Gao Xuezhen was 50 years old this year, and he didn't have many years left to work. He was now a supervisor in the factory, and every month, he could get a salary of more than 4,000, close to 5,000. This salary was considered good in a second-tier city like Jiangnan City.
At the age of 50, he could make a lot of money for his family every month. His son was 27 years old this year, and he just got married. He worked in a sales company, and he could get more than 3,000 a month. His daughter-in-law was also an office worker, and the couple's combined salary was only about 6,000.
For his only son, Gao Xuezhen took out his life savings and bought a 120 square meter house in a residential area under the Nan Hua Group, with a down payment of more than 300,000.
The remaining 300,000 yuan was repaid in installments. Due to her son's work needs, Gao Xuezhen borrowed money to buy a 140,000 yuan car for her son. The family spent so much money all at once, and the family's finances immediately began to struggle.
Gao Xuezhen calculated for himself. These years, he had been working in the winery, and every month, he used his own money to pay for social security. When he retired, he could still get a lot of money every month.
But the premise of all of this was that he had to stay in the factory until he retired at the age of 60. But now the situation was very clear. If he wanted to continue sitting in this supervisor position, he had to listen to the words of this 20 something years old girl in front of him, and he had to obediently cooperate with her in the layoff.
Gao Xuezhen was in a dilemma. On one side, he had work and family, and on the other side, he had fought with his old colleagues for decades. Which one was more important, and it made it difficult for Gao Xuezhen to choose.
These workers were about the same age as him, and some were older. If so many people were to be laid off in one go, it would be good for the factory, because the current production scale didn't really need so many workers. To be honest, Gao Xuezhen knew that there were a lot of people in the factory who didn't work.
Naturally, most of them were the old workers. After thinking for a long time, Gao Xuezhen finally made a decision. He firmly nodded and said, "I firmly support the director's work, and cooperate with the director to do a good job in this layoff."
Qi Qiaotong immediately found people from the personnel department and the administrative department, and handed them a list she had just finished. She said to them, "According to the people on the list, inform them one by one that they don't need to come to work tomorrow."
When the personnel saw the list Qi Qiaotong handed over, they were all dumbfounded. There were hundreds of densely written names, and when they looked carefully, they were all the names of some old workers.
Everyone was confused. They didn't know what the director was doing. A staff member wanted to ask Qi Qiaotong, but Gao Xuezhen, who was standing on the side, glared at him. He said seriously, "What are you waiting for? Go and inform them one by one. Before the end of the day, you must inform all the people on the list!"
When everyone saw that the boss of the department had spoken, they didn't dare to waste any more time. They took the list and quickly returned to the department. The photocopier made a dozen copies of the list, and then each person had a copy. After that, they went out to inform the department.
Song Nuan was in charge of the 30 old workers in the first workshop. She took the list and rushed to the first workshop with a worried heart.
The first workshop was the largest workshop in the factory, and it was also the workshop with the largest number of people. There were 130 employees, 30 of whom were over 55 years old.
Song Nuan took the list and found an old man named Kang Ze. She said to the old man in a weak voice, "Uncle Kang, can I have a word with you?"
When Uncle Kang saw that it was Little Song from the personnel department of the factory, he immediately became interested. Little Song looked very pure. She was only 23 years old this year. She had just graduated from college and applied to be a clerk in the factory.
Kang Ze said to Song Nuan with a smile, "Little Song, what can I do for you?"
Song Nuan glanced at the ferocious male employees around Kang Ze and said weakly, "Mr. Kang, can we talk in private for a moment?"
Seeing Song Nuan like this, Kang Ze thought that she didn't have any private things to tell him, did she? Uncle Kang was 55 years old. He had lost his wife when he was 30, and he hadn't remarried yet. His son had also gone to Shenzhen, a big city in the south, to work.
Being single all year round made Uncle Kang feel very lonely both physically and mentally. When he had nothing to do, his biggest hobby was to go to the red-light district in the city and go to the shampoo room to wash his hair and get a massage.
However, Uncle Kang had a problem. He liked young and beautiful girls very much. He had been to the shampoo room too many times, so he had lost interest in them.
Now Little Song, a beautiful girl from the personnel department, suddenly came to find him, which made Uncle Kang's heart a little excited. He wondered if Little Song had encountered any difficulties and wanted to ask him for help.
Uncle Kang agreed without hesitation and followed Song Nuan to a corner of the factory. Then he looked at Song Nuan with a smile and asked, "Little Song, what can I do for you?"
