That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1308 Are you deliberately trying to sow discord between me?
Although Li Ye disliked Director Han's style, the twenty employees and cadres who came to "visit and intern" were still from the Hongxing Factory. Since Director Han insisted, he could only notify the production department to settle the bill and release the people.

However, when the notice to release the people reached these visitors and interns, it was met with strong opposition and resistance.

"No, Director Wang, we've all been doing our jobs perfectly, why are you letting us go?"

"Yes, Director Wang, didn't we agree to work until the end of the month? Why are we suddenly being asked to leave?"

"."

A dozen or so workers from the Red Star Factory impatiently surrounded Wang Luyang, the workshop director, bombarding him with questions.

Wang Luyang said helplessly, "I just received the notice. It's your factory's Director Han who's coming to ask for your people. Not only do you have to leave, but the five cadres in the office also have to leave."

"I knew it was Lao Han who did this. Otherwise, why would the First Factory keep its word and let us leave ahead of time? Let's go find Lao Han."

"What? Was it really that old bastard Han Jinqu who did this? We're doing our internships here, are we eating his rice or his grain? It's one thing if he doesn't pay us, but we're out here to earn a little something, and he's getting jealous?"

"Ugh"

Wang Luyang sighed and said, "I don't know if you're envious or not, but I think I heard that your factory director Han suggested that he collect your wages, so you should go and collect them as soon as possible. We'll talk about any changes later."

Before Wang Luyang could finish speaking, the workers at the Red Star Factory erupted in anger.

"What? He wants to collect our wages?! I'll curse him out!"

"They're utterly heartless. They do this kind of thing in the factory, and they're still doing it here."

"Let's go, let's go find him. If he dares to touch a single penny of my salary today, I'll smash his head open with a hammer."

Workers are generally not very good-tempered, especially when a group of them get together and their common interests are violated. When they get angry, they'll fight back even if the King of Heaven himself comes along.

But when Wang Luyang saw these workers grabbing large wrenches and running towards the office, he quickly pulled the leaders back.

"Hey Qi Laosi, you can't be reckless! Your factory manager wants to collect your wages, but our factory manager hasn't agreed! You've been working here for almost a month, don't you know our rules? No one can infringe on the interests of our workers."

Old Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Director Wang, you don't know, our factory has only paid wages every three or four months for the past two years, and every time it's been shortchanged. They say the company is having difficulties, and everyone should coordinate their resources to get through this together."
But the workers' monthly salary is 85, and 40 is deducted from their salary, so they only get 45. The office workers' monthly salary is 120, and 40 is also deducted from their salary, so they only get 80.
Before we came to your branch factory, we hadn't been paid for two months, and our families hadn't seen meat for months on end.

We're all looking forward to getting paid at the end of the month so we can go home and see our kids, but that damn Han guy has to divert all our salaries to other people's accounts. Tell me, shouldn't he be killed?

"."

Seeing that Qi Laosi's eyes were welling up with tears as he spoke, Wang Luyang subconsciously echoed, "He truly deserves to die."

"Why kill them? Murder is illegal. Let's not stoop to their level. Let's go get our wages first and get the money in our hands."

Wang Luyang made a sudden change of words and at the same time reached out and snatched the large wrench from Qi Laosi's hand.

He completely understood the feelings of Qi Laosi and the others, but he absolutely could not allow any violence to occur.

When Qi Laosi and his group first came to his workshop for a "trial run," Wang Luyang didn't really like them much because he felt that older workers were more "slick" than younger ones and harder to manage.

However, after the two sides had more in-depth contact, Wang Luyang changed his mind.

These dozen or so workers were more hardworking than the apprentices who had just joined the factory; they worked like oxen, burying their heads in their work and trying their best to perform.
After talking to them a few times, Wang Luyang learned that they cherished this opportunity very much and hoped that after the merger of the two units, they could be transferred to work at the No. 1 factory instead of being selected to stay in the department.

Good opportunities usually don't come to us poor souls; it was only because Factory Director Li personally called our names that we were able to come for this internship.

Don't think this kind of scenario won't happen to Hongxing Factory. It's the same light vehicle company where Li Ye works. In the original timeline, that's how it ended. The joint venture's new factory was eventually merged into Han Dai, and those who stayed behind didn't even know who to contact for insurance. After Wang Luyang learned that Qi Laosi and the others were personally "selected" by Li Ye, he carefully examined them and determined that Qi Laosi and several other workers in their thirties and forties were technical backbones capable of taking on important responsibilities.

Wang Luyang had originally planned to keep them here, but unexpectedly he suddenly decided to leave.

. . . . . . . . .

After much persuasion, Wang Luyang managed to get a dozen workers to the factory's finance department to collect their wages. Then he discovered that Factory Director Han and the five cadres who had also come to inspect and intern were already waiting at the door.

Upon seeing Qi Laosi and the others arrive, Factory Director Han said with a stern face, "Master Qi, please come with me for a moment."

Qi Laosi glanced at Factory Director Han sideways, then said coldly, "What are you going there for? Are you going to lecture us again about considering the big picture and handing over the wages that the branch factory gives us to you for unified distribution?"

Factory Director Han was stunned.

He hadn't expected his conversation with Li Ye to be leaked so quickly, and that it would even reach Qi Laosi and the others.

What he didn't expect was that Qi Laosi would dare to openly question him in front of outsiders.

Factory Director Han said with a stern face, "Qi Laosi, I haven't taken your salary. Besides, don't forget your place; you're from the Red Star Factory."

Before Director Han could finish speaking, Qi Laosi laughed and cursed, "I'm from the Red Star Factory? You still know we're human? I thought you were going to treat us like cattle and horses!"

You've really gotten smarter, huh!

Factory Director Han was furious.

He originally wanted to remind Qi Laosi that his personnel file was still at the Red Star Factory! "I'll have plenty of ways to control you when I get back, so don't go too far with me."

As a result, Qi Laosi actually adopted a "what's the use" attitude. Did he not want Hongxing Factory's salary anymore?

Hongxing Factory only pays wages for one month every three months, so that's four months a year!
Moreover, there are issues such as housing, medical care, and household registration. In some ways, Director Han is their local tyrant.

When business is slow, it's easier to manipulate people.

For a month's wages at the No. 1 factory, he cut himself off from Hongxing and from my Hanjinqu?
Looking for death?
What are you all arguing about outside?

A young woman suddenly appeared in the finance department. She was young, but she had quite a presence.

He shouted at Director Han and Qi Laosi, "If you have any conflicts, you can argue about them when you get back, but don't let them affect our work."

Qi Laosi quickly said, "I'm sorry, young lady, we've disturbed you. We're here to collect our wages. How would you like to receive them?"

"Of course, it's one person leading another."

The young woman glanced at Director Han and then said, "However, I need to correct you. Since you are not employees of our company, you are not receiving wages, but living allowances. You should go back to Hongxing Factory and ask your company for your wages this month!"

Qi Laosi was stunned.

Is it possible to receive double the money?

Han Jinqu died of anger.

[Damn it, is this some kind of deliberate attempt to sow discord?]
