Chapter 400 I want to be rich and have a higher level of ideological awareness than you
When the workers got home from get off work, they were still discussing the assessment.

Their discussion naturally attracted the attention of others.

Tell it to a thousand to ten thousand, tell it to ten thousand to a hundred thousand.

Within two days, things got serious.

Now it is not just the steel rolling mills that are discussing the assessment. Factories in all walks of life are also discussing it. Everyone is very excited and is asking their leaders for an explanation.

A female worker at a textile factory went straight to the factory director's office to inquire.

"Director, we are so tired from hand-printing all day that our waists are almost broken. Are we really going to stop this assessment?"

The factory manager said, "Young comrade, why do you keep talking about assessment? Are you going to quit without assessment?"

The worker asked, "Director, what you said is so easy. If there is no assessment, why should I work so hard? Only by assessment can I get promoted, and only by upgrading can I get more money."

"No money? How can my family survive without money? Don't let a full man not know the hunger of a hungry man."

The factory director stopped and looked at her: "Comrade, where is your working class consciousness?"

"Ah?" The worker folded his hands and asked, "Director, if I was paid 180 yuan a month, my awareness would be higher than yours!"

These words made the factory manager choke up instantly. He was unable to utter a word of rebuttal and could only leave in shame.

How could the workers let him go? "Director, you haven't answered yet, are we really going to stop the assessment?"

This made the factory manager leave faster and get rid of the workers' pursuit.

This is not just a case in the textile factory. Most factory managers are questioned by workers one by one and they will not stop until they get a result.

What a joke. From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, the factory leaders didn’t say a word about the assessment. They worked hard for a year in vain.

If they had told them earlier, they wouldn't have to work so hard.

Now, factory managers in all walks of life have been speechless due to the workers’ criticism, and they are all cursing Director Yang in their hearts.

"What the hell is a steel mill for? Why did they expose this? Damn it. How can I fill this hole after it's been exposed?"

"If I knew which factory manager leaked this information, I would beat him to death. Damn it, what kind of bullshit is this? Pah!"

For a time, the factory managers were at a loss as to what to do after hearing what the workers said. They were not like Director Yang, who had already made plans.

They just wanted to hide it and kept hiding it forever. Now that it has been exposed, they want to explain, but they don’t know how to do it.

None of them followed Director Yang's ready-made answer, so they could only rack their brains to figure out how to deal with it.

"Comrades, where is your working-class consciousness? Without the assessment, you won't pass."

"Our labor is the most glorious. How can it be tainted by money? Is this labor still glorious?"

The factory director could only use the righteousness of the working class to suppress everyone.

One worker retorted: "Bah, Director, please stop fooling us. You never talk about wages, never talk about contribution, never talk about benefits, and always talk about realm."

"How about we swap our salaries, I can get a hundred or eighty yuan a month, and I can also talk about honor."

As soon as these words were spoken, they instantly resonated with everyone.

Seeing that he couldn't fool everyone, the factory director had no choice but to leave in shame.

After returning to the office, they called Director Yang one after another and said, "Director Yang, look at what you have done. You have caused such a big mess. How do you want me to end this?"

"You are a steel mill. You are such a big factory. If the assessment is suspended, then it is suspended. Our small factory cannot stand such a joke. Do you know that?"

Facing the questions from the various factory managers, Factory Manager Yang responded bluntly: "What? You don't want to think about how to solve the problem, but instead you come to scold me?"

"You won't talk about the assessment until later. If you don't tell me now, do you want to tell me during the Chinese New Year? Do you want to die?"

All the factory managers were speechless after hearing this. If they had said it during the New Year, they might not have died, but they might not have lost limbs.

Don't underestimate people nowadays. They have both the force and the brain, and they are ruthless when it comes to killing people. The key is that there is no surveillance.

When I got beaten, I couldn't find out who did it, so I could only swallow the beating.

"Bang~" Director Yang hung up the phone angrily.

"Why are you blaming me now? You just talked about it at the beginning of the year, but you didn't think about it earlier. Now that something has happened, you are trying to make amends. It's too late!"

"What kind of brain is this? He's already the factory director, but he doesn't have any contingency plans at all."

"Ding-ling-ling~" At this time, the phone rang again.

Director Yang was furious and picked up the phone and yelled, "Fight, fight, fight, what are you fighting for? Are you stupid? If you can't handle such a small matter, what kind of director are you!"

"I think you should just stop being factory managers and go to the workshop to work directly. That way you don't have to figure out how to solve the problem!"

