Chapter 654 Merger
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Zheng Guoyuan came to his senses and quickly stepped forward to persuade everyone.
Although Zheng Guoyuan personally could not accept this result, he did not want his colleagues in the factory to make mistakes because of his own reasons.
After Zheng Guoyuan's repeated persuasion, the excited workers and cadres gradually dispersed. Seeing this, several cadres from the region finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was really scary just now. If so many people really rushed over, they would have been beaten to death. Thinking of this, they couldn't help but wipe away the cold sweat in fear.
"Director Zheng, you are too naive. Didn't you go to the district to report the situation a few days ago? To tell you the truth, on the day you reported the problem, all the information was handed over to Director Shi before leaving get off work..."
Before leaving, an elderly cadre, perhaps because he felt bad, or perhaps because he was grateful to Zheng Guoyuan for considering the overall situation and not letting them get caught up in the ocean of public anger, pulled him aside and whispered this to him.
After saying this, he shook his head and left with a sigh. Zheng Guoyuan, who stayed behind, finally understood why this result happened.
Zheng Guoyuan was suspended from his job, which was actually no different from being dismissed. He no longer had to go to the factory, and he had to write materials at home every day to explain the situation . He then had to go through endless conversations and investigations.
After Zheng Guoyuan was suspended, Xu Guochu became the undisputed leader of Quanlin Factory.
The next day, Xu Guochu convened a factory meeting and announced several decisions.
The first decision was to get the equipment back as soon as possible. The factory should perform maintenance and installation as needed. Production should not be affected by the incomplete equipment assembly line.
The second decision was that Xu Guochu announced the formal establishment of the factory security department. Originally, Quanlin Factory only had a security officer. After all, Quanlin Factory was just a small factory and could not be compared with large factories.
According to Xu Guochu, a factory needs to be formalized. The current Quanlin Factory is no longer a small factory. As the factory grows, many necessary departments must be available. This is the factory's facade and also reflects the factory's capabilities.
It was imperative to set up a security department. With the promotion of Xu Guochu, the security department was established on the same day. However, the head of the security department was not the previous security officer, but a person transferred from other places by Xu Guochu. Needless to say, this person was 100% Xu Guochu's man. In addition to the head of the department, several other people from the society were also stuffed into the security department in the name of temporary workers.
After the Security Department was established, Xu Guochu then took action against the Supply and Marketing Department.
He arranged for another person to be transferred from outside to serve as the deputy section chief of the supply and marketing department. After Xiao Qiang got to know this person, he found that he knew nothing about supply and marketing, and his business ability was almost blank. However, he felt good about himself, and as soon as he arrived at the supply and marketing department, he started to give orders to the supply and marketing staff.
Faced with this situation, Xiao Qiang couldn't help but communicate with Xu Guochu, but Xu Guochu's attitude was very firm. He told Xiao Qiang to maintain good relations with his comrades and that the two of them should cooperate well.
How can a person know how to work from birth? Isn't experience accumulated slowly through work? Did Xiao Qiang understand it when he first entered the factory? Did he know it? It's impossible.
As a section chief, Xiao Qiang should help and care for his comrades. How could he retreat when faced with problems? If this is the case, as the secretary and acting factory director, he should carefully consider whether Xiao Qiang is suitable for the position of supply and marketing section chief.
In terms of production, Xu Guochu was also constantly placing people in. In just half a month, Xu Guochu brought more than a dozen people from outside into the Quanlin Factory, either in the name of transfer or temporary workers, and arranged them in important positions.
In addition, Xu Guochu also used his means against the original employees and cadres of Quanlin Factory. He would give some sweet treats to anyone who was close to him, respected him and was obedient to him. Although Xu Guochu could not fire anyone who did not get along with him, or even opposed his orders and arrangements, he could easily transfer them from their original positions and make things difficult for them.
As a result, everyone in Quanlin Factory was in a panic. Plus, they were all ordinary people. Although they sympathized with and didn't understand Zheng Guoyuan's situation, they still had to live their lives!
Now Xu Guochu is in power, can't we use eggs and stones to fight each other? Xu Guochu is not Zheng Guoyuan, who has the attitude of "those who obey me will prosper, and those who disobey me will perish". What good will it do to offend him?
In this way, the atmosphere of the Quanlin factory changed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The originally prosperous and vibrant enterprise gradually became lifeless.
The factory no longer had the bustling atmosphere it had under the leadership of Zheng Guoyuan. All kinds of bad things started to happen, such as cheating, flattering the leaders, taking advantage of the factory, and just getting by...
A month later, the superiors' investigation into Zheng Guoyuan finally ended.
In the end, it was deemed that Zheng Guoyuan's problem was very serious, but taking into account Zheng Guoyuan's past achievements and his attitude of curing and saving lives for his comrades, Zheng Guoyuan was not held legally responsible.
However, the seriousness of the problem was still there, and it was impossible not to deal with Zheng Guoyuan. Therefore, after discussion by the superiors, the opinion on how to deal with Zheng Guoyuan was to directly dismiss him from his post.
In other words, Zheng Guoyuan's position as factory director was completely gone. From the moment the decision was made, he was just an ordinary employee of Quanlin Factory.
