There are more than 20,000 people in the second factory, and it is normal for Lu Youshan not to know the workers below, but it is normal for the workers to know him.

"Sit down, Master Cao, you sit first. Have you eaten?" Lu Youshan smiled politely.

Master Cao's family of three cautiously walked into the Lu family's living room, and did not sit down, but looked a little at a loss.

Lu Menglin glanced at Kim So-yeon, and the two got up and walked into the door, leaving the sofa position for the guests.

My mother also hurriedly cleaned up the dining table and cleaned the living room so that her husband could talk to the guests.

Lu Youshan took out a cigarette from his body and handed it to Master Cao, without the slightest shelf of the factory director.

Master Cao took the cigarette, finally calmed down, thanked him repeatedly, and finally carefully sat down next to the edge of the sofa.

"Master Cao, is there something wrong?" Lu Youshan lit a cigarette and handed over the lighter in his hand.

Master Cao was not embarrassed to smoke in the living room of the Lu family, but squeezed out a wry smile and said: "Director Lu, my wife and I are both employees of the factory, I have been working in the second factory for almost 20 years, and my wife has been working in the knitting factory for more than ten years. ”

Lu Youshan nodded sympathetically, his brows furrowed heavier than the mountains.

"Director Lu, I beg you, can you do us a favor, can we only lay off one of the two of us? The child is still young, I respond to the call of the country, marry late and have children later, and the child is still young! Both of them have been laid off, how can we live!"

As he spoke, the old worker's eyes were red, and tears were streaming down.

When he cried, his wife and children also cried.

The man didn't flick his tears, just because he didn't get to the sad place! Lu Youshan's eyes suddenly turned red, he knew too well the difficulties of these old workers.

The word laid-off is like a death sentence for ordinary workers' families.

Leaving Liufang, the place where they spent their youth, they were at a loss and didn't know how to face the unknown world outside.

The four words of going out to work may be very simple for many people in later generations, but it is too difficult for ordinary workers who have been working in front-line positions for a long time in Liufang!

If they can't find the right professional position, the experience they have gained in exchange for their youth is not of much use, and as they get older, the vast majority of them, even if they want to learn new knowledge, it is extremely difficult, not to mention that while learning, they also have to bear the difficult cost of living, how easy is it to say?

"I'm sorry!" Lu Youshan could only say these four words in a deep voice with red eyes.

"Can't you keep one? Just keep one, let's just raise the doll. Master Cao shook his head and sighed.

"I'm sorry, this is the decision of the factory, and I have no authority to change it. I didn't make the list. ”

When Lu Youshan gritted his teeth and said this, his heart was very painful, he hated that he was powerless, and hated that such a thing happened in the factory he managed.

"Please! Director Lu, we are all old workers, please help! The child is so young!" Master Cao's voice became lower and lower, and his hands were shaking all the time when he spoke.

Lu Lili wanted to blurt out and promise the other party, but he knew very well, not to mention whether he had such power, the key was not to open this opening, once this opening was opened, hundreds of workers would soon rush into Lu's house, please

Ask the factory to take back the fate, so that everyone is finished.

"I... I really can't help it. I'm sorry!" Lu Youshan turned his head and sighed.

The old mother stood in the kitchen and quietly wiped her tears, she knew her husband's difficulties, but she was more sympathetic to the old Cao family.

If it weren't for her husband becoming the factory director, if she hadn't listened to her son's advice and opened those game halls, if the bad luck of being laid off had befallen her small family, she didn't know if she would have collapsed like Lao Cao's family.

"Don't beg him! These officials, they will never care about the life or death of our workers! In the past, when Zhao Yuanchao was here, we still had food to eat! Now that he has come to power, we don't even have anything to eat!"

"He's not even as good as Zhao Yuanchao!" Master Cao's wife finally broke out and scolded.

Lu Youshan was scolded speechless, and it was difficult for him to argue, it was difficult for him to tell these grassroots workers how different cadres he and Zhao Yuanchao were, they only saw the result, that is, Lu Youshan was in power, but they were going to be laid off.

"Lao Cao! Don't tell him! None of them are good officials! I don't believe that socialism can starve people to death! I'll pick up the rags tomorrow! Let's go!"

Lao Cao's daughter-in-law broke out all of a sudden, and her voice was so loud that almost half of the building could hear her roar.

"You don't have to die!" After Lao Cao's daughter-in-law finished scolding, she pulled her husband and son and turned around and left.

Lu Youshan sat on the sofa, motionless, his face flushed, and his brain was buzzing.

Lu's mother hurriedly ran out of the kitchen, took out the tobacco, alcohol and fruits on the table, and chased them all the way.

"Master Cao, wait a minute. Lu's mother stopped Cao Mingming's family at the top of the stairs.

"Take your things back! It's not easy to make money, don't spend this unjust money!" Speaking of this, Lu's mother put the cigarette and alcohol gifts on the stairs, and then took out an envelope from her pocket and placed it on the gift box very carefully.

