Chapter 2296

The internal partition of the Woolen Mill factory was H-shaped. Zhou Andong and Gu Bing, along with several other factory leaders, as well as departments such as the Office, Party Committee Office, and Factory Office, were all located on the third floor, but not in the same area.

Just as Zhou Andong reached out to push open the door of his office, on the other side, Zhang Hesheng and Chen Gong happened to walk out of Tan Sheng's office. And almost at the same time, Dong Wenjuan rushed to the second floor like a gust of wind and knocked on the door of the Trade Union Director Nian Shihua's office.

"Come in!" A man's voice, slightly majestic, came from inside.

Dong Wenjuan took a deep breath first, tried her best to calm her somewhat rapid breathing, and only after stabilizing her breath did she push the door and walk in, seeing Nian Shihua without nonsense.

"Director Nian, the Factory Director asks you to go to his office within ten minutes. And specifically asked me to remind you that if you are one minute late, you will bear the consequences yourself."

Nian Shihua's brow wrinkled slightly, but soon returned to calm, and nodded: "I know."

Dong Wenjuan slowly exited the room, and closed the door gently by the way. Immediately after, she turned and walked towards the Deputy Director's office diagonally opposite, and knocked on the door again.

"Come in!" This time it was a woman's voice, and the tone sounded very comfortable.

Dong Wenjuan pushed the door and entered: "Director Tang!"

"It's Xiao Dong!"

Trade Union Deputy Director Tang Yun didn't look old, only thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, and was very beautiful, especially her figure, which was very plump and well-proportioned, comparable to Liu Yan.

And this woman never put on airs, and was always kind to everyone. No matter who encountered difficulties, as long as they found her, she would do her best to extend a helping hand to provide help. Therefore, not only in the factory office, but as long as employees who had dealt with Tang Yun, everyone respected her.

This was not the case. When Dong Wenjuan saw Tang Yun, the attitude she showed was completely different from when she faced Nian Shihua. A brilliant smile instantly bloomed on the little girl's face, and she couldn't wait to open the conversation box.

"Director Tang, something big happened. Just now the Secretary and Factory Director went to our factory office, looking at their expressions, they seem very angry..."

This little girl chattered and told the story very quickly: "Director Tang, you must hurry over, if you go late, you might be scolded."

Tang Yun couldn't help but smile, she pulled open the drawer in front of her, took out a bottle of iced black tea and put it on the table: "You said so much, are you thirsty? Take it and drink."

"Oh my!" Dong Wenjuan hurriedly waved her hand embarrassedly: "I'm not thirsty, you keep it for yourself, I'm leaving, I still have to go to the Finance Department to notify Section Chief Guan and Deputy Section Chief Dou."

"Stop!" Tang Yun called out to Dong Wenjuan who was about to run, stood up with the iced black tea, walked over, and stuffed the drink into Dong Wenjuan's arms without explanation, and explained with a smile.

"I went out to eat with a friend yesterday noon, and she specially bought it for me. But I don't really like drinking drinks, so I brought it back. However, you young people should like to drink it. Instead of wasting it here, it's better for you to drink it."

"Thank you, Director Tang!" Dong Wenjuan ran away with a smile.

"Being young is really good!" Tang Yun couldn't help but sigh, then slowly turned around, elegantly picked up the water pot, poured herself a glass of cold boiled water, and then took a small sip. The cool liquid slid down her throat, bringing a refreshing feeling, and then a faint smile climbed onto her face.

"It's too abnormal, I don't know if it's a surprise or a joy!"

Today's inauguration meeting, all cadres above the section level in the factory participated, and Tang Yun naturally couldn't be absent. To tell the truth, she had never questioned Zhou Andong's commercial talent and leadership ability.

In her heart, she had always believed in a fact: as long as Zhou Andong could serve as Factory Director, the Woolen Mill, which was once infinitely beautiful but now trapped in difficulties, would definitely be able to regain its vitality and move towards brilliance again, standing on the peak again.

However, reality is often much crueler than imagination. The current situation of the Woolen Mill is complex, and various interest relationships are intertwined. And in this position, if it weren't for her special status as a martyr's widow, plus those comrades-in-arms of her husband who were like brothers supporting her behind her back, she would definitely be gnawed to the point of not even slag left.

Therefore, in the Woolen Mill, no matter how excellent an individual's management and business talent is, if they know nothing about complex and ever-changing political struggles, they will sooner or later become fish on someone else's chopping board, slaughtered by others. It was precisely out of such considerations that Tang Yun really couldn't have any confidence in whether Zhou Andong could stand firm in the Woolen Mill.

