Era: A college student came to the courtyard house

Back in his office, Wang Qingling brewed another cup of tea and handed it to Fang Yuan, saying, "Comrade Fang Yuan, please have a seat."

Fang Yuan bowed slightly to accept the teacup and thanked him.

Wang Qingling picked up a bottle of Daqianmen cigarettes from the table and casually asked, "Want a smoke?"

Seeing Fang Yuan nod, he flicked out a stick and handed it to him.

Fang Yuan quickly took out a matchbox, lit it, and presented it to her like a bouquet of flowers.

Wang Qingling took a drag and asked, "Does Xiao Fang have a girlfriend?"

Fang Yuan shook his head and said, "No, I haven't started dating anyone yet."

"This shouldn't be the case. The young man is good-looking and a college student. You could say that such a talent is one in a million."

Wang Qingling stared intently at Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan showed no sign of pride and replied, "Director, you flatter me. I'm just a piece of rotten wood at best, far inferior to real talent. Right now, I just want to do my job well."

That's right, he's not an arrogant person.

Wang Qingling's greatest skill is discerning a person's character through conversation; he can accurately judge someone Fang Yuan's age with ease.

"Yes, it's good for a man to prioritize his career." After taking a few puffs of his cigarette, Wang Qingling seemed to perk up and said with a smile, "But you also need to hurry up and find someone. I'll tell the comrades in the Women's Federation and the union later and ask them to help you find someone."

At this moment, he looked at Fang Yuan with a slightly envious gaze, as if he were remembering his younger self.

Back then, he had just started dating and was so eager to study every night, afraid that he would fall behind if he didn't study for even a day. Now, if he doesn't study for a day, he will have many problems, and if he doesn't study for two days, he will start to decline. Under the pressure from his wife at home, his health is constantly deteriorating and he really can't take it anymore.

Thinking of this, Wang Qingling straightened his back and sat up straight in the chair.

Fang Yuan immediately straightened his posture and sat up straight.

The inspection department was personally overseen by Wang Qingling, who knew that a formal conversation was about to begin.

Wang Qingling coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and the smile on his face disappeared. He said in a serious tone, "Comrade Fang Yuan, according to convention, we should have talked to you the day you came to our factory office. However, due to work arrangements, I went out for training with the leaders a few days ago. But that's fine. Now that you are going to the Supervision Section as the section chief, we will combine the two meetings into one."

Following a decision by the factory's Party Committee personnel meeting, your employment status has been formalized, and your position has been adjusted to section chief in the Supervision Department. I believe Director Jiang has already informed you of this.

"Thank you for the trust of the factory leaders. I will unconditionally obey the organization's arrangements." Fang Yuan stood up from his chair with a whoosh and said in a strong voice, "Since I stepped into the steel plant, I have considered myself a part of the steel plant. I will work hard in the future and get into the swing of things as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay, okay."

Wang Qingling nodded in satisfaction at the answer, said "good" three times in a row, and continued to praise, "College students have such high ideological awareness."

Fang Yuan sat down again.

Wang Qingling suddenly asked, "By the way, how much alcohol do you drink?"

Fang Yuan was taken aback, not expecting the other party to ask this question so suddenly. After thinking for a moment, he cautiously replied, "Director Xu, I think my alcohol tolerance is pretty good."

So far, none of the people who have drunk with Fang Yuan have been his match.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 202ᴋᴋs.ᴄᴏᴍ]

Wang Qingling smiled meaningfully; "That's good."

Nowadays, whether it's planned or not, a drink and a note are a common occurrence.

In a climate where drinking is so prevalent, if you don't have a decent alcohol tolerance, you're basically missing a major tool for getting things done.

Wang Qingling leaned back in his seat and adopted a more relaxed posture.

Seeing this, Fang Yuan offered him a cigarette.

They lit a match, and smoke began to rise again in front of them.

"Xiao Fang, today I mainly want to talk to you about the work arrangements for the coming days."

"Our work here is demanding, often requiring us to work overtime. In addition to supervising, we also need to frequently deal with the factory's main leaders. In the future, you will not only need to learn to write, but also be familiar with various aspects of the situation. As the section chief, you will need to be good at comprehensive coordination."

"The most important thing is to remain calm. When faced with urgent or difficult matters, and when the leaders are not in the office, you need to know how to handle them. You can't let your composure crumble and cause the leaders to have to clean up the mess for you."

Wang Qingling's words were earnest and meaningful.

He usually wouldn't have said that if it weren't for his connection with Lin Xianghua.

Fang Yuan stood up and bowed slightly: "Thank you for your guidance, Director. If there are any shortcomings in my future work, I hope you will continue to criticize and guide me. Your demanding standards are the greatest care and encouragement for me."

Hearing Fang Yuan's answer, Wang Qingling picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea with satisfaction.

So far, Fang Yuan has made a very good first impression on him.

He has been the office director for three years and has seen many college and vocational school graduates who have been assigned to the office.

Most fresh graduates are either naive and bookish, or timid and cautious. This guy's performance is acceptable; no wonder he received Lin Xianghua's strong recommendation.

"As for your first task after you go to the Inspection Department, Secretary Lin has already personally chosen it for you."

As Wang Qingling spoke, he took a document from his drawer and handed it to Fang Yuan.

"Don't rush to look. For this task, we have only one requirement: follow the clues carefully and don't alert the enemy."

Fang Yuan solemnly accepted the file bag, and then Wang Qingling personally escorted him to the office door.

After coming down from the fifth floor, Fang Yuan went to the personnel department on the fourth floor and found Li Jufang.

Fang Yuan instantly became the center of attention upon returning to the large office of the personnel department. Everyone was wondering who this handsome young man was, or if he was some ancient ancestor's mount that had descended to earth.

I just came to complete my onboarding procedures a few days ago, and now I'm about to be promoted to section chief in the inspection department.

Those burning eyes were almost as intense as the sunlight outside.

"Section Chief Li, I'm sorry to trouble you again."

"It's no trouble at all, it's all my pleasure. I should be congratulating you." As she spoke, Li Jufang took out tea leaves from the drawer and brewed a cup of tea for Fang Yuan.

Everyone else in the office stared in disbelief; they were astonished that their Section Chief Li would personally brew tea for them.

This kind of treatment isn't something everyone can enjoy.

Li Jufang smiled and handed over the teacup. She had been working in human resources for almost six years, so she could naturally connect some related factors.

With such a promising talent right in front of her, it would be a waste of her position if she didn't make the necessary connections beforehand.

Taking the teacup, Fang Yuan quickly expressed her gratitude and changed her form of address: "Thank you, Sister Li."

"My name is Li Jufang, deputy head of the personnel department. You can call me 'big sister' if you like. Today I've gained a younger brother in power."

Li Jufang spoke very softly, so softly that only the two of them could hear her.

Since the other party was being so accommodating, Fang Yuan decided to seize the opportunity: "That would be great, but you can't call me 'Big Sister,' it makes you sound too old. Let's just call you Sister Jufang, it's more intimate that way."

Li Jufang was even happier to hear this. It seemed that this young man was not only handsome, but also had an impressive way with words.
