The great thing about state-owned enterprises was that as long as they did not go bankrupt, you could stay there for the rest of your life!
In many people's eyes, it was an iron rice bowl. It represented stability and a life without worrying about food and clothing.
Moreover, President Chen not only gave him a job, but he also gave him a very good position!
The tallying job only required the tallyman to collect information such as the name of the ship, voyage, port of transfer, completion date, container number, container size, and other information.
Before the Ministry of Transport established a new third-party tallying company, the tallying business was a fat piece of meat in the mouths of each port. Every year, they made a lot of money. The position of a tallyman could not be done without certain connections!
"President Chen, I really don't know how to express my gratitude." Dong Hao and Zhang Xuan were both experienced people. He knew how much this favor was worth, and naturally, he would not let down his good intentions.
President Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Dong, you must be joking. It's nothing. Although this is the first time we've met, we'll be friends in the future. There's no need to be so polite between friends."
"President Chen, if there's anything you need in the future, just say the word. I don't dare to say much in other places, but if you're heading north, just say the word." Dong Hao saw Li He's expression and suddenly had the confidence to speak.
In fact, he knew in his heart that if he wanted to do something, even if Li He did not show up, who didn't know that he was Li He's most trusted person?
Whether it was a fox borrowing the tiger's might or a dog relying on its master's power, he was very strong. If he went out, people would have to give him some face, and not many people would dare to hurt his face. Even Shen Daoru, Yu Dehua, and the others, who had reached this point, were polite to him.
Qi Hua said, "Mr. Dong is the vice-president of China Renewable Resources Group. This time, he came with Mr. Li."
This was the position that he and Li He had arranged for Dong Hao on the spur of the moment.
"The one from Hong Kong Treasure Island?" President Chen was surprised.
Even Zhang Xuan looked at Dong Hao in shock. Wasn't he supposed to be the boss' driver?
He often read the newspaper. How could he not know about China's largest private enterprise, China Renewable Resources Group?
Unlike Chief Chen, he had never even heard of Hong Kong Treasure Island or anything like that!
Only Dong Hao understood what was going on. In order to cover up the awkwardness, he could only keep drinking tea. He even inadvertently rolled his eyes at Qi Hua. Why didn't they discuss it?
He wasn't even prepared to show off!
Qi Hua smiled and said, "It seems that President Chen is also following the international trend. You even know about this."
"Mr. Li He is a role model for our domestic enterprises. Not knowing him is equivalent to being blind." Chief Chen laughed.
"Chief Chen, are you from the Northeast?" Dong Hao didn't think much of the man's accent at first, but when he heard the last sentence, he found it familiar.
"Mr. Dong, you can hear it?" Chief Chen said happily, "He started working when he was 15 or 16 years old. Later, he followed the organization's arrangements and came here. Then, he got married and had children. He's been away from home for at least 30 years. His accent is almost gone. Most people wouldn't be able to tell. That's why I feel so close to you. It's because we're from the same hometown. "
"It's not easy to meet from thousands of miles away." Dong Hao even stood up and shook hands with him.
Chief Chen said, "Big brother, let's not say anything else. I'll treat tonight. No matter what, we must have a meal together. I won't take you away."
He didn't call him Mr. Dong, and brought their relationship closer.
He could ignore Dong Hao, but he couldn't ignore China Renewable Resources Group. He couldn't ignore Hong Kong Treasure Island, Yuan Da Investment Group, and the Prime Minister's family.
"Thank you. I appreciate your kindness. But this time, there are a few warehouses. We'll be leaving in the afternoon. Next time, I'll treat Chief Chen if there's a chance." Dong Hao rejected without hesitation. Li He's arrangements couldn't be changed. These were all planned.
He couldn't make decisions for Li He.
"Next time then." Chief Chen saw Dong Hao's determined expression and didn't insist anymore. He said to the short and fat middle-aged man beside him, "Director Zhou, bring our niece down and arrange a dormitory for her. The best four-person dormitory. Then, rest for two days and get to know the working environment. She'll attend the training the day after tomorrow."
"Thank you, Chief Chen." Zhang Xuan stood up. Then, he held his daughter's hand and left with Director Zhou.
After Zhang Xuan left, Dong Hao and the rest bade farewell. Chief Chen wanted to send them off.
They got into the car and drove past an intersection. When they couldn't see Chief Chen, they got out of the car to smoke. They waited for a long time before they saw Zhang Xuan come out.
"Old Zhang, over here!" Dong Hao shouted at the top of his lungs.
"I thought you guys had left." Zhang Xuan jogged over and took Dong Hao's cigarette. He lit it with a match, flicked the flame, and threw it into the bin.
Qi Hua asked, "How is it? Are you satisfied?"
Zhang Xuan said, "If I'm not satisfied, then I'll be too greedy. You didn't see it. The dormitory is very luxurious. It's better than living at home. That lass didn't say it but I can tell that she's very happy. When she was cleaning, she couldn't wait to remove all the rust from the bed frame. I don't even know how to thank you guys. "
Li He said, "Don't thank me. We'll be friends in the future. Who knows, we might even be able to help each other."
"Definitely, definitely. I won't hesitate." Zhang Xuan only felt gratitude in his heart. However, he hesitated and added, "As long as it's not against the law, I'm willing to risk my life."
"Old Zhang, you're too principled. How can you let a small policeman like you do something illegal?" Dong Hao felt a little helpless when he heard this. He said it as if Li He had a request for him.
"Yes, I'm sorry." Zhang Xuan also realized that he was inappropriate.
"Where's the number that my student gave me?" Li He suddenly remembered and said to Qi Hua, "Find it and give it to Brother Zhang. We can contact each other in the future."
"It's here." Qi Hua opened his notebook and copied the number on a piece of paper.
Li He took it and passed it to Zhang Xuan. "This number belongs to one of my students. His name is Lu Hui. He's also in your system. You can give him a call if you're free."
"Thank you." Zhang Xuan didn't even think before putting it into his pocket.
Dong Hao hurriedly gave Zhang Xuan a look, but Zhang Xuan didn't notice it. He could only be anxious and almost stomped his feet.
He drove Zhang Xuan to the bus terminal. Zhang Xuan got out of the car. He used the excuse of sending Zhang Xuan to the bus terminal to get a chance to talk alone.
"Drive safe."
"I didn't expect you to be a vice president. It's really unexpected. It seems that you've made a name for yourself." Zhang Xuan was very emotional.
"You can't tell? We're brothers. I won't lie to you. " Dong Hao said helplessly, "It's Mr. Qi and Mr. Li who gave me face and promoted me. I'm really just a driver."
"Really?" Zhang Xuan was puzzled.
"Of course it's true." Dong Hao immediately asked anxiously, "Where's the note?"
"What note?" Zhang Xuan was still confused.
"The one that Mr. Li gave you just now." Dong Hao wanted to pry open his brain to see how big this person was!
"Oh, it's in my pocket." Zhang Xuan didn't care.
Dong Hao said solemnly, "We're brothers. I'll tell you the truth. You must contact the number on this note. It's good for you."
