Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

After greeting everyone in the courtyard early in the morning, Zhang Renkang hurriedly rode his bicycle to the steel mill with Yu Li. In January, Zhang Renkang bought a bicycle for Yu Haitang and Yu Li respectively. Yu Haitang was so happy that she kissed Zhang Renkang excitedly when Yu Li was not paying attention, causing Zhang Renkang to almost accidentally fire his gun on the spot.

The Yu family was very satisfied with this son-in-law. Not only did they buy a bicycle and a sewing machine for Yu Li, they also bought a bicycle for Yu Haitang and Yu's father, and sent Yu Feng to work in the kitchen of the steel mill as an apprentice with Lu Yong.

As soon as Zhang Renkang returned to the factory, he walked towards Li Huaide's office. When he got off work yesterday, Li Huaide revealed that he would conduct a thorough ideological reorganization today. As soon as he entered the office, he saw Li Huaide was on the phone. Zhang Renkang subconsciously signaled that he wanted to go out. Li Huaide didn't show any shyness and pointed to the sofa for Zhang Renkang to sit down.

After Li Huaide finished the call, he looked at Zhang Renkang and said

"Renkang, we formed this ideological committee some time ago, but the work has not been going smoothly. What does this mean? It means that there are a small number of bad elements in our working group who are dissatisfied with the organization and the class and are obstructing our work."

"Renkang, you must find a way to find out these bad elements hiding in our team and defend the purity of our team"

Zhang Renkang nodded. He understood what Li Huaide meant. Although the official strong wind will not start until May next year, the trend has already started in schools since last year. It is normal to expand to industrial construction this year. This is the aftermath of the struggle above, which shows that the economic faction is becoming increasingly disadvantaged.

Li Huaide was thinking of taking advantage of this incident to take over the production department from Yang Weiguo and actually control the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill first. Zhang Renkang nodded and said

"Director, I think it won't work. Let's call for further study of XXX's thoughts, strengthen production safety awareness, and speed up the construction of the motherland."

"Last year, our emergency plan was not well prepared. Was there someone with ulterior motives? How about letting Wang Huairen do some self-criticism and summary? I think he should still be a good comrade of ours, right?"

As soon as Li Huaide heard Zhang Renkang's idea, he immediately understood the feasibility of it. In order to explain the accident last year, Yang Weiguo had to tormented the people in the production department. Besides, it would be much easier to let them split up internally than to find evidence of Yang Weiguo's guilt himself. He said with a smile.

"Renkang, I see you are not a kid anymore, are you interested in joining a team?"

Zhang Renkang said excitedly

“Thanks to the factory director for his trust and the organization for their training. I will definitely work harder.”

Adding an identity at this time will be beneficial to next year's Fengfeng Flying, and the situation has not officially started yet, so my identity of joining the organization can also have some value, at least I won't be liquidated in the future because of joining at that time.

Li Huaide nodded and said

"It just so happens that a general meeting will be held in February. This is a good time for us to recruit new comrades. I will notify the personnel department in a moment to study your progress."

Zhang Renkang nodded and said

"Then I will go meet Comrade Wang Huairen first and learn how to make progress?"

Li Huaide nodded and smiled

"You need to ask for instructions more often and learn more from the old comrades. Go ahead."

After Zhang Renkang left, Li Huaide nodded with satisfaction. Zhang Renkang was a smart and sensible guy. Li Huaide had been observing him for a long time. He was particularly satisfied with the fact that Zhang Renkang rarely hung out with the heads of other departments and was not on the same side as Yang Weiguo. On the one hand, it showed that Zhang Renkang was not ambitious and had no intention of forming cliques. On the other hand, it showed that Zhang Renkang had a clear position and would not play both sides. The most important thing was that he had a good understanding of his own intentions.

Zhang Renkang left Li Huaide's office and walked towards the canteen. The office of the production department was near the canteen. This was where the twelve main workshops were concentrated and was the core of the production department.

