Chapter 30: Suicide
At work on Tuesday, Tao Tang saw that the questionnaire he had arranged was already on the table, asked Li Zhibin, and replied that it was just sent by the deputy secretary of the permanent committee.
The questionnaire included 20 questions, covering five aspects: company development, operation, scientific research, salary and property. Tao Tang thought quietly for a while after reading it, and began to summarize and delete it into 11 questions, and added two more questions about marketing. Then I went to Chang Wenhai's office.
"Deputy Secretary Chang, I read the questionnaire, and it's basically okay, slightly modified. You go and ask for the opinions of Secretary Zhao and Chairman Guo. If you can, send a notice. ”
Chang Wenhai read the revised questionnaire, "Mr. Tao revised it well." I'll do it right away. I would like to open a branch secretary meeting to arrange it so as not to deviate. ”
"It's fine." Tao Tang sat down on the chair opposite Chang Wenhai's desk, "Old Chang, what year did you enter the factory?" ”
"87 years, 26 years."
"I don't know your accent is local."
"No, my hometown is in Jiangnan Province. After graduation, he was assigned a red star, and he didn't want to move after he got married. Now I'm a Hiraizumi person. Mr. Tao, you are a child of our factory, do you feel that the factory has changed a lot when you come back this time? ”
"Big, the change is all-encompassing, especially in terms of equipment. When I was a child, I went to deliver food to my father, who worked overtime, and he was a caster, and the working environment was extremely poor, but now it is much better. Tao Tang waved his hand and rejected the cigarette roll handed by Chang Wenhai, "It's hard to quit, I don't want to quit." Chang, just thinking about the topic of the questionnaire, I want to ask you, what do you think are the biggest problems in our factory at the moment? ”
"Mr. Tao, this is testing me." Chang Wenhai put the cigarette on the desk calendar, "I think the first thing is to eliminate the bad influence of Song Yue and Yang Wenhuan." Now there is a lot of discussion below, and it seems that the team is all rotten...... Very bad for work. Second, the wages are too low. Oh, and I'm referring to the general staff. Not being able to keep people is a big problem. ”
"Hmm. So, how to eliminate the negative effects of Song Yang? ”
"I can't say that......"
"As for me, I would like to combine the questionnaire survey and hold several symposiums after May Day, including retirees. I haven't discussed this with Secretary Zhao yet, what do you think? ”
"Absolutely." Chang Wenhai thought to himself, you are the chairman and general manager, how can you think about the affairs of the party and the masses?
"In addition, mass cultural and sports activities should be grasped. Now is the good season, so that the spare time life of employees is enriched. In the past, Red Star's basketball level was very high, and at that time, Red Star's team could represent the highest level of Hiraizumi, but now I don't know how. ”
The more you talk about it, is this something you should be concerned about? But Chang Wenhai couldn't reveal his true thoughts, "Every year, the trade union has a plan for cultural and sports activities, I'll ask them to report it to you." Speaking of basketball just now, you are right, the basketball team was really strong when I came to the factory, but now it is not good. ”
"Lao Chang, I have always been engaged in administration, and I have basically never done party and mass work. But I never dare to underestimate the power of the work of the party and the masses, this is soft power, especially for a big factory like us. You can rest assured, I absolutely support the work of the group, and it doesn't cost much. ”
"With your words, my job will be easy to do."
"Okay, I won't bother you." Tao Tang got up and left.
Back in the office, Li Zhibin reported, "I just received a call from the Sixth Branch, and one of their employees committed suicide. ”
"Suicide? What's going on? Tao Tang was taken aback.
"I don't know."
"You go find out, now."
After Li Zhibin left, Tao Tang was a little depressed. Suicide is not the company's responsibility, but it is extremely uncomfortable, and the speed of reviewing documents is much slower, and some are absent-minded. Chang Wenhai did not mention this matter just now, which means that the branch did not report to Chang Wenhai, who is in charge of mass work, at the first time. He wanted to say something to Chang Wenhai, picked up the phone and put it down again.
