Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

"Director, you don't know that his family situation is a bit special. He still has a mother, a wife, and two children. It looks like there's another one in her belly. The oldest child is probably only about ten years old.

There must be some demands. I also told them to arrange someone to take over, but even if they take over, they have to start as an apprentice. That little money is not enough to feed a family of five."

"That's true. Have they made any requests now?"

"No, it's just that the pension is less, the family has no money to eat, and there is no salary, so there is no way to support our future."

"This is not a lack of requirements. This is a lot of requirements. Xiao Li, call a few people to hold a meeting."

"Wait a minute. I asked him to go to the workshop to call for help. He also needs to find someone familiar with the Jia family and ask him to do some work in the middle."

"Well, that's a solution. Let's wait and find out the situation first."

As soon as the two finished smoking, Secretary Li came in with Director Hou. They summarized the situation and couldn't avoid Jia Dongxu's master Yi Zhonghai. However, Yi Zhonghai took a leave this afternoon, so Director Yang ordered them to look for him. If there was no one at the factory, they would go to his home and ask, and they would always find him.

Director Hou also brought some bad news, which had spread throughout the workshop. The families of the workers who had died two days ago were blocking the factory gate and were talking about it. It was probably the same in other workshops, as the news was spread by people who had watched the excitement at noon.

Director Yang frowned, waved his hand and said, "Find someone first. Go back and inform the workshop not to discuss this matter anymore. Tell everyone that the factory will make proper arrangements. I will arrange for people to handle the other workshops."

Director Hou hurried back to the workshop. Director Yang instructed Xiao Li to check every workshop and told the workshop directors to control public opinion. He also called several other deputy directors and asked them to come to the office to discuss whether there was any solution.

As soon as Yi Zhonghai returned to the courtyard, the third aunt came over and asked, "Master Yi, where have you been? Someone from the factory is looking for you, and no one is at home."

"Did the factory come to see me and tell me something?"

"No, but the person who came was in a hurry, so he asked you to go to the factory as soon as you came back."

"Okay, I'll go back to the house and put some things away." Yi Zhonghai agreed and walked towards the central courtyard. After he put the things away, he saw that the door of the Jia family was closed. Something was wrong. There should be someone at home. He had a bad feeling in his heart.

He hurried all the way to the factory gate, and as expected, several people from the Jia family were sitting there. Yi Zhonghai didn't go up to talk to them, but hurried into the factory.

As soon as he entered, a familiar security officer came over and shouted, asking him to go to Director Yang's office quickly. Yi Zhonghai trotted into the office, knocked on the door, and walked in. Several directors and deputy directors, Yang, Li, Zhang, and Wang, were all there, as well as the workshop director.

Seeing such a big scene, Yi Zhonghai asked with gritted teeth: "Director Hou, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Director Yang spoke directly: "Master Yi, you saw it when you just came in. Jia Dongxu's family is not satisfied with the factory's compensation plan. I heard from the people in the workshop that Jia Dongxu is your apprentice, and his family is from the same courtyard as you. We need you to step forward and do some work to deal with this matter as soon as possible."

Yi Zhonghai was also confused. He was at work in the morning and busy with the divorce process at noon. He had no idea how things turned out like this. However, the factory director asked him to find a way to handle it. He asked, "Director Yang, I don't know the situation. I want to ask, how much is the pension provided by the factory? Is there any other compensation?"

Director Yang gave a signal, and Secretary Li stepped forward and told Yi Zhonghai what happened this morning. In the afternoon, he also told Yi Zhonghai about some of the circumstances surrounding Jia Zhang's visit to the factory gate. After listening, Yi Zhonghai began to ask Director Yang again.

"Director, I also know about his family situation. If we discuss this, it is highly likely that the deal will not be reached. I would like to ask whether the factory has made any decision on the conditions proposed by Jia Zhang and how it plans to deal with them."

Director Yang and several deputy directors exchanged a glance, and Deputy Director Zhang said, "The factory has already made a decision. The pension is only so much, and it is impossible to increase it. These are all based on the standards;

The factory also took into account the Jia family's difficult life and could provide some other subsidies. For example, Jia Dongxu's wife is pregnant now and cannot go to work, so they can give her some compensation every month until she gives birth."

Yi Zhonghai thought about it and it was about right. What's the problem with compensating you until you go back to work? Besides, there is also a pension. He said to several factory managers, "I'll try my best to persuade her, but Dongxu's mother has a different mindset, so I can't guarantee that she will agree."

Several factory managers, especially Deputy Factory Manager Zhang, understood the situation and nodded. Yi Zhonghai went out of the factory. When he arrived, he saw several people sitting on stools and drinking water. Yi Zhonghai felt that he had not had a sip of water to drink until now.

Yi Zhonghai said to Jia Zhang: "Sister-in-law Jia, didn't I tell you not to make a fuss first? Let's talk to the factory first and see what the situation is."

