"No matter when or where, our Hongxing Steel Plant will never reform a state-owned enterprise by laying off employees. Everyone can always remember this. If I violate this rule, I am willing to resign from my position as the director of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill!"
As soon as she said that, all the employees looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
Everyone looked hesitant and uncertain, but Zhao Nianmeng's expression was so firm that for a moment everyone felt that she wasn't lying.
"With the help of our factory manager Zhao, the factory is getting better and better every day."
Just then, Liu Qianqian stepped forward and said, "Everyone has seen how hard Director Zhao works every day. He works overtime until late at night every day for the reform of state-owned enterprises, all so that the factory can get better and better. He hopes that everyone can have a good career development without layoffs!"
"Therefore, I think everyone should still trust Director Zhao. Director Zhao has led our entire factory for so many years. Are you not even willing to give her this much trust?"
Everyone fell silent after what he said, and some of the older employees even looked a little guilty.
Yes, Director Zhao has been extremely busy lately, barely having time to breathe.
During this time, they also witnessed how busy Director Zhao had been.
However, due to some rumors that came from who-knows-where, everyone thought that Director Zhao would definitely lay off employees, and thus dismiss all of them, the long-term employees.
Everyone fell silent, and the scene became extremely quiet for a moment.
As for Lin Jiafu, he didn't get the answer he wanted, and his eyes darted around slightly.
Although his face still showed concern for Zhao Nianmeng, he was the first to speak at this moment.
"Director Zhao, we didn't mean anything by it. It's just that we workers are naturally a little worried."
"Don't overthink it. If you really have any ideas about the reform of state-owned enterprises, you might as well tell us all directly."
"There are many of us, so we can help each other come up with a solution!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Nianmeng was initially touched by Lin Jiafu's concern for her.
At that moment, she subconsciously glanced at Lin Jiafu.
A fleeting look of inquiry crossed Zhao Nianmeng's eyes. After looking away, she smiled faintly at the workers in front of her.
"Don't worry, everyone. It's not that I'm unwilling to tell you the details, but rather that my superiors have instructed me not to disclose this information to you for the time being."
"However, everyone can rest assured that I will absolutely not lay off any employees. More importantly, after this reform of state-owned enterprises, everyone's benefits will only increase further, which will definitely satisfy everyone!"
With Zhao Nianmeng's words, and considering that these workers were all long-time employees of the factory,
Since they wouldn't be laid off and would even receive better benefits, everyone was curious but didn't make things difficult for Zhao Nianmeng.
"That's wonderful!"
The workers beamed with joy, letting out a sigh of relief, and were no longer as aggressive as before.
"Director Zhao, we all know you're a good person. I'm really sorry about what happened earlier. I didn't mean anything by it, but the layoffs are something that's really worrying us all!"
"Yes, now that you've put this matter directly to us, we're all relieved and will never ask any more questions in the future!"
"That's right, that's right! Whenever Director Zhao says that restructuring is going to take place, we will all cooperate fully! We will do whatever you tell us to do!"
"..."
Seeing that everyone had put aside their suspicions and were all smiles, Zhao Nianmeng, having resolved the crisis, couldn't help but smile faintly as well, reassuring everyone.
"Please rest assured, I will definitely inform everyone as soon as the reform of state-owned enterprises begins!"
"Moreover, the benefits this time are particularly good. Every worker in our factory will receive a higher wage. As the factory manager, I, Zhao Nianmeng, assure you all that if I have said a single lie today, you can report me to the higher-ups at any time!"
Now that things have come to this point, everyone has witnessed everything Zhao Nianmeng has done at the factory over the years.
Therefore, no one voiced any objection; instead, they all encouraged Zhao Nianmeng.
As for Lin Jiafu, his smile froze for a moment. He hadn't expected that not only had he not heard any hints, but Zhao Nianmeng had also easily resolved the crisis.
He was about to say something when he met Zhao Nianmeng's gaze.
The woman's face still held a calm and gentle smile, no different from usual.
But in Lin Jiafu's eyes, it always seemed to have some other meaning behind it.
A faint sense of crisis subconsciously rose in his heart, but he quickly put on a relaxed smile.
"Director Zhao, as long as it's for everyone's good, none of us have any problems. Thank you for your hard work this time. I'm really sorry I didn't stop everyone!"
Normally, Zhao Nianmeng would only feel a slight stirring in her heart.
However, considering what Lin Jiafu had just said, although Zhao Nianmeng was unwilling to doubt Lin Jiafu, she still felt that there was a knot in her heart that was slowly growing between the two of them.
Zhao Nianmeng smiled unconsciously, but she no longer trusted Lin Jiafu as much as before.
It seems my younger brother was right; some things are truly impossible to discover without careful observation.
Take Lin Jiafu for example.
He appears harmless on the surface, but the things he said today, though seemingly speaking for her, were actually inciting the workers to make a scene.
If her younger brother hadn't reminded her beforehand, she really wouldn't have noticed this.
Having thought of this, Zhao Nianmeng had a plan in mind and smiled faintly at Lin Jiafu.
"Team Leader Lin, thank you for your concern. Actually, this is something everyone is worried about. It's understandable that you're so anxious. I understand everyone."
"Now that we've said everything that needs to be said, I believe everyone can understand me. Team Leader Lin, I don't know if you've eaten yet. If you have, I have some work-related matters to discuss with you. Is that convenient for you?"
