Siheyuan: Start with a big car

When Deputy Director Wang saw Li Weidong was also in the office, he was stunned for a moment.

You have to know that he had already thought about how to slander Li Weidong on the way.

Now that the real culprit is here, what can we do?
Director Yang looked up at Deputy Director Wang and asked, "Old Wang, what happened? Why are you so anxious?"

These words woke Deputy Director Wang from his shock.

He realized that he seemed to have made a small mistake just now.

So what if Li Weidong is here?

After all, there is such a big mess in front of the factory gate.

Thinking of this, Deputy Director Wang calmed down and said:

“This is what happened.

Now there are many old workers at the factory gate opposing Comrade Li Weidong.

I saw that they were very emotional and tried to explain to them, but they didn't listen. The situation is very chaotic now. If it continues like this, something serious might happen."

The meaning of this statement is very clear. It is a warning to Director Yang that if he continues to protect Li Weidong at this time, Director Yang will also be implicated if there is any trouble in the future.

This was the first time Director Yang had heard of this. He frowned and said:

"What happened? Why is someone causing trouble?"

Deputy Director Wang explained the situation and took the opportunity to say:

"Director Yang, although Chief Li of the Security Department is loyal to his duties, he does not consider the overall situation.

What if we anger the workers? So now I ask you to take charge of the situation and we need to get this matter cleared up."

After listening to this, Director Yang frowned. He knew very well that if he showed up, the workers would definitely stop him.

But it would not be appropriate to let the workers cause trouble without him stepping in.

At this time Li Weidong spoke.

"Director Yang, since this matter was caused by our processing plant laboratory, then I think I have the right to speak."

When Deputy Director Wang saw Li Weidong speak, he instinctively felt that something was wrong.

He wanted to stop it, but found that he had no reason to.

Director Yang looked at Li Weidong and asked:
"Comrade Weidong, what do you think?"

"I think we should leave this matter to the leaders of the ministry. After all, the workers are already emotional now. They won't listen no matter if you or I, the workshop director, come forward."

Hearing this, Director Yang nodded and said:

"It seems like this is the only way."

Li Weidong then made a phone call and personally contacted the leader of the ministry and reported the situation there.

When the leaders of the ministry heard that the old workers in the steel mill opposed the steel mill laboratory's recruitment plan, they became furious.

“Do these people really think that they can become the masters of the factory just by working in it for decades?

Comrade Weidong, don't worry, we will immediately send someone to assist you in handling this matter."

The leaders of the ministry attached great importance to it and quickly set up a coordination group.

At this time, Deputy Director Wang, Li Weidong and Director Yang also arrived at the gate of the steel rolling mill.

Li Weidong immediately saw Liu Haizhong in the crowd.

When Liu Haizhong was glanced at by Li Weidong, he turned pale with fright and quickly moved closer to the crowd, hoping to hide.

But just as he entered the crowd, someone kicked him in the butt and he staggered out.

Liu Haizhong was furious and turned his head away but didn't find out who had done it.

Director Yang stood in the crowd and shouted:

What are you doing? I tell you, if you dare to cause trouble here, you will delay our production work."

Deputy Director Wang pretended to persuade:

"Director Yang, don't worry. The leaders in the department have already come down to deal with this matter. We'll be able to figure it out in a while."

What he meant by this was actually to secretly tell Liu Haizhong and the workers not to be afraid.

But Liu Haizhong and those workers' faces changed immediately.

You know, they dare to make trouble in front of the factory leaders.

That’s because the factory generally does not have the right to fire them, but if they do this in front of the leaders of the ministry, they might be fired directly.

Liu Haizhong said fearfully: "This is just a small matter, how could it alarm the leaders in the department?"

Deputy Director Wang cursed this guy in his heart for wanting to be a deserter, and snorted coldly and reminded him: "Liu Haizhong, now the matter has become so serious that it has alarmed the leaders in the department.

This matter must be investigated thoroughly.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Haizhong's face suddenly changed and he dared not say a word.

