Quietly Watching Your Performance
Chapter 2708 Quietly Watching Your Performance
We demand justice!
"Give me justice!"
The shouts continued to echo in the conference room, and even when Factory Director Song Fei slammed his fist on the table, they didn't stop.
This only spurred the leaders to become even more enthusiastic.
Liu Huaimin's anger gradually subsided. He then shook his head at the angry Sun Yan and the others beside him and continued to sit in his chair.
One must remain calm in the face of important events.
In the face of this situation, anger will only make things worse.
All he had to do was wait.
However, in his heart, he grew increasingly dissatisfied with Song Fei, the factory director.
It's incredibly derelict of duty for a factory manager to be unable to even control the factory.
On the other side, Song Fei felt his head was about to explode when he realized his words were useless. He wanted nothing more than to go up and slap each of these bastards.
Seeing the indifferent expressions of everyone else in the room, and hearing their shouts, my heart sank.
No one is indifferent to their own interests, especially when faced with the threat of being "downsized." Even those who usually oppose them begin to fall silent, not to mention those who do not.
Song Fei stood aside, his face filled with anger.
Liu Huaimin remained calm and even leisurely took out a cigarette and lit it.
But those who know him well know that Secretary Liu is not a big smoker.
Sun Yan's gaze swept over everyone inside and outside the conference room, searching for the security officer.
Meanwhile, more and more workers gathered outside the meeting room. Many workers in the factory also put down their tools and, encouraged by some people, followed them into the meeting room, fearing they would be laid off and lose their jobs.
The security department, responsible for maintaining factory security, refused to carry out the orders of the security officer of the work group, plunging the entire machine factory into chaos.
The situation outside the meeting room was getting worse, and the atmosphere inside the meeting room became increasingly tense.
As time went on, everyone's gaze inevitably fell on the figure at the very front.
Song Fei remained standing there, his back to Liu Huaimin, feeling the pressure behind him.
Although Tang Qiang and Lan Baoguo were at the back, they kept glancing at Liu Huaimin out of the corner of their eyes.
Seeing the other person smoking one cigarette after another without saying a word made their previously calm hearts start to pound.
Shouldn't Liu Huaimin stand up and say something at this time?
Shouldn't we give everyone a way out, say a few polite words, and let the meeting continue?
Shouldn't we follow public opinion?
Then, give Song Fei, the incompetent factory manager, a severe scolding, then symbolically appease everyone, and finally end this internal audit. Can we all get along well?
Can…
But now the other side is sitting back and letting things develop as they please, which makes them unsure of what the other side is thinking.
Inside the room, the smoke from Liu Huaimin's cigarette made the atmosphere even more oppressive.
We demand justice!
Some people were still shouting, but their voices had lost their previous unity. Most people had shut their mouths and started looking around the room.
Most of the attention was focused on Liu Huaimin.
"us…"
Finally, the leader only managed to shout half of his slogan before realizing that no one was following him anymore. He then stopped abruptly, swallowed hard, and shut his mouth in frustration.
In an instant, the conference room fell into dead silence.
"Director Song, please have a seat!"
Liu Huaimin finally spoke, but his first words were not to reassure the crowd, but to Song Fei.
And he said it so decisively.
It's just like watching a play from the audience; it's very ordinary.
Upon hearing this, Song Fei looked at the crowd in front of him again, as if he wanted to remember them all, before turning around and walking to his seat. He placed his hands on the table, his gaze cold.
Given what happened today, he can imagine the punishment he will face.
He couldn't even stay in his position as factory manager anymore.
It was only then that he understood why Liu Huaimin had spoken to him alone that morning and why he had brought up the issue of excessive personnel.
These people in front of me are definitely organized and premeditated, and their only goal is to streamline the factory's workforce.
The more something is prevented or covered up, the more sinister it is.
It's regrettable that I focused on the small things and lost sight of the bigger picture, leading to this situation.
What worries him even more is the machinery factory. If this incident affects the development of the machinery factory, he would gladly die for it!
