The leader is my girlfriend

Chapter 349: Military Factory Staff Meeting Officially Held

Watching Cheng Yanzi running around in the crowd, sometimes directing the alignment of tables and chairs, sometimes instructing someone over there to adjust the sound equipment, arranging this and that, Chu Yueqi and the other members of the research institute were confused. Given their institute's position within the military factory, was it really necessary for them to personally handle all these unnecessary tasks? Or was Cheng Yanzi looking to transfer to another position?

What's even more amazing is that the staff of the Propaganda Department, Maintenance Department, Materials Department... all actually follow her instructions. Isn't the status of the institute a bit too high?

Cheng Yanzi smiled faintly. "Of course, a job transfer isn't going to happen. I'm just returning to my original job..." "Today is an important day for a general meeting!" As the chief secretary, how could she not make sure the venue was properly arranged? With the deputy director officially in attendance, Secretary Cheng was finally officially taking up her post.

Looking at the reformed and refreshed Chu Yueqi, Cheng Yanzi walked up and patted him on the shoulder, "Mr. Chu, you have to be mentally prepared for what's to come."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yueqi couldn't help but be stunned. He frowned and asked, "What preparations should I make? It's just a general meeting, and I don't have to speak." He has been baptized by all kinds of storms. The person he likes is married and has children. Is there anything crazier than this?

Cheng Yanzi smiled and nodded, "Okay, then you must remember to remain calm even when faced with a catastrophe."

"of course."

The answer is revealed...

Is there anything more crazy? Answer: Yes, that is - after Lu Wanwan appeared and sat in the center of the conference leadership group, looking at the eye-catching sign in front of her: Deputy Factory Director Lu Wanwan...

Chu Yueqi was completely shocked, his mind blank. The colleague he had been working with for over four months was actually his boss? Not Engineer Lu, but Deputy Director Lu!

In fact, he was not completely clueless. When he first heard that a senior executive was parachuted in, he knew that the new deputy director would directly replace the old director, and that their research funding might be reduced.

Now... people really need to be more realistic. His previous ideas were too unrealistic.

A new official's first move is to start a new factory, and while this one is belated, it's understandable that the new factory director is demanding reforms. However, what's surprising is that the primary target of these reforms isn't the ordinary workers, but the management.

This invisible movement touched the interests of many people. They thought you were here to grab a piece of the pie, but unexpectedly, you were here to overturn the table. What can everyone do? But what else can they do? Are you openly rebelling against the decision of your superiors? Deputy Director Lu came here with a red-headed document.

As a leader, don’t you understand the operation of professional skills?

As a leader, don’t you have a sense of the overall situation and the ability to coordinate?

As a leader, do you lack foresight and long-term planning?

As a leader, don’t you know your subordinates’ work expertise and family situation?

As a leader... not tall enough to make up for the weight?

Cost reduction and efficiency improvement efforts at other factories often leave management unscathed, while the lower-level workers grumble and complain. But this time, the situation was completely different! The military factory's cost reduction and efficiency improvement efforts were a painful and agonizing experience for management, while the workers were jubilant and excited. Even the factory's temporary workers saw significant improvements in all aspects of their wages.

So, everyone started to whisper to each other in private. The situation changed and finally the focus turned to this group of people who were talking without any worries. However, some people were skeptical and thought that the new factory director was just bluffing to scare people.

For a time, various statements and speculations emerged one after another, but there was no need to say anything certain, because there would be a result soon anyway.

Logically speaking, Lu Wanwan shouldn't be so drastic and reckless in pushing forward such a large-scale and radical reform. In fact, it would be somewhat damaging. At least for her future career development, it would most likely arouse suspicion and fear from others.

However, according to the timeline given by Wang Yiming, in a few years, we will usher in a major transition from a planned economy to reform and opening up. If the military factories cannot successfully and smoothly achieve transformation and upgrading before that, then there will be a real big problem.

