Chapter 25: Promoted

Steel Rolling Factory

A broadcast notice caused a sensation and heated discussion throughout the factory.

In the morning, Cao Cao Weiguo did not live up to Deputy Factory Director Li's "expectations," and Deputy Factory Director Li also happily wrote the appointment letter.

Subsequently, Cao Cao Weiguo's appointment was broadcast throughout the factory: Deputy Director of the Cafeteria.

The youngest deputy section-level cadre in the factory was freshly released!

Cao Cao Weiguo instantly became the focus of the whole factory, the protagonist of countless people's excited discussions.

It was just that this appointment was too unexpected; no one thought that Cao Cao Weiguo, who was in his early twenties, would be promoted and appointed as deputy director.

Many people knew that Cao Cao Weiguo was single, and those with daughters racked their brains, wanting to marry their daughters to Cao Cao Weiguo.

If such a young and capable deputy director became a son-in-law, their family's ancestral grave would have to smoke green smoke. ===== CHAPTER 45 =====

Sha Zhu, the First Master, the Second Master, and Qin Qin Huairu, who were working in the workshop, were all stunned.

They once suspected whether they had auditory hallucinations.

How many days had Cao Cao Weiguo been a permanent employee? How old was he? How did he suddenly become a deputy director!

Deputy Director!

This was the highest-ranking cadre in the whole courtyard!

The First Master was an eighth-grade machinist, respected, but only a worker.

The Second Master was a seventh-grade blacksmith, always thinking about being a cadre but never succeeding.

Sha Zhu had worked in the cafeteria for several years and was now a workshop worker.

Qin Qin Huairu was a widow worried about her livelihood.

The huge gap made people unwilling to believe it was true!

How did Cao Cao Weiguo, an inconspicuous orphan, suddenly become a cadre, leaving everyone behind?

The First Master regretted not paying attention to and helping Cao Cao Weiguo before, missing out on a promising old-age supporter.

The Second Master was surprised that Cao Cao Weiguo became a cadre at such a young age and pondered how to have a good relationship in the future.

Sha Zhu was jealous and gnashed his teeth; a villain actually mixed better than him, becoming a cadre from an apprentice in a few days.

Qin Qin Huairu's heart was surging, longing to turn Cao Cao Weiguo into Sha Zhu.

Other residents of the Sihe Academy were both surprised and happy.

A leader living in the same courtyard was a good opportunity to get in touch with the management.

Workers throughout the factory were excitedly discussing, and Cao Cao Weiguo would be congratulated wherever he went.

These people understood that Cao Cao Weiguo had taken off, jumping from an ordinary worker into the ranks of leading cadres.

This was a leap across classes!

In the Propaganda Department, Yu Yu Haitang sat in her seat and sighed constantly, looking restless.

"Misjudged!"

"Really misjudged!"

Yu Yu Haitang regretted wanting to hit the wall.

Why did she look down on Cao Cao Weiguo, why did she stubbornly refuse the blind date!

If she hadn't refused, maybe she would be Deputy Director Cao's partner now!

She wanted to marry a cadre, but she turned away a young and promising cadre with her own hands.

Seeing Yu Yu Haitang's absent-minded look, Yang Yang Weimin asked with concern: "Yu Haitang, what's wrong with you?"

Yu Yu Haitang felt a pain in her heart when she saw Yang Yang Weimin, and said with a cold face in regret: "I'm fine."

She misjudged, and she didn't know if there was any chance for remedy.

In the conference room, Factory Director Yang, Deputy Factory Director Li, the cafeteria director, the logistics director, the finance director, the security section chief, and other leading cadres gathered.

Cao Cao Weiguo, the newly promoted deputy director, also attended the meeting and was one of the protagonists who attracted much attention.

Factory Director Yang said seriously: "Comrade Cao Cao Weiguo, from today on, you will serve as the deputy director of the cafeteria. Do you have anything to say?"

In this era of material scarcity and food shortages, the cafeteria was a department that countless people were watching.

Cao Cao Weiguo was both excited and happy, not expecting Deputy Factory Director Li's ability to be so great.

This person is worth associating with!

He really does things after taking money!

Although the appointment was sudden, Cao Cao Weiguo had predicted it early.

"Thank you, Factory Director Yang and Factory Director Li, for your trust in me, and thank the organization for its importance to me. I will serve the people wholeheartedly, do my job diligently and responsibly... and fight for the prosperity and strength of the motherland for the rest of my life!"

