Chapter 157: Battle of Wisdom and Courage
Of course, the higher-ups understood why the radio factory stopped operating a few years ago.
It's just that someone wanted to take over the company and drove away the technical expert and factory director.
It turned out that nothing could be done without Old Man Wang. It was extremely difficult to find technicians who were both obedient and technically competent, so the factory with hundreds of employees had to close down.
Nowadays, jobs are scarce, and idle high school graduates who cannot find jobs are going to the countryside to become educated youth.
Many children of leaders went to the countryside and cried for their parents, wanting to go back to the city. Children of cadres who were about to graduate were worried about not being able to find jobs. Existing enterprises and institutions were overstaffed, and some people suddenly remembered the radio factory that closed down a few years ago.
If it reopens, it will provide employment for hundreds of people.
More importantly, the radios produced were in great demand.
More importantly, the opening of a radio factory would provide a lot of cadre positions, which was a good opportunity to pursue a career in politics and gain achievements.
After a leadership meeting to discuss the issue, most of the leading cadres who wanted to do practical things, some who wanted to get promoted and make money, and some who wanted to arrange jobs for their children, quickly reached a common goal, which was to open a radio factory.
The factory's leadership team was quickly established, but it was discovered that they were all laymen, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Everyone understood that they had to invite Old Man Wang back to be the workhorse.
After communicating with the other party many times, Old Man Wang finally understood.
We want him to do a job, but there is no corresponding position.
They say that what happened in the past can be forgiven.
Old man Wang is not stupid. He wants the horse to run but not eat grass.
You want him to work honestly with his head down just by saying "let bygones be bygones". You're really dreaming!
He declined the offer on the grounds of his age, and the leadership team had no choice but to change their explanation and asked him to recommend a capable person.
He said he would think about it.
He accidentally discovered Wen Kexin, this oddball. He thought he had a good eye for people and believed that the little girl would definitely be something special in the future, so he immediately had an idea.
In this way, the two became master and apprentice.
At this moment, in order to protect his apprentice, he patted his chest and made a guarantee.
Everyone had different expressions, but after quickly doing some calculations, they soon realized that perhaps this was a better approach as it would save both sides' face.
Director Wang's eyes flickered a few times, and soon a smile appeared on his face.
In a flattering tone, he said, "Mr. Wang, of course we believe in you. With your support, the radio factory will not only be able to open, but will also gradually grow and develop."
Wen Kexin muttered to herself: I thought Director Wang was a good person, but the abacus beads are about to fall on his face.
He implicitly tied himself and his master together and was obviously trying to pass the buck.
Aren’t these all the factory director’s responsibility? Why should it be blamed on them, the master and the disciple?
She said pointedly, "Director Wang, what you said is wrong. As the saying goes, one should not interfere in matters that are not within one's jurisdiction. My master does not want to come back to work because he is old and unable to do the job. I am only responsible for the technology. I will take care of the things that are my responsibility. The development and growth of the factory involves purchasing, production, marketing, etc. These major matters have nothing to do with me, let alone my master."
This sentence is very powerful. Mr. Wang felt relieved after hearing it. This child is good at speaking and every word he says makes sense.
Director Wang and everyone else didn't expect that a little country girl could speak so flawlessly, and they immediately put away their contempt.
Shocked, he said sincerely, "Miss Wen is right. I didn't think it through. When can you come to work?"
As the saying goes, you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others.
Wen Kexin said calmly, "Director Wang, there is no rush to go back to work. I just heard from Master about the responsibilities and treatment that need to be undertaken in the factory. I think I should sign an agreement with the director so that we can have a clear understanding of what will happen in the future."
Director Wang muttered to himself, this girl is not simple!
On the surface, he remained calm, smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll ask my secretary to draft it right away. Any other questions?"
"Director Wang, you know that my parents' and husband's families are both from Shanhetun. My family members are worried about me working here alone. I want to ask for a temporary job for my father?"
Director Wang frowned deeply and said in an official tone, "Miss Wen, you should know how important a job is. For Mr. Wang's sake, it's good enough that I can arrange a formal job for you. Besides, this matter is not decided by me alone. I have to discuss it with the team members before making a decision."
Wen Kexin retorted with a hidden purpose: "Director Wang, are you mistaken? I came to the factory to take charge of technical work in place of my master because I am capable. If I am given the treatment of a formal employee, why would I come here without this treatment? If this is done for the sake of my master's face and I need to be grateful and owe him a favor, then I won't come."
This girl speaks so sharply!
Director Wang suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Mr. Wang hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "Ke Xin, we all have a common goal, which is to open the factory. What did I tell you before I came here? You have to respect your leaders. How did you say that?"
Wen Kexin felt amused in her heart, but on the surface, she took a step back and said calmly, "Director Wang, I am telling the truth. I forgot to tell you that my fiancé is an officer. I wanted to follow the army after opening the factory, and let my father take over my job, and the factory would not be affected. I was thinking about the factory and wanted to give my father a temporary job as a transition. Since you think I am going too far, then please find someone else. Master, let's go."
Everyone then realized that Miss Wen was actually a quasi-military family member and she was considering the overall situation.
They are judging others by their own mean standards.
Director Wang almost cursed. If they could find someone else and they could have said countless good things, would they have waited for Old Man Wang for so many days?
Miss Wen is not very old, but she hit the vital point accurately.
He quickly figured it out, and said with a proper smile on his face: "Miss Wen, as the saying goes, it's not clear if you don't say it. It turns out that you are wholeheartedly considering the factory, and it's just a transition. As the factory director, I have to fulfill whatever you say. No matter how much pressure I have to endure, I agree to the temporary worker quota."
Wen Kexin complained in her heart: Is it so difficult for a deputy-department-level factory director to get a temporary worker quota when building such a large factory? How much pressure can you bear? You are so pretentious! Others believe it, but she doesn't.
On the surface, he said sarcastically: "Director Wang has worked hard for the factory, and he is worthy of learning for all of us."
This sounded good, but it was obviously harsh, and Director Wang felt his face getting hot.
He awkwardly shifted his gaze and looked at the factory secretary and asked, "Is the agreement ready?"
In those days, agreements were only handwritten, and the secretary would observe the expressions of the people and quickly draft an agreement and hand it over.
After Director Wang read it, he handed it over.
Wen Kexin found that there was no problem, her father's temporary worker quota was written down. She glanced at the secretary wearing glasses, what a talent!
He picked up the pen and signed calmly, and Director Wang also signed his name.
"Miss Wen, the agreement has been signed. When can you come to work?"
How many times have you asked this question?
Wen Kexin complained strongly in her heart: Everyone knows Sima Zhao's intention.
It was clearly written on Director Wang's face that he wanted to get to work immediately!
The factory manager is anxious, but she is not!
She continued slowly, "Director Wang, you know my home is in Shanhetun. It's not realistic for me to commute back and forth every day after I start working. I must settle down in the county so that I can work without distraction."
She must fight for her rights, otherwise she will miss this opportunity forever!
