Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

"Old superior, actually I should have come to visit you a long time ago. It's just that there are too many things going on in our steel rolling mill these days. As the director of the factory, I am so busy that I really can't spare the time to come. I still hope Don’t be offended.”

Factory Director Yang drank tea and slowly explained why he had not been able to show up since his old superior retired.

The old superior frowned, put down the teacup, and looked at Director Yang: "Xiao Yang, I understand the situation in the steel rolling mill. I was the one who sent Deputy Director Li to prison. Why, it's been so long. Time, haven't you taken full control of the rolling mill yet?

I'm not talking about you, Xiao Yang, you are too principled in doing things, and you will suffer a big loss. "

Hearing the concerned words from his old superior, Director Yang felt a burst of joy in his heart.

Over the years, he has been pretending to be upright in front of workers, colleagues, and superiors, just to win the trust of the big guys.

In fact, Director Yang is also a selfish person in private.

In the original work, the situation was so difficult that the workers could only eat stick noodle porridge and gnaw radish sticks. As the director of the factory, Director Yang asked Silly Zhu to cook Tan's dishes for him at home.

You must know that Tan's cuisine is a palace dish, also known as "Number One Dishes". The raw materials used are very precious, such as "Barbecued Pork", "Braised Duck Liver", "Garlic Scallops", "Spiced Fish", "Soft Fried Chicken" , "Grilled Sausage" and even "Shark's Fin and Bird's Nest" are common ingredients in Tan's cuisine.

Later, in order to satisfy his appetite, he re-employed Sha Zhu even though he knew that he was a hustler.

This shows that Director Yang is just good at pretending.

Facing the concern of his old superior, Director Yang took the opportunity to look aggrieved.

"Old leader, you are retired now. There are many things that those people did not report to you!"

These words directly touched the mind of the old superior. He straightened his chest and looked at Director Yang with a serious face: "Xiao Yang, tell me what happened in your steel rolling mill directly!"

Director Yang did not say it directly, but continued to sigh: "You have retired. You have worked hard all your life. You should have enjoyed your old age long ago. I didn't intend to trouble you, but I can't just watch us. Tens of thousands of workers in the steel rolling mill have no food to eat, so they have the audacity to come here, and I hope you won’t be angry.”

"Xiao Yang, what are you talking about? You are doing it for the good of the steel rolling mill. How can I be angry? I watched the steel rolling mill grow up with my own eyes. Tell me what happened quickly!" The old superior said Suddenly, he fell completely into Director Yang's trap.

Instead of Factory Director Yang begging him to do something, he begged Director Yang. The change of their identities allowed Director Yang to take the initiative.

Director Yang was waiting for this opportunity, so he said unhurriedly: "Since you retired, the ministries and commissions have greatly reduced their support for our steel rolling mill. Many new machinery are not available to us! You also know that the steel rolling mill It is a heavy-duty factory. Without advanced equipment, how can we produce first-class products?

Some comrades in the ministries and commissions did not care about this. Instead, they took the opportunity to accuse our rolling mill of substandard products and took the opportunity to cut our orders.

Without orders, most of the workshops in our steel rolling mill have stopped working, and the workers cannot receive full wages.

Those workers are the breadwinners of their families and have no wages. How can they live like that?

I, the factory director, am incompetent and let them suffer! "

As he spoke, Director Yang became more dramatic and choked up, with tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes.

It has to be said that after so many years of disguise, Director Yang is very good at acting. If Qin Huairu were here, he would feel inferior.

"Snapped!"

The old superior's face changed greatly when he heard this, he slapped the table hard and said loudly: "Nonsense! The steel rolling mill is a key factory. It made outstanding contributions to industrial construction back then. How can the steel rolling mill be dismissed just because there are several new factories?" Leave it behind! Doesn’t this mean that we like the new and dislike the old?”

"Yes, I have written to the ministries and commissions several times, hoping to get more orders from the ministries and commissions, but they simply ignored me as the factory director." Director Yang continued to perform: "It doesn't matter to me as the factory director, I can get it every month I get paid, but I feel sorry for those workers, who contributed a lot to industrial construction back then."

As he spoke, Director Yang stood up and said loudly: "Old superior, I have thought about it. When I get back, I will resign from the ministry and ask them to arrange a new director to lead the steel rolling mill. Maybe the comrades of the ministry will It will eliminate the dissatisfaction with the steel rolling mill.”

Factory Director Yang knew very well that his old superior had retired and no longer wanted to interfere in these matters. If he didn't take some drastic measures, today's trip would be in vain.

really.

