Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

Deputy Director Li took a sip of tea without haste, and then said slowly: "Everyone has already understood what happened. I will mainly say the following points. First, Sha Zhu often shakes the spoon when serving food, which is wrong in itself. This time it was even more excessive. He only served three slices of cabbage and four slices of potato to Xu Damao for two dishes, which caused public outrage. Our factory has had workers fainting at their workstations due to hunger and hunger before, and there was even a safety accident because of this. Second, Sha Zhu is impulsive and irritable, and he was the first to take action with the spoon for serving food. My opinion is to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, deal with Sha Zhu seriously, and severely eliminate the unhealthy trends in the factory."

"Deputy Director Li is right. This idiot Zhu is too much. He usually relies on his own skills and doesn't take his leaders seriously."

"Shazhu's reputation in the factory is not very good. Someone has reported him for stealing food from the cafeteria before. This time, Shazhu must be severely punished and fired directly."

Deputy Director Li and his team all spoke out in support.

Deputy Director Li's people are mainly concentrated in the logistics department and the security department, while Director Yang's people are mainly the workshop directors of the production department. Of course, it is not absolute, but you are part of me and I am part of you. In addition, there is a neutral faction headed by Deputy Director Guo.

Director Yang coughed and said, "Shazhu is definitely responsible for this, but our factory's hospitality still depends on him. Shazhu's cooking skills are pretty good. We can't find a suitable chef for a while. You all know the level of the chef who cooks the big pot dishes in the cafeteria."

As soon as these words were spoken, the voices of those who had been making a lot of noise just now all lowered. It was true. Regardless of what kind of person Sha Zhu was, his cooking skills were really impeccable. They couldn't let the superiors who came to the factory and the leaders of the brother factories eat from the same pot.

Seeing that everyone's voices had dropped, Director Yang continued, "It was Sha Zhu who started it this time, but Xu Damao also fanned the flames and even called on the employees to beat up Sha Zhu. I think Xu Damao also has some responsibility, and Sha Zhu was also seriously injured this time, so he has learned a lesson."

At once, Director Yang's men also spoke out in agreement.

"I think we should do this. Shazhu will be given a serious warning and sent to the workshop for three months of labor reform after he recovers from his injury. During this period, his salary will be reduced to that of an apprentice, and he must write a profound self-criticism and report it to the entire factory. Xu Damao will have one month's salary deducted, and if he doesn't have any screening tasks, he will have to clean the factory area for a month. The other participants will have half a month's salary deducted. Let them negotiate Shazhu's medical expenses and lost wages themselves."

"Okay, that's it. This matter is over. The factory office will issue a notice and the radio station will announce it to everyone." Deputy Director Li nodded and approved the punishment decision. "I have another proposal. I have exchanged opinions with Lao Yang before the meeting. I will bring it up now for everyone to discuss."

"This incident reflects that the workers lack discipline and are free and undisciplined. The safety department is understaffed and its main task is not to do this... So I propose to set up a new inspection department to be responsible for rectifying the discipline of the workers in the factory and investigate and punish illegal and irregular behaviors such as being late or leaving early, being sneaky, and stealing public property. In view of Comrade Cui Yong's strong work style, he handled the fight incident quickly and decisively this time, and he has made many contributions in the past. I propose that Comrade Cui Yong be the head of the inspection department. Everyone can discuss it and express your opinions."

Hearing this, everyone's heart tightened, thinking that the main event was about to begin. The previous fight was just an introduction, and this was the real highlight.

The new department has considerable power, and once it is established, it will certainly have to recruit people from all over or recruit new people. There are huge benefits involved. Whoever controls this department will have a great help in improving their prestige in the factory. This is even more important for Deputy Director Li who wants to become a regular employee.

Director Yang took a sip of tea and said, "This is a good thing. The atmosphere in our factory should be rectified. I agree with this proposal in principle." But he thought to himself, "Huh, I'll let you take the initiative. It's still unknown who will win. It seems that I have to make more visits to my old leader. My old leader is from Sichuan and loves Sichuan cuisine, so I will cater to his taste and take Sha Zhu with me."

It seems that the flapping of Xu Damao's wings as a butterfly had a significant impact, as the plot of Sha Zhu cooking for the big boss was moved forward by five years.

Seeing that both factory managers nodded in agreement, everyone agreed. They were all respectable people with status, and the confrontation rarely appeared in public. As for the intrigues and stabs behind the scenes, it was unknown. The distribution of power was always accompanied by struggle.

"Okay, then today's meeting will end here. The factory office will document the meeting resolutions and notify those who should be notified and punish those who should be punished. It was your proposal, Lao Li, to set up a new department, so you should work hard and write a complete proposal for me. I will read it and submit it to our superiors. Everyone can go now." After saying that, Director Yang stood up and walked out of the meeting room.

At this time, Deputy Director Guo saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he laughed and said, "Why are you all standing there? Are you waiting for me to treat you to a meal? If I have to treat you, it should be Lao Li. I am an old man who is about to retire and I still rely on that little money for my retirement. Lao Li, let's go together. It's a good opportunity for you to tell me in detail about this inspection department."

Li Huaide also stood up, and the two of them walked out talking and laughing. Seeing this, everyone else also walked out of the meeting room in twos and threes.

Not long after, Cui Yong also returned to the security duty room and found a security guard and said, "The matter has come to a conclusion. Go to the detention room and release the people."

The security guard responded and went straight to the detention room. When he arrived at the door of the detention room, he first greeted his colleagues on guard, and then shouted inside: "Come out, the matter has come to a conclusion, you can go back first."

Xu Damao and others inside came out upon hearing this. Xu Damao said, "Brothers, since they have released us, it means that our case is not serious. Let's go and ask Chief Cui how to deal with us."

Everyone swarmed outside the duty room and asked, "Chief Cui, what did the factory say?"

"Yeah, decide what to do with us?"

"How is Shazhu? Is he seriously injured?"

"How was the stupid pillar punished?"

Cui Yong saw that everyone was in a mess, so he loudly announced the punishment decision. "Okay, don't be too happy too soon. Sha Zhu is still lying in the hospital. You still have to negotiate compensation with him."

At this time Xu Damao stood up and won people's hearts and said, "We'll talk about the compensation issue later. I promise here that I will pay half of it no matter how much the compensation is. Don't leave after get off work in the evening. I'll treat you to a meal at the state-owned restaurant at the corner of the street. You all helped me this time, and I have to thank you all. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me. And Chief Cui, please do me a favor." Xu Damao's main expression was happiness, especially when he heard that Sha Zhu had one of his testicles cut off. From now on, Sha Zhu would have to change his name to He·Yi Li Dan·Yu Zhu.

Everyone praised him upon hearing this.

"Da Mao is magnanimous, worthy of being a man of our city."

"Brother Damao is still responsible."

"I'm determined to be your brother."

Cui Yong also nodded, "Okay, let's go together after get off work."

"Then it's a deal. Brothers, I have something to do so I'll leave first. See you after get off work." Xu Damao said and left.
