Chapter 1312: The Rich Help the Poor
On December 25th, Xinxing Machinery Company successfully cut the ribbon and was inaugurated. The once run-down Eighth Machinery Factory has been completely renewed and welcomes all leaders and guests from all walks of life.
As the "main leader of the parent company" of this new unit, Li Ye also welcomed the guests on site with Lu Zhizhang.
Even when the north wind blows on your face in the middle of winter, you still have to show a friendly smile and make the guests who come to congratulate you feel the strong enthusiasm and respect. This is a technical job that cannot be mastered without three to five years of hard work.
Li Ye has been practicing for five years since graduation. He can't say that he has reached perfection, but naturally he has no flaws.
But when Li Ye saw Han Jinqu also coming to congratulate him, he couldn't force a smile no matter how hard he tried.
Ever since he rebuked Han Jinqu for being "incompetent" in front of the department leaders that day, the two had fallen out. Although the higher-ups tried to be peacemakers and asked the first branch to "put the overall situation first" and help the Red Star Manufacturing Plant overcome its difficulties, Li Ye went on a "business trip for inspection" directly.
Lu Zhizhang, who stayed at home, was a master of Tai Chi. He complained about his poverty and said that "his family didn't have any extra food." Finally, Ma Zhaoxian went to protest directly to the higher authorities, saying that the good child at home should not be left to shoulder all the messes.
Good kids are not fools. If this continues, they will learn bad things from bad kids.
Originally, Ma Zhaoxian was just making an analogy, but somehow, the rumor that Han Jinqu was labeled a "bad boy" spread quickly and was accepted by everyone.
So do you think Han Jinqu could not be angry?
So no one from the Red Star Factory was invited to this ribbon-cutting ceremony, just to avoid unnecessary trouble. But who would have thought that this guy would come uninvited.
From a distance, Li Ye saw Han Jinqu with a sullen face, as if someone owed him eight million, and he immediately felt disgusted.
[Is this a visit to congratulate? Or is this a visit to mourn?]
"Old Lu, please take care of me. I'm going to the bathroom."
Li Ye informed Lu Zhizhang and prepared to hide aside. There were so many guests today. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if a quarrel broke out? It was better to just ignore it.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhizhang turned around and said to Director Kong next to him: "Old Kong, please receive me. I also need to go to the toilet."
“.”
[Are you good friends in middle school? Do you even go to the bathroom together? ]
Li Ye looked at his old partner in surprise, smiled knowingly, and then they walked away together.
Li Ye disliked the person, and Lu Zhizhang also disliked him. With the superiors present, he could still be perfunctory, but now he had no face at all.
Han Jinqu, who was almost there, saw the two men turn around and leave, and suddenly quickened his pace, trying to catch up with them.
But Director Kong stopped him and said with a smile, "Old Han, I am such a grown-up standing here, and you don't even look at me? How did I offend you?"
And why are you so serious? Today is the day we launch our new factory, and it's a happy occasion. Why are you so sullen? It's like you're here to collect debts?"
Director Han looked at Director Kong who was standing in front of him and said in a deep voice: "I am not here to collect debts. I just want justice.
Today is your glorious day, Kong Jueming. Logically, I really shouldn’t spoil the fun, but I think of our Red Star Factory’s more than 3,000 workers who are still waiting for their turn to cook.”
"Go seek justice somewhere else. I won't give you justice here."
Director Kong's face suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Han Jinqu, I know you are not convinced. You are not convinced that the First Branch chose our Eighth Machinery Factory.
But since they didn’t choose you, you should first look for your own reasons, and stop talking about fairness and injustice all day long, and don’t use more than 3,000 workers as an excuse.”
Director Kong said sarcastically, "Have you ever cared about the lives of the workers in these years? You only care about whether you can be evaluated as advanced and whether you can have a future. Now that the workers are making trouble and affecting the chair under your buttocks, you only remember the workers?"
“.”
Han Jinqu was choked by Director Kong's words.
They were all familiar with each other, so Han Jinqu knew that Kong Jueming’s Eighth Machinery Factory was a big hole, and Kong Jueming also knew that Han Jinqu was a "hypocrite."
In fact, the situation they encountered in recent years is the same as that of other small state-owned enterprises, with declining performance, debts and redundant staff.
But faced with all kinds of difficulties, the two people adopted two completely opposite coping modes.
Kong Jueming kept complaining to his superiors, saying "the crying child gets the milk", and he wanted all the grants, subsidies, and loans. He said, "Don't worry about how big the debt is. I, Kong Jueming, will first ensure the basic living of the employees in the unit."
Han Jinqu was the exact opposite. When asked about the situation at his unit, he always said, "There are no difficulties. I can persevere. I will let those who are more needed go first and not cause trouble for the country."
Han Jinqu always took a step behind others in exchange for countless verbal praises from his superiors for being "sensible and responsible."
However, he did not consider the employees' situation. Is the salary paid once every three months enough to buy rice for the whole family?
When he hadn't paid his workers' monthly salary for three months and had no food to eat, he became anxious and wanted to seek justice.
Who will give you justice?
"Director, the convoy led by the director is coming soon"
Just at this moment, the employee who was standing guard at the door ran over and signaled that the convoy of leaders above was about to arrive.
"Xiao Chen, go to the toilet and inform Director Li and Director Lu."
Kong Jueming quickly asked someone to call Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang, and then looked at Han Jin and said, "Old Han, let's go and greet the leader together! If you really have any difficulties, just tell the leader."
Han Jinqu's lips moved, and then he said, "Don't worry, I know the general situation."
Kong Jueming smiled.
[What a fool and coward! One incompetent general leads to the death of the entire army. ]
. . . . . . . . . . . .
The listing ceremony of Xinxing Machinery Company was held very smoothly. The leaders spoke highly of this "reorganization and merger" and placed high hopes on the future of the new unit.
After all the procedures were completed, everyone started to have dinner together.
At this time, an abnormal phenomenon occurred.
Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang were "fortunate" to sit at the same table with the leaders of the department and became the focus of the whole audience.
But logically speaking, although Li Ye was one of the main persons in charge of the unit merger and sat at the same table with the leaders, he was still too young in this environment with strict seating arrangements.
So while Li Ye was flattered, he also became secretly alert.
Sure enough, when the banquet started, the leader raised his glass and said: "We have been shouting slogans over the years, that is, to let some people get rich first. This spirit is the same in the enterprise.
Young people like Director Lu and Director Li are courageous and capable. At this important moment, they should shoulder greater responsibilities, help the poor, and then let them help more people."
“.”
As soon as the leader finished speaking, the people around him applauded, saying that the leader was capable and high-minded.
The rich help the poor, there is nothing wrong with this saying!
Li Ye quietly looked towards Han Jinqu's table and happened to meet his eyes.
Li Ye looked at the smile that Han Jinqu had managed to force out, and a playful arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
[The rich should help the poor, this is a spirit I must agree with! ]
