Liu Dakui chuckled, shaking his head. "At the earliest, next month, the technical department of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill will be expanded into an engineering department!"
"By then, the demand for talent will increase exponentially!"
Liu Yuqian pouted. "The expansion doesn't start until next month, what's the rush now?"
"What are you thinking about?"
Liu Dakui glared at Liu Yuqian. "Do you think just anyone can do the work in our technical department?"
"Among all the functional departments in the entire Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, the technical department has the highest technical content!"
Liu Yuqian asked again, "Then who will be in charge after the expansion?"
"Isn't that a stupid question?" Liu Dakui replied with a wry smile. "Of course, it will be Kai Xuan!"
"When Liu Kai Xuan becomes the director of the Engineering Department, you'll still be the deputy director, and nothing will change for you!"
"That's hard to say!"
Liu Dakui repeatedly shook his head and replied with a wry smile, "The specific arrangements will be made by the higher-ups!"
"Alright, Qianqian, don't think too much about it. At worst, your father, this deputy section chief, can still keep his position!"
"As for salary and benefits, even if they don't increase, they definitely won't decrease!"
Liu Yuqian immediately became anxious. "The technical department is being expanded into an engineering department, so where will the position of deputy section chief be?"
"Dad, you need to actively strive for the deputy director position, otherwise you'll be eliminated!"
"What are you thinking about?"
Liu Dakui shook his head and sighed. "The technical department is being expanded into an engineering department, not reorganized into one!"
"For someone with your university education, can't you tell the difference between expansion and reorganization?"
"Uh..."
Liu Yuqian's face turned red. "Dad, are you saying that after the expansion, there will be several more positions in the Engineering Department?"
"The deputy director of the Engineering Department and the section chief of the Technical Department will all be vacant?"
"Yes!"
Liu Dakui said solemnly, "While the personnel will be significantly expanded, the positions will also be expanded!"
"Otherwise, with too many people and too few resources, how will those below ever get promoted?"
Upon hearing Liu Dakui's explanation, Liu Yuqian became extremely excited.
"Dad, if you put it that way, doesn't that mean I also have a chance to become the deputy director?"
Liu Dakui reached out and touched Liu Yuqian's forehead, muttering to himself,
"That's not right. You're not sick, are you? Why are you talking nonsense?"
"Your father, a mid-level technician, is still just a deputy section chief. You, a junior technician, want to be a deputy director!"
"Do you really think that promotions in the company are like a beauty pageant? If you're pretty, you can do whatever you want?"
"Alright, alright. It's useless for me to talk to you about this. I'm going to find Brother Kai Xuan!"
Despite being a girl, Liu Yuqian's desire for promotion and wealth was several times stronger than that of men.
Last time, in front of Secretary Chen Guang, she dared to proactively ask for the secretary position.
Now that the technical department was about to expand and many lucrative positions were vacant, Liu Yuqian naturally wanted to make a big move.
Liu Yuqian had originally intended to go directly to Liu Kai Xuan, but when she reached the office door, she changed her mind.
She then went to the locker room and changed out of her work uniform into a beautiful new outfit.
After tidying herself up in front of a small mirror, she went to Liu Kai Xuan's office.
"Why are you here? Is something wrong?"
Seeing Liu Yuqian enter, Liu Kai Xuan couldn't help but frown.
This girl, Liu Yuqian, had a work attitude that was neither here nor there, and her initiative was too poor.
If it weren't for Liu Dakui's sake, Liu Kai Xuan would have let her pack her bags and leave long ago.
She wasn't wearing a work uniform during work hours and was dressed up so attractively. How could she be considered a proper worker?
Liu Yuqian strode forward, poured Liu Kai Xuan a glass of water,
Then she said with a smile, "Brother Kai Xuan, I heard from my father that the technical department is about to be expanded into an engineering department!"
"Oh!" Liu Kai Xuan nodded. "That's true!"
Liu Yuqian said in a sweet voice, "Brother Kai Xuan, can you let me be the deputy director?"
"Oh?"
Liu Kai Xuan was amused. "You have quite an appetite!"
"Brother Kai Xuan, please agree to it. I promise I'll repay you handsomely in the future!"
As she spoke, Liu Yuqian strode forward and put her arm around Liu Kai Xuan's.
Liu Kai Xuan sternly admonished, "Liu Yuqian, be serious!"
"Sit down and let's talk slowly. If you keep touching me, I'll get angry!"
Liu Yuqian shamelessly replied, "Brother Kai Xuan, I understand!"
"It's really inconvenient during the day in the office. I'll come to your place tonight..."
Liu Kai Xuan hadn't realized before that this girl Liu Yuqian was so "ambitious."
For the sake of promotion and wealth, she could even think of such a way of using unspoken rules.
However, since she was so ambitious, Liu Kai Xuan naturally intended to make good use of her ambition and guide her onto the right path.
With that in mind, Liu Kai Xuan continued, "Liu Yuqian, listen carefully!"
"I'm already engaged. We won't have any future together!"
"However, if you can achieve something, I can prioritize your promotion!"
Liu Yuqian pouted. "I'm already trying my best!"
"Brother Kai Xuan, no matter what, you have to promote me to deputy director!"
"Currently, in the repair workshop, besides you and my father, I have the highest qualifications!"
"And don't worry, if you promote me to deputy director, my father will definitely not have any objections!"
Liu Kai Xuan said solemnly, "Qianqian, your idea is still too naive!"
"As the saying goes, a tall building starts from the ground up. To achieve success, you must take one step at a time and move forward steadily!"
"Even I, didn't I start as an apprentice and work my way up?"
"It's completely impossible for you to directly advance from an employee to a deputy director!"
"Even if you were to be promoted, you could only be promoted to deputy section chief first, then section chief, and then deputy director!"
"Besides, the final decision on job promotions lies with the factory leadership, not just me!"
Liu Yuqian said in a sweet voice, "Brother Kai Xuan, with your relationship with Director Yang!"
"Promoting me to deputy section chief is just a matter of a word, isn't it?"
"Heh heh!" Liu Kai Xuan shook his head and sighed. "If you think that way, you're still too naive!"
"Right now, there are four ordinary technicians in our factory!"
"They are Li Ya, Wang Lecheng, Chen An, and you, Liu Yuqian!"
"All four of you have junior technician qualification certificates. If I were to promote only you, Liu Yuqian, to section chief, what would the others think?"
