Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 1134: The Battle for Talent
Now thinking about it, I’m glad I didn’t say it.

Although this young master is not very old, his skills are amazing.

The second-in-command of the technical department thought of the young master's good skills, and came to Director Li with a flattering face, saying: "Director Li, which factory is this young master from? Can he be transferred to our factory? I will give him my second-in-command position."

Director Li glanced at him and said unhappily, "Forget it. The young master is a consultant for the Beijing Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and will be attending Q University when school starts."

"Ah!" The second-in-command of the technical department was a little disappointed.

But after thinking about it, his eyes lit up again, and he asked tentatively: "Since the young master is a consultant of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, can we also invite him to be a consultant in our factory? I heard you just said that Master Xiao Zhang's maternal family is here, so in this way, Master Xiao Zhang is also half of our people.

Isn't this just right? If we invite Master Zhang to be our consultant, he doesn't have to come many times a year. Just one or two times will be enough. It's like visiting relatives and elders."

After hearing this, Director Li seemed to be enlightened.

You know, it's not easy to find a skilled master these days. It's a pity to give up after finally finding one.

Moreover, they are both veterans and factory managers. Why can Lao Yang hire the other party as a consultant but he can't?

At this time in Beijing, the conference room was filled with a solemn and dignified atmosphere. Director Yang, who was presiding over the meeting, suddenly sneezed, breaking the silence.

"Director Yang, are you okay?" the secretary sitting next to him asked with concern.

Director Yang shook his head slightly, a smile appeared on his face, and he joked humorously: "I'm fine, I guess someone is saying bad things about me behind my back."

His words were meaningful, yet revealed a certain calmness and open-mindedness, causing everyone in the conference room to laugh in silence.

Director Yang, who was still in the mood to joke and laugh at this time, had no idea that someone was already planning to take away the trump card in his hand.

If he knew what Director Li was thinking at this moment, he would probably not care about the friendship between the two and would have to fight with the other party no matter what.

However, the matter soon reached the ears of Director Yang, who flew into a rage upon hearing the news and severely criticized Director Li.

According to eyewitnesses on that day, when Director Yang learned from a phone call that his old comrade was trying to poach his staff, there was silence in his office for a moment, and then deafening curses rang out, which echoed for a long time, and the sound could be said to linger in the room for three days.

Three months later, Director Li came to Beijing on a business trip, and Director Yang was also sent to study. The two of them and several old comrades who had not seen each other for a long time were assigned to a guesthouse.

When the two old comrades met again after a long separation, Director Yang's first reaction was not to hug his comrade or invite him to drink, but to punch him directly, hitting him twice in the chest.

He cursed bitterly, "You old bastard! How can you do things like this? I asked Master Xiao Zhang to help you with good intentions, but you, an old bastard, actually dared to steal my girlfriend. Do you have any shame?"

Director Li felt a little guilty about this, as he had indeed not handled this matter in a proper manner.

But who can blame Master Zhang for being a talent? How can we have the nerve to snatch his talent?

Whoever has shame is a fool!
Besides, Master Zhang is not from the same family. At this time, whoever acts faster and more generously will have the advantage.

Although Director Li was a little nervous, he pretended to be calm on the surface and retorted: "When did I steal your people? Besides, Master Xiao Zhang is not fixed to your factory. Isn't it based on ability? I am capable and can keep Master Xiao Zhang. What's wrong with that? Is it not possible?"

"You, you, you..." Director Yang was so angry at his old comrade's shameless behavior that his face turned red.

"What's wrong with me? I'm really good at keeping Master Zhang here!" Director Li was very proud of himself for trying so hard and using all kinds of tricks to finally get Master Zhang to agree to be a consultant for the factory. "You have no shame!" Director Yang scolded.

"Ha! So you wanted to save face when you were trying to snatch talent." Director Li cursed back without any fear.

"..."

"..."

The two old comrades cursed each other for a long time, and they even laughed themselves to death.

The two smiled at each other, then hugged each other.

"long time no see!"

"long time no see!"

Little did he know that this scene was seen and remembered by others.

Those who can come this time are leaders of various factories. Even if they are not factory directors, they are directors who hold great power.

They are very sensitive about some things.

Someone silently kept in mind the quarrel between the two Master Zhang, and wanted to find out what kind of person could make two old comrades quarrel like this.

Several comrades-in-arms of the two men rolled their eyes, looked at each other, and walked towards the two men tacitly.

Several people walked to the two men very naturally. One of them put his hand on Director Yang's shoulder, another on Director Li's shoulder, and the remaining two people didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the position where they stopped just formed a circle with the other two people, surrounding Director Li and Director Yang in the middle.

One of them said with a smile: "Old comrade, what you did is not authentic. How can you keep such an excellent talent to yourself?"

"That's right. We have been comrades for so many years. There is nothing we can't share. Such a great talent should at least be loaned to us for two days."

"Yes, yes, we won't borrow it for long. Each person only needs to borrow it for ten days or half a month. I promise that I will return it to its original owner in the end."

As soon as these words were spoken, Director Yang and Director Li's faces turned dark.

They glared at each other fiercely, cursing in their hearts that the other party spoke without considering the place, and yet could still be friendly even though these old robbers heard it.

"What are you talking about? Talent or no talent? I don't have any talent here. You guys have taken all of them away.

I applied to the higher-ups many times last year, but they didn’t get anyone. I heard that the person was taken away by you guys.” Director Yang changed the subject.

Director Li then said: "Speaking of talents, the masters in your factory are the real talents.

You also said that we have been comrades for many years. I just happened to encounter some problems. Several old masters in the factory have been working on them for a long time, but they haven't found a solution. How about you lend me some old masters in your factory for a few days? I don't need ten days or half a month, five or six days will be enough."

The other few people didn't expect that Director Li and Director Yang would be so difficult to deal with. They looked at each other again and made a judgment in their hearts. It seems that the talents the two had just mentioned really exist, otherwise they would not have talked so much and tried to change the subject.
