Chapter 2715 Change of Attitude
After noon, the gates of the machinery factory, which had been strictly guarded and no one was allowed to leave, suddenly opened, and then a group of bewildered people walked out.
They kept their distance from each other, and though no one spoke, there were sobs.
This scene sent chills down the spines of everyone who witnessed it.
Subsequently, news of what happened at the machinery factory spread rapidly, and the entire city of Liuzhou was in an uproar because of it.
The cold winter is like a pot of hot oil being poured on it, causing it to boil and sizzle continuously.
In the family compound.
A worker sat on the edge of the bed, and the sound of crying came from inside the room.
"We've only had two good days, and now we have to leave. How are we going to live from now on?"
"Honey, say something!"
"Say what you want to say. If you hadn't told me to work for the old factory, would I be in this situation?"
The man slammed the towel he was holding onto the table.
"You, you're blaming me now!"
"I'm a young, unmarried woman following you, and I've endured so much gossip and scorn."
"I gave you a son and took care of your parents, and this is how you treat me?"
The woman started making a scene with her hands on her hips, leaving the man speechless for a moment. He then plopped down in a chair.
After making a fuss for a while, the woman thought about the days to come and started crying again.
"Honey, you, you say, let's go make a scene at the door."
"With so many people, whose family doesn't need to make a living? Everyone, young and old, you know what I mean!"
The woman didn't want to leave this familiar environment, nor did she want the comfortable life she had.
The man's eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth to agree, but when he thought of those 'devils' in the factory, he hesitated.
But the woman was unaware of the man's concerns. She threw the bundle in her arms onto the table and said, "You men are afraid, but we women are not."
"Eldest, second, third, and fourth sons, come with your mother."
"Let's get your dad back to his job."
After saying that, the woman took her children and walked out of the house. As they left, they heard crying and commotion coming from the neighbors on both sides.
The woman narrowed her eyes upon hearing this, then shouted, "Stop crying, all of you! You can't count on these men!"
"Those with children at home, please call them along; those with elderly relatives, please help them!"
"It's up to us this time!"
"Anyone who wants to go to a place where they don't know anyone and can't get enough to eat should stay at home."
"Anyone who wants to live like this should come with me!"
As the woman shouted, a group of people emerged from the surrounding neighborhood. The woman at the head of the group exuded a fierce aura, followed by her entire family, young and old, united in their hatred of the enemy.
"Second sister, we'll listen to you!"
"Auntie, what do you suggest we do?"
The women gathered together, each filled with righteous indignation.
In their eyes, their husbands had sacrificed so much for the factory; even if they hadn't achieved great things, they had certainly worked hard.
Just because…
Just because someone stood up and spoke the truth, they're being "exiled"—who would be willing to accept that?
Besides, having finally become a worker and received government-supplied food, who would be willing to give it up?
Leaving here is impossible, and not becoming a worker is even more impossible.
"Sisters, uncles and aunts, it's no use relying on those useless old men to handle this, so we have to make a scene."
"Not only are we going, but we're also going to invite our relatives to join us in the fun."
"The more people, the better; the bigger the commotion, the better, we..."
As the woman spoke of her plans, those around her nodded in agreement.
But just as everyone was leaving the courtyard and heading towards the machinery factory, before they even reached the main road, seven or eight people appeared at the street intersection ahead.
The people in front stopped immediately when they saw the group.
Because these people are from the neighborhood committee.
They weren't afraid of the factory.
But this is the neighborhood committee office, this...
A local official is more powerful than a county magistrate, and besides, the neighborhood committees have a much stronger grip on ordinary people like them than factories do on factories.
"Lin Ping!"
"What are you doing?"
The leading street office official stood in the middle of the road with his hands behind his back, looking indifferent.
"Officer Wang, we're just...we're going to the factory to discuss something, aren't we?"
The woman in the lead quickly spoke up.
But Wang, the clerk, just sneered, "Lin Ping, stop with your little schemes."
"Since we're here, it means we've received instructions from above!"
"Go back, this road is blocked!"
As Officer Wang spoke softly, several people from the street office behind him simply stood there, while the surging crowd opposite them dared not move an inch.
Some people who had come to join the fun even ran home as soon as they saw the street office staff come out, afraid of being seen by them.
The woman in the lead was about to speak again when she saw Officer Wang take out a small notebook from his chest pocket and casually pull out a pencil. "Let me give you a piece of advice: don't get yourself into trouble!"
"Leave now, and I'll pretend I didn't see anything!"
"Also, don't think you're in the right just because you have more people. You know what despicable things your own family members have done."
"The higher-ups haven't arrested him yet; they've already shown leniency!"
At this point, Officer Wang sneered as he prepared to record the names.
The woman in the front row immediately turned around. Her husband had just left to work; after all, he was a worker.
But if they get arrested and lose their status as workers, their good days will truly be over.
