Chapter 674: On the bench

Almost all those who can work in government agencies are smart people, and they are often the most well-informed, because only in this way can they continue to work in the unit and have to constantly find ways to get promotions and salary increases. Therefore, the fact that their new deputy mayor was looking for a secretary in the unit immediately caused a small sensation in the unit.

This year, the unit has just recruited a group of top university students from several famous domestic universities. These newcomers have become the most excited group, and they all feel that they are very likely to be selected by the new deputy mayor as secretaries.

In a most ordinary department in a Donghai City unit, the deputy chief suddenly looked up at a young man and asked, "Xiao Zhao, you look like you graduated from Shanghai International Studies University, right?"

"Huh? Yes! Section Chief." Newcomer Zhao Dong looked up at the deputy section chief in surprise and answered.

"Xiao Zhao, I heard that our Mayor Su also graduated from Shanghai International Studies University. It seems that your chances of being selected by Mayor Su are very high!" Looking at the newcomer who had just joined the department, the deputy section chief immediately showed an envious expression and analyzed.

"Ah? Chief, I'm just a new college graduate. To be Mayor Su's secretary, one must be at least at the deputy section level." Hearing that the deputy section chief was so optimistic about him, Zhao Dong restrained his surprise and said.

"Hey! Xiao Zhao, seniority and rank are very small factors. Ability and fate are the most important. Maybe Mayor Su has taken a fancy to you, his junior fellow student!" The deputy section chief knew that the leaders in the unit liked to promote some newcomers and then slowly train them into their confidants.

"Ah? Chief, I'll leave it to you to say good things."

Colleagues in the ordinary department of this government agency heard the conversation between their deputy section chief and the newcomer Zhao Dong, and they all analyzed in their hearts that this possibility was particularly high. You know, leaders like to cultivate their own confidants, and Zhao Dong, who graduated from the same university, definitely has a great chance. Then colleagues in the department congratulated the newcomer Zhao Dong in advance.

After hearing the congratulations from many colleagues in the department, the newcomer Zhao Dong felt a little elated. Of course, he also agreed with the analysis of the deputy section chief and his colleagues, so his expression was as if he had really become the deputy mayor's secretary.

In the corner, an old clerk with gray hair was concentrating on the work at hand. He didn't care at all about the noise of other colleagues about the selection of the deputy mayor's secretary. This person was a veteran employee of this department. He just focused on his work every day and didn't like to socialize. His colleagues in the department were used to ignoring him.

As a member of the last batch of workers, peasants and soldiers who graduated from college, this person has very rich work experience and knowledge. He has seen too many people and things in his more than 20 years of work experience. However, because he is not good at speaking and communication, he is still only a deputy section-level official. Fortunately, he is not keen on promotion and salary increase, and has long cultivated a mentality of being calm and insightful.

By the time Su Ning arrived at work, Secretary Chen had already handed him the information of three people, and then smiled and introduced them to Su Ning one by one, "Mayor Su, these three are the secretaries I have selected for you."

"Oh? Secretary-General, thank you for your hard work. You found three candidates so quickly." Suning took the three personnel documents with some surprise, and then opened them carefully to read them one by one.

"Mayor Su, we have a lot of talented people in our unit. For example, Zhao Dong is very good. He just graduated from Shanghai International Studies University this year. He is very good both in terms of knowledge and writing skills." Secretary-General Chen focused on introducing the information of the newcomer Zhao Dong.

"Well, Secretary-General, this Zhao Dong is indeed very good, but unfortunately he has no work experience and is not suitable to work with me." Su Ning didn't understand why Secretary-General Chen strongly recommended Zhao Dong, but he passed Zhao Dong without hesitation. Then he picked up another document and asked Secretary-General Chen, "Secretary-General, what's the situation with Qin Xiangyuan?"

"Huh? Mayor Su, this Qin Xiangyuan is an old employee of our unit. He joined our unit after graduating from university in 1979. However, he is not good at speaking and socializing, so he is currently just a deputy section-level clerk." Secretary-General Chen gave a brief introduction to Qin Xiangyuan with some surprise.

