Chapter 193 Shooting Yourself in the Foot

Luo Cheng thought that opening up and letting go were two different words. He advised Gao Ru to be more open and did not let her go.

Now that your knot is gone, you can't eat at other people's homes like a starving ghost.

The people from the Women's Federation left with Gao Ru apologetically, and Gao Ru unceremoniously ate several bowls of rice alone. I want you to be a strong woman, but I don’t want you to be good at eating.

In fact, what Luo Cheng didn't know was that instead of saying that Gao Ru was relieved by his persuasion, it would be better to say that he established a new concept for her. Regardless of whether this concept is true or not, for Gao Ru, it is a light in the dark night. Before dawn comes, once this light goes out, people will completely collapse.

Everything Luo Cheng told her, once it was discovered that the real world was completely opposite to what he said, his spirit would definitely collapse. Once established, although Luo Cheng and Gao Ru are similar in age, Gao Ru will definitely regard him as his spiritual mentor.

So even if Luo Cheng did it unintentionally or even didn't notice it, he did use a new set of concepts to guide a person when he needed help the most. Fortunately, Luo Cheng's guidance is positive energy. If in future generations, he is misguided by others, he will learn about it in high-end consumer places.

At night, I stayed up late to draw two more drawings. According to the analysis of the assembly drawings, more than half of the drawings that had been taken out and included in the system were actually the engine drawings. There will always be repeated check-ins in the past two days, but now I can only stick to it. I don't dare to waste the check-ins every day on other places.

November 28th, the 28th day of every month. It is destined to be a festive day for workers, as factories and units are scheduled to pay wages today.

Will wages be suppressed in this era? Wages will be suppressed, but wages are not suppressed deliberately for the sake of suppressing wages. The wages that workers receive are the wages before the 25th, and the 25th to the 28th are the days for financial accounting. Although the salary of this year is easy to calculate, there will be no overtime regardless of seniority, attendance, or designated production tasks. But small factories are easy to calculate, but large factories have tens of thousands of people, so three days of calculation are required.

On this day, almost everyone who goes to work has to get up earlier than usual. It is also a good time to chat with acquaintances on the way to work. Discuss what invoices the factory will issue this month, and whether they can issue extra soap, towels, cups, etc. There are also those who complain that their factories haven’t paid anything for several months, but at any rate, their wages are indispensable. Complaining is better than not having a job.

Today, people who go to work in automobile manufacturing plants all have two bags in hand. They can obviously hold the two bags together, but they still have to hold one in each hand. Even yesterday afternoon when workers came home, some of them went to borrow bags from neighbors if they didn’t have enough bags at home. Before the neighbor asked why he borrowed the bag, the employee of the automobile factory took the initiative to tell him the reason for borrowing the bag.

Alas, there are a lot of complaints from employees. Car manufacturers are, after all, producing cars. Just publish it, it will be distributed with defective cloth, this is food, it is for animals to eat, some rice bran and soybean meal. Just hand it out. The factory doesn't prepare bags by itself, so employees are required to bring their own bags.

But there is also a good thing about the factory. Today, a pig will be killed in the factory. Regular workers can eat four taels of meat, and temporary and apprentice workers can each eat three taels. The chef in the factory is a master chef and braises the meat directly. This meat must not be eaten casually. I will definitely take it home to eat with my family. The only bad thing is that the food is too hard. It would be a pity not to drink some wine.

What others said was sour to others. This was disgusting, and it was a naked show off. The cloth money that everyone saves as a family during the Chinese New Year may be enough to make a set of clothes for the child. Your factory has directly announced it. Even if it is defective fabric, you have to despise it. Others will not despise it. You don’t need votes. People will pay a high price to buy your fabric. It depends on whether you are willing to sell it.

Rice bran and soybean meal were indeed used as feed for chickens, ducks, pigs, and even fish in fish ponds when the harvest in rural areas was good a few years ago and the country was not required to repay debts. But now it is properly classified as miscellaneous grains. Some families have a small number of working people, and they don’t have enough food rations to eat, so they have to spend money every month to buy food at a high price in the pigeon market. With this, there is no need to buy extra.

You can at most take this rice bran to a flour mill to help break it up, and stir it into stick noodles to make steamed buns. The stomach of the Chinese people, like the will of China, is indomitable.

Especially pork, your car factory is crazy. Now that you have meat to eat, why not keep it and give it to everyone during the New Year, so that the employees below can have a meal of meat and make dumplings stuffed with pork during the New Year.

But when I heard that the car factory brought three big pigs back yesterday. Only one pig was slaughtered, and there were two more pigs. Moreover, the factory also has its own breeding shed with four pigs in it, which can weigh up to a hundred or dozens of kilograms until the Chinese New Year. It doesn’t matter if you’re fat or not, it’s better than nothing.

It's sour, it's completely sour, at least in Ngee Ann City, those who can go to work in the automobile factory in the future will also belong to the popular department.

