Because he had agreed to Lao Liang's request, Fang Hanmin could not refuse even if he felt it was abrupt. He had to ask Deputy Director Liang to prepare for the afternoon meeting.
Fang Hanmin used this time in the morning to review the housing allocation plan in detail from beginning to end. Because he absorbed a lot of opinions and added some clauses, Fang Hanmin was generally satisfied with the plan.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Hanmin came to the conference room on time. Seeing that Deputy Factory Director Liang and the Director of the Factory Office had already arrived, he casually asked: "Have you received all the notifications? Have you asked for leave?"
The office director hurriedly replied: "Every notification has arrived. Deputy Factory Director Wang said that he had something to do in the afternoon and could not attend the meeting."
Lao Wang is the deputy director in charge of production. When the old director resigned, Fang Hanmin took over as director. He failed to become the director, so there was great resistance. Even though half a year had passed, Fang Hanmin convened During team member meetings, Lao Wang would either ask for leave or arrive late and leave early for various reasons, and would not cooperate with Fang Hanmin's work.
Fang Hanmin understands Lao Wang's mood, and because he is young and junior, he doesn't care about what Lao Wang does. Every time the factory-level leadership team meets, no matter whether Deputy Director Wang is absent with an excuse or is late or leaves early, he They all let it go.
Usually, the meetings mainly discuss the daily work of the factory. It doesn’t matter if Lao Wang Shen doesn’t participate. After all, as long as other members of the team agree on major decisions at work, even if Lao Wang objects afterwards, it only represents his own opinion. In the minority, Under the general principle of obeying the majority, Lao Wang's opinion is insignificant.
But the purpose of today's meeting is different. The housing allocation plan is related to the interests of everyone in the factory, including Lao Wang. If Lao Wang does not participate, it will be difficult if he raises objections afterwards.
As several other team members arrived one after another, Deputy Director Liang asked: "Shall we get started?"
Fang Hanmin waved his hand and told the director of the factory office: "Don't worry, Director Zhang. You go call Deputy Factory Director Wang and ask him to come to the meeting."
"Lao Wang has already asked for leave. If we wait any longer, he won't come!" Lao Liang reminded.
"We are discussing the housing allocation plan today, and he must attend this meeting from beginning to end! Think about it, if Deputy Director Wang was absent from today's meeting, if he raised any different opinions afterwards, saying that we ignored his interests and deliberately caused trouble, How can I explain to him? Who among you can convince him?" Fang Hanmin knew that among the deputies, Lao Wang was the oldest and did not take his colleagues in the team seriously at all.
"But, he said he had something to do in the afternoon and asked for leave!" the director of the factory office reminded again.
"I was still at work in the morning. When I heard that there was a meeting in the afternoon, I asked for leave. This is the usual practice of Deputy Factory Director Wang. Don't you know? Director Zhang, call him at home and ask him to attend the meeting. Tell us that we These people are waiting for him in the conference room, if he doesn’t come, we will wait forever!”
Fang Hanmin was a little fed up with what Lao Wang had done in the past six months. He deliberately did not attend factory-level leadership team meetings. Fang Hanmin did not care about him because the business scope he was in charge of was all under Fang Hanmin's control. With or without him, Fang Hanmin , will not have any impact on the production of the entire factory. Lao Wang himself is willing to be marginalized, and Fang Hanmin can only let nature take its course.
However, Lao Wang's attitude of going his own way is a contempt for the members of the leadership team, especially Fang Hanmin. After all, Fang Hanmin is the director of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory appointed by the superior organization. Not to mention the director of the first factory, even for ordinary colleagues, A minimum of mutual respect is also a must.
At the beginning, Fang Hanmin didn't take Lao Wang's actions seriously. He thought that as time went by, when Lao Wang's anger subsided, everything would return to normal.
Unexpectedly, Lao Wang is very stubborn and has endless grievances in his heart. As a key member of the leadership team of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, his behavior is not only demeaning but also seriously undermines the unity of the factory-level leadership team. For a period of time, General Manager Fang Hanmin I wanted to find an opportunity to give him a kind warning. The content of today's meeting was related to the vital interests of every employee in the factory. Fang Hanmin wanted to use this opportunity to wake him up.
Because Lao Wang has a bad temper, the director of the factory office, Lao Zhang, usually doesn't want to face him, so he embarrassedly said: "Call his home. Deputy Factory Director Wang may not be at home."
Fang Hanmin said with certainty: "He is 100% at home. Just call his home. I guarantee you can find him."
Seeing Fang Hanmin's resolute attitude, the factory director Lao Zhang had no choice but to get up and go back to the office. He dialed Lao Wang's four-digit internal phone number. After a few rings, the other party picked up and asked, "Who is it?"
The director of the factory office recognized Lao Wang's voice, "Director Wang, are you at home? I'm Xiao Zhang, the factory office manager."
"Oh, Xiao Zhang, what do you want from me?" Lao Wang was a little impatient.
"Director Fang asked me to tell you to go back to the factory for a meeting."
"When I announced the meeting in the morning, didn't I ask for leave from you? Didn't you make it clear to Fang Hanmin?"
The director of the factory office was afraid that Lao Wang would blame him, so he hurriedly explained: "I told him, but he said that today's meeting is very important and you must participate, so he forced me to call you."
"Then tell him again that my family has something to do and I can't go!"
"Director Wang, Fang Hanmin said that if you don't come, other members of the team will be waiting for you. They are all waiting in the conference room."
"If you want to wait, let him wait. I have something to do, but I just can't go. Let's see what Fang Hanmin can do to me!" Lao Wang said arrogantly.
