Chapter 2728 High-Level Restructuring
Outside the four nine cities, and outside the nine departments.
A team, fully equipped and carrying packs, moved quickly across the snow.
The team leader, Qu Wei, exhaled hot breath and looked ahead.
It's finally here.
finally home.
Thinking of this, Qu Wei tightened his backpack and quickened his pace.
The people following behind quickly caught up, stepping on the footprints left by Qu Wei.
At the back of the group, two figures stood by the roadside, watching the increasing number of pedestrians around them and taking in the surrounding scenery.
"Political Commissar, headquarters is just two streets away."
"Team Leader Liang, there's no political commissar right now, you can call me Zhao Gang, or Old Zhao, either is fine."
Upon hearing Liang Zuoxin's address, Zhao Gang replied with a serious expression.
Liang Zuoxin swallowed hard. Was it right for him to call this Old Zhao or Zhao Gang?
If not this, what should he be called?
After thinking it over, Liang Zuoxin decided to wait until the Ninth Division arrived and let Director Yang make the arrangements.
Once job positions are assigned, it becomes easier to address them.
"The marching speed is very fast."
Zhao Gang looked at the procession moving ahead with a sigh.
"Back then, when we were dealing with the enemy, we liked snowy days the most, and we also feared snowy days the most."
Zhao Gang took off his hat and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then put it back on. Images of past battles flashed through his eyes, the proudest moments of his life.
Liang Zuoxin nodded, "That's right, the heavy snow can stop the enemy from pursuing us and cover up our tracks!"
"But the soldiers were all wearing only thin clothes; they didn't even have a cotton-padded coat."
"Look at us now, we have cotton-padded clothes, hats and gloves."
"Now, we are even less afraid."
Zhao Gang nodded with a smile, "Yes, now we're not afraid of anything."
The two talked as they trudged through the snow and walked quickly forward.
Many people around looked at the advancing procession with curiosity.
However, upon seeing the words "Nine Departments" printed on the clothes of the group, they immediately relaxed.
After all, who in this area doesn't know about the Ninth Division?
The group moved quickly and soon arrived at the gates of the Nine Departments.
The security personnel responsible for guarding the gate had spotted the approaching person long ago and immediately called the security department.
However, looking at the people who ran back, each one of them was breathing out hot air, fully armed, and carrying a lot of miscellaneous things.
Especially Qu Wei, the team leader at the front, had even more items on him.
Then everyone looked at each other, and the same question popped into their minds: Where's the car?
Liang Zuoxin didn't greet the people at the door. Everyone was exhausted from running back and hadn't eaten yet.
Moreover, he also needed to take people to find Yang Xiaotao.
office.
After arriving at the Ninth Department, Yang Xiaotao organized the knowledge points he had memorized in his office.
Yang Xiaotao found a blank notebook and began to write.
The factory is closed for New Year's Day.
Because of the snow, the enthusiasm for celebrating New Year's Day cooled down considerably, and there weren't many people in the factory.
As for the office, there was only Yang Xiaotao.
He buried himself in organizing the knowledge points, recording them in detail, from the manufacturing principles to the required materials, production steps, and so on.
Even the failures that occurred in his memory were noted down by Yang Xiaotao.
Nothing in this memory is unimportant.
bang bang
There was a knock on the door.
"Please come in!"
Yang Xiaotao continued writing without looking up, and then the door opened, and Liang Zuoxin and another person walked in.
Yang Xiaotao looked up, then capped the pen and put it down before quickly getting up.
His gaze fell on the middle-aged man behind Liang Zuoxin.
"Hello, Political Commissar Zhao!"
Yang Xiaotao stepped forward enthusiastically and extended his hands.
Zhao Gang quickly extended his hands and greeted Yang Xiaotao with a smile, "Hello, Comrade Yang Xiaotao!"
His voice was capable and efficient.
The two men shook hands vigorously.
"Political Commissar Zhao, welcome to our Ninth Division!"
"You have no idea, when I found out you agreed to come, I was so happy that I couldn't sleep all night!"
Yang Xiaotao really didn't sleep well that day.
Firstly, I lamented that I joined the "Bright Sword" movement a bit too late, and I didn't know what I could do next.
Secondly, it was also a headache to arrange things for Zhao Gang, as we had to consider both Zhao Gang's personality and the actual situation.
With all these thoughts swirling in my mind, I really couldn't sleep well.
"Troubling you!"
Zhao Gang spoke sincerely, shaking his hands vigorously.
Yang Xiaotao shook his head. "Political Commissar Zhao, you're being too polite. Although this is our first meeting, I, Yang Xiaotao, have always admired your integrity and character!"
This is also Yang Xiaotao's honest opinion.
Zhao Gang assumed that Liang Zuoxin was talking to Yang Xiaotao about his situation, and his face showed more gratitude.
After all, it's always easier to get along with someone if you're respected than if you know nothing about them.
