Revival Road

Chapter 228
Five minutes before leaving get off work in the afternoon, Li Zhibin was called into the room by Tao Tang.

He thought there was some document for him to deal with, but it didn't look like it.The three folders on the boss's desk are neatly stacked.

"Sit down," Tao Tang pointed to the swivel chair in front of the desk.

Li Zhibin didn't sit down.That's not where he sits, and ordinary middle-level managers don't dare to sit on that chair. Only when company leaders, deputy chief managers, and senior middle-level managers come to talk about things, will they sit opposite the boss.

"If you are told to sit, you can sit down. It is difficult to talk standing up." Tao Tang said, "If there is no rush after get off work, I would like to take a few minutes of your time..."

Li Zhibin sat down carefully.He gets off work much later than the average person every day, and he always waits for the boss to leave before he comes in to clean up the teacups and ashtrays, and checks the windows before leaving.The boss likes to open the windows. Even in winter, he always opens the windows for a while to let in air.

"You said, I'm fine."

"Xiao Li, you have been with me for seven or eight months... What do you think if I change your position?"

Li Zhibin felt the blood rushed to the top of his head!But he calmed down quickly, "Mr. Tao, I don't want to change units, I am willing to follow you."

"This is not the truth." Tao Tang looked at his secretary who was blushing, "Xiao Li, you have many advantages, but you also have many shortcomings. I don't know if you have heard the saying, 'Knowing others is wise, and knowing oneself is wise. What do you mean by "the one who overcomes others is stronger, and the one who overcomes oneself is strong"? That is to say, it is more difficult to understand oneself than to understand others, and the one who overcomes oneself is the strong one. Tell me, what are your shortcomings?"

Li Zhibin became nervous, why did he ask about shortcomings?But he still replied, "I have many shortcomings, poor learning ability, and not strict requirements on myself..."

Tao Tang smiled gently, "I think what you said is wrong. As far as your peers are concerned, your learning ability is not weak, and you are also very strict with yourself."

"Mr. Tao, come and point out my shortcomings...I promise to correct it."

"When you answered my question just now, you have already exposed your shortcomings. Well, let me point it out to you. It may be that you have been a secretary for a long time. You are used to trying to figure out the intention of the leader, and you always want to know the intention of the leader. , take the leader’s intentions as a guide for your own actions. It’s okay to be a secretary. But if you take on other jobs, this is a shortcoming, and it’s a serious shortcoming. You can’t really grasp the leadership’s intentions, who You can’t. Instead of doing that, it’s better to go straight.”

Li Zhibin's face turned red again.Go straight?Why go straight?How many people can go straight?

"Some abilities can be improved through acquired learning, but I think the more important ability is the cultivation of moral character. Generally speaking, people with high moral character have more opportunities. I know you like to read books, especially books about tactics But the greatest strategy is to have no strategy, just like the martial arts novels advocated that there is no strategy to win without strategy is the most powerful. In the real world, people with high moral character may encounter setbacks, but they are more likely to get opportunities. Because of high moral character A good leader likes subordinates with high morals, while a leader with flaws in morality prefers subordinates with high morals, people always like to calculate others but don't like others to calculate, right?"

Li Zhibin was unable to answer the call.Does he think there is something wrong with my moral character?Li Zhibin was thinking nervously.At this time his cell phone rang, probably it was Chen Yan, he reached into his trouser pocket and picked up the phone.He made an agreement with Chen Yan that as long as he cut off the phone, it meant he had something to do with Tao Tang, and she would stop calling.

"Xiao Chen is looking for you, right? Well, let's just talk about it. By the way, when will you and Xiao Chen's happy event be held? Has the date been set?"

"It's fixed, it will be on New Year's Day..."

"Oh, that's coming soon... Are you ready?"

"I don't have any preparations... My family has cleaned up a new house for me. I rented a small house in the factory, and it's already cleaned up..."

"I'm afraid it's all up to Xiao Chen. Marriage is a big event, so you should make good preparations." Tao Tang thought for a while, "It's nothing serious these few days. I'll give you three days off, so you can get busy with your marriage. You I am a party member, but not a leading cadre, so I still have to invite guests, and I will go to the wedding banquet when the time comes."

"Thank you Mr. Tao, you don't need to rest, it's almost done..."

"It's settled like this! You can rest tomorrow. Just tell Director Zhu and ask him to arrange a secretary to follow. Okay, that's it, get off work."

Tao Tang stood up, and Li Zhibin hurriedly stood up, "There's no need to clean up, let's go." Tao Tang went out.

Li Zhibin didn't leave. He thought for ten minutes alone in Tao Tang's office, and then began to do a big cleaning. Finally, he sorted out the documents Tao Tang ordered. It was already [-]:[-] when he left the office. He didn't go back to the dormitory. Although he had a lot to say to his fiancée, he went directly to Zhu Ning's house.

"Director, I have something to report to you..." Li Zhibin weighed his words and reported to Zhu Ning that Tao Tang forced him to rest for three days.But he didn't mention Tao Tang's plan to change his guard.

"That's it..." Zhu Ning pondered, Li Zhibin's position is quite special, not everyone can take that position, even if it is a temporary replacement.

"I should have given this vacation... This is Mr. Tao's criticism in disguise." Zhu Ning said slowly, "The main reason is that you have a special position and cannot do without... tell me, who is suitable?"

Li Zhibin shook his head and said nothing.

