Siheyuan starts to eat the old man

Li Pingcheng took the newspaper from Zhang Daquan with a look of surprise. After glancing at the contents, he was about to say something when someone ran in from outside.

"There is an emergency notice from Section Chief Li. Director Chen wants you to go to his office for a meeting."

There were leaders from other departments who wanted to inform the visitor, so Li Ping'an didn't say much. He just left these words and hurriedly left the Purchasing Department without waiting for Li Ping'an's reply.

Today's newspaper has just been delivered, so let's go to the meeting now. You don't have to think about it. You know what you are going to do. Li Ping'an didn't waste time. He simply comforted everyone and told Zhang Daquan not to talk nonsense. Then he picked up his pen and paper. He hurried to Chen Youfu's office.

By the time Li Ping'an arrived at Chen Youfu's office, the logistics leaders had already arrived. According to their familiarity, these people gathered together in twos and threes to discuss the contents of the newspaper in a low voice.

There were so many people and so many people, Li Ping'an just nodded to Chen Youfu, then found a seat and sat down, talking about the contents of the newspaper with the people around him who were discussing.

Chen Youfu, who had been sitting on the main seat with his eyes closed and meditating, coughed when he saw that everyone had arrived, and attracted everyone's attention, before saying loudly:
"Comrades, you have all seen the content in today's newspaper. This is a sudden decision by the organization. I only received the news after going to work this morning. The cancellation of the holiday is not something that we can discuss. What is in the newspaper The content is very clear. If you don’t understand anything, please read the newspaper. Okay, let’s first report the number of people in each department who asked for leave today and returned to their hometowns.”

"Director, our department is supposed to have 13 people, but there are actually 10 people, and three people are on leave."

"We have two people on leave here."

"Take leave and go back to your hometown"

Glancing at the number of people who have asked for leave, Chen Youfu frowned: "This is not possible. There are too many people who have asked for leave. There will be no holiday during the Spring Festival this year. I need to ask you to bring back all the people who have returned to their hometowns."

As soon as these words came out, all the leaders of the departments who had employees who asked for leave showed ugly expressions and complained one after another. This person has probably already boarded the train back to his hometown. How can he call him back?Are you going to chase the train?

Looking at his men with frowning faces, Chen Youfu knew that this was not going to be easy to handle, and felt helpless in his heart. The news came too suddenly, catching everyone off guard.

In order to show his superiors and avoid being set as a role model, Li Huaide issued a fatal order that everyone must be at work on the Spring Festival day regardless of the reason. Those who are sick and hospitalized must be carried to the steel rolling mill as long as they are not on the operating table.

Under Li Huaide's heavy pressure, Chen Youfu could only force his subordinates to take action. Regardless of the wails of the people below, he issued a strict order that everyone must be at work tomorrow. over-processed.

Under heavy pressure, the leaders of various departments shut their mouths one by one and did not dare to continue bargaining. They all proposed to end the meeting immediately and mobilized everyone to go to the train station to find someone.

The first section was all staffed by locals from Forty-Nine City, and there was no such thing as asking for leave in advance and returning home. Li Ping'an, who was sitting aside with nothing to do, heard that someone wanted to mobilize everyone in the logistics department to go to the train. Standing looking for someone, Li Pingan suddenly became a Muggle. In this cold weather, Li Pingan didn't want to go outside to find someone in a cold haha.

In order to avoid being lazy, Li Ping'an, who had nothing to do with himself, raised his hand to express that he had something to say.

Chen Youfu saw that Li Pingan had something to say, so he pressed his hand. After the office quieted down, he nodded at Li Pingan and signaled Li Pingan to speak.

"I would like to mention that I think everyone should not be too impatient about finding comrades who have taken leave to return to their hometown. This matter is not as difficult as everyone thinks."

Everyone was anxious now. When they heard what Li Pingan said, they immediately retorted unhappily: "That's right, it's not Li Pingan who will be punished if he can't be found. Of course you don't have to worry."

Glancing at the person who spoke, it was Xu Fuli, the chief of the material department. They had the most people asking for leave in the department. Li Pingan smiled. He was not angry because of Xu Fuli's words, but smiled and continued: "Old Xu, Don't be so arrogant, I haven't finished speaking yet, can you wait until I finish speaking before you express your opinion?"

