Although he said this, Zhang Long knew in his heart that if he did not participate in the construction of the Huilong Highway, he would not be able to serve as the director of the Infrastructure Office for a few days. No matter who is the company manager, such things will happen.
Only when you can create benefits for the unit can your position be secure.
The most critical point is that Chairman Wang did not mention Zhang Long's level. Obviously, if Zhang Long accomplishes this, he will be able to overcome a hurdle that many cadres cannot overcome in their lifetime - deputy section level.
.
Many cadres work all their lives and then retire as deputy section chiefs. Deputy section chiefs are comprehensive management non-leadership positions, but deputy section office directors are different, as they are leadership positions.
Zhang Long, who is in his early thirties, can reach the deputy department level, which means that he has greater possibilities for his future career. This hurdle is the first and most difficult hurdle that national cadres encounter.
However, Zhang Long's mentality quickly adjusted. It was an unexpected surprise. Even if he couldn't do it, he would just continue where he was. There was nothing to worry about.
No matter how bad it gets, it won't be worse than it is now.
Thinking of this, Zhang Long felt much more relaxed. After the official notification came, he did not act like the director of the infrastructure office. He still talked to everyone with a smile as before, and organized the remaining staff of the two unit offices for mobilization according to the instructions.
After arranging the work, I didn’t take a break at noon, and took the Songhua River van to Huilong Town under the scorching sun.
