Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 53 It’s all the factory manager’s fault!

The next day, when Secretary Xu confirmed the list of absentees and distributed the disciplinary measures to each workshop, everyone was shocked.

In just one morning, the threshold of the union office was almost broken down by the workers in training.

"Secretary Xu, I went to study last night! Xiao Zhou and Xiao Wang can both vouch for it!"

"Yes, Secretary Xu! When we went there, there was no room in the house, so we stood outside and listened."

"Is there any misunderstanding here?"

"You can't disqualify us from the quarterly outstanding worker selection just because of this!"

"..."

One of the female comrades felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and her eyes became red.

She is short and goes there late.

By the time she arrived, even the seat by the window had been taken.

When she stood on tiptoe, she could only see the back of the head of the person in front of her and could not see the blackboard at all.

The whole process was based on listening to the pronunciation and writing it down on paper one stroke at a time.

In the morning, she even took care to write down the Japanese content with relevant pronunciations from the notes she borrowed from others.

But before she finished copying the notes, the workshop director frowned and threw a disciplinary notice on her workstation.

Afterwards, they held a small meeting in the workshop and pointed out her unorganized and undisciplined behavior, saying that she had brought shame to the workshop.

"You can't wrongly accuse people!"

"Forget about the punishment. Our director is going to be so stubborn with me. I'm not going to offend anyone."

The more the female comrade spoke, the more aggrieved she felt. She simply sat down on the stool and started sobbing.

It didn't matter that she cried, the other female comrades also started to complain with red eyes.

They were all new workers in the factory and were thin-skinned. Not only did they receive punishment for no reason, but they were also criticized by their own masters and workshop directors.

No matter who he is, he would feel bad!

After listening for a long time, Secretary Xu vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"You said you went to study last night, where did you study?"

The female comrade cried, "Isn't it just the auditorium on the factory's First Avenue?"

Secretary Xu's heart skipped a beat.

"The first avenue of the factory you went to, was it the one near the creek or the one towards the cafeteria?"

The female comrade said, "A ditch!"

"Oh my god! This is not right!"

Secretary Xu slapped his thigh and suddenly realized:
"You are not going to First Avenue, but Factory Avenue, which was formerly Factory Fourth Avenue."

"The First Avenue mentioned in the notice is actually Factory Steam Road."

Others: ???
Ultimately, Wang Qingzhou is to blame for this matter.

When Wang Qingzhou was promoted to the director of the machinery factory, he always felt that the word "four" was unlucky and shook his head every time he walked to the fourth street of the factory.

It was the office director who observed the situation and suggested changing Chang Sidao Street to Chang Dadao Street.

After all, Changsidao Street is close to the river and the street is wide, so it is not an exaggeration to call it "Avenue".

The factory's First Avenue is opposite the canteen, water room and bathhouse, and is filled with steam all year round. Over time, it is also called Steam Road.

The old people in the past understood it, but the newcomers don’t.

They usually hear the calls of Steam Road, Steam Road, and have no idea that it is First Avenue. They think Factory Avenue is First Avenue.

This is when something went wrong. When everyone heard the reason, they immediately became anxious.

After much persuasion, Secretary Xu was forced to revoke their punishment and write a statement of the situation to send to their workshop to clear their name.

"Everyone, rest assured. I will definitely convey the actual situation to the leadership."

Secretary Xu persuaded everyone to leave with earnest words, and walked towards Chairman Jia's office with the list.

"What the hell is this?"

Secretary Xiao Xu sighed inwardly.

Because of this misunderstanding, the leaders and workers are now scolding him.
I'll explain the situation later. I guess Chairman Jia will scold me again because the notice was not clear.

When we arrived at the door of Chairman Jia's office, we could hear Chairman Jia's angry curses across the corridor.

"If you can't even figure out this little thing, how can your office be competent?"

Secretary Xu was startled and tiptoed to the door, looking inside through the crack.

I saw the deputy director of the office standing in the room with a forced smile on his face.

Such a big thing happened last night. This morning, the deputy director of the office in charge of the study month and the deputy chief of the publicity department both came to apologize.

To put it bluntly, I'm here to get scolded.

Chairman Jia was already hot-tempered, and when he saw the visitor he started to curse him even more fiercely and started to make suggestions about the country.

The deputy director of the office had a very good attitude in admitting his mistakes.

"Chairman Jia, don't worry! We will strictly enforce attendance and learning progress, and will definitely assist the union to make this matter go smoothly and beautifully!"

Secretary Xu heard that the anger in the room seemed to have subsided a little, so he mustered up the courage to knock on the door.

"Chairman, there is a situation I need to report to you."

Secretary Xu explained the misunderstanding to Chairman Jia in detail.

"So, it's not that they didn't go, they just went to the wrong place. Everyone still obeys orders and is eager to learn."

After the report was completed, before Chairman Jia spoke, the deputy director of the office was puzzled.

"Aren't there workshops all around Factory Avenue? What are they talking about?"

Secretary Xiao Xu said, "According to what the workers said, they were speaking Japanese."

"Japanese?!" Chairman Jia said in surprise.

"Now our factory's fusion workshop has connections with Japan. Could it be them?"

That night, the lost workers finally found the right direction and sat in the classroom in the small auditorium on time.

Everything declines in the second and ends in the third.

Chairman Jia glanced at everyone at the door and no longer had the heart to mobilize people to study.
After greeting everyone, Chairman Jia led Secretary Xu, and the secretaries from the office and publicity department to the factory avenue.

It is daylight saving time now, the workshop is hot and stuffy, and the workers are not working.

Therefore, many workshops will use the evening time to make more progress while it is cool.

Along the way, almost all the lights in the workshops I passed were on.

But the workshop near the river was packed with people.

As Chairman Jia and his entourage approached, they heard a group of people saying in unison, as if they were elementary school students reciting a text together:
"Nani? Nani? Nani?"

Chairman Jia frowned: "What do you mean, Nani?"

Secretary Xiao Xu shook his head.

Even Chairman Jia couldn’t understand such profound things, so he couldn’t understand them even more!
