That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 831 Sitting together
"Do you know why I hit you?"

"I don't know! Just now, the technician from Workshop 8 called our technical team, and I hurried over to report to you."

"The technician called you?"

Li Ye was a little confused. Normally, shouldn't the workshop director report the fight directly to the two factory managers? Why did the technician report it?
However, when Li Ye called Workshop 8, no one answered the call.

"Forget it, Lao Lu, let's drive over there right away."

Anyway, the hydraulic equipment factory is not far from the first branch factory, and it only takes five or six minutes to step on the accelerator.

After Wen Leyu invested in the hydraulic equipment factory, he built many modern workshops, and Li Ye then rented many of them for personal gain.

The eighth workshop that has had the accident is the one responsible for assembling vehicle chassis. It is responsible for installing chassis components such as engines, gearboxes, axles, wheels, etc. on the frame. Most of the workers in the workshop are on the front line.

The front-line workers in the first branch have the highest salaries among those in the factory because they receive job subsidies, performance subsidies, and overtime subsidies. So Li Ye couldn't understand why the workers in the eighth workshop would beat someone up over wages.

When Li Ye's car drove directly to the door of the eighth workshop, he found that the situation on the scene was a bit complicated, because all the college and technical school students who came to the first branch for internship were there, and they were obviously gathered together, arguing and confronting with the workers of the eighth branch.

Li Ye asked Xiao Zhu helplessly: "Didn't you say on the phone just now that this matter has anything to do with the intern?"

Xiao Zhu said dully, "I don't know! By the way, that Xiao Zhiyu is from the computer room. The person who called me said that someone from the computer room was also beaten up. Maybe it was her."

"Maybe it's her? But is it true or not? Oh!"

Li Ye shook his head and did not continue to blame Xiao Zhu who knew nothing. After all, he was a science and engineering man who was proficient in technology, and you couldn't expect him to know everything, right?

Seeing Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang coming, the workers who had gathered together immediately made way for them.

"Director Lu is here, Director Li is here, everyone please get out of the way and calm down."

Li Ye's prestige in the first branch factory was still quite high. When he walked into the crowd with a sullen face, everyone stepped back unconsciously and kept a distance from him.

When he reached the center of the crowd, Li Ye saw that Zhang Xiaoshuai, the accountant in the Finance Department, had swollen eyes, and Xiao Zhiyu, the typist in the computer room, also had a red face, obviously having just cried.

Among the dozen or so interns gathered together, several had signs of fighting on their bodies and everyone had anger on their faces.

Lu Zhizhang's face immediately turned gloomy.

This was no longer an ordinary beating incident. Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang had already reached a consensus that this group of college and technical secondary school students must find a way to stay. Now they were in opposition to the workers, which had a huge impact.

"Chen Zihe, what's going on here?"

Lu Zhizhang started by questioning Chen Zihe, the director of Workshop 8, in a stern tone.

Chen Zihe explained in a panic, "It's like this, Director. Our workshop 8 received this month's payroll today and found that the amount was different from what we calculated, so we reported it to the finance department."

"The Finance Department sent someone to check with us this afternoon, and then...then an argument broke out. As you know, frontline workers have bad tempers and can easily..."

"Bad temper? One careless moment?"

Li Ye looked at Chen Zihe in surprise and said sarcastically, "I have a bad temper too. If I accidentally punch you right now, do you think it's appropriate?"

Chen Zihe took a step back unconsciously, and then explained stubbornly: "Deputy Director Li, this is their fault. They randomly deducted the wages of our workshop 8. There are more than 80 people in our workshop, and none of them escaped. All of them had their wages deducted."

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood something.

At this time, Zhang Xiaoshuai also said angrily: "Why are we deducting your wages? There was a serious technical accident in your workshop 8 last month. We calculated the wages according to the regulations."

"You said that our salary was miscalculated, so I immediately brought the computer technicians to check with you. But you started beating me up after we barely said three sentences. That's too much of a bully."

Chen Zihe was also unconvinced and shouted: "Are you checking with us? You said we are illiterate and uneducated, and college students are so great? College students are finding ways to deduct our money!"

As soon as Chen Zihe finished speaking, more than a dozen college and technical school students became unhappy.

"You are just uneducated rough men, and you are wrong?"

"That's right, hitting people randomly is too bullying!"

"."

Li Ye frowned and glanced at Xiao Zhiyu.

The wages of the first branch were entered into the computer, and the pay slips were also printed by the computer. It was not unreasonable for Xiao Zhiyu to follow the people from the Finance Department to check the wages.
But how could she say that the workers in Workshop 8 were uneducated? She seemed to be a very smart girl!

Xiao Zhiyu was indeed a smart man. After seeing Li Ye's eyes, he immediately said to the workers in Workshop 8 headed by Chen Zihe: "Let's stop arguing." "Now that the two factory directors and the leaders of the labor union are here, let's explain what happened calmly and let the leaders judge it! Otherwise, everyone will argue endlessly and hurt the feelings between colleagues."

