Chapter 47 Canglang Water


“Do you still want to be promoted in the future?”



To be honest, Wang Zixu really wanted to answer: No.



If it were 5 years ago, he would regard promotion as the main task of his life; if it were 3 years ago, he would think that this is the only way out for his life.



But at this time, he only feels troublesome.



There is an extremely complicated process for the promotion of business editors, but with each promotion, the salary can be increased by about 20%, and there is also the opportunity to be promoted to a leadership position.



The most difficult condition for promotion is to obtain an "excellent" grade in an assessment within two years.



So far, Wang Zixu has never received "excellence" even once. It's not because he doesn't work hard.



In fact, in his early years, his life background was still struggle. He, like everyone else, yearns for advancement. He worked hard to please his colleagues, hoping to get an "excellent" grade in the assessment and change his life.



After working hard for a year, he suddenly discovered that if he wanted to get "excellent" in the evaluation, in principle, he needed to work hard, have a good style, have strong ideas, and have strong abilities... In terms of specific operations, he also needed the leader's nod of approval.



The reason is that the number of “excellent” places allocated to the unit each year is limited. If someone is good, then there must be someone who is not. Who will be the best requires everyone to have unified thinking.



Before each year’s merit appraisal, leaders will talk to comrades one by one. In fact, it is to clear the mind.



For those who work hard, the leaders will focus on their work and let them wait a little longer, so that those with more seniority can get the job first;



For those with particularly senior qualifications, the leaders will also focus on their work. Anyway, they are old and it is enough to get promoted before retirement. Let’s give the opportunity to young people.



The evaluation work extremely tests the political wisdom and courage of action of a unit leader. It is impossible for an organization to be completely merit-based, nor to rely solely on qualifications, academic qualifications, or talents. All conditions must be considered comprehensively. In particular, we must consider that the hearts of comrades cannot be chilled just because of a single evaluation.



In their unit. The "excellent" rankings are distributed according to need rather than according to work. Every young comrade who is qualified for promotion will receive an outstanding ranking. Once you take it, you can't take it again. Take turns. If you are excellent this year, it will be his turn to be excellent next year. Otherwise, if the people are not united, it will be difficult to lead the team and the work will be difficult to carry out.



When Wang Zixu first came to the unit, there were three older colleagues lined up in front of him, and each of them had their own reasons for having to get "excellent" in advance.



The leader came to Wang Zixu for a job and said that although you graduated from a prestigious university, you are diligent and serious in your work, but the opportunity still has to be given to old comrades. Think about it, if you are old and you still have the opportunity to jump forward, do you also want others to push you from behind? Do we need to be considerate of each other when comparing our hearts to each other?



The prince was convinced. The leader then said, I promise, when these three comrades have all obtained excellence, it will be your turn to be the first.



Wang Zixu waited for three years. After sending away the last old comrade, the leader also left with him, and a new leader came, namely Gou Ju. Gouju did not acknowledge the promises made by the previous leader.



Gouju has his own set of sorting logic. According to his logic, Wang Zixu has to wait another three years. After waiting for another three years, a new group of young comrades were hired into the unit. Gou Ju said that we still have to re-schedule.



Wang Zixu has seen through the truth of life and the hypocrisy of human beings. He no longer wanted to do this. What's the point of telling him this now? My Qing Dynasty is dead.



Zhang Cannian didn’t know his inner activities, and thought he was sure of victory, so he kindly reminded:



“In principle, when it comes to qualifications, academic qualifications, and work, taking everything into account, you should get an excellent award this year no matter what, but you must also take into account the special circumstances of this year—the new documents promulgated this year. According to the requirements, we must pay attention to the promotion and training of young comrades. Our evaluation logic may also change. "Zizixu looked at him: "When I first came to the unit eight years ago, I was young. When I was young, I let the old comrades go. Now that I am old, I have started to train young comrades. "



Zhang Cannian said with a playful smile: "There is no way, sometimes things are like this. When I was in the first year of high school, the principal said that the first year of high school should do the general cleaning. When I entered the second year of high school, the principal said, last year it was the first year of high school, and this year I will let the first year of high school clean. Come on, sophomores."



After that, he said solemnly: "It's just a joke. You'd better get some snacks. You don't judge excellence, you are noble, but in the eyes of others, you are incompetent and guilty. What a big mistake. When all the young comrades go up, will you follow my example and walk around with a teacup in your arms?" The prince smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with following you. It's so easy. "How happy."



Zhang Cannian said: "Look at Xiaoyao, you will know how hard it is to be jumped on by a group of young people."



Wang Zixu was said to be a little depressed. Asked: "How many people are qualified to be evaluated this year?"



Zhang Cannian said: "It depends on what the leader thinks. But in my opinion, there are actually two people who have the greatest hope this year, one is you and the other is Xiao Diao."



Xiao Diao's name is Diao Yiwen, and she came from the same batch as Guo Ranran. They are two offices apart from Wang Zixu, and the two rarely interact with each other.



Hearing this name, Wang Zixu said: "Diao Yiwen came last year, right? Why is it her?"



Zhang Cannian said: "She has not been with the company for a long time, but firstly, she graduated from Hexi University, which is also a famous university; secondly, she has outside work experience and is older; thirdly, the current trend is that the evaluation of excellence depends not only on ability, but also on academic ability, and hard indicators such as the publication of articles. And it just so happens that she has published articles Chapter. "



"What has she published? Where?"



Zhang Cangnian said: ""Xihe Literature""



Hearing this magazine, Wang Zixu couldn't hold back. He said: "Our unit is not a research institution. It is nonsense to judge excellence by publishing articles, let alone publishing them in literary magazines."



Zhang Cangnian spread his hands: "Then what can be done? How can we set standards when there are two official words, and it is not just a word from the leader?"



Wang Zixu shook his head, stood up and poured water: "I am too lazy to deal with this kind of thing anyway. If the leader wants to Give it to Xiao Diao. "



Zhang Cannian's expression changed slightly: "Really? You really think so?"



"Well, there is nothing else to think about."



"Then you have to think about it again." Zhang Cangnian said, "Xiao Wang, sometimes it's not you who fights for your own interests. If you don't fight, others will only think that you are incompetent. You delayed this year's evaluation, and you will miss next year's promotion. If you go back and forth, your life will be wasted. When you are old, you are still sitting here. If you get into trouble, others will only think you have no face."



Wang Zixu said: "Face is given by yourself, not by others."



If the water in Canglang is clear, you can wash my tassel; if the water in Canglang is turbid, you can wash my feet. Whether the water is clear or the water is turbid, people can live only by their original intentions, but they have to bend down and use the water of the waves. But Wang Zixu felt that since he could see the Yangtze River, he didn't need to be limited by the waves.



Give it to others.



As he walked out of the door, Zhang Cangnian ran over again and whispered: "You and Lin Feng have such a good relationship, why don't you say hello to him. If Xiao Diao can publish an article in "Xihe Literature and Art", you must be able to do it too."
