Chapter 154: It's Hard for One's Own People to Become One's Own People
The irritable and depressing November passed quietly, and the dreaded December arrived as expected.
The last month of the year is always the busiest time of the year for Ai Guoxiang Company.
Every department seems to be at war, with crackling and rushing around. Even the leaders are no exception. Various production safety meetings are piled up together. You can see that General Manager Xie and General Manager Chu are either in a meeting or on the way to a meeting every day.
Being a leader is not easy. Holding meetings is really tiring. Others may not know, but Chu Yang hates meetings the most. His ears are getting calluses from listening to the leader's slogans. I wonder when this company will be able to reduce so many unnecessary meetings.
But without this meeting, the leader would not seem like a leader anymore.
This morning.
Before Chu Yang and Lan Bingqing set out for the substation, Director Yang came over and called a short meeting with everyone.
It's another meeting, I'll have your mother's meeting.
It wasn't just opened yesterday.
"Everyone, be quiet, I'll say a few words."
Two more sentences. If you say one more, I will strangle you to death.
"It's almost the end of the year again. You should all check the provincial system and see the projects you are responsible for. If you have completed them, please click "complete". For unfinished tasks, please complete them as much as you can. Don't drag them out. Some projects cannot be completed. For example, the regional remote control project that you are responsible for, Fatty, has not yet started bidding. It is definitely not going to be completed this year. However, you have to click "close the loop" first and let the finance department settle the bill first."
Director Yang said slowly, let’s arrange all these things.
There is nothing wrong with this.
The project volume is settled once a year. This year's money should be spent this year. The company's money cannot be carried over from the new year. If it is carried over from the new year, it is no longer the company's money, because the provincial company will think that your company does not need to spend so much money, and will not allocate so much funds to you next year.
This is outrageous, but this is the policy.
Therefore, whether you are doing this project or not, you must complete the work in a closed loop. There is nothing wrong with this. This is how everyone makes money anyway.
After Director Yang said this, everyone started clicking on their computers, but he added, "Also, our department still has a little money left, don't waste it, otherwise there will be no funding next year. I plan to give everyone some cool drinks, biscuits, and eight-treasure porridge as a reward. After all, everyone works very hard on site every day. Do you have any objections?"
Work is the job of the soldiers below, but spending money is the job of the leader. As the leader of a department, one must learn to spend money. It makes sense that if a leader does not know how to spend money, he cannot be in a leadership position.
"This again. Director Yang, can you get something more practical? It would be nice if everyone could get a few clothes and a few pairs of shoes." Xu Feng, taking advantage of his favor, made a small suggestion.
"These don't comply with our regulations. Our department doesn't need them, so they can't be reimbursed." Director Yang directly denied it, and then continued: "Okay, here is a detailed list. Everyone come and sign your names. It will be sent to you after it arrives."
After Director Yang finished his instructions, he put down a list and left. Damn, isn't this dictatorship? He even asked for everyone's opinions. The list is already ready, so what's the point of discussing it? This is fucked.
The fat man took it in his hand first, glanced at it, raised his eyelashes, and then frowned, but he didn't say anything. He directly signed his name and handed it to the expert Wu Liu.
The expert took a look at it, snorted, and finally signed it impatiently, then passed it to the next one.
Chu Yang saw that everyone seemed to be signing reluctantly. What was going on? Why not just send the stuff out?
Why do they all look so sad?
Finally, Lan Bingqing in front sighed, signed and handed it to Chu Yang.
Chu Yang couldn't wait to take it and take a closer look.
It was a very simple and clear list. The vertical row was the name of each person in the department, and the horizontal row was the list of items. There were a total of 10 items. The first one was Yinlu Eight Treasure Porridge, one box per person/600, and a box contained 24 bottles.
Chu Yang wasn’t bad at math, but he still took out his calculator to do some calculations.
But the result is still 25.
This is fucking shocking.
That means each bottle of Yinlu Eight Treasure Porridge costs 25 yuan.
How should I describe this price? Not to mention shocking, but it is also a bit scary. Chu Yang didn't dare to comment on this brand of eight-treasure porridge because he didn't finish it, but he dared to sell it at this price. He believed that it must be delicious and nutritious, otherwise how could it be sold at such a sky-high price?
Chu Yang calmed down and continued to look at the second line. Each person gets a box of Jiaduobao, which is very good. Director Yang is very much in my heart. Chu Yang doesn't like to drink anything else, not even Wanglaoji, but Jiaduobao. He was very happy when he saw it.
I looked at the price again, it's still 600 yuan per box, and there are 24 cans in a box. If the computer calculated correctly, each can of Jiaduobao is still 25 yuan.
This time, Chu Yang was no longer calm.
That's too much.
