Rebirth 1994: Starting from laid-off workers

Zhang Jiaqiang smiled and said in a tone that could not be refused.

"I've arranged your work for you. It's your old job to drive a big car. From now on, you should go on business trips for a long time, so as not to stay at home and cause trouble!"

"Ah, how tiring it is to be on a business trip for a long time. Jia Qiang, you are now capable of arranging some light work for me!"

Zhang Jiaqiang feels that this matter is not over yet. Brother Bao definitely doesn't want to suffer a loss. He may pull out the carrot and bring out the mud, so it is better to be careful.

Arranging for Ye Xiucheng to go on a long-term business trip can also be regarded as a kind of protection for him.

In addition, the father-in-law and mother-in-law are too close, so we have to find a way to move them away.

When Zhang Jiaqiang returned home, it was already midnight.

Zhou Xiaomeng had already fallen asleep, and Ye Xiumei was so sleepy that her eyelids were twitching. However, she was worried that her husband hadn't come back, so she still sat on the sofa in the living room and struggled to support herself.

When she was dazed, she heard the sound of the key turning in the keyhole. She sat up suddenly and saw her husband pushing the door open.

Ye Xiumei immediately lost all sleep, and ran over like a cheerful deer, hugging the slightly sweaty neck tightly.

She said coquettishly, "What time does it take to come back!"

Zhang Jiaqiang was afraid that she would worry about his family, so he didn't dare to tell the truth. He made up a lie and said he was installing machinery in the factory, and then he got away with it.

Smelling the sweat on his body, Ye Xiumei said a little distressedly, "I just came back from a business trip and I'm not home. I see you are so tired and covered in sweat. Go and wash up!"

"Wash, of course you have to wash well!" Zhang Jiaqiang reached out and picked her up by the waist, and strode towards the bathroom.

Ye Xiumei seemed to realize what he was going to do, her face turned red with embarrassment, and she started struggling desperately.

"I hate it, why don't you wash it yourself? Let me go!"

"If you wash together, you can rub each other's backs. Rub the top, the bottom, and the outside."

Pieces of clothes were thrown out of the bathroom and landed on the floor of the living room.

After a while, a series of gasps came from the crack in the door, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low and gentle, a little farewell is better than a wedding!
Time flew by quickly, and the third day came in the blink of an eye.

In the morning, Zhang Jiaqiang tidied up and went to the workshop early, waiting for Deputy Director Zhao's reply.

The Plastic Factory No. [-] was particularly lively early this morning.

All current employees, men, women, old and young, came early. They stayed in the open space of the factory, enduring the scorching sun, just waiting for the news that would determine their fate.

The entire factory area was enveloped in an atmosphere that was both warm and cold, making it look so weird.

Only the injection molding workshop is as busy as usual. The workers from the morning shift have just arrived and are taking over from yesterday's evening shift.

In the originally empty workshop, there were many more people and two old and heavy machines.

Although it looks shabby, it looks very solid and heavy, making people feel very solid.

It can be seen from the chicken intestine-like inscription on the machine label that this is an injection molding machine produced in the country of screws.

The night before yesterday, when Ma Jianguo and the others found these two dusty machines from the warehouse, they were immediately dumbfounded.

The machine, which is more than ten meters long, cannot be moved at all. They know how to use it, but no one knows how to disassemble and assemble it.

Fortunately, Wang Aiguo and Liu Zhenxing came to help, and then they were instructed to disassemble the machine, maintain it, and then transport it to the injection molding workshop for reassembly.

After working on it all day long, these two machines look like they are now.But the two masters stayed up all night and day.

They didn't go home last night, but spent the night together in the warehouse. Now the circles under their eyes still look like rabbits!
Zhang Jiaqiang patted the heavy machine shell and said, "What about these two iron lumps?"

Wang Aiguo rubbed his eyes and said, "Okay, except for the slower speed, everything else is the same as new. The biggest advantage is that it is durable!"

Liu Zhenxing yawned and said, "Old Wang, don't report good news or bad news. This machine is an electric tiger and consumes a terrifying amount of power!"

What can satisfy hunger is good solid food, Zhang Jiaqiang said nonchalantly.

"As long as it can spin and the power supply is enough, I say you two, go home and rest as soon as possible. Our business has just started to pick up a little bit, so don't get tired and lie down again!"

The two old masters looked at each other, shook their heads and said they would leave later, and then each directed the workers to start up and test the machine.

Just when Zhang Jiaqiang was wondering, Finance Wang Hanmei walked into the workshop carrying her signature canvas bag, and then shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Bonuses are being distributed. If you're not busy, come and get it. If you need anything, come to me at the finance department after dinner!"

At this time, almost all the workers stopped what they were doing, hurried to Wang Hanmei, and formed a long queue.

The two old masters were no exception. They stood in the queue and looked at Wang Hanmei expectantly.

Zhang Jiaqiang immediately understood that since the Chinese New Year this year until now, they have received almost no salary. They have only received overtime pay once after being laid off. Now I am afraid that the family will not be able to open the door.

Everyone whose name was called by Wang Hanmei walked out of the team one by one with green eyes and came to her in a hurry, as if travelers in the desert had seen an oasis.

Wang Hanmei was a little scared and said timidly.

"Brother, can you stop looking at me like that, like you want to bite someone?"

The guy smiled naively and said, "I'm looking at the money. What do you think? I have a wife!"

The crowd burst into laughter, and Wang Hanmei stomped her feet in embarrassment.

After a while, those who got the money hurried back to their posts. From their faces, everyone was very satisfied.

When it was Master Wang's turn, Zhang Jiaqiang stopped Wang Hanmei.

"Master Wang and Master Liu have worked overtime for several days to prepare two machines. This time I will give them an extra five hundred. Anyone who makes special congratulations in the future will be rewarded!"

Others were paid from [-] to [-] depending on their position and performance, but these two could actually get [-]. You must know that the salary of the previous factory director was not that much.

Instead of being jealous, the people waiting to receive the money cheered. Some of them cheered for the contribution of the two masters, and some cheered for what Zhang Jiaqiang had just said.

But the two old masters refused again and again, saying that it was not too much.

Zhang Jiaqiang took the money and forced it into their hands, "You deserve this. This is also our system. Do you plan to prevent others from taking this money?"

The two of them accepted it with peace of mind and were busy debugging the machine. They even forgot about taking a break from get off work.

The newcomers brought over by Ma Jianguo today saw that the bonuses given by the old people were more than their previous monthly salary, and their eyes were full of envy and jealousy.

They all secretly vowed to work hard in the future and strive to surpass old people like them.

After a while, all the original workers received their bonuses. Wang Hanmei was about to leave, but Zhang Jiaqiang stopped her.

"Give everyone who worked overtime yesterday to install the machine 100 yuan in overtime pay!"