The old superior's originally angry face turned gloomy: "Xiao Yang, you didn't do anything wrong, why did you resign? Don't worry, I will definitely help your steel rolling mill win orders."

Director Yang was secretly happy and quickly thanked you: "Old leader, on behalf of the more than 1 workers in our steel rolling mill, I would like to thank you now! It's just..."

"Just what?"

"Even if you come forward this time, the ministry will give us some orders, but this is not a long-term solution." Director Yang said worriedly.

The old superior remained silent.

Because he also knows that he is no longer in business now, and being able to win a batch of orders is already his greatest ability.

Director Yang continued: "Old superior, I have an idea here."

"Come and listen."

"I wonder, old superior, have you ever heard of Orchid Automobile Factory?"

"Of course!"

Even though Orchid Automobile Factory has nothing to do with his old superior, he still feels very honored when he mentions Orchid Automobile Factory.

"It is the largest automobile factory in our country. The new energy vehicles it produces sell well at home and abroad. It earns a huge amount of foreign exchange every year. It is the treasure of the ministry."

Halfway through the words, the old superior suddenly raised his head and looked at Director Yang: "What do you mean?"

"Old leader, I heard that Lanhua Automobile Factory has developed a new type of vehicle and is looking for a factory to make frame steel. Our steel rolling plant is not good at other technologies. When it comes to forged steel, we are good at it. I guarantee that It can provide qualified products to Lanhua Automobile Factory.

If we can get an order from Lanhua Automobile Factory, we won't have to worry about orders in the future. "

After listening to Factory Director Yang's words, the old superior also fell into deep thought.

If it were another factory, he would definitely agree without hesitation now, but Lanhua Automobile Factory is a special existence even among ministries.

Most people would not dare to interfere in the affairs of Lanhua Automobile Factory.

only.
There is nothing wrong with Director Yang’s idea.

Any car developed by Orchid Automobile Factory can sell millions of units.

At the same time, it will definitely bring a large number of orders, and the order price of Lanhua Automobile Factory is far higher than other orders from ministries and commissions. In addition to ultra-high labor remuneration, Lanhua Automobile Factory will also provide large subsidies to production factories. Used to improve the working environment of workers.

If the steel rolling mill gets an order from Lanhua Automobile Factory, then it may not have to worry about orders in the future.

The old superior had watched the steel rolling mill grow up, and could not bear to watch half his life's hard work being ruined.

After much hesitation, he nodded and said: "Xiao Yang, your idea is very good, but Lanhua Automobile Factory, unlike ordinary factories, has very high requirements for production materials. After you go back, immediately draw up a feasibility bidding report. , I personally submitted it to the ministry.”

After hearing this, Director Yang finally felt relieved.

The old superior has worked in ministries and commissions for decades. As long as he is willing to come forward, he will be given some face.

"Old leader, don't worry. After I go back, I will hold a factory committee meeting to prepare this matter as soon as possible."

the other side.

After Liu Haizhong was frightened out of the office by Director Yang's 'threats', he felt troubled.

Factory Director Yang has an upright character, and he always looks at his subordinates and the employees of the steel rolling mill without hesitation.

Moreover, whether it is a general meeting or a small meeting, he will emphasize that he is upright and will never do such dirty things.

In fact, Liu Haizhong couldn't figure out whether transferring Liu Guangqi to the steel rolling mill was a dirty thing.However, you have to go through the back door.

"It seems that looking for Director Yang is definitely not possible. So what should we do?"

Liu Haizhong was pacing back and forth under the office building of the steel rolling mill. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he remembered someone.

Deputy Director Ma!

Deputy Director Ma was transferred from the factory next door to the rolling mill as deputy director after Deputy Director Li stepped down.

However, since Director Yang had completely taken control of the steel rolling mill at that time, Deputy Director Ma, as a new deputy director, had been suppressed by the factory committee, so he seemed inconspicuous.

So much so that many workers in the steel rolling mill have forgotten about Deputy Director Ma.

Although Deputy Director Ma is a factory leader sitting on the bench, he is still the factory leader.

As long as he is willing to come forward, Liu Guangqi can definitely be transferred to the steel rolling mill.

but
Liu Haizhong had no friendship with Deputy Factory Director Ma, so it was not appropriate to just come to the door empty-handed and ask for help from others.

then.

Liu Haizhong went to the workshop and asked for a leave from the workshop director.

The forging workshop is now almost at a standstill due to lack of orders. Naturally, the workshop director will not refute Liu Haizhong's face.