On the way, Zhang Renkang was thinking about it. It was from this year that Li Huaide began to gradually erode Yang Weiguo's power, and finally turned Yang Weiguo into a rubber stamp and mascot. That's why Yang Weiguo would be replaced so easily by Li Huaide next year. Except for Sha Zhu and a few others who were still thinking about him, no one else in the factory was too lazy to pay attention to Yang Weiguo.

This has a lot to do with Yang Weiguo's personality. In order to meet the targets from above, Yang Weiguo has made a lot of trouble in various departments. The key is that Yang Weiguo is not a good person. He doesn't even share the soup with the subordinates when he eats meat. This has caused complaints from the leaders. On the one hand, Yang Weiguo is not greedy or greedy, but he is also demanding of his subordinates, which makes everyone angry. If you don't take it, and you don't let me take it, how can I make progress in the future? How can people not hate him for blocking the path of progress for his subordinates?

Zhang Renkang went to the cafeteria first. At that time, there were many slogans hanging high in the cafeteria, a sea of ​​red. Everyone had a small notebook and a small red book in their hands. Some people recited loudly while working.

Zhang Renkang smiled bitterly. He didn't want to do this, but it was better to take the initiative to participate than to be found out later. He just needed to control the people in the cafeteria so that they would not harm other workers. As for other things, Zhang Renkang thought it was better not to meddle in other people's business.

Gao Ying was called in. Now Gao Ying is an official eighth-level chef and has legitimately become one of the team leaders of the kitchen. Zhang Renkang abolished the squad leader system in early January this year and changed it to an independent team for each canteen. Cash bonuses and floating red flags are awarded once a month. The last one to be selected publicly conducts self-criticism. The canteen team leader divides responsibilities and is responsible for all the work of the canteen. He will receive an additional subsidy of ten yuan per month and the canteen will be rotated every month. Other personnel remain unchanged.

Every month, workers select the six most popular chefs and six canteen staff members for recognition. The chefs use their real names to prepare meals every day, so workers can see who prepared each dish today.

As a result, the work efficiency and worker satisfaction of the canteen have been greatly improved. Basically, no worker has given feedback on the quality of the food and the sanitary environment of the canteen. Seeing Zhang Renkang calling him, Gao Ying put down the rag and walked over and said with a smile:

"Director, you called me?"

Zhang Renkang nodded and said

"Have you heard of any problems in the workshops recently?"

Gao Ying touched his head, thought for a moment and said

"I seem to have heard several fitter apprentices in a workshop say yesterday that the masters they are following are no longer willing to teach them the skills, and they are made to do odd jobs like moving parts every day in the workshop, treating them like hired servants. Some of them are lazy and slack off every day, but still get paid every month. It's not fair at all."

Zhang Renkang was interested when he heard this. A workshop? A fitter? Isn't this Yi Zhonghai's workshop?

"Who are they talking about? Does this have a name?"

Gao Ying shook his head and said

"How would I know that? I just heard it when I was patrolling the cafeteria."

Zhang Renkang said

"Do you still know those apprentices?"

Gao Ying nodded and said

"I know him. One of them is from our area. I know his family."

Zhang Renkang said

"Okay, go get someone to come over here. I have something to ask you."

Gao Ying nodded and walked towards a workshop. After a while, he called a thin young man over. Zhang Renkang said with a smile:

"Young man, what's your name?"

The man said nervously

"Zhang, Section Chief Zhang, my name is Zhang Songyang"

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"We are still a family, don't be nervous, I just want to find out something from you."

Zhang Songyang nodded and said

"Chief Zhang, please ask me. I will tell you everything I know."

Zhang Renkang nodded and said

"Do you have a master in the workshop teaching you skills? Is the work tiring? Have you learned anything?"

Zhang Songyang got a little angry when he heard this and said

"Chief Zhang, you don't know that we came to the factory as apprentices last October, but no one has taught me anything until now? Every day I either move parts, clean, or serve water and tea."

"I wanted to ask a question the day before yesterday, but I was scolded and told that I was too ambitious."

