"You sit in the office all day being a leader, and you expect me to run errands out in the sun and wind for you?"
"What right do you have to boss me around!"
"Following you for training before was already giving you plenty of face!"
"Starting today, I'm going to sit in the office and be a leader too!"
"Hahaha…" Zhang Tie Zhu suddenly burst into laughter. "Zhao Da Jun, are you sure you're not here to make a joke?"
"I admit, the boss did arrange a deputy captain position for you!"
As he said this, Zhang Tie Zhu's expression suddenly turned serious. "But don't forget, I'm the captain!"
Zhao Da Jun retorted fiercely, "You're only one rank higher than me, so what are you so arrogant about?"
"Hmph!"
Zhang Tie Zhu sneered back, "A higher rank means greater authority, don't you understand that rule?"
"Alright, alright, listen up, Zhao Da Jun!"
"Our company has a one-month probation period. You can choose to give up now!"
"Hand me your resignation letter, and then you can leave. I'll have the finance department settle the wages for the days you've worked!"
"You…"
Zhao Da Jun was instantly furious. "Zhang Tie Zhu, what right do you have to fire me?"
"I indeed don't have the right to fire you!"
Zhang Tie Zhu replied calmly, "What I mean is, if you voluntarily request to resign, I can help you approve it!"
"When did I say I was going to resign voluntarily? It's not that easy to get rid of me!"
"Okay, very good!"
Zhang Tie Zhu nodded and replied, "Since you don't plan to resign, then just do your job well!"
"The tasks I assign you are absolutely reasonable!"
"Now, please go and complete your work assignments immediately!"
"I…"
Zhao Da Jun's mood became extremely agitated once again.
But in the end, Zhao Da Jun braced himself and adjusted his emotions.
Zhao Da Jun knew that arguing with Zhang Tie Zhu at this point was meaningless.
Moreover, Zhang Tie Zhu was a very capable fighter.
If Zhao Da Jun angered him, Zhang Tie Zhu would dare to lay hands on him.
Helpless, Zhao Da Jun could only brace himself and accept Zhang Tie Zhu's arrangement.
Now, Zhao Da Jun's plan was:
Try to avoid disputes with Zhang Tie Zhu and talk to Liu Kai Xuan directly if he had any ideas.
If that didn't work, he would ask Liu Kai Xuan to change him to a less strenuous position.
Having him, a "leader," constantly patrolling and standing guard like those junior security guards was simply too embarrassing.
Zhao Da Jun now wanted to be respected and earn a lot of money.
His ideal work state was: sitting in an office, leisurely sipping fragrant tea.
The workday would end easily, and he would still receive enviable high wages.
This good job was not something Zhao Da Jun conjured out of thin air; it had a clear real-life prototype.
The prototype was Liu Kai Xuan, who was the director of the engineering department at the Hong Xing Steel Rolling Mill back then.
At that time, Liu Kai Xuan's job was incredibly comfortable.
Every day at work, a beautiful secretary would bring him tea and water. He even delegated a large portion of the document review work to Li Ya.
Liu Kai Xuan himself was a complete hands-off manager.
This idle person consistently enjoyed extremely high treatment and earned a high salary that others could only dream of.
During that time, Zhao Da Jun lived every day filled with envy and resentment.
…
After work one afternoon, Zhao Da Jun stopped Liu Kai Xuan at the entrance.
"What's wrong, do you need something?" Liu Kai Xuan asked.
Zhao Da Jun replied with considerable anxiety, "Kai Xuan, you appointed me as deputy captain of the security team!"
"Isn't this position a leadership role, at least?"
"Yes!"
Liu Kai Xuan nodded in agreement. "The salary for the deputy captain of the security team is significantly higher than that of ordinary security guards!"
"So!"
Zhao Da Jun seized the opportunity and said, "Since I, as deputy captain, hold a leadership position, you can't treat me like an ordinary worker, right?"
"Today, Zhang Tie Zhu deliberately made me stand guard and patrol!"
"These tasks are all work for the junior security guards below. I am the captain!"
Liu Kai Xuan asked, "Then what do you think the job of a deputy security captain should be?"
"I…"
Zhao Da Jun replied firmly, "I think the job content of a deputy security captain should be to assign and deploy other people's tasks!"
"My job should be to sit in the office and direct others to do things. I am the captain!"
Liu Kai Xuan said seriously, "Comrade Zhao Da Jun, you actually don't understand the business of the security industry!"
"If you really understood it, you wouldn't say such things!"
"But I…"
Zhao Da Jun's face flushed red and he replied, "Then if it's really not possible, just transfer me to another job position!"
Liu Kai Xuan asked, "Comrade Zhao Da Jun, what business do you think you can do well in our company?"
"I believe, as a grown man, you wouldn't truly want to rely on nepotism and live idly, would you?"
Originally, Zhao Da Jun's idea was indeed to rely on connections and live idly.
But Liu Kai Xuan had now directly brought up the topic, making Zhao Da Jun find it difficult to admit it in this regard.
After all, Zhao Da Jun's greatest characteristic was his pride.
To admit to Liu Kai Xuan that he was a good-for-nothing who lived idly would be a hundred times more unbearable for him than death.
"Yes!"
Zhao Da Jun gritted his teeth and replied, "I really didn't intend to live idly!"
"I want to do something meaningful through my own efforts!"
Liu Kai Xuan nodded in agreement. "Good, very good!"
Liu Kai Xuan reached out and patted Zhao Da Jun's shoulder, saying, "You need to be patient with your work!"
"First, do your job as deputy captain well and familiarize yourself with the business capabilities!"
"Later on, there will be other arrangements for you!"
"Alright!" Upon hearing that Liu Kai Xuan had "arrangements" for him, Zhao Da Jun's heart immediately settled.
After Zhao Da Jun nodded, Liu Kai Xuan also went home immediately.
"Alas!" Watching Liu Kai Xuan's receding back, Zhao Da Jun stomped his feet anxiously.
His purpose in coming here today, bracing himself, was to get Liu Kai Xuan to make a good arrangement for him.
Unexpectedly, he was still outmaneuvered by Liu Kai Xuan in the end.
Zhao Da Jun vaguely felt that the "arrangement" Liu Kai Xuan mentioned earlier might be an empty promise.
But to fall out with him completely now was not in line with Zhao Da Jun's intentions.
