Strike?
When Lu Zhou heard this unexpected word, he paused for a second. It took him a while to come back to his senses.
"Strike? Strike … What work. "
"It means that everyone has stopped working." Secretary Zhou said, "Now the entire project in the electromagnet research laboratory has stopped. The researchers have gone to the lobby of the laboratory building to sit quietly, protesting your scientific research reform … In short, the scene is chaotic now. If we let them continue to make trouble, I am afraid that the board of directors will have an opinion."
Hearing Secretary Zhou's words, Tang Yunge, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but show a bitter expression on his face.
To be honest, he was not surprised that this would happen.
The entire electromagnet research laboratory had almost become Director Liu Sihai's backyard. With the support of Song Yangwei, who held an important position on the board of directors, he had almost corroded the electromagnet laboratory of East Asia Power through several years of operation.
From the team leader of the key project team to the management personnel who docked with other laboratories and production units, all important positions were held by his trusted aides.
This was not a problem that could be solved by removing one or two people.
Unless the entire East Asia Power research and development department was overhauled, forget about second-generation controllable fusion, it would be a miracle if East Asia Power could continue to maintain its advantage in the field of first-generation controllable fusion.
Lu Zhou: "Did they make any requests?"
Faced with this question, Secretary Zhou hesitated for a while and did not speak.
Finally, seeing the impatient expression on Lu Zhou's face, he gritted his teeth and spoke truthfully.
"They asked the board of directors to revoke your position as a member of the Scientific Committee and stop using administrative means to interfere with the daily work and academic freedom of the laboratory."
Daily work of the laboratory?
Academic freedom?
Lu Zhou was so angry that he almost laughed out loud.
"What if I don't agree?"
Hearing the unfriendliness in Lu Zhou's tone, Secretary Zhou spoke cautiously.
"According to the representative they elected, if you don't agree, they will resign collectively …"
"Pfft —"
The moment he heard these words, Lu Zhou finally couldn't hold back and laughed at this serious moment.
After a minute, he was finally done laughing. He coughed twice and stopped.
He looked at Secretary Zhou, who was muddled. He paused for a second and spread his right hand.
"Where is it? Give it to me. "
"Dong?" Secretary Zhou looked at his boss in a daze and asked in confusion, "What is it?"
Seeing that he did not react for a long time, Lu Zhou looked at him strangely.
"A resignation letter!"
"You're threatening me with resignation? You don't even want to write a resignation letter?"
Secretary Zhou and Tang Yunge, "…???"
…
In the electromagnet research laboratory, the atmosphere was particularly lively today.
No one knew who first said, "Academician Lu wants to lay off half of the researchers in the institute." Then, someone stood up and called for everyone to unite and protect their rights. In short, the situation became like this.
From the office to the laboratory, almost all of the desks were empty. Whether it was out of intention or under the instructions of their superiors, everyone came to the hall on the first floor of the laboratory building. They sat on the ground with protest signs in their hands, protesting against the reforms implemented by Academician Lu.
"Are we doing this … a bit out of line?"
Looking at the crowd in the hall, an old researcher who had worked in East Asia Power for nearly 20 years showed an uneasy expression on his face.
This uneasiness was not out of conscience or moral sense, nor was it out of uneasiness and guilt for working without pay for more than ten years. He was just worried that things would get out of hand.
"If it's not out of line, what's the point? The bigger this matter is, the better the final result will be for us! "
Yang Xiaofeng smiled happily as he looked at the increasingly heated atmosphere in the hall. He narrowed his eyes and continued, "I bet that old popsicle must be as anxious as an ant on a hot pan."
Times had changed a long time ago.
People nowadays were not the tools they used to be. They would fight for their own rights.
Unfortunately, Academician Lu was not a qualified manager. If he had a little bit of management skills, he would never take such tough measures to promote his one-size-fits-all reform.
East Asia Power did have many problems, but these problems were not limited to East Asia Power.
He admitted that he was indeed messing around. The most beautiful paper he had written in so many years was when he graduated. However, the rules of this world were like this. He didn't think this was his problem.
What's more, the predecessors had left such a big family business. If the younger generation didn't squander, how could they reflect the greatness of the predecessors?
Looking at the empty door not far away, another researcher sitting next to him spoke in a nervous tone.
"Do you think Academician Lu … will really compromise? I feel like he wasn't that kind of person in history. "
"It doesn't matter if he compromises or not." Yang Xiaofeng said slowly, "As long as the shareholders see the trouble he caused after he took office and the bleak stock price, they will naturally make the right choice."
Of course, if Academician Lu was willing to cooperate, the door of dialogue was still open to him.
The premise was that he was willing to be a mascot and sit in the chairman's position, not meddling in other people's business, and not touching the cake in his hands.
Suddenly, there was the sound of dense footsteps coming from the door of the laboratory.
When Yang Xiaofeng saw the person who appeared at the door, he was suddenly overjoyed.
The person who came was none other than the administrative secretary in Lu Zhou's office, Zhou Lei. Although he was a little disappointed that it wasn't Lu Zhou who came here, sending his secretary here so quickly …
Obviously, that guy couldn't hold it in anymore!
Yang Xiaofeng stood up from the ground and patted his pants. He then calmly walked in front of Secretary Zhou.
He raised his chin and spoke with an arrogant look on his face.
"What are you doing here? We want to see Academician Lu, not his secretary.
"If he still has this arrogant attitude and refuses to talk to us, then we will make him pay for his arrogance!"
This guy …
It seems like he doesn't realize his situation at all.
Secretary Zhou looked at him with pity. He looked away and coughed. He then looked at the researchers sitting in the hall and spoke.
"Everyone has been sitting here all morning, you haven't had time to eat yet, right?
"Academician Lu is very considerate of everyone's hard work. In order not to delay everyone's lunch, we will try to complete all of your procedures before noon."
Procedures?
What procedures?
Yang Xiaofeng was stunned by this inexplicable sentence. The lines that Yang Xiaofeng had been brewing for a long time were suddenly pushed back into his stomach, and he almost suffered an internal injury from holding it in.
"What procedures? What do you mean? "
Secretary Zhou opened his mouth and hesitated on how to explain. However, at this moment, the staff of the Legal Department standing next to him said impatiently.
"Other than resignation procedures, what else can we do? Didn't you guys resign? You're too lazy to even write a resignation letter. Hurry up and fill in the form, don't waste time. "
Yang Xiaofeng: "???"
Resignation?!
What is going on?!
The moment they heard this sentence, the entire hall on the first floor of the laboratory building was like a pot of boiling water, completely boiling.
As for Yang Xiaofeng, he was dumbfounded. He looked at Secretary Zhou and the legal department staff member, unable to say a word.
Even though he used the resignation of all of the laboratory staff as a threat, he never thought the final result would be like this.
A drop of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Yang Xiaofeng noticed the pairs of eyes looking at him. He gradually began to realize that the situation was not good …
