Who gave Yang Xiaotao the advice?
Chapter 2730 Who gave Yang Xiaotao the advice?
Yang Xiaotao drove back to the Ninth Division just in time for lunch.
Back at the Ninth Division, he realized he should have had dinner with Old Chen.
Since I brought gifts, I should be provided with a meal according to custom.
"loss."
As they were talking, Yang Xiaotao arrived at the cafeteria.
When Liu Lixue saw Yang Xiaotao return, she hurried back to the office to help get the lunchbox and prepare the food. Yang Xiaotao then carried the food to Lao Yang and Chen Gong and sat down next to them.
When the two saw Yang Xiaotao return, their faces didn't change much, but their hearts skipped a beat.
Why are you back at this time?
Yang Youning took the initiative to inquire, but Yang Xiaotao shook his head, "Don't even mention it. I was thinking of going to mooch off them, but Old Chen sent me back."
As he spoke, he began to shovel food into his mouth.
Upon learning that Yang Xiaotao had gone to see Old Chen, the two exchanged a glance. Then, Chen Gong casually asked, "Was everything alright with Old Chen?"
"It's alright. I brought up two things this time, and they agreed to both."
"Two things?"
Chen Gong then asked.
Yang Xiaotao didn't hide anything and immediately explained the personnel appointments and adjustments.
This was something we were bound to find out sooner or later; it doesn't make a difference whether we tell it sooner or later.
Moreover, it's always better to tell the two of them as soon as possible than to keep it a secret until the end.
Besides, it's a private setting like a meal, so it's convenient to talk about it.
"Old Yang, when Uncle Xu arrives, you should properly hand over the reins to him. Administrative work will be the focus going forward."
Yang Youning felt somewhat uncomfortable upon hearing about the job change.
But after hearing Yang Xiaotao say that, it became clear that administrative work was indeed not suitable for him.
Back when it was a small machinery factory, he was able to handle administrative matters using his 'personal charisma' and 'personal connections'.
But the Ninth Division is not as simple as a small factory; it involves many more aspects and has a larger factory.
This requires someone who is "official and businesslike".
It seems that Yang Xiaotao has chosen Xu Yuanshan.
Yang Youning had nothing to say about Lao Xu.
He's capable, honest, and the relationship between the two of them is quite good.
Yang Xiaotao, however, had even more in mind.
The functions of current administrative departments are greatly constrained by planned tasks. To complete a task, it is necessary to investigate the strength of downstream enterprises, coordinate resources of related industries, and only after the task is assigned can production be carried out.
This is how redundant staff and tasks come about.
It can be said that if administrative departments only think about following the established procedures and sticking to the old ways, redundant staff and cumbersome tasks will continue to occur.
Because the current system is fertile ground for bloated staff and redundant tasks.
To do something, you need to go through the process of submitting a report, getting it reviewed, issuing instructions, coordinating, and then starting production…
The process is lengthy and cumbersome.
We might have to travel all over the country...
For convenience and speed, more people are needed, which leads to redundant staff.
Yang Xiaotao didn't want his hard-won achievements to go to waste, so he had no choice but to change the current model.
And administrative work is of paramount importance.
To put it bluntly, Yang Xiaotao wanted to replace the previous task distribution mechanism with an administrative department, at least within the nine departments, by strengthening the functions of the administrative department, simplifying processes, and improving efficiency.
Therefore, this kind of deceptive practice must be carried out by a trustworthy and capable person.
So Yang Xiaotao thought of Xu Yuanshan.
Yang Xiaotao originally wanted Wang Guodong, but while Old Wang was methodical and would carry out his assigned tasks diligently, he lacked flexibility.
Therefore, Xu Yuanshan became the best choice.
"Okay, don't worry, I will hand it over properly."
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Not only do you need to teach, but you also need to handle the publicity. You and Uncle Chen need to make a good handover."
"Next year, the women's volleyball league will be expanded, and we will strive to establish a volleyball team in all the factories of our Ninth Division."
"This will help increase the visibility of our Ninth Department."
"Also, we can use the radio for narration, which will also help promote our Ninth Division."
At this point, Yang Youning even put down his chopsticks; publicity work was one of his strengths.
"If you bring this up, I'll get really excited."