In an instant, the people behind were already carrying their children and running home.
Whether or not there's any commotion is no longer important.
In no time, the road became empty.
Wang put the notebook away and then took a cigarette from the person next to him and smoked it.
"Brother Wang, there look like there are at least seven or eight hundred people here."
Officer Wang nodded, "The entire security department has been cleared out, and even those who usually do odd jobs are gone. How could there be fewer people?"
He smacked his lips twice as he spoke, "I really didn't expect that a machine factory would have so many people just sitting around doing nothing!"
The group nodded to each other after hearing this. Their neighborhood office managed such a large compound with so many residents, yet they only had a handful of formal staff members.
Who would have thought that a factory with several thousand employees would have over a thousand idle workers? It's infuriating.
“This is just what we’ve seen. My uncle is a factory worker, and I’ve heard that there are many people on the roster who can’t be found.”
One of them muttered something under his breath, and Wang and the others immediately became interested. "What does this mean? Is he receiving a salary without working or something?"
"I don't know, but the leaders of the Ninth Department are in charge this time, and they're going to keep investigating."
"This time, they're really serious!"
The group was somewhat disappointed at not getting a definite answer, but they all nodded in agreement at the end.
"That's Beijing, thousands of miles away from here. Three days, three days! Aren't you afraid?"
"This didn't fly in the sky, it came straight from the ground!"
"My goodness, just thinking about it now terrifies me!"
A few people gathered together, smoking and gossiping.
"But once this person arrived, all the problems were solved. Wow, impressive!"
"Nonsense, they've even brought out armored vehicles; it's obvious they're here to solve the problem."
Officer Wang stubbed out his cigarette butt and casually added, "If you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who caused it."
"The methods of these nine leaders are far more sophisticated than those of previous leaders!"
"You'd better say less!"
Upon hearing this, the group immediately looked around and then stopped discussing the topic, continuing to stand guard at the street entrance.
……
Shengjing, Red Star Aircraft Manufacturing Plant.
In the office, factory director Yu Ziming hung up the phone with trembling hands.
As the former director of the Shengjing Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, he naturally had a wide circle of friends.
Furthermore, the parts for aircraft manufacturing are connected to factories all over the country.
Just now, someone has already informed Yu Ziming about the Liuzhou Machinery Factory.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Ziming was still a little dazed, not understanding how things had suddenly turned out this way.
It's just an internal audit, isn't it?
It's just a dispute, isn't it?
Given the headquarters' usual attitude, it shouldn't be this bad.
Yu Ziming tried to calm herself down, recalling the contents of the phone call she had just heard.
Then, a chill ran up the back of my head, and I shivered involuntarily. Shengjing is only a little over a thousand miles away from Beijing.
If you can go south in three days and two nights, you can come to the north too.
Yu Ziming quickly shook his head to shake off the thought.
Their aircraft factory is not a machine factory.
Moreover, following the last adjustment, the new cadres, managers, and even key workers were all carefully selected by headquarters.
So this matter of downsizing has nothing to do with their aircraft factory.
The only thing that needs attention is the internal audit team.
Who would have thought that headquarters would get so angry about the internal audit team?
This isn't a work group, this is practically an emperor emeritus! Who would dare to disrespect them?
It's no big deal if something goes wrong; we can fix it.
But if something really happens to this person, the headquarters' armored vehicles will probably be at the door.
"No, I have to remind them, these men shouldn't have a moment of madness and do something stupid."
Yu Ziming hurriedly got up to leave, but the office door was pushed open.
Then they saw Section Chief Sun from the factory's security department storm in, looking anxious.
"Old Sun, what's wrong with you?"
Yu Ziming's heart skipped a beat, fearing that the other person would say the words he feared most.
"Old Yu, something's happened, something's happened."
As soon as Section Chief Sun spoke, Yu Ziming stumbled and bumped into the table before asking with difficulty, "What...what happened to the work group?"
At that moment, he had already figured out how to explain it to headquarters.
Section Chief Sun was taken aback, then asked, "Huh? What working group?"
Yu Ziming looked up. "Didn't something happen to the work group?"
"When did I say that something happened to the working group?"
The next second, Yu Ziming raised his foot and kicked, but fortunately Section Chief Sun was agile and quickly dodged.
"Old Yu, what's wrong with you?"
"Get lost! What are you yelling about if nothing happened to the work group? You scared the hell out of me."
As he spoke, Yu Ziming turned around, leaned on the table, sat down, picked up the glass on the table, and drank all the cold water inside.
Section Chief Sun then realized the other party had misunderstood, but upon hearing Yu Ziming mention the working group, he immediately reacted, "Old Yu, you also know about the Liuzhou matter?"
Yu Zimo raised his head, "Nonsense!"
Section Chief Sun quickly stepped forward, saying, "I heard about it from the headquarters security department."