Director Yang cursed, venting all his anger of the past few days at once.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, and only after a while did a few words come out: "Xiao Yang, it's me!"

"Boss, I wasn't talking about you just now. Don't mind it. I didn't expect you to call me in person." Director Yang explained stutteringly.

"Okay, stop explaining." The leader said lightly.

"Big leader," Director Yang wanted to explain.

Before he could finish his words, the big boss spoke directly: "Alright, I know you didn't mean that. It's normal for you to vent your emotions. I'm not here to blame you."

Hearing this, Director Yang felt relieved. After hearing what Director Yang had just said, the senior leader knew that he was not targeting him.

Director Yang hurriedly asked, "Boss, what instructions do you have?"

Senior leader: "I came to ask you, what were you thinking when the assessment was stopped and you made it public?"

When he heard that they were there to ask for the reason, Director Yang explained the whole story clearly and even mentioned Secretary Wang, saying that he supported speaking out.

He also said that if the State Council caused trouble, he would solve it.

Hearing this, the big boss remained silent for a while before replying, "Okay, I know about this."

Since Secretary Wang has come out to support it, it is almost certain that this was a decision made long ago and it is not Director Yang's fault.

After all, this matter cannot actually be blamed on Director Yang. It was something that had been agreed upon at the beginning of the year, but no one spoke out about it.

The assessment will be stopped sooner or later, it is just a matter of time.

"Boss, what should I do about this?" asked Director Yang.

"What about this?" On the other end of the phone, the big boss was touching his head and feeling very troubled. He was in the Ministry of Metallurgy and had no business dealing with these matters at all.

"You can handle this matter however you want. I support you. If there are any problems, I will take the responsibility."

Hearing this, Director Yang curled his lips. The leader was trying to clear himself of responsibility and not telling the truth at all.

Director Yang could only pretend to be happy: "Okay, I feel relieved with your support."

The senior leader was very satisfied with Director Yang's response: "I don't ask what to do, but I still need to pay attention to the workers' emotions."

"Okay." Director Yang responded, and the leader hung up the phone.

"Damn it, you blame me when something goes wrong, and I have nothing to do with any good thing." Director Yang cursed.

At the same time, Secretary Wang was just like Director Yang, busy answering the phone, busy fighting back, and reporting to his superiors. Throughout the day, he did not leave the office except to go to the toilet, and meals were delivered to him.

After just a few bites, I had to deal with calls from other factories.

"If I had known there would be so many troubles, I would not have said anything." Secretary Wang complained and then continued to respond one by one.

Director Yang listened to the continuous calls. Since he had the support of the senior leaders, he simply ignored the calls and said, "Whatever you say, I don't care."

Director Yang rushed out the door and said, "Let's go to the workshop and check the situation."

Director Yang couldn't believe that the workers hadn't changed at all after the assessment was stopped. He didn't believe that the workers would work as hard as before.

When I arrived at the workshop, I saw that the workers had finished their tasks, and some of them were a little slack, but fortunately some people had not changed.

In front of Director Yang, there was a man working seriously on a workpiece, while another man was sitting leisurely in the corner.

"Hey, Erdan, you've already finished the work, right? What are you still doing?"

Erdan replied, "Oh, you are free now, right? I want to make some more workpieces and improve my skills at the same time."

Hu Zi put his hands behind his head and said: "Why do you work so hard? You can't get promoted. Just complete the task and muddle through. Isn't it better to take a rest with this free time?"

Erdan: "You can't say that. The assessment is stopped now, but the skills are mine. When the assessment is resumed, I can improve my skills and move up."

"Why don't you practice as well? Now that everyone is free, it's our chance to catch up with others."

Hu Zi swung his butt and sat more comfortably. "Forget it. I don't know when I will recover. I might as well take a rest while I have time."

"If you want to practice, then just practice slowly. I won't accompany you."

Finally, he whispered, "Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty? Who are you trying to show off to? It won't be long before your true colors are exposed."

As he spoke, Hu Zi looked at Er Dan with contempt in his eyes.

Seeing this, Erdan didn't care and continued to work attentively.

"Cough cough."

The two looked in the direction of the voice. Hu Zi, who was sitting on the ground, stood up quickly and looked at him with fear and trepidation: "Director Yang, how did you get here?"

Director Yang fell to the ground and looked at him meaningfully, and Hu Zi was so scared that he broke out in a sweat.

However, Director Yang only glanced at him and ignored him. Instead, he looked at Erdan and said, "Young man, you are very good. What's your name? What's your level?"

