At four o'clock on Saturday afternoon, a tall and burly man came into the big office. The little guys surrounded him." President Sha is back, President Sha is back."”It was very noisy. This made me completely confused. I didn't understand why there was a "President Sha" in the company. I was about to greet him when he saw me. The kids quickly introduced me to him as the new deputy general manager. He looked surprised behind his glasses as if he was asking," What new deputy general manager?”Obviously, just like I didn't know him, he didn't know about the company's recruitment of a new vice president. From his expression, he doesn't seem to welcome me as the vice president. I didn't know his background, and I was even more afraid of offending someone the moment I met him. I quickly smiled and called him "President Sha", but I kept muttering in my heart,"Where did he come from?"”After a while, Manager Sha sat at a table next to the door. He took off his backpack and placed it on the table. He took out a bunch of keys from his bag and opened the drawer of the table. He took out a stack of bills from his backpack and stuffed them into the drawer. Then, he began to organize the bills. The little ones continued to surround his table and ask questions. He was the director sent by the company to the Northwest Timber Market project. He just took a bus back from the project today.
The little guys took turns asking him about the construction site. Was he living in a shed? Do you want to cook for yourself? Is there anywhere to play at night? Is it convenient to take a car back? Was the construction team easy to manage? Wait a minute. As he sorted out the bills, he talked about the situation at the construction site. When he talked about the mosquitoes there, he rolled up his pants and revealed that his feet were full of scars from mosquito bites. Sha said that they lived in a private house on the edge of the county town. There were ditches full of weeds in front of and behind the house, and there were many mosquitoes. Because the small beds in the room could not be arranged normally, they were made into a common bed. Unable to hang mosquito nets, they could only let mosquitoes bite them at night. Everyone took turns to cook. There was no kitchen, so they used waste bricks to set up a pot outside the door to cook. There was no table, so she squatted by the roadside to eat. The so-called tap water was drawn down from the mountains and rivers by bamboo. He stood by the roadside to bathe…
When the kids heard that the project was so tough, they asked Xiao Wu if it was the same in their county town. Xiao Wu said it was more or less the same. After hearing Xiao Wu's words, the kids started to discuss. They stayed in Provincial City to find a job so that they wouldn't have to suffer too much. If they had to live on such a tough construction site, they might as well go home.
The sand was the responsibility of the company's construction site staff. Other than reporting to the company, he also had to reimburse everyone's expenses. Before President Hua returned to the company, no one signed the reimbursement procedures for him, so he could only wait.
On Monday, President Hua came to the office and asked me,"Is there anything going on these few days?”I said,"Last Friday, a few engineers sent some blueprints to the office for you to sign.”He said,"I told them that I wasn't in the office and asked you to sign on my behalf. Didn't they tell you?”Only then did I know that last Friday, those engineers asked me to sign on their behalf. It turned out that Hua had instructed them. I quickly explained to Hua,"I don't understand construction, so I can't sign on the blueprints.”"I don't understand either. I still have to sign it. The blueprints were drawn by the engineers and reviewed by the chief engineer. The general manager's signature was just a formality to indicate that the blueprints were approved for implementation.”I don't agree with this statement, but I can only obey Hua's opinion. The blueprints that needed to be brought to the project were usually sent by a long-distance bus from the provincial capital to the county (paid service). If there were people on the project, they would bring them back to the company.
At this moment, Sha also came to Hua's office. Hua told Sha that there were a few newly recruited college students that he wanted to bring to the construction site. He asked someone to call them all over, but only Xiao Wu and the ex-soldier Xiao Qiu came. Hua asked," Where are the others?”Little Wu mumbled," They've already left. I quit."”"Why did you leave? Did you know about this?”President Hua looked at me and asked. I didn't know about this at all, so I could only shake my head. Xiao Wu said," They heard that the living conditions at the construction site are very bad. The place they live in is dirty and full of mosquitoes. They have to cook their own food and eat by the roadside. They don't want to suffer like that.”Hua said," You still have to wait for me to come back and tell me before you leave.”Xiao Wu said," They're afraid that you'll come back, so they won't let them go.”Hua shook his head helplessly and asked," How did they know about the construction site?”Sha took the initiative to admit that he was the one who came back to tell them. He did not expect that a college student would run away without saying goodbye. He regretted telling them that. Hua didn't blame Sha. He just told him to be careful not to mention the harsh conditions on the construction site when he returned to the company in the future. In fact, Hua also understood that even if Sha did not say that the conditions at the construction site were difficult, he would also stop those college students who were afraid of hardship from leaving. This was because as long as they arrived at the construction site, they would know what was going on. There were only a few college students who went to the timber market project with Sha. Most of them had left. Some of them left the construction site without even saying goodbye. After the reform and opening up, the young people saw some things much simpler than the previous generation. They did not take everything seriously like the older generation. They thought that if they could do it, they would do it. If they could not do it, they would leave. Moreover, the company would not pay them their salaries if they resigned automatically, so they might as well leave.