After receiving the result, Zheng Guoyuan did not report back to the factory. He was a proud man. Would he still go back to work under such circumstances? He could imagine how Xu Guochu, the villain, would treat him once he returned to the factory. Would he just throw him into the workshop as a front-line worker? Or would he give him a broom and let him be responsible for the sanitation of the entire factory?
After all, Zheng Guoyuan has been the factory director for so many years, there is no way he would lose face like this.
Zheng Guoyuan stayed at home and didn't go anywhere. He was heartbroken by this incident. In the evening, his wife and children came back, but he didn't go out either. He still locked himself in the bedroom.
But who would have thought that not long after, his wife knocked on the door and said that a colleague came to see Zheng Guoyuan. This time, Zheng Guoyuan forced himself to open the door and came out of the bedroom. At a glance, he saw Liu De and Xiao Qiang who came with two bottles of wine.
"Old Zheng!"
"Why are you here?" Zheng Guoyuan asked with a forced smile.
Seeing Zheng Guoyuan's haggard appearance, Liu De and Xiao Qiang felt uncomfortable.
Zheng Guoyuan used to be full of vigor and vitality, but now he has an untidy beard and even his hair is like a mess. He wears an old man's shirt with holes on his upper body and a pair of big shorts on his lower body. How can he look like before?
"I came to drink with you. What? Are you not welcome?" Xiao Qiang pointed at the two bottles and said for a long time.
"Haha, sure!" Zheng Guoyuan agreed with a smile: "You guys came at the right time. I was just looking for someone to have a drink with."
Zheng Guoyuan's wife, who was standing next to him, felt awkward when she saw her husband's expression. At the same time, she was sincerely grateful to Liu De and Xiao Qiang for coming to visit him at this time.
She quickly said that she would go to the kitchen to make some side dishes and asked them to sit down and drink first.
Zheng Guoyuan waved his hand to indicate that he understood. He took a bottle of wine, looked at it, nodded, and pried open the bottle with chopsticks. He poured three glasses of wine, picked up the glass in front of him and said to Liu De and Xiao Qiang: "Thank you, two old friends. Come on! Let's drink!"
"Dry!"
Liu De and Xiao Qiang raised their glasses at the same time, and the three of them drank it all in one gulp.
He took a sip of wine and ate some peanuts. A moment later, Zheng Guoyuan's lover brought some side dishes to the table.
After putting the dishes away, Zheng Guoyuan's wife said, "Drink slowly," and went back to the house. After she left , Xiao Qiang said with envy, "Sister-in-law is really good." This made Zheng Guoyuan laugh and scold, "How could he not know whether his wife is good or not? If she was not good, they would not have married and lived for so many years!"
"Old Zheng, what are your plans next?" Liu De lit up a cigarette, took a puff, thought for a moment and asked.
"I haven't made any plans yet. I'll just take a few days off first. I was very tired here some time ago. Now that I'm no longer an official, I can recover." Zheng Guoyuan raised his hand and pointed at his head, forcing a smile.
"It's better to take a few days off. There's no need to go back to the factory now. The current factory...ah..." Liu De sighed and shook his head.
Xiao Qiang's face was not good either. He couldn't help but tell Zheng Guoyuan about the current situation in the factory. The current Quanlin Factory is no longer the same Quanlin Factory as before. The entire factory has been messed up by Xu Guochu. If this continues, what will happen to Quanlin Factory?
"Let's not talk about this. I can't do anything about you telling me these things. I'm just an ordinary employee now..." Zheng Guoyuan shook his head helplessly, but there was a flash of anger in his expression at the same time.
"There's something you don't know yet?" Xiao Qiang said to Zheng Guoyuan.
"Haha, what can I know if I stay at home every day?"
Xiao Qiang and Liu De looked at each other, and then said to Zheng Guoyuan: "Xu Guochu called another meeting today. Do you know what the meeting is about? And who will attend the meeting?"
Zheng Guoyuan looked at him with an inquiring look. Xiao Qiang didn't beat around the bush and told Zheng Guoyuan directly that today's meeting was totally unexpected. It was a meeting about the merger of Quanlin Factory and Youmin Factory, and Jiang Youxing from Youmin Factory was also there.
Not only that, this merger was pushed by the superiors, and what's even more outrageous is that according to the superiors' requirements, Youmin Factory merged with Quanlin Factory. That's right! It was not Quanlin Factory merging with Youmin Factory, but Youmin Factory merging with Quanlin Factory.
The superiors believed that Youmin Factory was a state-owned enterprise and Quanlin Factory was a collective enterprise. In terms of the level of the enterprises, it was of course the higher-level enterprise that should merge with the lower-level enterprise. Moreover, this plan had been agreed upon by the heads of the two factories and had entered into substantive operations.
According to the plan, the name of the Quanlin Factory will be cancelled after the merger, and the entire factory will be incorporated into the Youmin Factory. From now on, there will only be the merged Youmin Factory and there will no longer be the Quanlin Factory.
As for the two merged factories, Xinyoumin will be the factory director by Xu Guochu and the secretary by Jiang Youxing. Other deputy factory-level and middle-level positions will be adjusted according to actual conditions.
Xu Guochu made it clear at the meeting that this was not to solicit opinions from everyone, but to announce the decision, asking everyone to cooperate and complete the merger of the two factories as soon as possible.
Listening to Xiao Qiang's story, Zheng Guoyuan was completely stunned. His hand holding the cigarette was shaking slightly, and his face was as gloomy as a volcano before erupting.
