Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chen Changan didn’t really care about it. After all, this was a common problem in all major factories.

Is there no factional strife among the senior management of that large factory? Just like the steel mill across the street.

The dispute between Director Yang and Li Huaide was known throughout the steel mill to be a source of dissatisfaction between the two.

So what? You can't deal with me, and I can't deal with you. The factory still completes its tasks. Even the superiors are happy to see this situation.

Even if there are some minor flaws in my work, you can't defeat me and I can't defeat you.

Everyone compromises with each other until one side has no more bargaining chips to compromise with. After that, they just withdraw sadly.

When Chen Changan learned that the department had assigned a deputy director in charge of production to the motorcycle factory, Chen Changan began to prepare for counterattack.

Since Uncle Nie did not show up, he naturally did not agree to arrange a deputy director for the motorcycle factory.

At least Uncle Nie thinks that it is better for the motorcycle factory to maintain its current condition.

But some things, sometimes, are not decided by one person.

Uncle Nie's behavior has expressed his attitude, but it is useless. Your background may be big, but it does not mean that others' background is smaller than yours.

So even if Uncle Nie does not show up, it is actually a compromise.

Since I can't rely on others, I can only rely on myself.

The motorcycle factory did not have a deputy director before. The department did not arrange one, and Chen Changan did not arrange one either. Everyone had a tacit understanding among themselves.

But now some people want to intervene and try to gain some qualifications for advancement.

After all, according to Lin Liheng's age, a regiment commander was transferred to a motorcycle factory, and the department was discussing the issue of upgrading the motorcycle factory at that time.

Is there any need to say this? In a few months, Lin Liheng's deputy factory director will also be promoted.

If he defeated Chen Changan, Lin Liheng, as the only deputy factory director, would be directly appointed as the factory director. Wouldn't that be a step forward?

When he is transferred to the department, wouldn't Lin Liheng be promoted three levels in just a few months?

Thinking of this, looking at Lin Liheng who was still chatting with Liu Binghui, Chen Changan smiled disdainfully.

The department had not arranged a deputy factory director before, and it was difficult for Chen Changan to make one himself.

But now that it has been arranged, then I, Chen Changan, can also arrange it.

As for the candidate, there was one ready-made, Shi Heping, who had studied motorcycles with Chen Changan at the Honeycomb Coal Factory.

You, Lin Liheng, are in charge of production? You want to take my power? Originally, Chen Changan was in charge of production, and Liu Ninghui was in charge of personnel.

Now that Lin Liheng is here, he is in charge of production. What does Chen Changan take charge of? Logistics? Can he still be called the factory director? Isn't that the same as Li Huaide in the steel mill?

Since you want to be a deputy director in charge of production, then fine, I will let Shi Heping be the deputy director in charge of technology.

Since you don't take care of logistics, I, Chen Changan, will take care of it. Let Nan Yi be the canteen director. In the future, when it comes to purchasing and money, without Chen Changan's approval, you, Lin Liheng, will not be able to move forward.

Even if you want to have a special meal, without Chen Changan's approval, you, Lin Liheng, will have to eat the same food as the workers.

Following Chen Changan's instructions, Nan Yi began to cook. Since Chen Changan didn't drink, he didn't have any interaction with Lin Liheng, so it was fine for him to eat by himself.

After dinner, Chen Changan returned to his office and continued reading the newspaper.

Afterwards, after finishing his meal, Liu Binghui came to Chen Changan’s office.

Seeing Chen Changan reading the newspaper with peace of mind, he said, "How can you be so at ease? Aren't you afraid that your position will be lost?"

Chen Changan said without even raising his head, "My position was given to me by the country and the people, not by someone.

If one day the country and the people feel that I am no longer fit to continue working in this position, it is the country and the people who will stop me from doing this, not any particular person.”

Liu Binghui smiled and said, "I think you have figured it out. I win over one and suppress the other. When you are squeezed out, it will be my turn.

Regardless of the reason why I transferred to the motorcycle factory, or the instructions of my old boss, I also understand the principle that the lips and teeth are cold.

We have been working together for a while now, and I feel like we have a good understanding and get along well with each other.

I have also seen the contribution of the motorcycle factory to the country and the people. Even if it is out of selfishness, I don't want to see this motorcycle factory that I founded, being messed up by them.

So, no matter what happens in the future, I will always stand by your side."

Chen Changan nodded without comment, and he was indeed thinking about speeding up the promotion of Shi Heping to deputy factory director.

We can even consider promoting Sister Hou from the Finance Department to be the deputy factory director in charge of logistics.

Sometimes, the relationship between leaders is actually very similar to that between countries. There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

Chen Changan didn't believe in the so-called arrangement of the old leader or the fact that he didn't want others to mess up the motorcycle factory.

The old leader's arrangement is just an arrangement, what does it mean? There are also many people who do not follow the arrangement or listen to the instructions but not the announcement.

As for not wanting the motorcycle factory to be in a mess, how do you know that after I become the factory director, I will be worse than when Chen Changan was the factory director?

You haven't even seen my abilities, so how do you know I'm inferior to Chen Changan?

You should know that Liu Binghui’s two sons are still in the army. Lin Liheng or the Lin family has a very high status in the army.

Liu Binghui is about to retire, but it is possible that he can help his two sons before retiring.

Chen Changan could no longer completely trust Liu Binghui. After all, if he wanted to make his position clear, he could not look at what he said, but what he did.

If he wanted to draw a clear line with Lin Liheng, he should have expressed it during the meal today. Since he didn't express it in person and explained it afterwards, Chen Changan had to be on guard.

As for the secretary managing personnel, that's a joke. It's really not Liu Binghui's business to decide who Chen Changan wants to promote.

In the following two days, Chen Changan's proposal to the ministry to appoint Shi Heping and Hou Jie as deputy directors of the motorcycle factory was approved.

Now, the leaders of the motorcycle factory are no longer just Chen Changan and Liu Binghui.

Lin Liheng's face was gloomy when he got the news. The leaders who were parachuted into the factory and the leaders who were promoted from the factory were naturally incompatible.

The love I receive from the workers is also different. At least when I walk around the workshop, no worker takes the initiative to say hello to me.

Look at Shi Heping again, his popularity is incomparable.

Besides, he was a deputy factory director parachuted in, and above him were the factory director and the secretary, so what he said didn't count at all.

Lin Liheng also felt Chen Changan's counterattack. Even Liu Binghui, who had been somewhat ambiguous with him, began to distance himself from him after learning that there were two more deputy factory directors.

This made Lin Liheng, who had been praised as a genius since childhood, a little troubled. Chen Changan was really difficult to deal with.