However, at today's inauguration meeting, the wisdom and means shown by Zhou Andong were like a light, shining straight into her heart, giving her an unexpected huge surprise.

Originally, she had been in a state of indecision, struggling with whether she should take the initiative to lean towards Zhou Andong. After the meeting was dismissed, she already had a clear decision in her heart.

According to practice, after the inauguration meeting, the Secretary and Factory Director must also convene all cadres to hold an internal meeting. The purpose of this meeting is usually just to let everyone get familiar with each other and meet each other.

Therefore, Tang Yun thought that after this meeting ended, she would go to Zhou Andong to report work. Unexpectedly, only two or three hours after the inauguration meeting ended, they were notified to go to the office again.

It is estimated that something happened, and it is very likely that someone will suffer for it. Thinking of this, the smile on Tang Yun's face became more and more brilliant, and the mature charm of the young woman became more intense.

At this time, Dong Wenjuan had already come out of Guan Mingli's office and entered the office of Deputy Section Chief Dou Jincheng.

"Section Chief Dou, the Factory Director asks you to go to his office, you must arrive within ten minutes, otherwise you will bear the consequences yourself."

Dou Jincheng was over fifty, and he had been in the position of Deputy Section Chief for more than ten years. When the previous two Section Chiefs were transferred, he thought he would be promoted, but none of them were him in the end.

He also went to find leaders, and gritted his teeth to send gifts, but those two dog-shit things, Shi Guoqiang and Hu Dajun, accepted the gifts and took the money, but just didn't do things.

When Guan Mingli was transferred over, he monopolized the power, and he completely lost the right to speak. By this time, he had completely given up, coming to work every day just to read newspapers and drink tea, mixing days waiting for retirement.

"I know!" Dou Jincheng put down the newspaper in his hand and picked up the teacup to take a sip: "I will go over immediately."

Dong Wenjuan nodded, turned and came out, then breathed a long sigh of relief, muttered and said: "Finally completed the task, if they are late, it's not my fault."

"Principal Liu, Principal Ma, Principal Yan, come, drink some water first." Zhou Andong personally poured water for Liu Bo, Ma Qingmin, and Yan Minru, and said with a slight apology: "Really sorry, you also know, I just took office today, and the office hasn't had time to prepare any tea leaves, really neglected!"

Liu Bo, Ma Qingmin, and Yan Minru, who had just sat down, hurriedly stood up again, took the teacup from Zhou Andong's hand somewhat cautiously, and responded repeatedly: "Factory Director, you must not say that, we are not thirsty at all!"

They don't know how many times they have been to this office, Hu Dajun never poured them water, and even this sofa, which is said to be imported, they haven't sat on, they just sat on the stool next to them when they came.

And Zhou Andong not only promised them to solve the arrears immediately, but also poured water for them personally, which is the greatest respect for them. Looking at Hu Dajun's behavior, the high and low are judged, how can they not be grateful.

Looking at the cautious and fearful appearance of the three people in front of him, Zhou Andong is both sad and helpless. In this era, the country also attaches great importance to education. It often emphasizes that no matter how poor you are, you cannot be poor in education. However, the reality is that the treatment of teachers has always been difficult to achieve substantial improvement.

Taking first-tier cities like Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Jingcheng as examples, educational resources are relatively rich, and teachers' income levels are okay. But in some prefecture-level cities, especially schools located in county and town areas, teachers often face difficulties in paying wages. Sometimes, they don't get paid for several consecutive months.

In the final analysis, the reason for this phenomenon is nothing more than that the importance attached to education is far from enough, and there is a lack of due respect and care for teachers on the front line of teaching.

Like leaders like Shi Guoqiang and Hu Dajun, they occupy the majority. These people have money to eat, drink, and play, a meal of hundreds or thousands, or even thousands, which is extravagant, but they cry poor and say there is no money when paying teachers.

"Don't be so polite, sit down and talk!" After the three sat down, Zhou Andong continued: "Let's have a good chat today. Besides wages, what other problems does the school need to be solved urgently, tell me."

The three principals exchanged glances, and this time it was the youngest Liu Bo who spoke as a spokesperson: "First of all, it is the maintenance of school buildings. Take our secondary specialized school department as an example, we are still having classes in that old office building of the Puli Company."

The whole building has only two floors, whether it is the office of the teaching staff or the classrooms of the students, the quantity is far from enough, and the space is very cramped. Then there are the staff dormitories, those old dormitories have now become dangerous houses, cold wind blows in in winter, and rain leaks in in summer.

Especially in the summer rainy season, if the rain is a little heavy, we leaders can't sleep peacefully, our hearts are always hanging, afraid that whose house will suddenly collapse..."

