The two of them left the factory and came to the jeep parked outside the door.

"Let's go."

Director Yang said lightly.

The driver started the car and drove away.

Director Yang remained silent, and Lin Fei didn't say much. He could vaguely guess that Director Yang was looking for him.

Shortly after, the driver drove away before the two arrived at a restaurant.

"Don't be polite, sit casually."

Entering the private room upstairs, Director Yang said with a smile on his face.

Lin Fei took his coat and hung it on the hanger.

"There's nothing else I can do to come to you, just have a meal together and chat casually."

After sitting down, Lin Fei spoke first.

"You're too polite."

Lin Fei responded with a smile.

The two chatted for a while again, discussing how their work was going and whether it went smoothly.

"Lin Fei, have you been in our factory for almost five years?"

When the food was ready, he slowly spoke up.

"Yes, I reported to the factory after the Spring Festival in '61."

Lin Fei nodded.

"Time flies, it's been so long in a blink of an eye. You just graduated from school and now you're a young man in your twenties."

"I originally planned to arrange for you to go to the technical department, but you insisted on going to the workshop and said you should start from the grassroots level and hone yourself."

"I thought you were deliberately posing, but I didn't expect that in just over a year, you won the Level 5 fitter qualification certificate and became the most outstanding technician among the younger generation in our factory."

"Now that you have been exercising for five years, I want to add some responsibility to you. Coincidentally, my secretary is not young anymore. I have arranged for him to be transferred to the bureau. How about you become my secretary?"

Director Yang looked at Lin Fei, and the topic shifted from casual conversation to the main topic.

"Director Yang, I am very grateful for your respect for me. I think the job of a secretary may seem easy, but in reality, it needs to be comprehensive."

"You know, I'm not very good at socializing, so I'm afraid I won't be able to handle this job."

Faced with Director Yang, Lin Fei naturally couldn't say it like he did with Uncle Liu.

"You can develop your work abilities because you are not good at socializing, which is why you need to exercise even more."

Director Yang understands Lin Fei's situation, but he wants to use Lin Fei not only because of his abilities, but also because he values Uncle Liu's emotional investment in him.

"Some work abilities can be gradually improved, but as your secretary, it also represents your image. If my words and actions are inappropriate in certain situations, it will be detrimental to you, so I still feel that I am not suitable."

Lin Fei saw through this matter thoroughly and politely refused again.

"Although it's not as serious as what you said, your considerations also make some sense."

"You have been in the workshop for these years. How do you evaluate your workshop director Zhang Hui?"

After nodding, Director Yang raised another question.

According to common sense, I shouldn't have made assumptions about his affairs with you. But over the years, some of his actions have been too extreme.

Usually, he likes to use guidance as an excuse to manipulate female colleagues in the workplace.

His reputation in the factory is not very good, and some female colleagues who have been wronged are still unwilling to speak up.

Moreover, he is completely clueless about technology, always speaking layman's language during meetings, and always interfering to guide others, which affects the production progress of the workshop.

What's even more outrageous is that whoever gives him a gift, he arranges the work for them; If you don't please him, just assign some difficult tasks.

Because he is related to Director Li, everyone can only hold their breath and dare not say anything

Lin Fei said that he shouldn't discuss Zhang Hui, but he still briefly revealed his usual actions.

"I have heard a bit about him, but I haven't found any evidence yet. A few days ago, I received a report letter that listed many of his problems. I have arranged for someone to investigate, and so far, what was said in the letter is basically true."

"He can't be the workshop director anymore. So, are you interested in taking over this position?"

Director Yang nodded and talked to Lin Fei about his understanding of Zhang Hui.

"It's against the rules for me, an ordinary worker, to suddenly become a workshop director."

Lin Fei is certainly willing, but the promotion speed is too fast and not suitable.

After all, Red Star Steel Rolling Plant is a large factory, like Director Yang, who is at the level of the main hall.

The workshop director is also at the deputy department level, and if placed in the local government, he is equivalent to a deputy county mayor.

Even if demoted to half a level in the county, it would still be the position of town mayor!

"I understand your concerns, but the administrative level of our factory is already different from that of the local government, which is a bit inflated. You are already a cadre, so this kind of promotion is not a problem."

Director Yang doesn't really care about this.

In government units, it is unimaginable for a clerk to jump directly to the position of deputy director, even if they are promoted to department head, it is quite shocking.

But in enterprises, such things are much more relaxed.

"Although it meets the regulations, it will always be controversial. I am self-studying university courses and expect to complete all subjects next year."

Lin Fei's words actually expressed his interest in the position of workshop director, but he realized that his qualifications were not enough.

Once you obtain a college diploma, the situation naturally changes.
