Siheyuan: After becoming a traitor, first let the Huai Ru River overflow its banks.

Xu Damao was puzzled when he saw that Li Jianjun came out in the direction of the factory director's office.

This Li Jianjun really knows how to flatter his superiors.

Factory Director Zhang. Not yet, he just took office and he's already going to people's offices. Trying to curry favor with them.

I'm afraid most people would find this hard to accept.

He and the newly arrived factory director, Zhang, were not related by blood or marriage.

Perhaps it was work-related, Xu Damao thought to himself, trying to find a reason for Li Jianjun's presence here.

What he never expected was that the newly arrived factory director, Zhang, would take a liking to Li Jianjun at first sight.

However, Xu Damao did not intend to confront Li Jianjun directly, and instead slipped away and returned to his office via another path.

The current Li Jianjun is not the same as before; his mindset and other aspects have far surpassed his former self.

Having learned from his previous experience, Xu Damao dared not act rashly.

Since Director Li has spoken, he's definitely going to be the deputy director.

Xu Damao returned to his office, humming a tune, and began organizing the movie tapes that would be shown in a couple of days.

At this moment, Zhang Hongmin came over again.

"Congratulations, Master Xu."

Xu Damao was very grateful to Zhang Hongmin. Without him, it wouldn't have been so easy for him to get back into his position as a film projectionist.

"Xiao Zhang, I really owe you a lot for this. I'm here to thank you in advance."

Zhang Hongmin is also capable of handling things.

"No need to thank me, Brother Xu. I'll have to ask you for help with any questions I don't understand in the future."

Xu Damao said with a smile.

"I will tell you everything I know, don't worry."

Zhang Hongmin brought over a tape and said to Xu Damao with a helpless expression.

"I've checked this tape many times and there's nothing wrong with it, but I just can't get any images of people to come out."

This really worried Zhang Hongmin, because he had a movie screening scheduled for that evening.

No one can be seen. This is troublesome tonight.

Xu Damao. Having just made that boast, he naturally had to help them.

He took the bag and looked at it; it was a minor problem.

"Xiao Zhang, look at this bag. You rolled it up a bit. Luckily, you didn't roll it too tightly, or it would have been a problem."

Xu Damao, in just a few moves, solved the enormous problem Zhang Hongmin had encountered.

Zhang Hongmin spent a whole day trying to figure it out but couldn't, while Xu Damiao solved it in less than three minutes.

Zhang Hongmin felt deeply grateful towards Xu Damao.

"Master Xu, experience is the best teacher. I really admire your skills."

Zhang Hongmin felt extremely fortunate that he had helped Xu Damao.

This is equivalent to helping yourself as well.

"It's nothing serious. Feel free to ask me anything you don't understand in the future."

In front of Zhang Hongmin, Xu Damao found his confidence. Xu Damao's experience in film projection was enough to make him proud.

With just this one skill of his, the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill really couldn't function without him as a film projectionist.

"Master Xu, I'll take my leave now."

Zhang Hongming was overjoyed to have his problem solved.

"I have a movie screening tonight, I'll definitely treat you to dinner another day."

Chapter 205 Three things to do when a new official takes office

Li Jianjun, after leaving Director Yang's office, already had a clear idea of ​​what was going on.

This Factory Director Zhang was extremely interested in all the reasonable suggestions he had made.

He was also confident that these specific measures could be well tested in the steelmaking process.

Yesterday, I had a very good chat with the new factory manager, Mr. Zhang.

Not only did it avoid an awkward situation, but it also provided an opportunity for me to get to know Director Zhang.

If it weren't for Li Ying's invitation, he wouldn't have had the chance to meet Director Zhang.

Li Jianjun took a deep breath. Regardless of how others fawned over the new factory manager, he had already left a very good impression on Director Zhang.

Very good, this first step has been taken very well.

The arrival of Director Zhang changed the mindset of all the employees at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

Those who gave gifts, built connections, and desperately climbed the ladder felt that their own spring had arrived.