He then proceeded to explain in detail, "The current volleyball league is limited by the participation of only women. I plan to introduce men's volleyball and mixed-gender competitions to create a comprehensive system."
"Wait a minute, I haven't told you my arrangements yet."
Seeing that Lao Yang was getting out of control, Chen Gong interrupted him and then looked at Yang Xiaotao, "I'm not still in logistics, am I?"
Yang Xiaotao smiled and nodded, "Yes, congratulations, you've even managed to answer first!"
Chen Gong pursed his lips and poked his chopsticks twice into the lunchbox. "I knew it."
Although I said that, I felt relieved.
At least they're still at the headquarters of the Ninth Department.
Moreover, publicity work is really not suitable for him. Don't be fooled by his familiarity with this person or his connections with that person; publicity is not something that can be done simply by being familiar with them.
Adding to his woes, Old Yang, who was always idle and didn't do any proper work, came along and tried to take his job, making things really difficult for him.
On the contrary, logistics work is his old profession, and with a capable person like Lao Hong by his side, he can learn more and it will definitely be better than before.
"You're doing what you used to do."
Yang Xiaotao smiled, then lowered his voice and said, "This time I went to negotiate with Old Chen. As long as we produce good results in the future, Old Chen will increase the rebate by one percent."
"Uncle Chen, you're going to be very busy from now on."
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Chen Gong's eyes widened immediately.
With the capabilities of the Nine Departments, even a one percent increase in rebates could amount to nine figures in a month.
Just imagine having a large extra income each month...
This logistical work is absolutely of paramount importance.
Yang Xiaotao wasn't dissatisfied with him; he was about to entrust him with an important task.
He's entrusted with an important task!
For a moment, Chen Gong was filled with excitement.
Yang Youning, who was standing next to him, could also feel his old friend's excitement and couldn't help but pick up his chopsticks and take a piece of meat from Chen Gong's lunchbox.
Yes, happy things should be shared.
Chen Gong, however, didn't notice and kept staring at Yang Xiaotao. "Really?"
"Of course, Old Chen personally agreed, there's no doubt about it."
Yang Xiaotao looked certain.
Of course, Mr. Chen made this promise on a condition.
However, in Yang Xiaotao's opinion, what kind of condition is this? Their Ninth Division is meant to develop, how can they be complacent and stagnant!
Chen Gong took a deep breath, then put down his chopsticks just like Yang Youning, and rubbed his hands together in anticipation.
"Don't worry, we will definitely not hold you back in terms of logistics from now on."
"Anyone who dares to mess around will be dealt with personally." Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotao smiled and nodded without saying anything more.
Some things can't be just heard; you also have to see them.
Once they calmed down, the food tasted exceptionally good when they ate again.
Chen Gong was puzzled. He had clearly ordered a meat dish but hadn't eaten more than a few bites. How could it have been gone?
He wondered if the pork purchased by the logistics department was less than usual, or if there was something fishy going on.
He further decided that once he took over the management of logistics, he would definitely reorganize everything.
We absolutely cannot repeat what happened before.
The three quickly finished their meal. Yang Xiaotao cleared the chopsticks and said, "I'm going to find Lao Li and the others first."
"Alright, go ahead!"
Yang Youning wanted to talk to Chen Gong, but Yang Xiaotao got up and left.
"Old Chen, this time, we can't do it the same way as before."
Yang Youning lowered his voice and spoke seriously.
Chen Gong nodded.
He then said cautiously, "Can you tell? This adjustment is quite significant!"
"Especially Lao Liu, once he left, his power was immediately split in two. What do you think a new secretary could do if he came?"
Yang Youning closed the lunchbox. "What are you doing?"
"It would be best if you didn't have to do anything; you could get political achievements just by lying down."
"If someone gives incompetent orders, that would be disastrous!"
At this point, both of them thought of one person.
The two then shook their heads simultaneously, and Chen Gong cautiously asked, "Can you tell whose work this was?"
Yang Youning stretched his hips, then said meaningfully, "I reckon it was either Elder Chen's instruction or Elder Huang's idea!"
"Mr. Chen?"
"Elder Huang?"
Yang Youning nodded. "Old Liu" doesn't have those kinds of thoughts, and Old Li isn't that kind of person."
"Who do you think it could be? It must be someone from above giving advice!"
"This is also for the sake of the stability of the Nine Departments!"