Little did he know that Yang Xiaotao had watched "Bright Sword" countless times in his previous life.
Especially those classic scenes, a slogan or two can bring those images to mind.
The two stood aside exchanging pleasantries, completely ignoring Liang Zuoxin standing to the side!
However, Liang Zuoxin was not annoyed. Before he came, the old regimental commander had told him to take good care of Political Commissar Zhao.
Now that I see this, I feel more confident.
"Lao Liang."
Just as Liang Zuoxin was lost in thought, Yang Xiaotao's voice came.
"Minister Yang!"
"Old Liang, go to the security department and make sure the work is arranged properly!"
"Let's have lunch together to welcome Political Commissar Zhao back!"
Liang Zuoxin immediately nodded, "Okay, I'll go make the arrangements!"
He glanced at Zhao Gang as he spoke, and the latter nodded before leaving.
"Political Commissar Zhao, please have a seat!"
"We're on holiday for New Year's Day, you go ahead and do your work, I'll go make some tea!"
Yang Xiaotao offered his hospitality, but Zhao Gang waved his hand, saying, "No need to be so polite! I'm being presumptuous by calling you Xiao Yang!"
"Don't call me Political Commissar Zhao anymore, just call me Old Zhao!"
After Zhao Gang finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao came over with a cup and said, "Okay, then I'll call you Old Zhao!"
As he poured water to make tea, Yang Xiaotao took out a cigarette, but Zhao Gang waved his hand, saying, "I'm not a big smoker, I only take a puff when something happens!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotao picked up a cigarette. "I used to be like that too, but as I encountered more and more things, I developed this habit of taking out a cigarette as soon as I see someone!"
Zhao Gang smiled, then looked Yang Xiaotao up and down.
He knew Yang Xiaotao was young, but he didn't expect him to be this young.
Moreover, he knew a bit about the Nine Divisions, and he never expected that the person who led the Nine Divisions to where they are today was actually a young man.
Indeed, heroes emerge from among the young!
"Old Zhao, Old Li told me all of that on the phone."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Yang Xiaotao got down to business.
"You don't need to worry about work." "There are many positions in Department Nine, so none of them will be a problem for you."
"I have two initial ideas: one is factory management, and the other is security!"
"However, I'd still like to hear your thoughts on the job, is there anything you particularly want to do?"
Zhao Gang wasn't surprised by Yang Xiaotao's words, and he had already thought about it when he came. When Yang Xiaotao asked, he frankly said, "Xiao Yang, I was also asking myself what else I could do on my way here."
"I thought about it all the way, from the initial idea of teaching and nurturing people, to the current situation, and finally I became firm in my own ideas."
At this point, Zhao Gang looked up and said seriously, "I want to be a worker!"
Yang Xiaotao sighed inwardly upon hearing this.
Just as he expected, Zhao Gang was still the same Zhao Gang, maintaining a clear head and rational persistence.
"it is good!"
Yang Xiaotao slapped his thigh, his face serious.
"Since you, Old Zhao, have chosen the path of a worker, then I won't hold back!"
"Let me tell you about the situation of the Nine Departments first, so you'll have a better understanding."
Zhao Gang nodded, "I'm all ears!"
Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "Our Ninth Department has not been established for long. Compared with the other departments, the most important difference is in innovation."
"Currently, there are nine..."
Yang Xiaotao and Zhao Gang chatted all morning until Liang Zuoxin invited them to lunch, which interrupted their conversation.
"Old Zhao, we have plenty of time in the future, let's talk slowly when we have time!"
Yang Xiaotao stood up, and Zhao Gang nodded with a smile, "This has already impressed me greatly!"
"I never imagined that the Ninth Division would develop so rapidly over the years; it has completely overturned my judgment of the development of the revolution!"
Yang Xiaotao stood up and said with a smile, "This is just the beginning. The speed will only get faster and the pace will become more urgent."
Then Yang Xiaotao solemnly said, "That's why we need people like you to keep the steering wheel steady!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Gang quickly waved his hand and then said, "I know my own limitations."
"I will persevere in whatever I can do."
"Even if I were asked to do something I'm not capable of, I wouldn't dare!"
Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "Abilities are developed through practice!"
"Let's go eat first!"
Liang Zuoxin, who was standing nearby, also stepped forward to greet them, and the three of them left the office together and went to the reception room.
After lunch, Yang Xiaotao asked Liang Zuoxin to arrange accommodation for Zhao Gang, while he continued to work on organizing documents in his office.
Yang Xiaotao did not leave the office until evening.
After a busy day, both notebooks were full, and I finally finished organizing the data.
I stretched and yawned before putting the two laptops into the system space.
He got up and walked home.
When I went outside, the snow had stopped, and everything around me was a white expanse.
During dinner, the family gathered together to celebrate the arrival of New Year's Day and then bid farewell to it amidst laughter and joy.
The next day, after Yang Xiaotao arrived at the Ninth Division, he introduced Zhao Gang to Liu Huaimin and the others.