He knew very well that if he left now, he would not only fail to escape the blame, but would also offend Deputy Director Wang.

Besides, now that they have the support of the workers, they don’t have to be afraid of Li Weidong at all.

The scene was at a stalemate.

Half an hour later, two cars drove over from a distance.

After the car stopped, four or five leaders from the departments got out.

Director Yang quickly stepped forward, shook hands with the leaders in the department, and gave a brief introduction of the situation.

"We are so sorry. If it weren't for the special circumstances, we wouldn't have disturbed you."

Director Zhang in the department waved his hand and said:
"Old Yang, to be honest, as a factory leader, you did not do a good job this time.

Comrade Li Weidong has made such a great contribution to your factory. You didn't protect such an excellent talent, but instead allowed these people to cause such a big mess. You will be criticized for doing this."

Director Yang nodded repeatedly.

"Don't worry, leaders. When this matter is over, I will personally review it to my superiors."

When Deputy Director Wang heard this, his heart skipped a beat. It was obvious that the leaders in the department had already made a judgment on the matter.

He walked forward, smiled awkwardly and said:

"Director Zhang, we should base our actions on facts. Now that the matter has not been thoroughly investigated, should we not jump to conclusions?"

Director Zhang took a deep look at Deputy Director Wang, as if he had noticed something, but he was a senior leader after all, with extensive work experience, so he did not comment on Deputy Director Wang.

Director Zhang walked up to the workers and asked:

"What do you want? We are here to solve your problems. You are all messing around here and you can't figure out what's going on. Please send a representative."

When Liu Haizhong heard that they were going to send a representative, he immediately became anxious. He turned his head and looked at Yi Zhonghai and said:
"Lao Yi, you are a level 9 worker, you can be the representative."

Are you kidding? Liu Haizhong knew very well that even if they pulled Li Weidong down this time, he would be in trouble in the future because he opposed the decision of the department.

Yi Zhonghai quickly waved his hand and said:
"Liu Haizhong, that was all in the past. I am just a temporary worker now. How can I be qualified to be a representative? I think you are the most capable among our group of people and are most suitable to be a leader, so you should be the representative."

Having said this, Yi Zhonghai looked at the workers and said:
"Didn't the big guy say so?"

Those workers were also very cunning, and naturally supported Yi Zhonghai's statement at this time.

"That's right, that's right. This matter was originally Liu Haizhong's idea. He deserves to be the representative."

"I think none of us can compete with Liu Haizhong."

"Liu Haizhong, you are our representative."

Several workers even pushed Liu Haizhong out of the crowd.

Liu Haizhong was pushed in front of Director Zhang. Facing the dignified look of Director Zhang, he shuddered with fear.

"Hello, leader."

"What's your name? Which workshop are you from?"

Liu Haizhong had no choice but to answer.

"Boss, my name is Liu Haizhong, and I work in the forging workshop of the steel rolling mill."

"What on earth is the reason why you are gathered here?"

Liu Haizhong took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said:
"We strongly object to Li Weidong's blocking of us old workers from entering the steel mill laboratory workshop."

Then Liu Haizhong angrily recounted the situation.

“We are all people who have made great contributions.

Li Weidong is looking down on us and the workers by doing this. "

This is what it means to put a label on someone.

Director Zhang glanced at Liu Haizhong calmly and asked:

"Liu Haizhong, let me ask you now, do you know what conditions are needed to assemble a TV?"

Liu Haizhong frowned. "Leader, what you said is wrong.

Who is born with the ability? Just like when I entered the forging workshop, I knew nothing, but I had mastered the relevant skills in just half a month.

If we are excluded just because of these, we will not accept it."

"Okay, since you are not convinced, I will make you convinced now." After saying that, Director Zhang turned his head and looked at Li Weidong.

"Comrade Weidong, I'd like you to bring some spare parts for the TV."

The workers all felt a little strange when they heard this.

