Siheyuan: 55 years, starting from a buyer

By the way, how is Director Qin's health recently? "Director Lan asked with concern.

"He's fine, thank you for your concern." Mr. Chen replied.

"That's good.

In fact, we have a vacant position for a team leader in the Planning Department, and you can take over immediately, including the work of the grocery store. You should be quite familiar with that area. "Director Lan explained in detail.

Mr. Chen was deeply grateful for Director Lan's arrangement and felt as if he had been sent on a ship of success.

"I'm deeply honored. I will do my best not to disappoint you and strictly follow your instructions." Chen Sheng sighed and promised.

“Well, you can go.

I have already communicated with Zhao Qian, the head of the Planning Department. "After that, Director Lan asked Chen Sheng to leave.

After leaving Director Lan’s office, Chen Sheng quickly found the Planning Department under the guidance of others.

Wow, the Planning Department is really big. There are signs of "Planning Department" on all the office doors.

There was a soft knock on the door.

"Chief Zhao, excuse me, I'm Mr. Chen who has just been transferred here, and I'm here to report in." Mr. Chen said respectfully as he walked into the office.

"Oh, Comrade Chen, welcome! It's great that you joined the Planning Department!" Section Chief Zhao was full of enthusiasm, obviously because of Director Lan's greeting.

"Chief Zhao, I just got here and I don't understand many things yet. Please give me more guidance in the future. I will learn with an open mind." Mr. Chen said sincerely.

"You come from Director Lan's group, so I naturally trust you.

Come, I'll take you to the office." Section Chief Zhao stood up comfortingly.

Section Chief Zhao didn't walk far before leading Mr. Chen into a room that looked like a store office. The interior layout was no different from that of the store, and it was equipped with a small studio.

"This is your new position. See if there are any other items you need and we will provide them for you as soon as possible." Section Chief Zhao pointed to the office and explained.

"This office is already very comfortable. Thank you very much, Chief Zhao." Mr. Chen replied respectfully.

"Let me introduce them to you. These are the other members of the team. They will assist you in distributing materials in the grocery store." Section Chief Zhao introduced the new colleagues one by one.

Facing each person, Mr. Chen nodded to show friendly welcome.

"You need to familiarize yourself with the environment first. If you have any questions, you can always come to me." After saying this, Section Chief Zhao left, leaving Mr. Chen some private space.

Mr. Chen cordially saw Section Chief Zhao off. It was a rare courtesy for a section chief to personally preside over his inauguration.

In the office, Mr. Chen briefly introduced himself and encouraged the team, saying, "Hello everyone, I am Mr. Chen, and I will be working with you from now on.

I hope…");

A young female employee, Wang Shuwen, stood up and said, “Hello, Team Leader Chen, the leader mentioned your joining in advance.

I will take you to the Human Resources Department to complete the entry formalities, and then explain the job content to you in detail.

Mr. Chen nodded to express his gratitude: "Thank you very much, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Wang Shuwen accompanied him through the entry procedures, and for the first time in his life, Chen Sheng truly became a member of the Third Commercial Bureau.

On the way back to the office, Wang Shuwen had already started explaining their work tasks.

“Team Leader Chen, our current project team’s tasks are relatively simple. Our main job is to compile and report the data of various commodities under our supervision to the higher authorities.

We will first collect and organize these data, and then hand them over to our colleagues at the Statistics Bureau for further summary and analysis.

Currently, the core responsibilities of our team are to prepare monthly reports and monitor the sales data of our subsidiaries.

For a time, it became increasingly clear that Chen Sheng had become the core of power in this work.

Daily work and daily reports are usually generated by subordinates, but resource monitoring of grassroots stores is the part that holds real power.

Once material planning is involved, even the slightest increase or decrease will have a profound impact on store operations.

It seems that the storage and transportation of materials are under the jurisdiction of the logistics department, but this is where the real power lies.

It should also be noted that the Third Bureau of Commerce is in charge of many areas in the city, including vegetables, non-staple foods, and catering industries. It covers industries such as sugar, cakes, eggs, groceries, and salt affairs, and even involves tobacco, alcohol, and the supply of state-owned industries.

After understanding these details, Chen Sheng suddenly realized that his role was more important than he had imagined.

"It seems that Director Lan really thinks highly of me." Chen Sheng secretly sighed, "Just with a word from my senior, I got such a substantial position."

So he made up his mind that his first priority was to understand and integrate into the team as quickly as possible.

"Comrade Wang Shuwen!" Chen Sheng's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Team leader, do you have any instructions?" Wang Shuwen responded immediately and walked into his office.

"Could you please organize a meeting and invite everyone to come over?" Mr. Chen suggested holding a meeting.

In a moment, all six members of the office gathered here.

"Please take a seat. If you feel uncomfortable, you can move a few more chairs. This is our first meeting. Don't be restrained. Let's chat about work." Mr. Chen gave a lively opening remark.

After everyone was seated, he continued, "As the new team leader, I hope everyone can get to know each other first so that we can work together better."

Afterwards, Mr. Chen introduced the team members one by one:

- Wang Shuwen, 24 years old, is the youngest member of the team. Although she is only three years older than the team leader Chen Sheng, she is diligent and capable at work and has an excellent university background in Beijing.