When Lao Hong saw Zhao Gang, both of their eyes lit up.
Yang Youning and Chen Gong, however, looked more serious when they saw Zhao Gang.
Because of the overstaffing, they heard rumors that there would be changes in the top leadership of the Ninth Department.
They initially thought it was just Liu Huaimin going to the First Ministry of Machine Building, so they didn't pay much attention.
Unexpectedly, they were also involved.
In fact, their status has risen with the tide over the years, and this rise has naturally influenced their mindset.
Perhaps this is why your butt gets a little itchy after sitting for a long time.
In some matters, the two of them have lost the determination they once had.
This is precisely why a series of subsequent events occurred.
The two of them felt uneasy, after all, no one in the Nine Departments was irreplaceable.
If there is one, it is only one: Yang Xiaotao.
However, since it had already happened, the two of them had no other choice but to hope that they could get through this easily and not make a scene.
After the introductions, Yang Xiaotao called Li Hongfeng and Liu Huaimin to his office, and the three of them sat down.
"Old Li, Old Liu, let's talk about the work arrangements for the future."
Yang Xiaotao poured water for the two of them and then explained the situation directly.
Li Hongfeng is the first secretary of the Ninth Department, in charge of personnel and discipline.
Yang Xiaotao couldn't avoid Zhao Gang when making arrangements for him.
Liu Huaimin was the second secretary and an important decision-maker. In addition, he was going to the First Ministry of Machine Building later, so his opinions were also very important.
The two were not surprised to hear Yang Xiaotao's words, after all, they could tell what Yang Xiaotao was thinking when he introduced Zhao Gang earlier today.
The difference is that neither of them could figure out Yang Xiaotao's plans.
Just as the two nodded, Yang Xiaotao continued, "By the way, I want to reorganize the management team. Some positions need to be separated, and some people need to be reassigned."
After saying this, the two of them lost their previous composure.
Reorganizing the top management is no simple task.
You have to understand, the Ninth Department is currently on the rise. If nothing goes wrong, that's fine, but if problems arise, the first thing that will be blamed is personnel changes.
Li Hongfeng pondered for a moment before speaking, "Xiao Yang, you said you'd rearrange things, but what exactly do you mean by rearranging them?"
Liu Huaimin also showed a serious expression.
The whole country is now watching the Ninth Department, and he is well aware that the Ninth Department has become a veritable locomotive, with the other departments relying on it to drive their progress.
Once train number nine stops, the trains behind it will be in chaos.
The nine departments must not be allowed to cause any trouble.
Yang Xiaotao didn't say anything, but simply took a piece of paper out of his pocket and placed it on the table.
Li Hongfeng immediately picked it up, opened it, glanced at it, and then his expression froze.
Liu Huaimin craned his neck to take a look, and his eyes narrowed.
Although only two more names were added to the paper, many changes were made.
First, the system regulations and internal audit work that he, as the second secretary, was in charge of was split up: the regulations were given to Lao Hong, and the internal audit was given to the newly arrived Zhao Gang.
This is nothing, after all, Old Wang from the First Ministry of Machine Building had approached me, and my superiors had also considered this matter.
Once these two individuals divided the power, even if a second secretary was later transferred in, it would only be a figurehead.
Liu Huaimin glanced at Yang Xiaotao and knew in his heart that Yang Xiaotao had done this on purpose.
But this is good, it saves us from getting mixed in with the sand, which has happened before.
Then Xu Yuanshan returned to headquarters, which surprised him somewhat, yet was also reasonable.
He knew Xu Yuanshan's stubborn temper, and more importantly, Xu Yuanshan was Yang Xiaotao's former superior, and the two had a good relationship.
He has the ability and can unite people, so he has no reason to refuse.
However, this guy didn't take over Lao Hong's logistics department; instead, he took over Yang Youning's administrative department.
Yang Youning then took over Chen Gong's publicity work.
In the end, Chen Gong returned to the logistics department after going around in circles.
In other words, in the end, only Yang Youning and Chen Gong were transferred.
Liu Huaimin glanced at Yang Xiaotao and knew in his heart that this was dissatisfaction with the two of them working.
Especially Yang Youning, who has been neglecting his administrative duties lately and focusing on organizing the volleyball league, which is the job of the publicity department.
Now that's good, Yang Xiaotao has let him go back to his old profession, which can be considered 'making the best use of him'.
And then there's Old Chen, who hasn't been able to shake off his lazy habits these past two years.
The recent surge in redundant staff and tasks mostly occurred in administration and logistics. While it might be unfair to blame the two individuals, it was certainly a dereliction of duty on their part.
Ugh!
If these two weren't thinking about the days they worked hard together, they probably wouldn't be making adjustments this time, they would just leave.
It seems Yang Xiaotao still cherishes old feelings and is giving the two a chance.
The hope is that the two of them can seize the opportunity.
