After the divorce, I became a mountain god

A speechless night!
The next day, after getting up and having breakfast, Xu Bo'an drove to Dongjiang Erjian to work.

Although he knew he was about to leave, Xu Bo'an did not become lax and strictly adhered to his principle of "do sixty seconds for every minute".

Xu Bo'an was not worried that anything would go wrong with his internal retirement. With Su Tai's care and Zheng Qiudong's personal arrangements, his departure was a foregone conclusion.

However, the process takes time. Zheng Qiudong said that according to past experience, it would take about a month to complete all the formalities before he could officially step down.

Xu Boan, as the chief engineer of Dongjiang Second Construction, is the de facto person in charge. Although he seems to be relatively free and unhurried on weekdays, and can occasionally be lazy and be late or leave early, Xu Boan actually has a lot of work to hand over.

In addition to the technical briefings on the projects that you are in charge of, as well as the passing on of the overall situation of the company, there must be a simple handover to the next person.

However, up to now, Xu Boan’s successor has not been decided, so there is no one to take over the responsibility.

Although Xu Boan had a candidate in mind and was thinking of promoting the current deputy chief engineer to the position, personnel appointments and dismissals of this level still had to be decided by the group headquarters. Xu Boan had not yet communicated with Su Tai, so naturally, it didn't count.

The last time Xu Boan went to see Su Tai, he was planning to bring up this matter, but he encountered some things and it was delayed, so he didn't get to talk about it.

Xu Boan was thinking about the handover when he heard his phone ringing. What a coincidence, the caller ID showed Su Tai's name.

Before Xu Boan picked up the phone and could say anything, he heard Su Tai on the other end of the line say with a smile: "Brother Boan, it's like this. Last night, I suddenly thought that you were leaving soon. Do you have any suitable candidate in mind to take over?"

Xu Boan frowned slightly, and his mind moved. What Su Tai meant by this was that he had a candidate, right?
Just as the thought came to his mind, Su Tai said again: "Don't get me wrong. I want to tell you that the group still respects the opinions of our branches and subsidiaries. If you have a suitable candidate to recommend, I will have a good idea. If someone asks me to help, I will push it off. After all, your company's own situation is known to you, and the next step of reform will be easier to promote."

Xu Bo'an and Su Tai were old friends, so they didn't beat around the bush and said, "Mr. Su, your call was such a coincidence. I was just thinking about this matter when you called me. You really think of me. You are so thoughtful. You even considered such a small matter for me. Thank you so much."

He was just about to say out his chosen candidate, but then he changed his mind. Although he had a good relationship with Su Tai, Mr. Su was the head of the group after all, so he had to be polite to him. If Su Tai really needed someone to be placed, it would seem a bit inappropriate for him to say it out first.

Another point is that Xu Boan wanted to promote Li Wenda to the position. It's not that he has a good relationship with Li Wenda. To put it bluntly, he and Li Wenda are just acquaintances at most. The reason why Xu Boan handed over the job to him is simply because Li Wenda is usually serious and responsible about his work. Over the years, he has not been seen to form any factions, let alone gangs.

When Xu Boan was stepped on by He Qiang, Li Wenda's attitude towards him was always consistent. He was not affected by others at all. He just did his job well and never participated in other office struggles. He always looked calm. To be honest, Xu Boan admired such a person. The most important thing was that Li Wenda had a high level of professional skills, so it was more than enough for him to be the chief engineer, and it would save a lot of trouble for him to hand over the job himself.

To put it bluntly, someone has to do the work! A company can’t be full of people with connections!
Xu Boan considered that Li Wenda was more suitable to take over the position, so he was prepared to choose him. But to be honest, Su Tai took such good care of him and was the head of the group. Therefore, if Su Tai had his own plans, Xu Boan would certainly not raise his own opinions. He could not offend Su Tai just because of Li Wenda, so Xu Boan did not say that he already had a suitable candidate.

Then he turned to Su Tai and said, "Boss Su, I haven't had time to think about it yet. Do you have a suitable candidate? If you do, please recommend one to me. Once a candidate is selected to take over my position, the handover will be smoother, and it won't affect the work in the later stages."

Su Tai was very happy to hear Xu Boan say this. At least this proved that Xu Boan still respected him very much.

Su Tai waved his hand and said happily, "Brother Bo'an, although I am the person in charge of the company, after all, everyone has their own expertise, and professional matters require professional people. I certainly don't know as much about your affairs as you do. I think it is most appropriate for you to decide on this matter directly. When you think about who is suitable to take over, you can just hand it over directly."

Seeing that Su Tai had said so much, Xu Bo'an stopped being shy and said, "Thank you, Chairman Su, for trusting me so much. I will think about it carefully and choose the best from the perspective of being responsible for the company and the group. I will never let you down."

"Haha, okay, I'm at ease with you doing the job!" Su Tai responded with satisfaction. The two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.

Since Su Tai gave him full authority over the matter, it would be much easier. Xu Boan directly called the deputy chief engineer Li Wenda and asked him to come to his office.

After a while, there was a knock on Xu Bo'an's office door. After he said "come in", he saw that the person who came was the deputy chief engineer Li Wenda.

After Li Wenda walked into Xu Bo'an's office, he said in a neither arrogant nor humble manner: "Mr. Xu, you are looking for me,"

Xu Bo'an smiled and said to Li Wenda, "Please sit down first. I have something to discuss with you. Let's have some tea and talk slowly."

Although Xu Bo'an has chosen Li Wenda as the candidate, he still needs to have a detailed discussion with him. What if someone just doesn't want to be the full-time employee and only wants to be a deputy who doesn't have to bear any work responsibilities and enjoys a leisurely and comfortable life?
Although everyone in the workplace is trying their best to climb up the ladder, there are also some individuals in life who just prefer deputy positions, which offer free time, money and do not have to bear as much responsibility as a full-time job.