Chen Gong also thought it made sense, and then took a deep breath, "No matter what, it's a good thing for us."
Yang Youning nodded, "Although there are more people, the responsibilities are also clearer."
"We're all doing what we're good at, so it's a good thing, right?"
As he spoke, Yang Youning prepared to get up and leave.
Chen Gong also got up and walked out, but after taking only two steps, he suddenly asked, "Have we forgotten something?"
"Forgot something?"
Yang Youning asked curiously, while Chen Gong counted on his fingers, "Except for Liang Zuoxin who doesn't count, there's Lao Li, Lao Hong, and the newly arrived Lao Zhao, plus you, and me..."
After counting them, Chen Gong and the other man suddenly looked up.
Yang Youning then spoke directly, "Wang Guodong!"
The two fell silent again and then walked out in silence.
This guy really has no presence.
Yet this person, who has such an inconspicuous presence, remains firmly in control, his position secure.
After returning to his office, Yang Xiaotao waited for a while before calling Liu Huaimin and Li Hongfeng to his office in the afternoon. He then took out the documents and showed them to them.
After confirming that there was nothing else going on, the two prepared to announce the appointment at a later time.
Of course, relevant personnel should make preparations in advance.
Li Hongfeng personally negotiated with Zhao Gang, while Liu Huaimin handled Xu Yuanshan's case.
As for the selection of the chemical plant director after Xu Yuanshan's departure, Liu Huaimin suggested that Xu Yuanshan make his own recommendation, and if possible, appoint him directly.
The two moved quickly, and when Yang Xiaotao got off work, he saw Zhao Gang following behind Li Hongfeng, chatting and laughing. When he saw Yang Xiaotao, he took the initiative to greet him.
The only change is that the title is no longer "Little Yang" but "Department Head Yang".
"Director Yang, you've assigned me a very challenging job!"
Zhao Gang smiled, feeling very satisfied with his job.
Internal Audit Department.
To put it bluntly, it's just a supervisory body.
His previous job also had this aspect, which gave him more confidence.
"No challenge, no progress!"
"Besides, how could such a small matter possibly stump you, Political Commissar Zhao?"
Yang Xiaotao joked, then looked at Li Hongfeng and said, "Old Zhao, I can guarantee to Secretary Li that you are the best candidate."
"Don't make me look bad later!"
Li Hongfeng, standing to the side, shook his head with a smile, and Zhao Gang felt a warmth in his heart.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely do this job well!"
"Then I'll give you lots of guidance in the future!"
Yang Xiaotao clasped his hands in a fist salute, with a smirk on his face.
Zhao Gang had a strange feeling that the young man in front of him resembled his old partner.
"Secretary Li, have you arranged an office and accommodation for Lao Zhao?"
Yang Xiaotao turned his head and asked, and Li Hongfeng nodded, "The meeting room is right next to the small meeting room. Accommodation will be in the staff quarters for now, but we'll arrange new accommodations once family members arrive. A vehicle has been arranged, and we're looking for a driver..."
"Let me say a few words. I, Zhao Gang, came here to work, not to enjoy myself. You don't need to make so many arrangements. Just having a place to stay is enough. I don't need anyone to serve me; I can manage on my own..."
Zhao Gang interrupted from the side, his face serious.
Yang Xiaotao was taken aback by Lao Zhao's sudden interruption, but wasn't this the stubborn Lao Zhao?
It would be strange if he didn't tell.
Li Hongfeng, who was standing to the side, was quite satisfied with what he heard.
This person is just my type.
From now on, I will have a like-minded comrade.
Unlike Yang Xiaotao, who has been corrupted by Lao Yang and the others!
"Well, let's get the office set up first, and we can take care of the rest later!"
Yang Xiaotao tried to smooth things over, and Li Hongfeng gave him a meaningful smile.
Zhao Gang nodded in agreement. "That's it! Give me a cot, and I'll stay in the office!"
He chuckled as he spoke.
Yang Xiaotao chuckled and said, "Old Li, you can make the arrangements. I'm off now!"
Li Hongfeng nodded, then said to Zhao Gang, "Come on, I'll go arrange an office for you."
Zhao Gang was delighted and followed them toward the office building.
I drank with my younger brother and his friends last night, and I got really drunk. I forgot everything. I'm so sorry. I'll make it up to you today.