"It's almost the New Year, buy some food for the children. It's a little bit of caution on our part. Don't blame Lao Lu, the factory is so big, he can't help it. I'm sorry!" Lu's mother said softly.

The envelope contained 500 yuan, which was put on by Lu's mother while quietly wiping her tears in the kitchen just now, and the laid-off list was a foregone conclusion, so it was just a matter of expressing her heart.

After this incident, Lu Youshan left the house after smoking half a pack of cigarettes and went back to work in the factory.

Lu's mother was worried that the atmosphere at home was not good, so she asked Lu Menglin to take Kim So-yeon out for a walk, or go to the store to play, in short, don't stay at home.

She was obviously afraid that there would be workers to make trouble, and it would be bad for Kim So-yeon to see it.

Lu Menglin had no choice but to take Kim So-yeon to the street, naturally he wouldn't go to the game hall or anything, now there are all gambling machines in it, and it's smoky and boring.

There is nothing to visit on Liufang's street, and the two of them walked aimlessly, and before they knew it, they walked to the office building of the main factory.

Drip!

From behind the two came a shrill sound of car horns.

A white Audi slowly pulled to the side of the road, the window rolled down, revealing a baby face.

"Hey, beauty, we're meeting again! It's quite fateful!" said the man with a Hong Kong and Taiwanese accent frowning.

The last time I saw it at the gate of the game city, it was this group of outsiders.

Lu Menglin blinked, suddenly playful, stepped forward and smiled: "Yes!

It's quite fateful. Where did you come from?"

Seeing that this kid was actually willing to talk, the baby-faced young man was overjoyed, and hurriedly smiled: "I'm from Hong Kong, otherwise let's have a meal together!"

"However, we have to go in first to negotiate a business, and we will come out in a while, you can choose the place, and I will treat you, how about it?" Babyface pointed to the office building of the main factory, looking like you don't understand, I have a very high standard.

Although this baby-faced face had a smile when he spoke, his eyes kept on Jin Suyan's face, and it seemed that he didn't treat Lu Menglin as a dish at all.

I've heard that people in Hong Kong are very stupid and pay back money for dinner. A lot of my sisters who came back said that. Lu Menglin pretended to be stupid, turned his head to Jin Suyan and said.

The babyface was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself what was going on with this silly boy?

However, his purpose was to make an appointment with Jin Suyan next to him, so he smiled casually: "Of course! On our side, we will pay for dinner! I can also pay you." ”

Lu Menglin nodded and said with a smile: "Huh, that's so good! Then can I call a few more people?"

"Well, yes! I'm very hospitable. Babyface looked a little displeased, but still kept smiling in order to be able to invite the best beauty to dinner.

"Okay, wait a minute!" Lu Menglin nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Menglin turned around and beckoned to a few high school students who were hanging out next to the office building of the main factory.

Among those high school students, there happened to be a little guy who used to mix with the Menglin Army, and when he saw Brother Menglin greeting him, this kid hurriedly ran over.

"Brother Menglin, what's the matter?" said the little brother in a tiger voice.

Lu Menglin nodded and said with a smile: "Please run around and call some people on the street." This friend from other places wants to have a treat, and I'm afraid that others will not be enough. ”

As soon as the younger brother heard it, he understood what Brother Menglin meant, this is the boss of Liufang No. 1 Middle School who wants to blow the whistle and call people!

"Okay!Brother Menglin, wait a minute! I'll be back soon! A few of you are here to accompany Brother Menglin and sister-in-law!Give me some inspiration!" This little brother really deserves to have been mixed with the Menglin army since he was a child, and he is really eye-catching, not only did he go to call people, but also left a few, probably because he was afraid that Lu Menglin would suffer.

At this moment, it made Babyface a little unhappy, he didn't understand it yet, thinking that these buns of dirt buns regarded themselves as Kaizi and wanted to take advantage of the rice, so he couldn't help but turn dark.

Jin Suyan covered her mouth and snickered on the side, she probably guessed what Lu Menglin wanted to do.

Soon, human voices sounded in all directions, and the entire street, which was originally a little deserted, seemed to be lively all of a sudden.

Some people came running from the side of the road, some people came from the park, some people climbed over the fence with quick movements, and some people strolled and laughed.

The most exaggerated thing is that five tricycles came in a row, booming, staggering to the door of the office building of the main factory, the brake sound is exaggerated to death, obviously it is a three-wheeled motorcycle, and it is hard to drive out of the momentum of F1.

There were at least four or five young guys jumping off each tuk, and if nothing else, it was a serious overload!

Seeing that the young people on this street are gathering more and more, there is a tendency for rivers to flow into the sea. In the blink of an eye, I am afraid that hundreds of people gathered at the door of the office building of the main factory.

The black clouds are overwhelming the city and want to destroy it, I don't know, I thought that there were workers petitioning and marching again!
