Chapter 401 Dealing with the reactions of various families
Director Yang returned to his office and racked his brains to think of a solution to the workers' laziness. If things continued like this, he was worried that he would not be able to complete the task by the end of the year.

"We have to find a way to solve it, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the senior leaders at the end of the year."

"Why did so many things happen as soon as I became the factory director? Am I really a jinx?"

For a moment, Director Yang couldn't help but fall into self-doubt.

But he quickly shook his head, throwing away this improper thought, "The most urgent thing is to find a solution first."

After a while, Director Yang came up with a solution and immediately called Secretary Wang, Li Huaide and other leaders.

"I just came back from the workshop and saw that the workers there were very lazy. After finishing a workpiece, one or two of them either took a break or smoked. This situation is very serious."

"If we don't get rid of this unhealthy trend soon, I'm worried that the steel mill won't be able to complete its tasks this year."

Several people listened to Director Yang talking, but no one chose to speak. They just listened quietly.

Director Yang finally mentioned the key point: "I asked you to come here to discuss with everyone and come up with a solution that can not only eliminate this unhealthy trend, but also reawaken the workers' enthusiasm for production."

Several people kept silent and watched quietly. Since Director Yang asked them to come, he must have an idea, otherwise he wouldn't have spent so much time talking.

Secretary Wang replied at the right time: "Director Yang, do you have any good ideas?"

Director Yang got straight to the point: "I propose that starting from this month, the factory should set aside a portion of funds and tickets every month as rewards for those workers who have done a good job, as a form of encouragement and motivation."

"This way, we can improve the worker's grade in disguise, reward those workers who work hard, so that their efforts are not wasted, and also tell the workers that our leaders have seen what they have done."

Hearing this, several people lowered their heads to think about it and felt that Director Yang's idea was extremely feasible. If he was willing to sacrifice a small amount of money to ensure production, they had no reason to refuse.

After all, the money doesn't have to come out of their pockets, so why wouldn't they agree? Otherwise, let them come up with a more appropriate solution.

Secretary Wang added, "Director Yang, if you have anything to say, just say it all at once. It's just money and tickets. There's no need to call us all in for such a small matter."

"As expected, I still can't escape Secretary Wang's discerning eyes." Director Yang praised, "The bonus is a small matter, the factory can pay for it. The main thing is this ticket, the factory can also pay for ordinary tickets."

"But if we just give out ordinary tickets, it won't motivate the workers to work actively. We need to give out real rare tickets, such as bicycle tickets, watch tickets, and sewing machine tickets."

Director Yang just gave a few examples of tickets, and they immediately understood what Director Yang meant.

The leaders don't actually have many of these rare tickets, and they also have to reward their subordinates, so it is basically impossible for them to share the profits.

Director Yang's behavior is to snatch food from the tiger's mouth and "contribute" a few tickets from everyone. It is impossible for him to make the effort alone, and he cannot support it for long.

Although several leaders do not rely solely on rare tickets to win people's hearts, they still cannot do without the help of these tickets. It would not be acceptable to let them pay in vain.

Director Yang saw that everyone was silent: "I know that you don't have many tickets. You don't have to take them out all at once. You can take turns to take them out. It's OK to take out a rare ticket every two or three months. This shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"It's October now, and there are only three months left until the Chinese New Year. The factory's production tasks have not been completed. If the tasks are not completed, everyone will be in trouble."

"Well, let's each person buy a ticket, four tickets in total, and the extra ticket can be used as a New Year's reward, to motivate everyone."

“No one wants to have a bad New Year, right? Let’s talk about next year’s affairs next year, and get through this year first.

Having said this, Director Yang shut up and leaned back on the sofa, waiting for the others to make a decision.

How could they not understand what was going on? Director Yang had given them a way out, so they naturally agreed.

Secretary Wang was the first to agree: "I personally think Director Yang's proposal is excellent. I accept it."

Li Huaide and Zhao Zhiyuan naturally did not refute, "I agree/I have no objection!"

Director Yang made the decision: "Okay, let's do this. We'll have the radio station announce this soon. We'll discuss the specific award details next week."

"Okay!" Several people nodded in agreement.

After the matter was settled, everyone left. I didn't expect that I could still resolve the matter before leaving get off work. It was really a surprise.

"The Red Star Steel Mill radio station is broadcasting a piece of news."

"In response to the current situation and the workers' low enthusiasm for work, the factory leaders decided to give bonuses and tickets to outstanding employees in each department every month as an encouragement."