Zhang Renkang nodded and said

"That won't do. We come to the factory to contribute to national construction. How can someone hide the technology and not teach it? Isn't this hindering national construction?"

Zhang Songyang said angrily

"Chief Zhang, we admire you the most. You are really good to the apprentices in the cafeteria. Not only do you teach them skills, but you also help them improve and pass the exams. We apprentices all respect you, unlike the old masters in our workshop who are always secretive."

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"I'm not as good as you say. Once you learn the technology, you should teach it to more people. Only when more people know it can we produce more high-quality steel and equipment, and our country's construction can be completed sooner."

Zhang Songyang nodded and said

"Chief Zhang, you are right. It would be great if the masters in our workshop had your awareness."

Zhang Renkang laughed

"Who in your workshop is now teaching apprentices without teaching them skills? This is outrageous. I have to talk to your Director Wang Huairen about this. How can you apprentices learn skills to build the country like this?"

"Our factory set up an Ideological Committee last month to remove some bad elements from our team and give more comrades the opportunity to learn and improve themselves."

"I just want to let the workers criticize and denounce these bad elements who hinder the development of the factory and hinder the learning and progress of new comrades, so that more people will have the opportunity to learn skills."

Zhang Songyang was so moved when he heard that Zhang Renkang wanted to stand up for them that he said with red eyes.

"Chief Zhang, you really have paid too much for us apprentices. Yi Zhonghai and his friends, relying on their high skills, act like the bosses and managers in the workshop. They don't change even when the workshop director says something to them. When we ask for advice, they say we don't have the basics. We can't be too ambitious and need to be down-to-earth as apprentices. Aren't they afraid that what we have learned will affect them and they can abuse their power in the workshop?"

"And this Yi Zhonghai protects Qin Huairu. How can Qin Huairu be a first-class worker when he knows nothing? He is lazy every day and does nothing. His work has to be shared by everyone else."

Zhang Renkang was happy when he heard this, but he asked seriously:

"Is there such a thing? Isn't this digging into the country's development? Isn't this irresponsible to the factory?"

"That's too much, Songyang. Is everything you said true?"

Zhang Songyang excitedly assured

"Chief Zhang, what I said is true. You can find out by asking in the workshop."

Zhang Renkang nodded. It seems that the reason for looking for Wang Huairen this time is very sufficient. And this Yi Zhonghai, you brought him here yourself. Don't blame me for this.

Zhang Renkang asked Zhang Songyang some more specific questions and then let him go. Gao Ying asked

"Section Chief, do you want to report this matter to the factory?"

Zhang Renkang looked at Gao Ying and said slowly

"Gao Ying, if I hadn't been the canteen director, what do you think the canteen would be like now?"

Gao Ying lowered his head and said

"We are all still apprentices, being bullied by Shazhu and his gang, and it is hard for us to learn the skills and pass the exams."

Zhang Renkang nodded and talked nonsense seriously.

"The workshop in Songyang is just like the kitchen a year ago. Gao Ying, we need to give everyone the opportunity to learn new skills. Only in this way can our factory get better and better and technology can be developed. If we stick to our own ways and are limited by our own prejudices, we will fall behind."

"I'm never afraid that your cooking skills will be better than mine one day. If any of you have better cooking skills than me, it means that what I do is right."

(The system sent a stupid comment, who the hell can beat the hacker?)

Gao Ying said with red eyes

"Section Chief, you are so great, so broad-minded and so enlightened."

"We will work hard and will never let down the opportunities you have fought for us."

Zhang Renkang nodded and said mysteriously

"I will go to Wang Huairen from the production department in a moment. This is simply irresponsible to the factory and the country. This kind of evil trend must be criticized."

Zhang Renkang walked towards the production office in the direction of the workshop.

(It is indeed not easy to learn technology. The master's reservations, the obstruction of peers, the social skills, and the ability to understand each other's expressions are all important. Generation after generation, people always want to hide their skills.)
