Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

Throughout the process, the factory manager explained the specific tasks of the project and the relevant website construction to him.

All the questions raised by Yang Jianguo were answered accurately.

From this point of view alone, the other party's business ability is impeccable, and they are meticulous and serious in their work, without the slightest carelessness.

His eyes were clear, and he spoke of his work with great joy. Yang Jianguo did not believe that such a person would engage in favoritism or corruption.

Unless, of course, he personally focuses all his energy on technology.

"Who is in charge of administrative work in our factory?"

Faced with the factory manager's questioning gaze, Yang Jianguo smiled and explained, "You seem to know a lot about data and technology, so you must be focusing all your energy on that."

I'm afraid I'm too incapable of handling the administrative work as well; I guess I'll have to delegate those tasks to my subordinates.

Chapter 707 Dialogue: We Can't Always Bully Honest People

As Yang Jianguo had expected, the deputy factory director was in charge of all the factory's administrative work.

As for him personally!

My job mainly involves reviewing reports and signing documents; I'm primarily responsible for the technical aspects.

"As the main leader, you should still take the time to pay attention to this administrative work... Are there any employees in the factory facing difficulties?"

Upon hearing Yang Jianguo ask this question, the factory director turned his gaze to the balding middle-aged man standing to the side.

"Big leader, my name is Han Shouxin, the deputy factory director who is mainly in charge of administrative work in our factory."

"Trustworthy, honest and trustworthy... It seems your parents have high expectations for you!"

"Yes, my father was also a veteran. He taught me from a young age that one must always keep one's promises, which is why he gave me this name."

"In that case, we shouldn't let the old man down, right?"

"Yes, I have always remembered my father's teachings and have never dared to forget them."

"Hmm~" Yang Jianguo nodded, then suddenly realized, "By the way, no one has answered the question from earlier. Are there any employees in the factory facing difficulties?"

Han Shouxin thought for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, which factory doesn't have a few employees in difficult circumstances?"

"Hmm, that's a fairly honest answer... Ah!" Yang Jianguo looked at the crowd around him and laughed heartily.

Seeing that he didn't seem angry, Han Shouxin smiled and said, "I'll definitely behave myself in front of you."

"Then let's continue. What are the difficulties? Let's take a look while we're at it."

Han Shouxin's expression instantly crumbled.

The top leader wants to go and see what?

No matter what I watch, I feel like something bad is going to happen, but can he stop me from watching it?

"Go and call Lao Yu and the others over. Tell them that the big leader wants to ask about their situation and that they should hurry up."

Han Shouxin still wanted to use a little trick to try and get away with it.

But the next second, the factory manager spoke up: "I remember, the one in the most difficult situation in our factory should be Xiao Wan, Wan Liang, call him over too."

Upon hearing the factory manager's words, the director, who was about to go and call someone, looked distressed.

This person is so unfortunate!

"What's wrong? Are you having trouble?" Yang Jianguo asked with a warm smile, his hands behind his back.

His eyes, though not angry, held an imposing authority, as if they carried a thousand-pound weight, making it hard for one to breathe.

"No, I'll send someone right away." The director didn't care what the deputy factory director should do and turned to run outside.

Rather than let this poor Taoist die, it's better to send my fellow Taoist on his way.

Before long, a few people were called over.

The three elderly people and one young man were wearing work clothes that had been starched until they were faded, and the back collars were frayed.

Yang Jianguo casually found a wooden bar, sat cross-legged on it, and invited everyone to sit down as well.

"Let me introduce myself. Don't be nervous. Just treat me like an ordinary worker, and let's chat casually."

That being said, who can really treat him as an ordinary employee?

But what needs to be said, even if it's not explicitly stated, still needs to be said.

We finally got this opportunity, and if we don't say it now, we'll never have the chance again.

After exchanging a few pleasantries and discussing work and factory benefits, everyone seemed quite satisfied.

In particular, the reforms implemented by Yang Jianguo in recent years are now beginning to show results.

The factory is profitable, everyone is happy with their wages, and they are comfortable working there.

Those lazy people who used to eat from the same pot and just wanted to fill a position without contributing anything were also laid off in the union's referendum.

Both personal benefits and the work environment are many times better than before.

It's tough, but look at the fate of those workers who are forced to go bankrupt and restructure.

Looking back at my life, it couldn't be better.

When you compare yourself to others, you realize everything.

Now that the good stuff is over, it's time for the bad stuff.

"Is there anything you're not satisfied with, anything you think there's room for improvement, anything that needs to be changed? Everyone is welcome to speak freely, don't just say the good things!"

Yang Jianguo started the conversation, and Lao Yu, who was clearly in charge among them, then had something to say.

"Minister Yang, it's nothing else, it's just..."

Seeing that he seemed hesitant to speak, Yang Jianguo laughed heartily: "Just say what you have to say. Today's occasion is for everyone to speak freely."