Therefore, after weighing the two options, Lu Wanwan knew that she had to act decisively and cut the Gordian knot to ensure that the military factory could survive the impact of this wave of the times and would not be forced to switch from military to civilian use.

Military factories have always faced many difficulties, but the biggest and most difficult problem to solve and avoid is the reselling of military products. Lu Wanwan is ready to investigate this matter thoroughly. She starts with the actual number of experimental resources required by the institute and digs deeper bit by bit.

Following this thread, logistics, warehouses, finance, procurement, and even transportation were involved. How happy they were to receive the money then, how much more heartbroken they are now. The security department at the military factory was completely engrossed in the search. Almost every house they entered had over ten thousand yuan in cash, bundled up in boxes, crates, under floors, in walls, and even dug out from pits in the backyard...

When a person has a problem, he can be easily replaced, but when a group of people have a problem, they will cover up for each other and gradually form an intricate network of relationships.

Therefore, the problem seems to have occurred within the military factory, but in fact it is far more than that. As the subsequent in-depth investigation unfolds, it is shocking that even the leadership of the Central Ministry of Finance and the army are involved in this turmoil. From the whereabouts of financial appropriations, to the configuration and allocation of materials, to the output process of materials, etc., in almost every line, more than half of the actual resources have been secretly intercepted and stolen.

It can be said that Lu Wanwan's action not only touched the vital interests of many people, but also directly caused many people to be thrown into jail. In such a difficult and dangerous situation, the Lu family and the Liu family accompanied her in making such a bold decision, which was also a disguised desperate move. The team that Zhu Hongwei secretly brought in has blocked more than 5 root-out operations from the other side.

The darkness before dawn always seems particularly deep and oppressive. When everyone is playing it safe, being cautious, and trying to keep a low profile, Lu Wanwan bursts out like a dark horse. If they lose, the Lu and Liu families will be wiped out in the capital. If they win, no one will be able to shake the Lu and Liu families' position in the capital.

Although the winner has not yet been announced and everyone is waiting to see, according to the final process, it is obvious that Lu Wanwan is the winner, and she will squeeze into the youngest leadership in the future.

Did the old factory manager, Yang Shu, really do anything wrong? Actually, no. An in-depth investigation revealed that Yang Shu himself might not have been directly involved in any of the misconduct.

But everyone has weaknesses. His weakness was that when he was devoted to public service, he neglected to discipline and control his family, so that his son, daughter-in-law, daughter, and son-in-law participated in these things on his behalf. So, can it be explained clearly? It seems not.

As a core leader of a military-industrial enterprise, Yang Shu shouldered enormous responsibilities and missions. Even if there had been no cover-up, his poor judgment and inadequate management of personnel would have disqualified him from continuing in his position.

He originally thought that when faced with such a complicated situation, Lu Wanwan would have some consideration and weighing, and might choose to clear out some of the staff in the factory to streamline the organization, improve efficiency, and then slowly settle down and seek development.

But he never expected that Lu Wanwan's move would completely turn the entire military factory upside down! She didn't want to make appropriate changes and gradual adjustments, she wanted to quickly implement and build a brand new military factory that could be completely under her control.

A few months later, the situation finally became clear and all the changes were settled. Yang Shu did not retire early, but remained in his original position. However, he knew very well that this was not because his superiors chose to let him go, but because they needed him to stay in this position and wait for Lu Wanwan to make new political achievements that could be made public, and then complete a smooth and successful transfer of power.

Once upon a time, Yang Shu had always hoped that his children could make achievements in their own right, but now, except for his son and son-in-law who have just gone to school, the whole family depends on his salary and future pension for their lives. Whenever he thinks of this, Yang Shu can't help but feel mixed emotions.

Could he say Lu Wanwan was wrong? He couldn't. In fact, he should have acted decisively when he first faced the decision, but he hesitated and softened his heart. In the end, with his indulgence, things escalated and reached a point where he could no longer handle the situation.

If there is still hope, it is that his grandchildren can work hard to get into college and then start over with their own abilities. Of course, it is probably impossible for them to reach such a height again.
