Chapter 60: The Fate of Electricians
Chu Yang came to the hospital and went straight to Wang Guiping's ward. Standing at the door of the ward, he saw a woman taking care of Wang Guiping.
This woman had a rough appearance and a haggard face. She was obviously a rural woman. Her eye sockets were red and sunken. At the moment, she was mumbling something and shaking her head. Judging from her tone, she should be Wang Guiping's wife.
"Tell me what you are thinking. What will happen to me and your daughter if you die?"
"You are courting death."
Wang Guiping was still like a wooden man, saying nothing and looking dejected .
The woman couldn't control her grief. She hit him lightly and screamed weakly, "You want me to remarry? Who should I marry? Who would want me? I told you that your appearance doesn't matter. It will get better after a while. How could you commit suicide?"
Wang Guiping still didn't speak, his lips were tightly pursed, and his body was very stiff, but tears were already welling up in his eyes, and it was obvious that he was in pain. If life wasn't so cruel, why would he want to die?
When Chu Yang saw this scene, he felt inexplicably sad and heartbroken. He had to admit that judging from the outline, if Wang Guiping hadn't had half of his face burned, he would still be a very handsome man. It would take some time for him to get used to his current state.
The guidance of this person's family was the most helpful.
Chu Yang was not in a hurry. He waited until the woman had completely lost her strength and collapsed beside the bed before knocking on the door. Then he walked in and stated his purpose in a very serious manner: "Sister-in-law, I am Chu Yang from the company's security department. President Xie asked me to come and talk to Engineer Wang."
The woman wiped away her tears, looked at Wang Guiping again, lowered her head and walked out.
Wang Guiping glanced at Chu Yang and then looked towards the door, but when he saw that Chu Yang was the only one there and neither General Manager Xie nor Director Pang were there, he turned inside without saying a word.
Chu Yang immediately saw what Wang Guiping was thinking. He thought Chu Yang was just a small soldier and useless. He immediately said, "Mr. Wang, Mr. Xie said that he was afraid that it would disturb your rest, so he did not bother to come to see you. He asked me to come and talk to you. You can tell me what you want. Mr. Xie hopes that you will stop making trouble, take good care of yourself, and come back to work soon."
Wang Guiping's expression was a little moved when he heard it. He finally turned his head and said with a grin, "Mr. Xie asked you to come?"
Chu Yang sensed Wang Guiping's mood change and immediately replied, "Yes, Mr. Wang, you and I are both workers in the company. We are electricians, and no one knows when something will happen to us, so I absolutely hope that you can get the biggest and best compensation, so that if something happens to me in the future, I can also get the greatest protection. So please believe me, I will not fool you, nor will I ask for too much, but I really want to help you and try my best to meet your requirements."
Yes, in this kind of negotiation, the protagonist is very vulnerable. You must put yourself in the right position, empathize with him, share the same fate and breathe the same air, and try to pull yourself into the same camp with him. Only in this way can you really get into his heart, convince him, and move him.
This was the experience Chu Yang gained from a civil dispute in his previous life, and this was also the reason why Chu Yang dared to agree to let Mr. Xie handle this matter.
Chu Yang's attitude made Wang Guiping let down his guard a little. He took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Your name is Chu Yang, right? If you put yourself in my shoes, you will understand my difficulties. I have worked for the company for nearly 20 years, and now I have such a miserable ending. It's not too much for me to ask the company for some compensation, right? Besides, my wife is a farmer and doesn't make much money all year round. I have three hungry children and two sick elderly people. How can I live without more money?"
Very good, Wang Guiping is willing to talk and express his concerns. This is a good sign.
Chu Yang was not in a hurry. He put on an attitude of sharing the same hatred with the enemy and attacked the company with him: "Mr. Wang, I understand your thoughts and agree with your desire for more compensation. One hundred thousand yuan is really too little. Our company is really stingy. It's really fucking stupid. Your handsome face can't be bought with any amount of money."
This is just like picking up girls. When a girl complains to you about someone, don't try to reason with her first, just curse with her first.
"Yeah, you think I'm right, right? Well, it's not easy for me. I work so hard, I have elderly parents and young children to take care of. Sometimes I really think it's better to die. How can I have the dignity to live with this face?" For some reason, Wang Guiping began to choke up.
Chu Yang knew it was almost time to get to the point. “Mr. Wang, I know your difficulties, but the incident has already happened and cannot be reversed. Fortunately, you have managed to save your life. I believe you must have heard of many people who died from electric shocks like yours. So you have survived a disaster and it is a gift from God. You also said that you have elderly parents and young children to take care of, and a whole family to take care of. What will happen to them if you die?”
Chu Yang paused for a moment, letting him reflect on his words.
Then he continued, "You still have to live your life normally. To be honest, although I haven't been in the company for a long time, judging from this incident, the company has treated you very well. The company has covered all your medical expenses, and also compensated you according to the company's disability compensation, the highest amount of 100,000 yuan. They also promised to transfer you to a vacant position in the department. The leader didn't say that he would ignore you. He visited you at the hospital and home many times. You should be able to feel these sincerity.
You're asking for a million all of a sudden. To be honest, I was shocked. This is a bit of a price hike. You know it's impossible. Maybe you don't want so much. Before I came, Mr. Xie said he was really sad and said you disappointed him. If you really continue to make trouble, and really make Mr. Chu or Mr. Xie angry, you may not be able to get the 100,000 yuan. In addition, the position transfer promised to you in the early stage will also be lost. If you are fired directly at that time, you will really have no tears to cry. I am not exaggerating."
When Wang Guiping heard Chu Yang say this, his expression became very solemn, and a bit ferocious appeared from time to time. It was obvious that Chu Yang had spoken to his heart. He was not a fool, and he understood the seriousness of the matter.
The leaders are the most indifferent group of people, they can turn hostile at any time. It was his brother-in-law who kept instigating him, saying that crying and making trouble will get milk. At this time, he must blackmail the company and cannot compromise.
He dared to do this.
Chu Yang saw that he was a little shaken, and continued to persuade him with emotion and reason: "Mr. Wang, I also came from the countryside. I know your life is not easy. I promised my leader to come and talk to you because I really want to help you. If you want money, I can go back and talk to Mr. Xie. Maybe I can increase it a little bit. But in fact, for you now, a stable job is the most important thing, so that you will have security in the future. If you have other requirements, I can go back and talk to Mr. Xie, and I will definitely let him satisfy you."
Wang Guiping finally gave in: "Forget it, Chu Yang, I'll listen to you. I don't want more money, just 100,000. But I have a request, which is that my eldest son will graduate next year. His major is not very good, so it may be difficult for him to find a job. I want my son to join our company. Is this okay?"
Chu Yang answered without thinking: "This should be no problem. Our company gives priority to taking care of employees with family members. Old employees like you who have dedicated their youth to the company should be taken care of even more. I will go back and talk to Mr. Xie about it."
Isn't it a family-based company? What's the problem with that?
Damn it, Chu Yang felt a little indignant for some reason.
Wang Guiping seemed to have really figured it out, and struggled to sit up: "Okay, but I want President Chu or President Xie to personally promise me, preferably in black and white. It's not that I don't trust the company, you know, I just want a guarantee."
Chu Yang nodded: "I understand. I will go back and report your request to the leader and will definitely give you a perfect answer."
Coming out of the hospital.
Chu Yang felt that the moon was very cold, and it felt icy when it shone on his body.
I don’t know whether I did a good thing or a bad thing.
But if you think about it carefully, you will find this matter very funny and ridiculous. Wang Guiping is an electrician and his face is ruined, but he still wants his son to work in the power company.
This is the fate of electricians.
