Chapter 560: Chapter 561 Sister Flowers Educated Youth 78_1
Right before the New Year, Shen Jianshe knew he couldn’t transfer his job, so he directly proposed early retirement.
The tumult and changes in the finance department had, in fact, already become known to many underneath.
Everyone was aware that Shen Jianshe, the chief accountant, wasn’t promoted to head of the finance department. Instead, after a paratrooper was appointed, it was false to say he wasn’t flustered.
Initially, when leadership was suddenly taken over by a paratrooper, people were merely slightly surprised and worried about whether the new leader would be easy to talk to.
But what nobody expected was that Shen Jianshe would then directly propose early retirement, especially after his transfer request failed.
"It looks like this new leader really isn’t much, otherwise why would Shen Ke do this," they said.
Everyone nodded in agreement, "Yeah, even Shen Ke couldn’t hold on."
Some people, aware of Shen Jianshe’s impending retirement, started to eye his position.
As long as Shen Jianshe continued working there, nobody dared entertain the thought, simply because Shen Jianshe had both seniority and ability.
But now that he was leaving, there was no need for courtesy; frankly, courtesy was unnecessary.
Shen Jianshe was very straightforward with his wish to retire early, and it took the factory leadership by surprise.
The head of the finance department, following instructions from above, invited Shen Jianshe for a talk, "Old Shen, we’ve been colleagues for many years, and we’ve had a good partnership."
"I know about this matter," said the retiree, for whom who became the next head of the finance department really didn’t matter.
The decision not to let Shen Jianshe take over was made by the leaders, and now he was stepping down—suddenly it was his problem.
"You know that Xiao Jie and her brother are studying in Capital City, and if all goes well, they plan to work there."
"They came back looking so thin, they mentioned maybe we should move to Capital City."
"Although the income would be less, they’re about to start working and earning, which would be enough for our family’s living expenses."
"I’d be reluctant, after all, it’s been thirty years of working here."
"But the children are important too, and now they’re running between school and the hospital."
"They even say they’ll be busy once they become doctors."
"When the old lady heard, she got anxious and said she wanted to go to Capital City to cook for them."
"With the old lady being her age, we really can’t be at ease."
"Might as well the whole family move directly to Capital City."
Shen Jianshe remained firm, stating his children in Capital City needed care and weren’t having an easy time.
The head of the finance department wasn’t foolish and knew it still came down to the position of head of the department, "Old Shen, what if you continue as head?"
"Don’t talk about being head. Really, even if you made me the factory director now, I wouldn’t want to do it."
"How many more years can I work? How many years do the children have to work?"
"Of course, I would take care of them." He didn’t even begin to mention his complete lack of interest in the position of head.
Even if he wanted it, he wouldn’t foolishly reveal that, "It’s just the right time to change to a new head and promote a new chief accountant. Everything should be fresh."
"If there’s nothing else, I’m going to go sort out my things," said Shen Jianshe as he got up to leave.
After all, everyone was behaving without any pretense, and the factory’s leaders weren’t likely to treat him any differently as chief accountant. Why should he appease them?
The head of the finance department watched Shen Jianshe’s departing figure, knowing he was serious this time; even if the factory leadership offered so-called guarantees, this man wouldn’t believe them.
His reason wasn’t just for the leaders. Whether it was to colleagues or old acquaintances, he insisted that he was moving to Capital City to take care of the children.
Shen Jie and others agreed, reasoning that since they were going to be living and working in Capital City indefinitely, it made sense to move now.
Although some felt that Shen Jianshe was giving up too much for his children, especially when he still had a lot to offer in his position, the majority understood, saying, "If my son were as promising, I’d definitely go to Capital City too."
The factory leadership, initially intending to entice Shen Jianshe with promises, hadn’t expected that this time they wouldn’t even get the chance to make an offer.
"Never mind, if he wants to leave, let him leave. The finance department will survive without him," they said.
One of the leaders, who had actually suggested the paratrooper for the position of head of finance, was quite annoyed.
He had thought to have Shen Jianshe assist from the sidelines and, if he performed well, to make him the deputy head of finance.
But it turned out that this person didn’t give the leaders any face at all, "Speed up his handover procedures."
"Let Xiao Sun take over as chief accountant for a few months," the leader quickly made arrangements.
Shen Jianshe received the news rather calmly and handed things over to his successor, "If you have any questions, you can ask the head."
Although the handover period was short, Shen Jianshe truly wasn’t optimistic about the successor, who was arrogant and lacked the necessary foundational skills.
Such a person, as chief accountant, would be fine with someone above managing, but he worried about the day when the youth would hold significant power and possibly cause chaos in the finance department.
Forget it, it wasn’t his problem anymore if chaos ensued, as long as he provided a more detailed explanation of his duties.
He’d rather write more, ensuring that everything that needed recording was noted down, creating several documents, and having more people to witness it all.
In short, he wouldn’t let himself be dragged into any trouble.
Shen Jie, knowing that Shen Jianshe had given the leadership such a hard time, thought it very likely he would agree to retire early.
But she expected it would take a few months before he started the process; to her surprise, just as they were preparing to head to Capital City, Shen Jianshe had already mostly completed the proceedings.
Seeing Shen Jie’s surprised expression, Shen Jianshe also smiled, "When the time comes, you guys look for a house."
"If possible, buy it." Shen Jianshe wasn’t keen on living in a mixed residential compound, with too many people around.
The house they were living in now was almost like such a compound; any slight incident at home would immediately become the talk of the town, which he really disliked.
Shen Jianshe hummed in agreement, "That way, your brother can stay at home when he gets married, and you and your brother will have a place to stay when you come home."
Shen Jie hummed her agreement, indicating she could handle this task, "Dad, when do you plan to head north?"
Thinking it would at least be when spring came and everything was ready in Capital City before moving in.
Unexpectedly, Shen Jianshe’s move to Capital City was imminent, "Within a month at the latest, we’re heading north."
That soon? Shen Xiaohui also felt there must be a problem to be in such a rush.
"That guy’s not competent, and I worry he’ll cause trouble sooner or later; I have no intention of cleaning up his mess."
He didn’t want to face a host of tricky issues if things went sour, and having a leader knock on his door with a smiling face, tasking him to deal with the mess.
"Then leave sooner," Lady Shen Li said hastily, agreeing that it was better to depart earlier.
Shen Jie, who had worked in finance, also nodded incessantly—cleaning up such a mess would indeed be a tough job.
"If the leadership won’t be considerate and insists on placing their own people, then they should bear the consequences if anything goes wrong."
After working at the factory for so many years, Shen Jianshe couldn’t quite say that, but judging by his smiling face, it was clear that a lot was left unsaid.