Director Zhao had told Mr. Chen in advance that he guessed she was a key member of the team in her previous work.

- Wang Li is 35 years old, Zhang Hua is 38 years old, Wu Xiao is 29 years old, and Xu Chong is 40 years old. These four people are of different ages, but they are undoubtedly indispensable characters.

Mr. Chen's goal is to get to know his colleagues more deeply, not just to exchange pleasantries.

Despite the greetings, some potential conflicts were not completely resolved, especially Xu Chong's attitude, who seemed reluctant to accept the new team leader position.

However, this was not unexpected to Mr. Chen.

When a company needs to make a selection, there are always employees who hope to change jobs or get promoted.

Although he has not yet engaged in an open confrontation, he understands that he must deal with problems firmly when they arise.

He was not yet clear about the specific needs of each employee, but Mr. Chen was sure that he had the ability and confidence to re-plan everyone's division of labor.

After arranging the initial work instructions, he said to everyone: "Wang Shuwen, please put these past reports on my desk and I will take some time to review them.

Next, please maintain normal working order, I will continue to pay attention. "Wang Shuwen responded: "Okay, team leader."

After Mr. Chen left the office, he caught the sound of conversation inside the room from not far away.

Zhang Hua said, "The new team leader seems quite reasonable. I hope he won't cause us trouble like the last one."

"Hmph, he's just a little brat. He knows nothing and yet he wants to order me around!" Xu Chong said angrily.

"If someone targets you, what can you do? After all, he is your boss." Wang Li said sarcastically. Anyone with a discerning eye could feel that his relationship with Xu Chong was not harmonious.

"What does it have to do with you?" Xu Chong's face changed suddenly.

"It's no use getting angry, if you have the guts go find Team Leader Chen and get angry.

Besides, what does your failure to be elected as the team leader have to do with me?" Wang Li said with contempt.

"That's right, it's better to keep a low profile at work. I don't want to offend the higher-ups." Zhang Hua joined the conversation at the right time.

"It's really nothing big. Last month's work has been completed. Maybe we should breathe a sigh of relief." Wu Xiao expressed his opinion.

"You guys, once the team leader is changed, do you still have to make decisions on your own?" Wang Li's words were barbed, obviously aimed at Xu Chong.

Mr. Chen speculated that the disputes might have been caused by the position issues they had fought over. "I prefer to stay in an environment that I am familiar with. Changing positions is really too stressful," Wu Xiao said, revealing his uneasiness.

There seemed to be a hidden meaning in Zhang Hua's words. Chen Sheng, standing nearby, could hear that there seemed to be some potential benefits in the store. "Your vision is too narrow." Zhang Hua hinted that the store might be profitable.

Mr. Chen listened there for a while and then left. He had a preliminary understanding of the team, especially noting the trouble that Xu Chong might bring.

But he knew very well that he was not suitable to be a leader and had no strong desire for promotion.

Yet the thought of working in a position of real power still appealed to him.

With the help of Director Qin, I can build up my network of contacts, which will be beneficial no matter where I am in the future. "Brother Li, I'm back." He walked in with a smile on his face.

"You look so high-spirited. The effect should be good. Where will you be transferred to?" Purchasing Manager Li asked curiously.

"I went to the Planning Department of the Third Bureau and became a team leader." As soon as he finished speaking, Purchasing Manager Li was ecstatic.

"Oh my God, that's a great place. You are a real leader now." Purchasing Li congratulated excitedly.

"You're really awesome to be transferred to the Planning Department." Wang Gang said, with a hint of envy in his tone.

"Do you want to give it a try?" Mr. Chen took the initiative to suggest.

"Well, I don't know how to decide yet. My family's opinions will prevail." Wang Gang replied, giving Mr. Chen a signal that he might resign.

Li Caicai quickly realized this: "It seems that our department is going to have two big bosses. I will invite everyone to celebrate tonight."

"Let me treat you to this. Why should I ask you to pay since you just got promoted?" Mr. Chen said with a smile.

"It's all fine, as long as you're happy." Purchasing Manager Li agreed happily.

"Oh, by the way, I have to report to Director Sun." At this time, Mr. Chen remembered the purpose of his visit.

When reporting to Director Sun, Director Sun was extremely delighted to learn that Mr. Chen would not only be in charge of the Planning Department of the Third Bureau, but would also be responsible for store affairs.

"Mr. Chen, your information is still with us. I'd like to ask you to take care of our business in the future." Director Sun said with a smile.

"Please rest assured, Director Sun. I will definitely do it." Mr. Chen responded enthusiastically.

"Well, I'll treat you dinner tonight to express my congratulations," Director Sun suggested.

Mr. Chen was a little embarrassed, but still polite: "I have arranged a party with my colleagues in the department tonight. I can't break my promise when I take office for the first time.

But I am happy for you to treat me, Director Sun. After all, I have always wanted to find an opportunity to have dinner together with the Planning Department staff. "

"That's no problem, let's get together and you can do your thing.

It was really difficult to invite people from there before, but now you are one of us." Director Sun said with a smile. "Just do as Director Sun said." Chen Sheng agreed.
