Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 155 A major task, the gratitude of the Li sisters
"Leader, I guess...it's about the security work of the logistics department?"

After a long time, Xu Jichang tentatively opened his mouth, with some uncertainty in his voice.

Of course, this was only on the surface. In fact, he guessed Director Qian's intentions very early on, and said it so late on purpose out of respect for the leader.

Answering without thinking, of course, can make you look smart, but on the other hand, wouldn't it make the leader look stupid and be guessed by the subordinates at once?
"You're right, I just asked you to come here today for the security work of the logistics department."

When Director Qian said this, his expression gradually became serious, "Since the Security Section of the Logistics Department was disbanded, we have taken over all the security work on their side."

"However, judging from the current situation, there are still many unsatisfactory aspects of the security work of the logistics department."

"Material theft is not uncommon, and there are countless abnormal wear and tear, which makes people really worried. The factory leadership is also very dissatisfied with this."

"The reason, on the one hand, is that Zheng Xin's poor management during his tenure led to chaos in the security work of the logistics department. On the other hand, it is also because we have not been able to find a suitable person to take over after we took over."

"So after some consideration, I would like to ask if you have any intention of taking over the security work of the logistics department?"

Take over the security work of the logistics department?
When Xu Jichang heard these words, his heart skipped a beat.

This is no small matter.

You must know that the logistics department is the largest department in the whole factory. If it really takes over, then its jurisdiction will be expanded several times at once.

However, it must also be taken into consideration that precisely because of the large scale of the logistics department and the abundance of oil and water, it is not uncommon for internal gossip and robberies to happen. If you choose to take over, then you must be prepared for a heavy blow from the back...

……

Xu Jichang was lost in thought.

"Why, can't make up your mind?"

Director Qian saw that Xu Jichang was silent, so he asked with concern, "I know that it will take some effort to do a good job in the security work of the logistics department."

"So if you have the corresponding conditions, you can mention it to me."

Um?Do you allow yourself to make conditions?

Seeing Director Qian's statement, Xu Jichang stopped thinking and looked up at him:

"It's like this. The logistics department is too big. With the current staff of our department, I'm afraid it will be stretched."

"So if I want to take over the security work of the logistics department, the first thing to do is to expand the department."

"Hmm... Expansion? How many more people do you plan to expand?"

"At least 15 more."

"Another 15 people? Okay, I see..."

Director Qian rested his chin with his hands, obviously lost in thought.

Xu Jichang didn't rush him, but just waited quietly.

Anyway, Director Qian promised that he would take over the security work of the logistics department, which would greatly expand his territory and strength.

If you don't agree, you will say that you are short of staff and can't take over.

After all, defending such a large department is no joke.If there are mistakes in the work due to lack of manpower, he will be responsible at that time.

"Well, about the expansion of manpower..."

Behind the desk, Director Qian thought for a long time, finally adjusted his glasses with his hand, leaned back on the chair,
"Actually, I have thought about it in advance. If you are willing to take on this task, I will expand your manpower for you."

"However, adding fifteen people at once is still beyond my original expectation and beyond my authority."

"Of course I know that since you ask so, you must have your own reasons."

"How about this, I will make a report to the factory leadership and submit your application. If the factory approves, you will take over the logistics department. If it is not approved, I will not force you."

"Okay Director Qian, I need to trouble you again."

Xu Jichang agreed.

Director Qian raised his arm and waved his hand with a smile: "Where, I'm just making a report. If you can really get the approval, you will be the one who really needs to do the work later."

……

After leaving Director Qian's office, Xu Jichang went to the equipment storage office to collect several sticks and half a box of ammunition according to the original plan.

The management of guns and ammunition is very loose these days. You only need to issue a receipt to the factory storage department, and the bullets can be shipped back directly.

Including Xu Jichang, the section chief, there are seven regular workers in the entire heavy health department, and after Du Xiaojing who is engaged in back office work is removed, there are a total of six people with guns.

The amount of training per person per month is 20 rounds, Xu Jichang received a total of two months of training, a total of more than 200 rounds.

"When you see the people with guns in our department come back, remind them to come to me to get the bullets, if I wasn't there at the time."

Xu Jichang put the bullets in the space under his desk, and told Du Xiaojing, "40 rounds per person, and only Xiaoma and Xiaotian can take sticks."

Du Xiaojing was checking the materials in his hand, and nodded after listening: "Okay, remember."

After finishing speaking, she sorted out the materials in her hands and handed them to Xu Jichang.

Xu Jichang took the material and glanced at it: "Well, so-so."

So-so indeed.Du Xiaojing's writing skills are still passable, and the words and sentences can be fluent, but there is still a lot of distance from the real pen.

