After Xing Baohua left, the two men in the room exchanged a glance. Finally, Hou Liwei stood up, extinguished his cigarette, and casually remarked, "Hmph! What a piece of trash."
After Hou Liwei left, Hong Mingliang also stood up, but with a smile on his face, humming: "Back when my team first started, there were only a dozen or so people and seven or eight guns."
Hou Liwei walked up to Liu Quan and loudly questioned, "Why is production stopped? Don't you know there are production tasks?"
At this moment, Liu Quan was covered in sweat and was organizing people to find the defective boards. When someone asked, he said, "The director ordered a production halt."
Upon seeing that it was Hou Liwei who was asking the question, he continued, "There are defective circuit boards that have leaked onto the production line, and we need to find them."
"If Xing Baohua says to stop production, then stop production! If there are quality problems, my quality control team will take responsibility, but the production line cannot be stopped. Get it running again!" Hou Liwei said loudly.
"Well, let's wait for the director to arrive and see what he says?" Liu Quan hesitated for a moment, but still didn't follow the order.
Then another voice came from behind him: "Get to work."
Liu Quan turned his head and saw that it was Hong Mingliang who spoke.
Now I'm really sweating with anxiety.
Before Liu Quan could hesitate, Hong Mingliang said, "The division of labor must be orderly. Production is production. Even if parts with quality problems are produced, that is the job of the quality inspection team. If you stop the line to find the problematic parts, that is a violation of the rules."
"But," Liu Quan was interrupted by Hong Mingliang as soon as he spoke.
"There are no 'buts'. If I tell you to start working, then start working. If you don't listen, I'll replace you immediately." Hong Mingliang's expression turned serious, and he spoke to Liu Quan without any politeness.
Liu Quan was starting to feel the strain. If Hou Liwei were still around, he could have stalled until Xing Baohua returned. But he couldn't ignore Hong Mingliang's words.
At times, Hong Mingliang has a hidden identity, and once this identity is activated, his authority is greater than that of Xing Baohua.
Xing Baohua's two assistants both have the authority to take charge of work in the absence of their supervisor. This task could involve comprehensive management.
Fortunately, Xing Baohua was absent, and the timing of their appearance contradicted Xing Baohua's orders. Even Liu Quan, if he were stupid, would understand that the two in front of him were working together to dig a trap for Xing Baohua!
Left with no other choice, he organized the workers to start work. He had to obey the order, and as for the defective boards leaking out, he was also helpless.
After the two deputy directors left, Xu Shuai walked over to Liu Quan and asked, "What should we do? Should I go ask Hua Zi?"
"What can we do? Let's not look for him for now. He's probably reporting this to his superiors right now," Liu Quan said with a sigh.
Xing Baohua hurriedly went to the factory director's office, knocked on the door, and went straight in.
Factory Director Li was on the phone when he saw Xing Baohua and waved him out.
Xing Baohua stepped back again, closed the door, and waited outside.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Director Li opened the door and asked Xing Baohua, "What is it?"
"I have something important to report," Xing Baohua said.
"Come in and talk," Director Li said, gesturing for Xing Baohua to enter before closing the door.
After recounting what happened, the discussion shifted to the issue of the material requisition system. It included how to regulate it and prevent similar problems from recurring.
"Yes, that's good. It's commendable that you can identify and correct problems promptly and report them in a timely manner. In fact, this kind of shortcoming has existed for a long time. It's just that it's difficult to correct. That guy named Wang Qiang can be transferred to another position. This is an internal personnel transfer within your fifth workshop, so you don't need to report it to the factory."
Then Director Li added, "Regarding the workshop regulations, you can consult your father. He's the former director."
Xing Baohua nodded and replied, "Understood, it's just that the production line is stopped..."
"The production line can't stop. If it stops, it'll be an accident, and there will be an investigation. It won't be good for anyone. You need to understand that. Sometimes it's better to cover it up than to expose it. Everything needs to be handled internally. Let him process it within the workshop and minimize the impact." Director Li's words immediately brought Xing Baohua to his senses.
Yes, in the factory manager's words, it's better to cover it up than to expose it. Times have changed; we can't use old ways of thinking to make decisions.
In the past, when quality problems were discovered, the most we would do was stop production to find the cause, and at worst, we would suffer some economic losses.
But things are different these days. "Impact" is more important than anything else; once it has an impact, it's a big deal.
If there's a quality issue with the product, you can eventually find the problem yourself, but you can't expose it by revealing your own dirty laundry. If you stop production, what will the other managers in the factory think? Won't they investigate, and who will ultimately be held accountable?
When Xing Baohua returned to the workshop, he saw that the production line was running and breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately realized that it must not be that Liu Quan disobeyed orders and did not stop production.
Sure enough, after hearing Liu Hai's report, Xing Baohua squinted and thought about something.
The battle has begun, and Xing Baohua has no choice but to fight. However, he is still unsure whether Hou Liwei and Hong Mingliang are allies, fighting independently, or attempting to create a three-way power struggle.
