Chapter 243 I protest

Jiang Yu could not refute these words.

She could easily bring them up because she did not need to take responsibility.

However, Director Zheng could not do that. Once the higher-ups got into trouble, he would be the first to bear the brunt, so he had to consider many things.

He Tingyue said, "Director, think about it from another angle."

Director Zheng and Section Chief Jin looked up at him at the same time.

He continued, "If an earthquake occurs, the materials we prepared can bring warmth to the people in the disaster area, and we should feel fortunate. If the earthquake does not occur, it means that there are no casualties, which is also something to be happy about. Compared to everyone being safe, everything else is trivial."

Section Chief Jin slammed the table hard, his face flushed.

"Well said! Director Zheng, don't hesitate, call a meeting with the factory leaders! I'm not afraid of taking responsibility, and if I'm really held accountable, I won't regret this decision!"

Jiang Yu's eyes were firm, "Me too! I know I'm insignificant, but if it really comes to that, I'll resign." To be

honest, she hoped from the bottom of her heart that there would be no earthquake.

However, since she saw the earthquake warning report, her uneasiness has become stronger.

Director Zheng sighed, "Okay, I'm convinced by you! Tingyue, notify the factory leadership and hold an emergency meeting."

Jiang Yu couldn't get involved in what happened next.

She only knew that the female workers in each workshop were urgently recalled that night and began to work overtime to produce cotton-padded clothes and trousers.

This emergency will not only last tonight, but will last for several days.

The factory only notified everyone to work overtime, but did not explain the specific situation to everyone, so it is inevitable that some people will feel resentful.

The salary is so low, who would be willing to work overtime?

I don’t know where it came from, saying that the factory’s call for everyone to work overtime is related to Jiang Yu.

Soon, someone blocked Jiang Yu on the way home from work.

"Jiang Yu, I heard that it is because of you that the factory asked us to work overtime?"

Jiang Yu knew that they were resentful, which was normal, so he patiently explained to her.

"I'm just a small clerk in the publicity department and have no qualifications to interfere with the factory's decisions. The factory called on everyone to work overtime for a reason, but it was definitely not because of me."

"You are fooling me! I asked around and it's true that it was because of you that the factory called us back to work overtime! The factory also stipulates that we cannot take leave, so I couldn't take care of my mother-in-law in the hospital."

"Yes, we work hard in the workshop, but Jiang Yu is sitting in the office drinking tea and reading newspapers. It turns out that she is not the one who is tired."

"She just chatted casually, but she made us tired to death."

"There's no way, who calls her husband Section Chief He."

Jiang Yu was surrounded by them. Not only could she not get a word in, but she couldn't get away either. She had a headache for a while.

Finally, He Qianqian and a few female workers came over and rescued her.

"Zhang Chunhua, you beat your mother-in-law into the hospital. Others don't know, but do you think you can hide it from us? It's ok that you bully us normally, but now you're bullying the publicity department staff. It seems that you are the boss of the second factory!"

The female workers who followed Zhang Chunhua and made a fuss were all stunned.

"Chunhua,

did you beat your mother-in-law?" "You beat your mother-in-law into the hospital?"

"Didn't you say you were very good to your mother-in-law?"

"You still want to go to the hospital to take care of her? I think you want to be lazy!"

He Qianqian spat and said sarcastically: "Her mother-in-law was broken on the head by her because she ate one more egg. She is still lying in the hospital. It's not difficult to find out about this. Many people in the family compound know about it."

Zhang Chunhua got into the second factory through connections. She was the team leader of the workshop team. He Qianqian worked under her for a few days and was squeezed out by her.

Fortunately, He Qianqian was smart and was later transferred to another team, so she escaped from Zhang Chunhua's clutches.

Zhang Chunhua saw that no one was speaking for her anymore, and the look in her eyes was even more contemptuous, so she quickly spoke up to explain.

"These are two different things. How my mother-in-law ended up in the hospital is my family affair and has nothing to do with you. Let's talk about Jiang Yu's matter now!"

Jiang Yu said calmly, "I repeat, the decision to call on the female workers in the workshop to work overtime was made by the factory leaders in a meeting, not just my decision. After this busy period, the factory will compensate everyone. Please believe that the factory will not treat any worker unfairly."

Zhang Chunhua sneered, "You are fooling me! We are workers, not beasts of burden. With the same salary, why do you ask us to work overtime? We protest!"

"Yes, we protest!"

"We don't work overtime!"

"Protest!"

Seeing this, Jiang Yu had no choice but to say, "How about this, you register here, and I will help you female workers who don't want to work overtime to apply. But let's make a promise in advance, if there is a subsidy for overtime workers in the future, you don't have to make trouble, it won't be your share."

Zhang Chunhua sneered, her face full of disdain.

"So many people are working overtime, if there is a subsidy, she would have said it long ago! Don't believe her, she is fooling us!"

The others echoed, "Yes! We don't believe it! We don't work overtime!"

The workers do have the right to choose, and Jiang Yu chose to respect it.

Finally, the female workers headed by Zhang Chunhua registered with Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu submitted it to Section Chief Jin's desk and explained the situation to him.

Section Chief Jin expressed his understanding and then found Director Lin of the workshop.

When it was time to get off work that day, the workshop manager let the female workers go and did not ask them to work overtime.

She followed the instructions of Section Chief Jin and explained to everyone why they had to work overtime to produce cotton-padded jackets and trousers.

"Your hard work today will not be in vain, it may save the lives of people in the disaster area! Everyone who wears cotton-padded jackets will be grateful for your efforts!"

After that, she let the female workers choose whether to work overtime.

More than 90% of them chose to stay.

Two days after the earthquake warning, on the evening of the 4th, an earthquake occurred in Liaoning Province.

Jiang Yu was far away and had no way of knowing.

But Director Zheng received a notice in the middle of the night and prepared supplies to support the disaster area at any time.

Late at night, the entire Second Factory was in action, including Jiang Yu.

Director Zheng: "It has been five hours since the earthquake, the situation is unclear, and the number of casualties is unknown. We need to send people to the disaster area to transport supplies. Comrades who are willing to take on this task, step out!"

He Tingyue stood up first without hesitation.

Jiang Yu's eyes widened slightly, and his heart skipped a beat. He was a little surprised, but also felt that it was expected.

Soldiers have the belief of defending their country in their bones.

She lowered her eyes and saw that after He Tingyue, several people stood up one after another.

She also wanted to step out, but she knew that she would only be a burden if she went there.

"Good!" Director Zheng shouted, "All the comrades in our second factory are great! When the task is completed successfully, the factory will not let down any worker who sticks to his post!"

Jiang Yu did not sleep all night. In the early morning, Director Zheng received a call and the team transporting supplies could set off.

She did not even have time to say a word to He Tingyue. She only looked at him from a distance, and the car drove away from her.

This was the first separation they had experienced since they got married.

Jiang Yu felt lost and helpless.
