A 30 light pickup truck drove into the factory area of the maintenance workshop, and a large cardboard box was unloaded from the small truck, and several car repair masters immediately stopped to watch.

"Isn't this the batch of gaskets and rubber rings from the Red Star Rubber Factory?"

"The quality is unqualified, and I said that I wanted to return it, why did I pull it back?"

"I asked, and I heard that the procurement department didn't give us a refund. ”

"Why! They bought it at the beginning, but now the quality is not up to standard, why don't they give it back!"

"Not only will they not be refunded, but I have heard that these unqualified parts and components will also be counted in the expenses of our workshop. ”

"Counting the expenses of the workshop?

Although state-owned enterprises in the 80s ate a big pot of rice, this big pot of rice often refers to the basic salary, and the bonus is still independently calculated. Especially for state-owned enterprises with good efficiency, bonuses should occupy a large part of income.

At that time, many people would rather go to enterprises than become civil servants, because under the state-run system, workers and civil servants are guaranteed income during droughts and floods, but enterprise workers receive more bonuses than civil servants.

If you are a worker in a well-paid state-owned enterprise, you will not be replaced by a section-level cadre who is a civil servant!

It is also because of the calculation of bonuses that enterprises are becoming more and more refined in their cost control.

For example, in the repair workshop where Li Weidong is located, when repairing the car, the old parts can be replaced, and the new parts are definitely not replaced, in order to save a workshop expenditure when accounting, and the saved expenditure becomes a bonus for the repair workshop, and every regular worker has a share.

Now the batch of substandard parts of the Red Star Rubber Factory is used as the expense of the repair workshop, and the most direct result is that the workers in the repair workshop have to be deducted a part of the bonus to offset this expenditure.

At this time, someone suddenly said: "I heard that Wang Haibin, the director of the procurement department, was in the way, so the procurement department did not return these parts to us." ”

"Wang Haibin, why did he do this, when did we sin against him?" someone asked.

The man who spoke just now leaned forward, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "I also listened to the grapevine, Wang Haibin's son Wang Lei is not working as a temporary worker in our workshop, Wang Haibin wants to give his son a regular job, but the number of places to become regular is only a few a year, which is too limited, so Wang Haibin is eyeing this year's advanced workshop." ”

A person next to him nodded suddenly: "If Wang Lei can take a workshop to be advanced, the chance of becoming a regular is really big." ”

"Isn't the advanced of our workshop already given to Li Weidong this year?" someone asked again.

"The key is here, Wang Haibin wants Li Weidong to give the workshop to his son Wang Lei, Li Weidong is definitely unwilling, so he refuses Wang Haibin. ”

"It's my words, I don't want to, the workshop is advanced, only one a year, why give it to others. ”

"You mean to say that Wang Haibin deliberately came to find fault because Li Weidong refused to give the workshop to his son?"

"Wang Lei is still in our workshop, Wang Haibin is not afraid of offending our workshop if he does this, and when the time comes, let's put on small shoes for his son?"

"Anyway, Wang Lei is just a temporary worker now, and he will be transferred to other departments if it's a big deal, besides, Wang Haibin is also the director of procurement, as long as Wang Lei can be turned into a regular, people don't care about offending us car repairers. ”

Everyone talked about it, and the news soon spread throughout the repair workshop.

......

A few days later, someone went to the procurement office to find out that Wang Haibin had secretly said that as long as Li Weidong was willing to give the workshop to Wang Lei, then the procurement office would go to Hongxing Rubber Factory to return the goods.

In that case, these unqualified parts will not be counted as the expenses of the auto repair shop, and the bonus of the auto repair workshop will not be deducted.

Almost overnight, the wind in the auto repair shop changed.

......

As soon as the bell rang for getting off work at noon, Li Weidong immediately rushed to the cafeteria. To eat, you have to be the first!

Sixteen-year-old Li Weidong, when he was growing his body, filled his lunch box with vegetables, took three big steamed buns, and sat at the table and devoured them.

The chef who steamed the steamed buns in the canteen is from Jiaodong, and he makes authentic Jiaodong steamed buns, and a steamed bun is about the same size as a child's head. However, people in that era generally lacked oil and water in their stomachs, and there were many people who ate three Jiaodong steamed buns in one meal.

Li Weidong was eating fragrantly, and saw a man in his forties sitting opposite Li Weidong.