After Xu Fuli took a deep breath, he scratched his head irritably and did not object, which meant that Li Ping'an could continue.

Seeing that no one else had any intention of objecting, Li Ping'an spoke again: "The reason why I told everyone not to worry is because the news of the cancellation of spring break has been published in the newspapers, and the comrades at the train station must have also received the news. , everyone said, will they notify the passengers going to the station today? Will they cancel the extra trains to go home for the Spring Festival?"

Will Li Ping'an say it? Everyone's eyes lit up. As soon as Li Ping'an finished speaking, the big stone that had just been weighing on everyone's hearts suddenly disappeared.

"Yes, that makes sense. The station will definitely inform passengers catching trains that spring break is canceled this year."

"Yes, yes, after all, we are young people, and our minds work very quickly."

"So we don't have to worry anymore? We don't have to go to the station to find someone, we just need to sit in the office?"

Just as Li Ping'an had guessed, the train station was in chaos at this time. The announcer in the station broadcast room used his sweet voice to play the news of the cancellation of this year's spring break over and over again on the loudspeaker.

The staff were busy refunding tickets to passengers, and the train that was supposed to leave long ago was parked quietly on the tracks.

Papapa

A burst of applause broke out, first led by Chen Youfu, followed by the leaders of other departments who quickly followed after they realized what was happening. Suddenly there was a burst of applause in the office.

"Chief Li, I was angry just now and I said something unpleasant, please don't mind." After Xu Fuli finished applauding, he apologized excitedly to Li Ping'an.

Regarding Xu Fuli's apology, Li Ping'an smiled and waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that he didn't take it to heart at all.

"Chen Chen, why don't you call the station first and ask about the situation? What I just said was just a wild guess. What if the station didn't notify us? Wouldn't that affect our search for someone?"

"That makes sense. I'll call the train station now." Chen Youfu said, picking up the phone on the table and calling the train station. Li Ping'an was not the only smart person. At this time, all the factories were going crazy. I called the train station to inquire about the situation. I waited for a long time before the call was answered.

After a brief chat with the person at the train station, the person at the train station hung up the phone in a hurry.Chen Youfu put down the phone and nodded to the middle-aged man with a smile on his face. The meaning was naturally self-evident.

Suddenly, there was an even louder cheer in the office, and all the leaders in the department who asked for leave to go back to their hometown cast a grateful look at Li Ping'an.

Chen Youfu pressed his hand to stop everyone's cheering, and after praising Li Ping'an in front of everyone, he started again with the next announcement.

"After talking about the workers returning to work, let's talk about the next notice from the factory. Now that the spring break has been cancelled, the previous system of paying wages half a month in advance is naturally no longer applicable. Our superiors have asked us to pay all wages in advance. All wages earned when you go out will be collected. You will notify us of this when you return, and the finance department will collect them all today."

The smile just now hadn't disappeared yet, after hearing Chen Youfu's next announcement, everyone's smile froze on their faces.

Recovering wages that have already been paid is more difficult than chasing someone at the train station if strictly calculated.

The cancellation of the spring break was announced just now, and wages were paid yesterday. Normally, it only lasted one night. The workers were all working in the factory, so the money they were paid should not have had time to be spent.

But the problem is that these days, many families are living a tight life. The Chinese New Year will be tomorrow. Many families have taken stock of the New Year's goods in advance, and are waiting for their wages to be paid in advance, and then immediately buy the things they need for the New Year. .

Even though it only took one night, there must have been many fast-moving workers who had already used their wages paid in advance to buy home New Year's goods.

Chen Youfu also knew how difficult the task of recovering the wages paid in advance was, so he didn't wait for everyone to express their grievances, and he forcefully kicked everyone out without giving them time to speak up after speaking.

After coming out of Chen Youfu's office, the leaders of each department looked at each other, sighed deeply, and turned around and walked towards their own departments without much communication.

Li Ping'an calmly returned to the Purchasing Department. Looking at the listless employees, Li Ping'an conveyed the orders of his superiors expressionlessly.

