"Yesterday, an eighth-grade fitter from the steel rolling mill came to our machinery factory to apply for a job. He showed off as a master craftsman, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even use basic tools."
Wang Weidong was a little surprised when he heard what Deputy Director Zhao said: "What is an eighth-level worker who doesn't know how to use a fitter?"
"Yes." Seeing that Wang Weidong didn't believe it, Deputy Factory Director Zhao explained in detail: "The man's name is Yi Zhonghai. All the workers in our workshop were watching him yesterday. His craftsmanship is not even as good as that of an apprentice."
Well, it turns out to be Yi Zhonghai, so that makes sense.
Yi Zhonghai was originally a parallel importer, and since he had not practiced it for seven or eight years, he was not necessarily as good as those small workers who were busy on the front lines all day long.
"This shows that people should not be complacent just because of some achievements, otherwise they will be eliminated sooner or later."
"Yes, yes, Director Liu, what you said makes sense."
....
After visiting the workshop, it was already noon.
The reception work was handled by the logistics department. Before Director Liu Feng could say anything, Cui Dake walked up with his face licked.
"Director Liu, look, it's noon now and the workers should get off work. How about we go to the cafeteria and have a working meal?"
"Working meal?" Wang Weidong seemed to have remembered something and looked at Cui Dake meaningfully.
"work meal!"
Cui Dake suddenly felt happy.
It turns out that Factory Manager Liu likes delicious food.
I thought he was invulnerable!
As long as there is a shortcoming, he will find a way to overcome it.
The canteen is one-third of an acre owned by Cui Dake. When Cui Dake gave the order, Wang Dashao naturally took out the long-cherished ingredients without hesitation and cooked a large table of exquisite dishes.
Braised pork ribs, braised sea cucumber with green onions, braised chicken with mushrooms, boiled beef, steamed vermicelli with garlic paste, braised hairtail... and more than a dozen meat dishes.
There are two hanging bananas next to it.
Seeing Liu Feng and Wang Weidong come in, Cui Dake stood in front of the dining table and nodded arrogantly at Liu Feng.
"Director, what do you think? This table is just fine for a working meal!"
Cui Dake simply had pride on his face at this moment.
No wonder he is so proud. In the current situation of scarcity of supplies, it is not an easy task to get such a big table dish.
Especially the two hanging bright yellow bananas are even more rare and can only be seen on important occasions.
Although Liu Feng was unwilling to be extravagant and wasteful, he could only nod and smile, "Director Cui, thank you."
While he was talking, Wang Weidong had already walked to the table, and Cui Dake quickly moved over and pulled out his chair.
"Director Liu, please take a seat. Today's meal is a bit makeshift, so please forgive me."
Wang Weidong did not sit down, but stared at the dishes with a weird smile on his face: "Director Cui, is this the work meal you are talking about?"
"Yes, of course it's a work meal!" Cui Dake felt something was wrong and his heart trembled.
Wang Weidong chuckled and said, "So, the workers in your machinery factory all eat this kind of work meal?"
"Then, how is that possible!" Cui Dake said hesitantly with beads of sweat on his forehead: "You are a distinguished guest of our machinery factory, so you must be treated differently. Ordinary workers are not as important as you."
"boom!"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Weidong slammed the table: "Comrade Cui Dake, does this mean that I have separated from the masses?"
"Ah... no, absolutely not!" Cui Dake waved his hands repeatedly.
Wang Weidong glared: "Since I am not separated from the masses, you are just trying to harm me by preparing such a big table of food! The workers are nibbling radish cubes, and I am hiding here eating and drinking. If it gets spread, what will the workers think? Me? Even though this is a machinery factory, I can’t tolerate your misbehavior!"
Cui Dake didn't expect that Wang Weidong would elevate a small matter to such a high level. He was always sharp-tongued and couldn't say a word now.
How could this man do this?
I kindly prepared a large table of dishes for him, but he didn't appreciate it.
Prude.
Liu Feng and the leaders of the factory next to him saw Wang Weidong getting angry and looked at Wang Weidong with admiration.
No wonder Wang Weidong has been commended by ministries and commissions many times. Look at his thoughts and his style, he feels ashamed!
Factory Director Liu Feng had long been dissatisfied with Cui Dake and took the opportunity to say: "Director Liu, there is indeed something wrong with Director Cui's thinking. Later, I will hold a factory committee meeting to discuss his problems collectively."
"Now I can have people throw out the food on the table, and then have them make some work meals and bring them over."
