Deputy Director Zhang saw this scene when he came in. The corners of his lips curled up, he raised his hand and said in a loud voice: "Director Gu is in trouble now, and now I will temporarily take Director Gu's position and manage his affairs.
I have learned about what happened in Xujia Village, and I have also seen the impact it has had on our factory.
I can understand everyone's reaction, even though it's a bit inhumane, but this is the situation we are in now.
We can’t let Xujia Village ruin the economic development of Yu County.”
When Director Ma saw Deputy Director Zhang coming, he became more confident: "Director Zhang is right, we are just sacrificing small things to protect the big ones."
"Director Ma, I am now ordering you to suspend the production in Xujia Village. The workers in Xujia Village will take a temporary break, and the resumption time will be discussed later." Deputy Director Zhang stood in the room with a dignified look on his face.
After all, he was a high-ranking official with great deterrent power, and everyone in the factory fell silent after hearing his words.
Director Sun was so angry that he was about to lose his temper when Deputy Director Zhang glared at him.
"Director Sun, you are now old enough to retire. You can just hand these small matters over to Director Ma."
"Director Sun, are you worried about my ability to do my job?" Director Ma asked with a wry smile.
Director Sun's face darkened as he watched Deputy Director Zhang and Director Ma singing the same tune, and he knew that he was being squeezed out.
It’s a pity for this factory. It’s the accumulation of so much hard work by him and Xiao Xu, and it’s hard to get to where it is today.
“Director Sun, since the organization has arranged for Director Ma to take over your position, you should let go of anything that happens.
You are getting old, and there are indeed too many things going on in the factory recently.
You should take a good rest at home recently. When the factory returns to normal, if you are still willing to come to the factory to make contributions, then come again." Deputy Director Zhang directly issued a suspension order.
Director Sun nodded expressionlessly, returned to his seat and started packing.
Deputy Director Zhang and Director Ma left without looking back.
Deputy Director Yang stood aside with his chest heaving with anger: "Deputy Director Zhang is obviously deliberately supporting Director Ma.
It's a pity that Director Gu is such a good person. How could he do such corruption and bribery?
Director Sun, now that you are gone, I am left alone.
Director Ma is really hard to get along with, otherwise I can go with you."
As soon as Deputy Director Yang said this, Director Sun's face changed immediately: "If you leave, I'm afraid that the factory will really become Deputy Director Zhang's world, and our hard work in the past two years will be in vain."
Deputy Director Yang complained: "Why should I stay if I don't leave? Director Ma might make a move on me next.
Deputy Director Zhang is quite ambitious. Director Gu’s accident is most likely related to him.”
"Don't say that." Director Sun gave Deputy Director Yang a warning look.
He didn't have much stuff to begin with, so he packed it up quickly.
When Director Sun was leaving the factory with the things in his arms, many old employees in the factory saw him and expressed regret: "What is going on?"
"If our factory were to draw a line between itself and Minister Xu, I think this business would be over."
"That's right. Without Xiao Xu to help us develop products, our factory wouldn't be as prosperous as it is now."
Several old employees gathered together and whispered.
Director Ma and Deputy Director Zhang happened to pass by and sneered when they heard what they said.
"Stop talking." One of the women immediately reminded the others when she saw Director Ma.
These people were all angry and said, "Why can't we say it? It was so much better when Minister Xu was here.
The current factory director Ma says that he is wholeheartedly contributing to the development of the factory, but he is still exploiting and oppressing us ordinary people.
I think it's exactly the same as the capitalists before." The woman said angrily.
Her body can no longer take it from working overtime every day these days, and her granddaughter is sick again, so the family is in a mess.
"Sister, it seems that I, as the factory manager, have not been able to satisfy you.
If you are so dissatisfied, why are you still working here? If you don't want to do it, just quit. There are plenty of people willing to do this job.
Don't be so ungrateful." Director Ma said with a gloomy face.
When the old woman heard the voice, she was so frightened that her body went limp. She turned around and saw Director Ma standing behind her. Her heart was pounding.
"Ma, Director Ma."
"Why don't you say anything? I see that you seem to have a lot of dissatisfaction with the factory. Why don't you continue talking?" Director Ma said carelessly while standing there.
The old woman was extremely panicked at this moment. Under the gaze of Director Ma, she turned pale and fainted.
Deputy Director Zhang looked at Director Ma and said sternly, "I think there are still many people in the factory who don't obey discipline.
You should hold a meeting properly. If people don't listen, they will be fired. Several factories outside are still waiting for orders from our factory. If people here resign, they will be fired.
We just have a reason to divide the orders up for processing." Deputy Director Zhang said earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Director Ma nodded and immediately convened a production meeting for all factory leaders.
A new official has three things to start with when he takes office, and this flame must burn brightly enough.
After the cadres from the major factories arrived, Director Ma directly threatened to show his power: "You have also heard about the poisoning of the vegetable greenhouse in Xujia Village. Now the village chief of Xujia Village has neglected management, which has led to such a major incident.
He is still detained by the Public Security Bureau. Director Gu is also being investigated for corruption and bribery. Now our factory is also deeply affected.
Our factory is located in Xujia Village, so this matter has a huge impact on us.
Many partners are afraid that the products in our factory are not up to standard and poisoning may occur.
Now our factory will terminate the cooperative relationship with the factory in Xujia Village."
"Director Sun is old and it's time for him to retire. I will be taking over his position now. As for Director Xu, her father did something like that, so the factory is definitely keeping an eye on her. She has also been suspended from work and is recuperating at home.
Our factory will also cancel the commission system in the future. Overtime pay will of course be given, but if I hear you expressing dissatisfaction with the factory again, you can just pack up and leave.
Our state-owned factories don’t lack people at all. There are so many educated youth returning to the city this year, and there are so many people looking for jobs. We don’t need to worry about people like you.”
After Director Ma finished speaking, he directly pulled the old woman out, educated her, and directly fired her.
This operation scared the employees in the factory and made them behave themselves.
Director Ma was very satisfied with the effect.
Secretary Zhang, as Director Sun's old secretary, was directly assigned to Deputy Director Yang, while Director Ma personally selected an old secretary for himself.
Secretary Zhang was thankful that he did not follow Director Ma. He took a deep breath and went to find Deputy Director Yang after the meeting. “Deputy Director Yang, it’s a good thing I was not left under Director Ma. Otherwise, my future would be difficult.”
Upon hearing this, Deputy Factory Director Yang smiled bitterly, looked at him and said, "It's not just you who is in trouble now, it's also difficult for me. From now on, we will be brothers in distress."
