"Then why did you call us there? Could it be that we need to chip in to pay the wages?" Director Wang said, unable to tell what it was like.

He felt ashamed and disgusted that Factory Manager Li had absconded with the money, and he felt sympathy and distressed for the workers who did not get their wages, but what could he do.

Zhang Ze shook his head and said slowly, "Probably not."

Director Wang looked at him, "What is that?"

To appease the workers, what other way is there other than returning the wages owed to him?This is the most direct and practical.

Seeing that one of them had a heavy complexion, and the other had half-drooped eyelids, they didn't know what they were thinking, Director Liu picked up the cup funny and took a long sip and said: "What's the use of you two thinking so much now, wait until the day of the meeting." If not, I will know."

Anyway, he didn't worry about anything. If the government asked him to pay, he said he had no money.Anyway, everyone knows that his factory is not doing well this year. It is already very good that he can support a thousand employees in this factory.

Zhang Ze felt that what Director Liu said was also reasonable, and he couldn't think of anything here, so it's better to wait until that day.Soldiers come to block, water comes and soil floods.

After inquiring about the situation, Zhang Ze talked with Director Liu about increasing production.The first batch of goods was sent to the military region as early as half a month ago. Just two weeks later, Minister Zhang sent a telegram to himself saying that next time he would send him more chili sauce, which was really not enough.

At the beginning, Minister Zhang placed two bottles in the area where the seasonings were placed in the cafeteria. I don't know if everyone didn't notice it or what, but few people ate it.It may also be that there are not many people who like spicy food there, so northerners like them always scoop up a large spoonful of it every time they eat.Later, due to the vigorous propaganda of Ma Tuan Zhang, people in the military area became obsessed with chili sauce noodles, and it became popular among them for a time, and the noodles in the cafeteria were not enough.

Now there are five bottles of hot sauce alone in that place, and there is still a queue at this meal time.So many bottles were finished in a few days.Then Minister Zhang hurriedly sent a message to Zhang Ze, asking him to make more and send it over, and asked him if he could make something that was not too spicy.Those boys in the main military area can't eat chili and have to eat it hard.The mouths that ate were all on fire, one after the other was swollen.

The hot sauce was on display in the restaurant, and he had to let everyone eat it, so he had to ask Zhang Ze to make some slightly spicy ones.

Zhang Ze didn't expect his chili to be so popular, so he urgently held a meeting at the factory to adjust the spiciness of the chili and mushroom sauce, divided into slightly spicy and heavy spicy.Two more sauces were added, one is black bean sauce and the other is spicy beef sauce.

The main taste of these two sauces is fragrant, but spicy is ranked at the back, which is more suitable for those who can't eat chili.

Zhang Ze quickly sent a telegram to inform Minister Zhang of the news. He originally planned to mail a few bottles for them to try in the next shipment, and see if they like it before deciding whether to order.

Unexpectedly, Minister Zhang didn't even taste it after receiving the telegram, so he directly placed an order and asked Zhang Ze to send him dozens of bottles.

Another order came out all of a sudden, and Zhang Ze's factory was a little overwhelmed.This is only to supply the military region, and it will not work if it is put on the shelves in the future.So I hurried over to inform Director Liu and let him share the burden for me.

Director Liu is naturally happy, the more orders he makes, the more money he makes.Now he doesn't mind helping Zhang Zechangzi at all, after all, who would have trouble with money.Speaking of which, if he hadn't accepted his order, his factory might become the same as a match factory at some point.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the meeting. Director Wang didn't sleep well the night before because of his nervousness, so he drove a car to the gate of Zhang Ze's house early in the morning and wanted to go with him.After all, only when he is with Zhang Ze can he be more at ease.

Seeing that it was still early, Zhang Ze invited Director Wang to have a light meal together.Factory Manager Wang waved his hand and said no, he was so tormented by this meeting that he didn't have much appetite for the past few days, and he didn't sleep well last night, so he really couldn't eat.

"Did you eat in the morning?" Zhang Ze asked.

Factory Manager Wang shook his head and sighed, "No."

"Then you have to eat some, you don't have to eat dinner, but you can't save this breakfast." The old lady hurriedly interjected when she heard it.After speaking, he turned and went to the kitchen, took a hot steamed bun with some black bean sauce, salt and vegetable sauce, and scooped up a bowl of millet porridge for Director Wang.

"Eat more." The old lady advised.

Factory Manager Wang smiled embarrassedly, and reluctantly accepted the old man's kindness.The freshly cooked millet porridge is fragrant with oil and sesame oil, and the big steamed buns are steaming hot, which looks very appetizing.

He grabbed the steamed bun and brought it to his mouth to take a bite, his eyes lit up instantly.

Fermented fermented soybeans have the effect of increasing appetite, and the addition of salty salt vegetables makes people appetite even more.He instantly forgot the heavy heart he felt when he came here, and he ate up a mouthful of steamed buns and rice porridge in a short while.