"Here, I would like to encourage Comrade Erdan from the Fifth Workshop, Comrade Heizi from the Eighth Workshop, and other comrades. Even in such a situation, they still do not forget to improve their skills. I commend them and hope that other comrades will learn from them."

After listening to the broadcast, everyone's eyes lit up and they quickly looked at their co-workers beside them.

"Quick! Give me a slap. Is this true? Will the factory really give us bonuses and tickets?"

"This, this, this factory leader really thinks so. As long as you do a good job, the reward you get is not much better than a promotion."

"These bicycle tickets and sewing machine tickets were all hidden in the hands of the factory leaders. Now they are released. This is a huge investment!"

Everyone was shocked that the factory leaders were willing to spend so much money to release rare tickets.

Erdan, Heizi and other workers who were chosen to perform suddenly had tears in their eyes, unable to hide their excitement.

"Mom, I'm not a coward. My name was broadcasted and all the workers in the factory heard it."

"No, I have to work harder and not let the leaders down! I must get this title of outstanding worker!"

The moment after listening to the broadcast, the workers in the steel mill were as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They were full of strength and threw themselves into their work again.

Director Yang listened to the noise outside the window and for a moment thought that the steel mill had returned to its prosperous state and the workers were back to being full of energy.

"It would be great if that were the case, but it's a pity that this is only temporary. But let's wait and see after this year."

"Ding-ling-ling~" the bell for the end of get off work rang at the right time.

"Alas, why do I want to continue working after work? What a pity."

"Whatever you do, you have completed your task. There are no extra workpieces to do. Go back quickly."

"Okay, kid, let me go. Who are you doing this for? Stop pretending and get out of here." The worker dragged him away.

Everyone was very upset that they couldn't do it at the last minute to show Director Yang.

"Let's go home after get off work." Everyone went home leisurely and happily.

This gives us hope and motivation, and our spirit and energy are different.

Jia Dongxu went back with joy just like everyone else, but unlike everyone else, Jia Dongxu's joy was more of gloating.

Stopping the assessment means that no one can be upgraded, and if no one can be upgraded, everyone will naturally become lazy, which is exactly in line with Jia Dongxu's lazy behavior.

When others ask him why his work level has not been upgraded, Jia Dongxu will directly say that his skills have improved, but he cannot take the assessment now and cannot upgrade. This will stop others from gossiping and give him peace of mind.

With such thoughts in mind, why should Jia Dongxu be unhappy?

Jia Dongxu went straight home and was about to lie down comfortably on the bed when Qin Huairu came running over in a hurry.

"Dongxu, is what's being said outside true? The steel mill really can't be assessed, so everyone can't upgrade?"

Jia Dongxu smiled and said, "How could it be false? Director Yang has spoken, and it's even published in the newspapers. I dare not say anything else, but I don't think about it this year."

"Ah?" Qin Huairu sighed in disappointment, "Dongxu, if we can't upgrade, how are we going to survive? The food in the cellar will eventually run out."

"With our family's savings, it would be fine if we only lack food for one year, but if it lasts for two years, then we won't have enough to eat."

"If we don't make more money, our family will not be able to make ends meet next year."

Jia Dongxu was unimpressed: "Isn't there still a year left? Why rush? As long as there is enough food, it's fine. Besides, the assessment has been stopped, so I can't get promoted even if I want to."

"Is it possible that my salary of 38 yuan is not enough to support my family?"

Facing Jia Dongxu's questioning, Qin Huairu quickly waved her hands: "That's not what I meant, don't think too much."

"I'm just worried. I don't know when the food shortage will end. It's good that there's still food in the cellar, but the two little ones at home don't have much to eat. What if mom comes back?"

Hearing this, Jia Dongxu didn't know how to respond for a moment. Without Jia Zhang's gluttonous mouth, the family could save a lot of food.

"Don't worry about my mother's affairs for now. We'll talk about it later. Okay, let's go cook. I'll take a rest. I'm so tired every day." After saying that, Jia Dongxu lay down on the bed to rest.

"Oh!" Qin Huairu opened her mouth and wanted to say something but stopped herself. She looked at Jia Dongxu's back and finally just rolled her eyes. Did Jia Dongxu really think she knew nothing?

Qin Huairu has been in the Jia family for seven or eight years. If Jia Dongxu had not taken the opportunity to be promoted last year, he would most likely have been a first-class worker for his entire life. Why would he pretend to be so high and mighty?