"You knew about it too?"
Yu Ziming didn't want to pay attention to him, and simply nodded slightly.
Section Chief Sun was extremely anxious. "Old Yu, we've been working together very well lately."
"But let me tell you something about the internal audit: don't do anything reckless."
Yu Zimo could tell from the other person's expression that he was genuinely frightened, just as he himself was.
Headquarters is acting out of the ordinary this time; who would have thought they'd flip the table like this?
"What else have you heard?"
Yu Ziming asked tentatively.
Section Chief Sun stepped forward and muttered under his breath, "All the security personnel have been transferred out. Those who made mistakes have been dismissed and arrested."
"And those who cause trouble, no matter what the situation is, the whole department is wiped out."
"It's unreasonable, it's completely unreasonable."
"Also, the local authorities cooperated this time, so there wasn't a ripple at all."
The more Section Chief Sun spoke, the more alarmed Yu Ziming became. He knew that the Ninth Department was powerful, but he thought it was powerful in terms of "economy," innovating technology, making a lot of money, and supporting revolutionary construction.
But who would have thought that they not only make money, but also have the power to protect their treasure trove?
"Old Sun, you, you're doing this."
"You will personally lead the team, and all the security personnel must actively cooperate with the working group's requirements."
"I'll also have a meeting later."
"This time, anyone who makes things difficult for the work group, anyone who acts recklessly, I will personally send them down."
Yu Ziming clenched his fist and spoke forcefully.
Section Chief Sun immediately walked out, saying, "Don't worry, if anyone dares to be the bad apple, I'll personally take action."
After Section Chief Sun left, Yu Ziming still felt uneasy and directly called out to his secretary outside, "Xiao Shan, arrange a meeting room for me. All management personnel must attend!"
"Yes!"
Changchun, Jiefang Automobile Factory.
Factory manager Jin Ziqiang is holding a meeting with everyone in the factory.
Those present were all managers from the car factory.
That's how things are at the Liuzhou Machinery Factory.
Jin Ziqiang's mouth was dry from talking, so he picked up his cup, took a sip, and then looked at the solemn-looking crowd below.
The news is truly shocking.
The pressure from the nine departments was immense.
If this happened to them, it probably wouldn't be any better than Liuzhou.
“Our factory has a cooperative relationship with the Ninth Department, especially in the production of diesel engines.”
"The other party will send someone to our factory to verify the situation during this internal audit."
"I will only say one thing: unconditional cooperation."
"Once a problem is identified, it will be resolved."
"But if anyone dares to cause trouble at this time, don't blame me for not giving them face."
Jin Ziqiang's voice was filled with a chilling intensity.
Everyone present was startled, putting their hands in their sleeves and looking very serious.
Jinling, Aviation Academy.
Li Haonan had just returned to the conference room to organize the materials when he heard shouts behind him.
"Professor Li, Professor Li."
Li Haonan turned around and saw Vice Dean Cheng walking over with a big smile on his face.
"Vice Dean Cheng."
Li Haonan responded and picked up the materials to speak when he saw Vice Dean Cheng step forward and pat Li Haonan on the shoulder, "Professor Li, I just called to urge them, and the college has made a decision. We will officially start the operation tomorrow."
"All the materials needed for this design will be used without any error."
"Oh, and about the things we promised you, we'll arrange them as soon as possible."
"Don't worry about food, clothing, housing, and transportation; the college provides them all free of charge."
"And you guys, you've been involved throughout the whole process. If you have any questions, just come to me."
Vice Dean Cheng said warmly, "That's all, you can go ahead and do your thing."
After saying that, he left quickly.
Li Haonan stood there, somewhat bewildered.
Yesterday they were saying this wouldn't work and that wouldn't be good, so now they can't do it and can't start work tomorrow.
He knew that someone was definitely up to no good, and Vice Dean Cheng had no way to explain himself.
But who would have thought that such a big turn of events would happen in just one night?
"Teacher, I might know some of the reasons."
Suddenly, Song Yuzhou came up beside him and said excitedly.
The room contained not only people from the Ninth Division, but also teachers and students from the academy who came to help.
"what reason?"
Li Haonan asked a question subconsciously, and then Song Yuzhou excitedly recounted what happened in Liuzhou.
Of course, he didn't know everything; it was all hearsay, but it still left Li Haonan speechless.
Not to mention the other people in the house.
"This, this, this is too much!"
Li Haonan couldn't think of any words to describe this, and in the end, he could only say "unbelievable".
"teacher!"
Song Yuzhou spoke again, and Li Haonan realized what he meant, then a hint of pride appeared on his face, "Everyone get ready, we're going to the factory tomorrow."
"Let's get started!"
"Yes!"
Seeing the lively scene, Li Haonan walked to his seat and then couldn't help but laugh.
Now, things will be much easier.
