The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 27: Not High, Not Low
There's no use being anxious.

Nothing in production can be accomplished overnight. It is a process from quantitative change to qualitative change. Director Yang himself is not an expert in management. Simple and crude is his way of doing things. It is simply a dream to expect immediate results.

During this period, management experts were divided into two factions. One faction was high and mighty, but he had a long-term vision and was able to point out the direction.

He looked humble and lowly, but he was very close to the workers and they were on good terms with each other. The workers regarded him as the helmsman of the ship and were willing to ride the storms with him.

Director Yang is neither tall enough nor short enough, so he ends up in a position that is neither high nor low.

After Li Huaide was busy for a while in the morning, he called Liu Hua to his office again.

"Radio ticket." Li Huaide handed it to Liu Hua with a smile on his face. "This was originally intended to be awarded to outstanding individuals in logistics, but since you solved our factory's urgent transportation problem, I think no one would object to giving it to you as a reward."

Liu Hua took the radio ticket with a little disdain, but after thinking about it, he pushed it back.

"Why, you complain about the radio?"

Liu Hua shook his head: "It's not a good thing. I'm a newly-promoted employee. I just bought a bicycle and a radio. I don't know if the factory workers are upset or not, but we have caught a lot of people who are upset in our factory."

Liu Hua pointed to the workshop and said, "Last time I bought a bicycle, Liu Haizhong from the forging workshop thought I stole it. He tried to interrogate me with a smug look on his face, but I fought back."

Li Huaide thought for a moment and said, "Liu Haizhong, a seventh-level blacksmith, is said to be a good person. The apprentices he taught all have very good skills."

"He is worthy of being the factory leader." Liu Hua gave a thumbs up: "From this perspective, Liu Haizhong is indeed a good comrade, and he is dedicated to making progress."

"From other perspectives, this comrade is not a good comrade?"

Liu Hua shook his head: "I don't like to say bad things about people behind their backs. Anyway, if you ask around, you will definitely be surprised."

Li Huaide didn't dwell on this, but asked, "Since you don't want the radio ticket, what do you want?"

Liu Hua shook his head: "I don't know. I'll owe you the money first. When I need it, I'll ask you for it. You won't take credit for my contribution, will you?"

"It's up to you." Li Huaide put away the radio ticket: "If you don't want it, I can just give it to other colleagues."

Liu Hua waved his hand: "Since everything is fine, see you later."

"Don't leave in such a hurry." Li Huaide waved his hand: "I have something important to talk to you about."

When it comes to serious matters, Liu Hua sits across from Li Huaide and says, "What serious matters do you have to talk to me about? I'm just a junior technician who has just been promoted to a full-time employee. I haven't even learned all the skills yet."

"National Day is coming soon, and our gift this year is basically ruined." Li Huaide shook his head and said, "We originally planned to increase production by 30% as a gift to the motherland, but in the end it was less than 10%. Director Yang is worried."

Liu Hua looked at Li Huaide with a smile, thinking that the two of you are fighting like a hot kiln, he is anxious, shouldn't you watch the fun? The wisest thing to do at this moment is to stand by and watch.

Unfortunately, Li Huaide saw through his thoughts. It was understandable. In his past and present lives, Liu Hua was not a cunning person.

"We all prosper together and we all suffer together." Li Huaide said seriously, "The factory has not achieved the set goals, and I can't speak in front of my superiors." Liu Hua shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then why do you want me to do something? I can't help it. I'm just a small technician."

Li Huaide took out a pack of Huazi from the drawer and threw it to Liu Hua: "We have no hope with conventional methods now, so we have to try something unconventional. I feel that you have some creative ideas. Can you put some effort into this aspect?"

"You think too highly of me." Liu Hua shook his head. "I can't promise anything. I think you should hold a technical meeting for the whole factory to see what good ideas the workers have. This will also reflect the spirit of unity and cooperation among everyone."

"Do your best and obey fate."

Li Huaide was also in a desperate state at this time. Although he wanted to see Director Yang make a fool of himself, he did not want to see such a joke. This was a joke for the entire steel mill.

According to what he thought, the ideal situation was that something happened to Director Yang. In this way, the steel rolling mill would not be involved, let alone him. As the first person after Director Yang in the steel rolling mill, he could naturally take over the entire factory.

Liu Hua returned to the office shaking his head. Ma Yushan threw the tool bag to him and said, "There is a problem with a machine tool in the third workshop. Go and have a look first. I will be there soon."

As soon as you enter the third workshop, you can hear the sharp sound. Needless to say, this is a very serious problem. Liu Hua cut off the power supply and sent workers to watch the power supply and not let anyone touch it.

The workers, however, had some complaints. They just wanted to cut off the power supply, but they also wanted me to watch here and order me around like their subordinate.

As a new technician, Liu Hua did not have the authority to order the workers around. He could only find a piece of corrugated paper, write a warning sign with a pen and hang it on the power supply.

After ensuring that the machine tool had stopped steadily, Liu Hua began to dismantle the machine tool. The problem with the main drive shaft was that it had become crooked, but this was a trivial matter for Liu Hua.

When Ma Yushan came over, Liu Hua was already installing it. Ma Yushan watched his apprentice install it calmly. He was very methodical and organized, so he nodded with satisfaction.

Although this apprentice has not been taught much, he has a good understanding and knows how to learn on his own. So far, there is no problem for him to operate alone, and he can be let go to work independently.

When Liu Hua was about to pull the power cord, Ma Yushan noticed the sign in Liu Hua's hand and said with a smile, "Is this your idea?"

Liu Hua nodded: "Safety first, a small sign can prevent great danger, why not do it?"

"Not bad, not bad." Ma Yushan said with a smile, "It's just that this sign is not eye-catching enough. Let's ask the logistics department to make a few red signs as warning signs."

When they maintain the equipment, they occasionally encounter emergencies of one kind or another. Having this sign does indeed bring a lot of sense of security.

Before Liu Hua installed the casing, Ma Yushan checked it carefully again. After confirming that everything was correct, he signaled Liu Hua to install the casing and turn on the power for testing.

The workshop director of workshop three watched Liu Hua repair the equipment neatly and efficiently, and gave Ma Yushan a thumbs up.

"A good teacher produces good students." The director said with a smile, "It hasn't been long since this kid became a regular employee, but he can already handle such a complicated problem. I think you, Team Leader Ma, are really good at teaching him."

Ma Yushan said modestly: "The child is very motivated and intelligent, and he is also very motivated."
