Eight years ago, one day in late spring and early summer, the earth seemed to be covered with a cauldron lid. People feel like they're not breathing properly, as if they're entering another world where the air is thin. A storm in nature is coming.

Bai Ling, who has already done a retirement job, began to enjoy life at home. Now, she can laze in bed in the morning and stay up late at night. As long as you cook on time at noon and ensure that your husband Fang Ming has food to eat after work, everything will be fine, and such a life will be five years in a blink of an eye. And Bai Ling's mother always complained that lunch was made too early, and she never considered Fang Ming's work problem.

Bai Ling, who was about to cook lunch, suddenly heard a hurried knock on the door. She opened the door, only to see Fang Ming holding a large bag and a small bag, and broke in. If you look closely, it's all the tools he uses to go to work and something.

"What are you doing here?" Bai Ling closed the door casually while asking, and hurriedly turned around, wanting to help Fang Ming.

"I'm laid off."

At this moment, a gust of wind blew the door open, almost knocking Bai Ling to the ground. Fang Ming said something just now, but she didn't hear a word clearly.

"What did you say?" Bai Ling asked again as she closed the door.

"I'm laid off". Fang Ming replied loudly. Bai Ling didn't believe her ears.

"You've been laid off?"

"Yes, I'm laid off." As Fang Ming spoke, he put the tools and items he had brought back into the room where he was sleeping.

Fang Ming can be called a big "capable" person in the factory. His "ability" refers to the production skills that are admired by all the people around him.

Put Fang Ming in a management position. He was able to send troops to the formation, take the lead, mobilize the enthusiasm of the group, and successfully complete the work he undertook. He was able to protect the legitimate interests of his group from being violated, and he never took advantage of it himself. Therefore, the team he leads is particularly capable of fighting. It can not only do the current work well in a down-to-earth manner, but also summarize lessons and lessons in a timely manner to promote the next step. Therefore, his work is to improve every day, every month.

put Fang Ming on the front line of production as a worker. He has several induction qualifications. One person can use it for several people.

Master Zhang is an authority on welders. Master Wang is a representative of the electricians. Master Huang is the best plumber. Master Cheng is a leader of fitters...... These leaders in the production line are like the eighteen-way "princes" of the Spring and Autumn Period, jointly supporting the world of the "Great Zhou". And Fang Ming was not among any of the "princes". It was as if he had a privileged pass to join the actions of any "prince" at any time.

The factory has to produce every day, and the task of surprise repair occurs from time to time. Where the task is urgent and the manpower is small, Fang Ming will appear there. As soon as Fang Ming appeared, these leaders took the lead one by one, as if everyone had to compete with Fang Ming, compete for the top and bottom, and double the work efficiency. These technical leaders couldn't figure out how much technical energy Fang Ming contained.

In production technology, Fang Ming can be called the top of the top and the leader of the leaders, however, in the reform of the enterprise system, he was shot while lying down and was the first to be laid off.

Fang Ming's company, in terms of size, can only be regarded as a small and medium-sized enterprise, but when placed locally, it has become a large enterprise second to none. There is no cinnabar, and red clay is precious. This is because of poverty and backwardness.

Since the day it was born, there have been two forces fighting each other. One is an external force and the other is a local force. The goal is to take control of the leadership of the enterprise.

At the beginning of the establishment of the enterprise, it was the external forces that had the upper hand and controlled the leadership of the enterprise. Because from technology to personnel, foreign forces occupy an absolute advantage and control all key positions. The local forces are only a subsidiary force, and if they want to compete with them, they have more than enough to compete.

Time is a child who doesn't grow up, jumping around every day. In the face of time, people will grow old, and technology will take root, sprout, blossom, and bear fruit.

The company has entered a year of confusion, production is in order, and yesterday's story is repeated every day. The struggle for leadership is renewed every day, and there are new trends in every scene, but the methods are becoming more and more intense.

The layman only sees the production scene in full swing and hears the roar of the machine. Only connoisseurs can hear that the sound of killing behind this is no less than the battlefield where the two armies face each other.

Fang Ming is not an official, but he has the power of example and the role of a leader of the masses. Therefore, from time to time, someone talked to Fang Ming: "Fang Ming, you are a local. Our cattle factory director is a foreigner. He needs someone like you to be the backbone. I want to put you in a middle-level leadership position and take charge of your own affairs. In terms of talent, you are more than enough, but I wonder if you accept such an arrangement? ”

Fang Ming knew very well in his heart that it was no longer an investigation or a temptation, but a naked direct transaction. That's the bargain of buying and selling. Once you open your mouth and agree, not only will you be promoted, but you will be immediately hyped. If you climb on one side and pay homage to the seal, you will immediately become a live target for the other side, and you will not know what kind of attack you will receive.

"I'm really sorry, I'm not an official material. I just want to be a good worker and earn a living with my skills. ”

Although Fang Ming said it very frankly and tactfully, the person who came was obviously not satisfied with this answer.

As soon as Fang Ming sent this lobbyist away, his heart had not yet calmed down, and someone immediately came to the door.

"Fang Ming, you are a local. Our director Zhu is also a local. Director Zhu would like to hear your opinion. What kind of job position are you willing to take on. He is responsive. As the saying goes, beauty is not beautiful, hometown water, kiss or not, hometown people. We must all be fellow countrymen......

Fang Ming suddenly felt uncomfortable. Unexpectedly, a small worker, he was already under strict surveillance. Their every move is taken into their sight by the two sides of the fight, becoming the prey of the two sides fighting for each other, and becoming the offering of both sides. He is now under the close surveillance of both sides, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at him openly and secretly. I have become a live target for others, and I don't know where the person holding the gun is. The underground revolutionary workers of those days were not necessarily under such surveillance, and he felt that he was on pins and needles, and his actions had no privacy at all.

Fang Ming knew that as long as he fell into a faction, whether it was from the inside or outside, he would always be the first to be hurt. There are small hills in the factions, and there are small groups in the small hills, and there are three relatives and two close in the small groups...... These are incompatible with one's own ideology and morality.

Fang Ming is a principled person. He didn't get caught up in small circles. In his mind, everyone is a good brother. If there are differences in work, they are only a matter of perception and understanding, and they should not affect the feelings of both sides, still less should they become the basis for the confrontation and struggle between the two sides.

In the face of the struggle between the two factions, Fang Ming's heart was very firm. "One is not to the Pan family, and the other is not to the Yang family." I just want to be a free man and earn a living with my own skills. He didn't want to be a doll, and he didn't want to be a tool to be used by a few.
