At ten o'clock in the morning, Xu Qing met with the deputy director of the factory next door in his office to discuss the cooperation last time.

Xu Qing was smoking a cigarette, sitting on the sofa, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who was nearly one round older than him and said:

"There is no problem with cooperation. It's just that during the recent period, our main factory has issued an order to reorganize the factory as soon as possible, and other matters can only be put aside first."

"Director Xu, what about this matter between our two factories..."

"Sorry, I, the factory director, have no control over the main factory's requirements."

"That...okay."

Fifteen minutes later, Xu Qing asked his secretary Xiao Gao to send him off.

A person is sitting alone in the office, quietly lighting a cigarette.

But before I took two puffs, the radio in the factory rang.

According to his arrangement, Wei, the former chief of the Propaganda Department, was notified to replace the newly appointed Chief Liu.

Xu Qing remained silent while listening to the radio.

This is how things should be handled. If you don't kill the chicken to scare the monkey, you won't be able to control the people.

When you are a factory director, you cannot make embroidered pillows.

If you can't control the people under you, you will be sidelined in the factory sooner or later.

But Xu Qing doesn’t care about this, but he still has to do what needs to be done.

Liu Caigui, the deputy director of the factory, didn't say hello and kept silent. He really acted like he didn't know anything.

Do you really think that the factory will not investigate those shameful activities in the past?

The situation is changing drastically. The main factory held a meeting last week to ask all branch factories to rectify. This does not mean that the problems of previous years are solved one by one.

Xu Qing put out his cigarette, sat back at his desk, bent over the documents sent by his secretary Xiao Gao early in the morning, unscrewed the pen, and processed them carefully.

Before getting off work at noon, Sun Deyou knocked on the door and came in. He said with a smile on his face:

"Director Xu, that man named Liu is going to cause trouble. I asked Section Chief Feng of the Security Section to take him into custody. Deputy Director Liu greeted me and beat me. He didn't say anything and was held captive. When do you think it's appropriate?

Put it away."

Xu Qing put down the pen in his hand, closed the document, grabbed the cigarette box on the side, shook out two cigarettes, handed one to Sun Deyou and said:

"Then let's hold him in custody for a few days and let him reflect on it for a few days."

Sun Deyou took the cigarette from Xu Qing with both hands, nodded and said:

"Director Xu, what you said is that we should lock him up for a week first. Also, Deputy Director Liu, do you think we should hold him accountable?"

Xu Qing waved his hand and said: "It's not necessary. This was done in advance. The main factory wants to resume production in the factory as soon as possible. This is the top priority."

Sun Deyou helped Xu Qing light the cigarette and heard the sound: "That's true."

Xu Qing smoked a cigarette and threw the half-processed documents to Sun Deyou and said:

"Director Sun, last year the Second Factory borrowed a batch of parts from our factory. You started working on them at that time. It has been more than a year now, why haven't they been returned yet?"

Sun Deyou lowered his head and glanced at the document, with a troubled expression on his face:

"Director Xu, it's hard to tell about this matter. I only agreed to lend it after receiving a call from the main factory. As you know, the second factory and our fifth factory have to listen to the main factory. Secretary Xiao Gao knows about this.

, Deputy Director Wang also dealt with it and knew it.

But since you said so today, I will call the second factory in the afternoon to urge them."

Xu Qing took a puff of cigarette and said: "Okay, Director Sun, I'll thank you for the hard work."

Sun Deyou smiled, puffed on his cigarette, and did not dare to speak.

At lunch, Xu Qing, Sun Deyou and several deputy factory directors sat in the canteen with the workers to eat.

The factory is not efficient now, so the food provided by the leader is not much better.

Xu Qing asked the Finance Department last Friday. In the past ten years, the factory's production has almost stagnated and it has been losing money.

Not only does there not be a penny of surplus on the books, but there is also a lot of debt from outside. Some equipment that needs repair has been backlogged in the warehouse for several years, and there is no money to repair it.

However, with the main factory taking care of things, the factory can still barely keep operating.

The situation of being unable to make ends meet gave Xu Qing, the director of the factory, a real headache.

I took over a mess, and I can't even try to make peace with it for two years.

Fortunately, Xu Aiguo was at the main factory. As soon as Xu Qing went to work in the afternoon, he called his second brother Aiguo and asked if the main factory could get him something.

Of course, we must work hard to resume production, but the main factory has no support at all. This is no different from a clever woman who cannot make a meal without rice.

We can't just take these junk and let him revitalize the factory.