"Throw it out? Old Liu, why are you so rigid? If you throw it away, it won't be a waste of food for such a good dish." Wang Weidong said slowly: "I think it can be sent to the canteen so that the comrades workers can also eat meat. "
"Okay, okay, this is a good idea!"
Director Liu Feng's eyes lit up.
He turned to look at Wang Dashao, who had been hiding outside the door: "Chef Wang, please follow Factory Manager Liu's instructions and bring these dishes to the canteen. Also, ask someone to find some clean lunch boxes. We need them today." Let’s go to the cafeteria with Factory Manager Liu to have a meal with the workers.”
....
"Hey, did you hear that? Director Cui's meal for Factory Director Liu has been brought to the cafeteria."
"Really? Then I have to try it."
"We have thousands of workers in our machinery factory. If we put the food in everyone's mouth, it won't be enough to fill their teeth!"
"You don't understand anything at all. This is not about food, it's about dignity!"
"In the past, the factory leaders hid in the cafeteria and ate small meals, but we had to eat the old cabbage gang. Why!"
"That's right, the factory belongs to our workers, so why should they enjoy the hot food? Director Liu is standing up for our workers, so naturally we have to support him."
"Yeah..."
The workers in the machinery factory had long been dissatisfied with Cui Dake. After hearing the news, they gathered outside the canteen.
When Wang Weidong's figure appeared, a burst of fierce applause suddenly broke out from the crowd.
Seeing that Wang Weidong was so popular, Director Liu Feng began to consider Cui Dake's problem.
For a long time, in order not to destroy the unity of the leadership of the machinery factory, he repeatedly tolerated Cui Dake's misbehavior.
Thinking about it now, maybe it wasn't a wise approach.
As the factory director, Liu Feng also wanted the workers' applause.
.....
boom!
Office of the Director of Logistics.
A brand new hot water bottle was thrown to the ground, and the hot water started to flow.
The secretary standing aside saw Cui Dake's angry look and was so frightened that he hid beside him and did not dare to say a word.
Cui Dake gritted his teeth and walked around the room.
"I had good intentions and entertained him with good wine and food, but he took the opportunity to mess with me."
"I think he is sincerely trying to get in trouble with me!"
"Hmph, I, Cui Dak, must let him know that I am not someone to be trifled with."
Just when Cui Dake made up his mind to compete with Wang Weidong, a voice came from the side.
"Old Cui, have you ever thought that maybe Director Liu is this kind of person?"
The secretary next to him breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
At this time, the only one who could calm Cui Dake down was Ding Qiunan.
Sure enough, Cui Dake was stunned for a moment and ran to Ding Qiunan with a puzzled look on his face.
"Qiu Nan, what do you mean?"
Ding Qiunan elegantly changed her sitting position and said with a smile: "You once told me before that as long as you are a human being, you will have flaws."
Hearing this, Cui Dake waved his hand to signal her to stop first. He turned to look at the secretary standing aside: "Xiao Liu, you have nothing to do here. You go first. I will take care of these glass slags later." Ask the cleaners to take care of it."
"Okay..." The secretary felt that his days were like years as he stayed nearby. He smiled quickly, turned around and left the office, closing the door.
Hearing the footsteps getting further and further away, Cui Dake complained: "How could you talk about those things! That's the secret to my promotion."
"Haha, whether you dare to do something or not, you are still a man!" Ding Qiunan rolled his eyes.
Cui Dake really had nothing to do with his beautiful daughter-in-law. He could only sneer and say: "Daughter-in-law, what did you want to say just now? Continue."
Ding Qiunan is a technical secondary school student who is naturally smart. If it were not for his background, he would have been admitted to university.
Therefore, after getting married, Cui Dake would discuss many matters with Ding Qiunan.
Ding Qiunan lived up to his expectations and gave constructive suggestions.
It can be said that Cui Dake's success is inseparable from Ding Qiunan's idea.
Cui Dake's face made Ding Qiunan feel a little disgusted. He curled his lips and said: "Back then, you told me that people have shortcomings. As long as you catch that person's shortcomings, you will catch that person. For example, Liu Feng's shortcomings He takes the overall situation into consideration. In order not to destroy unity, he can compromise on many things. Deputy Director Zhao's shortcoming is indecision. When facing him, we must take tough measures."
As he spoke, Ding Qiunan emphasized his tone: "The reason why you helped Liu Hongchang prepare so many fine wines and dishes is because you think his shortcoming is that he likes delicious food, right?"
