Reborn in 1985, starting from a machine factory

"Chen Mo, a worker in Production Department Three, is far from being a simple man!"

Seeing that Secretary Liu remained silent, Director Li ignored everything else and blurted out what was on his mind.

He was never good at taking things slowly; what he liked most was to have real weapons pointed at his face, just like back at the workshop entrance.

"Factory manager, as far as I know, Chen Mo reported to you on the first day the equipment broke down that it was a problem with the guide rail."

"At that time, Yang Hui hadn't disassembled the guide rails yet, and the equipment hadn't had similar problems before. How did Chen Mo know?"

"Maybe I'm overthinking it!"

"The operator who has been operating this equipment for many years can spot the problem at a glance, and even though he knows how to repair it, he chooses to stand by and do nothing."

"While waiting for equipment to affect the project's progress, it also provides an opportune moment to showcase oneself and seek greater benefits for oneself."

"I don't know if it was just a coincidence of the equipment or the person!"

Director Li stared at Secretary Liu with a cold smile.

Secretary Liu raised his eyelids, just as he was about to speak, when Deputy Factory Director Qian suddenly interrupted:

"Director Li, please sit down and let's talk this out."

"We find this equipment suspicious, and the person seems suspicious too, but we can't make statements without evidence."

"Everyone knows that even when Chen Mo is questioned by the police, someone will bail him out."

"With so many people in the factory, the leaders must have had plenty of consideration when they promote people!"

"What you're talking about are all minor matters!"

The temperature in the conference room seemed to drop several degrees, and more than one person secretly glanced at the factory manager.

The factory director was parachuted in, but Deputy Factory Director Qian wasn't; he had been working there for ten years.

The people in the factory either listened to him or were ostracized long ago.

Secretary Liu also shut up in time; things had gotten to this point, and it was no longer something he could comment on.

Everyone was waiting for the factory manager to speak.

Secretary Liu was even more worried.

If the factory director dares to defend Chen Mo, then the deputy factory director's words will be considered corroborating evidence.

The factory manager adjusted his glasses: "Is the HR department here?"

"Here!" The Minister of Human Resources stood up.

"Suspend him without pay; the official notice will be issued this morning."

The factory manager pointed to Director Li.

Director Li's eyes widened instantly: "On what grounds? By the factory manager?"

"This is an abuse of power by you to suppress dissent!"

The factory manager didn't answer; instead, he looked at the head of human resources and asked, "How should the notice be written?"

The factory manager's gaze remained gentle, yet it left the head of the personnel department momentarily at a loss.

He is not Director Li.

So he lowered his head and said, "Director Li of Production Department Three is making unfounded accusations against his colleagues and undermining team unity."

"After deliberation by the leadership, it has been decided to impose a suspension without pay as punishment."

"Clap clap!" The factory manager clapped his hands lightly, then looked at Deputy Factory Manager Qian: "What does Factory Manager Qian think?"

Deputy Factory Director Qian's smile froze on his face: "Director Li spoke without thinking; his offense doesn't warrant this..."

"Oh?" The factory manager tilted his head back. "Then what do you suggest is appropriate?"

Deputy Factory Director Qian turned his gaze: "I agree to punish Director Li, but Chen Mo's matter must be thoroughly investigated!"

The factory manager turned his head: "Xiao Liu, let's move on to the next topic. I think it's the production early warning mechanism!"

"Yes, Factory Manager!" Secretary Liu said.

"call!"

Director Li pushed back his chair and left the meeting room without looking back.

Deputy Factory Director Qian also plopped down in a chair, coldly watching Secretary Liu.

...

early morning.

After a busy day yesterday, Chen Mo felt sore all over. He climbed down the partition, still yawning.

Chen Rui and Chen Fen got up very early, and Chen Gang was no exception today.

Compared to yesterday's factory opening, today is even more important, with the first batch of antennas being produced and Sun Dapao's lion dance demonstration this afternoon.

None of these things can be neglected.

Unfortunately, I've already taken several days off. If I don't go soon, the factory might cause trouble again.

Picking up his rice bowl, Chen Mo took a sip of soup: "Auntie, I saw you tutoring the third son when I came back yesterday. How was it?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Fen immediately lowered her head and focused on eating.

Chen Rui didn't even look up: "What you said makes some sense, let's repeat a year!"

"Auntie!" Chen Fen complained softly.

"Let's eat!"

"Second brother, can't you shut up even while eating?" Li Guihua interjected.

Chen Mo hurriedly lowered his head.

After quickly finishing his meal, Chen Mo pushed his bicycle and walked out of the house.

I don't know why, but every day when I go to work, I always feel very heavy.

Who invented this whole "going to work" thing?!

Chen Mo rubbed his eyes and got on his bicycle.

No matter when you look at it, Beiyang Heavy Industry always looks the same.

Workers, all dressed in work clothes, came and went.

As Chen Mo passed the bulletin board, he suddenly stopped.

A crowd had gathered in front of the bulletin board. Chen Mo strained to look up and could see two notices in the distance, posted in the most conspicuous position.

Scratching his head, Chen Mo squeezed his way into the crowd with difficulty.

"Li Guofu, Director of Production Department Three, has been suspended from his duties without pay..."

The large characters left Chen Mo momentarily stunned.

How is that possible?

This is Director Li, a close confidant of the deputy factory director.

The other announcement surprised Chen Mo even more.

"Yang Hui from the Equipment and Power Department has been suspended without pay..."

What's going on here?

Wasn't this person just about to come back?

I haven't been here for two days, what happened?

Chen Mo opened his eyes wide and looked at it carefully again.

That's right!

These are the two people.

"What's going on?"

Unable to contain himself, Chen Mo patted the person next to him.

The man turned his head, and Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat.

Sun Dengke!

Sun Dengke smiled and said in a low voice, "Engineer Chen, you're something else. One whistleblower letter got rid of Director Li and Yang Hui, and even Foreman Song had his bonus deducted."

"What did you say?" Chen Mo raised his voice unconsciously.

Sun Dengke didn't continue speaking, but instead tried to squeeze out of the crowd.

Chen Mo was the same.

"Engineer Chen, did you just get back?" After finally squeezing through the crowd, the two headed towards the office, and Sun Dengke spoke up.

"Yes, I've had some things to take care of at home these past few days."

"I knew it!"

"The news spread like wildfire yesterday afternoon!"

"If you had known, you would definitely have taken a few more days off!"

"Hey, Section Chief Sun, just say what's on your mind!" Chen Mo urged.

"Did you write a letter of complaint?" Sun Dengke asked as he pushed open the office door.

"yes!"

"The main focus is on analyzing the division of responsibilities for aid projects in Africa," Chen Mo began.

"Secretary Liu used your documents to punish all those involved, and the two people primarily responsible were suspended without pay."

"The technical department and Production Department 3, which you've implicated, will have their bonuses and wages docked for everyone. Even the two department heads will have to write self-criticisms!"

"Tsk tsk, Engineer Chen, your pen is truly like a knife!"

Chen Mo's expression froze on his face.

"To be honest."

Sun Dengke looked up: "I think you should avoid this once you finish writing the manuscript I need."

"Workers are always impulsive!"

Sun Dengke spoke tactfully, but a chill ran down Chen Mo's spine.

If I heard correctly, he offended both the production department and the technical department.

Although Beiyang Heavy Industry is large, where is there room for it to stand?

"Knock knock knock!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Before the door could be opened, Secretary Liu pushed it open and came in. He had a smile on his face, but it made Sun Dengke unconsciously stand up and take a few steps back.

"Chen Mo, do you have time to chat for a bit?"

Secretary Liu spoke.
