After saying goodbye to Director Wang, Ma Hua took the documents in his hand and walked to the door of the broadcasting room.
"Knock knock knock." Ma Hua stood still and politely knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
As soon as Ma Hua entered the room, he saw Yu Haitang sitting and chatting with a strange man.
When Yu Haitang saw that it was Ma Hua who had entered, she said with a somewhat unfriendly expression, "The broadcasting room is a restricted area; unauthorized personnel are not allowed. If you have nothing else to say, please leave now!"
Seeing Yu Haitang's disgusted expression, Ma Hua's face also darkened: "Where's Director Zhou from your broadcasting room? Didn't he receive the notice from the factory leaders?!"
Yu Haitang then realized that Director Zhou had just told her that Ma Hua from the sixth canteen would be coming to the broadcasting room to give a self-criticism.
Then Yu Haitang remembered what Yang Weimin had told her: Ma Hua had already offended Factory Director Yang.
He was extremely pleased to be demoted to a branch factory. Pshaw!
What is Ma Hua anyway? I must have been blind to even consider getting to know him. Ugh, what a jerk.
Thinking of this, Yu Haitang's expression turned unfriendly, and she said in a somewhat cold tone, "The microphone is over there."
Just press the switch next to it and it will work. Don't mess with it, or you won't be able to afford to pay for it if you break it.
Ma Hua glanced coldly at Yu Haitang but remained silent. It would be beneath him to bother with someone like that.
People like Yu Haitang who curry favor with the powerful will face their own retribution.
Instead, he calmly sat down in front of the microphone and turned it on.
Ma Hua tapped the microphone lightly a few times, then coughed twice.
Only after confirming that the sound could be transmitted did he begin his performance.
"Good afternoon, comrades and leaders of the steel rolling mill. I am Ma Hua from the sixth workshop of the steel rolling mill."
I apologize for taking up a little of your time; this is my written apology.
"I, MCA, have failed the country's nurturing and the factory leaders' concern."
I shouldn't have asked the machine repair shop manager for leave during my work hours to go back to our factory to collect my wages when I was being assigned there.
MCA shouldn't have been so selfish. Secretary Zhang's lesson is correct; MCA did indeed make a mistake.
Even if my family is starving and we're waiting for this salary to tide us over, I can't go back to the factory to collect it without permission.
Secretary Zhang's lesson was that this matter was extremely serious in nature and would have severe consequences.
As a worker in our factory, I shouldn't have been so selfish and greedy, and I shouldn't have only focused on those petty gains. I forgot the teachings of my superiors.
I'm sorry, there was a big problem with my thinking. Only after Secretary Zhang's careful guidance did I understand.
I was so sorry, I didn't realize MCA was so important to our factory. I genuinely didn't know at first.
My taking leave as a cook would affect the development of the entire factory and hinder social progress.
I'm sorry, I was wrong. Secretary Zhang is right. MCA has committed heinous crimes.
The lesson taught by Director Yang's secretary is that I, Ma Hua, have already realized my mistake.
Even though I took leave, that's still leaving my post, and that shouldn't have happened.
People shouldn't be so selfish; we should wholeheartedly contribute to the factory's development.
MCA is truly guilty. Hereby, in front of all the factory workers, MCA sincerely apologizes and admits its mistakes. We are sorry.
It was MCA that made a mistake.
Director Yang is right. Even if I starve to death, I cannot hinder the development of our factory.
Please supervise me from now on, comrades. I will definitely learn from this lesson and actively correct my mistakes.
By the way, I would also like to thank our beloved Factory Director Yang. You are truly a good leader who loves your work.
Under your leadership, I believe our factory will definitely grow bigger and stronger, and achieve even greater success.
Just moments before, Yu Haitang had been arrogant, but as she listened to Ma Hua's letter of self-criticism, her expression gradually shifted from arrogance to disdain, then to shock and fear.
This isn't a self-criticism; it's clearly a challenge to the factory leaders.
Yu Haitang and the man next to her exchanged a glance, both with indescribable expressions on their faces.
Ma Hua is really getting bold; he's blatantly trying to undermine Director Yang.
The people in the workshop were in an uproar. Those who understood the situation frowned, while those who didn't were filled with anger.
They all heard it just now: MCA asked for leave to come back and collect his salary.
Why not? Ah, they're starving, why can't they?
Your relative could be given a leisurely job, like knitting sweaters and chatting, while Ma Hua could be a cook when the family runs out of money for food.
He just asked for leave to go back to the factory to collect his wages, and you actually called him a heinous criminal and accused him of desertion.
These days, who doesn't skip work? Who doesn't slack off?
Are we, the working class, still the masters of the factory? Plus, Li Huaide had already arranged for someone to stir up trouble beforehand.
The number of workers and management within the steel rolling mill who were dissatisfied with Director Yang was growing rapidly.
They believe the punishment for MCA is far too severe; now it's MCA's turn to...
What if it's me next time? Once a person develops empathy, it's like they're wearing a filter.
Moreover, in the past few months, Director Yang's relatives, along with Sha Zhu and others, have been relying on Director Yang as their backer within the factory.
He did a lot of unpopular and petty things at the factory. Everyone had been patiently enduring it. Little by little, it added up.
The workers nowadays are like a barrel of gunpowder. They just need that one spark to ignite it.
After reading the self-criticism in his hand, Ma Hua sneered inwardly, "Director Yang, huh?"
Director Yang, I think you're not far from your downfall.
MCA didn't want to be a tool in Lee Huai-te's hands, but they had no choice; they were already on the wrong path.
If the pledge of loyalty isn't enough, they'll be discarded as cannon fodder.
Being demoted to a machine repair shop is an example.
The last time Liu Feng treated everyone to a meal, it was Li Huaide's final test of him.
If Director Wang hadn't told me beforehand, I could have done anything at the machine repair shop.
The only thing I couldn't do was cook, especially not prepare special meals for others. That's how I barely managed to avoid it.
Hopefully Li Huaide will be satisfied this time. Otherwise, your ship will be no different from Director Yang's. It's my fault for being ruthless and sinking it.
MCA doesn't want to take this step unless absolutely necessary; sometimes the unknown is the most terrifying thing.
At this moment, Li Huaide was in his office, leisurely sipping his tea, and shook his head.
Old Yang, Old Yang, let's see how long you can hold on.
Li Huaide knew in his heart that he and Factory Director Yang were just pawns in a power struggle with those above them.
The higher-ups value a balance between the two sides, allowing them to compete as long as it doesn't harm the factory's interests.
However, Li Huaide didn't dare to directly oust Factory Director Yang.
If they were forced to step down now, that would be a real loss.
Who knows who might come and reap the benefits? I need to be patient; I need to endure for a while longer.
Moreover, Li Huaide himself isn't exactly clean, and he's afraid that Lao Yang might retaliate and bite him in the end.
It's better to cut meat with a dull knife, little by little, that's much safer.
Now MCA is the knife in its own hand, and looking at it now, it's not bad, not bad at all.
No rush. No rush, if the roots are gone, the tree is not far from dying.
If my father-in-law and his group succeed in their plans, then I... hehehehe...