It's just that as a department clerk, you don't have to be so demanding.

Du Xiaojing himself was not happy: "Yeah, after working hard for a long time, I got such an evaluation."

"So-so, okay, anyway, you're the only clerical, and no one is competing with you."

Xu Jichang said seriously, "Besides, good horses die first. If you really write well, if you fail, you will be transferred to the factory office and the factory organization department to write materials every day."

"At that time, you will just wait to stay up late and work overtime every day."

hiss……

Not to mention, what he said really made sense.

After Xu Jichang said this, Du Xiaojing showed a look of enlightenment.

To be honest, she has a strong self-esteem, but she doesn't have the idea of ​​being famous.Compared to working hard in the so-called real power department, she still prefers the current state.

"you're right."

Du Xiaojing blinked, looked at Xu Jichang and said, "But what's the matter with the good horse dying first?"

"A good horse dies first. It's about a horse that was outstanding and ran fast. So everyone used it to fight horses on the battlefield when they were fighting. When sending letters, they drove the horse to go on the road. As a result, the horse died not long after."

Speaking of this, Xu Jichang lowered his voice, "Working in the unit is also the same principle. Look at those who are skilled in writing, which one is not being carried all day long to catch materials."

"In order to refresh themselves, which one of them doesn't drink strong tea every day, and two packs of cigarettes a day, can they have good health after a long time?"

"As for those who are as good at writing, they can take a leisurely rest. In terms of health, they are much better than them."

"You are right. I thought about it carefully just now, and it is indeed such a situation..."

Du Xiaojing listened to what Xu Jichang said, and said with admiration, "It's better that you observe well, I didn't notice this before."

"Well, pay more attention to nothing, there are many interesting things in the factory..."

Xu Jichang said.

At this moment, an officer on duty came back to get something, so he chose to end the conversation.

"Come on, Xiaotian, get the bullets and sticks. 40 rounds per person."

Xu Jichang yelled at this time.

"Okay, Chief Xu."

The officer trotted over quickly, and received the equipment as Xu Jichang said.

"Chief Xu, Director Gao has something to do with you, please come with me."

Not long after the security officer finished collecting the equipment and left, a secretary from the factory office came over again and said to Xu Jichang at the door.

"okay."

Xu Jichang got up from the table and left with the secretary.

He knew in his heart that it was probably because the expansion report typed up by Director Qian was believed, that's why the factory manager came to talk to him.

After Xu Jichang was behind, Du Xiaojing watched him leave quickly, and murmured in his heart: In the early morning, he saw the director and Uncle Gao again, so it must be something big...

After a while, Xu Jichang followed the secretary to Director Gao's office, and saw that Director Gao and Director Qian were already sitting inside.

"Hello, two leaders."

Xu Jichang came to Director Gao's desk and greeted Director Gao in front of him and Director Qian beside him.

"Come on, sit down."

Director Gao said to Xu Jichang that as soon as he sat down, he got down to business, "Comrade Jichang, I have seen the report that Director Qian sent me today."

"You want to add fifteen people to the department, right? Can you tell me the reason for this? Why this number."

Xu Jichang was indeed his protégé, but when it came to matters in the factory, he still had to deal with business.What's more, it is such a big event to expand 15 people in one go.

"He is such a high-level factory manager. When the security department of the logistics department was still there, the establishment was very large, even far exceeding 15 people. Of course, there are elements of redundancy, but it is also true that the logistics department needs a lot of people. "

"Factory manager, think about it. Our factory's logistics warehouse is very large, and there must be at least eight people to take care of it. If you want to take care of the canteen, you need two people. One person is easy to guard and steal..."

"In addition to this, there are also logistics escorts during the long-distance purchase process. This requires at least two people, and some logistics materials are stacked in the open air, which also requires two people to guard. After the overall number of people increased, the internal workload increased greatly. The internal staff must be too busy, and there must be another..."

Xu Jichang made a reasonable analysis, and Director Gao and Director Qian nodded after listening.

After some more thinking, Director Gao finally expressed his opinion,

"Okay, then increase the manpower as you said, 18 people, including three cadres, plus six official staff and nine temporary workers."

"Three new units will be established in the department, and three new cadres will be the heads of the units. The candidates are up to you."

"Thank you, Director, for your understanding."

Xu Jichang said that he knew that Director Gao ordered the establishment of three new warehouses because he considered that he would not be able to manage it with one more person, so he wanted to set up another layer of management to lighten his burden.

"It's all for public affairs, so there's no way to say thank you."

Factory Manager Gao talked about all these thoughts, "Also, do you have any plans for the follow-up security work of the logistics department?"

"I thought about it before I came here."

