Chapter 114: Do it if you can, get out if you can’t
Liu Shengli cleared his throat and glanced at everyone: "What's going on? Are you trying to rebel? Why are you beating people up for no reason?"
“…” No one dared to speak.
"What's wrong? Are you mute? Weren't you shouting loudly just now? Why are you silent now?"
When Xiao Qi heard this, she cried out, "Chief, you have to take charge. These people just came up and beat me without any reason! Look at my face..."
He howled as he spoke, but not a single tear came out. He just howled at the top of his lungs.
Tian Xin was both angry and amused. She couldn't help but walk up to him and ask, "You said everyone beat you indiscriminately. Then why don't you tell me? There were so many people here. Why did everyone beat you and not others?"
Liu Shengli was so busy calling out for help that he didn't see Tian Xin. He was surprised to see her appear: "Xiao Tian, why are you here?"
"Oh! I heard there was trouble in the factory today, so I came to take a look!" Tian Xin said calmly.
"Oh, then you go to the office and sit for a while! I'll come over when I'm done! Don't stand here! These men are rough, don't let them hurt you again!" Liu Shengli walked over and was about to take Tian Xin's hand to send her to the office.
Tian Xin quickly stepped back a few steps: "It's okay, it's okay, uncle, don't worry about me! You go about your business, I'll just take a look!"
"Oh! That's fine too. Just stand further away!" Liu Shengli awkwardly withdrew his hand and turned to look at Xiao Qi: "Stop howling! Xiao Tian is asking you a question?"
Xiao Qi stopped talking immediately upon hearing the serious tone of the section chief. She replied weakly, "Section chief, this transfer... is unreasonable! I'm doing a good job, why should I be transferred there? This... is it possible not to transfer me?"
Haha, you seem to be behaving well now, but you change your attitude so quickly!
"This is the factory's decision. If you don't want to cooperate, pack up and get out!"
Liu Shengli took a step forward and said, "If anyone else thinks this is unreasonable, please stand up!"
The head of the supply and marketing department had always enjoyed great prestige within the factory, and everyone trusted him. This was because he always treated everyone equally, regardless of the size of the matter, without showing partiality to anyone.
When he asked this, everyone immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. If the matter got out of hand and the factory asked them to fire them, it would be difficult to resolve!
Seeing everyone trembling with fear and afraid to speak, Liu Shengli understood what was going on. He immediately said, "Stop standing there! Go back and get back to work! Hand over everything today and be back on time tomorrow morning!"
When the truck drivers heard this, they immediately responded with "OK, OK, OK", and dispersed in a few minutes.
Only Tian Xin, Liu Shengli and Xiao Qi were left in the yard.
Xiao Qi rolled his eyes angrily when he saw everyone else had left. Then, noticing Tian Xin staring at him, he immediately changed his expression: "Section Chief, you guys get busy, I'm going to work!"
Liu Shengli said "hmm" and ran away immediately. He was so fast that he could catch up with the rabbit.
As soon as this was finished, a forklift drove into the workshop and the truck driver took action. Within a few minutes, a fully loaded truck drove across the yard and headed to the weighing room for weighing!
When we came in, the two rows of cars were full, but in a blink of an eye, they all drove away, half went to the quarry, and half went to the workshop to load materials.
Tian Xin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that everything had returned to normal.
Seeing this, Liu Shengli stepped forward and said, "Xiaotian, everyone is in a meeting right now, why don't you go to the office and sit down first?"
"Well……"
Tian Xin was just about to speak when someone suddenly ran over from the yard.
"Sister, the factory director is calling you!"
The person who came was Zhang Yuan, a clerk in Li Baiwan's office. Her job was to run errands, type documents, and so on. Tian Xin had been in the office so many times that she was quite familiar with her.
"Oh, okay!" she responded and turned to look at Liu Shengli.
Liu Shengli frowned: "Then let's go together!"
Several people entered the meeting room one after another.
Li Baiwan was speaking, and sitting below were the production section chief Wang Jianjun, laboratory director Li Junfeng, human resources department head Zhang Xiaomei, finance office Zheng Yali, quarry manager Zhang Guofeng, and transport team captain Zhang Wanguo.
These people are the heads of various departments in the factory.
As soon as Tian Xin and Liu Shengli entered, Li Baiwan took a look and waved to Tian Xin to sit next to him.
"What's going on?" Li Baiwan asked Liu Shengli who was sitting on the other side.
"Everyone has dispersed, it's no big deal. Some individuals are reluctant about the job transfer and are causing trouble!" said Liu Shengli.
"Well, I'm glad you're alright!" Li Baiwan only heard the first half of the sentence: "I don't care how you arrange it down there, this transfer is imperative. If anyone is unwilling, just let them go!"
Li Baiwan's tone was unbending, and no one in the room spoke. Zhang Xiaomei from the Human Resources Department timidly glanced at Liu Shengli and said, "Section Chief Liu, I've already received over a dozen resignation requests this morning! Look..."
She hesitated, her eyes evasive. As soon as she said that, Liu Shengli exploded: "This... why are you asking me this? You're in the HR department. If someone resigns, can't you just follow the rules? The factory director has already said that anyone who doesn't want to cooperate can just let them go!"
Although he was furious, he maintained a pleasant expression. He turned to Li Baiwan and said, "Director, there's no rush to reassign employees! Right after the Lunar New Year, it's the perfect time to lay off employees. Every company is hiring right now, so it'll be easy for them to find a job, right?"
There's really nothing wrong with what he said if you don't listen carefully!
"Section Chief Liu, you've got the wrong idea!" Tian Xin said with a smile, "It's just after the Lunar New Year, and everyone's broke. Layoffs now, aren't they pushing them into despair? And they're still looking for jobs? Who in the village doesn't have a family to support? Where are they supposed to find one?"
Liu Shengli didn't expect that the person who would confront him would be Tian Xin. His originally smiling face suddenly changed: "Xiao Tian, you can't say that!"
He looked around at everyone and said, "You don't know since you're not in the factory! This year the factory is trying to improve its efficiency, but now we have an oversupply of staff, which is a waste in itself.
The factory has a limited monthly production quota, material prices keep rising, and sales are mediocre! It's been incredibly difficult to maintain our balance sheet until now. If we don't lay off any more employees, monthly salary payments will be a significant expense, and future material purchases will be a problem!"
"If that's the case, instead of focusing on production, you're grappling with personnel issues. Moreover, you're laying off so many people at once, and they're all capable workers in various departments. I'm curious, who will do their jobs after you lay them off?" Tian Xin was very emotional, and she didn't expect that she shouldn't have said these words.
"After the layoffs, each department will be rearranged. Most of these people are lazy and cannot create much value for the factory, so we are considering layoffs!" said Liu Shengli.
"Really? You said these people are lazy, how do you explain this?"
Tian Xin took Li Baiwan's computer and played the photos taken yesterday along with the video captured from the surveillance camera.