A place like the Purchasing Department is inherently rich, and these people all have some means of making money. The brave ones, like Zhang Changlin, use their convenience to make a lot of money, while the timid Yan Guo plucks his hair every month. There are a few dozen yuan in extra income. This is an unspoken rule of the industry, and there is no one who does not make money.

In addition, these people are all Wu Yajun's subordinates. After Li Ping'an came to power, these people knew that Li Ping'an would not give them a good look. Therefore, when everyone heard that the wages paid in advance were to be withdrawn, no one raised any objections. He said he would go home and get money at noon.

Looking at Wu Yajun's former subordinates who were very aware of current affairs, Li Ping'an nodded with satisfaction. Suddenly he didn't want to make a big change and put his own people in key positions. As long as these people are honest, it's not like they can't be allowed to continue. So mixed up.

Not everyone has money to make money. In other offices where there is no money or money, there are many people who can support a large family with one person's salary. In the morning, the steel rolling mill was full of mourning. Many people have already used this salary. People are trying every means to borrow money to fill the hole.

When Li Ping'an went to deliver food to Ding Qiunan at noon, Ding Qiunan took all the money out of his pocket on the spot.

"That's it? Why don't you go home and get some money from home?" Looking at the few dollars found in Li Pingan's trouser pocket, he made a sad face and asked Li Pingan to go home and get the money. .

Looking at Ding Qiunan's movements, Li Ping'an understood what was going on, and said in confusion: "What's wrong? Isn't the income of your hospital low? Why would someone ask you to borrow money?"

"The income is not low, but the expenses at home are not small. You can bring 20 yuan when you go home. I will lend it to my colleagues for emergencies."

Li Pingan nodded, saying that there is no problem. The character of these days is still trustworthy. There are still few people like Qin Huairu who borrow money and do not repay it. Most people are very honest about money, and borrowing money from others I really wanted to return it as soon as possible.

It was not convenient to get money from the warehouse in the infirmary. After Li Ping'an finished his meal in the cafeteria and took out 20 yuan from the warehouse, he went to the infirmary again and gave the money to Ding Qiunan.

By the time they got to work in the afternoon, most of the people who had asked for leave had already reported back to the factory. Except for a very few who had taken the train last night, the rest had all returned.As for those who have already boarded the train, if they arrive at the station now, they are probably already looking at the tickets they bought with a grimace.

After successfully collecting the money and handing it over to the financial office, I spent the whole afternoon busy. This sudden news disrupted all the arrangements of the rolling mill during this period, and everything had to start planning again.

After a busy afternoon, Li Ping'an drove Ding Qiunan and Yi Zhonghai home in a jeep.

After returning to the courtyard, he found that the Spring Festival couplets that Yan Fugui had posted earlier had been torn off by him. Paper.

Every year before the end of the year, Yan Fugui would buy a large pile of red paper to write Spring Festival couplets to earn a little money. This was Yan Fugui's must-have item every year. After excluding the cost, he could earn one or two yuan every year, and he could still make some money. Bring back the melon seeds and peanuts needed for the Spring Festival from home.

Now, let alone make money this year, I won’t even be able to recoup the cost of buying paper.

Looking at Yan Fugui with a bitter face, Li Ping'an smiled and joked: "Sir, what are you doing with a pile of red paper? Burn it quickly. This thing is taboo now. There are workers picketing our hospital." Where is the captain of the team?"

"I don't write on the red paper. What kind of taboo is this? Go aside. I'm in a bad mood right now." Yan Fugui, who was frowning and thinking about how to get rid of the red paper, heard Li Ping'an's ridicule. It exploded, and if the red paper burned, we would really lose a lot of money.

Knowing that Yan Fugui was worried about the red paper's money, Li Ping'an thought about it and asked, "Third uncle, do you want to transfer the red paper away?"

"What? Do you have a connection? Tell the third master quickly. Your third master spent [-] cents to buy these red papers. If you lose money, your third master will really not be able to sleep at night." Hearing what Li Pingan said, Yan Fu Gui became interested and quickly came to Li Pingan, ready to hear how Li Pingan dealt with these red papers.
"My suggestion is to wait until your second child gets married. You won't lose money this way."

Li Pingan ran away after finishing the skin, leaving only Yan Fugui jumping behind and yelling at Li Pingan for teasing him, an old man. (End of chapter)
