Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 996 Working in Place of Cadres!

"Section Chief! I heard from Xiao Zhang that you wanted to see me?" Tang Yanling followed behind Section Chief Zheng and had just entered Section Chief Zheng's office when a young girl walked in from outside and politely asked Section Chief Zheng.

Upon hearing Liu Min's question, Section Chief Zheng picked up the file bag on his desk and introduced it to Liu Min with a smile: "Liu Min! This is Comrade Tang Yanling, who has just been transferred to our unit. This is her personnel file and transfer certificate. Please take these documents and help Comrade Tang Yanling complete the relevant procedures."

Upon hearing Section Chief Zheng's words, Liu Min immediately stepped forward, took the file bag from him with both hands, and politely replied, "Section Chief! I understand. I'll go help Comrade Tang Yanling with her onboarding procedures right away."

After watching Liu Min walk out of the office with the file bag, Section Chief Zheng said to Tang Yanling with a friendly expression, "Little Tang! Director Jiang should have arrived by now. Let me take you to Director Jiang's office first and see how he plans to arrange your work."

Upon hearing Section Chief Zheng's words, Tang Yanling quickly and politely thanked him, saying, "Section Chief Zheng! Thank you for your help."

Section Chief Zheng led Tang Yanling to the door of an office on the second floor. When Section Chief Zheng saw Jiang Kun sitting at the desk, he greeted him politely, "Director Jiang! Good morning, Comrade Tang Yanling has reported for duty. What do you think is the best way to arrange her work?"

Tang Yanling, who was standing next to Section Chief Zheng, felt inexplicably nervous when she saw Jiang Kun sitting at his desk. She greeted him respectfully, saying, "Director Jiang! Hello! I am Tang Yanling!"

Upon hearing Section Chief Zheng's report and Tang Yanling's greeting, Jiang Kun smiled warmly and said to Tang Yanling in a very friendly tone, "Little Tang! Good morning, welcome to our big family."

After greeting Tang Yanling, Jiang Kun smiled and instructed Section Chief Zheng, "Xiao Zheng! Arrange for Xiao Tang to work directly in the office, specifically to assist the purchasing department in coordinating the procurement of imported goods with our suppliers. Her salary will be paid according to the standard of working in lieu of a cadre position."

Upon hearing Jiang Kun's instructions, Section Chief Zheng immediately nodded and respectfully replied, "Director Jiang! I understand. I will take Xiao Tang to complete the relevant procedures right away."

Section Chief Zheng led Tang Yanling out of Jiang Kun's office and said to her with a smile, "Little Tang! Under normal circumstances, ordinary employees assigned to our bureau need to work for three years and have outstanding performance before they can get the opportunity to work as a substitute cadre."

"As soon as you were transferred here, Director Jiang gave you a position as a substitute cadre and assigned you such an important task to coordinate. He hopes that once you officially start working, you will work hard and not let down the leaders' expectations of you."

Upon hearing Section Chief Zheng's instructions, Tang Yanling immediately replied respectfully, "Section Chief Zheng! Please rest assured, I promise to work diligently and will never let down the leader's trust and expectations."

Not long after Jia Dongming arrived at his office, Xue Wu walked in from outside and respectfully reported to Jia Dongming: "Chief! Following the direction of the investigation you provided yesterday, we visited grain stores and black markets in the city and found that recently, a group of people have been purchasing large quantities of grain and daily necessities from several black markets in our city. I suspect that this group is the mastermind behind the kidnapping of Master Ban."

Upon hearing Xue Wu's report, Jia Dongming asked him with a serious expression, "Xue Wu! Have you found out the exact number of people in this group? Where was all the grain sent?"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's question, Xue Wu respectfully reported, "Captain! According to our informants in several black markets, this group consists of about seven people, who speak with an accent from Shanxi Province. However, they are very cautious when they come to the black market to purchase grain, and we don't yet know exactly where the grain is being sent."

Upon hearing Xue Wu's report, Jia Dongming immediately instructed Xue Wu, "Xue Wu! Arrange for people to monitor these black markets immediately. Keep a close eye on these people as soon as they appear. I need to know where they will eventually settle down."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's instructions, Xue Wu immediately nodded and replied respectfully, "Captain! I understand. I'll arrange for men to monitor the black markets immediately." "Ring ring! Ring ring! Ring ring!"

Just as Xue Wu finished speaking, the telephone on Jia Dongming's desk rang. Upon hearing the ringing, Jia Dongming immediately instructed Xue Wu, "Xue Wu! You can go ahead and get back to work!"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's instructions, Xue Wu immediately replied respectfully, "Captain! I'll get back to work now."

As Jia Dongming watched Xue Wu turn and leave, he reached for the phone on his desk and politely asked, "Hello! This is Jia Dongming. Who is this?"

"Uncle! This is Tang Yanling. I've just completed my onboarding procedures. Director Jiang gave me a position as a temporary worker, and assigned me to assist the purchasing department in coordinating the procurement of imported goods." Tang Yanling's excited voice came through the phone as soon as Jia Dongming finished speaking.

Upon hearing Tang Yanling's explanation over the phone, Jia Dongming immediately understood Jiang Kun's purpose in making this arrangement. He smiled and instructed Tang Yanling, "Yanling! Since Director Jiang has made this arrangement, then you should do your job well. As for the matter of purchasing imported goods, I will discuss it with your Uncle Wu after he returns from Hong Kong."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's instructions, Tang Yanling breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said respectfully, "Uncle! I understand. I will do my job well and will never let you down."

After Tang Yanling ended the call with Jia Dongming, she remembered Wen Xiaorong's instructions from yesterday. She then reached out and hung up the phone, turned the handset a few more times, picked up the receiver, and politely said to the operator, "Is this the switchboard? Could you please transfer me to the finance department of the Second Department Store of Sijiu City?"

"Hello! This is the finance department. Who are you looking for?" The call was quickly connected, and Wen Xiaorong's polite voice came through the phone.

Upon hearing Wen Xiaorong's question, Tang Yanling showed a surprised expression and jokingly asked Wen Xiaorong, "Mom! You haven't been waiting by the phone since early this morning, have you?"

Just as Tang Yanling had guessed, after Wen Xiaorong started work, she stayed by the phone to confirm Tang Yanling's onboarding. Faced with Tang Yanling's teasing, Wen Xiaorong complained irritably, "Lingling! You heartless bastard! I'm only staying by the phone because I'm worried about you. Have you finished your transfer procedures? How much is your monthly salary?"

Hearing Wen Xiaorong's complaints, Tang Yanling thought of her own salary and said to Wen Xiaorong with a smug look, "Mom! Because of my uncle, Director Jiang directly gave me another job as a substitute worker. The monthly salary is thirty-five yuan and fifty cents. If you add other subsidies, I can get more than forty yuan a month."

When Wen Xiaorong learned that Tang Yanling had just reported for duty, the Commerce Bureau had already given her a position as a temporary worker. This made Wen Xiaorong very happy. She didn't forget to remind Tang Yanling, "Lingling! You must work hard at the Commerce Bureau and don't let your uncle-in-law down."

Upon hearing Wen Xiaorong's instructions and recalling the work Director Jiang had assigned her, Tang Yanling smiled and said to Wen Xiaorong, "Mom! Don't worry, I promise I will work hard and will definitely not let Uncle down."

Upon hearing Tang Yanling's assurance, Wen Xiaorong, eager to share the good news with her husband, happily said to Tang Yanling, "Lingling! Your dad is still waiting for my good news. I'm going to call him and tell him the good news, so I won't talk to you anymore."
