Chapter 273: Ambush
The news soon spread throughout the company.
The position of office director was not decided internally, but was openly competed for.
This surprised many people and they found it very puzzling.
What's even more surprising is...
This morning, the company’s Human Resources Department announced a list of three candidates for everyone to supervise.
Ma Liangcai, Gao Qiangsheng, Chu Yang.
Everyone was shocked.
Because there is a very abrupt name here, that is Chu Yang. How could he, a specialist, be listed as a candidate alongside Deputy Director Gao of the Office and Deputy Director of the Biotechnology Department?
What is going on?
Every day at work, everyone discusses the election situation vaguely and privately.
"This is the first time I've seen an open competition for the position of office director. It seems our leadership team is a little disunited."
"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that President Tian and President Liang are at odds. The position of office director is extremely important, so naturally neither of them is willing to give it up."
"Ma Liang is Mr. Liang's man, Gao Qiangsheng should be Mr. Tian's man, and who is this Chu Yang?"
"Don't you understand this? It's just a poor match to make up the numbers."
"Haha, that makes sense. No wonder they brought out a hairy boy. He looks so weird."
So, a consensus was quickly reached.
This Chu Yang is just a "difference" in the differential election and is not worth mentioning at all.
You will definitely not be selected.
In ancient times, "差佩" meant that the government imposed labor and taxes on the people. Now it is an informal term in the election of Aiguolan, which refers to the people who are used to make up the numbers in the differential election, also called "runner-up".
Generally speaking, the formal elections in the past power companies are three-choice. That is to say, for a public recruitment position, there must be three people. If there are no three people to participate in the competition, then the position will be invalid.
This position will not be open for competition.
So there are three candidates.
The company is still very rigorous in this regard, but in order to ensure that the person most favored by the leader is selected, they usually find some unqualified people to fill the gaps. This is an unspoken practice.
When Chu Yang saw that he was a candidate , he was a little surprised. To be honest, when Mr. Tian talked to him, Chu Yang thought he wanted him to be the deputy director, but he didn't expect him to be the director directly.
Mr. Tian, you are a little too proud.
But can this really work?
Chu Yang himself was skeptical. At this critical moment, Chu Yang didn't know what he should do to fight for it. He could only play dumb and wait for things to develop.
The people in the office were also discussing this matter, and they were talking about it enthusiastically. As the person involved, Chu Yang couldn't say anything, so he could only pretend to be dumb. Sister Hua came over and said, "Chu Yang, don't be discouraged. If there is a vote, I will definitely vote for you. You should prepare well."
Chu Yang looked at her broad mind and felt a little touched.
Sister Qing also added: "Chu Yang, if I have to choose, I will choose you. At least you are handsome and pleasing to the eye, haha." Sister Qing is old, but she is still like a lovelorn girl, which is rare.
It is very important to win people's hearts at this time, but Chu Yang knows that he cannot reveal anything. If he engages in vote-buying, it may backfire and make people think that he has evil intentions.
So I pretended not to care at all and laughed at myself: "What's the point of preparing anything? I'm just a runner-up and I won't even have a single vote. I'll probably be laughed at to death in the future."
Sun Jiawei and Jiao Shangsong were a little worried at first, but after hearing what Chu Yang said, they relaxed. To them, they could accept Ma Liangcai and Gao Qiangsheng taking the position, but they just couldn't accept Chu Yang taking the position.
Because in their hearts, Chu Yang is nothing, not even as good as them .
This is the weakness and ugliness of human nature.
Many times, people dare not challenge the strong and only bully the weak. If they can't get it, they naturally don't want you to get it.
However, no matter how they thought about it, Chu Yang had no chance of doing so. He was indeed a poor match for the running mate and would definitely be laughed at afterwards.
The old man Chen Yaoqiang laughed and said, "Chu Yang, actually running with someone is also an experience. After running with someone more often, the leaders will notice you. The former Director Fan from the Biotechnology Department ran with someone every year. After running with someone more often, he gained experience and developed feelings for them, and that really got him promoted."