Li Weidong looked up and saw that this person was a car repair master surnamed Liu in the auto repair workshop. Li Weidong called out "Master Liu", which was regarded as a greeting, and continued to eat with his head down.

However, Master Liu took the initiative to talk to Li Weidong, and all kinds of parents talked endlessly.

"I have the impression that although Master Liu is very talkative, he doesn't have so many words, as if Tang Seng reciting a mantra. Li Weidong said secretly in his heart.

Finally, Master Liu got to the point: "Xiao Li, I heard that you have had a very stiff quarrel with Director Wang of the Procurement Section recently?"

"It's not a stiffness, he wants my workshop to be advanced, I just didn't give it to him. Li Weidong said.

"It's all colleagues from the same company, and they don't see each other when they look down, why bother, how embarrassing it will be to meet in the future!" Master Liu sighed.

"What's so embarrassing, he's from the purchasing department, I'm from the auto repair workshop, our company is so big, there are thousands of people! Li Weidong said with a smile, already understanding Master Liu's intentions in his heart.

Master Liu continued: "Wang Haibin is also a middle-level leader of the company, maybe he will go to the next level in the future, you are still young, for a workshop advanced, it is not cost-effective to offend him." ”

"Can he still drive me?" Li Weidong smiled, and then said: "I am a regular employee." ”

Regular employees of state-owned enterprises cannot be dismissed even if they are in charge of a number one person, as long as they do not make a serious mistake in violation of law and discipline.

Master Liu wanted to persuade again, but Li Weidong stuffed the last mouthful of steamed buns in his hand into his mouth, then stood up and said, "Master Liu, I'm full, you eat slowly." ”

After lunch, Li Weidong returned to the auto repair workshop, found a corner with the sun, sat down leisurely, and basked in the sun.

"At this time, it would be nice to have a cup of tea!" Li Weidong said secretly in his heart.

At this moment, a voice sounded from the side: "Xiao Li, drink tea, I just made it." ”

Li Weidong looked up and saw a man walking over with an enamel tea jar. This person's surname is Wang, and he is also a car mechanic in the workshop.

"Thank you, Master Wang. Li Weidong was not polite, took the enamel tea jar, took a sip, and the sweet and bitter taste of the big leaf tea instantly occupied Li Weidong's taste buds.

Putting down the enamel tea jar, Li Weidong opened his mouth and asked, "Master Wang, you have something to do with me." ”

Master Wang smiled, pointed to the enamel tea jar, and said, "Xiao Li, what do you think of my tea jar?"

Li Weidong looked at the enamel tea jar, on which was written the slogan "Make up your mind, not be afraid of sacrifice, overcome all difficulties, and strive for victory".

Seeing these lines, Li Weidong opened his mouth and said, "This tea jar must be some years old, right?"

"When I was in '77, I took the workshop advanced, which was the reward at that time. Master Wang took a breath with some aftertaste, and then said:

"Xiao Li, although it is an honor that this workshop is advanced, it just sounds good, and in fact, it will send a tea jar, a basin and the like. But the bonus we get every month is enough to buy dozens of tea jars, don't you say? For the sake of a name, it is not worth losing so many bonuses!"

Li Weidong picked up the teacup, took another sip of tea, spit out two tea leaves, and continued to laugh without saying a word.

Master Wang then persuaded: "Xiao Li, even if you are not bad for these bonuses, you have to think about the other masters in the workshop, everyone is old and young, counting on this bonus to support your family!"

"Okay, Master Wang, I understand, what you mean, let me give the workshop to Wang Haibin's son, and then everyone will not be deducted from the bonus. Sacrifice me and enrich a workshop, right?" Li Weidong asked with a smile.

"Well...... Master Wang smiled awkwardly, and then said: "It's all for the collective, willing to contribute, regardless of personal gains and losses, and contribute to the four modernizations. ”

"When we talk about dedication and sacrifice, we should also divide it right? Comrade Lei has dedicated his whole life to the masses of the people, and this is a real selfless dedication. But what am I here, dedicating the advanced workshop to Wang Haibin's son?

Li Weidong paused, and then said: "And I think that whether Wang Haibin's son can become a regular employee or not will not affect the four modernizations of our country." ”

Master Wang was choked back by Li Weidong's words, so he had to sigh helplessly, picked up the enamel tea jar and returned to the workshop.