Ignoring Song Fei's changing expression, Liu Huaimin turned to Sun Yan beside him again, "Team Leader Sun, take good notes for this meeting!"
Sun Yan nodded and casually closed the document. "Understood!"
He then took out a new notebook and picked up a pen to take notes.
Liu Huaimin chuckled to himself, "This is truly the first time I've encountered something so interesting on this trip."
Sun Yan and the rest of the working group smiled when they heard this.
A relaxed smile, without a trace of worry.
Because in their eyes, this matter is nothing compared to what they have encountered before.
Moreover, they also have a 'powerful' Yang department, who is not one to suffer losses.
The people in the conference room looked at the two of them curiously again, not understanding the meaning behind their words.
However, Tang Qiang and Lan Baoguo knew very well that these meeting minutes recorded the entire meeting process.
To put it simply, it's about recording everything everyone says and does.
Is this meeting minutes important?
That's not necessarily true.
I used to take a lot of notes during meetings.
But to say it's not important, no one can guarantee that.
After all, some things may seem insignificant on the scale, but once they are, they can weigh a ton.
At that moment, Tang Qiang and his companion exchanged a glance, knowing they needed to be careful what they said next!
At this moment, Liu Huaimin looked at the others again and said, “Since the workers have demands and want justice, we, as the leaders of the revolutionary workers, should naturally listen to their voices and understand their demands.”
After speaking, Liu Huaimin looked at the crowd that had surged in and said, "Send a representative to speak out your demands and your voices!"
As they spoke, everyone's eyes fell on the leaders.
The people at the front felt a little uneasy looking at the formation in front of them.
Especially seeing Liu Huaimin's stern expression, he felt even more uncertain.
So, the group looked at each other, and finally their eyes all focused on one person.
Feeling the gazes around him, and the stares of Liu Huaimin and others, the man suppressed his nervousness, took a deep breath, and stepped forward.
"Commander, esteemed leaders, I am Wang Songshan from the Logistics Department, known for his helpfulness!"
Liu Huaimin nodded. "Yes, you're from the logistics department. Are you representing the logistics department?"
Wang Songshan looked around, then nodded. "I'm just representing everyone's sentiments." "Okay!"
Liu Huaimin nodded, then looked at the others, "Are there any other departments?"
"With so many people, surely they're all from logistics?"
"Or is it that only the logistics department staff have requests or opinions?"
The voice was soft, yet it resonated deeply in everyone's hearts.
In an instant, Wang Songshan frowned. "Sir, there are not only people from our logistics department here, but also people from other departments."
“We all heard that a downsizing policy was going to be implemented and that we would be kicked out of the factory. We are all indignant, so we came here to ask for an explanation and seek justice!”
Liu Huaimin nodded, then shook his head. "Comrade Wang Songshan, I agree with you that you can represent the people in the logistics department, because you work in the logistics department and know the situation."
"But I disagree with your statement that you can represent comrades from other departments."
As a great man once said, "Without investigation, one has no right to speak."
"You haven't worked in any other departments, how can you represent us?"
"so…"
Liu Huaimin slowly stood up from his seat, his gaze sweeping over everyone present. "If there are any other departments here, please step forward as well."
"This will also help our working group to understand the specific situation."
Upon hearing Liu Huaimin's words, the people in front of him exchanged glances.
Song Fei, who was standing to the side, also stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.
At this moment, the logistics director sitting in the front row had a solemn expression and looked at Wang Songshan with a puzzled expression.
This guy usually works really hard, why is he standing out like this today?
Only after Liu Huaimin reminded him did Song Fei notice who the people who came in were.
Then he glared fiercely at Tang Qiang and the other man not far away.
Because most of the people who rushed in were from government departments.
Even the logistics department staff, including Wang Songshan who just stood up, are only a minority.
Thinking of this, Song Fei directly called out, "Sun Ji, you're in administration, right? There are so many people here, you speak!"
Sun Jizheng was the group leader in the administrative department and also the person who left a deep impression on Song Fei.