Zhou Andong listened carefully while nodding frequently: "If it is really as you said, the problems of school buildings and dormitories are indeed very severe. You can rest assured about this, I will list these two things as the primary task to deal with. Then besides this, are there any difficulties or areas that need improvement in other aspects?"

"Factory Director!" I saw Liu Bo, Ma Qingmin, and Yan Minru all stand up from their seats at the same time, shouting in unison with excitement: "We represent all the teaching staff to express our heartfelt thanks to you!"

The voices of the three were a bit trembling, and then they bowed to Zhou Andong in unison.

Zhou Andong hurriedly supported them and said with a helpless face: "As a Factory Director, this is what I should do. You make me feel very uneasy and ashamed."

Ma Qingmin snorted coldly: "It should be Shi Guoqiang and Hu Dajun who should feel uneasy and ashamed, not Factory Director Zhou."

"Sit down quickly, don't do this anymore." Zhou Andong hurriedly waved his hand, and after the three sat down again, he said: "What Hu Dajun looked like when he was Factory Director, that has already passed, and I can't manage it.

But since I am serving as this Factory Director now, education work must be put in the first place. There are two problems that need to be solved first, one is your wage treatment, and the other is school buildings and dormitories.

After these two things are handled properly, I will gradually improve the overall salary treatment of the teaching staff. As for how much it can be improved, I cannot make a promise, but I dare to guarantee that I will never let the income of the teaching staff be lower than that of the front-line employees in the factory!"

"Dong, dong, dong..."

At this time, a crisp and loud knock on the door sounded, and Zhou Andong, who wanted to continue, closed his mouth, and then heard Gu Bing shout.

"Come in!"

The office door, which looked very heavy, was pushed open slowly, and Zhang Hesheng and Chen Gong walked in one after another. And the office door didn't make a sound, it must be said that there is no cheap thing that is not good. Just this door, Zhou Andong estimated it cost thousands of yuan.

"Secretary Gu, Factory Director Zhou, what is the matter with you looking for me?"

Zhang Hesheng performed quite casually, he greeted Gu Bing and Zhou Andong carelessly while walking towards them. Subsequently, he sat down opposite Zhou Andong without any politeness.

Unlike Zhang Hesheng, Chen Gong's expression was extremely cautious. A humble smile always hung on his face, and he walked to Gu Bing and Zhou Andong's side with light and steady steps, opening his mouth respectfully.

"Secretary, Factory Director, I'm here!"

Zhou Andong raised his head slightly, swept a glance at Chen Gong standing on the side with his peripheral vision. Immediately after, he turned his head and cast his gaze on Zhang Hesheng who was sitting there leisurely at this moment. There was no expression on his face, just looking at Zhang Hesheng like this, his eyes cold as ice.

At first, Zhang Hesheng still had a smile on his face, but as time passed second by second, the smile that originally hung on the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared, and the atmosphere in the office became more and more oppressive, the air around seemed to have condensed, giving people a strong sense of suffocation.

The corners of Zhang Hesheng's mouth twitched slightly. He originally wanted to squeeze out a smile to cover up the anxiety and tension in his heart, but no matter how hard he tried, the smile finally failed to appear on his face.

He was originally nestled in the soft sofa very comfortably, at this moment, as if being pulled by an invisible force, his body sat upright involuntarily, his body became straighter and straighter, like a tight bowstring. At the same time, a layer of fine sweat began to seep out on this guy's forehead.

This guy is the Factory Office Director, that is the big housekeeper of the Factory Director. Originally, Zhou Andong didn't want to move him for the time being, or it was to leave him a time to think, to carefully ponder the road ahead. But what he didn't expect was that this guy did this as soon as he entered the door, clearly not putting him, the Factory Director, in his eyes at all.

If he is not dealt with like this, it will definitely encourage his arrogance and make him more unscrupulous. Especially Zhang Hesheng, as the big housekeeper of the Factory Director, openly opposes the Factory Director, which is undoubtedly a major challenge to Zhou Andong's authority. If this is ignored and indulged, Zhou Andong will have no prestige.

What is more serious is that this is very likely to transmit a very dangerous signal to others, that the Factory Director can't even handle Zhang Hesheng, the Factory Office Director, that Zhou Andong is famous but not real, that he is a piece of goods that is gold and jade on the outside but rotten on the inside, and the deterrent power of his series of actions at the inauguration meeting will also be greatly reduced.

By then, his work will inevitably encounter heavy obstacles and difficulties, and various troubles will follow one after another. Therefore, Zhang Hesheng must not be kept, he must be dealt with to warn others!
