Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

At 3 pm, when Zhang Renkang was holding a meeting with the heads of the six canteens, Wang Huairen also called in 20 workshop directors and a dozen clerks from the production department to hold a meeting in the conference room. There were many people in their department-level units, and a single office could not accommodate so many people, so the meeting could only be held in the conference room.

Wang Huairen looked at the workshop director of the production workshop with a serious face and criticized him bluntly.

“Can’t you see the problem in the workshop?”

"The workshop is now filled with sectarianism and capitalist revisionism. Why don't you take it seriously?"

“Who is shielding these saboteurs and hindering our great construction mission?”

Wang Huairen angrily slammed the table and shouted

"Guo Bohua, stand up and tell me what's going on in your workshop?"

(Guo Bohua, nicknamed Guo Dapiezi, workshop director of workshop 1, level 6 fitter)

Guo Bohua stood up tremblingly, lowered his head and whispered

"Director, I, I"

Wang Huairen said fiercely

"In your workshop, a few old technicians took the lead in forming cliques, blocking technology, excluding and enslaving apprentices, and shielding their own people from being lazy. These things all exist, right?"

Guo Bohua naturally knew what Wang Huairen was talking about. Their workshop, led by Yi Zhonghai, an eighth-level fitter, two other eighth-level fitters, six seventh-level fitters and their apprentices, excluded other apprentices and agreed to teach only one apprentice for two years. They united to block the possibility of other apprentices learning skills, so that no one in the workshop could threaten their status.

Guo Bohua didn't have any better solutions. Sometimes he had to coax these uncles. Otherwise, if they gave up, how could he complete the tasks in his workshop?

Guo Bohua's hesitation made Wang Huairen even angrier. He actually didn't know about the dirty things in the workshop. After all, Wang Huairen was transferred from the clerk of the Ministry of Industry to be the head of the production department. He had the ability, but he didn't understand some of the social etiquette of the front line.

Wang Huairen said expressionlessly

"When you go back, you must rectify this strictly. No, I will do it myself tomorrow morning and you will be in charge. If you can't rectify it within a week, you will be fired."

Guo Bohua quickly nodded and agreed. He was afraid when he saw the furious Wang Huairen, but he always felt that Wang Huairen was probably just making a lot of noise but doing little. After all, these unspoken rules in the workshop were tacitly accepted by the technicians. How could they be changed just because of you, Wang Huairen?

Wang Huairen continued to arrange

"Starting tomorrow, all workshops must strengthen this ideological construction work. According to the instructions of the superiors and the research and decision of the Ideological Committee, each workshop will set up an ideological study group to strengthen the study of XXX ideology. The workshops must hang big-character posters and banners."

……

In one breath, Wang Huairen borrowed some of the decisions made in the canteen and implemented them in the workshop. No one had any objections to these. After all, people nowadays have gone through the old society and still know who is their banner and direction.

When Wang Huairen went to each workshop to arrange the apprentice responsibility system, the twenty workshop directors were furious. They had just worked a little harder, but if this thing was fully implemented, it would be a real storm. How could those old technicians agree to this?

Director Sun from Workshop 4 said cautiously

"Director, isn't this a bit too harsh? If those old technicians don't work and start a strike, it will be difficult to guarantee our factory's production target this month."

Wang Huairen had already talked to Li Huaide this morning. Li Huaide was no fool and had already prepared a plan for Zhang Renkang's plan. Li Huaide told Wang Huairen that it was okay if the task was delayed this month. He had already communicated with the higher-ups and naturally there would be leaders who would speak for them. In addition, the study group and apprentice responsibility system set up by the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill made many leaders feel that there was great potential.

On the one hand, the ideological faction believed that this would strengthen the ideological work of the front-line masses, while the economic faction believed that if the apprenticeship responsibility system could be implemented, it would greatly promote the speed and scale of training industrial technicians. They all agreed that the steel mill should be used as a pilot, and the production task of the steel mill could be relaxed.

Yang Weiguo originally wanted to take out four workshops for a pilot project, but he asked Li Huaide to report to the Ministry of Industry. The Ministry was very interested and ordered Li Huaide to lead the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill to fully implement the two plans. Wang Huairen, who had a plan in mind, was not worried at all. He stood up and said

"Anyone who dares to cause trouble is undermining national construction and is a bad element in our team. We must resolutely crack down on and criticize them, and we can even report them to the public security organs for investigation. Once anyone is found sucking the blood of apprentices, they will be put to death in public immediately."

