70's Raising a Child: I'm done with cannon fodder female supporting roles

Chapter 47 Are you deliberately going against me?
He walked through the crowd and headed towards Shen Nanqiao aggressively.

Father Jiang rode a bicycle, and Shen Nanqiao walked over, her cheeks slightly flushed from the hurry.

When Mr. Jiang saw that all the employees in the factory were present, his face turned red and he felt a little embarrassed.

He has worked in the factory for many years. Although he is not a representative figure, he has always been conscientious and has never made a mistake.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were cast over. Tian Dazhuang was standing in the line. When he saw his master and Shen Nanqiao coming according to the original working hours, he couldn't help but lower his head in shame.

He was afraid that he would not be able to become a regular employee, so he arrived at 6:30. At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder if he had betrayed his master and sister-in-law.

Long Yihang's face was covered with marks from being beaten by Tian Dazhuang. He wanted to ask for leave today, but the factory manager told him that he could take leave but would lose his full attendance pay and wages for that day.

Long Yihang was reluctant to spend the money, and thought that since he couldn't take leave, he could just go to work as usual.

But the factory director came to his house and claimed that everyone had to cooperate with the change of time. If he didn't come, wouldn't he be the one singing the opposite tune?
So at this moment, Long Yihang was listlessly doing the exercises perfunctorily. Seeing Shen Nanqiao with his hands in his pockets, his little face looked calm.

He curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and put on an expression of enjoying a good show, ready to see how Shen Nanqiao would make a fool of himself.

The factory director walked up to Shen Nanqiao and fixed his eyes on her. Jiang's father felt a little uncomfortable and showed a little embarrassment on his face.

However, Shen Nanqiao remained calm, which immediately made the factory director furious. He shouted at Shen Nanqiao:
"Do you still have any sense of shame? Didn't you see that all the factory employees are here? The working hours have been changed, don't you know?"

Shen Nanqiao nodded slightly, his eyes firm, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"Didn't I say this yesterday? This is voluntary."

"Then why are all the others here? This shows that my system is reasonable! You Jiang family are the only special ones in the whole factory. You don't come to work. Are you deliberately going against me?"

The factory manager was so angry that his face turned red and veins popped out on his neck.

"Lao Jiang, you are also a veteran employee of the factory, and you know very well what kind of person I am.

I asked my employees to get up early, do morning exercises, and make work plans. Is there anything wrong with that? The city and the town have already started pilot projects and are preparing to build model factories. Shouldn't we keep pace with the times?"

The factory manager turned to Jiang's father and tried to get him on his side.

Shen Nanqiao sneered and continued:

"Director, what you said may make sense, but what about the salary? Why don't you increase the salary for coming to work half an hour earlier?
If this half hour is also considered effective working time, then wages should be paid.”

When the factory manager heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed with ferocity, and he said viciously:
"Money, money, money! All you do is ask for money! I'm doing this for everyone's health.

Working in a steel mill every day without exercise, your body will break down sooner or later!"

Shen Nanqiao smiled lightly and responded fearlessly:

"Director, to be frank, you are probably the one who needs exercise the most in the factory.

If you don't lose weight, you won't be able to wear these pants and clothes!

Also, everyone has housework to do every morning. No one is idle, and no one is physically weak.

You violated the nine-hour work system and added half an hour of extra work for no reason, but you didn't pay me. How can this be justified?"

"What's so unreasonable about that? This is my factory and I'm the boss! If you don't want to work here, get out!"

The factory director was completely furious and raised his hand, pretending to hit someone. Seeing this, Jiang's father turned pale with fear and hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade him...

Shen Nanqiao took the lead, opened her red lips slightly, and spoke in a clear and powerful voice:
"Don't worry, I won't work in your factory for too long. Don't think you can fool everyone by calling it a model factory. When the leaders come to inspect, you will have to pay for everything if this factory fails to meet the standards.

Yesterday you said in person that changing the time was voluntary, and that you could choose to come for morning exercises or not.

I just chose not to come. If others want to come, that's their choice. I have no objection. Why do you have to keep staring at me?"

The factory manager was left speechless by what Shen Nanqiao said, his face flushed and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Shen Nanqiao continued:
"I will take the maintenance certificate exam in half a month. I keep my word. If I fail, I will work for nothing in the past half a month and will not receive a single cent of salary.

If I pass the exam, and you, the factory manager, don't want to have a maintenance worker in the factory, I have no objection.

As for you saying that I am arguing with you, I am just fighting for a fair and reasonable system for myself and everyone else."

Shen Nanqiao's words were clear and powerful, and everyone present was secretly amazed.

Even Su Qian, who always regarded herself as the most beautiful girl in the factory and considered herself cultured, felt a little embarrassed at this moment.

When she saw everyone's eyes full of admiration, she couldn't help but feel jealous and felt that Shen Nanqiao was stealing her limelight.

Her hands hanging at her sides were trembling slightly and clenched into fists.

Among the crowd, Tian Dazhuang, after some inner struggle, was the first to stand up and echo:
"Director, is what Shen Nanqiao said true? You said that working hours are voluntary, right?"

The factory manager was so angry that he turned around and glared at Tian Dazhuang: "You are the only one who talks too much! What do you want to do?"

Tian Dazhuang straightened his back and said loudly: "If I can choose not to do morning exercises, I will apply to come to work at 7:10.

My grandma is too tired to work alone, I need to get up early to help her pick vegetables in the mountains! "

"Your grandmother works hard, what does it have to do with me!" the factory director roared unreasonably.

Tian Dazhuang's face darkened, his eyes filled with anger:
"Director, are you trying to enslave us and not even caring about people's lives?
My grandma is over 80 years old. She goes up the mountain to pick vegetables by herself with a cane. If something happens to her, who will be responsible?"

Following Tian Dazhuang's lead, others also began to waver.

Many people's families don't agree with starting work early, not to mention that they don't get paid, it's a pure waste of time.

For a moment, everyone was talking and the voices were getting louder and louder.

The factory manager looked at the increasing number of people "revolting" and loosened his belt in anger. He said helplessly:

"Okay, okay, you all listen to Shen Nanqiao, right? I don't care! Since you are all unwilling to make a work plan, I will strictly check your work every day. If anyone dares to slack off, I will double the salary!"

Shen Nanqiao narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself:

Being lazy and slacking off is certainly a problem of work attitude, but it can never be an excuse for the factory director to exploit everyone!

After the crowd gradually dispersed, Jiang's father couldn't help but look at Shen Nanqiao, his eyes full of surprise and confusion.

He really couldn't believe when his daughter-in-law became so strong-willed.
