Chapter 708 Reported

The next morning, almost all the Jia family members went out.

Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu accompanied Bang Geng and came to the steel rolling mill in a rage, wanting to pick up the broken projector and went straight to the cinema.

However, they never expected that as soon as they arrived at the steel mill, they heard a broadcast floating above the steel mill.

"According to reports from many parties and the factory's investigation, Jia Geng, a projectionist at our factory, became detached from the masses and took bribes during his trip to the countryside to support rural production and construction, which seriously damaged the glorious image of our factory.

The following measures have been taken as decided by the Party Committee of our factory:

1. Yu Jiageng will be given a serious warning and sent to the workshop for three months for reform.

2. Confiscate Jia Geng’s illegal gains of RMB 132 and impose a fine of RMB 200.”

The loudspeaker broadcast the announcement three times in a loop, and the Jia family of three just listened to it three times in a daze, while being pointed at and criticized by many workers.

Qin Huairu was going crazy.

I haven’t even collected the 600 yuan yet, and I’ve been fined more than 300 yuan. Where can I get the money?

Moreover, this serious punishment means that it will be difficult for Banggeng to upgrade his level in the future, his salary will not increase, and he will not receive any honors.

Bang Geng's fingers were almost digging into the flesh, and his expression was even more ferocious.

Reports from multiple parties indicate that someone wants to harm me.

who is it?

A lot of quarreling scenes in the countryside suddenly emerged in his mind. It must have been those peasants.

MD, I will never forgive them again!

"Let's go to the Propaganda Department first."

Qin Huairu reacted the fastest and pulled the stick directly into the steel rolling mill.

When Jia Zhang reacted and was about to start cursing, she found that she was left outside the factory.

"Qin Huairu, Banggeng, wait for me."

She trotted after him, but was stopped outside the gate by the guard.

Jia Zhang still wanted to force her way in, but when she saw the muzzle of the gun being raised, all the words she wanted to say died in her throat.

On the other side, Qin Huairu and Bang Geng went straight to the Propaganda Department and knocked on the door of the deputy chief's office amid the strange looks of many staff members.

"Chief Zhang, what happened to my son? Why was he punished?"

Qin Huairu asked directly.

As an old worker in the factory with nearly 20 years’ experience, she has the confidence.

Section Chief Zhang was an old man with a Mediterranean appearance. When he saw Bang Geng entering the office accompanied by Qin Huairu, he didn't find it strange and just knocked on the table.

There was a pile of letters on it, at least a dozen of them, and on the cover of the top one were clearly written the words "Report Letter".

Qin Huairu quickly opened it and started reading, and her heart immediately sank.

After so many years, she has gained some understanding of the unspoken rules of officialdom.

When no one knows about it, big things can be turned into small things, and small things can be turned into nothing. There is always some room for maneuver.

But if the matter becomes a big deal, no matter how small it is, the factory will show an attitude.

As for the good jokes, broadcasting is an attitude.

Show it to the people in the factory and also to the villagers in the countryside.

Banggeng also opened a letter, which recounted what he had done in the countryside over the past year, which were basically all facts.

His eyebrows raised and he almost exploded with anger.

He could barely accept being reported, but he couldn't stand being stabbed in the back by those peasants he looked down upon.

Just as he was about to get angry, Qin Huairu grabbed his hand.

"Chief Zhang, my son Bang Geng has caused trouble for the factory. Do you think the punishment is too severe? You should at least give our son Bang Geng a chance to reform."

"Qin Huairu, don't disbelieve me. This is already the lightest punishment in the factory! Look at this."

As he spoke, Section Chief Zhang handed a phone record to Qin Huairu.

"More than a dozen villages have reported the matter to the commune, and several communes have asked the factory to deal with it seriously. What do you want the factory to do?"

"I just took some local specialties. It doesn't need to make a big deal to report it to the commune, right?" Qin Huairu said with a wry smile.

The stick stuck to his neck and he couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Why is it okay for Xu Damao to take things from his fellow villagers, but it's okay for me to take things?"

Section Chief Zhang looked at Bang Geng as if he were a fool.

To be honest, he didn't like this idiot at all. He had no idea about the ways of the world. The difference between him and Xu Damao was even greater than the difference between him and a dog.

"Xu Damao has been showing movies in the countryside for 20 years. What is his relationship with the villagers? What is your relationship with the villagers?

How does Xu Damao get along with the villagers? How do you get along with them?

Xu Damao has been showing movies for so many years, but he hasn't received a single letter of complaint. How about you? Look at you. It's only been a short time, but you've received so many letters of complaint!"

"Xu Damao taught me how to take things. I did the same thing as him. Why do you report me but not him?"

When Section Chief Zhang heard Banggeng's brainless words, he almost laughed out loud.

"Same thing, Jia Geng. I heard that you are very proud of your position as a projectionist and have often said that rural people are just dirt-legged peasants and look down on them. Is that true?"

"No! No~"

Before Bang Geng could finish, Qin Huairu responded to Section Chief Zhang's words.

"I am from the countryside, and so is his grandmother. How could he look down on country people? That's not true."

Section Chief Zhang shook his head.

"Qin Huairu, you don't have to cover up for your son. You know exactly what kind of person he is."

Qin Huairu showed a hint of embarrassment and did not answer.

Section Chief Zhang didn't take it seriously.

"The matter has been settled. You need to pay the fine as soon as possible within a week. The factory will not investigate further."

Then he looked at Bang Geng again.

"I heard from Aunt Jin in the equipment department that you rarely went to the equipment room to maintain the projector in the past two years. Is that true?"

"No, I go there quite often."

“How often do you go there?”

"One month."

Bang Geng said that he was not confident enough.

Section Chief Zhang nodded.

"Xu Damao taught you projection technology. Didn't he tell you that every time he came back from the countryside, he would stay in the equipment room for two hours to do maintenance on the machines?"

Banggeng curled his lips. He was like this at the beginning.

But after a long time, I felt that it was not necessary.

It's not like the factory doesn't allow wear and tear, so why be so meticulous?

But Banggeng didn’t know that in the hearts of the older generation, they valued the guy they fed their children with so much that they were afraid that he would get hurt.

Section Chief Zhang understood what Banggeng meant from his expression and looked at Qin Huairu.

"Xu Damao has been using the machine for seven or eight years, and it is still about 80% new. Your son has only been using it for more than a year, and it is still about 60% new, and many parts are brittle.

If he had maintained the machine more diligently, I believe the machine would not have fallen so badly.

It's not that the factory doesn't care about the lives of the workers, nor is it that they are heartless, but after all, such an expensive machine was broken, so I'll pay 500 yuan as compensation, is that okay with you?"

"No, no~"

Qin Huairu replied hurriedly.

It’s a hundred less than expected, but I’m definitely willing to do it.

She was just happy, but she didn't know that Section Chief Zhang continued, "Qin Huairu, you can see that Jia Geng is not good at dealing with people, and he doesn't have the patience and perseverance to do such a delicate job as a projectionist. I suggest that he change his job."
