Chapter 3: Backstage
Ji Wenyu, who was in a daze, survived the entire meeting with difficulty. Afterwards, the leaders said something, but he didn't hear a word clearly, and he didn't even know how to get out of the conference room. A few familiar colleagues saw him and came forward to pat his shoulder and comforted him. Ji Wenyu just agreed casually.
When he walked to the gate of the construction site, the noisy sound came from the construction site. Ji Wenyu calmed down a little. It was already here, and it was useless to worry about these things. After all, this was just a small setback on the road of life. It was impossible to seek death because of this little thing. He still had to live, continue to work, and earn money to support himself.
He vaguely heard Captain Zhao seemingly greeting him from behind, Ji Wenyu stopped, and he also wanted to hear how Captain Zhao explained this matter.
"Master!" Ji Wenyu calmed down and turned his head and said.
The captain is just an official title. Although Ji Wenyu is a professional, he has received a lot of careful guidance from Captain Zhao over the past year and has learned a lot of useful things from Captain Zhao, so it is not an exaggeration to call him Master at work.
Captain Zhao is a thin middle-aged man. He is less than 40 years old. He looks thin and kind, and can get along well with any colleague in the company. Captain Zhao came over and said to Ji Wenyu: "What? Are you still thinking about what happened just now? This is not possible. The construction site is messy. It is easy for you to have safety accidents if you are absent-minded."
Ji Wenyu looked at Captain Zhao, smiled reluctantly, and said, "Master, it's nothing. I just heard such news suddenly, and I felt a little disparate. Just adjust it."
Looking at Ji Wenyu's face, a hint of embarrassment flashed in Captain Zhao's eyes, and then said, "It's right that you can think so. You are still young, and there are opportunities. You don't have to be depressed because of a small matter. I think this is a bad thing and shouldn't be briefed with you in advance. As a result, there was a change in the middle and I didn't have time to explain it to you clearly."
"What's the matter? Is Xu Hai having a backstage?" Ji Wenyu asked tentatively.
Captain Zhao nodded and said, "Yes, I just learned that Gao Jijun, the new vice president of the headquarters, was actually Xu Hai's uncle. This kid has worked under me for more than a year and has not leaked any words. Although I recommended you to the top, I can't resist the uncle's greetings to Mr. Wang in person, and things turned out like this."
The deputy general manager of the headquarters is a higher level than the branch manager. He said hello specifically, so the branch in Wancheng naturally had to give face. For Captain Zhao, Ji Wenyu, Xu Hai, and Li Mingqiang are both his apprentices. He has tried his best to recommend Ji Wenyu specifically, and he can't help other things.
No matter what, Captain Zhao said nothing to him, and he had to be grateful. Ji Wenyu said, "Master, thank you, don't worry, I will adjust my own soon."
Seeing that Ji Wenyu's mood improved, Captain Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In fact, this may not be a good thing. Captain measuring is glamorous, but his professionalism is too strong. He is purely a technical job and has not improved his management ability. Once he is determined by the leaders, it will be very unfavorable to your future development.
I am almost forty years old this year. I took this position more than ten years ago and have not escaped until today. On the one hand, this is because I have not found a suitable person to take over. More importantly, the leader is not optimistic about our management capabilities, so it is delayed.
I suggest that when you are not busy, learn more from other jobs and take a look at the construction site. If you have the opportunity, I will transfer you to serve as a construction worker and foreman, and engage in more management positions, which will be better for your future development."
When I was in school, the teacher once said the same thing: the employment scope of engineering measurement is too narrow, so don’t be limited to this major. This major was cancelled after only two years in the school. The words of Captain Zhao were serious, and Ji Wenyu could hear that Master was considering it entirely for his future. Yes, things in society are indeed complicated, but there are also good people like Captain Zhao who cares for him. What else can he worry about?
Seeing that the gloom on Ji Wenyu's face completely dissipated, Captain Zhao smiled and said, "I'll have a special thing before leaving. I'll give you a chance to help you with your own private life. How many days do you go out to relax."
"What?" Ji Wenyu asked in confusion.
Captain Zhao said: "The headquarters recently received a large project, but when we won the bid, Party A had a problem. They donated a teaching building to the poor mountainous areas, which was located in a small hill below Lanzhao County, Wancheng City. This matter fell on our branch. Party A only gave us 500,000 yuan. Our company had to build the teaching building regardless of whether the money was enough or not, otherwise the winning project would be gone."
"If you want to take on a big project, you have to build a teaching building for them first?" This was the first time Ji Wenyu heard of such a strange thing.
Captain Zhao continued: "The leaders mean that you have to do even if you lose money, but this job is too small and the location is remote, so we can't worry about it, so we subcontracted it to a local small contractor. However, this school was built in the name of our company, what should we do if there is a quality accident? We cannot let the contractor do it randomly, and we have to send someone to supervise it."
Master just said that I would give myself more opportunities, let me learn more, take a look, and have a chance so soon? Supervising engineering construction is a good thing, with a leisurely job and a high status, and the key is that I still have gray income.
Ji Wenyu couldn't help but say, "Did you let me supervise?"
Captain Zhao smiled and said, "There is no such good thing. Of course, the supervision has nothing to do with us. The leader will send his own people. Our surveying team's task is to help him locate and lay out the line and copy the level. When the construction is smoothly started, you will have to come back if you explain everything properly, that is, in three to five days."
After a long time, it was just a business trip. Ji Wenyu has experienced such a few times in the past year. The company's construction cannot be large projects, and there are also slightly smaller ones. Because the cost is low and there are few staff, it is impossible to set up special surveyors. At this time, Ji Wenyu and the others need to go over and help, position and lay the lines and level. The surveying team completed the difficult, error-prone and critical work, and left the rest to the construction workers to handle.
In the past year, Ji Wenyu has experienced several major projects, including large factories, high-rise buildings, and deep pit foundations. This small project worth 500,000 yuan is naturally no problem. He can get a small teaching building in a ravine even with his eyes closed.