At the moment, the company only had two young people left to be sent to the project. Little Wu could not be sent down, so only Little Qiu could be sent down. Hua plans to let the group office recruit people again. I suggest that instead of recruiting people in the provincial capital and sending them down, it's better to recruit and use them on the spot. This way, we can avoid the people being "acclimatized" and the cost of employing them will be more economical. Hua agreed with this suggestion, so he asked Sha to hire people directly in the local county, and the company would handle the procedures.
In terms of age, it was almost impossible to tell the difference between Sha and Hua. It seemed that the two of them were very compatible in terms of personality. After they finished talking about the previous matters, Sha took out a large stack of reimbursement documents from her bag and asked Hua to sign them. Hua frowned slightly and said," There are so many again?”"The cost of several people is not much. We are already saving enough.”Sha laughed. Hua said to Sha," There's a new vice president. He'll check your documents first before signing them for me.”Sha was a little unhappy when he heard that, but he still pleaded," Please approve it this time. The brothers at the construction site are still waiting for money. This is all paid by themselves.”Hua knew that Sha had to rush back to the construction site at noon, so he didn't say anything else. He took out a pen from his bag and signed the expense report.
Hua assigned Xiao Qiu to Sha. This time, he brought Xiao Qiu to the construction site and also asked Sha to bring the blueprints for the construction site. When Xiao Qiu entered the company, he knew that he would be sent to the construction site. He had already prepared daily cleaning items for the company. Sha and Xiao Qiu left Hua's office and went to the financial office of the group company. After receiving the money, they had to catch the long-distance bus to the county town at noon. Before we left, Sha said to me jokingly,"When are you coming? We'll wait for you there."”I didn't find it strange that he said this joke. Sooner or later, I would have to go to the construction site. Sha's joke didn't attract Hua's attention. After Sha left, Hua said to me,"Sha is a good person, but he's a little playful and needs to control his spending. In the future, when he comes to claim expenses, you have to help me check and verify it. If you can't claim it, you have to pick it out for him.”I still didn't know what kind of person Sha was, so I couldn't say much. I could only agree to it (After that, before it was my turn to review Sha's reimbursement, I was sent to the same construction site as Sha. This was something that would happen later).
Hua did not go on a business trip this week. A few days later, the chairman of the group came back from Shen Zhen. Old Zhao informed Hua and I to meet the chairman in Old Zhao's office, which is the chairman's office. During my interview, Old Zhao once said that this is a family business. I think the chairman must be a mature and steady person. Walking into the office, other than Old Zhao, there was a man in his thirties and two middle-aged women standing around the big office desk, chatting and laughing. Hua whispered to me that the man was the chairman and Old Zhao's middle school classmate. I couldn't believe it. He looked at least ten years younger than Old Zhao. He had delicate skin and tender flesh. He was already in his forties, but his face still looked like a pretty boy. Coupled with the fashionable foreign brand shirt, trousers, and leather shoes, it made him look even more youthful. He could not help but sigh at her good life.
At this moment, the chairman was having a heated discussion with the two middle-aged women who were shining with jewels. Old Zhao was sitting behind a table in the corner, looking for something in the drawer. In my opinion, he was not looking for anything, but some unconscious movements to cover up his disharmony in this occasion. When Hua and I came in, we didn't stop the chairman and the others from talking and laughing. They were still laughing and talking loudly. They were talking about that business deal that cost hundreds of thousands. They didn't care if others heard them. It was as if they were deliberately showing off in front of others. It was no wonder that the people of China had always been poor. It was not easy for them to obtain the policy of reform and opening up. Those who had become rich first would want to show off, and they would not be an exception.