This statement does make sense. Some people participate in the runner-up program many times, and their leaders may feel sorry for them and give them a position. However, Chu Yang does not want to be just a runner-up, nor does he want such a pitiful score.
"Brother Qiang, I don't want this kind of experience. I might even make people hate me." Chu Yang remained silent.
After a while, Deputy Director Gao came and gave instructions for the work, then looked at everyone and said, "We have been busy recently and everyone has worked hard. I will treat you to dinner tonight so you can relax."
Sister Hua laughed: "Hey Director Gao, what's going on? The stingy guy is getting plucked out of his clothes."
Director Gao: "Sister Hua, you can't do this. I used to pay for cars, houses and milk powder, so I didn't have much money. Now that I have more money, you don't have to be polite to me."
Sun Jiawei: "Director Gao, do you have any other instructions for this meal? Otherwise, we will feel uneasy eating." In fact, everyone knew that he was trying to curry favor with them and wanted everyone to vote for him.
Director Gao smiled and said, "No, it's just a department dinner for everyone to get to know each other better."
The company has regulations that prohibit canvassing for votes privately, otherwise it would be a violation. If others find out, they might have something to hold against them. Gao Qiangsheng himself is not stupid.
"Chu Yang, come here." Before Gao Qiangsheng went out, he pulled Chu Yang over.
Chu Yang probably knew what he wanted to say, and was thinking about how to deal with him.
…
"Chu Yang, you are indeed a rare talent. You have great writing skills and are very thoughtful in your conduct and work. To be honest, you are now the most important person in the office and the one I am most optimistic about."
As soon as he entered the office, Gao Qiangsheng began to flatter himself, trying to lower Chu Yang's psychological defenses.
Chu Yang knew that there was no friendship in the workplace. Director Gao must have some thoughts: "Director Gao, please stop flattering me. I know my own limitations. If you have something to say, just speak up."
Gao Qiangsheng hesitated for a moment and looked at Chu Yang with a tentative look.
"Chu Yang, you've seen that the office director position is open to competition, and both of us are candidates. Actually, in my mind, it doesn't matter whether you or I take the position. The most important thing is that it doesn't fall into the hands of an outsider like Ma Liangcai. What do you think?"
Haha, you speak better than you sing, and I think you don’t care?
What a joke.
Chu Yang naturally couldn't reveal his thoughts, so he quickly replied: "Director Gao, I'm just a runner-up, I definitely don't have a chance , and I definitely support Director Gao, there is no doubt about that."
Director Gao: "Don't think too lowly of yourself. Everyone has equal opportunities... I just think this leader is very greedy. He deliberately treats the two of us as candidates and divides our votes. In this way, Ma Liangcai will benefit from it."
Gao Qiangsheng was indeed afraid that Chu Yang would split the votes. After all, he didn't have much chance of winning against Ma Liangcai.
Chu Yang immediately patted his chest and assured: "Director Gao, don't worry about this. My idea is for you to take the position of director. Of course, I also have a little selfish motive. I hope you can take the position, so that the position of deputy director will be vacant. I may be able to pick up the opportunity. I hope Director Gao will give me more support when the time comes."
When Gao Qiangsheng heard this, he smiled and believed Chu Yang's lies.
"Haha, that's easy to say. Since Chu Yang is like this, let's not fight among ourselves and face the outside world in a united way. Just let everyone vote for me, and I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
Chu Yang nodded quickly: "That's for sure, Director Gao, I don't know who this Ma Liangcai is, but I heard that many people support him. You can't just sit there and wait for death, it's best to use some connections."
Gao Qiangsheng's eyes showed a trace of determination: "I know my limits on this."
At this time, Chu Yang had only one idea, which was to let Director Gao fight with Ma Liangcai, preferably with both sides suffering losses.