Luo Cheng and his younger brothers and sisters also received a lot of rice bran and soybean meal today, adding up to sixty kilograms each. One hundred and twenty pounds together. Just take it back to Longyang Town and exchange it with others for rice. It doesn't matter if the ratio is higher or lower. And don't let it be just because Luo Cheng took advantage. Many people exchanged rice for this, which was equivalent to saving the lives of their families. As long as the ratio is good, people will be grateful to you if they rush to change it.

Luo Cheng, Xiao Yu and the others don't need to carry bags to work. There aren't that many bags at home, and the whole family can pack them together. For bags, just go to the breeding house and get a few bags containing feed.

Now that the factory has enough manpower anyway, soldiers are asked to take things back to their hometown in the afternoon. Change the rice and come back tomorrow morning.

When Luo Cheng came to work in the factory, the factory was really busy. Director Zhang is still very responsible for the factory, unlike Luo Cheng, who arrived just before work time.

Team Leader Jiang and the others were also watching the excitement. Two large pots were set up outside the office building, and several stools and tables in the canteen were also brought out.

A pig weighing about 180 kilograms was easily held by several workers, each pulling a leg. The pig could not move except howling. Those who can cook may not necessarily know how to kill pigs, but some cooks still know how to do it, especially in the Northeast, where there is a pig-killing dish or something. Some rural cooks will kill pigs.

Master He in the factory knows how to butcher pigs. If he doesn't, he has to hire a butcher. These days, pig butchers don't ask for any money. They just give you a pig tail or a pig's tail or something, and it's considered wages. . It's better to ask for money than to ask for this.

But this time the person who killed the pig was not Master He from the factory, but Master Liu Yiliu who he brought here today, and he even brought two apprentices and so on. According to what Master He said, if he comes here, he will only be the chef. Even if the new cafeteria has not been completed yet, Master He and he are brothers, so they can work in their own way.

Now there is a wooden basin under the pig. The 180-pound pig is really not a fat pig. Master Liu did not hesitate, found the right position and went down with a knife. The pig's howling stopped after a few moments as the blood flowed out. This pig's blood is also a good thing. It can be turned into blood clots for cooking and eating, and the internal organs and other edible things will be stewed.

Of course, as a person in the canteen, he is the happiest person, and he will always think of ways to get some food.

Today, people from the Organization Department were also called over by Director Zhang to help. A master will come to cut the meat later, and people from the Organization Department will be responsible for weighing it. For the four taels and three taels, tie them up with ropes after weighing them. Be fair, just, open and transparent.

When Director Zhang saw Luo Cheng coming, he gave Luo Cheng a cigarette and planned to talk about the pork, so he wouldn't have to settle with the employees. Anyway, the factory is very profitable, so the consumption of pork and the like can only be paid through the retention fee, but the total amount of meat distributed is only about 100 kilograms, which is just over 60 pieces. A cube car can have more than 100 retention dollars.

Luo Cheng didn't accept Director Zhang's cigarette. He had indeed learned to smoke for fun recently, but it was just for socializing. Smoking is fake, although it is a waste of cigarettes, but it is gregarious. As a factory manager, it is easy for others to say that I don’t smoke in this era. Another thing is to show off.

From his pocket, Luo Cheng took out the cigarettes he got from Director Chen of the steel rolling mill. Huazi, of course, does not have this title now, but special offer, and special offer also starts with several points. What Luo Cheng got was no ordinary special offer.

A pack costs one dollar, a cigarette costs five cents, and one cigarette is worth as much as a pack of cheap cigarettes. And if you take two packs of cheap cigarettes, no one will be willing to exchange one with you. This is smoking, and it is smoking in style.

"Here, slap my mouth."

Luo Cheng casually gave one to Director Zhang. Of course, Team Leader Jiang and the others were also watching the fun. There is no one who does research who doesn’t like cigarettes.

After taking the cigarettes, no one had any scruples. They all took out their cigarette cases and carefully put Luo Chengsan's cigarettes in.

There is no one who is not shocked. Director Zhang may not understand, but Team Leader Jiang and others still understand that this cigarette is a special supply, but it also depends on the region. They were all marked, and when Luo Cheng was taking out his cigarettes, Team Leader Jiang could tell by looking at the cigarette box. For those starting with 2, it’s not that local departments don’t have them, but most of them are supplied to military regions.

In other words, ordinary special offers can only be obtained by high-level people in local units. As for those who supply the military region, only some high-level personnel in the army can draw them.

What does Luo Cheng want to do? Clarify his background. Team Leader Jiang and the others also knew that they had already completed at least half of the engine blueprint structure. Many designs and components were much more advanced in concept and performance than the one dismantled in the office.

Team Leader Jiang and the others seemed to be able to stop hesitating, and on the surface they were only working on engine parts. But you can also feel that there is an invisible hand helping this car manufacturer.

Now that we are working on engines, the secondment documents and assistance documents issued above are actually useless. But the various departments in Ngee Ann seem to have received instructions. As long as they come to the door and need to produce accessories, they are almost given priority. It’s not even the second time that they have seen the factory leaders there directly asking people to stop the working machines to help with production.

