Chapter 164 The promotion documents have come down
The gray sky, as if stained by the factory chimneys, was always covered with a lingering haze. Chu Tian stood at the door of the purchasing department's office, holding the thin transfer order in his hand, feeling that it was heavier than a thousand pounds.
"Chu Tian, this is your promotion document. Congratulations, you've become a level six clerk!" Section Chief Liu, who had brought him over, smiled with wrinkles all over his face, as if he was the one who got the promotion.
Chu Tian pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying, "Thank you, Chief Wang, thank you for your cultivation."
Section Chief Wang patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Xiao Chu, work hard, you are still young and have a long way to go!"
Chu Tian nodded mechanically, watched Section Chief Wang leave, then turned and walked into the office.
As soon as he entered the room, the originally bustling office suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes fell on him, as if they were looking at some rare animal.
Chu Tian walked to his seat with gritted teeth. As soon as he sat down, he heard a sarcastic sneer from the side, "Hey, isn't this our great hero Chu Tian? Why are you willing to come down from the countryside?"
The person who spoke was Li Defa, an old man from the purchasing department. He usually liked to take advantage of his seniority and was dissatisfied with everyone.
Chu Tian was too lazy to pay attention to him and lowered his head to organize the documents on the table.
"Li Defa, please say less!" Section Chief Liu, who was sitting opposite Li Defa, couldn't stand it anymore and scolded in a low voice.
Li Defa curled his lips and muttered quietly: "I am telling the truth. I just went to the countryside to kill a few pheasants and rabbits, and I got promoted. In this day and age, promotion and wealth depend on this?"
Although his voice was small, it was particularly clear in the quiet office, and several colleagues around him couldn't help but laugh.
Chu Tian clenched his fists and tried to hold back his anger. He knew that he had always been unpopular in the factory. Everyone called him a "country bumpkin" and a "mud-legged kid" behind his back, disliking him because he came from the countryside, had no education, and no background.
This time he was sent to the countryside to purchase goods, and he was away for three months. After he came back, he was promoted, which aroused the jealousy and criticism of many people.
"Chu Tian has made great contributions to the factory, what do you know!" Section Chief Liu glared at Li Defa, then turned and winked at Chu Tian, signaling him not to take it to heart.
Chu Tian forced a smile, but he felt mixed emotions. He knew that even if he explained that he had discovered a new source of raw materials in the countryside and saved the factory a lot of money, these people would not believe him. They would just think that they were lucky.
Just as I was thinking, the office door was suddenly pushed open.
"Is Chu Tian here?"
"It's me." Chu Tian stood up and looked at the other person in confusion.
"Hello, the factory manager wants you to come over."
It turned out to be Secretary Jiang.
As soon as he left, the office was in an uproar.
"Hey, isn't this the 'Living Lei Feng' of our purchasing department? What's the matter? You didn't get the promotion this time. Are you feeling very unbalanced?" The speaker was Wang Qiang, a greasy-haired guy who often took advantage of his uncle being the chairman of the factory's labor union to make things difficult for He Kun.
As soon as Jiang Xue stepped out of the office, Li Defa's sarcastic voice rang out: "Hey, which leader has taken a fancy to our great hero Chu? He's going to be promoted again!"
A skinny man next to him also said in a sarcastic tone: "That's right, they say 'one man's success brings prosperity to the whole family', we can just wait to eat the dust!"
"I think this kid Chu Tian might have done something shameful in the countryside, that's why..." Another man with a greasy face lowered his voice, made a gesture of grabbing something with his hands, with an obscene smile on his face.
Section Chief Liu couldn't stand it any longer, and slammed the table, angrily saying: "All of you should stop talking! Chu Tian went to the countryside to make contributions to the factory, what do you know!"
"Oh, Chief Liu, you are well-informed. Tell us, what achievements has he made? Let us also broaden our horizons." Li Defa squinted his eyes with a look of disdain.
"That's right, tell us about it, and let us ordinary people learn from it, how can one person achieve enlightenment?"
Section Chief Liu was so angry that his face turned pale. He pointed at them for a long time and was unable to speak.
Chu Tian was upset. He had expected this to happen. These people would always hide in dark corners and make sarcastic remarks. He took a deep breath, stood up, looked at Li Defa coldly, and said word by word: "Li Defa, keep your mouth shut! I am upright and I am not afraid of your nonsense!"
"Hey, you dare to threaten me? Who do you think you are?" Li Defa stiffened his neck and showed no weakness.
"I just can't stand your smug look!" Chu Tian slammed his fist on the table, making a loud noise. The office suddenly fell silent, and everyone stared at him in amazement, as if they were meeting him for the first time.
Chu Tian's chest was heaving violently. He knew he was impulsive, but he couldn't bear it anymore. He was tired of this life of being looked down upon and smeared by others. He just wanted to work hard and live a peaceful life. Why was it so difficult?
He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, glanced at everyone coldly, then turned around and strode out the door. He wanted to find the factory director and ask him what he had done wrong to be treated like this!
He walked all the way to the door of the factory director's office and was about to knock when he heard a familiar female voice coming from inside. The voice was charming and flattering, which made him feel indescribably irritated.
"Director, please try this tea. I brought it back from the south..."
That voice was like a thorn, piercing Chu Tian's heart fiercely. He clenched his fists and pushed the door open violently...
"Enough! It's already this late and you're still gossiping here! Don't you want to do your job anymore?!" Section Chief Liu slammed the table and shouted angrily.
