Sail across the sea

Chapter 321 It's not all your fault

After talking about the business situation, Gao Fan turned the conversation to the main purpose of this trip, which was to arrange for his sister Gao Min to work at the Xinglong Paint Factory.

"I have discussed this with Xingquan. After Sister Gao comes, she can be the executive deputy director of the factory and will be in charge of all matters." Chen Linfa was the first to express his opinion.

Gao Fan had already discussed this matter with the Chen father and son over the phone before leaving for Cangtang, so Chen Linfa made such an arrangement.

"Uncle Chen, just call me Gao Min." Gao Min said a little awkwardly. The way Chen Linfa addressed her just now was indeed a little awkward.

"That's right, Uncle Chen, Brother Chen, just call me my sister's name. We will be spending a lot of time together in the future, so there's no need to be so distant." Gao Fan also said.

"Yeah, that's good." Chen Linfa nodded in response.

"Also, I am not suitable for the position of executive deputy factory director. I have never managed a company, so how can I be a deputy factory director?" Gao Min continued.

"That's definitely no problem." Chen Linfa said, "Your father is the director of the Canghai Fertilizer Factory. People say that a good father will have a good son, and you are also a good father and a good daughter. Our paint factory is less than 10% of the scale of your fertilizer factory. If I'm not worried that you are not familiar with the situation, I think it's okay for you to be my director."

Chen Xingquan also chimed in, "Yes, in fact, all the people working in our factory are farmers from the surrounding villages. My father never managed a factory before, but now he is forced to be the factory director. Look at your brother Gao Fan, he is so capable, you, as his sister, must be very capable too."

Gao Min was about to say something, but Gao Fan raised his hand to stop her, interrupting the Chen family father and son. He said, "Uncle Chen, Brother Chen, this is what I think. My sister went to a technical secondary school and studied accounting. She also has some family background in education. It will definitely be no problem for her to be a deputy director in the factory in the future.

"However, the timing is not right yet. After all, she has just graduated for more than a year, has never worked in a factory before, and is not familiar with the situation in Shuinan. It is not appropriate for her to directly serve as deputy director, especially executive deputy director.

"I want her to work in the finance department for a while first. She doesn't need to be assigned any specific position. She just needs to follow the original finance department to do accounting and get to know the factory situation. After a while, if possible, let her get involved in production, sales and other links. At that time, if you think she is capable, you can assign her a position to try her hand. What do you think?"

"It will be fine to work in the finance department for a while." Chen Linfa said, "We have two people in the finance department now. Gao Min will be the head of the finance department. The other two people will listen to her."

"That won't do." Gao Min waved her hands. "I can just be their apprentice. I can't be a section chief."

Gao Fan asked, "Uncle Chen, what are the identities of these two people in the financial department now?"

Chen Linfa said: "One is a retired accountant from the county's herbal medicine company. The other is my niece. She came back to farm after graduating from junior high school. She is about the same age as Gao Min."

"I see." Gao Fan nodded. "If that's the case, it would be appropriate for my sister to be the head of the financial department. However, the old accountant will definitely be in charge of the business. My sister can be considered his apprentice."

"Why?" Gao Min asked in surprise, "Why not let the old accountant be the chief financial officer? I can just help him." Chen Xingquan smiled and said, "Gao Min, private factories like ours in the countryside are different from your public factories. The people in charge here are all our relatives. You are the major shareholder of the paint factory. If I ask you to help the old accountant, I guess he won't dare to ask you to do anything."

"Is that so..." Gao Min looked at Gao Fan, and seeing that he had no objection, she nodded and agreed.

In her heart, she was somewhat apprehensive and also somewhat delighted about this arrangement. After all, having some power in a unit was better than starting from the bottom.

On the way to Shuinan, Gao Fan had already prepared her psychologically, telling her to have the awareness of being a major shareholder. Since her family owns half of the shares of this company, she does not need to please anyone here.

Next, Chen Xingquan talked about the arrangements for Gao Min's life. The Chen family had just built a four-story building, and they had vacated the best room for Gao Min to live in. The furniture and bedding were all brand new. In addition, they also arranged a girl to keep Gao Min company. This was the niece who worked in finance that Chen Linfa had just mentioned.

"Gao Fan, don't worry. Gao Min is here, just like one of our own. We will definitely not let her suffer any grievances." Chen Xingquan patted his chest and assured Gao Fan.

After accompanying Gao Min to visit her residence and inspecting the production situation of the paint factory, Gao Fan left Yanzhou and, accompanied by Chen Xingquan, came to the regional capital Renqiao and walked into a busy construction site.

"Gao Fan, you are finally here. We have been waiting for you for a long time."

Yu Guorong, the director of Chengda Plastic Factory, came forward and said in an exaggerated tone. Behind him, a man with a poker face followed. It was Pan Yue, the chief engineer of Shuinan Chemical Equipment Factory.

Gao Fan shook hands with Yu Guorong and exchanged greetings. Then he turned to Pan Yue, extended his hand, and said, "Chief Engineer Pan, long time no see. Thank you for your hard work."

Pan Yue looked at the hand Gao Fan extended to him, and seemed to be a little disgusted, but he finally shook hands with Gao Fan, and said unhappily: "Why are you so hard-working? It's all your fault."

Gao Fan knew Pan Yue's temper, so he would not argue with him. He asked, "Chief Engineer Pan, how is the equipment design going? Is there any problem?"

Hearing Gao Fan's question, Pan Yue got even more angry. He pointed at Yu Guorong and said, "You should ask Director Yu. Hey, we designed equipment for such a large factory and asked the Chemical Engineering Design Institute of the Ministry of Chemical Industry to do an appraisal. He just didn't believe it and said he wanted you to see it first. Now that you're here, I want to see what you can figure out."

"Chief Engineer Pan, you misunderstood. I have explained to you that I really did not mean that." Yu Guorong quickly came out to explain. From what he said, it seemed that this was not the first time Pan Yue had complained in front of him.

"The main thing is that it was Gao Fan who first recommended the small polyester to us, but we don't understand this thing. We also can't understand the appraisal report of the Chemical Engineering Design Institute. So we are just waiting for Gao Fan to come and explain it to us." Yu Guorong said with a smile.