"Comrades, anyone who dares to obstruct us is a technical landlord in the ranks of the workers and is exploiting our comrades. We must resolutely criticize and struggle against them and thoroughly overthrow the capitalist-revisionist line in technology. Marxism is the common wealth of all, not that of any one person. Anyone who wants to monopolize it is a saboteur."

"I now declare that Yi Zhonghai, Wang Huaming and eight others, who have relied on their achievements to gain respect, have attempted to exploit and exclude their fellow workers by relying on their technological advantages. Their thoughts are extremely improper and they have leftist tendencies. They have seriously hindered the progress of talent training in the workshop and endangered national construction. Their nature is extremely bad. After the decision of the leadership and the ideological committee, the whole factory will be notified and a criticism meeting will be held tomorrow. In addition, several people will be expelled from the production workshop and sent to the cleaning team for labor reform."

After that, Wang Huairen said

"Each workshop should go back and thoroughly clean up the technical landlords in our team, resolutely defeat exploitation at the technical level, and resolutely defeat all those who attempt to abuse their power by relying on their technical ability. Of course, our consistent purpose is to punish past mistakes and prevent future ones, cure the disease and save people. If someone wakes up in time and is willing to teach our workers carefully, we still welcome him to reform. You should give these people a chance to reform after criticizing them. We will naturally deal with those stubborn bad elements."

After the meeting of the Production Department, more than 20 people felt very heavy in their hearts. They had already understood the situation. From this moment on, the factory would change. Judging from Wang Huairen's attitude, this reform was imperative. The factory could no longer tolerate old technical workers like Yi Zhonghai who wanted to abuse their power by relying on their technology.

When they returned to the workshop, the entire Red Star Steel Rolling Mill was in an uproar. Many people were dissatisfied with Yi Zhonghai and other old technicians. After all, the main force of this factory was still the third and fourth level technical workers. For many years, Yi Zhonghai and his people relied on their technical advantages to order them around and were reserved when imparting their experience. They had long been dissatisfied. If they were not afraid of offending Yi Zhonghai and others and being excluded in the workshop, someone would have reported them long ago.

Yi Zhonghai, Wang Huaming and a dozen other eighth-level technicians in various positions were feeling uneasy, not understanding what the factory was going to do to them. Wang Huaming shouted arrogantly:

"Everyone, the factory is trying to squeeze the blood out of us. We only rely on this little bit of technical ability. We have learned this by pleasing our masters and working hard for decades. Why should we give them all our skills?"

"Young people nowadays just can't stand hardship. They don't have much ability, but they learn quickly by complaining. We won't teach them. And if anyone complains to the leader, I'll kick them out of the workshop."

Wang Huaming stood on the machine and shouted

"That brat went to the factory to complain. A man should stand up and show me what you are capable of. Instead of following the master attentively, you have rebelled against the teachings and betrayed the master."

Zhang Songyang couldn't help but feel arrogant when he heard Wang Huaming being so arrogant. Just now, when Guo Dapie came back and told him about the decision from above, he knew that Zhang Renkang really stood up for them. He believed that since Zhang Renkang had fought for them, and since the workshop director had also announced the apprentice responsibility system in the workshop, the factory would not sit idly by and watch Wang Huaming and Yi Zhonghai and others do nothing.

Zhang Songyang also stood on the machine and shouted

"Wang Huaming, you are so arrogant, what did grandpa say?"

"You guys are always bullying the crap out of the people in the workshop, just like some wealthy landlords. You refused to teach us something and even prevented others from teaching us. You told us that we were new to the industry and needed to be patient and not aim too high."

"Aren't you just ordering us around like chores? I'm telling you, you're screwed. The leaders above know that you're the bosses in the workshop. Now we're going to overthrow you technical landlords and let the working people stand up."

Then someone shouted

"Dear workers and apprentices, are you willing to let these people oppress us every day?"

Instantly, Zhang Songyang's words struck a chord with more than a thousand workers and apprentices at all levels in the workshop. They were fed up with Yi Zhonghai, Wang Huaming and others who kept their secrets to themselves and acted arrogantly.