Li Ye looked at Lu Zhizhang, nodded to each other, then pointed at Xiao Zhiyu and said, "You go first."

Xiao Zhiyu said calmly, "Today, Workshop 8 said that all their wages were incorrect, so I was worried that there was a problem with the computer operation, so I came here to check."

"But after checking with Accountant Zhang, we both thought there was no problem, because according to our unit's reward and punishment regulations, once a technical accident is identified, the performance subsidy must be deducted according to the regulations."

"But no matter how we explained it to them, Director Chen and some of the workers just didn't understand, and then chaos broke out."

"."

After listening to Xiao Zhiyu's story, Li Ye asked, "Who said that workers are illiterate and uneducated?"

Xiao Zhiyu pursed her lips, hesitated and didn't say anything.

But another intern said: "Lu Zixue said that when Xiao Zhiyu tried to stop the fight, he was beaten by them."

Li Ye took a quick glance and saw Lu Zixue standing at the outermost of a group of interns.

This guy is still the same coward as he was a few years ago. He gets into trouble but doesn't dare to stand in the front. He just shrinks behind and lets others act as a meat shield.

Li Ye asked Chen Zihe again: "Director Chen, I won't ask you about the beating, because it's wrong for you to hit someone anyway. I'm asking you now, the Finance Department explained the reason for the punishment to you, why didn't you obey?"

"I can't obey you, Deputy Director Li. We are wronged!"

Chen Zihe said aggrievedly: "Last month's production plan was very heavy. It was just a small technical problem, but it was rated as a technical accident. I thought I was the only one to be punished, so I accepted it. Who would have thought it would be so serious? If I had known this, I would never have accepted it even if I died."

"You won't admit it even if you kill me? When you replaced the new radiator, you didn't replace the new radiator bracket, which caused the radiator of our new car to be damaged during use, and finally caused the engine to be scrapped. Isn't this a technical accident?"

Li Ye was almost speechless. He was the one who took care of the replacement of the new radiator last month, so he knew everything about this technical accident and it was not at all unfair to Workshop 8.

In the 1980s and 1990s, if you asked any experienced driver what the most troublesome problems with various trucks were, high engine water temperature would definitely be one of the top three problems.

When the car is new, the engine radiator has a high heat dissipation efficiency and may be OK, but it won't be long before the radiator will rust and cause poor heat dissipation.

The Light Automobile Company had never considered improving this problem before, because cars in the 1980s all used well water as coolant, and radiator rust was an inevitable result.

But Li Ye did not think that there were no problems that could not be solved, so he simply and crudely enlarged and thickened the radiator, thereby increasing the production cost and improving the heat dissipation redundancy, thus completely solving the problem.

Even if the radiator has only 40 to 50 percent of its cooling efficiency after ten years, it can still be used normally.

However, as the radiator becomes larger, its size changes, and the radiator bracket must be changed accordingly. However, Workshop 8 mistakenly used an old bracket, which resulted in insufficient ground clearance for the radiator, and it was damaged while driving on bumpy roads.

Although only dozens of vehicles had this technical accident, Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang did not take it lightly. They punished Workshop 8 in accordance with the rules and regulations formulated in advance, and there was nothing wrong with that.

"Everyone is responsible for their own actions. Even if it is a technical accident, only the corresponding team should be punished, not all of us! Deputy Director Li, there is no such thing as collective punishment these days!"

"Who's talking? Who said that the entire clan would be implicated?"

Li Ye immediately stared at a worker in the crowd and said sternly: "According to the regulations, your salary includes collective performance subsidies. Since someone in the collective has made a mistake, should this performance subsidy still be paid?"

"."

The employee felt uncomfortable with Li Ye's gaze, but still muttered: "The fine can't be that much! More than 40 yuan is equivalent to half a month's salary before!"

"Do you remember how much your salary was before?"

A sinister voice suddenly sounded, and Master Miao squeezed in from outside the crowd.

No one dared to say a word, because Master Miao’s prestige was no less than Li Ye’s.

Master Miao walked up to Li Ye, nodded to him first, then suddenly swung his arm and threw a big pot sticker on Chen Zihe's forehead.

Li Ye couldn't help but curl his lips, thinking that Master Miao's hands were really black.

Chen Zihe was stunned. After a long while, he staggered and asked Master Miao: "Master, what are you doing?"

"I want you to remember that your salary used to be 86.5 yuan a month, but now it's 243 yuan. I can give you a raise or a deduction!"

Then Master Miao turned around and said to his disciples, "Let me tell you something. Since last month, 27 people have come to me to ask for transfer to work in our first branch.
If anyone thinks this place is not good, I will change it for you today. Hehe, they are doing me a favor~"
