That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 992 Choosing Sides
In mid-to-late August, the problems of the factory director, Xiao Jingang and others were explained clearly.

Some were sent to jail, some were fired after returning the stolen money, but surprisingly, the factory director was miraculously transferred back to his hometown and given a "high-ranking" idle position.

Although he was transferred to a department-level unit and had no real power, he was able to get out of the situation unscathed, which is truly amazing.

So the rumor started to spread in the unit that anyone who became the top leader had some unknown strength.

However, Li Ye knew that the situation was very complicated. First, the factory manager was very clever and had built firewalls in advance. All the transactions between Guan Liang and the Light Automobile Company were "normal transactions."

Secondly, the factory director was taken away a few days late. Guan Liang might have been caught in a critical position, so he sold everything he had to fill the loopholes created by others.

This is the sorrow of the little people. When eating meat, they just dip it in the soup, but when paying the bill, they have to pay for the whole thing.

According to unverifiable rumors, on the first day the investigation team arrived, Guan Liang's personal secretary took away most of his cash, and also lost all his remaining capital. In the end, only the Mercedes-Benz that was detained at the main factory was left.

When Li Ye saw Guan Liang again, he was negotiating with the head office to get his Mercedes-Benz back.

After not seeing him for many days, the former first secretary had completely changed his appearance. His cheeks were thin and his eyes were dull. Only the bloodshot eyes and the occasional vicious look made Li Ye feel that he was on the verge of madness.

But the head office lost so much money, much of which could not be recovered due to losses caused by normal transactions. How could they easily give up this Mercedes-Benz worth hundreds of thousands of dollars?

"There are still many accounts in the unit that have not been checked clearly. We still need to study your problem carefully. You can go back and wait for the news!"

"."

Guan Liang has been working in the unit for more than ten years, but he doesn't know that even if he waits until the flowers wither, he will never get that "news".

So he started to block people. If the security department didn't let them in, he would block them at the gate. All the management cadres he knew before had benefited from him in one way or another. They couldn't be beaten or scolded by him. He was like a dog-skin plaster and annoyed everyone.

Finally, during a meeting, someone threw this question to Niu Hongzhang.

"Do we need to discuss this matter? Whoever advocates releasing the car should sign. If any problems are found later, they will bear all the consequences."

[Okay, just your words are enough. ]

Several people who were extremely annoyed finally felt relieved. Every grievance has its perpetrator, and if Guan Liang comes again, let him go find Niu Hongzhang.

Niu Hongzhang also knew what these management cadres were thinking, but he held this meeting to take advantage of the imprisonment of Xiao Jingang and others to severely rectify the "bad practices" in the unit.
At this time, if he can shirk even such a small matter by saying "I don't understand the situation, it's not my responsibility" and has no sense of responsibility, then who would obey his management?
"Have you all seen the announcement from the ministry? To be honest, I was very sad after reading it. A factory with a history of more than 30 years has fallen to such a state.

Why did some of the excellent management cadres in the past degenerate so quickly? Don’t people reflect on this in their daily lives?

"."

Everyone in the conference room lowered their heads, and each of them seemed to be reflecting on themselves. At least they didn't want to bring bad luck to Niu Hongzhang.

After they received the news that Xiao Jingang had been dismissed and the factory director had been transferred, they knew that this would definitely happen. Something had gone terribly wrong and there would have to be a major overhaul, and the slogan of summing up lessons and experiences was indispensable.

But at this moment, no one is concerned about how to sum up experience and lessons. What everyone is most concerned about is who will fill the positions vacated by those who have been dismissed.

When the emergency situation occurred, Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang were added to the D Committee, but they only occupied two seats. There were still several issues concerning the standing committee members and committee members that had not been discussed!
It's just that Niu Hongzhang was dithering today and didn't get to the point. He kept talking about the corruption of cadres endlessly, making a group of ambitious cadres restless.

"What are everyone's thoughts and opinions on this issue? Tell us what you think!"

"."

Everyone in the conference room looked at each other, not knowing what Niu Hongzhang was up to.

This was not an occasion for casual conversation. As the meeting host, Niu Hongzhang had a purpose for every word he said.

[He's not asking us to self-reflect and self-examine, is he? I just ate someone else's meal last week and only a fool would reflect on himself! ]

"Don't you have any ideas? Then let me tell you first!"

Seeing that no one spoke, Niu Hongzhang spoke up himself: "Why did those cadres who made mistakes become corrupt so quickly? Because they are greedy."

