After the meeting, Shen Huai took Qin Dawei's car and rushed to the Xinjingtian Hotel where Chen Manli held the wedding.

The road in front of the hotel was severely congested, and it was not known what was going on, and many cars were stuck at one end of the street.

In order to avoid Qin Dawei and the driver being stuck in a traffic jam on the road, Shen Huai gathered his coat and said to Qin Dawei: "The hotel is in front, I'll just walk over......;

In winter, the plane trees on both sides of the street are sparsely foliage, and the temperature is even colder after the snow stops, and the wind makes people shrink their necks, and Shen Huai walks along the sidewalk.

It was in front of the Xinjing Hotel that Shen Huai saw hundreds of workers in work clothes sitting in the middle of the road, blocking the intersection tightly, leaving a small opening on the sidewalk for people to pass through.

Shen Huai saw Cheng Yi and a few people standing on the side of the road and watching the workers in the middle of the road from a distance, seeing that her face was slightly red by the wind, thinking that she had been standing outside for a long time, wrapped in a scarf and looking anxiously at the other side of the road.

Cheng Yi was also sharp-eyed, turned his head to see Shen Huai, and stood on tiptoe to beckon him over.

Cheng Yi's actions attracted the attention of the people around her, and they all looked at Shen Huai.

These people are all about the same age as Cheng Yi, Shen Huai guessed that they should all be Cheng Yi and Chen Manli's classmates who rushed over to attend the wedding, he put his hand in his coat pocket, and walked over with a smile: "Why is the cold wind blowing outside and not sitting in the hotel?"

"Just half an hour ago, hundreds of workers from the Xu Mian Group suddenly blocked the intersection here, as if to oppose the restructuring and ask someone from the city government to stand up and speak. However, in addition to the traffic police rushing over to maintain order, no one in Xucheng City showed up," Cheng Yi told Shen Huai, "Manli's wedding car is also blocked outside and can't enter, people are dying, and I don't know when I can evacuate people......"

When Shen Huai walked here, he saw clearly that the banners pulled out by the roadside blocking workers were full of words such as "oppose restructuring" and "oppose layoffs", and when he got closer, he looked at the work clothes on them, and there were words such as "Xu Mian".

The total urban and rural population of Xucheng is about the same as that of Donghua, but the population of Xucheng urban area is more than three times that of Donghua, which is directly related to the overall size of Xucheng's state-owned enterprises that developed from the period of planned economy is three or four times that of Donghua. This is not only a high-quality resource for Xucheng's economic and industrial development, but also a huge burden in the stage of state-owned enterprise restructuring.

Relying on the industrial rise of Meixi and Xinpu, and the increasingly sufficient finances of cities and counties, Donghua has well digested the transfer of nearly 100,000 workers from state-owned enterprises in recent years, and has not exposed too serious drawbacks.

Xucheng's economic development cannot be regarded as slow, but Xucheng's burden is greater and the burden is heavier, and a large number of provincial, municipal, district, county, and township collectives must complete their restructuring and achieve the goal of reducing staff and increasing efficiency, and almost 500,000 or 600,000 workers need to change jobs and make a living on their own.

The restructuring of state-owned enterprises in Xucheng City has gradually accelerated after the arrival of Tian Jiageng and Xu Pei, but it is only a pilot project in the early stage and has not yet been fully launched.

At present, there are almost 100,000 rural laborers in the surrounding cities pouring into Xucheng every year to find job opportunities, and there are 20,000 or 30,000 new jobs for college students in colleges and universities in Xucheng every year, even if the reform of state-owned enterprises in Xucheng City has not yet been fully launched, and even if the development speed of Xucheng City cannot be regarded as slow, Xucheng City has accumulated nearly 70,000 or 80,000 laid-off workers who need to be reemployed.

