Not many days later.
One morning.
A group of buses stopped at the entrance of Chicheng Hydraulic Factory.
The top leader of Inner Mongolia Province got out of the car.
Frowning, he looked at the hydraulic factory with its gates tightly shut and felt a surge of displeasure.
Although I don't care about elaborate hospitality.
But there wasn't a single person to greet us!
I looked at my watch again; it was already 9:10.
It looks like the factory hasn't started operating yet?
The provincial leader said to his secretary, "You called ahead of time?"
The secretary, equally bewildered and sweating slightly, replied, "Boss, I called personally to inform them of my upcoming inspection today. Why isn't the main gate open?"
Minister Xu, who was accompanying them, said, "Old Li, it seems like Director Zhao doesn't treat you like a leader!"
The senior leader remained calm and said, "He's probably too busy. It's alright. We're not here to find fault; we're mainly here to learn."
What the top leader said was actually giving others a way out.
The group was originally going to Chishui County, Jiyang Province.
Go and see for yourself Wu Changfeng, the legendary figure who could drive islanders back three thousand miles and even offer to pay compensation to provide steel rolling technology.
However, the leaders of Chicheng County replied: Wu Changfeng is not here; he is visiting the Chicheng Hydraulic Factory. Please go there instead.
Upon learning of the outcome, the top leader initially intended to postpone his trip.
But Minister Xu called from here.
They invited me to the hydraulic factory to learn about their latest advancements.
After thinking it over, I decided to bring the team anyway.
Unexpectedly, there wasn't even anyone at the hydraulic factory to greet them!
The senior leader turned his head away and sent someone forward to knock on the door.
I knocked for ages.
A security guard opened the door a crack and shouted, "Screw you! It's not time for work yet!"
"Open the door!"
The gatekeeper glanced outside and was immediately terrified.
Anyone from outside can tell he has the demeanor of a leader!
Moreover, there was a row of perfectly aligned buses behind them – I'd never seen anything like it before!
He quickly opened the door and asked with a smile, "Where do you gentlemen work?"
When the high-ranking leader entered the factory, all was quiet.
He snorted, "What time is it? Still not at work?"
"We all start work at 10 a.m."
The secretary said strangely, "10 o'clock? Who made that rule?"
The security guard stammered, "Well, well, I don't know."
The top leader loosened his cuffs; this is what a factory with advanced management experience looks like.
The other factory leaders behind him almost burst out laughing.
The high-ranking leader said in a deep voice, "Call your factory manager, it's because a high-ranking leader from Inner Mongolia has arrived!"
The gatekeeper straightened up.
Holy crap!
How come such a high-ranking leader came and we didn't receive a message?
That shouldn't be the case.
Such trips by leaders always require prior notification to the relevant departments.
oops!
Did Director Zhao forget because he had too much to drink?
He hurriedly ran back into the house, grabbed the phone, and called Director Zhao's house.
After receiving the call, Director Zhao felt a chill run through his body.
A chaotic scene ensued.
Why didn't I receive the message!
That damn phone operator, I quit!
Suddenly I realized.
Factory Director Zhao slapped his thigh. Damn it, it seems this employee has come to him twice already.
I was drunk one time and didn't want to listen.
I was transferred to work in the workshop.
This is bad!
"Damn it, this employee is useless. Why can't he just say what he wants to say?"
"The big boss has arrived, and I didn't even go to greet him!"
"My first impression is ruined!"
Factory Director Zhao put on his clothes and rushed to the factory.
All the way, I was thinking about how to make up for the losses.
Also, what exactly is the purpose of the high-ranking leader's sudden visit?
The hydraulic plant hasn't had any particularly outstanding achievements lately.
I can't figure it out.
Inside the meeting room.
Factory Director Zhao, sweating profusely, said with a forced smile, "Our esteemed leader has come from afar; we apologize for any shortcomings in our hospitality."
Director Zhao knew that the higher the rank, the easier it was to talk to someone.
Some things can be said and then forgotten.
But if you know the truth in your heart but don't say it, then that's your own fault.
really.
The top leader didn't dwell on this too much.
Instead, he asked, "Director Zhao, now that the whole country is working together as one, we've heard that the hydraulic plant has advanced management experience. Let's get straight to the point and share it with the other factory leaders present."
Factory Director Zhao: ? ? ?
What is that?
Advanced management experience?
Has word of my poor management reached the ears of the top leaders?
I don't feel anything's wrong!
Are you kidding me?
Other factory leaders took out their notebooks, ready to study and take notes.
Factory Director Zhao now realized that everyone was serious.
Factory Director Zhao coughed and pondered for a moment.
Since none of us really understand management, let's just talk nonsense and fool people.
Even though there's not much substance to it, let's just get through this for now.
Then he punished himself by drinking three glasses at the dinner table to end the meal.
Factory Director Zhao said, "Regarding our factory's campaign to implement total quality management, improve product quality, and meet the needs of the Four Modernizations..."
Blah blah blah, a whole bunch of stuff.
Everyone was initially in high spirits.
But the more I listened, the more something seemed off.
What kind of garbage is this?!
Isn't it the same old thing?
How dare you claim to have advanced work experience with this?
Even junior apprentices know this management system, so why should we, Factory Director Zhao, waste our time learning it?
Holy crap.
Are you messing with us?
Everyone looked at each other, and discussed in hushed tones:
"What the hell? I told you I was going to Chishui County, what are you doing here!"
