Chapter 109 Let’s Change People

In fact, as early as when Ximen Lang was bored and wandered around the workshop for the first time, he had already complained about the many chaotic situations and irregular management in the factory.

Even at that time, he put forward many practical suggestions, asking the workers in the workshop to pay more attention and attach importance to safety in production.

But two days later, not only had the situation remained unchanged, but it had actually gotten worse. In order to meet the relatively heavy production targets during this phase, things were even more chaotic than before.

How could Ximen Lang, who grew up with all kinds of safety-first propaganda, tolerate this?

So, after seeing the miscellaneous items scattered everywhere and the workers all producing according to their personal preferences, and the workshop director not stopping them at all, Ximen Lang immediately found Bai Ling and Li Huaide and took them to the fitter workshop where the old man and others were.

He pointed at the chaos in the workshop and started to criticize.

"Look at all those parts piled up in the aisle. If someone accidentally trips over one, falls, or bumps into something, who's responsible if something happens?"

"There's also the issue of machine placement. I talked to the workshop director a few days ago about this. He said there must be a sufficient safe distance between machines."

"The screws securing the machine must be checked regularly. If they are found to be loose, they must be tightened immediately. Look at the machine used by Dongxu. The screws securing it are so rusted, and they haven't replaced them yet."

"I've stressed this countless times: safety first, safety first. Production must be based on safety. How can you be so callous? There's been no action!"

Seeing Ximen Lang, he immediately got angry.

Influenced by the general environment in this era where people generally only focus on production capacity and don't pay much attention to safety, or are too lazy to pay attention to it, Bai Ling and Li Huaide, who were originally a little indifferent, immediately took it seriously.

At Bai Ling's instruction, Li Huaide stopped the production in the entire workshop without saying a word.

Amidst the workshop director's repeated questioning.
"Who told you to stop? Who's responsible for delaying this stage of production?!"

He replied very responsibly.

"I'm responsible for any delays in production!"

Then, he called the workshop director over.

Li Huaide questioned the chaos that Ximen Lang had just pointed out.

"Why didn't you correct the problems Comrade Ximen Lang pointed out a few days ago?"

Seeing that it was the rumored Ximen Lang trio who took the lead in stopping the incident, the workshop director cried out that it was injustice.

"I thought about making some changes, but before we could do so, the new phase of task indicators came down that afternoon, and they were very urgent. We might not be able to complete them even if we worked overtime, so how could we have the time to make corrections?"

It seems that what he said does make sense, but to put it bluntly, it just means that people don’t take it seriously.

In fact, if Director Yang had not specifically instructed that he would rather offend Li Huaide than offend Ximen Lang.

That day, the workshop director didn't have the patience to chat with Ximen Lang for so long.

He looked down on Ximen Lang from the bottom of his heart. He was obviously a high-ranking official's son who came here to gild his reputation but actually knew nothing. How could he possibly listen to him in everything?

In addition, the current production tasks are indeed very heavy.

In his opinion, maintaining the status quo and ensuring production is the best option.

Therefore, it is only natural that he is indifferent to or even ignores Ximen Lang's various suggestions.

But he never expected Ximen Lang to be so persistent. Two days had passed, and he still came to him for such a small matter.

While his evaluation of Ximen Lang, the greasy-haired boy, dropped a point, in order to maintain production, the workshop director urged the workers to resume production as soon as possible.

Even after saying this, the workshop director still only cares about production and ignores the safety of the workers.

It can happen once or twice, but not three times.

Even though he was offended so badly by Fan Jinyou and scolded so harshly by the group of state-owned enterprise aunties, Ximen Lang did not do anything to them except for being a little angry. He never said that he wanted to punish them severely from beginning to end. But for the first time, he took the initiative to show an attitude of severe punishment.

"Let's replace him. Since he's not capable, let's get someone who is capable. As for him, let him go to the workshop and live with the workers. When he realizes the importance of safe production, we can talk about it later."

This is the first time Ximen Lang has shown this attitude.

When he showed this firm attitude, even Secretary Nie and Lao Luo had to pay enough attention to it when they saw it.

Therefore, after confirming that the workshop director did bear a considerable part of the responsibility, Li Huaide immediately recorded the matter in a small notebook and explained it to the workshop director in the tone of reading an order.

"Now, as a member of the factory leadership team, I formally inform you that you are being dismissed from your position as workshop director. As for your specific issues, I will raise them at the factory committee meeting. After discussion by the factory leadership team, appropriate punishment will be imposed. Do you have any further comments?"

I'm such a big shot as the workshop director, and you fired me just because of a few words?
I'm Director Yang's man!

The workshop director, proud of being Director Yang's direct subordinate, was also annoyed.

"I'm Director Yang's man, who's in charge of production! You're in charge of logistics, so why are you in charge of our production? I don't accept it!"

"Not convinced? Don't worry, when Director Yang finds out about this and rushes over, you'll be convinced."

Having said that, he directly asked a comrade beside him to report this matter to Director Yang, who was in charge of production.

Taking advantage of this time, Ximen Lang also asked his doubts to a group of masters led by Yi Zhonghai.

"Master Yi, and several other master chefs. This workshop director doesn't understand the safety hazards I just mentioned. As experienced masters, you should be aware of them, but it seems to me that you don't take them seriously."

This is really unfair to these master chefs.

Having dealt with numerous unscrupulous manufacturers in the old society for years and having witnessed too many bitter lessons, they knew too well the importance of safe production.

Knowing is one thing, but taking action is another.

In addition, no matter how skilled they are, they are just workers in front of their immediate superior, the workshop director.

Those who are powerless and have little influence are not worthy of attention at all.

Therefore, silence is inevitable.

Of course, there are also those who are truly numb, or are influenced by the general environment and do not take it seriously.

Therefore, even some master chefs do not take it seriously.

Ximen Lang immediately took out the safety production regulations that he had prepared long ago, which were summarized from various blood and tears education sessions.

He personally gave a safety production class to all the workers.
