Factory Director Liu was furious, and a surge of anger was welling up inside him. Although the hunting team was a temporary department, it was very important to the entire steel rolling mill.
Without hunting teams bringing in meat, the factory's small canteen couldn't be set up, even though the country is now importing grain from abroad, which has slightly improved the situation across the country.
However, they are still in a state of food and clothing shortage.
Therefore, if a small canteen cannot be established, it will be difficult to attract orders.
Without orders, things will return to the previous situation of working a few days and then resting for one day.
Secondly, because the hunting team had a huge harvest, the factory would usually provide the workers with meat every two days, which greatly enhanced the workers' sense of cohesion and honor.
Every time he went to a meeting at the ministry, which of the other factory directors didn't envy him, Liu?
Moreover, because there were many prey hunted, the steel mill also shared a lot of prey with the ministry and other departments. During this period, the ministry and other units took care of the steel mill to some extent.
In those difficult times, while other factories struggled to survive, the steel rolling mill thrived. That was an achievement, that was capability.
Even the top leader subtly hinted to him that once this period was over, his position could be reassigned!
Such a great situation, and now someone actually wants to ruin it.
How could he not be angry?
At the same time, he also complained to Gao Yan, "The logistics department is making things difficult for you. Can't you come to me to complain?"
She just has to throw a tantrum!
But he couldn't really blame Gao Yan, since the logistics department had canceled the reward for no reason.
Besides, he had some understanding of Gao Yan's personality.
I have absolutely no interest in becoming an official.
If you really anger someone and they quit, who will they complain to?
After all, with Gao Yan's hunting skills, he could probably live a much more comfortable life even if he didn't work at the steel mill.
After all, you can easily live comfortably for a few months by simply hunting and selling a wild boar.
"My head hurts!"
Factory Director Liu rubbed his temples, pondering how to deal with the head of the logistics department.
Rest the next day.
Gao Yan did not go to the steel rolling mill.
Factory Director Liu then convened a meeting with all the leaders.
Before the meeting, he had already communicated with Secretary Chen and several other deputy factory directors. However, Ou Dapeng was excluded because the logistics department was Ou Dapeng's superior department.
Who knows if Ou Dapeng was involved in this mess?
Factory Director Liu did not immediately launch an attack. Instead, he first addressed issues related to production and safety at the factory.
Then, looking at Liu Dashi of the Logistics Department, he asked, "Director Liu, although we value thrift, we can't be stingy when entertaining important clients. After all, it concerns the food supply for tens of thousands of people in our steel rolling mill. Don't you agree?"
"Yes, Factory Manager, you're right!"
Liu Dashi hurriedly replied.
"Since you agree with what I said, why did the logistics department only provide such a small amount of food during last night's reception?" Director Liu questioned sternly.
Liu Dashi's expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously looked at Ou Dapeng.
But Ou Dapeng looked completely indifferent, as if the matter had nothing to do with him. In reality, however, Ou Dapeng was also in turmoil, pondering how to deal with it!
Seeing that Ou Dapeng ignored him, Liu Dashi could only bite the bullet and say, "Factory Director, you can't blame our logistics department for this. The hunting team has had no success in three consecutive hunts, and the supplies we had accumulated were taken away by the higher authorities. There's nothing we can do about it!"
"This doesn't make sense. Since the hunting team was formed, we haven't brought back enough prey on any hunt. Why haven't we had any success on the last three hunts?"
At this moment, Xu Dali interjected, "I seem to have heard that your logistics department deliberately made things difficult for the hunting team by withholding their reward. The hunting team's reward was the result of unanimous discussion among our factory leaders. If Director Liu is dissatisfied, he can raise his concerns with the factory director. Why resort to such petty tricks!"
Although Xu Dali was born into a military family, he was quite eloquent, and his words left Liu Dashi speechless.
"Bang!"
Factory Director Liu slammed his hand on the desk angrily and demanded in a stern voice, "Liu Dashi, is this true or not?"
"I...I!"
Liu Dashi was at a loss for words.
At this moment, Ou Dapeng slowly spoke up: "Director Liu, let me say a few words."
"Deputy Factory Director Ou, please speak!"
Factory Director Liu suppressed his anger and said calmly.
Ou Dapeng continued, "Secretary Chen, Director Liu, I was only recently transferred to our steel rolling mill and I don't know much about what's going on in our factory. The logistics department is my supervisor, and I was quite surprised when I found out about the rewards the logistics department gave to the hunting team, because the rewards were really too much."
I was worried about making a mistake, so I asked the logistics department to suspend the distribution of the day's rewards. Once we figured things out, if the hunting team really deserved that many rewards, then we could distribute them later.
But to my utter surprise, Comrade Gao Weiguo actually got into a tantrum with me and started slacking off during the hunt…!
Upon hearing this, both Director Liu and Xu Dali's expressions changed. This Ou Dapeng was so cunning; in just a few words, he not only absolved himself of all responsibility but also pinned the blame on Gao Yan for being passive and negligent in his work.
Xu Dali, being protective of his own, couldn't help but say, "Deputy Factory Director Ou, you're being a bit harsh. Hunting is full of uncertainties."
Especially in this weather, hunting is even more difficult. You can't just accuse the hunting team of being lazy and unproductive because they haven't caught much game these past few days, can you?