Zhong Limin's transfer of Xiong Wenbin to Xucheng to serve as executive vice mayor has put a heavy burden on his shoulders; during Xiong Wenbin's tenure, the restructuring of state-owned enterprises in Xucheng City must be carried out in an all-round way, and it is absolutely not an easy job to solve the problem of laid-off and reemployment of 500,000 or 600,000 state-owned enterprise workers.

Looking at hundreds of Xu Mian's workers blocking the intersection tightly, Shen Huai estimated that this problem would not be solved for a while and a half, and just wanted Cheng Yi to call Chen Manli, so that the traffic over there would not be expected to be evacuated soon, at this time, the pretty girl with short hair and a red down jacket standing on Cheng Yi's left turned sideways to say hello: "You are Shen Huai, we have been waiting for you for an afternoon, you are really waiting for a long time to come out!" Although it was a greeting, the short-haired girl looked at her with both curiosity and some contemptuous provocation.

These classmates came here today and yesterday one after another, and after arriving in Xucheng, it was naturally Chen Manli who arranged accommodation. Cheng Yi's relationship with college classmates is not very close, and she accompanied Cheng Yi to Xiong Wenbin's house for dinner yesterday, and she didn't entertain these classmates until the afternoon.

Shen Huai knew that Chen Manli would not say anything good about herself to her and Cheng Yi's classmates, and she was also mentally prepared for such a look, and said with a smile: "Cheng Yi said that there are many beautiful women in their class, especially their dormitory, known as the eight golden flowers of the Caiyuan, and they praise you like flowers, which makes people feel greedy when they listen to it." You've only been waiting for me for an afternoon, and I've been looking forward to it for years, and today is the time to see you. Cheng Yi, you come to introduce, introduce ......"

"Young poor mouth...... Cheng Yi glanced at Shen Huai and put on a coquettish look.

She knew that Chen Manli had always had a deep prejudice against Shen Huai, and Chen Manli's connection with other classmates was much closer than hers, so it would naturally spread this prejudice among her college classmates.

She also dragged on until last night, she told Shen Huai about Chen Manli's invitation to drink, she didn't want to attend Chen Manli's wedding alone, and she was worried that Shen Huai would meet her classmates, and she would feel unhappy when she felt this prejudice, but she didn't expect Shen Huai to run up and smile, there was no normal shape at all, which made her cry and laugh.

"She is Zhang Zi," Cheng Yi introduced the short-haired pretty girl and her classmates to Shen Huai, "When I was in college, Zhang Li slept in my lower bunk for four years; Chen Lijuan and Cai Lan are also my roommates with Chen Manli, these two are Chen Lijuan and Cai Lan's husband Zhou Wenjun and Wang Hui, they are both our college seniors. There are also two girls in our dormitory, who used to be bridesmaids for Chen Manli, and you can see them later. Those two girls, their mouths are even more powerful than Zhang Zi, if you are poor, you will suffer ...... later"

Shen Huai shook hands with Cheng Yi's two husbands.

Both are about the same age, both in their thirties.

Wang Hui is honest and shy, doesn't talk much, and doesn't speak loudly.

Zhou Wenjun was more outgoing and more flamboyant, and smiled with Shen Huai when shaking hands:

"Back then, there were a lot of boys in our school who were eyeing Cheng Yi. It's just that Cheng Yi studied early, and she was less than seventeen years old when she was in the Finance Academy, and she looked like a little girl, so many people were not embarrassed to start. Everyone now knows that Cheng Yi is in love and about to get married, and when Chen Manli gets married, many people rushed over, all of them came to see what you look like. ”

Shen Huai laughed, thinking that he really had to be honest today, otherwise it would be easy to become the target of the public.

Seeing that Cheng Yi and the others were still looking east, Shen Huai said to her: "It is estimated that this traffic will not be cleared for a while and a half, and it is impossible for the city to take measures." Whoever goes over and tells Chen Manli, don't pay too much attention to taking the wedding car at this time, let's walk over. ”

Hundreds of workers in Xu Mian blocked the intersection and asked the leaders of the municipal government to stand up and talk, but Shen Huai didn't think that anyone would stand up, and in the end, most of the senior executives of Xu Mian Group would come out to persuade them. It's hard to say when these emotional workers will be persuaded to go back.

