Chapter 64: The Secretary Candidate (2)

  Director Gu's forehead suddenly broke out in cold sweat, and it wasn't until this moment that he realized he had made a very serious mistake when recommending the secretary to Lin Hongfei: subconsciously, he still didn't quite regard Lin Hongfei as his superior.

  This matter is too serious!

  What's even more astonishing is that Director Gu discovered Lin Hongfei's reaction to the secretary matter was not at all like a rookie, but rather like someone who had been a leader for many years. He was very clear about what kind of secretary he wanted and what kind of secretary met his requirements. But how could this be possible? Didn't this kid just start interning this year? How could he have achieved this level?

  Dongfang Xiaoling looked at Lin Hongfei with a hint of surprise, somewhat puzzled as to why Lin Hongfei seemed to look down on both Fan Wenyuan and Cai Jingzhong. Both were decent people, after all! Apparently, however, Lin Hongfei had his own reasons for doing so. Dongfang Xiaoling found it strange, but at this moment she wouldn't ask why.

  "It was I who didn't think it through," Director Gu furrowed his brow, carefully considering for several minutes before slowly saying, "Then... Comrade Cao Jun, who is in charge of information dissemination?"

  Cao Jun, who is in charge of information dissemination? Lin Hongfei immediately thought of this comrade. Cao Jun was a vocational school graduate assigned to the factory two years ago. At that time, vocational school graduates were still very popular, but because Cao Jun's family was from a rural area and had no connections or background in the city, no one thought of promoting him. For these few years, he has been doing information dissemination work in the office. If nothing unexpected happens, it is estimated that he will continue to do this job in the future. Cao Jun, who comes from a rural area, usually doesn't talk much and keeps his mouth shut. Lin Hongfei has never heard Cao Jun gossip about anyone's family affairs, but he works very diligently and receives people and things with courtesy, yet is neither arrogant nor condescending... It was him!

  The leader's secretary, being able to help the leader pour tea, fetch water, carry bags and open car doors is just a basic skill, anyone with a little bit of eyesight can do it, but whether the mouth is strict or not is a very important issue. Cao Jun fully met Lin Hongfei's requirements, so he smiled and said, "Good, let's go with Little Cao."

  Director Gu let out a sigh of relief: It's really not easy to serve leaders well.

  After chatting for a while, feeling that the time was almost up, Lin Hongfei and Dongfang Xiaoling proposed to bid farewell. Before leaving, they repeatedly reminded Gu Guangming to take good care of his injury and not to work until he had fully recovered. Lin Hongfei even hinted to Gu Guangming that he didn't need to worry about his position, and when he returned, he would still be the office director of the municipal motorcycle manufacturing plant, in order to reassure Gu Guangming's heart. Gu Guangming naturally nodded repeatedly to express his gratitude.

  …………………

  As soon as Lin Hongfei and Dongfang Xiaoling left, Gu Guangming instructed his wife, "Cuiping, hurry up and go borrow a phone from the hospital to call the factory and ask Xiao Cao to come over. I have something to instruct him."

  Wang Cuiping's face fell immediately, and she slammed the things in her hand onto the table, scolding, "Work, work, work... all day long you're thinking about work. Can't you think of anything else besides work? Your leg is broken, can't you just quietly rest and recover? Are you still thinking about work at this time?"

  Gu Guangming felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart, knowing that his wife was concerned about him. However, he thought to himself that women didn't understand these things and wouldn't know how important this matter was to him. Nevertheless, Gu Guangming had a way to "deal with" his wife. Facing Wang Cuiying's anger, he calmly said, "Cuiying, you should know that whether this matter can be handled well or not directly affects my position as the office director... Not to mention other things, do you still remember how many gifts we gave to Director Lao's family during Chinese New Year?"

  Gu Guangming said so, Wang Cui Ping had nothing to say. She naturally knew the benefits of being a leader. In the past, Gu Guangming was not a leader. Every time it was New Year's or a holiday, although his own family was also very tight, he still had to give gifts to the leaders. On the other hand, when it wasn't New Year's, the good things in the leaders' homes were endless, let alone the many benefits on ordinary days, such as being able to expense meals outside the factory, buying clothes and shoes that could be expensed through the factory account, etc., etc. If not for this unexpected turn of events, the position of office director originally had no chance of falling to her husband. But since he has already sat in this position, then what can't be said can't go down.

  "You're going to be the death of me..." Wang Cui Ping muttered to herself as she pulled open the door and walked out.

  Although it's a pity for the man in her own family, thinking that Old Gu wouldn't even need to get up, it's actually just letting Little Cao come over once, and it's not a big deal.

  ……………

  Cao Jun has been worried about his girlfriend's affairs these days.

  He graduated from a technical secondary school and has been working at the municipal motorcycle manufacturing plant for three years. Due to lack of connections, he has not been promoted despite doing more work than others. Last year, someone introduced him to a girl who also works in a unit in the city. After meeting, they felt okay about each other. After being together for almost a year, their parents urged them to settle down and get married.

  Things had been going so well, the two young people were together, planning to get married and have children, living happily ever after until old age. It was a perfect story, but then the girl's family made a request that left Cao Jun feeling very troubled.

  The woman asked Cao Jun to think of a way to prepare a set of wedding houses for marriage, and the house did not require a large area, as long as there was a house that could be married.

  Honestly speaking, the girl's family has made a reasonable request. We know that your motorcycle manufacturing factory is not in good condition, and we didn't ask for much dowry money either. It's just that you seem like a decent guy who can make a living, and our daughter agreed to marry you because she couldn't bear the hardship of being single. But after getting engaged, it won't take long before you get married, and at least you should have an apartment, right?

  Nowadays, houses are allocated by the work unit. As an ordinary office worker who has just worked for three years, I still share a dormitory with another comrade. A house of my own? The work unit is not doing well financially and needs government funding every year to survive. Even those old employees who have been married for many years are still living in tube-shaped buildings with their families of three or four people. What qualifications do I have to get a house allocated to me?
