81: Qi Qingan was very disappointed

Liu Xiaolin was also very affirming of Qi Qingan's serious and responsible work, but his education level was not high. Managing a workshop was fine, but managing an entire factory in the future would require someone with education and vision, so he chose Zhao Rui.

Qi Qingan did not know Liu Xiaolin's thoughts, and the calculations he was making in his heart had not been mentioned to anyone.

"Yes, I also need to learn more from Deputy Factory Director Wang," Liu Xiaolin said to Qi Qingan, who was following him, while walking around the workshop.

"General Manager Liu, you are in charge of the overall situation. I can handle the small matters in the workshop," Qi Qingan guaranteed, patting his chest.

"Then I also have to learn from you. I don't understand much about workshop management," Liu Xiaolin said very humbly.

Seeing that General Manager Liu valued him so much, Qi Qingan increasingly felt that the position of Deputy Factory Director would definitely be his in the future: "I'm just a rough guy, there's nothing to learn. It's just about ensuring the quality control of every process."

The two walked around the workshop and chatted while looking around. Occasionally, a statistician would come over to find Qi Qingan to sign material requisition forms and warehousing forms.

"Are materials in the workshop requisitioned at any time? Don't they need to be requisitioned all at once according to the plan?" Liu Xiaolin asked curiously.

"Requisitioning all materials at once is also very troublesome. Firstly, where would the requisitioned raw materials be stored? Secondly, unused raw materials would have to be returned to the warehouse," Qi Qingan said.

"But won't going to requisition whatever is missing affect the production progress?" Liu Xiaolin thought that if there were no raw materials, the workers would have to wait, and even waiting for twenty minutes would be wasted labor.

"It's fine. Every time it looks like the raw materials are about to run out, the workers will communicate with the warehouse. After the warehouse prepares the goods, the statistician will issue a material requisition form. After I sign it, the workers can go and requisition them. It won't delay that long, at most it's just the time it takes to walk from the workshop to the warehouse," Qi Qingan explained.

"Oh, that's acceptable then," Liu Xiaolin felt that this method of requisitioning materials was also okay.

"Is there a daily statistic for material requisitions?" Liu Xiaolin then became concerned about this question.

"Yes, there are statistics for what was requisitioned each day, how much was used, and how much was returned to the warehouse," Qi Qingan explained in detail.

"Starting tomorrow, give me a copy of this report as well. I'll look at it and familiarize myself with our raw materials," Liu Xiaolin felt that he needed to start gaining a deep understanding of the inbound and outbound management of raw materials now.

"No problem, I'll have the workshop statistician print out an extra copy to report to you," Qi Qingan nodded and said.

"General Manager Liu, are you still walking around the workshop? My master and I are back from seeing the Dr.. We didn't see you in your office, and my master said you must be in the workshop, so we followed," Zhao Rui's voice suddenly came over.

Liu Xiaolin looked up and saw Wang Shengjun and Zhao Rui standing at the workshop entrance talking to him.

"You're back? What did the Dr. say?" Liu Xiaolin's primary concern was Wang Shengjun's health.

"The Dr. said it's a bit of a stomach ulcer, and I need to eat on time and rest on time, and not get too tired. It's nothing serious," Wang Shengjun said with a smile, "I said it was nothing serious, but you insisted on having Zhao Rui take me to the hospital. I didn't want to go, but this kid actually carried me onto the car."

"How could I not handle the matter General Manager Liu instructed me to do well? Master, didn't you feel relieved knowing that seeing the Dr. showed there was no major problem, right?" Zhao Rui said with a smile.

"Master?" Qi Qingan asked, confused.

"Oh, it hasn't been announced to everyone yet. Deputy Factory Director Wang has decided to let Zhao Rui be his Factory Director Assistant, so Zhao Rui calls him Master," Liu Xiaolin explained with a smile.

The smile on Qi Qingan's face gradually faded, and he said with strong disappointment hidden in his heart, "Oh, I see."

He understood instantly that Zhao Rui was the Deputy Factory Director successor in Liu Xiaolin's eyes, and he was nothing.

Liu Xiaolin did not notice Qi Qingan's unhappiness and still said happily, "Zhao Rui is very good. He graduated from a prestigious university, learns quickly, handles things meticulously, and is a management talent. So, Deputy Factory Director Wang and I unanimously agree that he is one of the candidates for Deputy Factory Director in the future."

"Yes, yes, Minister Zhao is indeed very good, very good," Qi Qingan mechanically repeated Liu Xiaolin's words, expressionless.

Wang Shengjun noticed a little clue. With his many years of interaction with Qi Qingan and the quick insight of an older person in seeing problems, he saw that Qi Qingan was very disappointed.

Speaking of which, he had not failed to consider letting Qi Qingan be his successor, but through his usual observations, he felt that Qi Qingan was a bit lacking in controlling the overall situation.

Qi Qingan had risen step by step from a frontline worker to the position of Director Yao. He had no contact with logistics management at all and didn't understand it much.

The position of Deputy Factory Director is very important. Not only is one responsible for the management of the workshop, but one must also have a clear understanding of later stage management.

Recently, Liu Xiaolin has managed the logistics very well. The workshop production task is heavy, so Wang Shengjun has put more effort into production management, only needing to know how things were going with logistics.

Seeing that Qi Qingan already had a grudge against Zhao Rui in his heart, Wang Shengjun was very uneasy: Will there be conflicts between these two in the future? If the workshop management personnel are not convinced by the candidate for Factory Director Assistant, it will have a significant impact on future workshop production.

"Minister Qi is very experienced in workshop management. Zhao Rui, you must learn more from him in the future," Wang Shengjun instructed Zhao Rui with a smile.

"I understand. In terms of workshop production, I need to learn from scratch. Minister Qi, please don't hesitate to teach me in the future," Zhao Rui extended his hand and enthusiastically shook Qi Qingan's hand.

"Hey, I'm just a rough guy, there's nothing I can teach you," Qi Qingan gently pulled his hand away from the grip and said with a serious expression.

Zhao Rui was a bit embarrassed now, and Liu Xiaolin also noticed a little problem.

Goodness, Qi Qingan is very dissatisfied with the newly appointed Factory Director Assistant!

Liu Xiaolin was a smart person, and after thinking for a moment, he understood the reason. But he couldn't directly say that Qi Qingan lacked overall control ability, as that would be quite hurtful.

Thinking about it the other way, in this situation, it could better test Zhao Rui's management and learning abilities, and it could also be considered indirectly forcing Zhao Rui to learn another communication skill.

It's like putting a large catfish among a group of sardines. It stimulates the sardines' will to survive, making them swim around, which also stimulates them to stay alive. This is the catfish effect mentioned in books. Now, with the competition between Qi Qingan and Zhao Rui, it's like adding a catalyst to the calm Jiangnan Machinery Factory. It can not only stimulate their potential power but perhaps only benefit, not harm, workshop production.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaolin was not anxious. Instead, he had more of a mindset of watching a show, to see who among them could use their own ability to convince the other.

"Let's not be modest, both of you are excellent talents and the backbone of our Jiangnan Machinery Factory," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.

Seeing that General Manager Liu actually praised him as a backbone, Qi Qingan suddenly felt enlightened. What about being a Factory Director Assistant? Maybe he would be his assistant in the future! As long as he worked hard and boosted production, the position of Deputy Factory Director would still be his! Why should he admit defeat? Thinking this way, he felt much more cheerful, and the smile on his face increased.
