Chapter 504: First Day of Vacation

Hearing this, Gao Zhendong took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Well, you have to find the solution to your problem yourself. I dare not give you any random advice."

Don’t mention age, don’t mention whether you’ve been in a relationship or been married before, don’t mention whether you have children…

Well, since these things that others think are big things or even veto items have been ignored by him subconsciously, then there just happens to be someone who meets the remaining requirements.

——Qin Huairu who lives next door.

Moreover, among the women that Sha Zhu is familiar with, when it comes to technical jobs, there is no one more technically skilled than Qin Huairu. At least with the help of Yi Zhonghai, she was able to gain experience through her own efforts in the computing institute and on the workbench of the lithography machine.

The woman has to be a skilled worker. I've never heard of Shazhu having this requirement before.

Isn't this just shooting the arrow first and then drawing the target? This is what tailor-made recruitment is.

This guy probably has some thoughts in his subconscious mind, which in turn influence his actions in the real world.

Of course, Gao Zhendong couldn't explain this matter to him clearly. He had to think about it and decide it himself. Maybe his subconscious mind would change slowly.

When Sha Zhu heard this, he got anxious: "Come on, you've had your fill of wine and food, and now you're saying this to me? Zhendong, you're being so disloyal."

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "It can't be helped. Xiao'e and I just happened naturally. I don't have much experience in this kind of thing, so I can't help you. If I talk nonsense, it will hurt you. Come on, eat some food and drink some water."

If you don't agree, just bite me. But you can't beat me, so Gao Zhendong just acted like a rogue.

Sha Zhu couldn't do anything about it and could only watch as this "Zhuge Liang meeting" turned into a mere dinner party.

The two were eating when there was a knock on the door.

Sha Zhu put down his chopsticks and opened the door.

Standing at the door was Qin Huairu, smiling sweetly and holding a plate in her hands. A strand of hair hung down by her ear, as if she had just finished something busy and had no time to clean up.

"Sister Qin, what are you doing?" There were two grown men in the room, and Sha Zhu did not invite Qin Huairu in.

Qin Huairu stretched out her hand to smooth the black hair beside her ears and said with a smile, "I heard from my godmother that your blind date today didn't work out. I guess you're feeling unhappy, so you're drinking alone with Chief Engineer Gao. So, I fried some peanuts for you to go with your wine."

Godmother is an aunt, and since there are only these three people, Qin Huairu did not use the title of "aunt".

Seeing Qin Huairu's special weapon against Sha Zhu - fried peanuts appeared again, Gao Zhendong smiled and said nothing, just eating.

Qin Huairu was very angry at noon, but she calmed down by the evening. It seems that Banggeng is quite obedient.

Qin Huairu's gentle movement made Sha Zhu dumbfounded again.

"This, this is so embarrassing, Sister Qin, I'm sorry to trouble you." Sha Zhu spoke with a little stutter.

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "It's not just for you. Mr. Gao also needs to eat. If you were alone, no one would care about you."

No, just pretend I don't exist. Play your own games by yourselves. It's none of my business.

Gao Zhendong thought about it while picking up a piece of food with his chopsticks with a smile on his face.

Sha Zhu had no way to refuse, and it was not a good thing for Qin Huairu to always stand at his door, so he took the plate while thanking her.

"You guys continue eating. Don't worry about Yu Shui. I will take care of her and help her sleep." He Yu Shui's house was next door, so she didn't need to come to Sha Zhu's main house to rest.

After saying this, Qin Huairu turned around and left, as if she had come here specifically to deliver peanuts.

Sha Zhu put the plate down and said with a smile: "Hey, a plate of food for free, not bad, right?"

Gao Zhendong smiled and shook his head, saying nothing. Was it for nothing? Haha.

Sha Zhu picked up the peanuts and put them into his mouth happily.

As he was picking up the peanuts, the chopsticks suddenly stopped in mid-air, and the peanuts fell onto the plate with a "clank".

He shook his head violently: "No way, no way, definitely not. I must have drunk too much."

Looking at his appearance, Gao Zhendong just asked him to drink and eat.

Sha Zhu raised his head and looked at Gao Zhendong: "Zhendong, do you think there is something wrong with me?"

Gao Zhendong looked at him with a half-smile: "What's wrong?"

Sha Zhu shook his head: "I think I must have drunk too much. I just thought about it for a long time. Why do I feel that my conditions are comparable to those of Sister Qin? This is not right. How could I forget the conditions that I can't be married and can't have children? These are hard rules."

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "I can't tell you about this kind of thing. You know your own business only you know." "No, no, no wonder I felt you were acting weird today. Have you always felt that there was something wrong with the ideas in my head?" Sha Zhu drank a lot of wine, but his head didn't seem to be completely confused yet.