Xu Jichang said, "The logistics department itself is a department that involves a lot of interests, and there are many twists and turns. In addition, when Zheng Xin was in office, the management was lax, and there must have been many thieves who invaded the interests of the unit."

"What I want is to first catch a few typical house thieves and punish them severely. Then give a lenient policy, allowing those who had problems before to return the stolen goods and reform themselves."

"In this way, the atmosphere in the logistics department will definitely be much better."

"Well, old money, did you hear that?"

After listening to what Xu Jichang said, Director Gao looked at Director Qian leisurely.

Director Qian quickly replied: "I heard it."

"Then what do you think of Comrade Ji Chang's method?"

"It's very innovative and very targeted. Of course, it's up to you, the factory manager, to decide whether it's good or not."

"If you ask me, it's certainly a good idea."

Factory Manager Gao shifted his gaze to Xu Jichang, with approval on his face,
"Comrade Jichang, you are young, energetic and thoughtful."

"This time, I have added nearly [-] people to you, which represents the trust of me and the factory in you."

"So let's let go of our arms and work harder, and create a clean and upright environment for the logistics department."

When Director Gao said this, his expression was very serious, and his eyes were full of trust and expectation for Xu Jichang.

"Please rest assured, the two leaders, I will definitely complete the task assigned to me by the factory."

Xu Jichang got up from his chair, stood upright and made a promise to Director Gao and Director Qian.

……

In the afternoon of the same day, the factory organization department announced the expansion plan of Xu Jichang's department, and announced that the name of the department would be changed.

The original name was the Important Facilities Security Section, and the changed name was the Important Facilities and Logistics Security Section.

The name is a bit longer, but it is more in line with the scope of responsibility after the expansion of the department. If the original name remains the same, it is somewhat inconsistent with the name and reality.

Once the plan was announced, Xu Jichang went to the home of sisters Li Wanru and Li Wansi that afternoon.

It was Li Wansi who opened the door for him. After the door was opened, Xu Jichang saw that Li Wansi's face became more rosy, and his eyes became more lively.

Seeing Xu Jichang, Li Wansi was very happy, her eyes were full of brilliance: "Brother Jichang, you have come to see us."

"Yes, let's take a look at your health and talk to you and your sister."

After finishing speaking, Xu Jichang entered the room, while Li Wansi turned around, told Li Wanru loudly that he had come, and invited him to sit down at the table.

"Tell me to come over earlier, I'm not very prepared for this..."

Li Wan arrived before anyone came, and after coming out of the bedroom, she looked at Xu Jichang enthusiastically, "You must have not eaten dinner yet, I will go to the street to buy some vegetables and come back to eat together."

Of course, while being enthusiastic, Li Wanru was also a little distressed.

Is this friend creating an opportunity to get in touch with his sister...

She drummed in her heart.

"No, I'm going home for dinner. I came here today mainly to talk about something."

Xu Jichang said, "Our department needs to expand, and we need to recruit a back office, mainly engaged in paperwork and desk work."

"Huh? You mean..."

Li Wanru finished pouring tea for Xu Jichang, and sat beside him, surprise appeared in his eyes.

She has been thinking about finding a job for her sister day and night, but finding a job is not so easy these days.

Even though Li Wanru continued to perform positively on stage, she still didn't see a glimmer of hope.

After all, Taili really didn't release recruitment opportunities. Even if Master Gu appreciates her, he can't squeeze out a spot for her younger sister.

But now hearing the news brought by Xu Jichang, Li Wanru can't care about his thoughts about his sister for the time being.

Under Li Wan's expectant gaze, Xu Jichang spoke unhurriedly.

"Yes, I want to ask about Wansi's education level and how her body is recovering now. If the conditions are met, I can find a way to recruit her."

"Wansi has a middle school education, and her reading, writing and arithmetic skills are excellent, but her body has just recovered..."

"Brother Jichang, don't listen to my sister. My body has fully recovered, and running is no problem."

"If there is a job opportunity, I want to try it now. After all, some of my classmates are already working, and I don't want to stay at home."

Xu Jichang was talking to Li Wanru, when Li Wansi hurriedly said.

"Oh? Don't you still have a little cough?"

Li Wanru hesitated.

"A little cough, it's okay...cough cough..."

Li Wansi said, but was interrupted by two sudden coughs.

"How about this, Wansi, you can take care of her again. I can help you save your position until half a month later."

Xu Jichang said, "During this period of time, take good care of your health, review your writing and so on, and then come to participate in job recruitment."

"Well, I will definitely take care of my body completely."

Li Wansi immediately made a promise that determination was written on her handsome and quiet face in the past, as if she was about to go to the battlefield.

