Chapter 338 Work Stopped for Inspection
Moreover, he had his own plans. In this turmoil, he did not want to easily take sides, nor did he want to offend either side.
Zhao Baoshan asked persistently, his intentions all too clear.
"Can't you arrange for a safety and fire inspection?"
Xu Haiyin gripped the microphone tightly in her hand. After hearing these words, she was so angry that she almost threw the microphone away.
He inwardly groaned, but outwardly he could only feign composure.
“Mayor Zhao, I’m just a bureau chief. Where do I get such power? Xinsheng Home Appliance Factory is just paying taxes and doing business honestly. If I were to do that, I’d be in deep trouble.”
He really didn't want to do something that would offend people.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Baoshan became even more furious and immediately demanded the phone number of Xinsheng Home Appliance Factory.
"You can't even handle something this simple? Give me the phone number for Xinsheng Home Appliances Factory, and I'll arrange it myself."
Xu Haiyin felt like she had been granted a pardon and quickly gave Mayor Zhao her phone number.
He thought to himself, with great power comes great responsibility. This kind of thing that he couldn't handle, he should leave to the higher-ups to deal with. Finally, he managed to get rid of this troublesome and headache-inducing task.
. . . . . . . .
In the early morning, the family sat around the table to eat breakfast.
Tu Nan finished eating quickly, then got up and went out. His eagerness made it obvious to Zhuang Chaoying what he was going to do—he must be going to see his girlfriend, Wan Shu.
Huang Ling leaned against the kitchen door, a smile on her lips, watching Chao Ying wash the dishes by the sink.
She held a popsicle that was emitting cold air in her hand and gently offered it to Chao Ying's mouth. Chao Ying took a big bite, and the popsicle moved around in his mouth, icing his teeth.
"See, Super Hero, Tu Nan is a lot like you in this respect, a wife fan."
Zhuang Chaoying was happily eating her popsicle when she heard this and couldn't help but burst out laughing. The popsicle she hadn't swallowed fell directly into the basin of water, splashing up a spray.
He turned his head, looking at Ah Ling with a mixture of surprise and amusement. "A wife fanatic?"
Huang Ling nodded vigorously while eating her popsicle.
"That's right, you only have eyes for me now, and everything you do revolves around me. Tu Nan is the same way with Wan Shu now, his eyes light up every time he mentions Wan Shu."
Zhuang Chaoying smiled. "Being a 'wife-obsessed' guy is good too. At least our Tu Nan won't be a bachelor. This guy knows how to treat his girlfriend well. Isn't that better than me? I take such good care of you."
Just then, the phone rang. "Ring ring ring!"
Huang's mother was sitting on the sofa in the living room. Upon hearing the sound, she quickly got up, walked to the phone, and picked up the receiver.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
"Hello, I'm looking for Zhuang Chaoying. I'm from Xinsheng Home Appliance Factory." A hurried male voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Okay, okay, I'll go and get him to answer the phone in a bit."
Huang's mother responded and then put the phone aside. "Chaoying, the phone is ringing. It's for you."
Upon hearing his mother-in-law's call, Zhuang Chaoying quickly wiped his wet hands, strode into the living room, and answered the phone, "Hello."
"It's me, Chaoying! Something's happened at the factory!"
"People from above are coming to conduct a safety and tax inspection, so the factory's production lines have all stopped. Every day that's stopped means a lot of money lost. Also, our new rice cooker product has already been paid for by distributors. If we can't deliver on time, the penalty for breach of contract will be substantial."
Zhuang Chaoying frowned, wondering to herself why the higher-ups suddenly wanted to conduct a security check.
The new home appliance factory is under Secretary Zhou's protection, don't they know that?
There's definitely more to this than meets the eye. Could it be that they've threatened someone's interests?
The factory gradually received more than 100 educated youth and arranged jobs for them; there were all sorts of people among them.
Nowadays, a large number of educated youth are returning to the city and jobs are hard to find. Many of the leaders' children are also unemployed. With the emergence of a profitable enterprise like the Xinsheng Home Appliance Factory, it is only natural for Secretary Zhou to allocate some positions to his relatives and subordinates. This is going to be quite a spectacle.
"Old An, don't worry, I'm coming right away."
As he spoke, he turned and walked to the cabinet, picked up the safety helmet on top, and looked at Huang Ling. "Ling, I need to go to the factory; something happened."
Huang Ling stepped forward and straightened his collar. "Chao Ying, ride your bike slowly, safety first."
Zhuang Chaoying put on her helmet and pushed the motorcycle. "I know, don't worry."
. . . . . . .
Less than twenty minutes later, Zhuang Chaoying parked her motorcycle downstairs in front of the factory office building.
Xiangyang was waiting at the door early. As soon as he saw Zhuang Chaoying coming, he ran over to her anxiously. "Teacher Zhuang, one group of them is checking the reports in the finance office. They're checking them very carefully, not letting any page slip by. Another group is in the workshop, looking around everywhere. I don't know what they're trying to find fault with."
Where are the workers?
"Everyone's in the workshop, feeling really anxious. The machines have already been stopped."
Without a word, Zhuang Chaoying strode towards the workshop. "Go quickly and call Factory Director An for a meeting, the sooner the better!"
Song Xiangyang nodded quickly, turned around and ran towards the finance office, almost bumping into several workers carrying goods along the way.
Zhuang Chaoying ran into the workshop, and two minutes later, he arrived at the workshop gate, panting heavily.
Li Xiaodong, who was also Lin Gong's apprentice at the state-owned compressor factory, spotted Teacher Zhuang coming and immediately went to greet him. "Teacher Zhuang, they are in the back workshop, accompanied by the deputy factory director, but the deputy factory director's smile has frozen."
"Meeting! Call everyone to a meeting! Everyone come to the courtyard! Quickly, get several people to spread the word, make sure no one is left out!"
After agreeing, Li Xiaodong started shouting at the top of his lungs, "Come to the yard for a meeting! The meeting is starting! Don't dawdle, hurry up!"
He shouted as he moved between the machines and the workers, patting the shoulders of the workers wiping the machines.
The workers were all complaining in their hearts.
Stopping production now would be a waste of money. If we had continued production normally from this morning until now, how many electric kettles could we have made? That would have been pure profit!
Soon, when Director An heard from Xiang Yang that Teacher Zhuang had arrived, he was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, his heart about to explode.
Lin Gong went back to his hometown, and there was one less person who could help him with ideas. Just when he felt isolated and helpless, Teacher Zhuang came. Suddenly, he felt his back straighten up and he had a pillar of support.
"Teacher Zhuang, let me briefly explain this matter to you." Director An pulled Zhuang Chaoying aside, his brows furrowed.
"The state-owned compressor factory is currently operating at a loss, and Vice Mayor Zhao wants us to outsource the production of electric kettles to the compressor factory. But the price they quoted, after cost accounting, isn't lower than if we produced them ourselves. Isn't this just a waste of time and energy? It's like they're just wasting their time!"