Gao Zhendong shook his head: "As long as it does not violate the rules, laws or ethics, there is nothing wrong with any of your ideas. In the end, how you look at it is still your own business. Others can't give you advice."

This kind of thing is a matter of mutual consent. Jia Dongxu has been dead for more than a year. It doesn't seem strange if they follow the arrangements in the TV series.

Seeing that Sha Zhu was still restless and fidgeting, Gao Zhendong picked up the wine glass and said, "If you can't figure it out right now, don't think about it. You've drunk a lot of wine now, so you may not be able to think it through. It's better to put it aside first, eat and drink well, and think about it slowly tomorrow when your head is clear. It doesn't cost you your life, why are you so panicked."

Yes, it's not life-threatening, so what's there to be afraid of? Sha Zhu seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and was happy again: "Yes, yes, yes, a person's eggs will turn upside down when he dies, but he will live forever. I'd better drink first, drink first."

The two of them raised their glasses and drank wine back and forth.

But whether this matter really ends here, only Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu themselves know.
-
On February 2st, Gao Zhendong, who was bored to the extreme, finally went to work. After seeing off Lou Xiaoe, he happily got on his bike and rushed to the factory.

Many people greeted him along the way, as if they were happy to see him finally back to work.

"Look, Chief Engineer Gao is finally back to work."

"That's what I said. I have other jobs. I don't know who said I'm going to quit."

"Down? Where to go? Why? Who will make up for it?"

"Alas, Chief Engineer Gao is good in every way, except that his wife is from outside the system."

"Come on, how can we not know what's going on in your little head?"

"..."

Greeting his comrades along the way, Gao Zhendong rode his bike to the factory office to cancel his leave, and then turned back to the third factory.

Things like reporting off leave are like going to the toilet. Even if you are a leading cadre, it is best for you to go in person.

As soon as he entered the office, Yan Chengde came over with a pile of documents.

"Lao Gao, please look at these and sign them as soon as possible. You don't know how hard I've been working these past few weeks. Now that you're back, I feel much more relaxed."

This is actually not so true. For Old Yan, whether Gao Zhendong is there or not, his workload is almost the same. Even if Gao Zhendong comes back, the work he cares about will still be the same, so Director Yan will still be busy.

But I still have to say this. First of all, it shows the importance and indispensability of Gao Zhendong as the top leader, and secondly, it also shows that I work very seriously and hard.

Gao Zhendong took these things and put them down, then asked Director Yan to sit down and talk.

The main purpose was to communicate about the progress and current status of work during the weeks when Gao Zhendong was away from the factory, as well as difficult and urgent issues that needed to be resolved.

Before the two of them had chatted for a few words, Gao Zhendong's phone kept ringing, and he answered it one after another.

I guess they have already informed the Third Factory, so please ask the comrades there to keep a close eye on them and notify Chief Engineer Gao immediately when he returns to work.

I guess everyone has received the news now, so the calls are coming one after another.

Gao Zhendong had no choice but to talk to Director Yan for a few words, answer a phone call, write down a bunch of things, talk for a few more words, then answer another phone call, write down a bunch of things again, and repeat this cycle over and over again.

Something that could have been basically communicated in half an hour was dragged out to nearly two hours. Gao Zhendong was on the phone for half of the time, and spent a small part of the time recalling and continuing the interrupted topics and matters.

However, Director Yan is very patient. The Third Factory has more than a thousand employees and the top leader has been away for more than 20 days. It must be like this when he just comes back, not to mention that Chief Engineer Gao has a lot of things to do outside.

After finally communicating everything, the only thing left is a specific matter that needs to be decided immediately.

"Boss Gao, it's almost the end of the year. The factory can pay our wages, but we have to arrange some benefits ourselves. Do you think we can start taking care of this?"

The word "New Year's Eve" is not a nice word. "New Year's Eve is hard but we celebrate it every year." New Year's Eve does not only mean delicious food and fun things, but also for some people, it means the day to pay off debts. In the old society, it may mean another round of family breakdown and death.

In the new society, this kind of thing is much better, but everyone is used to saying this word. However, for the leaders of the unit, it is also a small hurdle. Should the rewards be given? Should the promotions be given? Everyone has worked hard for a year, so they should at least give some benefits, right?

Welfare is a reflection of the ability and connections of an organization's leadership. Nowadays, to some extent, some practical things are more important than money. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy things, or you may not be able to buy things that match the money.

To give a simple example, if meat is 100 yuan per pound, then when distributing benefits this year, basically everyone hopes to receive a pound of meat instead of 100 yuan.

The same is true for cloth, non-staple food, sugar, tobacco, alcohol, etc.

Lao Yan is an old middle-level manager, but he has no advantage in this regard. Moreover, the logistics supply of the third factory is connected with the main factory. If the main factory does not have it, the third factory does not have it either, which makes Lao Yan feel that it is a little lacking.