Zhang Zi obviously didn't mean to spare Shen Huai, and when he heard Shen Huai's words, he asked him sharply: "Workers want to have something to eat, and they don't want to dedicate half their lives to the country and the enterprise, and they are kicked out as a burden when they have nothing." They blocked the road, just hoping that a leader in the city could stand up and give them an explanation. More than half an hour has passed, and the traffic is also jammed like this, except for a few traffic policemen, but not a single well-dressed official who usually appears on TV. I heard Chen Manli say that you are also a leader, and you look like you are serving the people. Either you go and talk to the workers, or you can play with your prestige and drive the workers away. ”

"I'm just a little bureaucrat hated by the people, who kind of leader is I?" Shen Huai said with a smile, "If I listen to your flickering and walk over, and I will be beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, who will be responsible?"

Shen Huai looked like kraft candy and was not excited, and Zhang Zi had nothing to do.

Both sides were jammed with people and cars, and the phone couldn't get through, I didn't know who Chen Manli was talking to at the other end of the road, so Zhang Zi and they instructed the honest and honest Wang Hui to go over to find Chen Manli, and they didn't stand on the side of the road to blow the cold wind, so they went back to the lobby of the hotel to sit and wait.

Chen Manli didn't come over, and after waiting for a while, no high-level executives of Xu Mian Group appeared, and Shen Huai was bored when he sat down, so he called Xiong Wenbin to talk about blocking the road.

Xiong Wenbin has not officially come to work in Xucheng, but he has investigated various problems in Xucheng and told Shen Huai some of Xu Mian's situation.

As one of the largest state-owned enterprises in Xucheng City, Xumian Group has more than 15,000 retired employees.

Although the development of the cotton textile industry in the coastal areas is relatively good, it is precisely because the small and medium-sized cotton spinning enterprises in the coastal areas have sprung up, and the market competitiveness of the Xu Mian Group, which is rigid and bureaucratic, is poor, and the operation is becoming more and more difficult year by year.

After Xu Pei arrived in Xucheng, he has been promoting the restructuring of Xu Mian, and it is only recently that he has negotiated an agreement with Hong Kong Zhonghui Group, and Zhonghui Group will take over the controlling stake and management rights, and Xucheng City will only retain part of the equity, but Zhongce Group only promised to pull out 4,000 employees after the restructuring to retain, which is almost nearly 10,000 employees will be laid off.

As a textile enterprise, Xu Mian has relatively poor skills of laid-off workers, which has a serious impact and re-impact, and the prominent contradictions are more acute.

Today, in addition to more than 100 Xumian workers on the street to pull banners to oppose restructuring and layoffs, there are also more than 2,000 workers gathered in the factory area of Xumian Group, and stopped the group's senior management in time, but they failed to come out of the factory, and the road from the factory to the city was also temporarily blocked by additional police forces, otherwise the traffic in Xucheng City may be paralyzed today.

Xiapu also encountered similar problems, and Shen Huai was almost unable to get out of the shipyard back then, but it is obvious that the problems of Xumian Group and even the entire Xucheng City are more serious and acute.

It's no wonder that Xu Pei gave in this time.

The restructuring of state-owned enterprises is an important task promoted by Premier Wang Yuan, and it is extremely arduous for Xucheng City to comprehensively solve the problem of inefficient operation of state-owned enterprises in the next five years.

Even if Xu Pei does not serve as the secretary of the Xu Pei Municipal Party Committee for two years, Xu Cheng's problem cannot be solved well, and it is still the shit that has not been wiped clean on his buttocks, not to mention that Zhong Limin and Zhao Qiuhua can still use this matter to pressure him.

"Old Xiong, the burden on your shoulders is not light," Shen Huai had learned about Xu Mian's situation, and could only comfort Xiong Wenbin like this, "Xu Cheng can't stop in the past two years." ”
