Chapter 756 Liu Haizhong's Struggle 10
He Yuzhu stood in the noisy crowd in the cafeteria, holding the plate tightly in his hand, and secretly complaining in his heart. Look at the bangs, the wind blows when he walks, and he looks like he wants to carve the words "I am the team leader" on his forehead so that everyone in the world knows. He is not low-key at all, it is obvious that he is afraid that others don't know that he has just taken office, and he is very proud of it. He Yuzhu couldn't help muttering in his heart, with his posture, why is he still pretending here, really thinking that others are blind and can't see his little thoughts.
But even if he thought so in his heart, He Yuzhu's face was still full of smiles, and that smile was just right, as if it was pasted on. He quickly responded to Liu Haizhong and said, "Don't worry, Team Leader Liu, I don't have any other skills, but I'm very tight-lipped. I will definitely not say a word about what you told me to do, so you can put your mind at ease." That tone, that attitude, was as sincere as it could be, as if Liu Haizhong was his immediate superior and he had to curry favor with him.
After listening to He Yuzhu's words, Liu Haizhong nodded with satisfaction, his chin almost lifted to the sky. He walked slowly in the cafeteria with his arrogant steps, holding the plate, looking here and there, as if he was inspecting his territory. In his heart, he was thinking about finding a seat that could best show his "status". In his eyes, the seats in the cafeteria are very particular, and where to sit can reflect his status and prestige as a team leader.
He looked around, his eyes like a searchlight, sweeping over every seat; he looked around, as if comparing which seat was more in line with his temperament as a "team leader". Finally, his eyes fell on a seat by the window. The light was very good at that seat, and the sun shone through the window onto the dining table, making it warm. And you could see the scenery outside by the window, how magnificent. Liu Haizhong's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smug smile, as if that seat was a throne specially made for him as a "team leader". He swaggered over and sat down, and deliberately put the dinner plate on the table, making a "clang" sound, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he had sat down.
As for He Yuzhu, after finishing his meal, he took his plate and deliberately walked around the cafeteria, then walked to a place not too far from Liu Haizhong and sat down. This distance would not make Liu Haizhong feel that he was deliberately distancing himself, nor would it make him feel that He Yuzhu was deliberately trying to curry favor with him. He Yuzhu ate his meal slowly, glancing at Liu Haizhong from the corner of his eyes from time to time. Looking at Liu Haizhong's smug look, he couldn't help but ponder in his heart. Liu Haizhong is so arrogant just after becoming a team leader, who knows what kind of trouble he will cause in the future. Maybe one day he will do something out of line because he is too proud, and then there will be something interesting to watch. As He Yuzhu thought about it, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smirk.
The afternoon work bell rang as usual, with an irresistible sense of urging, "ding-ling-ling--" suddenly exploded above the workshop. The crisp yet urgent sound, like an invisible command, instantly broke the laziness and leisure of the workshop during the lunch break, and the entire workshop quickly returned to its former busy scene. The roar of the machines sounded again, one after another, like an exciting labor symphony, and the workers also stood up from their respective rest corners and quickly devoted themselves to the intense work.
As the new team leader, Liu Haizhong was full of energy at the moment, thinking about performing well so that everyone would know that he was not a team leader for nothing. He walked around the workshop slowly with his hands behind his back, taking what he thought was a very dignified pace. His eyes were like a scanner, scanning every worker's work area, not missing any details.
He first walked to Xiao Li's workstation. Xiao Li was concentrating on operating the machine. His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. It was obvious that he was working very hard. But Liu Haizhong didn't care about that. He stopped and stared at Xiao Li's movements. His brows were slightly furrowed, and a look of dissatisfaction appeared on his face. He cleared his throat and said loudly: "Xiao Li, you are not doing a good job! Look at your speed, it's too slow! Our team has a production task. If you dawdle like this, you will drag our team down! You have to speed up, understand?" The tone was like scolding a primary school student who made a mistake, stern and a little disdainful.
Xiao Li felt aggrieved when he heard this. He had clearly been working very hard, but Liu Haizhong only saw his slowness and did not understand his hard work. However, Xiao Li could not get angry, so he could only suppress his dissatisfaction, raised his head, forced a smile, and nodded, saying, "Leader Liu, I understand. I will try to speed up."
Seeing Xiao Li being so obedient, Liu Haizhong was very proud and walked to Lao Wang's workstation. Lao Wang was an experienced master who had worked in the workshop for many years and his skills were impeccable. But Liu Haizhong was nitpicking. He picked up a part that Lao Wang had just processed, looked at it carefully, then curled his lips and said, "Lao Wang, look at the precision of your processing of this part, it's a little off! For us in this business, the most important thing is to ensure quality, we can't be careless! What if there is a problem when it reaches the customer?"
Lao Wang was a little unhappy after hearing this. He had been doing this for so many years and had never been told this before. He put down the tools in his hands, raised his head, and looked at Liu Haizhong with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes, but he still said patiently: "Team Leader Liu, the precision of my parts is in accordance with the standard. Maybe there is something wrong with the angle when you looked at it. Let me check it carefully again."
The workers all nodded in agreement, but they were all a little dissatisfied. They whispered to each other: "Liu Haizhong doesn't usually do his job well, but now he's the team leader and he's showing off. He really thinks he's a big shot!" "That's right, he doesn't even know how powerful he is, but he's just bossing people around."
