Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 191 Beginning

Looking at Xu Damao's leaving back, Tin Kai Man shook his head. Do you still want to bother with this thing?

You won’t be too tired to death later.

What do subordinates do?

That is to share the worries of the leader, especially the subordinates who are close to the leader. They have to do things beautifully for the leader without the leader telling them.

Xu Damao didn't know about all this. He just wanted to go back to work in the factory, where he could show off and it would give him face if he could tell others about it.

Time passed slowly in an unstable environment.

Until this day, Yang Zhenyu received another notice to attend a meeting. He knew that what was coming would eventually come, after all, those people had been shouting slogans for several months.

The same people were present at the meeting today, including factory director Yang Zhizhou, factory secretary Xiang Xuemin, deputy factory director Li Xinmin, deputy factory director Wang Xijun, Yang Zhenyu from the 416 Institute and a dozen other factory leaders.

"Director, what's going on today?"

Since no one heard of anything serious, everyone was relatively relaxed.

"What happened today is big at the same time and small at the same time." Yang Zhizhou said helplessly.

After hearing what Director Yang said, everyone focused their attention on him, wanting to hear what was going on.

Fortunately, Director Yang did not keep the suspense any longer and started to explain the whole story directly.

"Someone suggested that the workers should not take a holiday during the Chinese New Year this year and continue to work," Yang Zhizhou said helplessly.

"What? Continue working? We have been working for a year, and we are not allowed to take a break?" Wang Xijun said in shock.

"There is no other way. The whole country is stepping up efforts to build the motherland, so some people have proposed that workers should not have holidays."

What could Director Yang say? This matter took place in this small conference room, so there was no need to speak in such a high-sounding manner.

"Where did these people come from who shouted these things?" Deputy Director Li asked with a frown.

"As for the few workers in the old city, they believe that they can work peacefully during the New Year holidays. Building the motherland is urgent," said Yang Zhizhou.

"This……"

There is nothing wrong with what he said. Building the motherland is indeed urgent, but no matter what, we must have humanity and we cannot lose this humanity.

Yang Zhenyu knew that this year was just the beginning.

By next year, it will be really inhumane. No one will have a holiday, no matter if they are workers or farmers.

Where can I reason from this?
"Then how do we explain this to the workers?" Secretary Xiang said with a headache.

"What else can we explain? We can just hold a meeting before the New Year and tell the truth. What else can we do?" Yang Zhizhou said helplessly.

"We must tell the truth, but how should we handle the issue of canceling the holidays? If we don't handle it well, it will be difficult to suppress the emotions of the workers," said Deputy Director Li.

"Yes, the most crucial thing is the workers' emotions. If they can't be appeased, it will definitely be a troublesome matter." Yang Zhizhou also nodded.

"So, I called everyone here to discuss this matter and see if there is any good way to solve it."

Although workers will not stop working if there is no holiday, if they go to work with emotional state, it will be dangerous on the one hand and inefficient on the other, which is not what the factory wants to see.

"How about this, we have been holding parties before, why not hold one on New Year's Eve? This way, everyone will have stayed up late, so it won't be too much to take a break on the first day of the new year, right?" Deputy Director Li said.

"Ok?"

Everyone looked at Deputy Factory Director Li. This was indeed a method, using the rules to create conditions reasonably, and no one could find fault with it.

"This is one way, but what if the higher-ups investigate..." Yang Zhizhou said with a frown.

"Well, this is all within a reasonable range. We can't let the workers go to work in a daze, right?" said Deputy Director Li.

"This is very reasonable. We can give it a try." He nodded to the secretary.

"If the party is feasible, then can we also participate in a long-distance run around the city? Then each workshop and each department can send people to participate. This way, the workers in the workshop will have a reason to go over and cheer for their comrades and partners, right?" Wang Xijun said, drawing inferences from one example.

Now, Yang Zhenyu felt that he could solve the case. Before, he was wondering why the number of people exceeded 66 in . It turned out that this was the problem.

"This is also a solution. We can buy two days of time, and then we can give the workers an explanation."

"That's settled then. Let's make our own arrangements and get this done as soon as possible," Yang Zhizhou made the decision.

"We have to make arrangements in advance, otherwise once the news gets out and everyone knows about it, we will be in a passive position," said Secretary Xiang.

"That's right, we're going to make arrangements today."

The meeting was held in a hurry and several leaders were quite anxious.

"Old Tian, ​​I'm afraid you will be busy again this time!" This time, Yang Zhenyu chose to come straight to the point. After all, there was no need to hide anything about this matter.

"Leader, what's going on?" Tin Kai Man looked at Yang Zhen Yu in confusion.

"The factory is planning to organize a Spring Festival Gala, and everyone in the factory will participate. Please prepare the program list first, and we will discuss it later." Yang Zhenyu said.

"Ah? We're going to have a party during the New Year? No holidays?" Tin Kai Man said a little confused.

"I'm afraid there won't be a holiday this year, so we have to make preparations in advance and follow the factory's unified arrangements when the time comes." Yang Zhenyu nodded.

"This..." Tin Kai Man was a little confused.

"This is not a decision made by the factory, but a decision from above. We can only follow it. As for other things, don't ask too many questions and just prepare in advance." Yang Zhenyu shook his head and said.

"Okay, I'll start preparing when I get back. The new announcer at our radio station has a good level of education, so we can ask her to help polish it." Tin Kai Man said.

"Well, go and get ready." Yang Zhenyu nodded.

"Wait a minute, the Publicity Department will send at least one person to participate in the long-distance run around the city. When the time comes, everyone can go and cheer for them."

"Okay, I'll arrange it when I get back." Although he didn't know why it was arranged this way, Tin Kai Man didn't ask any more questions and just went back to carry it out.

Following the actions of the top management of the steel mill, the whole factory got wind of the news.

Many workers do not understand this.

However, there is no way. Who dares to say that building the country is wrong at this time?

Therefore, the discussion can only be conducted in a small circle.

As for resistance, that is impossible.

These days, it’s good enough to live a good life, why are you rebelling?
So, in fact, it didn't cause any big disturbance, but everyone is actively preparing for what needs to be prepared.

"My chicken? Who the hell stole my chicken?"
