Chapter 258: Obedience is ingrained in the bones of soldiers
The next morning, it was just as Huo Haocheng had thought, and for the first time ever he stayed in bed with her for a while, which lasted for half an hour. So by the time they had cleaned up and had dinner, it was already past 9 o'clock.
When they drove to the factory to pick up Zheng Xuyang, he had just finished checking this month's accounts with Lu Shuyan. He knew the couple better, and combined with what Huo Haocheng said yesterday, he arrived at the factory at just after 8 o'clock this morning. After having breakfast with Huo Haoshen and others, he looked at the factory gate, and when he saw that they were not there, he told the security guard that they were looking for him and that he was waiting for them in the office.
So when the two of them finally arrived at the office, they saw him and Lu Shuyan sorting out the checked bills and sealing them in a file bag.
"Here they come." Seeing them coming, Zheng Xuyang looked at his watch. Good, 30 minutes later than the scheduled time, not bad.
"Are you done with your work?" Ruan Ruan also knew that it was her fault to be late, so even though he was her boss, she was still very cautious.
"Well, let's go." He had already wasted so much time, if he had any questions, he could ask on the way. It just so happened that after he finished his business at the charity organization, he still had to go to the material factory. The weather was very good now, and it was getting darker, and the workers were now living on the construction site. Yesterday he discussed with several construction team leaders, and they all agreed to go off work later. In that case, the previous quantity of materials would not be enough, so he needed to talk to them in person about increasing the quantity.
In fact, he had some idea of Ruan Ruan's thoughts, but his workload was really heavy now, and he didn't want to talk to them about why they were late. Anyway, he was still working during the time they were late, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.
When the three of them drove to the city, on the way, Ruan Ruan said to him, "Brother Xuyang, I asked you to go to the charity organization with me today. One reason is that I want you to get to know Uncle Kun and the others. Another reason is that Uncle Kun and the others' original ideas are a little different from mine, so I thought that in the future, when they are unsure about something and it is inconvenient for me, they can just come to you directly. For example, during this period, I couldn't leave the family compound due to personal reasons, but Uncle Kun and the others were more or less undecided about some things. Every time they called me, and then when they called back, they had other things to do. In this way, things could not be communicated in time, so I explained that you two knew each other first, and if they are undecided in the future, they can ask you directly."
While saying this, Ruan Ruan leaned on the back of the passenger seat, looking at Zheng Xuyang who was sitting in the back, not knowing whether he could understand what she meant.
If he doesn't understand, should I be more straightforward? That's not good, Ruan Ruan thought to herself. But with Zheng Xuyang's smart brain, how could he not understand the meaning of her words?
"What issues can't Uncle Kun and the others make a decision on?" According to Ruan Ruan's work style and his understanding of her, after arranging the overall framework and details of the matter, she is completely a hands-off boss. As long as she works within this framework, she can make all the decisions on her own. He has not figured out what else he needs to ask her for instructions on.
"....Uh, in terms of funding, and even personnel arrangements." It would have been fine if she hadn't asked. Once she asked, Ruan Ruan felt that maybe she and Uncle Kun and Uncle Du had not made it clear. She had told them to be fully responsible, but no matter whether it was something that the office needed to purchase, or the job arrangements for the people that Huo Haocheng found for her, after they had discussed it, they would call her to tell her, and then execute it after getting her affirmative answer.
Ruan Ruan felt that the execution was too slow. She had been in the family compound all this time, so it was convenient to contact her. However, if she was out that day and had no phone with her and could not be contacted, would they not carry out the execution?
This was completely different from the purpose of why she had asked them to come here, so she had another purpose in bringing Zheng Xuyang along this time, which was to tell them through Zheng Xuyang that since the power of the charity organization had been given to them, as long as they did not violate any laws or regulations, they had absolute autonomy. They could decide whether to do something or not, and if they wanted to do something, they could just do it.
Hearing her say this, Zheng Xuyang also understood. Not to mention that Uncle Kun and Uncle Du had a generation gap in age with them, even before, other people arranged things for them and they just had to execute them. In their formal work, they had never made decisions and executed them themselves, not to mention that they had never had any contact or understanding with Ruan Ruan. So in their view, they were nominally the heads of the charity organization, but the real person in charge was Ruan Ruan, and they were just executors, helping her manage the people below. So when it came to funding and personnel arrangements, they would naturally think of reporting to their superiors first.
This was contrary to Ruan Ruan's original intention, so he now understood why she came.
"Have you explained to them before that the charity is in charge of them, and you don't care about the small matters?" After understanding the situation, Zheng Xuyang was curious about what Ruan Ruan had told them before. She would ask them to report everything to her, even if it was inconvenient to spend the phone bill.
"I said it!" Ruan Ruan looked at Zheng Xuyang's inquiring eyes, then thought about it seriously, and looked at Huo Haocheng who was driving, hoping that he would say a few words for her, but seeing that he didn't want to interrupt at all, she gave up and turned to look at Zheng Xuyang and said seriously.
"A week ago, when Uncle Kun and Uncle Du arrived at Yuncheng, my uncle and they went to pick us up. That night, I told them about the future development direction and plan of the charity organization, and then gave them the keys and other things. I also told them very clearly that according to this plan, they would be fully responsible for the affairs of the organization in the future.
And when Huo Haocheng and the others were out for training, didn't I promise him that he would stay in the family compound during that time and not go anywhere? Then I thought about it, and was afraid that I had not made myself clear, so I called my cousin specially. I thought that they would be responsible for this matter in the future, so I told him the situation directly. He also said that he would go to meet Uncle Kun and the others after get off work in the evening to get to know them.
Oh, my cousin is Lan Chaolin, the current mayor's secretary. Mayor Guo gave him the responsibility of connecting the government with charitable organizations."
Ruan Ruan thought about it and wondered what went wrong. Was it that she didn't explain it clearly enough, or was it that Lan Chaolin didn't express himself well when he went to find them?
Zheng Xuyang behind him also fell into deep thought after hearing her words. She expressed it very clearly! So what else do they have to ask?
"In that case, there's no problem!"
"Yeah, I think there's nothing wrong with it, but I just don't know what went wrong?"
The two of them were both holding their arms and touching their chins in thought.
"Could it be that they have different ideas?" Huo Haocheng, who had been paying attention to the two of them, noticed that they suddenly stopped talking. He had also heard their conversation just now. In fact, he could understand Uncle Kun and the others. Both of them were retired soldiers. No matter how long they had retired or what they had done after retirement, as soldiers, obedience to orders from their superiors was engraved in their bones.
