Chapter 104 Dad’s Job Is Done
"Then what did you say, Dad?" Wen Zhu was really curious.
Wen Hong didn't keep the conversation a secret and answered directly, "I suggested to Director Wu that we continue the mobile team leader system. It would improve everyone's enthusiasm. However, the gauze produced must be numbered. That way, if any quality problems are found, the responsibility can be directly traced to the individual.
Let's put up a wall of shame and let everyone see who did the work, who's responsible, and who's deducted money. The leader on duty that day will be held jointly responsible. That way, all the problems will be solved."
Jiang Jianye and Wen Zhu nodded repeatedly, their eyes sparkling, just like students being taught.
Only Jiang Qin looked worried.
"Dad, what if you're not active in the night shift and don't even want to work it?"
Wen Hong said, "I finally understood this after spending time talking to the female frontline workers. I took time out these past few days to talk to dozens of frontline workers who had worked the night shift. Only then did I discover the root cause: The older workers were unwilling to work the night shift, passing it on to the younger workers."
But here's the problem: young workers, especially women, get married and have children, which means they have to raise them. So working the night shift is not only exhausting, but it also means they can't take care of their children or their families. As a result, older workers don't want to work late, while younger workers want to take care of their families. So no one wants to do this anymore!
"What should we do? This is indeed a dilemma." Wen Zhu couldn't figure out what to do in this situation.
Wen Hong took a sip of water, calm and composed, "People always come up with solutions.
It's just about the kids and the late nights for equal pay. So, solve the childcare problem, then increase the lure of profit.
So, I told the factory manager that we could rotate night shifts, but workers on the night shift would get priority to send their children to the factory nursery. That was the first reason. Secondly, we could use any defective cloth produced during production as a bonus, distributing it to workers based on their night shift attendance. Night shift workers are in high demand right now."
Wen Zhu and Jiang Jianye looked at their father with admiration.
Jiang Qin still sighed and asked, "Then will you go back to work in the factory?"
Wen Hong smiled and said, "Of course, otherwise why would I be so busy for so long?"
Jiang Qin still expressed her concerns, "Those actions you've taken before are sure to offend a lot of people. Who will obey you when you return as workshop director? Aren't you just asking for trouble?"
Wen Zhu felt that what her mother said made sense. After all, if she had just offended someone, wouldn't she be waiting to be bullied if she went back?
In those punishment systems, the punished always have to find a place to vent their anger.
Wen Hong laughed and said, "Who said I'm going back to be a workshop director?"
Now it was Jiang Qin and the two children's turn to be confused. "What are you going to do when you go back? You can't go to the textile industry, right? You might as well set up a stall with me."
Wen Hong patted his wife's hand soothingly, "The factory director originally wanted to arrange for me to be the workshop director again, but the position was occupied by someone else and he refused to give it up.
But it just so happened that the sales manager was unable to work due to health reasons, and this position happened to be vacant. So, I want to be the sales manager."
"Dad, don't you feel wronged?" Wen Zhu was referring to the fact that his adopted brother might have taken over his original position. Would he feel sad?
Wen Hong was very calm, as if it was no longer a scar that could not be spoken of, but one that he admitted openly.
"Why should I be sad? One must always look forward." He then changed the subject and continued, "And, Xiaozhu, things are different now. The tickets and letters of introduction in Nancheng have been cancelled. Mr. Deng also gave a speech in Nancheng. The pilot program for the special economic zone has already begun. What does this mean?
This suggests that the times are about to change! Being a workshop director is a dead end, but as a sales manager, I have a lot of potential. People need to look forward, not be short-sighted and always focus on small gains. Otherwise, you won't get far.
The government has already allowed individuals to set up stalls, so who can predict how factories will change in the future? I'm afraid a new wave is coming. I have a feeling that the iron rice bowl may soon become a porcelain bowl.
After Wen Hong finished speaking, everyone was deeply moved.
"Dad, you're amazing!" Wen Zhu sincerely thought her father was amazing. After all, he had returned to the job he held over 20 years ago, and he actually did. Not only did he return, but he was also given a direct promotion.
What she admired most was her father's keen sense of smell. Just by listening to the radio, he could sensitively perceive policy changes and the development direction of the new era.
She knew times were changing because of the memories of another life. But before she could remind him, his father had already sensed the opportunity. That's truly admirable!
Jiang Jianye didn't understand. "They're all in the factory, so what's the difference?"
Jiang Qin also realized what was happening, breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled. "Sales Section Chief, that's to bring business to the factory, and it's like supporting the factory workers. This position has nothing to do with the production line, and not only that, you have to be supported by the production line.
The radio said that a paper mill in the north has been contracted out to individuals, and the land has also been contracted out to various companies. With this development, the sales manager will definitely be able to go far."
Jiang Jianye seemed to understand after hearing this. But whether he understood or not wasn't important. Since his mom and sister both said he was amazing, then his dad must be amazing.
Also learn to give a thumbs up.
The whole family is in high spirits.
Planning to have a snack in the evening.
Wen Zhu went to the clinic and invited his master to come over for dinner.
"You are such a busy man! The apprentice is even busier than the master." As he said that, he handed a piece of paper to Wen Zhu.
"Your medical license has been issued, but it's been gathering dust, and you haven't come to pick it up yet. It's pitiful for an old man like me. I want to take in an apprentice, but I can't even see him."
Wen Zhu came forward with a smile, "We're having mushroom hotpot and steamed chicken tonight. My mom also braised some pig offal. I know you like spicy food, so she stir-fried it with chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns. Do you want some?"
Every time Old Man Wen heard the name of a dish, his eyes lit up a little. Finally, he simply stopped serving it and urged Wen Zhu.
"Go, go, go, hurry up and go back to help. It's ridiculous to let your mother work alone. Children should have more eyes to work."
As he said this, he picked up two bottles of good wine and walked out first, walking briskly.
Wen Zhu hurried to catch up.
Before leaving, he said to Xiao Liu, a waiter in the store, "Brother Liu, you work hard running the store. I'll ask my third brother to bring you some food later, so you don't have to cook yourself."
Xiao Liu smiled instantly, "Thank you!"
After returning home, Wen Zhu went to the next yard and invited Qian Jingsheng, Qian Xusen and Xiao Huang to come for dinner.
"Oh oh oh, the missing people have returned." Qian Xusen was sitting in the yard doing his homework.
Wen Zhu looked at him and said, "When did I disappear? I just go out early and come back late. If you don't believe me, ask Brother Qian. I ran into him on the road when I came back late a few nights ago. But you hide in your shell like a turtle every day. You definitely can't see it!"
"You're the turtle!"
Wen Zhu quickly slipped away the moment he stood up.
I don't know what's wrong with this kid. He used to be a bit arrogant, but recently he always likes to quarrel with her. He chases her all over the yard when they disagree.
She has to slip away first.
As he ran, he said, "Brother Qian, come over for a midnight snack tonight! To celebrate my dad getting a job!"
Then, without waiting for Qian Xusen to run over, he had already returned to his yard.
