Chapter 19 The solution is not a solution
"Brother Ye, I have some good news for you. After discussion with the factory leaders, they decided to increase your salary from level 30 to level 26. From today on, you will be the youngest eighth-level clerk in our factory, with a monthly salary of three
Thirteen yuan.”
As soon as Deputy Director Li saw Ye Guoqiang, he told him the news.
At the factory leadership meeting, he originally wanted to mention Ye Guoqiang's treatment, but unfortunately conditions did not allow it.
The next higher level is level 25 (level 7 clerk), with a monthly salary of 37.5.
This level is the level for technical secondary school students after they become regular students, and there are rigid regulations.
"It's a pity, brother, that your academic qualifications are low, otherwise I could have mentioned them to someone higher up." Deputy Director Li shook his head regretfully.
"Thank you, Director Li, for your promotion." Ye Guoqiang thanked him casually, and then said, "Director Li, I came here today to see you for other matters."
"Okay, let's go in and talk." After hearing this, Deputy Director Li opened the door of the office and invited Ye Guoqiang into the room.
"Director Li, I often go to the countryside to look for resources, and every time I get pain here." As soon as he entered the door, Ye Guoqiang touched his chest with his hand, with a sad expression on his face.
What?!
Deputy Director Li was dumbfounded and couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Ye Guoqiang was selling in his gourd.
What do things in the countryside have to do with you, me, and the steel rolling mill?
Your expression is a bit too exaggerated.
Ye Guoqiang stopped performing, feeling a little embarrassed.
He also found that his performance was too exaggerated.
"Brother Ye, we are not outsiders. You might as well speak more clearly." Deputy Director Li looked at Ye Guoqiang sincerely.
"Director Li, it's like this." Ye Guoqiang's face became slightly hot, he cleared his throat and continued, "I have learned a theory in the past two days."
"What theory?"
Deputy Director Li was a little impatient, but when he thought about the backing behind him, he had to show a very patient look.
Ye Guoqiang solemnly said: "Social responsibility theory!"
"Social Responsibility Theory?"
Deputy Director Li recited it silently in his mind, confirming that he had never heard it before, and asked curiously: "Where did you hear this theory?"
"I heard about it from a leader by chance." Ye Guoqiang smiled calmly.
This theory has been around since the late 1940s, and was proposed by the Press Freedom Committee from Eagle in the book "A Free and Responsible Press." It was not circulated in our country until the early 1990s.
"A leader?"
Deputy Director Li's eyes lit up.
He wanted to ask who the leader was, but he remembered the warning from his patron and held back the words.
Ye Guoqiang briefly introduced the general meaning of social responsibility theory.
Deputy Director Li nodded repeatedly.
As expected of a leader who keeps secrets about his own backers, the pattern is just different.
While they were still working hard to increase production and solve the problem of food, leaders had already begun to think about a company's social responsibilities.
After thinking for a while, Deputy Director Li still didn't understand why Ye Guoqiang came to him, and asked: "What does the countryside have to do with this social responsibility?"
"Director Li, that's what I think about it." Ye Guoqiang smiled confidently, "We can launch an activity to send warmth to the countryside."
"Why send warmth to the countryside?"
Deputy Director Li became interested and gave Ye Guoqiang an inward look.
"Director Li, although the city's supplies are scarce, they are much better than those in the countryside. We can't help you materially, but we can help our farmer brothers spiritually."
"how do I say this?"
"I think we can send projectionists to the countryside and take the initiative to show movies to the farmer brothers. The spiritual world of the farmer brothers will be satisfied, and maybe they can grow more crops."
Seeing Deputy Director Li taking the bait, Ye Guoqiang finally revealed his purpose.
That’s right!
He wanted to increase Xu Damao's workload so that he would not have the energy to take care of his family.
"Our factory has always done movies in the countryside?" Deputy Director Li was still confused.
"One is passive and the other is active, they are different." Ye Guoqiang said with a smile, "We must give full play to the subjective initiative of our working class instead of being passive."
The steel rolling mill did go to the countryside to show movies, but the commune found the factory, and the factory sent projectionists to the countryside. It never took the initiative.
Deputy Director Li is a little worried.
Machines that play movies are not cheap. If something goes wrong on the road, who will make up for the loss?
but…
Deputy Director Li glanced at Ye Guoqiang again.
Regarding the theory of social responsibility and subjective initiative, Ye Guoqiang, who came from the countryside, definitely didn’t understand these things. He also said that he heard it from his leaders.
Leadership! Leadership!
Thinking of the attitude of his backers, Deputy Director Li decided to take a gamble.
"This matter still needs to be studied, but I initially agree with your proposal." Deputy Director Li took the lead in expressing his attitude to Ye Guoqiang.
"I just said it casually. If I don't say it well, Director Li, please don't laugh at me." Ye Guoqiang scratched the back of his head and replied with a naive smile.
The two exchanged pleasantries and Ye Guoqiang left the office.
Deputy Director Li locked the door of his office and made a call to his backer.
He was unsure about this matter and wanted to hear what his backer had to say.
"Can."
After listening to Deputy Director Li's statement, the backer remained silent for a while, briefly expressed his opinion, and quickly hung up the phone.
With the support from his backers, Deputy Director Li was immediately confident.
He first polished what Ye Guoqiang said and brought it to the leadership meeting for discussion that day.
After discussion, all leaders agreed to Deputy Director Li's proposal and decided to launch a campaign to send warmth to the countryside to see the effect.
If the feedback is good, it will be held more often.
After getting off work, Ye Guoqiang received news from Deputy Director Li that he took Ye Guomei back to the courtyard and hurriedly came to Xu Damao's house.
"what are you doing?"
The person who opened the door was Lou Xiao'e. When she saw it was Ye Guoqiang, her face immediately turned ugly.
"I'm looking for Brother Xu. I have good news to tell him." Ye Guoqiang didn't mind Lou Xiao'e's face. He stretched his neck to look inside the room and shouted, "Brother Xu! Brother Xu!"
"Okay, your brother Xu caught a cold yesterday and is resting in bed now." Lou Xiao'e glared at Ye Guoqiang angrily.
At the same time, Xu Damao's weak voice also came from inside the house: "It's Guoqiang, come in, cough..."
"Brother Xu, are you okay?" Ye Guoqiang asked with concern.
Xu Damao waved his hand: "It's okay, I just caught a cold last night."
Ye Guoqiang glanced at Lou Xiao'e subconsciously.
Lou Xiao'e turned her head and avoided Ye Guoqiang's gaze.
Ahem!
Xu Damao coughed twice and asked: "Guoqiang, what is the good news you just said?"
"Brother Xu, it's like this."
Ye Guoqiang immediately told Xu Damao about the activity of sending warmth to the countryside.
Seeing that Xu Damao didn't respond, he added: "It is said that the factory will give those who go to the countryside this time an advanced title, and they will be given priority for promotion in the future."