I drink Jiaduobao every day and treat it like tea. Even when I was on the top of Mount Huangshan, others were selling it for 15 yuan. Why the hell is this selling for 25 yuan a can?
The following few things refreshed Chu Yang's three perspectives.
A bottle of coconut juice costs 20 yuan, and a serving of Guiling Gao costs 18 yuan...
This is not a question of premium, this is simply raising the price.
No wonder these people all sneered at it.
Director Yang, your behavior is really ugly. Judging from everyone's reactions, everyone knows that Director Yang is taking kickbacks. Yes, anyone can tell that this price is abnormal and outrageous.
This was clearly the price agreed upon between Director Yang and the merchant.
But what else could they do? Apart from cursing Director Yang in their hearts, they dared not say a word and could only sign obediently.
That's the reality.
There are some things that you clearly know, but there is nothing you can do about it, this is class oppression. If you have opinions and want to express them, I'm sorry, you may not even have this last copy.
Yes, now if you sign obediently and accept all this silently, at least you can still get what is on the list.
So here is a list in front of you.
Will you sign it?
And everyone has signed, why don’t you sign?
…
After signing, Chu Yang and Lan Bingqing drove to the substation.
In the car, Chu Yang asked Lan Bingqing: "Today's list...what do you think of it?"
"What do you mean?" Lan Bingqing looked at Chu Yang.
"You all have no objections?" Chu Yang asked.
"I have some objections, so what?" Lan Bingqing felt that Chu Yang was very boring.
"Has he always been so ugly when eating?" Chu Yang didn't say his name.
Lan Bingqing said with a fake smile: "Why do you think I hate him so much?"
"Did no one resist?"
"Yes, of course. Before you came, there was a man named Zhou Huamao . He asked why the price was so high and refused to sign. He was demoted two months later." Lan Bingqing stated calmly.
"Okay, it's alright."
Chu Yang curled his lips, feeling that life was difficult.
The two arrived at the construction site as usual, but found that everyone was sitting aside and not working. Chu Yang went over to ask Zhou Qiang, the person in charge of the site: "What's going on?"
Engineer Zhou said helplessly, "The Safety Supervision Department came to inspect us early in the morning and caught us off guard. They said our construction site was in a mess and did not meet the conditions for safe operation. They issued us a ticket and asked us to stop work for three days to rectify the situation. They did not allow us to start work again."
Have people from the Safety Supervision Department come to investigate?
It seems that their year-end performance is not enough, so they came here.
Chu Yang has worked in the safety supervision department for so long and is very familiar with their business.
"What kind of violation were you caught with? Didn't I tell you that you must make safety preparations before you can start work?"
Chu Yang asked seriously. He came from the Safety Supervision Department, and he usually had very strict requirements on safety. He would never let anyone take risks during work. If he was found to have any serious safety violations, he would not say a word.
I also have to thank the senior officials of the Safety Supervision Department.
"No, Engineer Chu, we haven't even started working yet, but they came to check the qualifications of our construction workers. I invited all the villagers back today to work on the hill, and didn't let them in. But they asked for electrical qualifications. They don't have any electrical qualifications. They don't want to work on electricity, they just want to do some hard labor, but Engineer Huang said that they violated some regulations..."
Chu Yang knew about this. Since the construction party was short of workers, they needed to temporarily invite some villagers to come and help with the hard labor, at a rate of 100 yuan a day. This would give the villagers some extra money and also speed up the progress.
The village chief thanked Chu Yang.
Of course, Chu Yang had also told them that the villagers could only do the work of carrying soil, and they had to obey orders and move along the designated routes and not go anywhere else. Unexpectedly, they were caught by the safety inspectors today.
This is a violation, yes.
Because the company has safety regulations, personnel who have not passed the safety assessment cannot enter the company's substation for construction. However, this is a new substation and has not yet been put into operation. Does this regulation apply to it?
Moreover, because of this problem, work will be suspended for three days for rectification. Isn't the punishment a bit too severe? The construction schedule of this project is already tight, and this is the consensus of the company. Delaying for three days will definitely delay the construction schedule.
"Mr. Zhou, did you give any bribes to others?" Chu Yang said. If you don't give any red envelopes, others will kill you.
"I gave it to him, but he won't take it."
"Who from the Safety Supervision Department came to inspect?" Chu Yang frowned. He couldn't think of who else would come to inspect the Safety Supervision Department except Sister Yun. If it was Sister Yun, he could come forward to communicate with her. After all, the two of them were close friends and had some friendship.
“His name is Huang something, I don’t even know his name.” Mr. Zhou replied.
The person with the surname Huang in the Safety Supervision Department is Huang Tianxiang. He is the only idiot.
This person is my mortal enemy and is not easy to deal with.
This is such a fucking pain in the ass.
Chu Yang knew that this guy was deliberately giving him a difficult problem.
What should I do?
