Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

The crowd dispersed, leaving only Liu Haizhong leaning on the chair with a gloomy face, his pair of eyes as big as copper bells staring straight ahead, heavy breath coming out of his nostrils.

The oppressive atmosphere frightened the two brothers Liu Guangtian, who were standing by their sides, so much that they trembled in fear and dared not say a word.

They knew that their father was the most dangerous at this moment, and would vent all his anger at the slightest dissatisfaction.

The two of them who are closest to each other often become the scapegoats and suffer extremely cruel treatment.

"What are you standing there for? Help me up!"

After a moment of silence, Liu Haizhong suddenly spoke.

The two Liu Guangtian brothers shuddered and almost fell on their chairs, and hurriedly went to help their father up.

“They are clumsy and can’t even do the smallest things properly. They are really useless.

Oh, it would be great if Guangqi were still here."

Liu Haizhong held his two sons' shoulders and struggled to stand up, while still complaining.

The more unhappy his life is now, the more Liu Haizhong misses his deceased eldest son, and the more he dislikes his two younger sons.

Still young and without the ability to resist, the two Liu Guangtian brothers could only silently endure the double blow from the body and the mind, suppressing the pain and despair in their hearts, turning them into seeds of hatred that took root, sprouted, and grew healthily.

With the support of his two sons, Liu Haizhong walked home step by step.

Being seriously injured, he couldn't carry out all his plans. He could only endure it temporarily and wait for his body to recover.

……

The change in jurisdiction did not bring much impact to the residents of the courtyard. Everyone was busy making plans and put all trivial matters behind them, and seemed to have forgotten Cheng Hao.

Liu Haizhong’s speech in the courtyard soon reached Cheng Hao’s ears.

However, Cheng Hao just smiled and thought it was just a joke.

What kind of waves can a clown-like guy with just bangs make?

Compared with the restless neighbors in the courtyard, Cheng Hao is more concerned about the work of the street office.

Since there were almost no personnel changes, the situation inside the subdistrict office was quite calm.

However, as the jurisdiction expands, the workload will inevitably increase.

With the same staff, all the employees of the street office became busier, and even Deputy Director Luo, who was usually lazy, had to work overtime.

"Director Cheng, I think our subdistrict office needs to hire a few more temporary workers, otherwise we will be too busy."

Deputy Director Luo, who couldn't stand working overtime, quickly went to Cheng Hao to give his suggestions.

There is too much work to handle, so increasing the number of employees is a common practice.

Regular employees have a stable job and it is not easy to increase their number at will, but more temporary workers can be hired.

Temporary workers are not considered formal staff, are easy to lay off, and do not require much compensation, making them an indispensable part of many units.

"Deputy Director Luo, how many temporary workers do you think would be appropriate?"

Cheng Hao thought about it for a while and agreed in his heart. After all, he didn't want to work overtime every day and be exhausted.

Ever since he became the director of the Xining Sub-district Office, Cheng Hao has attached great importance to increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. The unit's financial situation is good, so increasing the salaries of a few temporary workers is not a problem.

"There is a shortage of people in every position. I think we should hire a few more temporary workers to give everyone some relief."

Deputy Director Luo laughed and did not give any specific numbers, but made his attitude clear.

Of course the more temporary workers the better. With more people working, he, the deputy director, will have some free time to rest.

Furthermore, being a temporary worker in the street office is a good job. When it comes to recruiting, some secret operations will be necessary, and there will definitely be a lot of benefits.

"Ok.

This time we have added five alleys in our jurisdiction. I think adding one more temporary worker in each alley will be enough, and hiring five more people.

Deputy Director Luo, when hiring, we should promote the best, not avoid relatives. Please recommend someone when recruiting."

Cheng Hao still maintained a considerable degree of restraint and did not hire too many temporary workers at one time.

On the one hand, we don’t want to add too much burden to the unit’s finances, but we can’t spend money indiscriminately even if we have it, as there are many places to spend money.

Secondly, the newly recruited temporary workers have not been tested, and hiring so many at once may backfire and be detrimental to the work of the subdistrict office. More people does not mean higher efficiency. Cheng Hao knew that too many people would make the job worse.

Personnel changes involve the core interests of the unit. Cheng Hao needs the support of Deputy Director Luo, so he gives him face and gives him a recruitment quota.

After getting this benefit, Deputy Director Luo will not be able to act recklessly anymore.

Otherwise, who knows how many troubles will arise during recruitment.

"All arrangements will be made by Director Cheng."

After getting a spot, Deputy Director Luo nodded contentedly in agreement.

Cheng Hao, the head of the subdistrict office, is guaranteed to have one recommendation quota. It is impossible to recommend all of the remaining four quotas, so one or two have to be set aside for public recruitment, and the remaining quotas become very scarce.

It’s great that Deputy Director Luo was able to lock down the next one first.

The top two leaders of the subdistrict office reached a consensus and decided to hire temporary workers. The next step was to let the lower levels carry out the implementation.

After Deputy Director Luo left, Cheng Hao leaned back in his office chair with his eyes closed, thinking about who to recommend as the temporary worker.

Nepotism is not a positive word, but it is unavoidable in actual work.

In the final analysis, personnel is politics. Cheng Hao, the director of the street office, also needs to employ people. If he doesn't promote his confidants, how can others be willing to work for him?

Furthermore, the risks can be controlled because the people who are close to you know each other well, but the people who are distant from you still need to be investigated, which takes a lot of time and energy, and the cost must also be taken into consideration.

……

After a day's work, Cheng Hao didn't need to work overtime today. As soon as the get off work time came, he immediately rushed downstairs and rode his bicycle to pick up his wife.

The couple returned home, had a simple dinner, washed up, and then sat at the stone table in the yard to chat.

"Yun'er, our company is planning to recruit temporary workers. Do you have any recommendations?"

Cheng Hao told him what happened today.

Xu Yun was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Director Cheng, you are leaking the unit's information."

“There is no such thing as leaking information.

What has been decided will be announced tomorrow through posting notices, so it is not a secret. "

Cheng Hao spread his hands and said innocently.

Xu Yun was relentless and approached Cheng Hao, asking, "Then why are you asking me to recommend someone? Isn't that using public power for personal gain?"

Cheng Hao put his arm around his wife's slender waist and slapped her hips.

"Nonsense, I'm selecting talents for the company, I'm being impartial, understand?"

"Ouch~"

Xu Yun exclaimed softly, squinted her eyes, pursed her lips and said: "Bad guy, you only know how to bully me~"

"Stop joking, Yun'er, I'm serious."

Cheng Hao placed his beloved wife on his lap and kneaded her shoulders restlessly with his hands.

"This is your unit's business. You decide for yourself."

Xu Yun didn't know anyone nearby, and even if she did, she wasn't going to cause trouble for her husband.

She just wanted to stay at home, do housework, and provide strong support to Cheng Hao.
