Chapter 208 A Gentleman Uses Words, Not Actions
Qian Songmao also took over at this time:
"Why didn't you say anything? Why didn't you refute me? Where's that arrogance you used to bully the elderly, the weak, women, and children yesterday? Show us how the Housing Management Department treats the families of factory employees! You scared my mom so much that she fell ill and she's in the hospital now! Tell us what we should do!"
When Director Lin heard this, he was extremely surprised and slammed the table again: "Nonsense!"
Section Chief Zhao remained silent until he walked over to Director Lin and whispered:
"Director, we've just heard about it. I'll take them to the hospital to visit the old lady in a moment."
"Look at the people you've brought with you! If you can't do this job, step aside and let someone who can do it!"
Director Lin’s words were extremely harsh.
Section Chief Zhao frowned and glared at Li Mingwei and Feng Xinglong, then explained:
"Director, comrades, this is my problem. Our original intention is definitely not to take back the houses. We just want to understand the housing situation of these employees on unpaid leave."
"Why?" Huang Ling asked, "Please explain to us why the factory cares about us. Why don't you care about whether we have enough to eat, but only care about our housing?"
"this......"
Before Section Chief Zhao could figure out how to respond, he was interrupted.
"Is this the business of your Housing Management Department? It must be the business of the trade union! Otherwise, I will give the position of trade union director to Section Chief Zhao!" Director Lan of the trade union walked in.
Section Chief Zhao was so bullied that he dared not say anything and just kept apologizing.
The two educated youth who returned to the city looked at each other, but no one came forward to take responsibility.
"Director Lan, on behalf of the factory, you go visit Xiao Qian's mother. I think she probably doesn't want to see anyone from the Housing Management Department. Let her rest assured that the house will definitely not be reclaimed." Director Lin assigned a task to Director Lan.
"Okay." Director Lan agreed.
"Go back! Stay here and wait for me to treat you to lunch!" Director Lin yelled at the three people from the Housing Management Department.
The three of them left in disgrace.
Back in the Housing Management Office, everyone heard Section Chief Zhao's roar:
"I've seen stupid people, but I've never seen anyone as stupid as you. You almost got me killed! So self-righteous! So self-righteous! What? You're so eager to make a name for yourself? Come on, come on, you're so capable, I'll give you my position!"
"You think you're still in the village, working harder and getting more work points, right? This isn't your little collective, it's a big factory! Think carefully about what you should and shouldn't do!"
Section Chief Zhao cursed until his voice was hoarse, then came out and held another meeting for the department, emphasizing that if there were any more reports related to the factory's real estate, they must be submitted to him in writing, and he would arrange for someone to go to the site for inspection.
It was not just him, the section chief, who had a headache. Many factory leaders had the same experience as him. These comrades lacked work experience and skills, but were still arrogant. Most of them were able to enter the factory smoothly because they had some connections, which gave them a headache.
As Huang Ling walked out of the office building, she saw Song Ying sticking her head out from behind a tree to look.
As soon as she saw Huang Ling coming out, she immediately came over to greet her.
"Why are you here too?" Huang Ling asked curiously.
"I'm here to help!"
"Then where were you helping behind this tree?"
"Don't mention it. I was just hanging around the factory director's office and was 'asked' to leave." Song Ying looked dissatisfied.
Huang Ling smiled and asked: "So will you continue to work or come back to the garment factory with me?"
"I've taken my leave and am back at the garment factory."
The two of them took the bus back to the garment factory hand in hand.
After getting off the bus, there was no one around, so Song Ying asked her:
"How do you know it wasn't the factory's idea? I heard they haven't built dormitories in a long time, and they don't have any plans for it this year. I was also worried yesterday that it was the factory's idea!"
"How can we repair the house without money? There's an imbalance between production and sales right now. Look at how much goods are piled up in the warehouse."
"Yeah, that's true. If it can be cheaper, we can sell more. But the price is fixed and can't be changed." Song Ying looked worried.
"If I were a timid person, I might just let them take it, but luckily I'm not. But since someone has this intention, I have no choice but to make a big fuss. Let these people who are on unpaid leave know about it, then they won't dare to move, at least not for a short time." Huang Ling said calmly.
"If this continues, I wonder if the policy will change..."
"As far as I know, no." Huang Ling was confident about this. In the drama, they got the property certificate later.
But in the drama, it was Song Ying who was on unpaid leave, not Huang Ling.
Song Ying sighed beside her.
"Why are you still frowning? I'm not without a house, so why are you worrying? Besides, I have money! I can buy more. Even if I have to take care of your family and Yiming's family, it's not a problem, you know? There's no need to be sad, smile for me!"
Huang Ling stretched out two fingers and bit Song Ying's mouth.
"Hey, a gentleman uses his mouth, not his fists!"
Huang Ling thought about it and nodded: "Then I am definitely a gentleman."
"You...you!" Song Ying looked disgusted.
"If all the houses in our alley are gone, we can renovate the Zhou family yard into a courtyard house so that we can live together," Huang Ling suggested.
"How unlucky Director Zhou is."
"Hahahaha! A little bit."
In the cool autumn breeze, the two of them laughed together, and Song Ying finally got rid of the gloom and became cheerful.
------
The factory was running non-stop, so busy that Huang Ling was a little scared.
People in this era are really hardworking and domineering. As long as there is work, there will be people to do it.
As the year draws to a close, the orders pile up so much that the sewing machine is about to start smoking.
Everyone wants to have a prosperous New Year, so they rush to work overtime on Sundays.
On weekends, Huang Ling and her family come to work together.
She and Zhou Huailan were going to work in the garment factory. Xiaoting couldn't stay at home alone, so she came to the factory to do her homework. Zhou Huaiyi couldn't stay at home, so he followed her. He couldn't be idle either, so the job of repairing the machines was given to him without any salary.
He is now a skilled mechanic in a garment factory.
Early on Sunday morning, Tunan and Pengfei came to the factory to see Huang Ling.
There was a boy with them. Huang Ling felt that he looked familiar, so she listened to Tunan introduce him: "Mom, this is my classmate Xie Zheyu."
"Oh, I remember now, classmate Xie, we have met once." Huang Ling remembered that it was he who came to look for the Wu family when Wu Shanshan fainted.
"We met on the road, and Zheyu said he wanted to come for a visit, so I brought him here," Tuanan introduced.
"Okay! Welcome." Huang Ling said generously.
"Thank you, Auntie!" Xie Zheyu hurriedly thanked her.
Tunan instructed him: "Don't disturb the women working, and try not to touch the machines, as they are dangerous."
"Okay!" Xie Zheyu agreed readily.
Pengfei had work in his eyes and had already started helping his aunt clean up the rags.
The aunt pulled the bag open, and Pengfei put the rags into the bag with both hands. It was obvious that this was not the first time he did this job.
Tunan took Xie Zheyu to visit.
