Chapter 818: Conversing with Wit and Ease

Old Ye pointed at Lu Qiao with his finger, looking as if he had become serious and angry, but there was laughter in his sharp eyes.

The atmosphere in the room became increasingly harmonious.

Someone knew that Factory Director Hao had taken Lu Qiao into Secretary Ye's office.

These people were incredibly curious.

After all, Secretary Ye had come and cut half the benefits, and in fact, these benefits were really something Lu Qiao had built the instant noodle factory for and then fought for for everyone.

There had been some before, but there really hadn't been this many.

And then it had been issued for two years, hadn't it? They thought there would be some this year too, but didn't expect it to be cut in half.

Of course, everyone was very politically conscious; except for a small minority who didn't understand, the majority expressed that they understood very well.

It was just that some people were gloating, feeling that Secretary Ye was just suppressing Lu Qiao's arrogant spirit.

No need to think, Secretary Ye certainly must look down on Lu Qiao.

If possible, would he uproot this person and drive her out of 516?

Some people thought this way, and others were worried about whether Secretary Ye would scold Lu Qiao until she cried.

The door to Secretary Ye's office was half-open.

It wasn't a confidential conversation, and plus, Lu Qiao was a female comrade, so he wouldn't keep the office door tightly shut.

But there were certainly no idlers around.

With nothing to do on hand, they stood at the end of the corridor looking toward Secretary Ye's office.

They didn't know what kind of result they wanted either.

Anyway, there were both worries and those watching the excitement.

But these people were doing it very obscurely; after all, they were all leaders, and they didn't dare to offend them.

But Little Cangcang still heard the sound of people whispering.

"If you ask me, Lu Qiao is really bold. What is she doing coming to find Secretary Ye at this time? And I think she is doing something unnecessary."

"Why do you say that?"

"Think about it, she isn't even a person of 516 now. No matter what benefits are issued, it doesn't have much to do with her. Even if it's for her family, there's no need to be this bird that sticks its head out, right?"

"And don't know who was stirring things up behind the scenes; it's really too evil."

"That goes without saying, it must be that bunch from the neighborhood office."

"If you ask me, Lu Qiao is also too young. How much did those people from the Xiang Yang neighborhood office profit because of her? And yet, they pit people like this."

"Can't blame Old Hu and the others for pitting her either. Actually, if you think about it, isn't it just that Lu Qiao loves to show off, loves to be cocky, and loves to stick her head out?"

"Yeah, yeah, when there's something, if everyone doesn't look for her, who do they look for?"

"The gun hits the bird that sticks its head out; let's see how Old Ye cleans her up."

"You don't speak nicely either. If there weren't people like this, who would fight for our rights?"

"Yeah, I think Old Hu and the others doing this is also right."

"You guys better not guess wildly; Old Hu doesn't have a good temper either. If people haven't said anything and you are here discussing it, if it reaches Old Hu's ears, I'd like to see how Old Hu cleans you guys up."

Someone blinked their eyes and said: "It's just us few talking here; Old Hu didn't hear it."

Little Cangcang was a bit anxious. If it were a person, it would have a mouth, and it would certainly stand in front of these people and tell them it wasn't like that.

Director Hu and the others from the neighborhood office didn't mention it to Lu Qiao at all.

Instead, it was you guys here talking nonsense and stirring up trouble.

Really so angry!

But it couldn't tell its little master about such things.

The little master couldn't do anything to them, and would feel uncomfortable after hearing it.

But if it didn't say it, it would hold a breath in its heart.

At this time, Little Cangcang finally understood why its little master told it not to listen to some people's whispering behind their backs.

Because that would affect a happy mood.

Little Cangcang glared fiercely at the four people who continued to whisper behind their backs, and then swooshed and flew to the door of Secretary Ye's office.

It parked itself on the threshold, watching its little master conversing with wit and ease with Factory Director Hao and Secretary Ye very proudly.

Even if its little master said such things on purpose, Secretary Ye didn't get angry at all.

That's right, Secretary Ye didn't get angry; instead, he asked Lu Qiao very earnestly: "Then tell me, why use the bonus method to reward her? Can't you issue a certificate of merit? Can't you hold a meeting to praise her?"

Little Cangcang just felt that this old man was too stingy.

Lu Qiao wasn't surprised at all that this old man thought this way. Actually, many people now thought this way and did this, and the comrades who received the rewards didn't feel they were at a disadvantage; instead, they took it as an honor.

Lu Qiao weighed it very earnestly, and only then said slowly: "I can't answer this question directly to you. How about this, may I give an example?"

Secretary Ye nodded immediately, his voice very intimate as he said: "You may!"

He was actually quite looking forward to what example Lu Qiao would give.

Lu Qiao said: "Let's use a worker's family as a metaphor. A dual-income couple just married in the first year, and no children were born in the family. The two people's wages added up to over fifty yuan a month, and their little life was lived quite well.

But in the ten years that followed, they added five children to their family one after another.

But their wages didn't have much change, still over fifty yuan.

But children aren't kittens or puppies; they need to eat, need to wear clothes, need to wear shoes, and even more need to go to school and study, and if they get sick, they still need to see a doctor.

And there is also, as this couple's work time increases, they become more and more familiar with their colleagues in the factory. They have dealings and movements with each other.

So the money this couple earns every month isn't enough to spend, and once there is something, they still have to go out and borrow.

The two people also work hard, and one of them then engaged in innovation, yet before the innovation succeeded, they already owed over two hundred yuan in external debt.

After this innovation succeeded, the factory held a meeting and decided to commend him.

And then it split into two factions.

One faction said just issue a certificate of merit; this is a lifelong honor, a spiritual reward.

The other faction said we must consider the actual situation; they have many children, their parents are elderly, their bodies are not good, and the family is spending more than it earns.

At this time, a certificate of merit can warm a person's heart, but a bonus can solve their urgent needs.

With real subsidies in hand, they will feel that their hard work is seen and cherished, and they will have more motivation to work in the future."

Secretary Ye wasn't too surprised either; he could also guess how Lu Qiao would talk to him.

And what surprised him was Lu Qiao's way of speaking; it really was telling a story slowly, and unconsciously making you convinced of her by a few points.

This is also a kind of skill.

Secretary Ye looked at Factory Director Hao: "Old Hao, do you think Comrade Xiao Lu's words make sense?"

Factory Director Hao put away the smile on his face and nodded very earnestly: "They certainly make sense."

Secretary Ye nodded and looked at Lu Qiao: "Comrade Xiao Lu, I understand what you mean."

Lu Qiao said with a smile: "Actually, no matter which method, its purpose is to improve the workers' sense of happiness. Being commended and rewarded makes one feel very happy, and actually getting the bonus in hand is also very happy." ===== CHAPTER 819 =====
