Jiang Cheng rarely changed his face in front of acquaintances. He would only change his face in an extremely tense situation.
He looked at the man who spoke. It turned out to be the old man of the Zhou family in the village. This old man was 60 years old this year. He had not married yet. He was a bachelor in the village.
Once, someone from the neighborhood committee had arranged a marriage for him, but the girl later disliked him for being useless and ran away with another man. The main reason was that this guy had a bad habit, which was gambling.
Every time he received his salary, this old man would inevitably take his salary and go to the casino to gamble for a night. The result could be imagined. Those casinos had professionals, and it was not easy for a single investor to get out after going in. He only needed half a night to lose all his money.
Therefore, Old Man Zhou had lived to this age, but his family was still penniless. He had no children, and he was the only old bachelor living his life.
Jiang Cheng also knew a little about the history of this old man. His father had once told him stories about the villagers. He said that this old man had been a Red Guard when he was young and had criticized many people. At least 20 or 30 old cadres had died indirectly in his hands, and three or four had died directly in his hands. Jiang Cheng's grandfather was one of those who had been killed by him.
It was because Jiang Cheng's grandfather had been criticized that Jiang Zhiguo was forced to go to the countryside because of his family. Otherwise, according to Jiang Cheng's family background, the trajectory of his life was very likely to be very different.
The man actually said in front of so many people that Jiang Cheng had given too little money. Jiang Cheng couldn't help but ask with a straight face, "Uncle, how much should I give you?"
As soon as this was said, everyone noticed the displeasure in Jiang Cheng's tone. The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle, and everyone couldn't help but be speechless.
Kang Ze, who was standing in front, also clearly noticed that Jiang Cheng's face had become very ugly. He was the person closest to Jiang Cheng, so he could naturally see the change of Jiang Cheng's facial expression clearly.
At this moment, the elevator door opened. After Jiang Zhiguo got out of the elevator and walked out of the door, he walked to Jiang Cheng's side and asked the people in front of him, "What are you doing? Why did you all come to my house? "
This time, everyone was even more speechless. Jiang Cheng turned to his father and said, "Why did you come down? Didn't I tell you to stay at home? "
Jiang Zhiguo stared at Jiang Cheng and said, "You brat, if I didn't come down, how would I know what happened in the factory? You see honestly. Why did these old people come to our house? Did you do something to let these uncles down? "
Jiang Cheng felt like ten thousand horses were galloping in his heart. He was so poor that he needed to buy underwear, but his father still had the mood to scold him here. Moreover, he even said it in front of these employees who were about to be fired. Wasn't this embarrassing him?
But after all, this was his father. Jiang Cheng couldn't do anything to him. Jiang Cheng had to persuade his father and said, "Don't worry about it. Go home quickly. It's none of your business here.
Unexpectedly, the more Jiang Zhiguo saw that Jiang Cheng wanted him to leave, the more he felt that this kid had something up his sleeve. He said, "It's none of your business where I go. I'm going to stand here today. I want to see what these coworkers are doing and why they are surrounding my door!"
At this time, Kang Ze, who was the leader, said, "Brother Jiang, say something. Your son now thinks that we old bones are useless and wants to fire us from the factory. He even found an excuse to fool us by saying that the factory is suffering a serious loss. Old Jiang, we don't know whether the factory is suffering a loss or not, but according to our output and sales, how could the factory be suffering a loss now? It's obvious that your son wants to drive all the old people away. He said layoffs. Look, all the layoffs are old employees like us. No one under 50 is on the layoff list. All the people on the list are over 50. Tell me, if he isn't discriminating against old men like us, then what is? "
After listening to Kang Ze's words, Jiang Zhiguo couldn't help but take the list in his hand suspiciously. When he looked up, he found that it was really a list of layoffs.
Looking at the list below, there were densely packed names. Jiang Zhiguo roughly looked at them and found that they were all people over 50 years old.
Seeing this list, Jiang Zhiguo had already believed 80% of what Kang Ze had said. He waved his hand and said, "Workers, go back to work in the factory first. I already know about this matter. I will give you an explanation. I hope that everyone can go back and work well. Please leave this matter to me. Everyone, go back first!"
The excited crowd quieted down in an instant. They looked at Jiang Zhiguo eagerly. At this time, in everyone's eyes, Jiang Zhiguo was their life-saving straw.
