Chapter 1276: Conference Room

Red Star Rolling Mill

Cao Weiguo had just come out of the canteen when Officer Liu ran over: "Section Chief Cao, the factory director is calling you to the conference room for a meeting."

"Got it, I'll go right over."

Returning to the office to get his fountain pen and notebook, Cao Weiguo headed straight for the conference room.

At this time, the people in the conference room had almost arrived, chatting and discussing with each other.

After Cao Weiguo sat down, Director Fang sat beside him: "Weiguo, how is Changchun?"

Cao Weiguo smiled and said: "Good! The people are enthusiastic, actively forging ahead, and everything is flourishing."

Director Fang: "The Northeast is an important industrial base in our country and the cradle of industry. I have always hoped to work in the Northeast and contribute more strength to the construction of the motherland."

The two were talking when Factory Director Li and Deputy Factory Director Nie walked into the conference room, and it suddenly became silent.

"Meeting!"

After Factory Director Li sat down, he gave a brilliant speech with a solemn expression: "Many things have happened in the factory recently, and many problems have been exposed. We say, the urgent task is to find the key problem. What is the key problem? Everyone should pay attention! The key problem is that we must find the key to the problem... So... if, on the key problem, the key link, we can't find that key, then we can't solve the key problem. If we can't solve the key problem, then we need to seriously reflect and seriously self-criticize. We must actively face the problem, find the problem, and solve the problem... So how to solve the problem? That requires us to find the key to the problem..."

"Clap, clap, clap..."

After the speech, Cao Weiguo took the lead in clapping vigorously, as if he had suddenly realized, cleared the clouds and mist, saw the direction of progress, and opened the door to a new world...

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Deputy Factory Director Nie had a dark face, and his knife-like eyes swept across, and the whole scene returned to silence.

Compared to Factory Director Li's brilliant speech, Deputy Factory Director Nie was clearly not coming with good intentions.

"Corruption, waste, and dereliction of duty are all great crimes!"

Deputy Factory Director Nie said seriously with a straight face: "Everyone present is a public servant of the people. If you cannot serve the people, if you cannot satisfy the people, and make contributions to the prosperity and development of the motherland, then what is the use of you? Propaganda Department! Tell us about your recent work situation!"

For a time, everyone looked at Xu Damao with gloating.

The head of the Propaganda Department was an old slicker. Because there was a problem with the work of the Propaganda Department, he directly took sick leave and hid at home to be idle, pushing Xu Damao, who had been the deputy section chief for not long, to the front.

Xu Damao stood up with a dry laugh: "Here, I would like to self-criticize to the factory director, deputy factory director, and all the leaders. During this period, our Propaganda Department's propaganda work was not in place, and there were some small omissions in the work..."

"Bang!"

Before Xu Damao could finish his words, Deputy Factory Director Nie slapped the table and shouted in a stern voice: "Is that an omission in your Propaganda Department's work? That's a problem! A very serious problem! Look at how other units do propaganda! Look at how our factory does work! Look at what your blackboard newspapers and slogans are written! Look at the content of your broadcasts! Look at the manuscripts you handed in! It's a mess, bullshit... If you can do it, do it! If you can't do it, get out early! Don't waste the food that the peasant brothers worked hard to grow! The people don't need waste like you either!"

Xu Damao was so scared that he shivered, and he lowered his head, not daring to breathe, with sweat beads falling from his forehead, fearing that he would be stripped of his hard-won position if he was not careful.

Deputy Factory Director Nie sternly swept across everyone present: "Don't think this is just a matter for the Propaganda Department. This relates to the ideological problems of the whole factory, the honor of the whole factory, and even the future of the whole factory... The propaganda work of the Propaganda Department is not in place and should be punished. You did not support the work of the Propaganda Department, did not actively contribute, did not actively make up for the omissions, did not seriously study the revolutionary spirit... and should also be criticized. The subsidies for each department this month will be halved! Xu Damao! You must seriously self-criticize! If the propaganda work is still not done well! Then you go clean the toilet, and do some things within your power, don't waste food!"

Everyone present suddenly had a bitter face, and many people glared at Xu Damao, complaining that the Propaganda Department's work was done poorly and implicated them.

Xu Damao sat down like a funeral, with his head lowered like a frost-beaten eggplant.

Deputy Factory Director Nie turned his head to look at Director Deng: "Director Deng, you say a few words."

Director Deng was in charge of party affairs and also held the position of secretary.

It was just that the situation had been surging recently, and his position was a bit hot. He couldn't sleep all night, and he had no problem eating. In the morning, he only ate five of his favorite pig trotters. Hey, he was really worried that he would starve himself into a problem.

Hearing Deputy Factory Director Nie ask him to speak, Director Deng spoke symbolically: "Now the people of the whole country are of one heart... We must serve the people wholeheartedly, be willing to be the cattle and horses of the people, we must be diligent and thrifty, work hard, be strict with ourselves, and have the spirit of not being afraid of hardship or fatigue... If you can eat one meal a day, don't eat two, if you can eat one corn bun a day, don't drink another bowl of porridge. We must save food so that the workers can eat well..."

Director Deng spoke from the bottom of his heart, sincerely and down-to-earth, which made everyone deeply educated and moved to tears.

Factory Director Li pressed his hand: "I want to commend Comrade Cao Weiguo of the logistics department. For the safety and health of the worker brothers, Comrade Cao Weiguo traveled to the Northeast without fear of hardship, and seriously and carefully purchased and inspected labor protection supplies... This spirit of being faithful to his duties and being serious and responsible is worth learning from everyone."

Cao Weiguo secretly thought that this Factory Director Li was decent, and that bag of local specialties was not sent in vain.

After Factory Director Li finished his speech, Cao Weiguo stood up modestly: "Serving the worker brothers is my duty. If you want to say who in the whole factory cares most about the safety and health of the worker brothers, it must be Factory Director Li. Before I set off, Factory Director Li gave me many instructions..."

Cao Weiguo and Factory Director Li flattered each other, and the cadres present had smiles on their faces.

Xu Damao sat in his seat, looking at the spring-breezy Cao Weiguo, feeling indescribable jealousy and injustice.

This Cao Weiguo was commended after one business trip, why should he work hard and still be the scapegoat and be scolded!

These factory leaders are all blind! Biased! A bunch of wine bags and rice sacks!

When I take power, I will let you all go clean the toilets, so as not to waste the country's food!

After the meeting, Factory Director Li called Cao Weiguo to his office and smiled and handed Cao Weiguo a cigarette.

Factory Director Li was radiant: "Weiguo, that bottle of Three-Whip Seven-Treasure Wine you brought back is really good. Your sister-in-law specifically asked me to ask you if you have time to have a simple meal at home tonight."

Cao Weiguo smiled and said: "Sister-in-law wants to invite me to dinner? If I have time, of course I have time."

Factory Director Li said happily: "Then it's settled, come to my house tonight, let's have a few drinks."

Because of the bottle of Three-Whip Seven-Treasure Wine that Cao Weiguo sent, he had rarely regained his prestige.

Not only was his wife happy, but he was also extremely excited.

This time inviting Cao Weiguo to dinner at home, connecting feelings was secondary, mainly because he wanted a few more bottles of divine wine.

That taste was truly endless aftertaste!

After tasting it once, he wanted to taste it a second time, and after tasting it a second time, he wanted a third, a fourth... ===== CHAPTER 1278 =====