Those who hadn't managed to establish a connection with Director Zhang were naturally filled with anxiety. A new broom sweeps clean, and they might be the first to be trampled on.

Li Jianjun, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, and through his own abilities, he successfully won the favor of Director Zhang, so his promotion was only to be expected.

After the weekend, on Tuesday when everyone was at work, Director Zhang announced that the entire leadership team would be having a meeting.

All the attendees at this meeting were middle-level managers.

Before the meeting, people made various speculations. Undoubtedly, this meeting of middle-level leaders was expected to result in a major reshuffle of the leadership team.

Some were excited, some were confident of victory, and some were uneasy.

The meeting begins.

Factory Director Zhang spoke first.

"Comrades, hello everyone. My name is Zhang Xinsheng, and I am the current director of our Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill."

"Most of the people here are veterans of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill; I should be considered a newcomer."

Although Director Zhang's words were very polite, they carried an aura of intimidating authority.

"As a result, in the past few days, I have gained a deeper understanding of everyone. I have also conducted a detailed review of the personnel files and secretly investigated and visited people to understand the work style, work attitude, and work methods of our middle-level cadres."

"I think that some leading cadres are seriously incapable of performing their current duties."

"My suggestion is to let the capable people do this job, which is what the people want."

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines; it meant that Director Zhang was about to launch a large-scale layoff.

"Similarly, there are many comrades who are exceptionally outstanding and capable, whose abilities far exceed their current job positions. It is necessary to promote them to higher positions."

Listen carefully to the underlying meaning, and everyone understood.

Factory Director Zhang is promoting his own people and laying off those he doesn't like or those who are truly incompetent.

"One of the main purposes of today's meeting is for us to conduct a self-examination first."

"When you all go back, let's get a sense of things first. If you think someone is not competent for their current job, you can vote for them once a week. We'll vote to decide who gets promoted."

"This is an internal vote by management. At the same time, we will also hold a vote among the workers."

"Those who receive the most unqualified votes will be removed from their current positions."

The meeting was very short, only half an hour.

Factory Director Zhang's open-minded statement directly expressed his attitude.

The next meeting will be held in a week, and an anonymous vote will be taken.

The person voted the least qualified will be transferred from their original position.

The meeting ended, and people reacted in various ways.

Many of the older workers at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill have been working there for over a decade and are used to seeing various factory directors come and set off a fire.

But I've never seen anyone like Director Zhang before.

The voting by cadres was completely separate from the stock options for workers. Cadres were always a minority, while there were ten thousand workers.

Starting tomorrow, designated personnel will set up ballot boxes at the entrance of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

Because the voting method is anonymous, people don't have to worry about retaliation.

As soon as the spirit of the meeting was conveyed, Xu Damao panicked.

He himself has never had a good reputation at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill; he likes to flirt with all sorts of women.

In that case, it won't be long before you step on it.

Once an impression is formed, it is very difficult to change it.

For Xu Damao to turn things around would be extremely difficult.

"No, we have to think of a way."

Xu Damao was extremely worried; he had almost lost all his hair but still couldn't come up with a solution.

……

Meanwhile, Liu Haizhong, who had grasped the essence of the meeting, became smug.

Liu Haizhong, a level seven fitter, was only one level lower than Yi Zhonghai.

There are only a handful of level eight fitters in the entire workshop.

There are only a dozen or so joints in a level seven fitter's workshop. Over the years, Liu Haizhong has accumulated a wealth of experience in the workshop.

He wasn't particularly popular in the workshop, but he wasn't someone people resented too much. Liu Haizhong felt this was an opportunity.

Since Director Zhang has decided to lay off staff, he must also create opportunities for promotion for middle-level managers.

In addition, a gift was given to Director Li.

……

By evening, Xu Damao had already come up with a solution. Since his reputation was bad, he had to find a way to salvage it.
