Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 728
"Manager Xu, I want to ask for leave too..."

"I have an urgent matter at home..."

All of a sudden, another five or six workers came forward to ask Xu Liang for leave.

"What are you doing? Are you rebelling!?" Xu Liang's eyes widened suddenly, and he said to a few workers who asked for leave: "Do you still have a sense of the overall situation? Do you know how urgent our factory's production tasks are now? "

"Manager Xu, there is nothing we can do. There is an urgent matter at home, so we have to deal with it? Now my wife is about to give birth. If something happens, can the factory take the responsibility? Who can give me another wife in the future? A child?" said the young worker.

"Manager Xu, I'm really old. If I was young, I wouldn't have a problem with my shaft working for 24 hours, but now my back hurts so much..."

"Okay, needless to say!" Xu Liang gritted his teeth and said, "Those who don't want to work overtime can leave! You don't even want to earn overtime pay if you have a chance, so no one else is to blame!"

Xu Liang was obviously a little angry when he said this. He really wanted to work overtime and do more work, but these days the working hours stipulated by state-owned enterprises are 8 hours. As a manager, he cannot force workers to work overtime. This is against the law. matter.

"Then thank you, Manager Xu!" Several workers turned around and left the workshop after hearing this.

Although Xu Liang promised to pay the workers overtime pay, the reduced overtime pay has become less attractive to these workers, and it is impossible for them to actively fight for overtime opportunities like Duan Yun was when he was the manager.

Moreover, the health of these elderly master workers is indeed a little too much. From 7 am to 12 pm, they have to eat in the workshop at noon. Let these workers be physically and mentally exhausted.

And most of those young and strong young workers don't have the burden of their families. Besides, today is the weekend, which is the day when the civil air defense dance hall in the factory area is open. Many young people are busy with dating, so naturally they will not miss this opportunity.

So when Xu Liang let go, nearly half of the whole workshop left immediately, and all the remaining workers were listless, looking like they were in a mess.

When the hearts of the people are scattered, the team will naturally be difficult to lead.

Seeing this situation, Xu Liang felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He, who was always energetic, suddenly felt very tired at this moment, as if he could fall asleep instantly by lying on the ground.

This kind of mental state, even in the hardest and most tiring days of his time in the army, he never experienced it. It is most suitable to describe him as exhausted.

"Manager Xu, let's have a sip of tea first." At this moment, workshop director Luo Fei handed an enamel tea mug to Xu Liang.

Luo Fei is still a kind person, and he can see that Xu Liang seems to be in a difficult situation, but Luo Fei can only do that. After all, he doesn't know how to repair that stove, and he can't stop those workers who ask for leave and leave .

"Thank you!" After taking the teacup, Xu Liang's heart warmed, and he said to Luo Fei, "Old Luo, if you ask me to say that the current workers are really irresponsible..."

"Manager Xu, I think what you're doing right now is a bit wrong. Would you like to listen to my advice?" Luo Fei said to Xu Liang.

"Just talk, I'll listen..." Xu Liang said, frowning.

If it was when he first joined the factory as a manager, Xu Liang would not have listened to the advice of his subordinates sincerely, because Xu Liang was full of ambition at that time, and his many years of brilliant military career in the army gave him enough arrogance and confidence. Confidence in managing such a small factory, he himself is a very independent person. Even when he was in the army, he only obeyed his old leader Zhu Junhai.

But what happened today has greatly hurt Xu Liang's self-confidence and self-esteem. He can still see the workers' dissatisfaction with him, but he really can't figure out what he did wrong, and at this time he took the initiative to come forward and talk to Xu Liang. Luo Fei, whom he showed kindly to, warmed his heart immediately, besides, the situation in the factory was really troublesome, so he wanted to hear Luo Fei's good suggestions.

"Let's go out and talk." Luo Fei signaled Xu Liang to follow him outside the workshop.

"En." Xu Liang responded and followed behind him.

After the two walked out of the workshop, they came to an empty corner.

"Smoking." When Luo Fei saw no one around, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Xu Liang.

Xu Liang hesitated, but still took the cigarette from Luo Fei, lit it and took a puff.

"Manager Xu, in fact, I was also a soldier, but I have only been in the army for 4 years. I am not as good as you to be promoted in the army..." Luo Fei said to Xu Liang in a calm tone.

"Eh..." Xu Liangwen was stunned when he heard the words, and asked repeatedly: "How many years have you been a soldier, Director Luo?"

"The army I went to in 69 was a soldier in Chengdu..."

"Ah, my unit is also in the Chengdu Military Region, so I have to call you the old squad leader." Xu Liang said with some surprise.

"It doesn't matter if you call me or not, I'm just a few years older than you." Luo Fei paused, and then said: "When I was demobilized from the army and returned to my hometown, I was a little uncomfortable at first, but at that time The social environment is okay, not as complicated as it is now..."

"Yeah, people nowadays are indeed a little different. They talk about money in everything they do, and they don't have much sense of honor at all..." Knowing that Luo Fei was also a soldier, Xu Liang couldn't help feeling a little closer to him. , I am also willing to talk to him about something in my heart.

"That can't be helped. Isn't this the reform and opening up? There are more and more rich people. It is inevitable that many people will feel unbalanced. Now even private businesses are legal. If it was in the past, it would have been rejected They were dismissed as capitalist roaders..." Luo Fei took a puff of cigarette and said.

"Hmph! People like Duan Yun made the society into a mess!" Xu Liang snorted.

"However, the social environment has changed, and we must learn to keep pace with the times and change accordingly, otherwise, we will really be eliminated by society..." Luo Fei said to Xu Liang.

"Old Luo, what are you trying to say?" Xu Liang glanced at Luo Fei and said.

"Actually, what I mean is very simple. Since we don't have the ability to change this society, we should just let nature take its course." Luo Fei paused, and then said, "Although I don't like Duan Yun's actions, he does. He is very capable, although he is young, but compared to the factory leaders at the main factory, he is simply much stronger. Before he came, this labor service company was a mess that could not be supported. But since he came, the efficiency of the factory has improved day by day, the products have won awards in the whole country, and they have also received export orders, and the workers have made more money... So I feel that Manager Xu, you should change your thinking. Since Duan Yun used to manage the factory well, you can just follow his way..."

"You mean, I still want to learn from Duan Yun's experience in managing factories?" Xu Liang said with a frown.