Because she understands how difficult it is to have a job opportunity these days.

Xu Jichang was amused by her appearance: "Okay, if you need any medicinal materials, go to me and get them, I have what I have."

"Aren't you coughing? I'll bring you some bellflower and licorice tomorrow."

Hearing what Xu Jichang said, the faces of the two sisters were full of gratitude again.

Especially Li Wanru, she was most concerned about this younger sister.

Even though she knew that Xu Jichang had thoughts about her sister, but seeing that he was looking for a job for Li Wansi and continuing to deliver medicinal materials, she simply didn't know what words to use to express her gratitude to him.

"Thank you, you have been so kind to us sisters."

Li Wanru's face was full of sincerity, with a hazy glint in his eyes and he said, "I'll go get the bellflower with you later, so you don't need to make another trip tomorrow."

"Well, it's getting late now, you can come with me right away."

Xu Jichang said.

"I want to go too."

At this time, Li Wansi interjected from the side.

Li Wanru shook her head: "Forget it, it's so cold, you should stay at home. Don't catch a cold and cough badly."

"Ah... well."

Li Wansi had no choice but to show regret.

"Actually, she can go if she wants to. She won't catch cold if she wraps her in my bearskin coat."

Xu Ji saw that Li Wansi wanted to go to his home so much, so he proposed.

Li Wansi was overjoyed: "Sister, brother Jichang agreed, so don't stop me."

Li Wansi had no choice but to show a helpless smile: "I really have nothing to do with you."

So Xu Jichang took off his bearskin coat, led the two sisters to his home, and arrived in a short while.

Entering the courtyard of Xu Jichang's house, Li Wansi exclaimed in her heart: Brother's house...is so big.

When the group entered the room, Lan Qimei was cooking in the kitchen. After hearing the noise, she turned her head and saw the sisters of the Li family: "Wanru, you are here. Is this your sister?"

"This is my sister, Wansi."

"Hello sister..."

"Well, you're so cute...the little girl is really pretty."

Lan Qimei greeted Li's sisters, at this time Zhu Chen, Du Xiaojing, and Shen Danrui who had already left work heard the movement, and also came to see Li Wansi, and cared about her current physical condition after entering the room.

On the night when Li Wanru knelt down for the bear's gall, the three girls knew that she had a younger sister who was in poor health.

Now hearing that Li Wansi is recovering well, Zhu Chen, Du Xiaojing and Shen Danrui are all very happy.

While the girls were constantly concerned, Xu Jichang took out a handful of bellflowers and licorice from the corner of the wall, and put them in a bag: "Here, take these bellflowers and cook them with licorice. Cooking them will relieve coughs." gone."

Li Wanru got up quickly and took the bag from him: "Thank you for caring about Wansi so much."

"Thank you brother."

Li Wansi also stood up from the chair and said.

"You're welcome."

Xu Jichang said, "It's serious to take good care of your body early."

At the end, he raised his hand to check the time again: "It's getting late, let's have dinner here and go."

Sisters Li Wanru and Li Wansi thanked again, and Xu Jichang lit a fire in the fireplace to keep Li Wansi from catching a cold, making the room warmer.

……

After a while, Lan Qimei prepared dinner, and Xu Jichang sat around the table with the six girls and began to enjoy this sumptuous dinner of fish and meat.

Sisters Li, Zhu Wei, Du Xiaojing, Shen Danrui, and Lan Qimei, it was the first time that Xu Jichang's dinner table was so lively.

After eating, everyone talked again before they dispersed. Among them, when Li Wansi and Xu Jichang said goodbye, their eyes were full of reluctance.

Xu Jichang couldn't get close to Li Wansi due to the presence of so many people, but he just told her that he would come whenever he wanted, and he was welcome anytime.

"Okay, then I'll come over when my cough clears up."

Li Wansi immediately said happily.

After seeing off the Li sisters, Xu Jichang went back to the house and left Du Xiaojing alone.

"Jichang, do you want to..."

Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Du Xiaojing blushed and said.

"I didn't say anything. Of course, if you want to take it, it's best."

Xu Jichang slightly raised his eyebrows and said, Du Xiaojing was so ashamed that he wished he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

"You, you, you... I didn't say anything, so don't guess."

After finishing speaking, Du Xiaojing deliberately turned his face away, not looking at Xu Jichang.

"I have business to do."

Xu Jichang said seriously, "The department will be expanded, you know that?"

"I know, the factory has already issued a notice."

Du Xiaojing then turned around, looked at Xu Jichang puzzled and said, "Why, do you need me to help you with anything during the process?"

"Not for that."

Xu Jichang said, "I have something more important to inform you."
