Ants exploded, I opened a power plant to supply power to the world

Chapter 158 Chapter 157 An unexpected surprise: colleagues in the same field are being exploited and are clamoring to quit their jobs

"Building 3 of Jianmin Community, right? Okay, we'll send an electrician to your home for repairs."

After hanging up the phone, Ningfang Electric Power's customer service staff also wrote down the address on a small piece of paper, and then directly notified the power team.

……

In the office of the power team, Zhan Zhuoqiang, who had just come in from outside, picked up the cup of water, sweating profusely, and gulped it down in one big gulp.

With this bite, it felt like half of their life was saved. They were very busy this morning, and it has been like this almost every day for the past two days.

After putting down the cup, Zhan Zhuoqiang came to his workstation and planned to sit down and take a rest. However, before he sat down on the chair, a staff member from the customer service center came to the door.

"There's a circuit fault reported at Building 3 in Jianmin Community. Has the fourth shift returned? Send a car!"

After hearing the arrangement, Zhan Zhuoqiang and the other people from Shift 4 who had just returned could only smile bitterly, then stood up helplessly and dragged their tired bodies out of the office.

They are required to provide service in a timely and meticulous manner, which makes them much busier than usual, not to mention when there are many failures during peak electricity consumption periods.

Although it is a bit overwhelming, the work must continue.

……

When they arrived at the parking area of ​​the factory, Zhan Zhuoqiang and his friends were stunned. Where was their old pickup truck? How could they get through without a car?

Jianmin Community is a low-rent housing community in the county town, so its location is quite remote. How can you get there without a car?

"Lao Yao, where is our fourth shift's car? How can we get there without a car? How can we serve the customer as soon as possible?"

The parking lot dispatcher also started to answer after hearing Zhan Zhuoqiang's question.

As soon as they came back, their car was driven away by the people from the sixth shift. Now the nine cars of the electricians in the factory are not enough, and they have to take turns.

"Then I can't do anything. The people in the sixth shift are waiting anxiously but there is no car. So you can give them the car you brought back. If you can walk to the county town, do so. If you can't, take the bus."

……

After hearing the dispatcher's explanation, Zhan Zhuoqiang and his colleagues looked unhappy and walked out of the factory cursing.

No matter what, the car has been driven away and will not come back for a while, so they have to go.

After leaving the long gate, several electricians got on the bus to Jianmin Community.

The bus fare is one or two yuan, and the company doesn't even offer any compensation, so you have to pay out of pocket. No one is willing to pay the seven or eight yuan taxi fare.

It took more than half an hour for the bus to arrive at Jianmin Community.

The customer started talking about it as soon as we arrived.

"You also said that Ningfang Electric Power will arrive at the scene as quickly as possible in the future. It's already past midnight, and my rice is still in the pot waiting for the electricity to cook. What if you only arrive now and delay the children's classes in the afternoon?"

Listening to the barrage of complaints, Zhan Zhuoqiang and the others had to force themselves to smile.

"I'm so sorry, our car broke down, so we had to take the bus. There are not many buses here, so I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

After listening to the apologies from Zhan Zhuoqiang and others, the woman became even more aggressive.

"Bus? Why don't you come over? Such a big power plant collects so much electricity fee every year, but it can't even afford to buy a bus? The electricity bill we pay every month is paid for the dog, right?"

Hearing this, a younger staff member in Zhan Zhuoqiang's class could no longer hold back.

He immediately put away the "smiling service face" he had forced himself to put on, sneered, and then spoke.

"You're right. The boss of such a big power plant is really reluctant to buy more cars for us workers. No matter how much electricity you pay, it has nothing to do with us frontline workers. We work so hard, but our salary is still only a few thousand yuan. It would be better for you not to pay for it so that we can save trouble."

It doesn't make sense to say who is right or wrong in this matter. In essence, the customer is on the customer's side. Their electrician is indeed aggrieved, just like the conflict between the delivery guy and the user.

Ultimately, the blame lies with the boss of Ningfang Electric Power. He insisted on improving service without increasing wages and work equipment. It was okay in the first few days.

When there is a peak electricity consumption period, the conflict will intensify like it is now.

Sure enough, after hearing what the young electrician said, the woman became emotional.

"A few thousand dollars is too little? Then don't do it! I didn't say that. It was the announcement issued by your Ningfang Electric Power Company that said someone must be in the city within 15 minutes."

