The conspiracy of the courtyard

"Whose is the other report letter?"

Lu Zixuan pouted and replied to He Yuzhu.

"Of course it's a letter from Zhao's father accusing Zhao San'er of stealing his job."

Chen Ping asked with concern:

"Since Lao Zhao was frightened by the letter of denunciation from the commune and stopped making trouble, then Zhao San'er can keep his job, right?"

Lu Zixuan sneered and shook his head, then slowly explained the reason:

"It's not that simple. Do you think that if an ordinary person can find out something, those people in charge of investigation in the factory can't find out? They just have other intentions."

The "Eagle Eyes" investigation showed that Zhao Saner's name first came into the factory leaders' field of vision when he was recommended to work in the confidentiality workshop due to his diligent and taciturn work attitude, during the political review by the military representative.

What really attracted the factory leaders' attention to him was that Yi Zhonghai heard Zhao's father's lies. He gave up his original strategy of bribery to keep the secret and instead helped the angry Zhao's father to write and submit the letter of complaint about the job usurpation.

Out of caution, the factory leaders openly discussed the contents of the report at a high-level meeting. After research and decision by the majority of cadres, the report was handed over to the Personnel Department and the Security Department for joint verification.

Later, people with ulterior motives deliberately publicized it, causing many people to covet this position.

There are speculators who want to profit from it; there are also people who plan to enter the confidential workshop on their behalf; the core members of the faction who are eager to expand their power are also looking for opportunities to insert people; ordinary workers who are hoping to get lucky are also ready to move...

Regardless of their motives, they all have a common goal, which is to look forward to the dismissal notice from the factory.

Lu Zixuan stared at He Yuzhu and reminded:

"Recently, there have been frequent personnel transfers in the factory. Please pay more attention to those who have been transferred to the canteen or replaced within the past two years, and try to prevent them from coming into contact with the food and water sources in the confidential workshop, just in case."

……

After seeing off the He family, Lu Zixuan quickly browsed through the information he had collected recently, and then fell into deep thought.

It was originally thought that as long as a close eye was kept on new employees and replacements, those separatist elements hiding in the dark and attempting to disrupt production would soon be caught. The credit could then be attributed to the well-performed partners, who would be helped to advance in their positions in the factory, thereby expanding information channels.

However, it is counterproductive.

Perhaps it was because the investigation was too short, and after a week of full effort, there was no progress. Instead, many loopholes in factory management were discovered, and those with quick minds have already seized on these flaws and developed a number of incompetent industrial chains.

For example, the workshop neglected to measure the scrapped parts and only recorded the scrap quantity but not the weight.

First, there are certain workshop workers who are responsible for processing scrap parts to the best of their ability within the prescribed upper limit;

Secondly, the apprentices who were responsible for collecting and transporting the waste were responsible for violently dismantling it, separating the qualified waste to be handed over to the public and the steel scraps to be kept privately;

Then, the warehouse keeper is responsible for storing qualified scrap by piece and hiding the privately kept steel scraps in the coal slag storage area;

Finally, the slag cleaners are responsible for transporting the slag mixed with steel waste out of the factory in an open and honest manner.

The executors of each link can share the profits after the waste is sold. The specific proportion of the spoils, the leading personnel, etc. have not yet been discovered...

For example, there is a serious phenomenon of nepotism among factory cadres, which leads to uneven allocation of resources and inconsistent promotion assessment standards.

Workers who "unite" around cadres can not only receive careful instruction from skilled masters, but also lower assessment standards to demonstrate the factory's respect and appreciation for senior technicians;

Those who lack connections or are content to live in poverty can only rely on the shallow texts taught in literacy classes to comprehend obscure theoretical knowledge on their own. They are also forced to raise the assessment standards in the name of urging progress...

There are also a large number of management defects, such as the problem of passive job transfers due to malicious exclusion, and being forced to transfer jobs due to unwillingness to cooperate with certain middle-level cadres.

Such operations are everywhere. Those who are good at networking will seize the opportunity and be assimilated willingly; while those who are self-disciplined or cautious will choose to turn a blind eye and stay away from right and wrong.

