Ge Changsheng said angrily:
"Which eye did you see us taking private jobs to earn extra money, or doing this during working hours?"
Several other people followed suit.
"Don't eat carelessly, don't say carelessly! You slander us without any basis, even if you are the workshop director's niece!"
"Master Ge, Hu Xingyan is deliberately throwing dirty water on you because he sees you're competing with his uncle for advancement, and he's dragging us old idiots into this as well."
"You're not capable at work, so you resort to underhanded tactics and schemes, right? You act like your family owns the steel mill, so whatever you say goes."
"Hu Xingyan, I've been at the steel mill for so many years, and everyone knows my character! I'm not afraid of your random accusations. Don't you want to find the factory leaders and call the police?"
"Let's go! We'll go with you and see who's right!"
Hu Xingyan didn't expect that Master Ge and a few other old guys would gang up on her. She was a little scared, but she still mustered up the courage and raised the machine design drawing in her hand.
"So what do you think of this blueprint?"
Ge Changsheng and everyone else choked.
At this moment, a calm male voice sounded.
"Comrade Hu is at least a first-class welder. Could he not even recognize that this is a machine part from the blueprint?"
Hu Xingyan turned around in shock and saw Huo Qiu Sheng's handsome face. She immediately fell in love with him and even ignored the sarcasm in Huo Qiu Sheng's words.
She said shyly, "Of course I could see that. That's why I doubt them."
Huo Qiusheng said, "They are welders. It's normal for them to look at machine drawings during work hours. Why are you so suspicious?"
"It really makes me doubt your professional ability."
I almost said that Hu Xingyan was sick!
Hu Xingyan's face turned ashen with anger, and her heart felt blocked.
She relied on her father being the workshop director and her uncle being an eighth-level welder to act arrogantly in the steel plant. She was also the youngest daughter in the family, and she had never been treated like this in her life.
In an instant, her admiration for Huo Qiusheng vanished into thin air, and she said angrily:
"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before? Are you from our steel mill?"
Without waiting for Huo Qiusheng to speak, Hu Xingyan seemed to have thought of something and showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
"I know! You're the one who asked them to take the private job. This machine design is yours!"
After saying this, Hu Xingyan looked at Ge Changsheng again as if she had found something to hold against him, and started to question him:
"Master Ge, didn't you just say I had no evidence?"
"Now that we've caught you red-handed, what else do you have to say?!"
Ge Changsheng looked unhappy.
Hu Xingyan was very pleased with herself and was about to add insult to injury.
I saw a very beautiful female comrade coming over and said with a half-smile:
"Since you have solid evidence, go ahead and file a complaint."
"We're all here waiting for you."
Ge Changsheng was shocked and thought Yunduan was crazy. He opened his mouth to say something.
But I also felt that no matter what I said, it was irreversible, and I felt like I had aged several years in an instant.
Hu Xingyan's uncle has always been his competitor and has long wanted to squeeze him out of the steel plant!
If Hu Xingyan had this handle on him, he would definitely not be able to stay in the steel plant.
He sighed, looked at Hu Xingyan and said, "It's just me, it has nothing to do with them!"
"They just looked at the machine blueprints."
After hearing this, Ge Changsheng's friends wanted to make excuses, but Ge Changsheng stopped them with a look.
Hu Xingyan originally only wanted to target Ge Changsheng. As for his friends, all of them were level eight welders, and the steel plant could not fire them all at once.
Hu Xingyan didn't bother to bother with the other people anymore. She snorted coldly and went to complain to the factory leaders.
As soon as she left, several of Master Ge's friends came forward to comfort him.
Master Ge waved his hand. "It's no big deal! Individuals are allowed to start businesses now. I have skills, so I won't starve even if I leave the steel mill."
"You don't have to worry about me!"
"Isn't there an article in the newspaper called 'Is it the distortion of human nature or the decline of morality?'"
“There’s no shame in being self-employed!”
"Those who look down on self-employed individuals have problems themselves..."
Ge Changsheng talked a lot, and Yunduan didn't expect to meet his readers here. From what he said, he seemed to be a die-hard fan!
After Ge Changsheng finished speaking, his friends all followed suit.
"I read that article, too. It's absolutely spot on! People like us who have skills can earn more by doing it ourselves!"
"You can earn more by taking any job than we do here!"
"Master Ge, go out and do it yourself first. When you make a lot of money, don't forget us."
“…”
It was obvious from the clouds that Master Ge was only pretending to be calm and indifferent on the surface, but he was actually very upset about losing his job.
She could understand it too. After all, Master Ge was already in his fifties and was about to retire. His job was over just like that. Who wouldn't feel bad?
What's more, in this era, jobs can be passed down to children like a throne.
Besides, you can just wait until you retire and earn money as a self-employed person while collecting your pension.
Master Ge is his die-hard fan, so Yunduan certainly can't let him be unhappy.
"Master Ge, aren't you curious why Qiu Sheng and I came back after leaving?"
Ge Changsheng had forgotten about this. Hearing Yunduan's question, he smiled and said, "Is there something you forgot to tell me?"
Yunduan said, "This sugar-making machine was made for the Huojia Village Production Brigade."
"The brigade is planning to build a sugar factory. We applied to the higher authorities a long time ago. They've also seen the design drawings of the sugar-making machinery I drew, and they've already approved it with your steel plant."
"Your factory leaders said they would actively cooperate!"
When Ge Changsheng heard this, he vaguely guessed a possibility and his eyes lit up again.
Sure enough, Yunduan said, "Your factory leaders promised to set up a special team to make sugar-making machines."
Master Ge was overjoyed, "Great! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
It frightened his old bones to pieces.
Yunduan said: "We just called to confirm and found out not long ago."
Master Ge said, "Hu Xingyan went to the factory leadership to complain, and now she's shooting herself in the foot."
At this moment, Hu Xingyan was indeed scolded by the factory leader in the office.
Also scolded was Hu Xingyan's uncle, Liu Hongbing.
But Liu Hongbing was thick-skinned. He waited until the factory leader finished scolding him, then said with a smile:
"Leader, you just said that you want to set up a special team to help the Huojia Village Production Brigade run a sugar factory and make the sugar-making machines they need."
"Or, let me be the team leader!"