Zhan Zhuoqiang saw that things would get out of hand if the argument continued, so he quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. He's new here, so calm down. We'll fix the circuit for you right away."

As he spoke, Zhan Zhuoqiang pulled the young electrician aside.

"Xiao Hu, go outside the corridor and have a cigarette and calm down. We can just do this job between the two of us."

After finishing all this, Zhan Zhuoqiang and his team started to repair the circuit. The corridor was really stuffy on such a hot day, and several people were soaked after finishing the work.

……

After coming out of Jianmin Community, Zhan Zhuoqiang and his companions, exhausted, had to take the bus back to the company.

While waiting for the bus, the newcomer Hu Yujin was a little confused.

"Master, can't we just take a taxi back? It's a business trip, so the company won't reimburse us, right?"

Hearing this, several old employees including Zhan Zhuoqiang also laughed.

"You're new here and don't know the morals of our company. It's extremely difficult to get reimbursed. Not to mention the seven or eight yuan for a taxi, even if your car breaks down and you need to get it reimbursed, it will take several months. Often, there are problems with the invoices and they won't reimburse you."

"So, we have developed a habit in our company. Asking the company to reimburse us is just asking for trouble. So we might as well go to hell with it and do whatever we want. We don't expect reimbursement."

Since that’s what has been said, the newcomers have no choice but to wait for the bus obediently.

……

More than half an hour later, the bus arrived at the station and several people walked back to the factory. As a result, they had just entered the office to rest for less than two minutes when the section chief walked in from outside.

"Hey, Zhan, what's wrong with you guys? Why did Jianmin give you four a complaint each this afternoon? Four complaints have wiped out your performance, and my bonus as the section chief is also gone this month. You guys need to stand up and stop accepting complaints."

No one was surprised to hear this, as it was expected.

But what can we do? We can't just go out of our own pocket and buy some fruit and milk and go to the door to ask them to withdraw the complaint, right? So the paid work service has already been implemented in Ningfang Power?

"Hey, what the hell is this?"

"Who said it wasn't? We didn't learn enough from Zhetong Electric Power, so we are exhausted first. Today, everyone in our fourth shift made a complaint, so we have worked for nothing all day." Zhan Zhuoqiang felt unhappy and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Just at this moment, someone else came to the door. It was someone from the dispatch room.

"The fourth shift is back, right? The Lemei Food Oil Factory in Chengjiao Town under the city said that the circuit is broken. You should go and fix it quickly. They are a major customer of our factory, so you have to go quickly. They are waiting for electricity to resume production."

After hearing this, Zhan Zhuoqiang and the others looked at each other, and then the new young man Hu Yujin could no longer bear it.

"We're going to the fourth shift again? We've been busy all day and even spent our lunch break repairing circuits for customers. We're so exhausted. Suburban town? Our car isn't even back yet, and you want us to walk there?"

The dispatcher has been troubled and under a lot of pressure recently because of the company's strategies, and he was very annoyed by Hu Yujin's criticism.

"You can go or not. Anyway, the order is assigned to your team 4. If you don't go, you will be complained about."

After saying that, the dispatcher didn't continue arguing with them. He turned around and walked out of the electrician team's door, just in time to run into the fifth team that had just returned.

At this time, the people in their fifth shift were also very angry, and when they saw the dispatcher, they spoke angrily.

"Old Guo, call the person in charge of the inspection form over here. Will they handle malicious complaints? After working hard all day, an old woman maliciously complained about it in the afternoon. Who can stand working for nothing?"

……

Ningfang Power spent almost the entire day today in this chaotic state.

When Zhan Zhuoqiang returned home in the afternoon, he looked exhausted and depressed. Only when he saw his son rushing towards him did he force a smile.

While they were eating, his wife naturally noticed that he was unhappy and started to ask about it.

After taking a sip of the white wine in the glass, Zhan Zhuoqiang showed a look of surprise on his face, and even his depression today dissipated a lot.

"What kind of wine is this? When did you buy it? It's not cheap, is it?"

It tastes very refreshing and the alcohol content is not high. My wife lets me drink but she tries to give me low-alcohol drinks. In her opinion, this seems to reduce the harm to the body.

But as a drinker, low-alcohol liquor often does not taste so good in Zhan Zhuoqiang's mouth.