"Then I'll tell you," Old Yu asked.

"Speak up, speak freely, say whatever comes to mind."

"Minister Yang, I think the allocation of this house is very unfair."

The implementation of employee housing has not been a recent development; an effective and feasible method has already been established.

Currently, enterprises and institutions across the country are implementing this policy.

The Ministry of Industry invested billions of yuan just in land subsidies to local governments.

It is precisely to ensure the housing problem of employees, so that everyone has a job and a place to live.

For the time being, the implementation measures have had a positive effect.

The situation that Lao Yu reported today is not due to any problem with the policy.

Rather, it is the subordinates who, when carrying out the tasks, have certain subjective and personal biases, resulting in uneven distribution.

"The document says that outstanding employees should be allocated to veteran employees and those who have made outstanding contributions. Xiao Wan's father is a veteran worker in our factory."

"He's worked in our factory his whole life. You can ask around about the contributions he's made. Although none of them were major achievements, he's still a diligent and outstanding worker."

"When the accident happened a couple of years ago, the factory gave Xiao Wan the compensation it was due and arranged a job for him. Nobody complained about that."

But regarding housing allocation... someone had promised to prioritize the Wan family, but after the house was built, they reneged on that promise.

Why did Lao Yu stand up for Lao Wan's family? Because he simply couldn't stand by and watch.

Old Wan hasn't done anything particularly groundbreaking, but many people in this factory were trained by him.

Which apprentice didn't learn a thing or two from him? He was honest and sincere in his dealings with people and conscientious in his work.

From any perspective, it's impeccable.

His family situation is even more complicated.

Of the seven siblings, only Lao Wan was successful.

She has to support her parents, help her siblings, and raise three children.

They truly shouldered immense burdens, taking one step at a time!

Just when life wasn't so tough anymore and we saw hope of getting a separate apartment, he passed away.

The money the factory compensated them was barely enough to support their two elderly parents, and their spouse fell seriously ill because of it.

Unfortunately, at this very moment, half of the house collapsed.

They paid someone to rebuild it, hoping that when the new house arrived, they could move in, as the environment would be better and it would be more convenient for recuperation.

But when it came time to allocate the new houses, no one honored the original promises.

"When Lao Wan passed away, did someone promise him that he would be among the first to receive the houses...?"

Everyone knows what his family's situation is like now. How can you be so heartless as to pretend you didn't see it? You can't be so shameless.

Old Yu became more and more agitated as he spoke, his face flushed red and spittle flying everywhere, almost ready to name names and start cursing.

The smile on Yang Jianguo's face gradually faded.

Chapter 708 Difficulties, Fortunately, the Best Common People

"Old Yu, is that guy you mentioned who's denying it here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Yu turned his gaze to the deputy factory director, Comrade Han Shouxin.

Yang Jianguo's gaze followed his eyes and landed on the other person.

“Minister Yang, things are not as he says. There are some things he is completely unaware of.”

Han Shouxin protested that he was innocent, and that the matter was really not his fault.

The company is building housing and needs to distribute the benefits to everyone.

But there are more than just one or two senior employees and those with high achievements in the factory...

What kind of factory are they?

It's a large state-owned factory; the main factory alone employs over 8,000 people.

With so many people, what is the initial phase of the project?

The project involves fewer than 400 households and will be completed in three phases. There is no word yet on when the subsequent phases will be finished.

Shouldn't there be a first-come, first-served order? Shouldn't the selection process be conducted carefully?

Yes, Lao Wan's family has a special situation and they have a hard life, he admitted.

But there are many others who have endured hardships just like him, or even more so.

Besides, we can't just take care of those who are struggling and ignore everyone else, can we?

Do those who have contributed to the factory count? Do the newly recruited highly educated talents count?

How to retain these people and how to live up to the expectations of those who have made contributions are all factors that need to be considered.

"It's not that I don't want to admit it, it's just that I really can't admit it!" Han Shouxin said, his eyes reddening.

Everyone is complaining about this, doesn't he know that?

I know, I know it very well.

His own wife and children constantly point at him in sarcastic and sarcastic remarks because of these things.

It's as if he's some corrupt official who's taken a huge bribe.

In reality, Han Shouxin did not receive a single penny of benefit.

He simply couldn't handle the workload, so he had no choice but to take the blame upon himself.

Would anyone else be willing to take the blame?

"Minister Yang, the list is in my office. Now that we've talked it out, you can go see it now."

Han Shouxin looked at Lao Yu and said, "Lao Yu, you should take your fellow workers to see who should make room for Xiao Wan."

"As long as you, Lao Yu, can persuade the other party, I will sign immediately without saying a word."

Old Yu was so thoroughly humiliated by him that he finally understood why Han Shouxin's name wasn't on the previously announced list.

Seeing the men's heads bowed and silence, Yang Jianguo knew that what he said was true.