Xu Aiguo said on the other end of the phone: "Brother, what equipment do you need in your factory? Let me make a list. I'll take a look at it when you go home in the evening. I'll help you get it tomorrow."

Xu Qing said hello, hung up the phone, and immediately asked his secretary Xiao Gao to call Sun Deyou and Wang Minsheng and several deputy factory directors into the office.

In the office, Xu Qing said straight to the point: "Everyone, please arrange for people to go to your respective departments to make statistics on what is lacking. Write a list and give it to me before you get off work."

When Wang Minsheng heard Xu Qing's words, he frowned slightly, looked at each other with Sun Deyou and the other deputy directors, and instantly understood what he meant.

One by one, they left in a hurry and quickly found someone to take care of it.

When Xu Qing finished writing about the removal of Chief Liu of the Propaganda Department and decentralized workshop renovation in the morning, and explained the situation to the main factory, Wang Minsheng and several deputy factory directors knocked on the door and walked in, each holding a list in their hands.

There are a lot of things listed densely above.

Xu Qing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and thought to himself:

"These deputy factory directors are so old, they really want to replace everything in the department."

Xu Qing glanced at the orders passed by several people, put them on the table and said:

"Guys, are you planning to rebuild the stove?"

Wang Minsheng was too embarrassed to speak first and looked at Sun Deyou. Sun Deyou looked at his nose and heart, looking at nothing and no one.

Liu Caigui followed suit, and the others did not dare to speak first.

In the morning, Xu Qing directly dismissed the head of the Publicity Department, leaving them all with lingering fears.

Xu Qing didn't say anything, looked at everyone, and smoked calmly.

After a while, Wang Minsheng said:

"Director Xu, our factory has been in many difficulties in the past few years. A lot of things have been damaged, and some equipment has been lost inexplicably. The security department has not found it back until now."

Xu Qing raised his eyelids and looked at Sun Deyou.

Sun Deyou broke into cold sweat on his forehead and said hurriedly: "Director Xu, I will ask the people from the security department to investigate now. The lost things will definitely be recovered!"

Xu Qing was not in a hurry to speak. He slowly put out the cigarette butt, stood up from the chair, and said with a smile:

"Deputy Factory Director Wang, Deputy Factory Director Liu, you all heard it, right? I believe what Director Sun said will count. Now you write the list again. Cross out the lost items and the items that can still be used."<

/p>

Upon hearing this, Wang Minsheng reached out and took back the list he handed over. Seeing this, the other people also took their own lists and re-calculated and summarized them according to Xu Qing's wishes.

When the factory bell rang in the afternoon, Xu Qing folded the list that Sun Deyou and several deputy directors gave him again, and put it on his body.

Riding a bicycle, I left the factory and followed the crowd back to my compound.

At this time, in the courtyard, Xu Aiguo had returned early. Xu Qing parked his bicycle at the door of the house, entered the house, took out the list and handed it to his second brother;

"Patriot, I've asked people to count them. Take a look."

Xu Aiguo sat on the edge of the kang, opened the list and looked at it, and was shocked.

"Brother, our factory is short of so many things. I'll tell you this at the main factory tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to get as much."

Xu Qing smiled and said: "It's okay, Aiguo, please help me get what the workshop needs first. For the rest, I took the time to take the deputy directors to the main factory to ask for them. They handed over the orders, and they wanted to hide behind them.

, it’s not that good!”

Xu Aiguo grinned when he heard his elder brother's words, "Brother, if you do this, the deputy directors in your factory will probably suffer."

Xu Qing asked his son Hongzhi to play in the courtyard with diabolo, then sat next to his second brother and said:

"I am the leader, and they are sitting in the factory waiting for supplies. Now the fifth factory has nothing to ask for. Workers in the workshop don't have the tools to work more efficiently. How can they be deputy factory directors if they don't contribute their efforts?

."

While listening to his elder brother's words, Xu Aiguo held the pen in the breast pocket of his half-sleeve in his hand and drew circles on the list:

"Brother, the other branch factories haven't come to the main factory to ask for equipment yet, so your trick should work!"

At this moment, Xu Fengming came back with the cart. As soon as he entered the house, he heard the words of his eldest brother and his second brother.

Grabbing a towel and wiping the sweat from his forehead, he bared his teeth and said, "Brother, I'm good at asking for supplies. Yesterday I just met with a senior official with our old factory director and asked for a batch of equipment. This morning

The truck was sent to our factory."

Xu Aiguo stopped the pen in his hand, raised his head and said to Feng Ming:

"Third brother, my eldest brother is better than you!"
