Reborn in 1985, starting from a machine factory

"Tell me about it!" Secretary Liu opened her notebook.

"Although I was involved in this matter, it is not for me to judge whether the security department was right or wrong."

"The successive factory directors took the lead, and the factory committee consulted to formulate various factory rules and procedures."

"As the head of the department, Minister Sun may not realize that these procedures were actually set up to protect him."

"Protect? Hmm? What Xiao Chen said is interesting." The factory manager took a sip of tea.

"It is indeed a protection! We follow the procedures, and if there are any problems, you, the factory manager, will assist Minister Sun in resolving them."

"But if the regulations are violated, and there are some things that Minister Sun has not handled well, even if you, the factory director, want to help him, it will not be easy to do so."

"Of course, this is just a matter of Minister Sun's lack of understanding, and further training is needed. Just like this 'Production Early Warning Mechanism,' the factory workers also lack this kind of understanding."

"Everyone knows how to do it, everyone knows what the right thing to do is, so there will naturally be far fewer problems," Chen Mo said calmly.

"Xiao Liu, take good notes. What Xiao Chen said makes sense." The factory manager glanced at Secretary Liu.

"Yes, Factory Manager," Secretary Liu replied, his hands still moving.

"Factory manager, regarding this 'Production Early Warning Mechanism,' I would like to ask if it could be published in the factory bulletin so that everyone can have a basic understanding of it."

"Most workers are still eager to learn and want to do a good job, but their levels of education are different, so there will inevitably be some deviations," Chen Mo continued.

"Engineer Chen is right." Secretary Liu put down his pen, looked up and said, "However, the factory director thinks this document shouldn't just be published in the factory newspaper."

"Coincidentally, I also have a few friends at the Beiyang Daily. I wonder if it would be appropriate to show them off?"

Beiyang Daily!

Chen Mo had just submitted an article to the Beiyang City newspaper a few days ago.

suitable!

It's definitely suitable.

There's at least ten yuan in royalties.

Do not!

wrong.

Does this trivial matter really need the factory manager to bring it up personally?

"No, that's not appropriate!" Chen Mo said.

"Oh?" The factory manager looked at Chen Mo.

"I couldn't have written such a manuscript on my own. I wonder if the factory manager could give me some guidance?" Chen Mo said sincerely.

The factory manager's face twitched slightly.

He wouldn't steal credit from his subordinates, nor would he have the time or inclination to do so.

There are actually two things I called Chen Mo over today. The first is about the security department.

Unexpectedly, Chen Mo was very slippery; he talked a lot, but actually said nothing at all.

The second thing was to tell Chen Mo that his manuscript would be published in the Beiyang Daily. He had to inform Chen Mo about this.

But Chen Mo's words made his heart skip a beat.

A nominal mentor!

If this becomes a model case, it will definitely be included in future files and resumes.

Even if this doesn't work out, it won't be a big deal; it's a brave attempt.

"That's not a good idea. I was just offering a few pointers on things within the factory," the factory manager said tentatively.

"No, no, no, Factory Director, please don't refuse. And Secretary Liu, could you please help proofread it?" Chen Mo looked at Secretary Liu.

Secretary Liu's eyes crinkled with a smile; compared to the factory director, he actually needed this kind of achievement even more: "Since Engineer Chen has said so, Factory Director, how about you and I help Engineer Chen proofread it?"

The factory manager nodded slightly: "Then let's do it that way. Proofread it and send it over as soon as possible."

"Yes, Factory Manager." Secretary Liu stood up. "Engineer Chen, this way please."

Chen Mo stood up, walked out of the factory office, and a smile appeared on his face.

The sedan chair was carried by people, and the factory director and Secretary Liu wouldn't share the royalties with him.

On the contrary, it can help you strengthen your relationship with them, making it easier to shift the blame back to them in the future.

A win-win situation, where each gets what they need.

Excellent!

Chen Mo walked briskly.

As soon as he arrived at the workshop entrance, he saw Director Li inspecting the workshop with his hands behind his back.

Bad stuff!

Yesterday we had a tough fight, and he was forced to sign his own document. I heard that Engineer Yang has to go home and reflect on his actions for a few days.

Offending Director Li like this will inevitably lead to him making things difficult for us.

A higher rank can have a crushing effect, but this guy is several ranks higher than me.

This is really giving me a headache!

Chen Mo unconsciously slowed his pace, but Director Li saw Chen Mo at the door first.

"Oh, Engineer Chen is back," Director Li greeted him with a smile.

"Director Li is inspecting the workshop. Secretary Liu just said there are a few documents that need to be confirmed, so I went to take a look." Not wanting to offend a smiling face, Chen Mo forced a smile.

"Engineer Chen's skills are superb, and Secretary Liu will definitely need to help him as well," Director Li said, approaching Chen Mo.

"There are some rumors circulating in the factory. I wonder if Engineer Chen has heard them?"

"I haven't heard it yet, but everyone talks about others behind their backs, Director Li, this is inevitable." Chen Mo carefully chose his words.

"That's right, Engineer Chen, come with me." Director Li walked out of the workshop.

Unable to figure out what Director Li was up to, Chen Mo had no choice but to follow.

"Engineer Chen, some people have said these past few days that you and Engineer Yang have some disagreements about equipment maintenance and procedures."

"However, this is all for work, so don't take it to heart. Everyone just wants the factory to do better."

"That's natural," Chen Mo nodded.

"Actually, you don't know, Engineer Yang is my brother-in-law. He's been reflecting on his actions at home for a day and a night, and he came to see me first thing this morning."

"After thinking about it carefully, you're right, that's how it should be done. I also told him that you're magnanimous and that the equipment has already been repaired."

"He felt very embarrassed, and there were some things he couldn't say in person. He's currently suspended from his job, so it's not appropriate for him to come here."

"So, he asked me to apologize to you." Director Li made sure every word was clear.

Chen Mo felt that every single hair on his head was standing on end; something was wrong, extremely wrong.

I didn't have much contact with Director Li, but I had a lot of contact with Engineer Yang.

That person is arrogant and cares a lot about his image.

If he could say those words, Chen Mo would have bitten the gantry milling machine to pieces on the spot.

Director Li revealed a little secret at the beginning, and then adopted a humble attitude in every way; this was definitely suspicious.

"Director Li, actually, I didn't think this through. Only those who are technically skilled can delve into the subject and master the most advanced techniques."

"It's all for work; bumps and bruises are inevitable."

"It's great that Engineer Chen thinks that way!" Director Li said with a smile, while knocking on the door of the technical department.

"I asked Engineer Yang to tidy up your workstation. Come and take a look."

Chen Mo walked into the technical department. It had been half a month since his last visit, but this time, he could clearly feel that things were different.

The bird I kept in the office has disappeared.

The remaining engineers sat obediently at their workstations, studying books and blueprints.

Yang's previous desk was also the best one, and it was completely empty and tidy.

They even went so far as to replace the tablecloth with a brand new one.

"How about this location, Engineer Chen?"

"Engineer Yang said this spot has the best lighting, and since you like to study materials, it's more suitable for you to sit here," Director Li said, stroking the table.