Who wouldn't want to do such a good job? Who didn't want to make money? Having a stable income was something that everyone dreamed of. Besides, the current employment situation was so difficult. It was not so easy for people over 50 years old to find a good job.
No one was a fool. In this brewery, they worked six days and had one day off. There was overtime pay for overtime work, and they could eat for free in the cafeteria. The food was so good, the salary was so high, and the stable red packets and benefits were indispensable during the Chinese New Year. Only a fool would take the compensation of two months plus one month's salary and go home to retire. Therefore, everyone hoped that they could stay in the factory and continue to work and make money.
Seeing that no one moved, Jiang Zhiguo couldn't help but shout again, "All of you, go back. I know about this matter. I will think about it for my son. Everyone, go back first and wait for my good news!"
Hearing that his father was actually disagreeing with him, Jiang Cheng was really angry in his heart. He was so poor that he had to beg for food, but his father was still here to promise these old men. Wasn't this putting his family's money into someone else's pocket?
Jiang Cheng stopped Jiang Zhiguo and said, "Dad, what are you doing? Go back quickly. This is not something you can handle!"
"What can't I handle? You are my son. Why can't I handle your business? You bastard, I haven't seen you for more than a month, and now you come back and make layoffs. You are really capable. I haven't seen you in the factory for more than a month. Xiao Qi, a woman, is worried about your factory, but you come back and make layoffs. You are so powerful now. Let's go home first. I will interrogate you slowly."
After that, Jiang Zhiguo took Jiang Cheng's hand and walked to the elevator, ready to take him home. At this time, everyone outside saw this scene and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
After a while, Jiang Cheng was pulled into the elevator by Jiang Zhiguo. Kang Ze looked at the situation and thought that this old man was very powerful. They talked for a long time but couldn't move, but Jiang Zhiguo came and settled it with a few words. Everything has its vanquisher.
Kang Ze clapped his hands and said, "Well, everyone, go back first. Let's go back to work in the factory. I don't think there's anything to do with the layoffs. Everyone, go back to work!"
With a whoosh, everyone turned around and walked back. It was really fast, and the road that was full of people just now was quiet in an instant.
The security guards of the community dared to come up at this time. They were all confused. They all thought that it was some underworld criminal gang that came to smash the house, but after thinking about it, they felt that it was not right. How could there be an underworld composed of old men?
Besides, in Jiangnan City, which underworld could be more evil than their boss, Brother Jiang? In this area, Brother Jiang was the biggest underworld, and he was the most aboveboard kind. Even the police dared not provoke him. Jiang Zhiguo forcibly pulled Jiang Cheng back home.
Jiang Zhiguo forcibly dragged Jiang Cheng back home. As soon as he entered the house, Jiang Cheng lost his temper. He shouted at his father, "Dad, what are you doing? I'm doing serious business. How can you vouch for him? Let me tell you, the layoff is non-negotiable. It has to be carried out!"
Unexpectedly, at this time, Jiang Zhiguo's attitude changed 180 degrees. He said with a smile, "Son, I know you're in trouble now. I also support you in the layoffs, but you can't do it like this. You can't lay off all these people at once. In this way, you will become the target of public criticism. It's easy to talk to these old people, but it's not easy to talk to them about being laid off."
Jiang Cheng didn't expect that his father's attitude would change so much. He couldn't help asking curiously, "Why?"
Jiang Zhiguo explained to his son earnestly, "Think about it. They are all old people, and they won't be able to work for many years. At their age, if you let them be laid off, then they won't have any other jobs to do. You're basically giving them a death sentence. It would be strange if they didn't make a fuss!"
Jiang Cheng suddenly understood. He had never considered the situation after those old people were laid off. He only considered the difficulties of his factory and the determination to lay off people. Now his father's words suddenly made him feel enlightened.
However, the layoffs still had to be carried out. Jiang Cheng said with a bitter face, "Dad, I'm in a lot of debt now, so I really can't afford to support these old people. If they don't lay off, I will be laid off!"
When Jiang Zhiguo and his wife heard that their son was in debt, they couldn't help frowning. They always thought that their son opened a factory and a company to make money, but they didn't expect that he was in debt.
His son was family, so Jiang Zhiguo would certainly stand on his son's side. Jiang Zhiguo thought for a moment and said, "Well, you can do this." Then he whispered in Jiang Cheng's ear for a while.