"What we are discussing now is whether we, the old workers, can do the work of assembling TV sets. What can we do with the spare parts?"

"Yeah, is this leader at his wit's end and wants to delay time?"

"He made the wrong decision this time. I have made up my mind today. If they don't give me an explanation, I will never give in."

The workers didn't know what Director Zhang was going to do, but Li Weidong understood it very well.

He asked Chief Li to go to the steel mill laboratory and ask the researchers to bring back the spare parts of the TV.

A moment later, Xiao Wang from the laboratory came running over panting, holding a wooden box.

Director Zhang pointed to the wooden box and said:
"Master Liu Haizhong, since you are an experienced worker and you are confident that you can assemble a TV, here are the materials for the TV. Now assemble it in front of everyone."

Liu Haizhong was a little confused. "But I don't know how to assemble a TV at all. I need training for this."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. I'm not asking you to assemble a complete TV. You just need to twist the wires inside the TV together." Director Zhang said lightly.

When Liu Haizhong heard this was simple, he immediately rolled up his sleeves.

Are you kidding? He is a senior master chef, and he can’t even twist a few threads?
Liu Haizhong strode forward and opened the box. Just one look inside and his scalp suddenly felt numb.

There are densely packed connectors on the circuit board inside, and each connector is very thin, some are as small as sewing needles, and some are even smaller than sewing needles.

"Such a small thread? Why not make it bigger?"

Director Zhang turned his head and looked at Li Weidong. "Comrade Weidong, please explain to this guy too."

Li Weidong smiled and said: "The size of the wire ends is related to the amount of power consumption. If ordinary wires are used, the power consumption of a TV will be dozens of times higher, and it is also very easy to malfunction. Therefore, all TVs now use integrated circuit boards."

Although the workers did not know anything about electrification, they had heard of this and nodded frequently.

Seeing this, Liu Haizhong had no choice but to grit his teeth and stretch out his fat fingers to twist the thread.

But when he twisted his fingers twice, he failed to twist the thread ends together and his fingers were scratched instead.

The workers who were watching also noticed something.

"It seems that this thing is really not suitable for us old masters. Take me for example, my eyes are already a little presbyopic, and I can't see clearly at all."

"Yes, we can do some heavy work, but delicate work like this should be left to the young people."

"Liu Haizhong really went too far in making trouble because of this."

When Liu Haizhong heard these words, he became anxious. He gritted his teeth, stretched out the injured finger, and tried to twist the thread again. He finally twisted the thread ends together.

"Boss, I've screwed it."

Director Zhang glanced at him calmly and said, "Liu Haizhong, you just spent 20 minutes twisting this thread. According to the normal working speed of workers, this kind of thread only takes two seconds at most. Do you think you are qualified for this job?"

This is what it means to speak with facts.

Liu Haizhong now knew that he had no way to defend himself, so he could only lower his head awkwardly and said, "Leader, I misunderstood Comrade Li Weidong. I hereby solemnly apologize to Comrade Li Weidong."

Director Zhang glanced at Li Weidong and asked him how to deal with the matter.

Li Weidong smiled.

"Liu Haizhong, you caused such a big mess today and alarmed so many people. Is it enough to just apologize?"

Liu Haizhong's face changed drastically. "Li Weidong, what do you want?"

"According to the rules of our steel mill, I can fire you right now."

Hearing this, Liu Haizhong turned pale with fright. You know, he now earns seventy or eighty yuan a month.

"Li Weidong, I really didn't mean to target you. I was deceived by others and became their scapegoat."

Li Weidong glanced at Deputy Factory Director Wang, then turned to look at Liu Haizhong and asked:
"Liu Haizhong, tell me the truth. Who is supporting you behind the scenes? If you can tell me the truth, I might be able to give you a lighter punishment."

At this time, Deputy Director Wang felt his calves go weak.

Everyone's eyes fell on Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong wiped the sweat from his forehead, suddenly turned around, pointed at the crowd and said:

"It was Yi Zhonghai, the old man who told me to do this."
