That's right. But when Su Yu got home that night, she called Liu Mei over to explain things.
The steel plant where Liu Mei worked was quite close to the machinery factory, so Su Yu assigned her an important task.
"Just find out what he does usually do, who he associates with, and especially which female comrade he associates with. Just don't let anyone know you're doing this on purpose. If you get the information right, I'll give you a reward."
Upon hearing about the reward, Liu Mei's eyes lit up immediately. "Sister, I'll take care of this. I'll definitely do a good job."
Su Yu nodded, "Of course I believe in your work ability. That's why I only arranged for you to go, because you're the most capable. In the future, I'll have to hand over this family to you eventually. Now I'll see just how capable you really are."
Liu Mei was filled with excitement. If she were in charge of the family in the future, she would definitely punish Su Dazhi, that heartless bastard, properly!
Having handed over the task, Su Yu stopped worrying about it. In her mind, nothing was more important than her career; other matters weren't worth her time and energy.
Recently, Officer Lin has taken over his duties, replacing Su Yu and visiting workshops to collect materials. Su Yu's workload has suddenly decreased, so she has begun planning new projects.
As an important member of the union, I certainly can't let myself be idle.
After spending three days, Su Yu quickly devised another activity—a knowledge and skills competition.
This kind of activity became quite common in the following years. However, it's still a rare occurrence now.
In this era where workers toil overtime, single-mindedly focused on construction, their leisure time is scarce. Even a ping-pong tournament is held only once a year. How much more so the knowledge and skills competition Su Yu is organizing, which she plans to hold monthly.
"Won't this interfere with the workers' work?" Committee Member Hu asked worriedly.
"Committee Member Hu, you can use your rest time to come to the school, and this is precisely to improve the workers' work efficiency. Think about it, right now our factory workers are paid according to their working hours. There's no skill competition involved; everyone works the same amount of time, so the workers don't feel as pressured. As the saying goes, no pressure, no motivation. So I thought that if we could hold a knowledge and skills competition, it would motivate the workers. We can not only hold individual knowledge competitions, but also competitions between groups, and even between workshops. That would be so motivating!"
Upon hearing this, Committee Member Zhang also came over.
"This does meet the workshop's needs. But where will the reward come from?"
Committee Member Hu also looked at Su Yu, since these rewards were to be received by the labor union.
Su Yu had already thought it through: "We don't want any rewards. We'll just record the results every month. At the end of the year, there are quotas for salary increases, right? Director, honestly, isn't the factory committee quite annoyed every time they have to deal with these lists? I think our union should help them."
Committee members Hu and Zhang immediately found this interesting.
Yes, the factory committee always holds the power to decide who gets the raises.
Committee Member Hu said, "We still need to talk to Chairman Sun about this." What to talk about, of course, is how to get this matter done through the factory committee.
He then said to Committee Member Zhang, "Besides, our publicity team definitely can't handle this matter. We'll need to trouble Committee Member Zhang and your team then."
Committee Member Zhang nodded with a smile. Such a big project, of course she, as a member of the production team, had to get involved.
Upon hearing this, Su Yu asked Gao Xin, "Committee Member Hu, Committee Member Zhang, have you really agreed? Actually, I've thought it through. Before making a decision, we can solicit the opinions of the factory workers and conduct a vote to see if they agree to compete for wage increases. After all, we live in a new society, and we must respect the opinions of the workers. We can't be a dictator."
Committee Member Zhang's eyes lit up. "That's a great idea!"
Some of those who were eligible for a wage increase did so through connections. However, those with connections were a minority, and because their actions had harmed the interests of others, most workers were willing to compete in a relatively fair environment.
If connections don't work, then skills will always offer some hope.
As long as the workers agree, the factory committee has no choice but to comply. No matter how high the position of the factory committee member is, it must meet the needs of the workers.
Committee Member Zhang smiled and said, "Su, it seems you're still very hardworking. Since joining our department, you've been working very hard, using your brain to get things done."
Su Yu smiled sheepishly, "I just feel that since everyone has given me this opportunity, I should try my best to do a good job. I can't let everyone down, and I can't let everyone think that the union has chosen the wrong person. Otherwise, people will laugh at us."
Committee Member Hu said with a smile, "Facts have proven that I have a keen eye for talent."
Without wasting any time, the three of them gathered together and refined the plan. The next morning, Committee Member Hu and Committee Member Zhang went to discuss the matter with Chairman Sun.
Inside the union chairman's office, Chairman Sun glanced at the plan and asked, "Are you sure it won't interfere with the workers' work?"
Committee member Hu said, "It won't cause any delay. Workers who participate in the competition can take a day off each month and use their leisure time to do it."
Chairman Sun nodded in satisfaction and then wrote the word "approved" on it.
"Our union is full of energy right now, and projects are coming one after another."
"These are all Su's ideas. Comrade Su is really hardworking." Committee Member Hu took every opportunity to praise Su Yu.
