Liu Yuqian's sudden remark made the atmosphere in the room extremely tense and oppressive.
Chen Guang glared fiercely at Liu Yuqian and retorted, "Liu Yuqian, why aren't you in the workshop doing your record-keeping? Are you here to cause trouble?"
Liu Yuqian gritted her teeth and replied, "I'm just stating facts!"
"In terms of seniority, I'm also more senior than Li Ya!"
"If the secretary position is to be rotated, it should be my turn, shouldn't it?"
At this moment, Liu Kai Xuan also said, "Secretary Chen, it's not appropriate to assign a female secretary to me, a man, right?"
Simultaneously, Li Ya, who was standing opposite, also spoke.
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. I will only do my job and will not interfere with your personal life!"
Chen Guang chuckled awkwardly and replied, "Kai Xuan, you've seen it. The female comrade herself doesn't mind..."
"Alright!"
Liu Kai Xuan nodded repeatedly and said, "Since she herself isn't embarrassed, I won't say anything more!"
"Brother Kai Xuan, I..." Liu Yuqian stood to the side, stomping her feet anxiously!
At this time, Liu Kai Xuan also glared fiercely at Liu Yuqian.
"Liu Yuqian, I must issue a stern warning to you today!"
"If you have any doubts about the factory's arrangements, you can go to the factory leaders to report it!"
"Don't waste my time here. I'm very busy now and don't have time to talk nonsense with you!"
"Hmph!" Liu Yuqian snorted coldly and left the office.
Chen Guang continued, "These two comrades will officially start working today!"
"They are both interns. Section Chief Liu, please take good care of them when needed!"
"That's natural!" Liu Kai Xuan nodded in agreement. "Don't worry, Secretary Chen!"
The technical section has long faced the problem of serious talent drain, and it's not a new issue.
Liu Kai Xuan naturally had to find ways to keep the recruited interns.
After Chen Guang left, Liu Kai Xuan took Wang Lecheng and Li Ya to the workshop.
Seeing Liu Kai Xuan bringing new people, Liu Dakui walked up and suggested.
"Kai Xuan, how about this?"
"Le Cheng is a man, let him do machine repair!"
"Li Ya is a woman, let her do the archival recording work with Qianqian!"
If Liu Dakui were still the section chief of the technical section, he would have arranged it this way.
However, Liu Kai Xuan was now the section chief, and Liu Dakui had become the deputy section chief.
Before making any formal arrangements, Liu Dakui naturally had to seek Liu Kai Xuan's opinion.
Liu Kai Xuan thought for a moment and said, "How about this? They are both new!"
"Let's not rush to assign them fixed positions. Let them observe and intern in the workshop for a day first!"
"After a day, I will talk to them individually and arrange their specific positions according to their own wishes!"
"Understood, Section Chief Liu!"
Liu Dakui nodded repeatedly and said, "I know what to do!"
Under Liu Kai Xuan's arrangement, Wang Lecheng and Li Ya entered the frontline to observe.
At this moment, Liu Yuqian hurried to find Liu Dakui.
Although Liu Yuqian appeared carefree every day, this girl was actually very shrewd.
Being a secretary was a good job!
A secretary had a monthly position salary of 8 yuan. Although this salary was not as high as that of a deputy section chief,
it was better to have money than no money. Most importantly, in terms of power, a secretary's power was, to some extent, greater than that of a deputy position.
The job was respectable and paid well. She would never have to suffer hardship on the production line again.
Liu Dakui felt it was quite inappropriate after listening to Liu Yuqian's complaints.
"What is the factory's intention in doing this?"
"Logically, the promotion of staff should also follow a sequence!"
"Qianqian's seniority, in any case, is slightly higher than Li Ya's!"
"Why should the secretary position automatically go to an intern like Li Ya?"
"Exactly!"
Liu Yuqian said indignantly, "I joined the factory first!"
"Li Ya is a university student, but am I, Liu Yuqian, not a university student?"
"This kind of differential treatment is infuriating!"
"Dad, you have to go talk to Kai Xuan and try to get me the office secretary position!"
Liu Dakui said in a deep voice, "Since Li Ya was assigned by the factory, going to Liu Kai Xuan is useless. I'll go ask the factory director about the situation!"
With that, Liu Dakui left the workshop to find Yang Zheng.
...
As a result, Liu Dakui rushed out and returned even more hurriedly!
He returned with a stern face less than fifteen minutes after leaving!
"Dad, how did your talk with the factory director go?"
"Alright, alright, you girl, don't embarrass me again in the future!"
"Li Ya has strong backing. You can't possibly deal with her!"
Li Ya was the granddaughter of Professor Li Guowei.
Although Li Guowei was not a worker at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, he had considerable influence there.
The main job of a technician was to handle minor faults and perform routine maintenance on machine tools and equipment.
Once a machine tool experienced a major or severe fault, it was beyond the capability of a technician.
Even a senior technician couldn't handle it; a senior engineer would have to be invited for on-site guidance and repair.
During Liu Dakui's tenure as section chief of the technical section, the Hongxing Mill had experienced two major machine tool failures, both of which required Professor Li Guowei's assistance.
With such a figure speaking up, the factory leaders would naturally have to show some respect.
Otherwise, what would happen if the Hongxing Mill encountered another severe technical fault next time?
Engineers of this caliber had separate appearance fees.
Moreover, the fee for a single appearance was no less than 100 yuan!
Even so, whether the engineer would come depended on their mood.
Did those who managed to become engineers in this era lack money?
If domestic engineers couldn't be invited to solve problems, foreign experts would have to be hired.
The cost of a foreign expert coming over was at least in the four digits.
Therefore, this time, Liu Yuqian had to endure the grievance.
Courtyard.
Zhao Feiyan, wearing brand new clothes, came to look for Liu Kai Xuan.
However, Liu Kai Xuan was not at home, so Zhao Feiyan waited at the door for Liu Kai Xuan to return.
Unexpectedly, instead of Liu Kai Xuan, she ran into Xu Damou.
Seeing Zhao Feiyan standing alone in the courtyard, Xu Damou shamelessly approached her.
"Isn't this Comrade Feiyan? Why are you here alone?"
Zhao Feiyan didn't know what kind of person Xu Damou was and thought he was just an ordinary neighbor.
So, she politely replied, "I'm waiting for Kai Xuan to come back. He'll be off work soon!"
Xu Damou grinned shamelessly and said, "Zhao Feiyan, you probably don't know, but Liu Kai Xuan has a little lover at the factory!"
