Chapter 838: Are You Trying to Rebel!

"Who said the new apartments have quality hazards? Which son of a b*tch wants to grab our new houses?"

"Let's go, let's go ask Deputy Factory Director Li. He just said a few days ago that he would let us all live in new apartments within five years. Why is he going back on his word today?"

"What are you in such a rush for! Has Deputy Factory Director Li ever gone back on his word? It's most likely that some trouble has cropped up over at the main factory."

"Then what should we do? I've been happy for less than two hours. Even in a dream, I wouldn't wake up this fast."

"Stop talking. Things can't be hidden in this factory. Let's split up and ask around. Let's find out clearly before we talk."

"Okay, I'll go ask my second uncle..."

"I'll go ask my aunt..."

More than half of the workers in the First Branch Factory have relationships with the General Factory, either as children of workers or workers transferred from the General Factory. The relationship network is very complex. It might be difficult to find out top-secret matters, but finding out the content of a public meeting is a matter of minutes.

There is no wall without cracks in the world. The two factory directors of the First Branch Factory argued so fiercely with the General Factory this morning; you can imagine the speed at which this "good show" spread!

So the workers of the First Branch Factory only spent one lunch hour finding out the content of the meeting, and then they collectively exploded with anger.

Good heavens, not only is the housing not being allocated, but the introduction of the new Japanese project is also uncertain.

In other words, the dream of "everyone moving into new apartments within five years" that had just spread in the factory a few days ago is likely to be completely dashed?

More importantly, at the meeting, someone clearly stated that the wages of the First Branch Factory were too high and must be adjusted, emphasizing increasing revenue, reducing expenditure, and practicing thrift.

【I'll practice thrift your sister!】

Whoever's flesh is cut, they feel the pain. The more than 260 workers who were allocated houses immediately turned into a vanguard force, with hundreds of workers acting as "auxiliary troops," rushing toward the General Factory office building in a grand and murderous manner, aiming directly at the Housing Management Section.

"What are you doing? What are you doing... You can discuss things..."

The people in the Housing Management Section were quite tough at first, roaring at the few people rushing over. After all, in the unit, the sense of superiority of the Housing Management Section over ordinary workers might be stronger than those in the Labor and Personnel Section.

Wages are given by the state; try giving me ten cents less!

But not everyone has a house. If I don't give it to you, can you bite me?

But the people in the Housing Management Section roared twice and then shut their mouths one after another.

There were too many people. The corridor was blocked, and there was a sea of heads outside that couldn't be seen to the end. Even children know the principle of "a wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him," right?

"Where is Wu Kezhang Kan? We want to have a chat with him."

"Wu Kezhang Kan is... not here!"

"Then you will do. We just want to ask, who reported to you that our First Branch Factory's new welfare building is a 'tofu-dreg' project? Who is it? Let them stand out!"

It would be a ghost story if anyone dared to admit it! It wouldn't be strange for a group of workers who were desperate to do anything.

"Let's go, let's go to the Labor and Personnel Section and ask why they want to lower our wages. What does our First Branch Factory's wages have to do with them?"

"Let's go, let's go to the Labor and Personnel Section!"

A group of people rushed to the Labor and Personnel Section with a rumble, but there was no one in the Labor and Personnel Section.

"There must be a traitor who leaked the news that we were coming in advance..."

"Who exactly is it? Let's find them, we must skin them alive..."

"Who else could it be? Those who could have been allocated a house but weren't!"

"."

With several hundred workers making such a scene inside and outside the office building, the entire unit was alarmed.

"Hey, hey, Security Section! Hurry up and send everyone to the office building. Also, notify the Joint Defense Team and the Police Station. Something big is going to happen here..."

"Nonsense! What big thing is going to happen? Do you want everyone to know? Quickly notify the First Branch Factory and have their factory director come over to stop them."

"We have already notified the First Branch Factory, but Factory Director Lu and Factory Director Li have gone out and are not at home..."

"They are trying to rebel! Where are the people from the Trade Union? Where is Lai Lai Jiayi?"

"Lai Lai Jiayi will be here immediately."

"."

Lai Lai Jiayi did indeed come quickly, but it was completely useless.

"Worker comrades, you are gathering to make trouble. This is a very serious disciplinary problem. Everyone go back first. If there are any problems, the factory will give you an explanation."

"Go to hell! Expecting you to give us an explanation is not as good as going home and dreaming about marrying a wife! It's because of people like you who are jealous of the talented and selfish that our houses were snatched. If it weren't for the fact that you are a woman, we wouldn't be finished with you today..."

"."

Lai Lai Jiayi fled in a panic. After all, she was a woman. Facing a group of angry men, her little heart was about to jump out.