After he finished reviewing all the documents in the two folders, Li Zhibin came back, Tao Tang looked at the time, and it was a quarter past nine.
"What's the situation?"
"The deceased's name is Wang Luochuan, a turner of the Sixth Branch, and he is 29 years old this year. Last night, in the rented house, he sealed the doors and windows with duct tape, committed suicide with gas, and left a suicide note. Now several leaders of the branch have rushed over. ”
"Do you know why?"
"I read the suicide note, and I also listened to Secretary Gao, oh, it was Gao Jiming, the branch secretary of the Sixth Branch, who introduced Wang Luochuan's situation, it should be that it was too difficult at home, and the object was blown again, and I couldn't think of ......it."
"What's the hard way? Got it clear? ”
"His parents are in the countryside, he graduated from a technical school and recruited, his mother is paralyzed and can't take care of himself, his father has some mental problems, he has a younger brother, he is still polio, and he basically has no ability to work......
"Understood. Let's go, take me to his house. ”
"Do you want a car?"
"What kind of car do you want!" Tao Tang's voice was muffled. Li Zhibin originally wanted to ask if he wanted to notify the directors and other leaders, but seeing Tao Tang's gloomy face, he didn't dare to mention it.
The two of them rode bicycles to the No. 2 courtyard, and a large number of people had gathered at the door of the deceased.
"The security department has checked it, and it has basically been determined that it is a suicide...... It's already reported at 110...... The police should be there right away. Zhu Yu reported.
Tao Tang grimaced, did not say a word, and walked into the house where the deceased lived from the crowd that had escaped. A sheet covered the deceased, and he stepped forward to lift the sheet to look at it and cover it again. Then he took a few glances at the most rudimentary furnishings in the house, and went out of the house.
"Does his family know?"
"No ...... notified"
"After determining the cause of death, you, as his direct supervisor, will personally go to his house."
"Yes." Zhu Yu and Gao Jiming agreed in unison.
"Did he have any signs of anything unusual before?"
"No ......"
"Didn't find it or didn't find it?" Tao Tang raised his voice.
"Didn't find ......"
"Where's the suicide note?"
A worker-like figure handed over a piece of paper.
"You are?"
"Mr. Tao, I am the chairman of the branch, Qin Special Period......"
Tao Tang read the suicide note, and his face became more and more gloomy, "He was forced to death by difficulties." I have a responsibility, and yours have a greater responsibility! ”
Zhu Yu and Gao Jiming lowered their heads.
Chang Wenhai, Zhou Bing and Zhang Xingwu arrived, and Tao Tang said to Chang Wenhai and Zhou Bing, "This is a painful lesson. Handle the aftermath properly, and you will be responsible for the deputy secretary of the permanent committee. I'll go back first. After that, he turned around and left.
Tao Youdao and his girlfriend Wang Xiaojuan were at the scene, and the people who came to the scene were basically people from the Sixth Branch, because the deceased had no relatives in the factory, and the people who came to help deal with the aftermath were colleagues. Tao Youdao saw the second uncle coming in a hurry and left in a hurry, the second uncle definitely didn't see him, and even if he did, he probably wouldn't pay attention to himself.
"That's Mr. Tao?" Colleagues were whispering.
Wang Xiaojuan came to accompany Tao Youdao, she didn't dare to enter the house, and she didn't let her boyfriend in. It was also the first time she saw Tao Tang, and after Tao Tang left, she whispered to her boyfriend, "Your second uncle is so majestic." ”
"Not your second uncle?"
"you. Just now I heard him reprimanding Secretary Gao and Director Zhu, you see how ugly their faces are......" Wang Xiaojuan pointed at Zhu Yu and Gao Jiming.
