My Terrible Life in Those Years

After I put down the documents, I vaguely felt that something was a little off.

Was I really after that 30 yuan a day for part-time work?

From 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., it's almost a full five hours, and I usually arrive early and leave late, so my working hours definitely exceed five hours.

Five hours costs thirty yuan, which is only six yuan per hour. If it weren't for my current situation, I definitely wouldn't do it; the cost-effectiveness is too low.

But I still enjoy doing it, and I'm a little worried about the possibility of it being converted into a barbecue stand. Why is that?

After thinking about it carefully, it dawned on me that this job was introduced to me by Xiaomawei.

The reason I enjoyed doing this so much, besides the money, seemed to be that I could see the kind and beautiful girl with the ponytail from time to time.

Actually, I'm not quite sure if I really have feelings for her.

Otherwise, why would they be so sensitive to the Xiancun redevelopment project? Why not go and check the redevelopment area immediately?

Especially after that young man suddenly barged in, besides feeling indignant for Xiaomawei, I also felt a little reluctant to let her have a boyfriend.

I was terrified!

I dared not think any further. Knowing my personality, if I thought about it any further and really figured it out, I would probably go and talk to Little Ponytail that very night.

Sales Department 1 is indeed the strongest department; they gathered all the personnel and materials in just half a morning.

As soon as he started work in the afternoon, Wu Bo convened another project meeting.

This time, Aunt Shu did not attend the meeting, leaving Manager Wu to be fully responsible for the division of security work and personnel allocation.

Nothing else has changed. Even if there were any changes, I've only been here for two days, so I wouldn't understand much.

I didn't understand anything about things like external liaison or contacting third-party suppliers.

However, in addition to external affairs, I also have an extra task: sending and receiving documents.

Uploading means reporting the necessary work progress directly to General Manager Shu, and then receiving instructions and approvals from General Manager Shu. This work is also handed over to me.

I was quite surprised, very surprised. Such an important task was actually assigned to me.

These days, which employee, or lower-level manager, doesn't want to be seen more often and appear on camera more frequently in front of higher-ups?

Although I didn't quite understand the purpose of his arrangement, I could vaguely tell from the look in his eyes that Aunt Shu's words to me that morning had some other purpose.

I immediately agreed to the work arrangement. It was a normal work arrangement, and I couldn't refuse, oppose, or make excuses for it.

However, a sense of wariness arose in my heart.

If Aunt Shu hadn't given me a wake-up call, I probably wouldn't have thought about it at all.

Zhou Tong's job remained unchanged; he was responsible for all internal data processing, as well as the collection, organization, and provision of various information.

After the meeting minutes were taken, Zhou Tong handed them to me. The contents of the minutes were part of the work progress. Originally, it was Zhou Tong's or Wu Boqian's job, but now it was all dumped on me.

When Aunt Shu saw that it was me handing her the meeting minutes, she frowned slightly.

"Why are you the one delivering it? Isn't this job supposed to be done by Zhou Tongqian?"

I had a vague feeling that Aunt Shu seemed to be acting strangely about this project, which was a bit unlike her usual style.

"Manager Wu said that I was responsible for relaying information up and down the chain of command for this project, while Zhou Tong was only responsible for organizing and compiling data and providing information."

Her slender fingers tapped lightly on the desktop folder, making a soft, irregular sound.

She seemed to be thinking about something, her eyes slowly scanning the contents of the document.

"Is there a problem, Manager Shu? If there is, please feel free to ask. I'm new to the workforce and there are many things I don't understand. If you can clearly tell me some things I need to pay attention to, I can learn faster."

Both times we met, she had this serious expression, which made me a little uneasy.

She was slightly surprised, perhaps because she didn't expect me to say something so sophisticated, as if I had figured something out.

She looked at me intently. My words just now seemed somewhat incongruous with my slightly immature face. She said, "Just remember what I told you this morning: Observe more, listen more, and speak less. Think before you act. The rest is up to you!"

I could sense that she was actually looking out for me.

"Manager Shu, don't worry. I suspect there are some things you're not comfortable saying directly—the company, the industry, even the project—it's definitely not that simple. As the saying goes, 'The master leads you to the door, but the practice is up to you.' I'll pay close attention!"

I expressed my thoughts quite frankly, and at the same time made it clear to her that I am not a blank sheet of paper, and not someone that anyone can just smear ink on.

After she wrote "read" on the record, signed her name, and handed it back to me, her expression was noticeably less serious.

"Go ahead and work hard!"

She emphasized the word "dedication" a little, which was also a reminder to me once again: Dedication!

The afternoon was still busy. While constantly exchanging various documents with Zhou Tong and the sales department, I finally understood why this project involved such a large sum of money.

The dozens of buildings lining both sides of the street, including several medium-sized hotels, restaurants, office buildings, and various other properties of all sizes, as well as the exterior walls, upper floors, and various wall and display screens, were all renovated and handled by Brilliant GG, from the selection of design schemes, GG production, procurement, to installation.

This also involves various projects, large and small, as well as suppliers.

Even for a large company like GG, most of its small and medium-sized projects are outsourced to long-term suppliers. But to handle this renovation project from start to finish, a team of ten people would need to work for at least three months.

Around 3 p.m., the entire project team, including myself, Zhou Tong, Wu Bo, and others, was dispatched by the company in a minibus to the two streets of Xiancun to check on the general situation of the entire project.

When we arrived, a professional outsourced company was already doing the measurement work. Every building that needed to be renovated, and all the GG projects that needed to be renovated, had to have their dimensions measured again, otherwise, the entire GG renovation project could not be perfected.

This is GG's motto.

A product from Brilliant is guaranteed to be of the highest quality!

Our group of ten immediately put on safety helmets and walked along the important buildings, observing the site and communicating with the surveying company personnel.

It was clear that the measurement company and Manager Wu were quite familiar with each other, and they chatted and laughed while offering each other cigarettes.

Finally, Manager Wu introduced me to the contact person at the measurement company, a young woman in her early twenties named Cheng Juan.

From now on, all documents can be given to me directly, and I will then submit them to the company for processing.

Cheng Juan wore large glasses and a safety helmet, and carried a measuring instrument; she looked somewhat like an engineer.

He glanced at me, nodded, and said nothing, then carefully looked up and downstairs.
