Li Deya and Liu Kai Xuan are now locked in a bitter rivalry!
Moreover, Li Deya had publicly declared over the loudspeaker at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill that he would fire Liu Kai Xuan.
What if he failed to complete the task in three days and was forced by Yang Zheng to return and apologize to Liu Kai Xuan?
That would be an unimaginable and terrifying situation.
Li Deya, this fellow, climbed his way up through flattery.
His greatest skill was showing off and deceiving his superiors while bullying his subordinates.
In terms of capability, he could only be described as very "mediocre."
His mind was now entirely occupied with maintaining his authority, and the development of the enterprise had long since been cast aside.
In this era, highly skilled technical personnel were extremely scarce.
Senior master craftsmen with advanced technician certificates were few and far between, usually only one or two per factory.
Master craftsmen with certificates were highly sought-after talents by enterprises.
To recruit an advanced technician for the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, Li Deya had to poach from other factories.
After spending a day, Li Deya privately contacted three advanced technicians.
Li Deya offered high salaries, hoping to lure them over.
However, without exception, all three invited technicians refused Li Deya's overtures.
It wasn't that these three advanced technicians disliked money; the key issue was that it was too difficult to resign.
An advanced technician's position was equivalent to that of the factory's chief technician.
The resignation of a chief technician was a significant matter for a heavy industry enterprise.
Resigning employees were required to provide detailed reasons for their resignation.
Generally, resignations were only successful in two situations.
The first situation was when the advanced technician had health problems and could no longer work.
The second situation was when they received an assignment from higher authorities, delegating more important tasks to the technician.
Conversely, it was impossible for a healthy and normally functioning technician to resign.
The principle was that the factory was responsible for its workers, and workers were also responsible for the factory.
If the chief technician left, the technical department would be paralyzed.
If the technical department was paralyzed, the entire factory would quickly fall into a state of paralysis, which was absolutely not a joke.
Li Deya toiled all day, all to no avail!
That afternoon, Zhao Feiyan and Jiang Aiying came to Liu Kai Xuan's home.
"Feiyan, why have you come!"
Seeing Zhao Feiyan arrive, Liu Kai Xuan hurriedly put down the documents in his hands and went to the door to invite them in.
Zhao Feiyan replied, "Kai Xuan Ge, I originally planned to visit you yesterday!"
"My mother said you might be feeling unstable and told me not to bother you!"
"Don't be too anxious, I believe you can get through this difficult period!"
"Heh..."
Liu Kai Xuan shook his head and smiled, "Do I look anxious right now?"
"Of course not!"
Zhao Feiyan said cheerfully, "Kai Xuan Ge, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll cook for you!"
Zhao Feiyan's visit at this time genuinely touched Liu Kai Xuan.
It seemed this girl was much more decent than Liu Yuqian, that snobbish one.
In the afternoon, Liu Kai Xuan took a fish and a large white goose from his farm space and placed them in the kitchen. These were the ingredients for tonight's meal!
Jiang Aiying came into the kitchen and, seeing the fish and meat, couldn't help but grin.
"Kai Xuan, I really must say a few words to you!"
"Even though your salary is high now, you still need to live frugally!"
"If you two want to have a good life in the future, you can't do without some savings!"
"Hahahaha..."
Liu Kai Xuan nodded repeatedly and replied, "Aunt Jiang is right, I'll be mindful of that in the future!"
Actually, Liu Kai Xuan wanted to say: My dear mother-in-law, the supplies in my farm space are already overflowing!
Money is a good thing, but in this era, money is not everything.
Firstly, to purchase supplies in the market, you need not only money but also ration coupons.
Secondly, in this era, it is essential to maintain a low profile.
If you suddenly flaunt tens of thousands of yuan and cannot explain the source of the money, you could be thrown in jail in an instant.
Using the farm to make money madly is meaningless!
However, it is still very necessary to use the farm's produce to improve one's living standards.
...
The next morning, Yang Zheng had his secretary come to the workshop to find Zhao Tianhai.
Zhao Tianhai followed Secretary Chen to Yang Zheng's office and hastily said with a smile, "Director Yang, I hope you can continue to take care of Kai Xuan's matters!"
"As you know, young people are impetuous and easily angered, making them difficult to control!"
"But he is now showing signs of regret, so please give him another chance, Director Yang!"
Yang Zheng nodded and replied, "Old Zhao, I am aware of the situation you've reported!"
"It's really not a big deal. I've almost mediated the conflict between Liu Kai Xuan and Li Deya!"
"I had originally planned to go personally and invite Kai Xuan back!"
"But I just received notification from my superiors about other matters to attend to!"
"So I'll trouble you to go and inform Liu Kai Xuan to return to work!"
"The factory cannot approve his resignation report for the time being, but I will arrange for Li Deya to apologize to Kai Xuan at an appropriate time!"
"Ah..." Zhao Tianhai was so shocked he almost dropped his jaw.
"Alright, Director, I'll go and call Kai Xuan back immediately!"
Matters concerning the leadership were not for him, an ordinary worker, to question.
Zhao Tianhai had worked at the factory for many years and had this basic understanding.
Now, it seemed Yang Zheng was siding with Liu Kai Xuan in the struggle between Li Deya and Liu Kai Xuan.
Li Deya was now, essentially, completely neutralized.
Yesterday, he had personally tried to poach three advanced technicians, and all had been rejected.
This made Li Deya clearly realize that finding an experienced advanced technician to work at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill was far more complicated than he had imagined.
His reckless decision to fire Liu Kai Xuan would severely impact the normal production order of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.
This was something Yang Zheng could not tolerate.
Therefore, Yang Zheng wanted to invite Liu Kai Xuan back, and Li Deya dared not raise any objections.
Zhao Tianhai, having been commissioned by Yang Zheng, excitedly ran to the siheyuan to inform Liu Kai Xuan to return to work.
However, Liu Kai Xuan's side gave him the cold shoulder.
The door was locked, and no one was inside!