There are also people with strong beliefs in justice who take risks to expose the inside story to workshop or department managers, but their reports generally fall on deaf ears.

As for reporting the situation to senior officials without going through the proper channels, it is pure nonsense. The charges of disrupting production order and disobeying management are tailor-made for him. The punishment may be public criticism or dismissal from his job, or even affecting the political review and life of his entire family.

On one side is a stable life after letting go of obsession, and on the other side is a dangerous life of stubbornness. The choice is obvious. Moreover, the very few people who "do not know the current situation" have already been eliminated...

Thinking of this, Lu Zixuan became furious and immediately wrote several letters of complaint, intending to submit them to various regulatory departments to "plead for the people."

When I wrote the last letter, I came back to my senses and thought about the follow-up issues. If we tear off the cloak of harmony and follow the previous punishment practices, those who will suffer the most in the end will only be the lowest-level people who have no money, no power, and no connections.

Lu Zixuan stopped writing and began to think about a more reliable method. In his previous life, he had heard sporadic stories that in the early days of the planned economy, some factories had a period of chaos. He once thought that it was the malicious vilification of some people. But when he was in the middle of it, he realized that what everyone said was a conservative opinion.

Thinking of this, Lu Zixuan did not dare to slack off. He quickly put on his backpack, stepped into the dark and gloomy night, and rushed all the way to Lao Chen's house...

After listening to Lu Zixuan's worried words, Lao Chen closed his eyes and thought for a long time before he chuckled with satisfaction:

“Well, that’s good, there is progress, at least we know how to look at the problem from both the political and people’s livelihood perspectives, but it’s not deep enough.

Let’s first talk about this so-called confidential military mission. Do you think it can still be called confidential now?

What does it mean when we look at the period of factional division and chaotic management? "

Lu Zixuan thought about it and asked uncertainly:

“Could it be Lou Bancheng?”

Old Chen said firmly, shaking his head in rejection:

“No, it has nothing to do with him!

You often read newspapers, so you should know that at the beginning of this year, the new leaders proposed the rural economic development policy of "free market, self-financing, private plots and household contract responsibility system".

It is probably some radical cadres who over-interpreted the policy and thought that industry and commerce would also use this policy.

Coupled with Lou Bancheng's complete withdrawal, the lack of professional management experience and supervision from non-party members has led to the current situation.

Well... as long as there are no directional errors, the problem is not a big deal. After all, everyone has just started to get involved in industrial management, so it is inevitable that they are a little unfamiliar and there will be some mistakes. They are all talents who have been screened through layers of organization, and I believe they will adjust quickly. "

Lu Zixuan was not interested in politics. What impressed him most was that in April 59, the great man retired to the second line and devoted himself to studying the international political situation. He knew very little about the policy of "three selfs and one package".

However, Lao Chen's attitude of turning a blind eye to the unfair treatment of the grassroots workers made Lu Zixuan feel extremely uncomfortable, and he immediately argued with him with a red face:

"You mean it's normal for cadres to let grassroots workers take responsibility for their trial and error? Then what's the point of talking about cadres serving the people?

I think you have been a cadre for too long and have forgotten the sufferings of the people at the bottom of society!"

Old Chen's anger was instantly ignited, and he slammed the table and shouted excitedly:

"Hey grandson, who are you with? I'm going to beat you up, you little bastard! You know nothing!

Do you think that replacing a group of cadres can manage the factory well and completely eliminate these malpractices?

Cadres are also human beings. They are selfish, lazy, greedy, vain, jealous, cowardly and have all the bad qualities that humans should have.

The reason why they are appointed as cadres is because they have one most important quality, which is loyalty!

Be loyal to the Party, loyal to the country, and loyal to the people!

If you don't have guns, you can make them; if you lack food, you can grow it; if you lack experience, you can accumulate it; if you don't have enough culture, you can learn it.

But loyalty is a belief engraved in our bones. Only after going through countless trials of blood and fire can one remain unswerving in his commitment!

The most important task at the moment is to maintain stability, do you understand?"