"Graduated from university in 1979? He was a worker-peasant-soldier university student?" When Suning saw the university student who graduated and started working at this time, he immediately thought of the other party's true identity.

"Yes! Qin Xiangyuan does have a wealth of experience working at the grassroots level, and he has also worked tirelessly within the department for many years. However, he doesn't get along very well with his colleagues."

"Secretary-General, let Qin Xiangyuan be my secretary. His gray hair makes me feel very friendly." Looking at the personnel information about Qin Xiangyuan in his hand, Su Ning felt that this person was exactly what he wanted.

"Huh? Okay!"

Secretary-General Chen was very surprised by Suning's choice. Although Suning emphasized from the beginning that he wanted to find a steady old employee, when Suning really took a liking to Qin Xiangyuan at first sight, Secretary-General Chen still couldn't figure out Suning's psychology. If it were Secretary-General Chen, he would definitely choose a junior with whom he had a deep connection. After all, this was the fastest way to cultivate an absolute confidant, and he would not have any connection with other leaders.

When Secretary Chen came to the department and called away the "invisible man" Qin Xiangyuan, the colleagues in the department immediately caused an uproar. These experienced people in the office immediately understood what he meant, and then they were surprised and couldn't help but look at Zhao Dong who was standing aside. Zhao Dong's face was switching between blue and red at this time.

After Suning selected his secretary, he slowly immersed himself in the vast work. Looking at the secretary Qin Xiangyuan with slightly gray hair in front of him, Suning couldn't help but believe that the other party was capable of assisting him in his work and was definitely more suitable than the new office employee with a higher degree.

"Mayor Su, you need to go to the Education Bureau for inspection tomorrow." Qin Xiangyuan overcame his initial surprise and quickly got into work mode.

"Well, Secretary Qin, the focus of tomorrow's inspection at the Education Bureau will be on improving students' safety education, such as preventing abductions, understanding the inexorable nature of fire and water, and crossing the road safely. These are common sense issues."

"Yes! Mayor Su, I'll go down and make arrangements right away."

"Also, bring me the information about the leaders of the Donghai Education Bureau."

"Yes! Mayor Su."

Some people may find it difficult to understand why Suning has so many talents under its network but forces them to be responsible for different industries. They may think that this is the biggest waste of talents. In fact, the main reason is that the industries Suning is currently involved in are all gold industries, and Suning also mainly wants to set up branches in the future.

Lei Dongbao rushed from Shanghai to the Su family in Donghai specially. Looking at Lei Dongbao, who has grown into a real estate tycoon, Suning is actually very satisfied and trusts him. At the same time, Lei Dongbao's work in Su Zi Hyatt in recent years is also worthy of this trust. After all, he has made Su Zi Hyatt's real estate business famous in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Now Suning is interested in setting up a new real estate company.

Of course, Su Zi Kaiyue's current real estate management strategy is to rent but not sell, which has indirectly cultivated a high-quality real estate agency company. This may be an unexpected surprise for Su Zi Kaiyue, but Lei Dongbao finds it difficult to understand Suning's management strategy of only renting but not selling.

"Mayor Su, our company has built the residential area and the building. Don't we need to sell them as soon as possible?" Lei Dongbao looked at the actual controller in front of him with some confusion.

"Mr. Lei, investing in real estate is a sure-win investment. Our current real estate investment will gradually become the foundation of Suzi Hyatt. If possible, I would like to buy all the real estate in Shanghai." Su Ning felt that what he was doing now was not enough. After all, the mainland real estate industry will also slowly take off after 2003. "Huh? Mayor Su, but this will take up a lot of our company's funds!"

"Boss Lei, the current housing prices are dirt cheap. We businessmen need to take a long-term view. Besides, rents are gradually increasing according to the industry, which can also help us at Suzi Hyatt relieve the financial pressure."

"Okay! Mayor Su, I know what to do next." Seeing that Suning had decided to continue using this strategy, Lei Dongbao passively accepted Suning's arrangement.

"Mr. Lei, the reason why I focus on the first-tier cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen in real estate is because first-tier cities are the guarantee of the everlasting prosperity of real estate. No matter where we go in the future, we will have a real estate wealth to leave to future generations." It was only 1993, and land resources and property ownership were the most important. As for the issue of funds, it really didn't matter to Suning.