Yi Zhonghai watched all this from the side, his brows furrowed tightly again, like two small hills. He knew very well in his heart that if Liu Haizhong continued like this, it would easily cause everyone's disgust. The most important thing for a group is unity. Only when everyone works together can the work be done well. But after Liu Haizhong's tossing, everyone felt uncomfortable, which was not conducive to the unity of the group and the development of work. He thought about it and felt that he couldn't let it go on like this. He had to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Liu Haizhong, let him understand his problem, and stop tossing around like this.
After finally getting to the end of the workday, the melodious and relieved bell rang happily in the workshop. The bell was like a horn of victory for the workers. Everyone was instantly pulled away from their busy work, with a relieved smile on their faces, and began to pack up their tools, ready to end this long and tiring day.
Yi Zhonghai had been keeping an eye on Liu Haizhong's movements. Seeing that he was about to leave, he quickly stepped forward, patted Liu Haizhong's shoulder gently, and said loudly: "Old Liu, wait a moment, I have something to tell you." There was a firmness in his voice that could not be refused.
At this time, Liu Haizhong was immersed in the joy of becoming a team leader, and his mind was full of scenes of himself "calling the shots" in the workshop in the future. He was walking briskly, thinking about how to show off to his family after returning home that he had become a team leader, and was suddenly stopped by Yi Zhonghai, and he felt a little reluctant. He stopped, turned around, and forced a perfunctory smile on his face, and said: "Master Yi, what's the matter? I'm in a hurry to go home. My wife and children are waiting for me to go back for dinner. Can we talk about it tomorrow?" His tone was full of urgency to leave.
Yi Zhonghai sighed secretly at Liu Haizhong's nonchalant look, but still reached out and pulled him to a relatively quiet corner of the workshop. This corner was usually seldom visited by people, and there were some sundries piled around it, which was just right to avoid the sight of other workers and facilitate them to have a good talk.
After Yi Zhonghai stood still, he put his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly, his eyes full of concern and worry, and said earnestly: "Old Liu, you just became the team leader today, you have to pay attention to some things. You were pointing fingers at the workers in the workshop just now, which is not good. Look at those workers, although they all nodded in agreement on the surface, they must have their own ideas in their hearts. If our team wants to do a good job, it is not based on your orders and accusations, but on uniting everyone, so that everyone can think in one direction and work in one direction. Only when everyone works together can we improve work efficiency and ensure product quality." As Yi Zhonghai spoke, he gently patted Liu Haizhong's arm, trying to make him listen to his words.
After listening to Yi Zhonghai's words, Liu Haizhong felt a little dissatisfied. He felt that Yi Zhonghai was deliberately picking on him because he was jealous of him becoming the team leader. He frowned, crossed his arms, and retorted: "Master Yi, I am doing this for the good of the team. Those workers are not serious about their work. If I don't take care of them, how can the work be carried out? As the team leader, I have to take this responsibility and set strict requirements on them, so as to ensure the progress of our team's work." There was a hint of stubbornness and dissatisfaction in his tone, as if he was the one who made the most sense.
"Master Yi, I'm doing this for work. Our team's output and quality must be improved. How can I not strictly require them?"
Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "It's right to be strict, but you also have to pay attention to the methods. You have to understand everyone's situation first, encourage them more, and let everyone do their work willingly. If you criticize them right away, everyone will definitely feel uncomfortable."
Although Liu Haizhong still felt a little disapproving in his heart, he nodded on the surface.
"Okay, Master Yi, I understand. I will pay attention next time."
Yi Zhonghai looked at him and knew that he didn't really listen, but he could only shake his head helplessly.
In the following days, Liu Haizhong continued to do what he wanted. He felt that as a team leader, he should act like a team leader. The workers became increasingly dissatisfied with him, and the atmosphere in the team became somewhat tense.
On this day, the workshop received an urgent order, requiring a batch of parts to be processed in a short time. As the team leader, Liu Haizhong was naturally responsible for organizing everyone to complete this task.
He stood in the middle of the workshop and shouted, "Everyone listen carefully. This order is very important and we must complete it on time. From now on, everyone must work overtime. If anyone slacks off, don't blame me for being rude."
After hearing this, the workers were somewhat reluctant but had no choice but to start working.
However, some problems arose during the processing. Because Liu Haizhong did not provide enough technical guidance to the workers, and everyone had some complaints about him, they were a bit perfunctory when working, which led to problems with the processing quality of the parts.
When the factory's quality inspectors came to check, they found a lot of substandard parts. When the factory leader learned about it, he was furious and called Liu Haizhong to his office.
"Liu Haizhong, what happened to you? This order is so important, and you actually messed up the quality. Do you have the ability to be the team leader?"
Liu Haizhong lowered his head, not daring to breathe. He was afraid and regretful, regretting that he did not listen to Yi Zhonghai and did not unite everyone.
After coming out of the factory leader's office, Liu Haizhong returned to the workshop with his head drooped like an eggplant hit by frost. He looked at the workers' cold eyes and felt a sharp pain in his heart.
At this time, Yi Zhonghai came over.
"Lao Liu, don't lose heart. This is a lesson. If we work hard in the future, we can still do a good job. First, apologize to everyone, and then we can discuss how to solve this problem together."
Liu Haizhong hesitated for a moment, then mustered up his courage, walked up to the workers and bowed deeply.
"Brothers and sisters, it's my fault. I didn't do my job well and made you all feel wronged. I apologize to everyone. I will definitely correct my mistakes in the future. Let's do a good job together."
The workers felt much less angry when they saw his sincere look.
"Team Leader Liu, we are also wrong. Let's work together."
Since then, Liu Haizhong has really changed. He is no longer arrogant, but humbly learns from the workers and cares about everyone's life and work. Under his leadership, the team's work is getting better and better, and he has truly won everyone's respect and trust.