Tao Youdao is thinking about his dead colleague. He knew Wang Luochuan and drank together, but they were not friends. Zhu Yu asked the cadres to help, and he came. It was a taciturn young man who worked all day...... Tao Youdao also just knew about Wang Luochuan's family situation, it was miserable enough, and whoever he put on it would be Alexander...... It's reasonable that my girlfriend doesn't want to get along with other people......
The siren sounded, a police car stopped in the open space at the head of the row, three policemen came over accompanied by people from the security department, Wang Xiaojuan dragged her boyfriend and gave way to the police.
Tao Youdao suddenly felt a panic in his chest, "Let's go, I'm afraid we won't be able to help." ”
In the afternoon, the regular production administrative meeting was held in the large conference room on the second floor of Building 2. Ma Guangming, who presided over the meeting, had just announced the opening of the meeting, and when he saw Tao Tang pushing the door in, "Mr. Tao......" Ma Guangming stood up.
"I'll start with a few words." Tao Tang sat down beside Ma Guangming, "Comrades, let me take this occasion to say a few words." This morning, a young worker of the No. 6 branch factory unfortunately passed away, and everyone should have heard about it. I don't know what the mood of all of you is, I'm sad, I blame myself, and I'm angry. ”
Tao Tang looked around at the congregation, "People are humble individuals, and everyone has only one life. A twenty-nine-year-old young man would never have embarked on this dead end if he had not been cornered. I had a preliminary understanding of the situation, and before that, the party and government of the No. 6 branch factory did not know the pressure on this young worker, they did not do any work, did not talk to him, and did not show any concern to him. There is no branch, and there is no workshop. The company's labor union, human resources department and other units do not. I think if the organization had reached out sooner, he might not have gone to the end of his life. Speaking of this, Tao Tang slapped the table heavily and stood up, "We are a state-owned enterprise!" We have a perfect organizational structure, and we have always been cheeky to say that employees are the masters of the enterprise! I'm ashamed that something like this happened. As the general manager, I am deeply ashamed! I punished myself, I didn't want this month's salary, and donated it all to Comrade Wang Luochuan's family. But I want to ask, what kind of responsibilities do the leaders at all levels of the company, each organization, have? When Comrade Wang Luochuan was in urgent need of help and care, where were you? ”
The atmosphere became solemn.
Some people say that it was the arrears of wages that forced Wang Luochuan to death. After I came, the Human Resources Department, Vice President Liu Xiuyun, and other leaders did suggest that the arrears of wages be paid as soon as possible, but I did not agree. Why didn't you agree, I will explain it to you on an appropriate occasion. Now I have changed my mind, the arrears of wages will be repaid as soon as possible, Mr. Han has gone to the headquarters to ask for the account, I just talked to Mr. Han on the phone, at the latest next week, the salary will definitely be paid. Is the Human Resources Department and the Development and Planning Department coming? ”
"Here we are." Lu Qi and Pan Chenggui stood up at the same time.
"Immediately do all the work of making up the arrears of wages, and as soon as the money arrives, it will be paid immediately, according to the amount you originally calculated."
"Yes."
"Now I order you to go back and sort out the difficult workers in your respective units, find out the situation for me, and according to our current conditions, take out your conscience and find ways to help them, so that they can truly understand the difference between state-owned enterprises and private enterprises. Can it be done? ”
"Yes." There was an uneven sound from the venue.
"Ask again, can you?" Tao Tang raised his voice.
"Yes!" This time it's neat, and it's much louder.
"Okay, that's all I have to say, and I won't delay your meeting." Tao Tang turned around and left.
Lu Qi watched Tao Tang's figure disappear, and his heart was full of mixed tastes, and he was bitter. She attended the meeting on behalf of Liu Xinjun, and stipulated that the executive meeting should be attended by the chief administrative officer, but the content of this meeting generally has little to do with the Ministry of Development and Regulation, so Liu Xinjun always asked his deputy to attend the meeting on his behalf.
