In the crowd, Li Xian was using a loudspeaker to ask the workers to reinstall the part of the equipment he had just dismantled and prepare for the start of work.

Just when the workers were rejoicing, there was a burst of scolding from behind him.

When I turned around, I saw Yuan Daqing and a few people who looked like leaders, separated from the crowd and walked over under the escort of several policemen. When the workers saw Yuan Daqing who had gone and returned, they were very emotional, scolding and pouting, and spitting stars into a film.

The latter could only shrink his neck and follow behind the person who walked in front with a blue face.

Li Xian saw that the owner of the factory had returned, so he immediately put down the megaphone and went forward.

Afraid that his noisy situation would affect future cooperation, he wanted to explain to Yuan Daqing.

But before he could speak, the old man who walked in front of him spoke: "Young man, are you from the paper mill of the Forestry Bureau?"

Li Xian didn't know this person, but looking at the panache, he didn't think it was a simple character, so he nodded. I came over to talk about the OEM order, and I happened to encounter the emotional situation of the employees, and briefly explained it.

After listening, the old man patted Li Xian's shoulder.

"You've done a great job, thank you for today's events. After speaking, the old man couldn't help but look at Yuan Daqing, who was looking down at the crowd around him, and sighed.

"You are a shame as the factory director, you are not as good as an outsider to speak, I am ashamed of you!"

He really wanted to scold Yuan Daqing like this, but considering that the situation in Beilin Paper Mill was already bad and couldn't be worse, he stubbornly held back.

In the crowd, many people already recognized the old man.

"Secretary Wu!"

"Secretary Wu is here!"

"It's good that you're here, we have the backbone!"

The old man glared at Yuan Daqing fiercely, piled up some smiles, and pressed his hands in the midst of the cries around him.

"Comrades, I have learned all about your difficulties. Now that this little comrade has also brought orders, and the big guy has a job to do, I believe that the salary problem will be alleviated immediately. Now listen to me, disperse, ah!"

Wu Sitian is the secretary of the BL district, but he previously served as the secretary of the party group of Beilin Paper Mill, and he is the old leader of the paper mill, and his prestige among the workers is very high.

Yuan Daqing saw that the situation was uncontrollable just now, and his first thought was to move this rescuer.

However, this time is different.

After Wu Sitian finished speaking, everyone in the factory did not move!

"Secretary Wu, it's not us who makes trouble, we really can't survive! A few months of salary will be paid so little, our family of six people has no rice to cook!"

"Yes, Secretary Wu, I went out to collect debts for four days. When I came home, my daughter-in-law was roasting potatoes with a stove hook! I asked her where the potatoes came from, and she said...... When I was away, I couldn't open the pot at home, so I took a shovel and dug it out of the ground outside the city. The ground is frozen! You know how I feel when I look at the big potatoes on the side of the egg!"

Hearing the cries of the employees, Li Xian and Chen Shulin sighed in unison.

Although the employees of the paper mill of the Forestry Bureau did not have a good life before, the Forestry Bureau has arable land at high and low, and it is a little bitter by relying on the forest, but it is absolutely not hungry.

In contrast, Beilin City, which does not have much arable land in the surrounding area, is much worse for the workers. Today's workers rely on wages, and their families have a large population, so if their wages are not settled, it is really not foolish to say that they are cold and hungry.

Wu Sitian was speechless.

The situation that Yuan Daqing told him was obviously whitewashed, and he didn't expect things to be like this. But at the same time as he was sad, he also felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

At this moment, Li Xian's eyes rolled. coughed lightly, leaned to Wu Sitian's side, and said in a low voice: "Secretary Wu, if you are really in difficulty, I can prepay part of the foundry fee in advance." ”

Wu Sitian's eyes lit up, and he carefully took a look at the young man next to him, and praised in his heart that he would be a man.

He nodded slightly quietly, asked the employees to wait for a while, and then pulled Li Xian out of the crowd.

In the corner of the workshop, when he learned that the OEM fee for 300 tons was only nearly 20,000 yuan, the old secretary made a difficulty, "It's too little! More than 800 workers, 20,000 yuan is a drop in the bucket!"

Li Xian smiled and told the story that Sina Paper Mill did not pay wages before, but the canteen managed meals to stabilize the mood of the employees. 20,000 yuan is definitely not enough to pay wages, but if it is discounted into grain, it is still enough for more than 800 people to drag their families to chew for a while!

Hearing this, Wu Sitian slapped his face: "This is a way!"

When he returned to the workers again, Wu Sitian was much more confident. announced in public that he had asked Li Xian to pay the foundry fee in advance and solve the problem of eating in the factory first.

As soon as this decision was announced, the employees immediately cheered.

But when Wu Sitian asked everyone to disperse and go home, everyone still didn't do it. The reason is that they have completely distrusted the current factory leadership team, and they refuse to hand over the 20,000 yuan of food money to the factory leaders.

So under Wu Sitian's decision, several prestigious old workers in the factory were selected and formed a temporary trade union. For the time being, the affairs of the factory are dominated by temporary trade unions.

Guo Dongliang, who went to Li Xian to collect debts before, was pushed out by people by mistake and took charge of the matter.

Li Xian asked the workers to pack up the equipment overnight, and after the materials were brought in tomorrow to start work, he said goodbye to the workers with Chen Shulin.

Thanks to Li Xian for helping him solve a big trouble, Wu Sitian specially used his own car to send the two back to Bangye.

It was almost midnight when I returned to the Forestry Bureau.

Li Xian didn't stop, he went directly to the paper mill and explained the raw materials needed for the production of Beilin, as well as the current delivery of 10,000 yuan tomorrow.

In the evening, he and Chen Shulin were busy hitting the back of their heads in the office.

It wasn't until four o'clock that Li Xian, who had finished cooking everything, closed his eyelids fighting with each other and fell asleep on the desk.

Early the next morning, he was woken up by the sound of a stinging soo.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that I had an extra coat on my body. It was the one that hung outside the door before and wrote a note for Su Ya to wear to and from work.

When he came back last night, he saw the coat still hanging untouched outside the door, as if the little mute hadn't touched it for a few days.

But there were so many things last night that he didn't think about it.

Stretching and rubbing his arm, which was already numb to the point of losing consciousness, he rummaged through the pockets of his coat. Inside, the note was still there.

It's just that in addition to the original sentence of "thank you" and the two lines of "take it and wear it, your jacket is too thin" written when I left, there is one more sentence.

"My mom said that men are not good things, and you can't just accept their favors. I will work hard to repay you for your help to me and Su Hui!"

Seeing that line of small characters, Li Xian scratched his head with a wry smile.

He took the pencil on the table and added another line to the note.

"Give you an overcoat and you won't wear it...... Running back and forth in thin clothes on a cold day...... My mom won't let me play with fools!"