Cao Cao Weiguo, who had received higher education, made a speech that was ideologically correct, firm in stance, clear in banner, and positive in attitude.

This made Factory Director Yang feel quite surprised and satisfied; he didn't expect Cao Cao Weiguo to have ink in his stomach.

Factory Director Li was also quite surprised, and at the same time somewhat happy; Cao Cao Weiguo was a usable talent.

Knows how to conduct himself! Knows how to do things! Knows how to speak! He can be used in the future!

After Cao Cao Weiguo officially took office, the meeting began to discuss other matters.

Cao Cao Weiguo, who had just arrived, quietly became a background board, a leisurely salted fish.

The meeting was a distribution of interests, and everyone was fighting for their own interests.

Departments put forward problems and needs, discussed, argued, compromised... which opened Cao Cao Weiguo's eyes.

It turned out that these high-ranking leading cadres were like businessmen here.

Haggling over every ounce, calculating every penny.

Even the cafeteria director, who was lukewarm in his eyes before, changed his usual face and argued fiercely.

The cafeteria director, logistics director, and security section chief... obviously belonged to Deputy Factory Director Li's side.

The finance director, propaganda director, and workshop director... belonged to Factory Director Yang's side.

The discipline director and personnel director... didn't speak, and their stance couldn't be seen.

Most of the things in the meeting were empty and made Cao Cao Weiguo sleepy.

But there was one thing that made Cao Cao Weiguo somewhat concerned: Labor Day employee benefits.

The above had approved the funding application for "employee benefits," but the problem was that there was money but nothing to buy.

The Steel Rolling Factory was a large key unit, but there was more than one such unit in the capital.

Not to mention that there were many units more important than the Steel Rolling Factory.

The logistics director went to the meat processing plant to purchase, but after working hard for a long time, he could only get 80 catties of pork.

80 catties of pork in the Steel Rolling Factory was just a drop in the bucket.

Food factories, canning factories, chicken farms... these units were also bustling, and even if there were quotas, they couldn't get anything.

Units all over the city were preparing employee benefits, and the situation of many monks and little porridge was very severe.

At the meeting, Factory Director Yang and Deputy Factory Director Li spoke, mobilizing all leaders to mobilize relationships and do their best to find materials for the factory.

Cao Cao Weiguo had things in his hands, but he couldn't take them out without thinking.

If he was reported for "speculation and profiteering" or "reselling materials," he would be finished!

To get the materials in his hands to the factory, he still needed careful planning and operation.

He must not be too hasty and be caught by others.

He would rather continue to hoard them in his hands than take impulsive risks.

Pressing down the urge to recommend himself, Cao Cao Weiguo watched quietly.

After the meeting, everyone congratulated Cao Cao Weiguo with a smile.

Walking on the road, Cao Cao Weiguo further felt people's enthusiasm.

People who had never greeted him before all came over and called him Director Cao affectionately.

Those "cold" leading cadres before also wanted Cao Cao Weiguo to treat them to dinner.

Cao Cao Weiguo, who was rich and powerful, naturally wouldn't refuse and generously invited all the leading cadres to Donglaishun for a meal.

A clerk in the logistics department flattered: "Director Cao, your office has been cleaned up. I am Sun Ping from the logistics department. If you need to add office supplies in the future, just tell me."

Cao Cao Weiguo was appointed as deputy director and was assigned an independent office, which was small but quiet and tidy.

Sitting in the office, leaning against the hard and cold chair back, Cao Cao Weiguo's mood was inevitably somewhat excited.

He didn't expect that he would have a day to become a "leader"!

After sitting in the office for a while, Cao Cao Weiguo returned to the kitchen.

The cafeteria was his home field.

"Director, I cut tea for you."

Liu Lan held the tea mug and rushed forward, full of enthusiasm and flattery.

Cao Cao Weiguo opened the thermos cup and said: "Thank you, Sister Lan."

Liu Lan smiled happily: "Director is too polite, your tea and water will be handed over to me in the future."

"Congratulations to Master Cao for being promoted to Director!"

"Congratulations to Master Cao!"

The kitchen helpers and apprentices stepped forward to congratulate him, and Liu Liu Limin was so excited that his face turned red.

"Master, you are too amazing."

Yesterday he was still cooking with his master, and overnight his master became a director.

Cao Cao Weiguo said happily: "Liu Limin, work hard, you will definitely be more promising than your master in the future." ===== CHAPTER 46 =====
