Chapter 496: Spring Chapter resumes work!
Chapter 496: Back to work during the Spring Festival!
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the steel mill finally resumed production. At 8 o'clock in the morning, Jia Dongming arrived at his office on time. Wang Haibo followed him into Jia Dongming's office and greeted him respectfully, "Director! Happy New Year!"
When Jia Dongming heard Wang Haibo's greeting, he smiled and said to Wang Haibo, "Haibo! Happy New Year! I heard from Guoping that your family went back to your hometown to celebrate the New Year this year. Why didn't you stay there for a few more days? Why did you come back so soon?"
Wang Haibo smiled and introduced Jia Dongming after hearing what he said: "Director! My hometown is in Tong County, which is only a six-hour drive from our city. So when we go back, we don't have to waste several days on the road like Guoping and his friends do. That's why we come back earlier."
After hearing Wang Haibo's introduction, Jia Dongming thought about the current traffic situation in China and asked Wang Haibo with a smile, "Haibo! You came to see me so early in the morning. What's the matter?"
When Wang Haibo heard Jia Dongming's question, he remembered the reason why he came to see Jia Dongming, and quickly reported to Jia Dongming: "Director! The factory office has notified you to attend a meeting in the second conference room at 9 o'clock in the morning."
When Jia Dongming learned that the steel mill had notified him of a meeting, he smiled and nodded, and replied in a very casual tone: "At nine o'clock, the meeting will be held in the second conference room. Haibo! I know about this matter."
"Dingling! Dingling! Dingling!"
Not long after Wang Haibo left Jia Dongming's office, the phone in Jia Dongming's office suddenly rang.
When Jia Dongming heard the phone ring, he reached out and picked up the intercom on his desk and greeted politely, "Hello! I'm Jia Dongming. Who is this?"
"Director Jia! Happy New Year! I am Li Huaide. I wonder what you have been busy with during the New Year holidays?" As soon as Jia Dongming finished asking, Li Huaide's polite greeting came over the phone.
When Jia Dongming heard Li Huaide's greeting, he immediately smiled and said hello to Li Huaide: "Director Li! Happy New Year. During the New Year holidays, except for coming to the factory to check on the work during the day, I was either visiting relatives or staying at home with my mother."
After hearing what Jia Dongming said, Li Huaide smiled and asked Jia Dongming, "Director Jia! Did you receive a notice from the factory office? Did they ask you to go to the second conference room for a meeting at 9 o'clock?"
When Jia Dongming heard Li Huaide mention the meeting, he showed a puzzled expression on his face and asked Li Huaide curiously, "Director Li! Our security office has already reported to me the news that the factory office has notified us of the meeting, but why did you suddenly bring it up? Is there anything special about today's meeting?"
When Li Huaide heard Jia Dongming's question, he immediately realized that Jia Dongming had misunderstood his meaning. Thinking of the reason why he called Jia Dongming, he smiled and introduced Jia Dongming: "Director Jia! This meeting is just a routine meeting held in the factory after the New Year. However, tomorrow, General Manager Sun from the department will come to our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill for inspection. Chen Weizhong has assigned me the task of receiving him."
When Jia Dongming heard Li Huaide mention Mr. Sun and learned that Mr. Sun was coming, he was surprised and said to Li Huaide with a smile: "Director Li! Mr. Sun is the head of the First Ministry of Machinery Industry. If you can receive Mr. Sun well, he might remember you." When Li Huaide heard Jia Dongming's words and thought of Chen Weizhong's character, he said to Jia Dongming with a worried look on his face: "Director Jia! Being personally responsible for Mr. Sun's reception is indeed a good job in the eyes of outsiders, but in my subconscious, this is not only not a good job, but also a hot potato."
Jia Dongming heard Li Huaide's answer and felt Li Huaide's mood when he spoke, so he immediately asked Li Huaide: "Director Li! From what you said, Chen Weizhong tried to use the reception of Mr. Sun to plot against you behind your back?"
When Li Huaide heard what Jia Dongming said, thinking of Mr. Sun's character, he couldn't help but sighed, and said to Jia Dongming with a worried look on his face: "Director Jia! You really guessed it right. Mr. Sun is well-known in the Ministry of First Machine Building for his diligence, frugality, fairness, uprightness, vigorous and resoluteness, and being close to the people and pragmatic! So how to receive Mr. Sun is undoubtedly a big problem for me."
After hearing what Li Huaide said and thinking about Mr. Sun's character, Jia Dongming finally understood why Li Huaide thought that Chen Wei Zhong was using the reception to plot against him.
Guessing the reason why Li Huaide called him, Jia Dongming pretended to be confused and said, "Director Li! Tell me about your plan? I can give you some advice."
When Li Huaide heard Jia Dongming's question and thought about the difficulties he was facing, he introduced to Jia Dongming with a depressed look on his face: "Director Jia! To be honest, Mr. Sun is a very pragmatic leader. If this reception is arranged too well, I will probably leave a bad impression in Mr. Sun's mind. If the reception is too bad, Chen Weizhong will probably use this matter to make trouble for me."
Jia Dongming heard what Li Huaide said and learned about Li Huaide's inner troubles. He smiled and said to Li Huaide, "Director Li! I think you are just too concerned."
After hearing Jia Dongming's answer, Li Huaide asked him curiously, "Director Jia! Do you have a good idea?"
When Jia Dongming heard Li Huaide's question, he thought of Mr. Sun's character and said to Li Huaide with a smile, "Director Li! You just said that Mr. Sun is a very pragmatic leader. In this case, when you receive him, follow the reception regulations and arrange four dishes and one soup. If Chen Weizhong dares to use this matter to attack you, you can directly bring out the instructions of the great man."
"After all, the great man himself said that state banquets are wasteful, and that entertaining guests only requires four dishes and one soup to meet their needs, which reflects a frugal attitude."
"Also, you can find a chef who can cook Hunan cuisine and ask him to cook you a bowl of Xiangtan rice noodles as a staple food for Mr. Sun. As long as you do as I say, I guarantee that you can complete this reception mission successfully and make Mr. Sun remember you."
When Li Huaide heard what Jia Dongming said, he thought of Mr. Sun's ancestral home, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face. He asked Jia Dongming curiously: "Director Jia! I heard that Mr. Sun's ancestral home is in Sichuan. Why don't you suggest that I arrange Sichuan cuisine, but instead let me go to the Hunan chef to cook for Mr. Sun?"
Jia Dongming listened to your Gao Li Huaide's inquiry and replied with a smile: "Director Li! I can't tell you the specific reasons for the time being. In a word, if you believe me, do it according to what I say."
