"Alright then, but we need to be quick, because those employees will be coming to cause you trouble soon."
Liu Qianqian gave her instructions, and Zhao Nianmeng nodded before returning to her desk and sitting down.
Her expression was calm, but her mind was racing, trying to figure out how to deal with the situation.
Such rumors suddenly spread in the factory; someone must be making a big fuss about it.
Just as Liu Qianqian said, they were having a perfectly fine meal when this suddenly happened.
That's definitely not normal.
With this in mind, Zhao Nianmeng already had a solution in mind.
Looking up at Liu Qianqian beside her, whose face was full of worry, Zhao Nianmeng smiled faintly.
"Qianqian, thank you for helping me so much. Although I don't want to tell everyone about this so soon, since everyone has come to me with this, I've decided to wait until everyone arrives and then tell you all about the reform of state-owned enterprises."
Liu Qianqian blinked, then looked at Zhao Nianmeng's confident expression and subconsciously asked a question.
"Sister Mengmeng, what exactly is your solution? We still don't know how to proceed with the reform of state-owned enterprises. If there really is no layoff, then what is the solution?"
Zhao Nianmeng calmly replied, "Don't worry, this reform plan for state-owned enterprises is very beneficial to everyone. Only by telling you all the details today can you dispel your doubts and stop being as angry as you were just now."
After a pause, Zhao Nianmeng seemed to have thought of something, shook her head, and her expression turned rather unpleasant.
"Although we don't know who is stirring up trouble, it's clear that this person doesn't want the reform of state-owned enterprises to succeed."
Liu Qianqian agreed wholeheartedly and nodded, adding a comment.
"Moreover, he also wants to use this opportunity to force you to reveal all the details of the reform to everyone in advance."
"That's right."
After Zhao Nianmeng finished speaking, she stood up from her seat, walked slowly to the office door, and opened it.
“I think everyone should be arriving soon. Since they’re all so curious, I’ll tell them all about it.”
When Zhao Nianmeng said this, there was a hint of helplessness on her face.
"Actually, I didn't want to either. After all, I was afraid something might go wrong before the outcome was clear. But since everyone is so eager to know, I might as well tell them in advance."
Although that's what she said, Zhao Nianmeng felt a little strange.
Previously, she had also held meetings with the factory's senior management. At least most of the factory's leaders and workers knew about the reform of state-owned enterprises.
If that's the case, why did these high-ranking officials, who were in the know, allow the disturbance to continue during lunch today and let it go unchecked?
Despite her doubts, Zhao Nianmeng knew that she would have to explain everything clearly in front of everyone later.
If this matter isn't explained clearly, it will definitely cause even greater unrest and impact on the factory.
Just as she was thinking this, a series of noisy sounds came from not far away, growing louder as they approached, causing Zhao Nianmeng to frown.
However, she also knew that these must be factory employees coming to demand an explanation from her.
Although she had prepared herself mentally, Zhao Nianmeng was still a little uneasy, fearing that the workers might get too excited.
Before long, a group of workers arrived at the office door, making a lot of noise.
However, when they saw that Zhao Nianmeng was already standing at the office door, looking very calm, everyone was stunned.
What, what's going on here?
Factory Director Zhao seemed to have been waiting for them there on purpose. Could it be that she already knew they were coming to demand an explanation from her?
However, it was just a fleeting thought, and soon someone took the initiative to speak up.
"Director Zhao, I heard that the main aspect of this state-owned enterprise reform is layoffs. We just want to ask you, is this true or false?"
"Yes, we've been working in the factory for a long time. If you suddenly say you're going to lay off people, we'll really have to go into business. Without our jobs, what will our whole families eat?"
Everyone was arguing and saying all sorts of things.
Zhao Nianmeng was having a terrible headache listening to this, and was about to signal everyone to quiet down when...
Lin Jiafu ran over from not far away.
He ran up to Zhao Nianmeng, panting, and after catching his breath, he spoke with a worried and anxious expression.
"Director Zhao, I've heard people say that this reform of state-owned enterprises involves layoffs. Is that really true?"
After saying that, Lin Jiafu didn't wait for Zhao Nianmeng to speak, and said worriedly again, "I think everyone's guesses are unfounded. Director Zhao, you've been so good to everyone, how could you possibly use layoffs to deal with the reform of state-owned enterprises?"
Lin Jiafu's words were like adding fuel to the fire. It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because once he did, the factory workers behind him became agitated.
"Director Zhao has been worried about state-owned enterprises for so long. If it's for the good of the factory, he will definitely lay off employees. What else is there to say!"
"That's right, Team Leader Lin, stop making excuses for Factory Director Zhao!"
"We've all been long-time employees at the factory. If it's just for the factory's benefit, we'll accept it. But the compensation has to be right. We absolutely disagree with that!"
"That's right, that's what we all think too!"
Everyone voiced their opinions, and the scene became increasingly chaotic as they chimed in.
Zhao Nianmeng felt helpless. She glanced at Lin Jiafu, whose face was full of worry, and had no choice but to clear her throat and speak loudly.
"Everyone, please don't worry, let me finish what I have to say."
As soon as Zhao Nianmeng spoke, everyone fell silent, and all eyes turned to her.
As for Lin Jiafu, he appeared worried on the surface, but in reality, he wanted to know more than anyone else what the contents of this state-owned enterprise reform were.
"I know everyone is worried about being laid off. This reform of state-owned enterprises is something that everyone is concerned about."
"However, I hope everyone can rest assured, because you are all long-time employees of the factory. If you are really worried, I can assure you here!"
As Zhao Nianmeng spoke, her voice suddenly grew louder, and she spoke each word clearly and forcefully.