"There is no other way. I can't live if I don't make trouble. The factory only gives me such a small pension, which is not enough for me to do. My family has no money to eat. I might as well die here." Jia Zhang said with a cold face.

Yi Zhonghai frowned and asked again: "How much do you want? Do you have any other requirements? I will go and negotiate with the factory. They see that I am Dongxu's master and let me be the middleman. If you want to ask for a high price, then forget it. Anyway, you will bear all the consequences yourself."

When Jia Zhang heard Yi Zhonghai say this, she knew that her attitude was wrong. He was here to persuade them to make peace. If you really wanted to cause trouble, you wouldn't be waiting here quietly.

He softened his tone, "Uncle, I don't ask for much. The pension is too little. I want at least 500 yuan. This is Dongxu's life. And we women have no income. What will we eat and drink? What's more, Huairu is pregnant with another child. How will we arrange the work after taking over?"

"Okay, I'll go in and ask. You have to remember, don't make trouble before the results come out. If you still make trouble, you can only go through the official process."

When Jia Zhang heard about the official procedure, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly calmed down. This was not against the law and at most she would be educated for a few days. However, if they didn't reach an agreement now, there would be no way to negotiate in the future. She nodded to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai turned around and went into the factory, lighting a cigarette as he walked, thinking about how to tell his leader and getting Jia Zhang's consent, and what he could gain from it.

When he arrived downstairs at the office, Yi Zhonghai made up his mind that he must make this thing happen. Not only did he want the factory leaders to see his ability to get things done, but he also wanted the Jia family to be grateful to him.

After entering the room, Yi Zhonghai looked embarrassed and told Director Yang about the suggestions that Jia Zhang had just made. Several factory directors were also in a headache. The first one could not be passed. Who would dare to take the responsibility? If they gave her too much, what would happen in the future? What would happen to the past?

Yi Zhonghai looked at the embarrassed faces of several factory managers and said, "Factory Manager, I've thought about it. We can't set a precedent for pensions, but we can think of ways to compensate them. For example, we can give them more compensation for a few months. What do you think?"

Several factory managers looked at Yi Zhonghai, wondering why he liked him so much. Everyone knew that it would be easy to negotiate if he could just give them a little more compensation or a few more months, but no one brought it up. They were all waiting for others to do so. This was money taken out of the factory and would be included in the processing records and reported later.

Seeing someone bring up this issue, Director Yang and several deputy directors exchanged glances, and they began to discuss it. In the end, they decided to pay a subsidy of 18 yuan a month until the child is born and the child can start working in the factory.

Once he entered the factory, he would definitely be an apprentice. However, considering the Jia family’s situation, he was given a monthly subsidy of 10 yuan until he passed the examination to become a first-level worker.

After the discussion, Director Yang said to Yi Zhonghai: "Master Yi, you also know the situation in the factory. We can only do this. If the family members still disagree, we can only handle it impartially."

"Please rest assured, Director. I will persuade them to accept this compensation method. This compensation method is already generous enough. It is also because several leaders care about the workers' families that they made this exception. If they disagree, then I will just let them do as they please."

After hearing Yi Zhonghai's flattering words, several factory managers nodded with satisfaction. Manager Yang also instructed Secretary Li to keep good records. For such a large factory, there were no safety accidents that year. In recent years, it has been much better. All the machines have been replaced with self-produced ones, which are much better than the old and dilapidated ones before.

Yi Zhonghai said something to several factory managers and turned to walk out of the factory. When he got outside, he explained to Jia Zhang the conditions offered by the factory and pointed out that these conditions were obtained through my hard work. The additional compensation alone was several hundred yuan, so there was no need to worry about the pension.

After hearing this, Jia Zhang still felt a little unwilling. In her opinion, the pension was mine and I needed to support myself in my old age. The compensation and salary would be collected by Qin Huairu in the future. They were for living purposes and had nothing to do with me.

Yi Zhonghai also saw it and made known the intentions of several factory leaders. If they still wanted to cause trouble, then they would handle it in a fair and impartial manner. If things got out of hand, you would have to go to work in the factory in the future.

After hearing this, Qin Huairu hurriedly pulled Jia Zhang's sleeve. Jia Zhang shook her hand and looked from Jia Dongxu to Qin Huairu, then Bang Geng and Yi Zhonghai. She stomped her feet in hatred and agreed.

Seeing that Jia Zhang agreed, Yi Zhonghai quickly said, "Then go in and complete the formalities first, so you can get the money earlier."

Jia Zhang asked Qin Huairu to stay here and followed Yi Zhonghai into the steel rolling mill. When they arrived at the office, she asked Jia Zhang to wait outside. Yi Zhonghai knocked on the door and went in to say something. Several factory managers heard that they agreed and were relieved. They told Secretary Li to take the two of them to handle the formalities.

Secretary Li brought people to the conference room, listed all the pension conditions as mentioned, and signed a confidentiality agreement with Jia Zhang, stating that compensation other than the pension could not be discussed casually. If anyone heard any news, the factory could cancel the compensation immediately.