"I think it's good, let Chen Yan take the lead. Recently, Chen Yan has asked for leave a few times, and I think she has almost done all the things that should be done... You can concentrate on private affairs, the sooner the better. The end of the year , There are too many things, and there will be more meetings, try to balance public and private interests.”

Li Zhibin couldn't laugh or cry.What is this called?I rest but don't let Chen Yan rest?Is there such an inhumanity?But he couldn't object, "Director, is this inappropriate?"

"What's inappropriate? Isn't it just a temporary stay for a few days? Well, you said it's inappropriate. After you get married, you have some problems in the same unit. The main reason is that the position is special. I'm here to ask the leader for instructions... You haven't eaten yet How about you just eat something at my place?"

"No need. Chen Yan is still waiting..."

"Okay, tell her, you must explain clearly what needs to be done. Mr. Tao hates procrastination, and Chen Yan is not as good as you in this regard. You should remind her to do it immediately."

"I'll explain to her." Li Zhibin observed Zhu Ning, hoping to hear or see some kind of expression from Zhu Ning, but he didn't.This made him a little disappointed, and then he thought that the "agent" hat on Zhu Ning hadn't been taken off, and guessed that Tao Tang must not have disclosed his work issues to Zhu Ning.

After Li Zhibin left Zhu Ning's house, he first called Chen Yan and asked Chen Yan if she had eaten. After receiving a negative answer, he said, "Let's go out for a while. I just have something important to tell you. You are in East China." Wait for me at the door, I'll go straight over."

On the way to the east gate, Li Zhibin thought about how to explain Chen Yan's three-day temporary work, but found that there was nothing to explain. According to his observation, Chen Yan is doing very well now, and some "shortcomings" in the past have been basically overcome. With a pen, she is much better than herself.If Chen Yan can replace him after he leaves, it will be a very good result.But he immediately thought that with Tao Tang's personality, he might not use a female secretary.Moreover, Chen Yan's age is not appropriate, and she will soon face pregnancy and childbearing problems... Who will be selected?Li Zhibin began to figure out how many people in the secretary team...

When he arrived at the East Factory Gate, Chen Yan, who was wearing an orange down jacket, was already waiting there. He waved to Chen Yan, and immediately called a "black" taxi.

The "black" rentals waiting for customers at the east gate are all factory employees, especially those from labor companies. Not only will they not kill customers, but they are also cheaper than playing watches.

"Where are you going?" The middle-aged driver turned his head and asked a young man and a woman sitting in the back row.

"Let's go to Youth Road..."

"Twenty dollars."

"Okay, let's go."

Chen Yan asked, "Is there a meeting? It's so late? Doesn't it seem like the boss has a meeting today?"

"No, it's something else."

In front of the driver, Chen Yan stopped asking.Half an hour later, they had already sat in a Sichuan-flavored hot pot restaurant. Li Zhibin asked for the menu, but Chen Yan stopped him, "What's the matter? Tell me first."

"A dog's nose is really good."

"You are the dog! Tell me, what did you do just now!" Chen Yan took off her down jacket.

"Okay, okay, let me explain. Mr. Tao gave me three days off, and Secretary Zhu wants you to support me for three days."

"Give you a holiday? Why?"

"Boss Tao talked to me once, he might be planning to move me..." After a long time with the leader, I learned some idioms unconsciously.

"Move you?" Chen Yan was overjoyed, "Is it true? Where do you want to go? Promote you on the spot?"

"I don't know. Maybe not... Hey, the leader didn't say he wanted to mention me..." Li Zhibin looked at his girlfriend Ao Ting's **** with a smile.

"Where are you looking? Stinky thing... What did Mr. Tao tell you? I'm so anxious!" Chen Yan was really anxious about the future of her fiancé (in fact, the two had already obtained the certificate).

"Okay, I'll explain, everything..." So Li Zhibin reported to Chen Yan what Tao Tang had talked with him and Zhu Ning's decision.

"Boss Tao didn't say he was going to mention you..." Chen Yan was disappointed again.

"If it is a general transfer, Tao Tang will not talk to me specifically. With his level, how can he do the matter of making a wish? There is a 90.00% certainty of promotion. There is no need to worry about this. Everyone knows that there will be a big mobilization of the team at the end of the year. Didn't you notice how panicked the central cadres are all day long?"

"Which unit will you be sent to?"

"The possibility of going to the grassroots is very high. The more he values ​​me, the higher the probability of going to the grassroots. According to my understanding of Mr. Tao, he pays special attention to the experience of grassroots work. The weight is not comparable to that of the leaders of grassroots business units."

"I hope you will be promoted on the spot..."

"impossible!"

"because I?"

"There must be this factor. Hey, I want you to give me advice. Mr. Tao said that when it comes to morality, does he think that my morality is not good?"

This is a deadly question.Chen Yan frowned and thought for a while, "Could it be that he thinks you are too old?"

"Am I old?"

"Not mature yet? Make yourself look like a little old man..." Chen Yan thought, sophistication is synonymous with sophistication, maybe Tao Tang thinks what is hidden under the sophistication of his fiancé?But she didn't say it directly.

"It makes sense... But I still don't understand Mr. Tao's meaning," Li Zhibin said in deep thought, "I will rest tomorrow, you arrange the tasks for me, and I will do it suddenly. I will explain your work for the past three days to you." Next, you have to remember..."

"Don't show off, I understand your things." Chen Yan looked at Li Zhibin charmingly, "Do you want me to congratulate you?"

"Don't mention congratulations! Don't be careless. Don't look at you who have been working for several years. You are different from other leaders and him!" Li Zhibin began to explain the precautions to Chen Yan in detail.
