It always gets dark quickly in winter. Before six o'clock, the night has already fallen, and with it comes the damn temperature.
Su Cheng couldn't help but wince as he walked on the green path in the factory.
It’s almost the end of the year, and in a few days it will start snowing.
Su Cheng thought and walked quickly towards the cafeteria.
At this time, the private room in the cafeteria specially prepared for leaders and guests was already full of people.
Everyone sat down one by one around the large round table. Directly opposite the door sat Secretary Chen and Deputy Director Li.
Although in terms of rank, Secretary Chen is only a second-level clerk.
Everyone in this private room has a higher rank than him, but Secretary Chen is sitting in the main seat at this time.
But no one had any objections, because today he represented Factory Director Yang.
There is a space reserved on Secretary Chen's right hand side, which is specially reserved for Su Cheng.
After all, technically speaking, he was the guest of honor today, so it was appropriate to sit next to him.
As the director of the cafeteria, Zhao Gang was considered half the host. He warmly greeted the leaders who came in to take their seats.
Then he was busy going to Shazhu's kitchen to urge the food to be served.
It was exactly six o'clock at this time, and Su Cheng arrived at the door of the private room stuck in time.
He glanced into the room and saw Secretary Chen sitting in the main seat. He smiled and said hello,
"Secretary Chen, leaders, I am not late."
With Su Cheng's appearance, everyone's eyes instantly focused on him.
Wearing a straight dark green cadre uniform, coupled with his angular and stern face, he has a heroic appearance.
At that moment, someone smiled and said,
"This must be Chief Su, he is really young and promising!"
Su Cheng walked to the seat reserved for him, and Secretary Chen began to introduce the person who had just spoken.
"Chief Su, let's get to know each other. This is our factory owner Li Weihong and Deputy Factory Director Li who is in charge of production."
Su Cheng took a look at Deputy Director Li. He had a slicked back hair and a rosy face. He had a warm smile on his face, which made people feel good about him.
Needless to say, they were all dressed in gray and white Mao suits. Except for Su Cheng himself, everyone in the private room today was wearing a decent Mao suit. This was already the default look of the leadership team in the factory.
"Hello, Deputy Director Li!"
Su Cheng said hello, and Deputy Director Li stretched out his right hand and said with a warm smile,
"Chief Su, the safety work in the factory will depend on you from now on."
Su Cheng also stretched out his right hand to shake it and greeted,
"Deputy Director Li, this is all my responsibility."
Secretary Chen then led Su Cheng to the aisle where he was sitting next to Deputy Director Li.
"This is Comrade Xu Guochang, the chief of the propaganda department of our factory."
"Chief Xu."
Su Cheng called out the other person's rank as a greeting. Since they were of the same rank, he stretched out his right hand and shook it with the other person. He also looked at the other person.
He has a slim figure and a popular face, but the mustache on his lips makes him look a little more serious. It seems that he did it specially to show his dignity as a leader.
Xu Guochang stretched out his right hand to shake hands, but patted Su Cheng's shoulder with his left hand, and said with sincerity as a superior to his subordinates,
"Chief Su, do your best and don't let everyone down."
What's the meaning?
You and I are both section chiefs. What do you mean by advising me like you are a superior?
Is this because you are young and want to verbally tease yourself and embarrass yourself?
Su Cheng didn't answer, and glanced around with his peripheral vision. Many people had a look of amusement on their faces.
As for Deputy Director Li, who was in the main seat, he looked like he was watching a show, with a smile on his face.
Su Cheng thought about it, and then he patted Xu Guochang on the shoulder and said sincerely,
"Chief Xu, I'm new to the Security Department. Do you know that your Publicity Department should do a good job in our publicity work?"
Everyone:???
Xu Guochang heard Su Cheng giving him a task in the tone of a superior department, and saw everyone at the table looking at him with strange expressions. Their faces turned red, their throats trembled, and they wanted to say something, but in the end they chose to remain silent.
What could he say if Su Cheng treated him the same way as a human being?
If you want to embarrass others, you turn yourself into a clown. You can only blame yourself for underestimating the other person.
"Who is this?"
Su Cheng ignored Xu Guochang and asked Secretary Chen about the person sitting next to Xu Guochang.
When Secretary Chen heard what Su Cheng said, he introduced him,
"This is Section Chief Wang Jide and Section Chief Wang of our Procurement Department."
"Section Chief Wang."
As usual, Su Cheng stretched out his hand to say hello to the other party, and after sizing him up, he could only say that he was in the purchasing business, so he had plenty of money.
He is wide and fat, with a fat head and big ears. His tonnage is probably over two hundred pounds. Although there is talk of gaining weight in middle age, it is rare to be this fat these days.
"Chief Su!"
Wang Jide had just met Su Cheng's "sharp tongue" and said a simple hello and stopped talking.
Then Secretary Chen led Su Cheng to the middle-aged bald Director Hu with small eyes. Before Secretary Chen could speak, Director Hu narrowed his eyes and said with a smile,
"Secretary Chen, I don't need to introduce you. We met Section Chief Su when he joined today."
Secretary Chen pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, smiled politely and said,
"Director Hu, it's routine."
Then he said to Su Cheng,
"Chief Su, this is Director Hu Zhongyong, who is responsible for the personnel management of the factory."
Su Cheng shook hands with Director Hu, intending to build a relationship with him and said,
"Director Hu, I joined the job today, and you helped me a lot. Let's have a drink together later, so don't shirk it."
After hearing what Su Cheng said, Director Hu joked,
"Chief Su, do you know that I don't drink well and you want to get me drunk?"
Su Cheng smiled and said,
"How can that be possible?"
…
After Secretary Chen took Su Cheng to introduce these people, he led him back to his seat.
The people I just introduced Su Cheng to, except for Deputy Factory Director Li, who is a department-level cadre, the rest are all department-level cadres like Su Cheng.
As for the other leaders at the dinner table, they were all deputy department-level cadres, so there was no need for Su Cheng to go over and say hello in person.
Even though there is only one word difference between the main subject and the minor subject, it is a huge watershed both now and in future generations.
If you don't have the ability and connections, the deputy department level may be the end point for most people.
By the time everyone was introduced, the dishes on the table were almost ready.
Deputy Director Li smiled and said,
"Come on, use your kuai, otherwise the food on the table will be cold."
After saying that, Deputy Director Li picked up the kuaizi and put a piece of meat into the bowl.
When everyone saw this, they started eating.
As half the host, the canteen director has already opened a bottle of packaged Xifeng wine on the table.
He served it to Deputy Director Li, Su Cheng and others one after another, and then invited everyone to eat and introduced the dishes.
The dishes on the table were mainly Sichuan cuisine. In front of Su Cheng was a dish of spicy tofu. Su Cheng picked up a piece of tofu and put it in his mouth.
Immediately the spicy and delicious aroma filled the buds, and I couldn’t help but sigh that Shazhu’s cooking skills are indeed amazing!
Immediately afterwards, under the deliberate guidance of Deputy Director Li, everyone at the table ordered Su Cheng to drink two drinks.
Su Cheng could only give in half-heartedly, and drank more than half a bottle of liquor. He only had the capacity for one bottle, and he was already a little dizzy.
After three rounds of wine, and five tastes of food,
At this moment, Deputy Director Li quietly winked at Xu Guochang, the head of the Publicity Section, who was standing aside.
The latter understood it, pretended to be a little drunk, and deliberately shouted loudly in front of everyone,
"Chief Su, at such a young age, why did you become the chief of our security department? Tell me, otherwise I will be the first to disobey you!"