Song Nuan swallowed and said, "Uncle Kang, Supervisor Gao asked me to inform you that the factory is in a difficult situation now and he plans to lay off workers. Unfortunately, you are on the list of layoffs. Supervisor Gao told me that you don't need to come to work tomorrow and come to the finance department the day after tomorrow to settle your salary!"
Kang Ze thought that Song Nuan wanted to tell him something. He thought that she had encountered difficulties and wanted to ask him for help, but he didn't expect that she would announce such a piece of news, which made Kang Ze a little helpless.
A few seconds later, Uncle Kang came to his senses. He shouted at Song Nuan, "What did you say? You want me to be laid off? Are you kidding me? I've been working in this factory for 30 years. Today, you want me to be laid off because of a few words? Did Gao Xuezhen tell you that? I'm going to find him now. I'll see who gave him the courage to fire me! "
After that, Uncle Kang went to the office of the personnel department angrily, intending to ask Gao Xuezhen for an explanation.
But as soon as he took a step, he found that he couldn't move. He saw that the little girl Song Nuan was holding his hand behind him and said eagerly, "Uncle Kang, don't be so excited. This time, you are not the only one to be laid off. More than 100 people in the whole factory will be laid off. There are 30 people in your workshop alone. I'm just here to inform you."
"Inform your mother? I've done my best for the factory. Now that the factory is working and making money, you want to fire me? How can this be reasonable? I tell you, Little Song, I dare not beat you just because you are a little girl. Damn it, if you dare to fire me, I'll see who dares to!"
With that, Uncle Kang snatched the list from Song Nuan's hand. He took a look at the list and found that there were 30 names on it, and the first one was him.
Now Uncle Kang finally understood. No wonder this little girl came to him directly as soon as she came down. It turned out that he was the first one! He had been happy for a long time, but it turned out that he had been happy for nothing.
Uncle Kang ignored Song Nuan and rushed back to the workshop with the list in his hand. He raised the list in the air and shouted, "Everyone, come and have a look. Jiang Cheng is so arrogant that he is going to fire us. Come and have a look!" Uncle Kang's eyes lit up and he shouted, "Everyone, come and have a look.
Soon, all the people in the workshop were attracted by Kang Ze's loud voice. They gathered around Kang Ze and asked him what was going on. Kang Ze waved the list and said, "My fellow workers, take a good look. Open your eyes and take a good look.
Kang Ze waved the list and said, "Fellow workers, take a good look. Open your eyes and take a good look. We old bones have dedicated our lives to the factory, but in the end, now that the factory is booming and making money, they don't want us anymore. This is a list of layoffs. There are 30 names on it. They are all old employees of our workshop. Now that we are old, Jiang Cheng, that brat, has begun to think that we are a burden. We can't make money for him, so he wants to kick us out. Everyone, do you agree or not?"
"I don't agree!"
People liked to join in on the fun, and once it was related to their own interests, they would be the first to resist. Kang Ze's words stirred up the atmosphere at the scene. The employees began to pass the list around to read, and the atmosphere became even worse.
The employees who saw their names on the list were extremely excited and angry.
Their emotions were extremely excited and angry, and they all threatened to demand an explanation.
Seeing this, Kang Ze couldn't help laughing in his heart. He thought to himself, "Brat, now that you have made money, you want to kick us out? It's not that easy. Just wait to go bankrupt."
Kang Ze had been in prison in his early years. After he came out, he knew nothing. With the help of his family, he entered the popular unit at that time, Jiangnan Brewery, and became an ordinary worker in the factory.
Before entering the factory, Kang Ze was a well-known gangster who specialized in the underworld. In the 1980s, he was almost arrested and shot for being a gangster. After escaping, he was afraid and worked in the factory obediently from then on.
However, it was easier to change mountains and rivers than to change a person's nature. Kang Ze, who had been a gangster for decades, had never changed. In the past, when he was in the old factory, he liked to be sneaky. Now that Jiang Cheng was the boss, this bad habit still hadn't changed.
As the helmsman of the factory, Qi Qiaotong was very clear about the shady business of these old gangsters, so the first on the list of layoffs was Kang Ze.
At this time, Kang Ze saw that the atmosphere at the scene had become lively. He raised his arm again and shouted, "Workers, it's useless for us to quarrel here. We should go to that brat Jiang Cheng. He doesn't care about us uncles. Let's not be polite to him. Let's go to his house and ask him for an explanation. Everyone, follow me!"
This proposal immediately received the approval of all the old people present. Dozens of old people on the list and dozens of old people who were not on the list followed Kang Ze out of the workshop. As soon as they left the workshop, three teams came toward them. After asking, they found out that they were all going to Jiang Cheng's house.