Director Zhang was also in a dilemma, "Director Wang, I think you'd better come. If you don't come, he may ask me to call you later."
Deputy Factory Director Wang felt that the director of the factory office was overestimating his abilities, "I don't need you to give me any advice on whether to go or not. Also, tell Fang Hanmin that no matter how many times he asks you to call, I won't go!" After that, Lao Wang hung up the phone.
Factory Director Lao Zhang returned to the conference room and reported the call truthfully to Fang Hanmin. Perhaps he had expected Lao Wang's attitude. Fang Hanmin was not angry, but said calmly: "Okay, then we will wait patiently for a while. "
After a few minutes, Fang Hanmin asked the director of the factory office to call Lao Wang again. Director Zhang said awkwardly: "Director Fang, on the phone just now, Deputy Director Wang already expressed his attitude. Besides, even if he figured it out, I’m willing to come to the meeting, but I’m still halfway there. I’m afraid it wouldn’t be appropriate to call him at this time, right?”
"There's nothing inappropriate. I said at the beginning that Deputy Director Wang must attend today's meeting! Go call him. If no one answers, it means he has already come to the factory and may be in the middle of the night. On the way. If he answers the phone, tell him clearly that if he can't be invited after repeated attempts, we will move the meeting venue to his home, and we, the team members, will go to his home for the meeting. To have so many people respect him, this is always Is that okay?”
When the director of the factory office dialed the internal phone number of Deputy Factory Director Wang's home again, Lao Wang said impatiently: "Xiao Zhang, didn't I tell you? Just tell Fang Hanmin directly that I just don't want to participate in today's meeting." Whatever he wants to do with the meeting!”
"Director Wang, Fang Hanmin asked me to tell you that if you insist on not coming to the meeting, he will move the venue to your home and let the team members come to your home for the meeting. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Deputy Factory Director Wang immediately jumped up, "Is he crazy? Why did he move the venue to my house? I don't have time to serve him!"
Because he was caught between Fang Hanmin and Lao Wang, Director Zhang of the factory office felt very uncomfortable. He was also a little annoyed with Lao Wang, so he teased him more and more: "Fang Hanmin said, you are highly respected and have the most seniority in the factory leadership team." The other members should respect you, so the venue will be moved to your home."
Lao Wang didn't have time to care about the teasing made by the factory director. He only cared about what Fang Hanmin said, "Did Fang Hanmin really say this?"
"These are his exact words. If you don't believe it, you can ask other team members. Do I, an errand boy, dare to say such things to you, Factory Manager Wang?"
Lao Wang recalled that he felt that the director of the factory office did not lie. Based on his understanding of Director Zhang over the years, he thought that Lao Zhang would not dare to tell him such a lie! "ok, I get it."
Just when Lao Wang was about to hang up the phone again, Director Zhang hurriedly asked: "Director Wang, are you coming to the meeting or not?"
"What a shame! Didn't I tell you that I knew it?" After saying that, Lao Wang hung up the phone with a bang.
The director of the factory office, who was also a middle-aged man in his late fifties, was scolded by Lao Wang for no reason. Fortunately, no one else was present, otherwise he would have been very embarrassed. Holding back his anger, Lao Zhang returned to the conference room angrily and sat down on a chair near the door.
"Director Zhang, did Deputy Director Wang answer the phone?" Fang Hanmin asked calmly.
Because he was angry with Deputy Factory Director Wang on the phone, Lao Zhang was in a very low mood and said, "Took the answer."
"Oh——, that means that Deputy Factory Director Wang is unwilling to attend the meeting no matter what. It seems that today's meeting will have to be held at his home. Director Zhang, did you convey my words to him on the phone just now? ?”
"I told him everything without missing a word."
"How did he react?"
"I was very angry. He even beat me up and hung up the phone after saying that."
No wonder the director of the factory office was so depressed. It turned out that he was angry with Lao Wang. Fang Hanmin understood his mood, "Director Zhang, Deputy Factory Director Wang has such a temper. He is a senior factory leader. Please be patient and don't take it personally." Go. Wait another ten minutes. If Deputy Factory Director Wang still doesn’t come, we will have a meeting at his house."
Chief Engineer Lao Xia was afraid that Deputy Director Wang would not be able to come to Taiwan, so he asked worriedly: "Director Fang, are you really going to Lao Wang's house for a meeting?"
"What else should I do? Everyone has seen that Director Zhang invited him twice in a row, and Deputy Factory Director Wang refused to attend the meeting, but he must be allowed to participate in today's meeting! Again and again, and no more, since Deputy Factory Director Wang With his frame so high, we can only accommodate him and move the venue to his house!"
"Ouch! The same goes for Lao Wang. Why are we just having a meeting? Why is it so tense?"
Although they are not very good personal friends, Lao Xia and Deputy Director Wang have more contact at work. The two have some common views on technical issues throughout the factory. Lao Xia believes that the superior organization should let Fang Hanmin succeed Hongxing. The director of the pharmaceutical factory was very unfair to the veteran deputy director Wang, but he was wise enough to protect himself and did not dare to blatantly complain on behalf of old Wang.
Lao Wang had always been against Fang Hanmin at work. Lao Xia thought it was a way to vent his dissatisfaction, which was understandable. In the past, Fang Hanmin never minded whether Lao Wang came or not during team meetings, but he found that the situation was abnormal today. From the beginning, Fang Hanmin emphasized the importance of the meeting and immediately asked the director of the factory office to call Lao Wang.
The first time he heard that the venue was going to be moved to Lao Wang's house, Mr. Xia thought Fang Hanmin was joking. When Fang Hanmin said this again, he thought Director Fang was serious and worried that if the matter got too big, no one would Can't get off stage.
