Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Sun Qian did not dare to neglect it. He, Sha Zhu, and two colleagues from the institute each grabbed a corner of the bed sheet, lifted Qin Huairu up and left.

Dabao saluted the female doctor and said, "Thank you, doctor."

The female doctor looked to be about 22 or 23 years old. She was not pretty at first glance, but the more she looked at me, the more attractive she became.

The female doctor waved her hand and said, "You're welcome. My name is Ding Qiunan. I was just transferred here from the machine repair factory."

"Doctor Ding, I'm a little busy right now. I'll come back to thank you another day."

Ding Qiunan nodded. She was a grown-up girl and didn't feel comfortable asking Dabao's name.

Qin Dabao is a straight man. Except for Zuo Mingyue, other women of marriageable age are all the same in his eyes and he looks down on them.

Dabao went out to see Deputy Director Li walking down the corridor, followed by Wang Daquan.

Deputy Director Li's face was gloomy, but he still smiled when he saw Dabao, and stretched out his hand from a distance.

"Dabao, you came to the factory but didn't look for me. What's the matter? Did Uncle Li need you for work? Why don't you just come in?"

Dabao held Deputy Director Li's hand with both hands and shook it: "I really wanted to go to you first, but it just so happened that my niece was about to give birth, and the security chief said that the factory leaders had a rule that no one was allowed to leave the factory.

I'm just wondering. Who made this rule? I can't even leave the factory to give birth, and I can't even go to the hospital. I'm so confused! Aren't our factories already run by the workers?

How could there still be these feudal remnants harming workers? Those who know say this steel mill belongs to the new state, while those who don't treat people like they are not human beings. I thought the factory was still controlled by capitalists.

Deputy Director Li's face turned pale instantly. No one could bear the label of being a feudal remnant who harmed the workers. Whoever wore this label would have to go to jail and eat peanuts.

Deputy Director Li turned around and glared at Wang Daquan. He turned back and smiled at Dabao and said, "Dabao, this is a misunderstanding, an absolute misunderstanding.

The factory's rule is that you are not allowed to leave the factory without a reason during working hours. The security department has misinterpreted this, so don't take it to heart."

Dabao laughed, and this smile made Wang Daquan feel cold down his spine.

"Uncle Li, my niece's fetal position is abnormal. If she is not taken to the hospital, there is a high possibility of two deaths. I don't think this can be resolved by just saying it's a misunderstanding."

Dabao's tone was gentle, but his words were full of sarcasm.

Deputy Director Li sighed inwardly. How did they train this kid? He's not even twenty years old yet, but he's as cunning as a seasoned veteran like him.

"Dabao, I will definitely discuss this matter with Director Yang and Secretary Lang, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

This is a veteran in the officialdom who knows how to avoid the important issues.

Dabao smiled and said nothing.

Deputy Director Li was a little embarrassed. He had hit a snag.

"Dabao, I see so many police officers outside. What's going on?"

Dabao glanced at Wang Daquan, and this glance made Wang Daquan completely cold all over. He now regretted listening to his nephew and firing Wei Tianlai, and also demoting Qin Huairu.

"Uncle Li, do you have a conference room here? How about we go to the conference room and talk about it? But we have to call Director Yang and Secretary Lang together, and they both have to be present."

Deputy Director Li was stunned. Only then did he realize that something was wrong. Dabao was usually very close to him, but today his tone was full of alienation.

"Oh, all right," Deputy Director Li waved his hand over to his secretary: "Wang Qi, take Director Qin to the conference room."

Wang Qi agreed and quickly took Dabao and the others to the conference room on the third floor.

Deputy Director Li had a gloomy face and knocked on Director Yang's office door with Wang Daquan without saying a word.

Director Yang is keeping a low profile now. The last incident really hurt him. He should have been transferred, but he couldn't bear to leave this position. As the director of the steel mill, a deputy department-level cadre, managing tens of thousands of employees, if it weren't for the secretary's pressure, he would have been a local tyrant.

He is now focusing on special steel, which is an aviation material. Once he succeeds, he will immediately make a comeback.

Hearing a knock on the door, Director Yang called out, "Come in!" and saw Deputy Director Li with a gloomy face and Wang Daquan who looked anxious.

Director Yang laughed: "What's wrong, Lao Li? That face is so droopy that it's enough to make fifteen people stare at it for half a month."

Deputy Director Li smiled bitterly and sat down. He whispered a few words to Director Yang. Director Yang's eyes widened and he slammed the desk.

"Wang Daquan, you don't allow female employees to leave the factory to give birth? Are you crazy? Who in the factory stipulated that workers are not allowed to leave the factory? How come I, the factory director, didn't know about this?"

Wang Daquan was dejected and didn't say anything.

The more Director Yang thought about it, the more sweat broke out on his back. He picked up the phone and said, "Secretary Lang, please come to my office. Um, I have something to ask."

The office of the factory director and the secretary were right next to each other. Within two minutes, Secretary Lang came over with a teacup. When he entered the room, he saw the two factory directors and deputy directors sitting there with gloomy faces. Wang Daquan was standing in front of the desk with his head lowered.

Secretary Lang asked curiously: "What's going on? What happened?"

Director Yang asked him to sit down. Now it was a standard three-court trial.

Director Yang said to Secretary Lang: "Secretary, I don't know what's wrong with this Wang Daquan. He actually doesn't allow female workers who are about to give birth to leave the factory. He also said that it is the factory leadership's rule that employees are not allowed to leave the factory.

I asked him who made the rule, but he didn't say anything. "Old Li and I never said anything about this. Old Duan is on a business trip, and Qi Quan is in charge of the special workshop. None of us factory directors or deputy directors mentioned this. Now, you're the only one left. If you didn't say anything, then it means Wang Daquan is crazy and made this rule himself."

Secretary Lang was shocked. He was a retired cadre and knew nothing about technical work, so his superiors sent him to do ideological and political work.

Although he was usually a bit strong, he didn't dare to say anything about not allowing employees to leave the factory. When he thought about it, he couldn't help but slam the table.

"Wang Daquan, what's wrong with you? You reported to me this morning that the temporary workers at the factory gate were unprincipled and always let workers out during working hours. I asked you to deal with it.

When did I say that even female workers are not allowed to leave the factory after giving birth?

Oh my god! This woman has always been in the world of death while giving birth. You don't let her leave the factory? Are you forcing her to give birth in the factory? What if someone dies?

Secretary Lang was so anxious that he was sweating. If someone died, they would all be held responsible.

"Where's the female worker? Why don't you send her to the hospital immediately?"

Deputy Director Li said calmly, "Wait for us to deliver it? The daylily is already cold. The uncle came and delivered it in his own car."

"Oh, that's good." Secretary Lang and Director Yang both breathed a sigh of relief, and they both picked up their teacups.

Deputy Director Li stared at Wang Daquan and said, "Wang Daquan, the secretary just said that he never said that workers were not allowed to leave the factory. How do you explain this?"

Wang Daquan then spoke in a hoarse voice: "I misunderstood. Wei Tianlai, the temporary security guard, always let workers out of the factory without permission. I reported it to the secretary, and the secretary asked me to deal with it. I have already fired Wei Tianlai. It seems that the new security guard who took over is too rigid and didn't understand the rule I said that workers cannot leave the factory without reason."

Deputy Director Li felt Wei Tianlai's name was familiar to him. He thought about it and finally remembered it. He stood up suddenly and shouted, "Wang Daquan, did you fire Wei Tianlai?"