"Old Liu, there's not much work to do today anyway, you might as well go back and rest for a day."

Hearing this, Liu Haizhong quickly waved his hand to the workshop director: "Boss, I just went out to do a small thing and will come back right after I finish it."

Are you kidding me? Ever since the factory fell into an embarrassing situation of almost halting production due to failure to get orders, the steel rolling mill has stipulated that anyone who asks for leave will have their wages deducted.

The workshop director knows Liu Haizhong's temperament. If he were an ordinary small worker, he would definitely be absent from work today.

But Liu Haizhong is the master of the blacksmith workshop after all, so he still has to give him some face.

He didn't say anything more. He just asked Liu Haizhong to come back as soon as he finished his work, so that people from the factory office would not go to the workshop to count people.

"Don't worry, I'll be able to do things safely in my bangs!"

Liu Haizhong patted his chest at the workshop director, left the workshop, borrowed a bicycle, and went to the department store in Xizhimen.

Since you are asking someone to do something, you have to bring a gift.

Although he didn't know what kind of gifts Deputy Factory Director Ma liked, as long as he was a gay man, he would never go wrong if he brought cigarettes and alcohol.

Even if Director Ma doesn't like tobacco and alcohol, he can still give it to relatives and friends, or take it to a recycling place and exchange it for money.

It's just that Liu Haizhong is a little embarrassed about what kind of cigarettes and alcohol to give.

If the gift is too expensive, I will be reluctant to give it away. If the gift is cheap, I am afraid that Deputy Factory Director Ma will not look down on him.

If this angers Deputy Factory Director Ma, it will be counterproductive.

In the end, Liu Haizhong bought a large front door and two bottles of Laofen wine, which cost nearly ten yuan.

A gift of ten dollars may not seem like much in the eyes of future generations, but in this era, it is already top-notch.

Liu Haizhong hid it in the canvas bag. After returning to the steel rolling mill, he went straight to Deputy Director Ma's office.

As the most leisurely deputy director of the steel rolling mill, Deputy Director Ma spends his days drinking tea and reading newspapers.

Today is no exception.

When he heard the knock on the door and saw Liu Haizhong standing outside, Deputy Director Ma was stunned.

"Comrade, did you go to the wrong door?"

Liu Haizhong smiled flatteringly: "Director Ma, I am Liu Haizhong, a seventh-level forger in the blacksmith workshop. I am here to report to you."

As soon as these words came out, Deputy Director Ma's eyes widened.

It has been several years since he came to the steel rolling mill, and no one has reported to him yet.

Besides, this man is still a seventh-level master.

Deputy Director Ma was able to step up from a small clerk to the position of deputy director, which is also very ambitious.

The appearance of Liu Haizhong immediately ignited the fire in his heart.

"Come in, come in, come in quickly."

Deputy Director Ma hurriedly let Liu Haizhong into the house. After closing the door, he personally poured tea for Liu Haizhong.

Then, he sat opposite Liu Haizhong and assumed the posture of a factory director.

"You just said that you wanted to report to me? But I am responsible for the work of the Women's Federation. What do you want to report?"

The steel rolling mill has one director and five deputy directors.

The director is responsible for overseeing the overall situation, while the deputy directors are responsible for their own specific tasks.

The more powerful deputy director is responsible for key departments such as logistics and publicity, while the less powerful one is responsible for the labor union and the like.

People like Deputy Director Ma, who are at the bottom of the list, can only be responsible for the work of the Women's Federation.

Liu Haizhong hadn't thought about this problem yet, and he said wisely: "Director, you may not know that my relationship with my wife and I is very bad recently. We often quarrel. I feel that I am a little sorry for female comrades, so I come here to express my gratitude to you." The review is coming.”

"Really?" Deputy Director Ma didn't believe it at all.

Are you kidding? There are no gay men who take the initiative to self-examine.

If we had this awareness, there would be no quarrels at all.

Moreover.

Even if there is a review, it should be the Chairman of the Women's Federation, not the powerless deputy director.

"Yes, yes, absolutely!" Liu Haizhong, as the second uncle of the courtyard, often handles family disputes.

Facing Deputy Factory Director Ma, he put all the words he had used to educate the courtyard residents on himself.

Don't tell me, that's quite the case.

"Well, Comrade Liu Haizhong, it seems that you have realized your mistakes. If you know your mistakes, you should correct them. You are still a good comrade!" Deputy Director Ma nodded.

Liu Haizhong stood up quickly and took the opportunity to say: "Director Ma, I have benefited a lot from your lectures today. To thank you, I have specially prepared some small gifts!"