She also said she was tired. When she went out, she heard other women complaining that Jia Dongxu didn't work and instead delegated the work to others while he himself rested.

"Hmph, his true colors were revealed just a few days after being in the foundry." Qin Huairu muttered softly and went to the kitchen to cook.

Jia Dongxu is not worried now, but next year he will be anxious and wonder why he did not take a more advanced exam. Only then he will realize that the salary of 38 yuan is not enough.

The other people in the yard had different feelings about not being able to take the assessment.

Unlike Qin Huairu's worries, the first and second aunts were not concerned about the assessment upgrade.

Yi Zhonghai is an eighth-level worker and there is no room for promotion.

Liu Haizhong is getting old, and his skills are not up to standard, so he cannot be promoted.

There are also people like Chen Tongjing in the backyard, who was promoted to the next level only last year and has not been able to be promoted for two or three years. He treats the assessment as a normal thing.

By next year or the year after, when the technology has improved, people will complain about why the assessment has not been reopened.

Of course there were also those who were worried, Yan Bugui being the most worried.

"Oh! Why did it stop operating? Once the steel mill stops operating, my school will be affected as well. It will also stop operating soon." Yan Bugui sighed.

"Boss, when do you think it will open?" asked the third aunt.

Yan Bugui helplessly replied: "Who knows? Whether it will be opened or not depends on the decision from above. We ordinary people should just wait patiently."

Yan Bugui is now a grade 10 primary school teacher. His salary has increased from 26.5 yuan to 29 yuan, plus a subsidy of 1 yuan, which means his monthly salary is 30 yuan.

However, it was still very difficult for him to improve his status as a small business owner. In addition, only a year had passed, so it was basically impossible to improve in a short period of time.

"Oh, if I had known that last year I would not have let that good seedling go out. Otherwise, maybe he could have skipped a grade." Yan Bugui hoped.

Last year, a good seedling emerged from his base. Yan Bugui met him right after he was promoted. He couldn't improve his position with him, and other teachers wanted this good seedling.

Yan Bugui thought about it and gave up. Of course, there were some disadvantages in this.

This year, this promising student won many awards, which directly led to a promotion of his teaching teacher. Yan Bugui was extremely envious, but he could do nothing about it.

Yan Bugui just complained that the school leaders would not sit idly by and watch a teacher get promoted twice in half a year and become a small business owner.

If other teachers knew about this, how would they view it?

"Damn it, there is no assessment? What did I miss?" Sha Zhu muttered to himself.

He had just come out of the hospital when he encountered this major incident. He was a little dazed for a moment. "I have only been in the hospital for a few days and it has changed so much? If this is not an assessment, what can I do with my skills?"

Sha Zhu is still a level nine cook. Although his cooking skills are unmatched in the kitchen, this level is very embarrassing.

Those whose cooking skills were worse than his became eighth-level workers.

This is also Shazhu's fault. During the assessment last year, he actually fought and made trouble, and even beat up the former canteen director. It was considered a bargain for him to be detained for only ten days.

If Sha Zhu's cooking skills weren't really good, Canteen Director Qian would have wanted to fire Sha Zhu from being a level nine cook and make him an apprentice, starting from scratch.

"Forget it, if I don't want to take the exam, then I won't take it. I'm not that good, but I'm a chef."

"Isn't it just about upgrading to make money? I can earn the difference by working as a waiter outside. You can take it yourself if you want." Sha Zhu quickly said generously.

As the saying goes, if the cook doesn't steal, the crops won't be harvested. So a cook like him could actually starve to death.

"Uncle, aunt, I'm here to eat for free again!" Sha Zhu shouted, and went straight to Yi's house to eat for free.

During the days that Sha Zhu was in the hospital, as expected, an old lady came to deliver meals.

The aunt was also puzzled. "He was discharged from the hospital just fine, but he went back to the hospital the next day when he went to work. Does Sha Zhu have a grudge against the hospital?"

As expected, the hospital expenses were also paid by Yi Zhonghai.

The Yi family cleans up Sha Zhu's mess, no wonder Sha Zhu is willing to be Yi Zhonghai's thug and provide for him in his old age.

Because of this, Sha Zhu became more and more concerned about the Yi family, and he also felt a little resentful that the old lady had not come for a long time.

Sha Zhu has been hospitalized twice and has been lying in bed for almost a month. The deaf old lady has never visited him once. Instead, an old lady comes to bring him meals every day, which is subtle and warm.

The comparison is obvious. No wonder Sha Zhu is willing to help Yi Zhonghai deal with other residents.