So Xu Boan still needs to see Li Wenda’s personal thoughts.

Xu Bo'an brewed a pot of tea, poured a cup and handed it to Li Wenda, then sat on the chair.

Li Wenda took the tea handed over by Xu Boan with both hands and said politely, "Thank you."

Xu Boan nodded and said, "Wenda, I came to you today to tell you that I plan to leave the company and recommend you to take over my position as chief engineer. What do you think?"

When Li Wenda heard Xu Boan say in person that he was going to resign and hand over the position of chief engineer to him, this double piece of explosive news shocked the usually steady Li Wenda so much that he couldn't recover.

At this moment, he was looking at Xu Bo'an with his eyes wide open. The tea he just drank almost sprayed directly on Xu Bo'an's face. Fortunately, he had good self-control and swallowed the tea in his mouth with difficulty. He was choked by the tea and coughed violently for a few times. It took a long time to stop. Xu Bo'an looked at Li Wenda's reaction, laughed out loud, and said, "No way, Lao Li, where is your usual calmness? Are you so excited?"

Li Wenda said: "Mr. Xu, it's not that I'm too excited, it's that the two pieces of news you suddenly told me were a bit too unexpected, I need to slow down a bit."

Xu Bo'an laughed and said, "Okay, I'll give you some time to relax. If you have no objection, I plan to slowly hand over the work to you over the next period of time."

Li Wenda smiled awkwardly, but his heart was filled with turmoil.

You have to know that Li Wenda has been diligently engaged in technical work for many years, and he was promoted to the position of deputy chief engineer by luck. For someone like him who has no background or foundation, it is already quite difficult.

Over the years, he dared not make any mistakes at work, for fear that he would be fired if he was not careful. So on weekdays, he always worked more and talked less, never formed cliques with others, and just thought about working diligently.

He had thought that he had reached the pinnacle of his life by reaching this level, and he was quite satisfied with his current life. He did not expect that Mr. Xu would ask him to take over the position of chief engineer. This was like pie in the sky. So he was a little overwhelmed for a while.

Mr. Xu is a close confidant of Chairman Su, the top leader of the group headquarters. He is a very popular person! He also knew the news. Why would he leave with such a good future? However, compared with Xu Bo'an's resignation, he was even more unbelievable for him to take over the position of chief engineer of Dongjiang Second Construction.

After a while, Li Wenda, who had gradually calmed down, looked at Xu Bo'an, rubbed his hands nervously and said, "I'm going to say something I shouldn't say. Mr. Xu, although I know you can't be joking with me, I still want to ask you one more question. Is what you said true? I still feel that this is too unreal!"

Xu Bo'an nodded solemnly and said, "It's absolutely true, truer than real gold."

Li Wenda said in disbelief: "No, Mr. Xu, you are doing well and have a bright future. Why do you suddenly want to resign? It's a pity!"

Another question? However, anyone who knows him well would be very surprised when hearing this question. This is normal, because he is such a high-ranking person. Unless he is fired by the company, under normal circumstances, who would be so upset as to resign?

So after hearing the news, Li Wenda asked this question, just like Xu Boan.

However, Xu Boan did not intend to explain too much to Li Wenda.

Xu Boan explained to Su Tai because he was the head of the group and had a close relationship with him, so he knew something about his background; he explained to Tang Xiaohu because Xu Boan treated Tang Xiaohu as his own brother.

Li Wenda and Xu Boan have no special relationship. It can even be said that Xu Boan is Li Wenda's mentor. Such a relationship means that Xu Boan holds the initiative, so there is no need to explain to Li Wenda.

It’s not that he looked down on Li Wenda, it’s just that Li Wenda has no idea of ​​his other strengths, just like he owns Monkey Wine. Su Tai knows and understands that he resigned because he has this confidence and strength.

However, Li Wenda and Xu Boan were only close colleagues and had no private interactions, so of course they were not clear. Therefore, Xu Boan's explanation to Li Wenda was like playing the lute to a cow. Even if he explained, he would not understand. It would be better not to explain. Anyway, when he achieved certain results, his doubts would be naturally resolved.

Xu Boan smiled and said, "I naturally have my own plans, but it is not convenient to reveal them for the time being."

After hearing what Xu Boan said, Li Wenda was tactful and stopped asking this question.

He turned to Xu Bo'an and said, "Boss Xu, I am very grateful that you can recommend me to take over your job. However, I have just taken over the position of deputy chief engineer for a short time, and I want to be promoted to the next level. Isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

Xu Boan teased with interest: "Why? You have no confidence?"

Li Wenda hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, no, you misunderstood. I think this matter might give some people something to talk about. Maybe they will talk about you behind your back."

It has to be said that Xu Boan was very pleased to hear what Li Wenda said. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been happy and eager to take over the position. The fact that he could still consider himself at this time at least proved that Li Wenda's character was still quite good.

Hearing Li Wenda's words, Xu Bo'an felt that he had not made a mistake. He smiled and said, "I am about to resign. Why should I be afraid of them gossiping behind my back? As for whether your ability is up to standard, I know it very well. Let alone the past, I have seen your ability during your time as deputy chief engineer. I believe you can be competent."

After saying this, Xu Boan patted Li Wenda on the shoulder as if to cheer him up.

Li Wenda said with great momentum: "Well, since you, Mr. Xu, can safely hand over this job to me, I will definitely do my best to do it to the best of my ability."

Li Wenda's words were powerful and resonant, in stark contrast to his usual nonchalant and submissive attitude.

Even Xu Boan was a little surprised by this.

Xu Bo'an couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it turns out that power is the best stimulant for a man.

I just hope I don't make a mistake! (End of this chapter)