During the week, he either goes to the toilet or finds a place to sneak a smoke. When asked to do some work, he seems to agree readily, but after half a day, he doesn't produce any results.
Of course, under such leadership, many people in the administration department have this bad habit.
Upon hearing Song Fei call out his name, Sun Ji, standing in the crowd, shrank back, his face turning ugly.
He was just following orders to cheer on the cause. With a simpleton like Wang Songshan leading the charge, there was nothing to worry about.
You'll also gain the favor of your former boss, which has many benefits.
But who would have thought that this was different from what the old leader had said?
The working group, which should have been panicked, was surprisingly calm.
Those who should have started a commotion were suppressed and dared not speak.
And to the workers who surged in later, you can watch the spectacle, but at least shout something to help!
As a result, they really did become strangers!
"Factory manager, I'm just a team leader, I can't represent the administrative department!"
Seeing that everyone around him immediately moved away to make room for him, Sun Ji had no choice but to bite the bullet and say something.
Bang
Suddenly, a sound of slamming a table rang out.
Immediately following was an angry voice, "Sun Ji, who gave you permission to cause trouble?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lan Baoguo slamming his fist on the table and standing up, his face full of anger.
Upon seeing Lan Baoguo, many people in the room were immediately struck by his presence. Then, they turned their attention to the silent figure sitting beside him, and many felt at ease.
Sun Ji was also startled, but after seeing who it was, he immediately felt relieved, and his timid expression turned into a righteous one.
"Don't you even know what kind of occasion this is? Is this a place you should be attending?"
Lan Baoguo looked furious at his son's lack of ambition, pointing at Sun Ji and the people behind him, "And you guys, what are you doing here instead of working properly?"
Why are you getting involved?
"What is this matter that requires following procedures and reporting to superiors?"
"Nonsense, all of you are being ridiculous!"
As Lan Baoguo spoke, he glanced at the crowd out of the corner of his eye.
Song Fei remained unchanged, his face showing nothing but anger. Liu Huaimin, sitting at the head of the table, however, remained calm, making it impossible to discern his true thoughts.
"What are you standing there for? Get to work!"
As Lan Baoguo waved, he winked at Sun Ji, who immediately understood, "Director, we know you mean well."
"But we were forced to come here today; we had no other choice."
"Isn't this downsizing just making us lose our jobs?"
"Without a job, everyone, tell me, how are we going to support our families?"
Sun Ji spread his hands and didn't forget to pull the people around him along.
When the people around saw that Lan Baoguo had stood up, they also spoke up in response.
Those outside the meeting room, upon hearing that they were about to lose their jobs, also felt a pang of unease and began to discuss the matter.
"Nonsense, you guys!"
"How can you only think of yourselves and not consider the overall situation of the revolution?"
Lan Baoguo's face flushed red, as if he were very disappointed. "You have disappointed me greatly."
"Director Lan!"
Just as Lan Baoguo was about to continue speaking, Liu Huaimin interrupted him.
He realized that if these people continued their performance, who knew how long it would go on?
Furthermore, Director Song, who is standing next to me, really has no experience.
If I wait for him to make a move, it will probably be too late.
"Comrades have reports to share, and we should naturally listen to their voices. You can't make a mistake."
Liu Huaimin spoke softly, and Lan Baoguo opened his mouth, then laughed repeatedly, "Secretary Liu, I was just too angry."
"These brats don't know what's important."
"It's alright, we're all revolutionary comrades. Asking questions is for the purpose of better building the revolution."
As he spoke, Liu Huaimin took out the last cigarette from the pack, lit it, and then looked directly at Sun Ji, "Comrade, were you worried that you couldn't represent the department? No problem, you can speak for yourself!"
"Don't worry, we won't make exceptions for you. We will take all reasonable demands seriously."
Sun hesitated, instinctively sensing that he had been written down, and even if this matter passed, he wouldn't benefit from it.
They might even be targeted and given the cold shoulder.
Sun Ji had no choice but to step forward and stand next to Wang Songshan.
