Chapter 41

"You are really too polite, Factory Chief Yang" He Yuzhu again chatted with Factory Chief Yang for a while, the secretary knocked on the door and came in saying: "Factory Chief Yang, the attendees for the meeting have all arrived."

Hearing the secretary's words, Factory Chief Yang said: "Little He, you must have seen the transfer order as well; we are going to establish a safety production leadership group. Originally this meeting should have been presided over by Secretary Liu, but now Secretary Liu has gone to Ha City for inspection, so I will convene this meeting now. Let's go together." After saying that, the two walked toward the meeting room.

Arriving at the meeting room, He Yuzhu followed behind Factory Chief Yang and walked in. "Little He, where will you sit?" Factory Chief Yang pointed to his original seat and said, then he himself sat in the chief seat and said: "Comrades, today I want to study the matter of establishing the safety production leadership group office. Next, we welcome Comrade He Yuzhu from Huaxia University. Everyone, welcome." He led the applause.

After the applause, He Yuzhu stood up and said: "Factory Chief Yang, all leaders, I also came out of our factory; returning to the factory is like returning to my maiden home, so you don't need to be so polite."

"Ah, Little He, you don't need to be modest; I heard that your safety production paper was seen by that person from the State Council and even received praise. We will still need to rely on you in the future."

Hearing Factory Chief Yang's words, the people in the meeting room began to discuss. Factory Chief Yang then said: "Everyone, please quiet down. Next, we invite Comrade He Yuzhu to explain to everyone what the safety production theory is."

Hearing Factory Chief Yang's words, He Yuzhu said: "Alright, then I won't be modest anymore, Factory Chief Yang. I will now first explain to everyone why we need a complete production manual, which I will call the Employee Safety Production Manual." He Yuzhu paused and then said.

"First, our country's industrial foundation is relatively weak compared to those developed countries such as White Bear and Beautiful Country; therefore, during the production process, some safety hazards will appear. Once an accident occurs, lightly it causes personnel injuries, heavily it leads to death."

"No matter from which angle these two points are discussed, they will be adverse to the parties involved, or to our later production. Then where can we prevent these safety hazards from happening? This is why I wrote such an article on safety production theory." After saying that, He Yuzhu walked to the blackboard and wrote the words "Strictly prohibit drinking before work", then turned around and said.

"Then I will give an example, which also happened in our factory. At that time, our steel rolling mill was still called Lou's Yagangchang. In one workshop, a worker drank alcohol at noon, came to work in the afternoon reeking of alcohol, and unfortunately, during operation, his hand was cut off by a gate knife. Although he received timely treatment and did not suffer major bleeding, his hand is permanently gone."

"Therefore, having a complete safety operation manual is extremely important. Next, I will work with everyone to write the Employee Safety Production Manual for our Red Star Yagangchang, firmly eliminating safety production accidents." After He Yuzhu finished speaking, the crowd again burst into applause. He Yuzhu expressed his thanks to everyone and then returned to his seat and sat down.

After the meeting ended and it was already noon, everyone went to the second cafeteria to prepare for a meal. Just after entering, Xiao Zhang saw He Yuzhu, and seeing a group of leaders behind him, Xiao Zhang dared not go forward to speak.

At noon, a group of people drank a lot of wine; of course, He Yuzhu refused to drink even when it was his third cup. After the meal, He Yuzhu dozed off in the temporarily arranged office and only woke up around four o'clock. After He Yuzhu drank a cup of water and heard someone knocking on the door, he said "Please come in." He pushed the door open and a little girl walked in, saying: "Advisor He, Section Chief Wang asks you to go to his office." He Yuzhu responded "Okay," and the two left He Yuzhu's office.

Arriving at Section Chief Wang's office, after He Yuzhu was seated, Wang said: "Advisor He, I heard you used to work at our factory; in your future work, you must definitely give more guidance."

He Yuzhu took the water that the little girl had just poured for him and said: "Section Chief Wang, you are too polite; being able to serve our factory is my honor. I don't dare to call it guidance; rather, Section Chief Wang, you should support my work more in the future. I still need to hurry back to school."

The two chatted for a while, then came to the Safety Production Group office. The office had a total of six people, all transferred from various positions. After entering the office, Wang said: "This is our advisor, Advisor He Yuzhu. Everyone, welcome."

After He Yuzhu thanked everyone, he said: "Now let's get to the main topic." He went to the blackboard and wrote the twelve big characters: "Safety first, prevention foremost, comprehensive governance." After writing them, He Yuzhu said: "Then our future work will revolve around these twelve characters and be combined with the ten prohibitions to carry out work."

Then he also said to Wang: "Section Chief Wang, do we have copies of my safety production theory here? If so, distribute one to each person. Today let everyone first, and starting tomorrow we will go to the factory to have a look, then return to compile it."

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Section Chief Wang said: "Yes, Advisor He, I will distribute them shortly." He Yuzhu then briefly explained the main points of the safety production theory to everyone, and he and Wang left the office. He Yuzhu, using having something to do as an excuse, first left the steel rolling mill, mounted his bicycle at the gate, and rode toward the Courtyard House.

Arriving at the Courtyard House, He Yuzhu went straight to the central courtyard and saw that his house's roof was gone. Lai Youning was directing workers to clear broken bricks outside the door, and a large pile of building materials was placed at the entrance. Seeing He Yuzhu arrive, Lai Youning hurried over and said: "Brother Zhuzi, you've come; tomorrow we can finish putting up the roof, after that we'll start working on the interior. I've calculated that at this pace, about half a month will be enough. You need to hurry with the fireplace; before painting the walls, you need to get it ready."

"Alright, Master Lai, I'll do it tomorrow if I have time." He Yuzhu gave Lai Youning a few more instructions, then left the Courtyard House.

Leaving the Courtyard House, he thought he hadn't visited He Yushui in a while, so he rode his bicycle toward Wang Youde's house. Upon arriving at Wang Youde's house, he happened to catch He Yushui and the other person finishing school. At the alley entrance, He Yushui saw He Yuzhu, ran over and said: "Brother, did you bring me something tasty to eat?" He Yuzhu felt a wave of black lines 【i. e., was speechless】, thinking: When did this little girl become such a little glutton?

Left the Courtyard House, thinking he had time and hadn't gone to see Yushui, he then rode his bicycle to Wang Youde's house, arriving just in time to catch Yushui and another friend leaving school; at the lane entrance, after seeing He Yuzhu, He Yushui ran over and said, "Brother, did you bring me something good to eat?" He Yuzhu was speechless, thinking, "When did this little girl become such a little foodie?"