When he got out of the car and handed Zhang Ze a clean bowl that could be seen in a mirror, he still felt embarrassed. He clearly said he had no appetite, but ended up eating so cleanly.

Zhang Ze didn't show anything, after all, who can resist the temptation of delicious food.In his opinion, there is nothing in the world that can't be solved with a delicious meal, or two meals if it doesn't work.

He took the bowl and threw it by the sink, and said to Director Wang, "Let's go now?"

Director Wang nodded, and the nervousness and worry just now returned instantly because of Zhang Ze's words.He rubbed his hands and got into the car, sitting in the driver's seat, his hands holding the steering wheel began to sweat profusely.

On the way to the People's Building with anxiety, Director Wang found an open space and parked the car. When he got off the car, he started to walk anxiously, which was very funny.The two walked in side by side, but they were stopped at the door.

"Hello, what are you doing?" The man in a green military uniform blocked the two mercilessly from the door with a blank expression on his face.

Zhang Ze hurriedly took out his invitation letter and handed it to him. The man nodded at him friendly after reading it, and handed it back.Factory Manager Wang also handed over his own in a hurry. After checking, the man searched the two of them again before letting them in.

Zhang Ze found the conference room according to the location on the invitation letter, and the conference room was very simple.There is a large rectangular table inside, which can seat more than 20 people.Everyone's location has been arranged, and a piece of red paper is pasted on each seat, with the name of the factory and the names of the participants on it.

Zhang Ze found his seat and took a seat. Coincidentally, Director Wang was beside him, and the two happened to be next to each other.Seeing that Zhang Ze was right next to him, Director Wang heaved a sigh of relief, and his heart hanging in mid-air also relaxed a little.

In this way, if there is something in the middle of the meeting, I can discuss it with him.

It wasn't too late for the two of them, but the meeting room was almost full.Everyone sat in their seats, chatting with the people on the left and right in a flustered expression, all wanting to inquire more or less about the content of the meeting.

After a while, Director Liu walked in slowly with his little secretary, saw them both nodded briefly and went to his place.Compared with the seats of Zhang Ze and Wang, the seat of Factory Manager Liu is relatively forward, in the middle of the conference table.Zhang Ze took a closer look and found that as long as the factories in the provincial capital were in front, the "small workshops" like him and Director Wang would come to an end.

But Factory Manager Wang thought it was a good idea, even if he sat in the back and stared blankly for a while, no one would notice.

Zhang Ze was talking to Director Wang when suddenly a middle-aged man in a Chinese tunic came in, followed by a young man with thin-rimmed glasses, holding a notepad in his hand.From the moment he stepped through the door, the meeting room fell silent.I saw the man walking straight towards the chief seat, and finally sat down firmly.

The young man did not sit down in a hurry, but scanned the people in the meeting room.Then he said something in the ear of the middle-aged man, and then sat down and spread out the notebook.

After a while, another person came in, closed the door and left. At this moment, the middle-aged man stood up and said to the big guy with a smile.

"First of all, I would like to thank everyone for coming to this meeting. All of you here are the heads of famous factories in our Zhai'an Province. Let me introduce myself first. I am the governor of our Zhai'an Province. My surname is Gao."

When the man said this, there was an uproar in the audience, and there was a low-pitched chatter, followed by deafening applause.Governor Gao smiled, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and continued.

"The purpose of my inviting everyone here is very simple. Everyone should know about the match factory recently. Li Guoan absconded with money, and we are still arresting him." Governor Gao sighed a little weakly when he said this, and then Said: "But we can afford to wait, thousands of workers outside can't afford to wait. They are three months in arrears of wages, and they have all to eat and drink for their family."

Governor Gao made a sincere speech above, and Director Wang leaned over and whispered in Zhang Ze's ear.

"Is he asking us to donate later?"

Zhang Ze shook his head lightly and said that he didn't know, even if they donated money to make up the wages of those workers, what would they do afterwards?How do you make a living?There are two thousand more unemployed people all of a sudden. Are there still so many jobs in the provincial capital?

Governor Gao talked on and on for 15 minutes before he opened his mouth to reveal the real purpose of inviting them here.

"I would like to ask all the factory directors, I hope you will help and assist our government to accept these workers and give them a job to earn a living."

Governor Gao's words were like thunder on the ground, blowing up the conference room.Everyone looked left and right and talked a lot.Many people, like Factory Director Wang, thought that they could get rid of the matter by donating a little money, but they didn't expect that Governor Gao actually wanted them to recruit those workers into the factory.

In the past, this was not a difficult task.But now all the factories are mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, and they can't protect themselves. It's good if they don't lay off workers, so how dare they recruit workers again.

For a while, the entire conference room fell silent, no one spoke, and no one wanted to take on this thankless job.

Governor Gao waited for a long time, but no one came out to say anything. He sighed, and the shadow between his brows deepened.
