Chapter 756

On Wednesday morning, light rain.

Li Ye drove into the First Branch Factory and walked to the office with an umbrella. On the way, he happened to meet Labor Union Chairman Lai Jiayi.

"Sigh, I really envy you, Deputy Factory Manager Li. You can commute by private car at a young age, unlike me, who has been working for nearly thirty years and still gets soaked in the rain."

Li Ye looked at Lai Jiayi and found that her trouser legs were indeed a bit wet, but far from the point of "getting soaked in the rain."

She was just envious, jealous, and hateful.

When the First Branch Factory was being built, the General Factory allocated a small car, which was allocated to Factory Manager Lu Zhizhang. So Lai Jiayi, despite her rank being half a level higher than Li Ye, had no small car to sit in.

A few days ago, Li Ye heard Lu Zhizhang say that Lai Jiayi hinted that since the First Branch Factory's efficiency is good, money should be taken from the profits to allocate cars for the three backbone leaders, but it was blocked by Lu Zhizhang.

Li Ye has his own private car, so isn't this car purchase proposal serving her Lai Jiayi alone?

So Li Ye smiled lightly: "Driving has the benefits of driving, but you have to buy oil, insurance, and road maintenance fees. If you add depreciation, it costs one or two thousand yuan a year!"

"One or two thousand yuan, oh my, how can you bear it?"

Lai Jiayi shouted exaggeratedly, and then smiled in a low voice: "Isn't your car affiliated with that Feng Hua clothing? Don't they pay for your road maintenance and insurance?"

【You are afraid that you think these cars are all Feng Hua clothing's cars, and I am holding other people's cars to make a fat face, right?】

People who are always calculating how to drill loopholes and get reimbursed by the public cannot understand the life of a car-owning family who pays one or two thousand yuan out of their own pocket a year.

So Lai Jiayi didn't believe the one or two thousand yuan Li Ye said at all.

Seeing that Li Ye didn't answer her question, Lai Jiayi said again: "By the way, Deputy Factory Manager Li, let's have a meeting of the three of us later to discuss the welfare of the employees. You have always been away these days, and we can't drag it on anymore. If we drag it on, the workers will have opinions."

This is the time for work, and many workers are going to work together. Lai Jiayi's words seem to be deliberately said for everyone to hear.

I have been seeking welfare for the employees, what do you mean by Li Ye always pushing back?

"Employee welfare matters!"

Li Ye thought for a while and said: "Since it is about the employees, let's find more people to discuss together. Let's hold an expanded cadre meeting and add the workers at the team leader level."

"This..."

Lai Jiayi hesitated. Her original intention was to hold a small meeting with Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang to decide things, get the funds, and then preside over the Labor Union meeting herself to tell the workers' representatives this good news, accumulating her prestige in the hearts of the workers.

Now Li Ye wants to hold an expanded meeting. Then, are these benefits still what she, Lai Jiayi, fought for everyone?

Grace comes from above. Lu Zhizhang sitting there will cover the light on the second and third leaders.

So Lai Jiayi hesitated and said: "Our First Branch Factory's conference room is so small, it can't seat many people!"

Li Ye said: "Let Factory Manager Lu solve this matter. Either borrow the General Factory's conference room, or just wait for a sunny day and hold an open-air meeting."

"..."

Lai Jiayi couldn't veto it, because the people around had already heard Li Ye's words. Employee welfare, of course, should be discussed by the employee congress.

Lu Zhizhang's ability to handle things is still very strong. On the same day, he communicated with the General Factory and used the General Factory's small auditorium to hold a meeting.

After the meeting, Lu Zhizhang didn't have any nonsense. He let Lai Jiayi read her proposals one by one. Although Lai Jiayi implicitly emphasized that this was the Labor Union's opinion, it sounded to all the employees that this was the "factory's" proposal, regardless of the individual.

"Do you all understand? There are four discussion topics today. First, build kindergartens and employee children's schools. Second, select excellent employees. Third, adjust employee wages. Fourth, shuttle buses and public vehicles..."

After Lai Jiayi finished reading, Lu Zhizhang summarized the content simply, and then turned to ask Li Ye: "Deputy Factory Manager Li, do you have any opinions on these four points?"

Li Ye took out a few forms from his bag and said to the microphone: "I'll just say a few words, just personal opinions, for everyone to discuss."

"I entrusted someone to investigate the enrollment rates of several middle and high schools nearby. Among them, the enrollment rate of the 13th Middle School this year is the lowest, 33% from junior high to high school, and 7.9% from high school to university..."

"But what about our General Factory's children's school? Less than 20% from junior high to high school, and less than 5% from high school to university..."

"So in general, kindergartens must be built because we have to take care of the employees' families and work, but whether we need to build primary and junior high schools ourselves is open to discussion..."

"Buzz~"

The team leaders, workshop directors, and worker representatives below were all buzzing like flies.

If the unit builds schools itself, you can go to school for free, which is worry-free and effortless, which is naturally quite good. But if the enrollment rate drops by even one percentage point, that is absolutely not allowed.

"Puff puff puff~"

Li Ye patted the microphone: "Everyone, be quiet first. I'll say my opinions all at once, and then we'll discuss them together."

"The second thing is to select excellent employees and give rewards. This proposal is very good, corresponding to the country's spirit of more pay for more work."

"But for the sake of fairness, my personal opinion is to select excellent employees according to a certain percentage, and management personnel and front-line workers should not be mixed..."

"The third thing is the issue of wage adjustment. My personal opinion is to keep the basic wage unchanged and scientifically increase post subsidies based on quality, output, and efficiency."

"The fourth thing is that the shuttle buses in our unit are indeed insufficient. I think if the funds allow, we can purchase high-standard large buses, after all, it represents the external image of our unit."

"..."

"Report, Deputy Factory Manager Li, I request to speak."

Just after Li Ye finished his four points, suddenly several people rushed to raise their hands to ask questions.

Li Ye looked and pointed to the most senior Master Old Miao.

"Master Miao, what don't you understand? Just ask."

Master Miao asked straight to the point: "Deputy Factory Manager Li, I can understand everything else, but what does it mean that management personnel and front-line workers are not mixed in the excellent employee selection?"

"Oh, this is simple," Li Ye smiled and said: "It means workers compare with workers, and management personnel compare with management personnel. Otherwise, you, Master Old Miao, have to compare strength with the typist in the microcomputer room. Isn't that bullying?"

"..."

Master Old Miao looked at Li Ye deeply and nodded slightly: "I agree with this proposal, I support it."

"I agree, I support it too!"

"Me too!"

"..."

The workers below agreed loudly and echoed Master Old Miao's opinion.

Only Lai Jiayi's face was a bit dark.

In state-owned enterprise units, the selection of various excellent and advanced employees has always been an important means for various leaders to consolidate their power.