"That's right!" Cui Dake nodded: "Ever since I found out that Liu Hongchang was coming to the machinery factory, I tried every means to find out his preferences. This man doesn't like money or women. His few shortcomings are, He just likes delicious food, no wonder, when he was in Ningzhou, he was a cook, and there is no bad chef."
"You, you are too shallow to judge people. As the director of Orchid Automobile Factory, Liu Hongchang has never attended any banquet. How could he be fascinated by your dishes?"
"you mean...."
Cui Dake knew that Ding Qiunan had an idea at this time.
He quickly knelt down and begged: "Daughter-in-law, please help me this time. You also know that as long as my status is high, our life will be easier."
"Also, as long as I become the director of the factory, I can send your parents to a big hospital."
This is also the reason why Ding Qiunan has been helping Cui Dake over the years.
Ding Qiunan was born in a poor family, and his father and mother were also in poor health. They all relied on Ding Qiunan and Cui Dake.
Ding Qiunan sighed: "Old Cui, people like Liu Hongchang are well-informed, and material wealth can no longer meet his needs. If you want to curry favor with him, you can only start from the spiritual level."
"Spiritual level..." Cui Dake was stunned for a moment and asked: "What spirit?"
"I don't know this either. I have never met Liu Hongchang or been in contact with him. How could I know his hobbies?" Ding Qiunan spread his hands.
"This is easy to handle. I will arrange a place for him to stay later. You just need to follow me and you can see him."
For the sake of his own future, Cui Dake decided to let his wife take action in person and meet Liu Hongchang for a while.
.....
After visiting the last workshop, Wang Weidong looked at Liu Feng and nodded with a smile: "Old Liu, the production work of your machinery factory is well arranged. It shows that you, the factory director, are capable of doing things."
Wang Weidong has inspected many state-owned factories, and there are indeed few whose workers' mental outlook can surpass that of machinery factories.
In a factory, advanced machinery and equipment are important, but the most important thing is skilled workers.
Liu Feng smiled modestly: "Director Liu, thank you for your praise. How can our machinery factory compare to your automobile factory? The promptness of your workers is enough!"
Wang Weidong laughed and did not deny this.
Lanhua Automobile Factory experienced the turmoil a while ago. A large number of old employees of the FAW Factory were laid off, and the atmosphere suddenly improved.
Next to him, Deputy Director Zhao raised his wrist and glanced: "Yeah, it's almost five o'clock in the afternoon. Director Liu should take a rest after a busy day."
Cui Dake, who had been waiting on the side for a long time, walked forward with his face licked: "Leader, the room in the guest house is ready. Don't worry, it will not exceed the standard this time."
There was no trace of frustration or anger on Cui Dake's face at this time, which made Wang Weidong glance at him.
However, thinking about it, it is impossible to be promoted from a member of the club to the director of the logistics department without a few points in the city.
Of course, Wang Weidong would not argue with Cui Dake on these trivial matters, which would make him appear weak.
"Then there's Director Lautry."
....
Wang Weidong and Liu Changyi were led by Cui Dake to the guest house of the machinery factory.
The situation is similar to the guest house in the steel rolling mill. This is also an old-fashioned tube building.
Just as he reached the door, Wang Weidong suddenly stopped.
He saw Ding Qiunan.
Today, Ding Qiunan was wearing a white doctor's gown. The gown was a bit wide, but it could not hide her good figure.
She has fair skin, an oval face, curved eyebrows, and black eyes like pearls. Her ponytail is simply tied behind her back, and her hands are in her pockets. Her temperament has suddenly risen a lot, and she has the youthfulness of a little girl. Vitality and an adult flavor.
For a moment, Wang Weidong was dazed.
While Wang Weidong looked at Ding Qiunan, Ding Qiunan was also secretly observing Wang Weidong.
With a bronze complexion, a tough appearance, and a tall body, he stood like an iron tower.
His whole body was filled with a sense of strength unique to men, especially the bulging muscles that were vaguely visible under his shirt, which made Ding Qiunan couldn't help but squeeze his legs.
Compared with Wang Weidong, Cui Dake standing next to him was a wretched man.
When Cui Dake saw Wang Weidong staring at Ding Qiunan, he was furious and was about to go up and talk to Wang Weidong.
However, something moved in his heart.
The original intention of bringing Ding Qiunan to the guest house was to let Ding Qiunan find out Wang Weidong's weaknesses.
Unexpectedly, Wang Weidong exposed his weaknesses as soon as they met.
only....
Cui Dake was a little reluctant to pay the price for seizing this weakness.
....
