Chapter 1591: Chairman's Assistant

Zhou Andong put down the phone, then put on his sweater and long johns before getting out of bed.

After washing up, it was already nearly nine o'clock when he left the dormitory building. When he arrived at the cafeteria, there was no one there.

"Old Ma!" Zhou Andong shouted and walked toward the kitchen.

Head Chef Ma Mingyi came out of the kitchen and smiled when he saw Zhou Andong: "The food is being kept warm for you."

Because there were people working overtime, the factory would make breakfast so that night-shift workers could eat before going home.

For the past few days, Zhou Andong had been eating in the cafeteria every day, not necessarily at any specific time.

So the old man would keep the food for him, placing it on the steamer to keep it from getting cold.

Zhou Andong asked: "What are we eating today?"

"Baozi!" Ma Mingyi turned and went into the kitchen: "You like mutton filling, so I specifically had them make those. There's also some beef offal, I stewed it for you."

Zhou Andong entered the kitchen and found everyone was there; the waitresses and cleaners were all inside helping to pick vegetables.

And the kitchen staff were washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, and two people were standing in front of the stove frying things.

"Chairman!"

"Chairman!"

"Chairman!"

"..."

The staff greeted Zhou Andong one after another. Whether they were waitresses or cleaners, they were all old employees of the winery, and their feelings for Zhou Andong were extraordinary.

"The staff building will be drawn for tomorrow. Have you prepared the money?"

"Prepared."

A young married woman of twenty-five or twenty-six diligently placed the baozi and beef offal on a cutting board on the side.

Zhou Andong took a stool where the staff rested, picked up a baozi, and took a bite.

"How big are you planning to buy?"

A woman in her forties said: "I still haven't decided how big to buy."

"Yeah!" The young woman also had a worried face: "My family is a dual-income household, so according to the regulations, we can buy two apartments. But my parents-in-law have a house, and I want to buy a big one."

"Chairman." A cleaner in her fifties said: "Give us an opinion."

Zhou Andong drank some soup: "If you are a dual-income household, buy two. The size depends on your own economic situation."

"Okay!" The young woman nodded: "I'll listen to the Chairman, no more hesitation, I'll buy two."

Zhou Andong chatted with them while eating. Just as he put down his chopsticks, Gu Bing walked in from outside.

"I knew you were here."

"Gu Shuji!"

"Gu Shuji!"

"..."

They were all old employees, so they were used to calling Gu Bing Secretary.

And they also respected Gu Bing very much.

After all, if it weren't for Gu Bing's initial insistence on reform despite all opposition,

the Chairman wouldn't have been able to become the factory director, and the factory might have already collapsed.

How could there be such good days now? Wages had risen to over five hundred.

There were also share dividends, with the lowest receiving over three thousand, and it would only get better in the future.

Now the staff building was also finished, and they would draw for it tomorrow. Such days were something they didn't even dare to think about before.

If it weren't for the Chairman and Gu Shuji, let alone living such good days, even filling their stomachs would have been a problem.

Didn't they see that last year, the wave of layoffs spread across the country? How many people who held iron rice bowls back then couldn't even eat a meal now?

Jiangzhou was the same; those once-thriving factories collapsed one after another.

Jiang Xiaobai and the brewery had already accepted over a thousand people, but that was still a drop in the bucket, and there were still many laid-off workers with nowhere to go.

If it weren't for the Chairman and Gu Shuji, they would definitely be like those laid-off workers, confused and at a loss.

Gu Bing smiled and nodded, saying to Zhou Andong: "Old Du and the others have all come. I went to the dormitory to knock on the door, you weren't there, so I knew you were in the cafeteria."

Zhou Andong said something to Ma Mingyi, then left the cafeteria with Gu Bing and came to the factory office.

Wu Huilin's original office had been given to Qian Zhen, and now several people were there.

"Chairman!"

Seeing Zhou Andong arrive, Wu Huilin, Gu Qing, Qian Zhen, Du Chunlai, and Liu Qingjun greeted him.

"Are we going to the conference room?" Qian Zhen asked.

Zhou Andong waved his hand: "What conference room, let's just do it here."

Qian Zhen's secretary was a young man of twenty-three or twenty-four, also a college graduate who had just graduated last year, and a very capable person.

He poured tea for Zhou Andong and Gu Bing, and refilled the water in the others' teacups.

"Chairman!" Wu Huilin said with some resentment: "Your assistant and board secretary need to be arranged. You are away every day, and you can't let me do everything."

There was no candidate for board secretary, and the assistant was concurrently held by Jian Qiu. The two of them always disappeared together, so Wu Huilin's workload was quite heavy.

Zhou Andong also felt a bit guilty. Now that the group had entered the right track, and they were truly setting sail starting this year, it really wouldn't do to throw everything to Wu Huilin.

But the board assistant was a senior executive of the group, assisting the Chairman in handling all the company's work. Where could such a person be found so easily?

"Do you have any suitable candidates?"

"Yes!" It was Qian Zhen who spoke: "Huang Qikang, the deputy director of the No. 1 Pharmaceutical Factory."

Zhou Andong was stunned. The No. 1 Pharmaceutical Factory had good efficiency, and in 1998, it underwent a joint-stock reform. It could be said that it had always lived very comfortably.

"Isn't the efficiency of the No. 1 Pharmaceutical Factory very good? Why would Huang Qikang think of leaving and coming to our group?"

"A new director came up, and the two don't get along." Qian Zhen said: "His personality is just too upright. If he could be a bit more tactful, with his ability, the position of director would definitely be his."

"Okay!"

Zhou Andong agreed without even thinking. The deputy director of the No. 1 Pharmaceutical Factory must be very capable.

Plus Qian Zhen's words, why wait to recruit such a person to his side?

"Our relationship is very average, we just met a few times when the city held meetings before."

Qian Zhen picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip before continuing.

"He came to my house to find me on the first day of the New Year, which surprised me. However, this also shows that he has made up his mind to leave the pharmaceutical factory."

Zhou Andong said: "Contact him as soon as possible and let him serve as assistant for the time being."

Qian Zhen nodded: "I will contact him tonight."

Zhou Andong thought for a moment: "As for the board secretary, let Yu Qingyu, the director of the board office, hold it concurrently."

Speaking of this, Zhou Andong sighed with great emotion. Yu Qingyu was the original office director of the winery, and it was very magical.

Gao Qingkui, the factory director, and Zhang Deyou, the deputy factory director, both fucking went in, but he had no problems at all.

You have to know that the position of office director is the factory director's housekeeper. He didn't collude with them, yet he still sat in that position, which showed his ability.

And Zhou Andong let Yu Qingyu serve as the director of the board office mainly because there was no one available at the time, and it was also a test for him.

It had been two years now, and whether it was ability or character, Yu Qingyu had proven himself, so he could let him serve in a more important position.

"In addition, have him arrange a full-time secretary for me."

Wu Huilin laughed: "With the assistant and board secretary arranged, my work can be much easier." ===== CHAPTER 1592 =====

"In addition, have him arrange a full-time secretary for me."

Wu Huilin laughed: "With an assistant and a board secretary arranged, my work will be much easier."