"When you are well fed and warm, you will think about sex. How many days have we had enough food? And some people are already greedy for enjoyment. Isn't a salary of more than 100 yuan enough to spend? Do they have to embezzle public property?
Look at those people, they embezzled tens of thousands of dollars but they still don’t dare to spend it? They don’t even dare to deposit it in the bank.”

"Here I want to warn everyone to take this as a warning. For example, some comrades, who have just been promoted to the section level at a young age, are eager to enjoy the benefits of a car. There are so many department-level officials in our unit who don't have a car yet?"

"."Everyone in the conference room looked at Li Ye in unison.

Only at this point did they realize that Niu Hongzhang's long preparation was directed at Li Ye.

Think about it, Li Ye cheated Niu Hongzhang some time ago by taking advantage of the computer purchase matter. Now Niu Hongzhang is taking advantage of the situation to fight back, which is reasonable and logical, right?
Niu Hongzhang glanced at Li Ye and said coldly: "Don't think this is a trivial matter. I have been working in discipline for so many years and have seen many people who have grown from being corrupt to being corrupt.

At first he just spent his own money, but later he didn't have enough money to spend. Whose money do you think he spent?"

"More importantly, in the process of pursuing enjoyment, these people inevitably become more and more distant from the masses, and the masses become less and less trusting of them. How can a leader who is not trusted by the masses manage a collective or a company well?"

"."

The whole place was silent, and Li Ye's expression turned cold.

Ma Zhaoxian made a subtle gesture to Li Ye, asking him to stay calm.

In the workplace, such accusations without naming names will not have a direct effect. In the end, they will have to be implemented to hurt people.

For example, at this moment Niu Hongzhang initiated a proposal to select some incompetent management cadres. Combined with what was said before, everyone understood and pushed Li Ye out for "execution", so that a closed loop could be formed.

But you need a knife to execute someone, and Niu Hongzhang cannot do that now. The most he can do is to remind everyone to be careful about "choosing sides" in the future.

[Do you understand what I mean? If you support him, you will offend me. You will have to think about the consequences of offending me.]

That's why Ma Zhaoxian hinted to Li Ye not to worry. He has also been working hard to communicate with various people in the factory.
He felt that if he was given some more time, he could at least take the absolute initiative, even if he couldn't make the main factory as united as the branch factory.

But Li Ye didn't bear it.

He waited until Niu Hongzhang finished speaking, then said calmly: "Let me talk about my personal opinion!"

"What happened at the main factory some time ago was actually that some people forgot their true responsibilities and ended up making unforgivable mistakes,"

"Any management cadre has only one duty, which is to serve the people. Xiao Jingang and his people put their own interests before the interests of the people, which led to the current situation."

"When it comes to whether the masses trust us, my personal opinion is that if we want to gain the trust of the workers, it is not just about what we do, but more importantly, what we give to the workers,"

"Our predecessors taught us that we must go among the masses, understand their sufferings and difficulties. We can't just go among the masses and do nothing and then leave, right?"

"Every mid-month when I pay salaries, I will reflect on myself and carefully calculate whether I have fulfilled the promises I made to the workers. Have the salaries increased? Have the dormitories been built?"

Li Ye glanced at Niu Hongzhang and said again: "I talked to a few young workers the other day and asked them: Do you believe that the future will be better?
They said they trusted me very confidently, and I asked them why."

"As a result, the workers said, 'Director Li, you can earn enough money to buy a car on your own. Now we have 6,000 employees and we have the support of the country. Why can't we get better and better?'"

"If you can't make money yourself, how can you make others believe that you can help them make money?"

Li Ye waved his fist lightly and shouted like a leader making a report: "So, as long as we can make the workers' lives better and better, the workers will naturally trust us.
If workers' lives are always difficult year after year and day after day, how can you still let the workers trust us? "

"."

Silence lasted for ten seconds.

Then, it was broken by Ma Zhaoxian.

His gentle clapping, like the flapping of a butterfly's wings, inspired everyone else in the conference room.

Niu Hongzhang is not the only one who can choose sides.

While Ma Zhaoxian was clapping, he glanced at other people. He might not remember who clapped, but he would definitely remember who didn't.

In the end, Niu Hongzhang had no choice but to clap a few times.

Although what Li Ye said just now was a bit off topic, he didn't dare to say that Li Ye was wrong.

Because the vast number of worker brothers are the foundation of Niu Hongzhang.