"My name is Erdan, and I'm a first-level worker now." Erdan looked at Director Yang from a close distance and touched his head shyly.

"Erdan, I remember your name. Do your best. I have confidence in you." Director Yang patted Erdan on the shoulder.

"Yes! Director, I will try my best." Erdan responded excitedly.

"Okay, okay!" Director Yang patted him again, said some encouraging words, then turned and left.

After Director Yang left, Erdan was still in an excited mood, "I never thought that one day the director would remember my name. Mom, I'm not a coward!"

Hu Zi is still worried that Director Yang will remember his name and make things difficult for him in the future.

However, it was obvious that his worries were unnecessary. Director Yang was in no mood to deal with him because there were people behind him who did even more excessive things than him.

The more Director Yang inspected the workshop, the more frightened he became, and the more helpless he became, forcing him to accept the situation.

There are many workers in the workshop who just lie down and do nothing. This is not an isolated case but a common phenomenon.

On the contrary, people like Erdan are the outliers. Without the pressure of assessment, everyone's production enthusiasm is not high and production efficiency has also decreased.

The scrap rate of workpieces has also increased significantly.

Director Yang said helplessly: "Fortunately, fortunately, at least the tasks can be completed. It's enough to be able to complete this."

Director Yang is also content and does not dare to ask for too much. Even those bad masters cannot manage their apprentices, so how can he, as a factory director, manage them?

You have to know that the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager. He can't even manage the master, let alone this "high and mighty" factory director.

"Oh, forget it, never mind." After inspecting the entire workshop, Director Yang returned to his office helplessly to think of a way to solve the current difficulty.

It's not just the steel mills that are like this, other factories are almost the same, they are all so slack.

Such situations were naturally reported one by one by the factory managers, and the higher-ups could not stand this situation and reported it as well.

Eventually, the conditions of the factories and workers were reported to the higher authorities.

Naturally, he was taken seriously by those people.

The People's Daily even published a special edition to explain the situation.

I would like to explain that the crisis currently faced by the workers is only temporary and will definitely be overcome. I would also like to ask for your tolerance as there are still more difficulties in other places.

I hope everyone can unite as one and overcome the difficulties together.

The higher-ups had spoken and the news had been published in the newspapers, so no matter how unwilling the workers were, they had no choice but to accept the fact.

If you don't accept it, are you going to resist?

At this point, the employee assessment came to an end, everything returned to calm, and everyone gradually stopped talking about this topic to avoid adding to the sadness.

"Xiao Yuan, what a pity." Cui Yuan's master Liu Huazhong patted Cui Yuan on the shoulder and said helplessly.

Cui Yuan smiled slightly: "Master, what's so regrettable about this? Isn't it just that I can't upgrade? The little money I earned from the upgrade is all earned back from the extra money I earned."

"Maybe if I work a little longer, the extra money I make this month can catch up with my salary, so it won't make much difference whether I get promoted or not."

It has been more than ten days since Cui Yuan started earning extra money. During these ten days, he has earned at least 10 yuan. This 10 yuan plus his monthly salary is higher than that of a first-level worker.

This is only about 10 days, and I can make another 10 yuan or even 15 yuan later.

By this calculation, the extra income he earns a month is almost the same as his salary, so what is Cui Yuan dissatisfied with?

"I'm glad that you think so." Cui Yuan's frank acceptance made Liu Huazhong feel relieved. He was afraid that Cui Yuan would be angry.

Cui Yuan continued, "Don't worry, Master, I'm fine. Being an apprentice is not bad. The work is not that much, and it's not too hard. It won't affect my studies."

"Maybe when the assessment is reopened someday, I can directly take the second-level electrician exam."

Hearing Cui Yuan's confident words, Liu Huazhong realized that he didn't need to persuade him anymore.

"Okay, I'm relieved if you think this way. If you don't understand something, just ask. I'm waiting for the day when the assessment will be reopened. I hope you can soar to the top and become a second-level electrician."

"It's Master!"

"Hahaha, go ahead and get busy." Liu Huazhong smiled heartily and left the office.

Cui Yuan looked at the machine on the table and then started repairing it. This was all his money.

As he continued to repair broken machines, Cui Yuan felt more and more that his electrical skills needed to be improved. There were many machines that he could not repair and could only be repaired after the guidance of his master.

The more difficult the machine is, the more it costs to repair it. How could this not motivate Cui Yuan to make progress?

For Cui Yuan, the continuous advancement of technology means more money he can make.