The most important thing is that the attitude there was completely different when I first went there and when I went there the second time.

There are also steel rolling mills. There are steel rolling mills in the capital and Tiando, and steel rolling mills are very important in heavy industry. It will not be managed by local restrictions at all. To put it bluntly, the leader of the steel rolling mill in Ngee Ann definitely has more power than the top leader here.

But look at what Luo Cheng is doing now. He places an order in the morning and delivers the goods in the afternoon. It was my first time to get a manual forklift, and the steel rolling mill also helped cut the holes. Even the transport vehicles are owned by the steel rolling mill, and the freight does not cost a cent.

Looking at machinery factories, their scale and profits are currently at least as much as those of automobile manufacturers. People don't dare to say a word in front of the steel rolling mill. If you offend the steel rolling mill, you will be asked to replace the leader directly.

Luo Cheng watched as several people carefully put away their cigarettes. Although he didn't smoke, he was pretending. This is indeed a special offer from China, that’s right. Don't pretend too much with your own people. Next time you go to meet the leaders of other factories, you have to say, "I'm not a Huazi, I can't get used to smoking."

The pig was also killed, and the others watched it with great interest, even fishing it out. Luo Cheng felt a little nauseous, so he stabbed his stomach, and with a bang, the big wooden basin was almost full.

Luo Cheng withdrew and went back to the office. Let's follow Ah San's example of pulling twenty or so people into one car. Let's arrange for people to go there in the afternoon. In the morning, the workers were allowed to watch the excitement and slaughter pigs to distribute the pork. Anyone who wanted to help could go and help.

Not long after I stayed in the office, three people came from the factory. In addition to the lesbians from the Women's Federation yesterday and Gao Ru, Director Xiao from the subdistrict office also came.

If Gao Ru really arranges to work at the automobile factory, his household registration will basically follow his work, so someone from the street office will definitely come to implement it.

Seeing that Director Xiao was here, Luo Chengtai took out the special cigarettes and scattered one. And Luo Cheng also noticed that Director Xiao's eyes were straightened a bit, and the hand holding the cigarette was obviously a little unnatural.

First he was polite, and then asked everyone who came to sit down first.

"Today you are here at the right time. The pigs are slaughtered in the factory and the master braises the pork to eat. Each of you will bring some back later. Director Xiao and we are old acquaintances, so don't refuse."

"Director Luo is so polite. I'm here just to check things out. I'm not here to take advantage of you. But since this is a coincidence, I'll be respectful and obey."

Director Xiao said with a smile, "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful in general, and this should not come out of his mouth." What does obedience mean? It means following your orders. And if they are at the same level, or one level below and not in the same department, why should they follow your orders? Although this sentence is a polite word, it also has meaning.

Now Luo Cheng and Director Xiao are at the same level, but Luo Cheng actually has more real power, and as long as this development pace continues, Luo Cheng's level will be improved next year.

But the cigarettes just now were easily obtained by a department-level cadre. He couldn't bear to smoke, so when he returned to the street office, he had to display the cigarette to show off to the people in his work unit.

To be honest, there is indeed a hint of flattery in Director Xiao's words. And when Director Xiao said this, why did the people from the Women's Federation have the nerve to refuse? This is a piece of pork. The Women's Federation is the Qingshui Yamen. There is nothing wrong with protecting women's rights, but they also have to eat meat.

Today, Gao Ru is completely different from yesterday. She took the initiative to say hello to Luo Cheng and even introduced that she was a science student at university, so even though she was a girl, she was also interested in mechanical structures and the like. of.

When Luo Cheng heard this, he became interested. The only thing that is difficult to expand in the factory now is the R&D team. Just the three of them, Team Leader Jiang, have to run errands here and there. This person is taking care of apprentices, which is totally acceptable for taking care of students. It must be arranged immediately. The harmony of yin and yang is the kingly way.

But Luo Cheng ignored one thing. He was the most senior engineer in the factory, and several people in the research team had families. They were willing to accept students, but they refused to accept female students for fear of causing gossip. People can take it with them, but the name of the student must be collected by Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng never thought that he would be the one who shot himself in the foot. You guys have families, but he also has a partner. In this era, there is indeed gossip about accepting a female student. But if he doesn't accept it, what he said yesterday is in vain. Others favor boys over girls or be wary of strictness between men and women. Yesterday you told people that it didn't matter if her body was exposed. Today, it doesn't matter if you don't accept her just because of her gender identity.

Although Luo Cheng wanted to say that he, the engineer, was a fake, no one would believe him. They must be collected. I will collect as many as possible in the future. If I only collect one, there will really be gossip.

If Dai Qianqian couldn't be beaten, Luo Cheng wouldn't be afraid. If he accepted a female student, he would be afraid of objections from his family members. If you dare to chirp, I'll see if I don't hit you. But now we really can’t beat each other. If we are together in the future, we won’t know who is superior and who is inferior.
