Chapter 700: Airdrop

Red Star Rolling Mill

In the conference room, the airdropped Deputy Factory Director Xue pointed at several workshop directors with a livid face, scolding them for dereliction of duty and failing to complete the production tasks issued by higher-level departments on time.

Several workshop directors had bitter faces, lowering their heads and cursing in their hearts. Why couldn't the production tasks be completed? The factory was engaged in a big movement, holding meetings every few days, making workers either strike or have no heart to work. It would be strange if the tasks could be completed!

Deputy Factory Director Xue scolded for a while, so angry he drank water in large gulps. He also knew the situation in front of him and wouldn't be too harsh on the workshop directors below. After all, these workshop directors were supported by Director Li, and he didn't want to cause unhappiness, which would affect the unity of the team.

After Deputy Factory Director Xue stopped scolding, Director Guo of the first workshop took the lead to express his position, patting his chest and guaranteeing that the first workshop would correct its attitude, boost its spirit to engage in production, and no longer hold the factory back.

"Talks better than singing."

Director Liu of the fifth workshop snorted: "Old Guo, be careful that the wind doesn't flash your tongue."

Deputy Factory Director Xue pointed at Director Liu: "What are you muttering about below? Don't you know the meeting discipline?"

Old saying: Cold iron is hard to beat, old bamboo is hard to bend.

Deputy Factory Director Xue was a new official with three fires, wanting to plant a flag and establish prestige.

But most of these workshop directors were old people in the factory, each forming cliques, and with Director Li supporting them from behind, really not many people put the airdropped Deputy Factory Director Xue in their eyes.

"Know."

Director Liu apologized with a smile: "Sorry leader! I will make a self-criticism! I will definitely pay attention in the future!"

Director Li smiled and said: "Alright, go down and study the meeting discipline well. If you commit it again next time, don't blame me for punishing you to sweep the toilet."

Once these words were out, everyone laughed, and the tense and oppressive atmosphere eased and relaxed a lot.

Deputy Factory Director Xue tightened his face: "After the meeting, some people might say I am arrogant and love to put on airs, don't speak with affection, and make people unable to get off the stage. But I will still say these words. Discipline is discipline. Discipline maintains collective interests and is the rules and regulations that members must observe to ensure work progress. It is a kind of behavior rule for people, and it is also a kind of attitude. If you don't respect others, how can you get respect from others? To tell you the truth, many of you comrades are much older than me, and some comrades are even older than my father's generation. Logically speaking, I should maintain respect for you in etiquette, but work is work, discipline is discipline, there is no human affection to speak of, and we cannot talk about seniority."

Cao Cao Weiguo, sitting on the right hand side of Deputy Factory Director Xue, echoed: "Factory Director Xue is right. I guarantee that such things will not happen again in the future. After the meeting, I will distribute the factory rules and discipline to every cadre, so that everyone can strengthen their studies."

Factory Director Xue nodded and put down the pen in his hand: "Speaking behind closed doors, I know that everyone is engaged in the movement, but engaging in revolution and engaging in production do not conflict. In the future, we must reduce unnecessary meetings and put more energy into learning and production, on one hand, firming up revolutionary thoughts, and on the other hand, carrying forward the spirit of arduous struggle, shedding sweat for the construction of the motherland, and striving to add bricks and tiles to the prosperity and strength of the motherland..."

"Factory Director Xue said it well! Everyone must remember Factory Director Xue's words!"

Director Li held his water cup, his expression solemn: "Everything now is hard-won, it was fought for by countless revolutionary predecessors and suffering people with blood and sweat. As a production unit, we shoulder the heavy responsibility of building the motherland and the great mission of revitalizing the motherland, so everyone must unite, cheer up, twist into a rope, and roll up their sleeves to work hard!"

"Clap clap clap!"

After these words were finished, the participants clapped vigorously.

Director Deng said: "Director Li and Factory Director Xue are very right. However, the ideological concepts of some workers and cadres cannot keep up, so I propose that while engaging in production, ideological study must not be relaxed."

Director Guo of the first workshop raised his hand and said: "Please rest assured, leaders, I will take the lead in learning, ensure that my thoughts do not slip, and ensure that production does not fall behind! And I will strive for advancement! I guarantee that our workshop will complete both learning tasks and production tasks by 100% this quarter. Whoever dares to hold the factory back and smear the factory, I will throw him into the toilet to swim."

Director Li nodded with satisfaction: "Good! Director Guo's attitude and determination are worthy of praise, but pay attention to the methods of work. Everyone is a revolutionary comrade. If there are problems, educate and correct them. Pay attention to care and civilization, but don't use force."

Director Guo said honestly: "I know, I will listen to the leader."

Director Lu of the third workshop: "Our third workshop absolutely supports Factory Director Xue's work and guarantees to complete the tasks on time and in quantity!"

Director Qin of the seventh workshop: "I guarantee to set a good example and take the lead in charging forward..."

Cao Cao Weiguo lowered his head and wanted to laugh. This group of people was purely acting. The newly arrived Deputy Factory Director Xue carried the tasks of higher-level leaders and wanted to do a big job in the Rolling Mill, but were Director Li and these directors so easy to handle?

This meeting was purely playing with flowers and guns. After talking for a long time, there were not many real things. It was like singing a big play, speaking brilliantly, singing beautifully... After the meeting ended, they would do whatever they should do.

By the time it was almost lunch, the meeting ended successfully. Deputy Factory Director Xue walked out of the conference room with his head held high. Zhao Meihong, who had become the canteen director again, chased after Deputy Factory Director Xue from behind: "Leader, everyone has prepared a welcome banquet for you, hoping to sit down together in the evening."

Deputy Factory Director Xue: "Oh, everyone? Which comrades are there?"

Zhao Meihong replied with a smile: "There are Section Chief Cao of Logistics, Section Chief Zhao of the Security Section, the Procurement Section... not going out, just in our factory's guest house, just some home-cooked meals."

Deputy Factory Director Xue nodded: "It was organized by Section Chief Cao, right?"

Zhao Meihong: "Leader, you are wise."

Deputy Factory Director Xue: "Thank Section Chief Cao for me, I will definitely arrive on time in the evening."

In the office next to the conference room, Cao Cao Weiguo sat on the sofa drinking tea.

Director Li stood by the window smoking: "Cao Weiguo, do you have any understanding of this Xue Gang? Do you know who is behind him?"

This Xue Gang came too suddenly, so much so that Director Li knew nothing about it.

At this time, the anxiety in Director Li's heart could be imagined.

Everyone is guilty of being a thief. During this period, Li Li Huaide had not skimmed little.

He was afraid that this Xue Gang was not here to engage in production, but to engage him.

Cao Cao Weiguo blew on the tea leaves and comforted with a smile: "Leader, don't worry. I talked to Secretary Han on the phone. This Deputy Factory Director Xue is a transferred military officer with no background. He is just sent by higher-level leaders to urge production. We just need to cooperate with his work and get production up."

Cao Cao Weiguo blew on the tea leaves and smiled, offering comfort: "Don't worry, sir. I've spoken with Secretary Han on the phone. This Deputy Factory Director Xue is a retired military officer with no particular connections; he was simply sent by the higher-ups to oversee production. We just need to cooperate with his work and get production moving."