But although the alcohol content is low today, the fragrance and the aftertaste after taking the drink are not diminished.

Seeing that her husband liked the wine, Zhan Zhuoqiang's wife also showed a look of joy.

"Didn't my brother come here from Lincheng for some business? I bought you two bottles of this and brought them here. He said it's thirty-nine or thirty-eight per bottle. It tastes good, so I'll give you two bottles. Here, the packaging is here."

Taking the package from his wife, Zhan Zhuoqiang wondered if his brother-in-law was afraid that the wine was too expensive and his wife would complain about him, so he deliberately mentioned such a low price.

How can this packaging and this taste be like a wine that costs less than 40 yuan? It is estimated that it will cost at least 100 yuan. Looking at the words on the package, Zhan Zhuoqiang also read them out.

"Confused wine? The ingredient list is really clean. It's made with pure grains and traditional brewing methods. It would be great if I could really become confused after drinking a glass of it. I wouldn't have so many worries."

Then Zhan Zhuoqiang told his wife about the bad things that had happened in the factory in the past two days. Ever since the boss asked their Ningfang Power to catch up with Zhetong Power, everyone has been in a lot of trouble.

For example, Zhan Zhuoqiang himself received two complaints in one day. Such situations are common, and there are even many people who received four complaints.

"Ah? So your power plant not only doesn't make any money from working every day, but also has to pay for it? You're getting paid to work, right?"

"If you ask me, Zhan, you should just quit. At worst, you can find another job. There's a reason why Zhetong Electric Power in Lincheng, your hometown, is doing so well. How much do they pay their employees? How many employees do they have? If your boss doesn't have anything, just learn from them. Don't learn from them in a weird way."

Hearing his wife's words, Zhan Zhuoqiang also looked helpless. Many colleagues in the leaderless group have already said the same thing.

If they continue to work like this for a few more days, these front-line electricians will not be able to get any bonuses, and even their basic salary will be deducted by a lot.

"Hey, let's take it one step at a time."

……

A few days later, at the Quanhe No. 2 Power Plant of Zhetong Electric Power, Lin Zhe also started working for a rare time.

Mother Jiang Lan was looking at the purchase list while directing the recruited clerks to work with Lin Zhe. The supermarket in the factory had just opened, so naturally as the boss she had to look after it.

"Xiaozhe, be careful. These dozen boxes are all wine sent by your uncle. This wine sells very well in our small shop in the county."

Jiang Lan was not bragging. Hutu wine was very popular in their store. Lin Zhe's uncle was even unable to supply it. She brought the dozen or so new boxes directly to the factory.

Just treat it as a good thing and give it to Lin Zhe's employees to use first. There is no rule prohibiting alcohol in his factory.

As long as you don't have work the next day during work hours, you can have a few drinks with a few colleagues and friends.

"I know, Mom."

As Lin Zhe said this, he carefully put down the wine box in his hand. At this time, a group of girls from the customer service center who were off work happened to pass by.

Everyone was excited to see that the supermarket in the factory was finally going to open.

"It's much more convenient now. We don't even have to go to the village to buy something."

"Yes, and this supermarket is much bigger than the small store in that village. I guess it has a wider variety of things, so it's convenient for us."

"Hey, look, is that Mr. Lin?"

As they spoke, several people lowered their voices, and then looked over and saw Lin Zhe who was being directed by Jiang Lan to do the work of a porter.

"If you want me, you have to do this kind of work from time to time. Just think of it as exercise. Your body is stiff from sitting in the office all day."

She had to be lectured by her mother while working, and this scene also made the girls from the customer service center who were passing by cover their mouths.

No one would have thought that a boss worth over 10 billion would have to obediently do the job of moving boxes in front of his mother.

"Boss Lin, how about we help you?"

"Auntie, let us help you."

As someone took the lead, the others followed suit. After all, Lin Zhe was the boss, so it seemed right to "fawn on" him. Besides, Lin Zhe had always been nice to them, so there was nothing wrong in giving him a hand.

Seeing this scene, Lin Zhe scratched his head in embarrassment. He was a little uncomfortable being surrounded by so many women.

Jiang Lan was happy though.

"Thank you, girls. Just put the things on the shelf. Auntie will treat you to a meal when you are done."

With the help of these skillful girls in the customer service center, Lin Zhe was able to take a rare break and come outside, then answered a phone call.
