Chapter 2381
Demanding Talent
It's incredibly difficult for a young person to make a difference in today's stagnant workplace.
He Yuzhu has made a name for himself in the workplace.
This is not because he holds a high position.
Instead, he found his own little world.
Above him, tall figures held up the sky for him; below, giant turtles carried the earth for him.
Even so, He Yuzhu still strives to find a balance through compromise.
Of course, if he doesn't want to, he can tear this sky apart at any time.
That's because he has a way out; he doesn't care about the title of principal.
Just as he told He Ping, if He Ping didn't play chess, he could do many other things that interested him.
He is the same; he has many choices.
But someone like Ma Aiguo certainly can't compare to him.
For most people, their career is their workplace.
Since taking office as the director of Nanluoguxiang, Xiao Chen has implemented reforms to the factories under the jurisdiction of the subdistrict office.
But these days, even if he wanted to reform, the力度 (intensity/scale) wouldn't be too great.
Besides, the top leader has already applied for retirement. Although he is still in Beijing, the tea has definitely cooled down a bit.
If it's a personal matter, people will definitely be willing to give him face.
But since it concerns the development of a collective enterprise, I doubt anyone would be willing to give them face.
Therefore, Comrade Xiao Chen's reforms have now been somewhat reversed.
It's okay if he retreats, but it leaves those who fought for him, like Gou Dan, completely disoriented.
That's just how things are.
In the workplace, favorable timing, location, and interpersonal relationships are all indispensable for career development.
However, if He Yuzhu wants to use Gou Dan for his own purposes, he still needs to inform Xiao Chen about it.
You can tell from the wrinkles on Comrade Chen's forehead that he hasn't been doing very well lately.
When Xiao Chen saw He Yuzhu, he bowed, stretched out his hands, and took the initiative to shake He Yuzhu's hands.
The meaning is clear: he truly understands the difference between himself and He Yuzhu now.
Although He Yuzhu is just the principal of a college, he cannot be compared with the street director who is in charge of more than 100,000 people.
But He Yuzhu can touch the stars, and wherever he goes, others have to give him face.
Even in this one advantage, Xiao Chen can't compare.
"Principal He, welcome, welcome!" Comrade Chen said rather humbly.
He Yuzhu smiled and shook hands with him before saying, "Director Chen, I'm quite an unwelcome guest this time."
"Since you've come uninvited, you must want something from me."
"Hahaha……
"As long as it's available in Nanluoguxiang, Principal He can just ask." Comrade Chen's words were full of generosity.
He Yuzhu didn't mince words with this guy. He first exchanged a few polite words with Xiao Chen, and then went on to talk about the recent situation of the higher-ups.
Then He Yuzhu dropped his fake smile and said seriously, "...That's the situation now, Director Chen, I won't stand on ceremony with you."
What I'm lacking right now is management talent, and I think Ma Aiguo would be a good fit for that position.
Given the current state of the street factory, Director Chen, your primary task now is to maintain the status quo.
As long as you maintain the current situation, your achievements will eventually be recognized by those above you within three, five, or ten years.
So, Comrade Ma Aiguo, now, is not an asset to you, but a liability.
……
I hope you can part with it!
Just as He Yuzhu finished speaking, Comrade Xiao Chen had made him some tea and lit his cigarette, then returned to his desk with a smile.
Everything was arranged so perfectly.
It's like a play rehearsal. But these are also everyday occurrences in the workplace.
Control the rhythm of your speech.
Visiting a guest involves a few minutes of small talk, a few minutes of actual content, and then a few minutes of back-and-forth...
After the conversation ends, there's a lot of polite conversation, and considerations are given to whether or not to invite them for a meal or drinks.
However, He Yuzhu wasn't used to that. Otherwise, he should have waited until Comrade Chen had made him some tea and exchanged pleasantries before discussing these important matters.
Comrade Xiao Chen frowned, crossed his arms, and pretended to be troubled but also considering the matter.
Out of the corner of his eye, he kept his eyes fixed on He Yuzhu's location.
There must be a reason for this.
Although He Yuzhu is not used to workplace power struggles, it is no longer a problem for someone like him.
It's a very simple statement: Xiao Chen's potential has already been determined.
Just like He Yuzhu said, Xiao Chen will definitely sit here in Nanluoguxiang for at least five years, and at most, who knows.
It could very well be a lifetime.
That means this position is probably the ceiling for him in his entire life.
Therefore, He Yuzhu could face Xiao Chen with a half-smile, without letting Xiao Chen see his true thoughts.
“I have no objection. It is our honor that Principal He has taken a liking to our outstanding cadres from Nanluoguxiang.”
I personally admire what you have done over the past few years, Principal He.
It's just that there's no opportunity; otherwise, I would have been thinking of doing something practical with you.
If Comrade Ma Aiguo is personally willing to go to your area, I will certainly allow him to pass. ..."
"I haven't talked to him yet; I definitely need to communicate with Director Chen first."
"Let's not talk about anything else, even from the perspective of the higher-ups, we're not outsiders." That's all He Yuzhu wanted to say today.
He wasn't afraid of offending Xiao Chen, nor was he afraid of offending the big boss.
However, in the workplace, one should not do things like discarding a donkey after it has served its purpose.
Maintaining friendships with past "friends" and not becoming arrogant after suddenly gaining a high position is the norm in the workplace.
To put it bluntly, it's like how the richer and more powerful a person is, the more humble they are when they speak.
Similar meaning.
Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Comrade Xiao Chen smiled, but this time it wasn't just a polite smile.
His eyes met He Yuzhu's, and there was a hint of sincerity in them.
"I'm all set!" Director Chen confirmed firmly.
He Yuzhu nodded, stood up, and said as he shook hands with him, "Then I'll talk to Xiao Ma."
I wonder if he'd even be willing to come to my little temple!
"Hahaha……
Principal He, if he doesn't want to go, I will.
"I also want to manage a company with annual profits of tens of millions!" Comrade Chen smiled broadly, his eagerness evident in his words.
He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "This company isn't very big; at most, it's only in the millions."
Its influence is limited to the area surrounding Beijing at most.
However, if managed well, this company could potentially expand into the electronics and semiconductor sectors in the future.
He Yuzhu's words were absolutely true.
How many places can a digital watch be used in?
He Yuzhu can reduce costs to below ten yuan, while others can reduce them to six or five yuan.
So even if this factory opens, it will only be able to operate in a few cities in northern Hebei and between Beijing and the capital.
Other areas are definitely not affected by the radiation. (End of Chapter)