Only now did she seem to understand the intention of the words Li Ye said a few days ago—"Upright to the country, upright to the masses."

Trade union cadres are supposed to unite the masses, but now, Li Ye has completely sidelined her.

Li Ye and Lu Lu Zhizhang returned an hour later.

Because Li Ye had a pager, it was called dozens of times within an hour, more urgent than the thirteen golden medals of Xia Yue Fei.

After they returned, they quickly appeased the anxious worker brothers, promising to announce the test results of the welfare building within a week, before letting the nearly one thousand workers return to the First Branch Factory to resume production.

Then Li Ye said to Lu Lu Zhizhang: "This matter was my idea. I'll go explain it to the Grand Factory Director. You go back first and keep an eye on the workers."

But Lu Lu Zhizhang smiled and said: "Why, you, the deputy factory director, want to steal my limelight? The thunder that should be taken and the punishment that should be received should all be mine as the factory director."

"Then let's go together!"

Li Ye smiled and went to the Grand Factory Director's office with Lu Lu Zhizhang.

Such an event as several hundred workers gathering to surround the office building is not an ordinary event. If the higher-ups really characterize it as a vicious event of "gathering to rebel," the consequences would be very serious.

But when Li Ye and Lu Lu Zhizhang arrived at the Grand Factory Director's office, the Grand Factory Director didn't see them, telling them to go back and reflect on themselves.

Li Ye and Lu Lu Zhizhang looked at each other, both with playful expressions.

After Li Ye and Lu Lu Zhizhang left, Xiao Xiao Jingang and others came to find the Grand Factory Director.

"Factory Director, this is simply lawless! In their eyes, is there still discipline? Is there still a country?"

"Factory Director, this matter must be reported to the Ministry and must be dealt with seriously. No matter how strong their backing is, they cannot do such things that violate principles. They are looking for death..."

Wu Kezhang Kan, Wan Kezhang, and others, who still had lingering fears, all gritted their teeth and expressed their desire to kill Li Ye and Lu Lu Zhizhang. If they hadn't been hiding under the office desk just now, they might have been bleeding from their heads.

But the Grand Factory Director looked at them coldly for a while and suddenly asked: "Has this month's procurement payment been allocated?"

Wan Kezhang looked at the Grand Factory Director in surprise before saying: "Not yet, but according to our factory's new procurement plan, we guarantee to pay the procurement funds before the 15th. Should I pay the funds a few days early?"

The current procurement model of the General Factory has been reformed. Several trading companies that supply goods have unknown relationships with the management, so the payment for goods is very timely. Paying a few days early is not impossible.

But the Grand Factory Director said in a deep voice: "No, the procurement payment for this month will be temporarily suspended and delayed until next month. Notify the Supply Section and have them restore the supply of some old relationships and make payments according to past practices."

"In addition, the sales payment must also be advanced. Half a year is too long. Shorten it to three or two months."

"."

Everyone was stunned.

They had only lived a few days of comfortable life! Why go back to the past?

Your Guan Liang earns the most. Could it be that you have earned enough and want to stop?

But we have just entered the industry!

Once some greasy food is tasted, it's not so easy to quit, or rather, it can't be quit at all.

The Grand Factory Director took a deep breath and then said in a deep voice: "You tell me, if someone from the Ministry comes to thoroughly investigate today's gathering and making trouble, what kind of result will be found?"

"."

Xiao Xiao Jingang and Wan Kezhang both felt a chill, and their faces became heavy.

Did the workers make trouble just because of those few buildings?

No, it was because of wages, because the General Factory wanted the First Branch Factory to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

But the General Factory was running well originally. Why, in less than a year, did it suddenly become unable to live without the blood transfusion from the First Branch Factory?

Some truths cannot withstand investigation, unless all the oil and water swallowed into the belly are vomited out.

Can it be vomited out?

"Then just let it go?"

"."

The Grand Factory Director closed his eyes, noncommittal.

In fact, he had been overwhelmed these past few days.

Gu Gu Jianqi went to the second line early, wanting to get some coffin money in his old age, but ended up in a miserable situation. As someone on the same line, how could he not be affected? How could he not be afraid?

Facts have proven that after the hope of promotion is gone, turning to pursue wealth is an extremely wrong path.

After everyone left, the Grand Factory Director sat silently in front of his chessboard, looking at the half-finished game.

He liked playing chess. Lu Lu Zhizhang and Li Ye had both played chess with him on this board.

Li Ye's chess skills were not good, but he was unreasonable and overbearing.

Lu Lu Zhizhang was deep and unrevealing, and the last game was merciless.