"Mayor Su, I will try my best to acquire more land in first-tier cities."

"Well, Mr. Lei, our company's factories will mostly be located in first-tier cities. This can be considered a form of invisible early land acquisition."

"Mayor Su, I heard that you and Song Yunhui have been having some trouble recently?" After the two of them had finished their work, Lei Dongbao suddenly asked Su Ning about Song Yunhui in confusion.

"No! It's just that when we were working at the Donghai Chemical Plant, we had some minor disagreements at work. It wasn't a big conflict." Of course, Su Ning understood what Lei Dongbao was worried about, so he immediately explained without any concern.

"Mayor Su, Xiaohui has been stubborn since he was young. It's good that you don't argue with him." Lei Dongbao said to Su Ning with some relief.

"Boss Lei, Song Yunhui and I were assigned to the Jinzhou Chemical Plant right after we graduated from university. We've been friends for nearly eleven years now. I know his character very well and will definitely not target him because of a disagreement at work. Boss Lei, don't worry."

"Thank you, Mayor Su."

"Boss Lei, Xun Jianxiang and Song Li are busy with their wedding arrangements lately, so you should work harder and keep an eye on the company."

"Okay! Mayor Su."

Soon Lei Dongbao left Suning's home and drove back to Shanghai Suzi Hyatt Company again. After all, there was still a lot of work in the company that required him to be busy. Seeing that Lei Dongbao was not kept by Suning for dinner, Liang Sisen looked at him with some surprise.

"Suning, why didn't you invite Lei Dongbao to dinner at home?" Liang Sisen looked at Suning in surprise and confusion and asked.

"Liang Sishen, Lei Dongbao is worried about the relationship between me and Song Yunhui, so he came here to act as a peacemaker between us." Su Ning had long seen through Lei Dongbao's true purpose, so the so-called reporting work was just a by-product.

"Humph! Suning, it must be because of your bad reputation that Lei Dongbao is worried."

"Forget it! It was obviously Song Yunhui who couldn't afford it in the beginning. He couldn't stand it when it was his turn to be humiliated. It has nothing to do with me." Suning was actually speechless about the stingy Song Yunhui. He had made it clear at the beginning.

"Suning, I heard that Mr. Song is doing very well in Binzhou Chemical Plant?" Liang Sisen also knew that what happened back then was too complicated, so he deliberately changed the subject and asked.

"Yes! Under Song Yunhui's management, Binzhou Chemical Plant has developed very well, but it is still far behind our Donghai Chemical Plant." Although he has now jumped out of the chemical system, Suning still regards the Donghai Chemical Plant as his own private territory.

"Suning, Feng Xuehua is currently at the Donghai Chemical Plant with her child, while Mr. Song is far away in Binzhou, Handong Province. I'm worried that things will get bad for them if they stay like this for too long."

"Liang Sishen, do you lack confidence in your teacher Song, or do you underestimate Feng Xuehua, who is a good wife and mother?"

"Uh?"

"Liang Sishen, Song Yunhui, and Feng Xuehua have a deep relationship. In addition, Song Yunhui is also a very career-oriented person, which means he is destined not to focus on his family."

"Well, Suning, what you said makes sense." Liang Sisen soon nodded in agreement.

"Oh right! Liang Sisen, our family has a large manor villa by the West Lake in Hangzhou. I want to bring Grandpa and Grandma Hyatt to Hangzhou to retire there, and also find a suitable housekeeper for them."

"Okay! Leave this matter to me. I will go to Beijing to pick them up myself." Liang Sisen nodded in agreement at this time, and then took the initiative to take over the task with his understanding.

"Also, go visit Elder Zhou and Elder Yin and see if they're willing to come to Hangzhou together. It would be a great opportunity for them to spend their retirement together by the West Lake. It would just be a matter of hiring a few more housekeepers anyway."

"Great! It just so happens that I'm discussing the acquisition of Jinzhou Chemical Plant with Mr. Zhou."

"There's no need to rush this! We need to avoid Mr. Zhou misunderstanding that we're too materialistic."

"Huh? Okay! Then let's not talk about this matter for now."
