Chapter 69

In the past month or so, the person in charge of the whole plant has organized several accident analysis meetings, but has never found the cause of the fire.

For several days in a row, he inspected the scene of the fire that had occurred, and found that the high-voltage line was only a few meters away from the oil tank in a straight line, and it was not easy to generate sparks and cause fires.

Fang Wei carefully observed the surrounding environment, saw a lot of steam coming out of the drainage channel, he thought it was a steam pipe leakage, walked over and squatted down to take a look, it turned out to be a steam drain valve, due to excessive pressure, causing a large amount of steam leakage.

He was shocked, realized the existence of the problem, and hurriedly walked to the raw material storage tank, the temperature gauge showed more than 18 degrees, and immediately understood the cause of the accident.

People who work in chemical plants know that the raw oil is easy to solidify at low temperature, and the fluidity is extremely poor, in order to increase the fluidity, it is necessary to heat through the serpentine pipeline and high temperature saturated steam, if the temperature is too high, the raw oil is very easy, volatilize a lot of combustible substances, condense and block the outlet of the oil tank, and it is also possible to float elsewhere, once it reaches a certain concentration, if it encounters an open flame, it is easy to explode or fire.

Fang Wei climbed to the top of the oil tank and saw that the filling mouth was condensed, white crystals like snowflakes, and a large amount of volatiles floated into the air.

He quickly came down from above, immediately found the workshop director, and said; "Who told you to heat up the oil so high? Why are you violating operating procedures? ”

The workshop director said; "Recently, for some reason, the temperature of raw materials is too low, and the production oil is not available, and I can't help it, I asked the deputy factory director, and after his consent, I did this."

Fang Wei said; "Whatever the reason, you can't violate the operating procedures and raise the oil temperature without authorization, who is responsible for this?"

The workshop director knew that he was wrong, and he didn't make any excuses, so he was reprimanded by Fang Wei and criticized endlessly, he really couldn't stand it, and said back; "You said that I violated the operating procedures, which is true, but I have consulted the leader, and the responsibility should not be borne by me alone."

Fang Wei stared at him with both eyes, eased his tone slightly, and said; "My criticism of you is a bit too harsh, but you have violated the operating procedures, you have to bear this responsibility, immediately go write an inspection, tomorrow morning, at the pre-class meeting to do a review, and then hand over the inspection to me, let it be handled."

Although the workshop director was a little unconvinced, he still accepted it and said; "Fang Gong, I accept your criticism, I will go to write a check, and early tomorrow morning, I will do self-criticism at the pre-class meeting."

Fang Wei found Manager Zhang and said; "The cause of the accident has basically been clarified, it is caused by the workers' violation of operating procedures, the oil temperature is too high, and the volatiles produced.

Manager Zhang thought about it for a moment and said; "Fang Gong, the workshop director has already admitted his mistake, what do you say about this matter, I mean, it's better to put this matter first, and then talk about it, what do you think?"

Fang Wei understood the meaning of Manager Zhang's words, this was to protect the responsible person, and he was angry, but he had no choice but to endure it, so it was not good to say anything.

This afternoon, after Fang Wei got off work, he drove just out of the factory gate, and was recruited by him from his hometown, a fellow beckoned to him, he parked the car on the side of the road, and the fellow sat in the car, he asked; "I haven't seen you in a long time, what have you been busy with lately?"

The fellow said; "I'm not busy, I'm so idle, I'm wandering around, I've finished shopping in Nanling, and there's nothing fun to go to, except for going to work, just sleeping."

Fang Wei said; "You are quite idle, you can think openly, you are full of food alone, and the whole family is not hungry."

The fellow smiled and said; "You're right, we outsiders, we have no relatives, no friends, and no place to go here, so we are idle, what can you do?"

Fang Wei said; "Are you looking for something wrong with me? We are all fellow countrymen, if you have something to say, just say it, don't turn around the bush again. ”

The fellow looked at him, hesitated, and said; "Recently, a lot of strange things have happened in our factory, the workers are spreading everywhere, the last fire accident, it was your responsibility, they said so surely, I feel that there is a problem here, it seems that someone is behind it, instructing them to do this, or maybe I think too much, or someone is making trouble behind it, believe it or not."

Fang Wei said; "Don't believe those gossips, it may be those people who have nothing to do, chasing after the wind and shadows, talking nonsense, just don't listen to them."

The fellow said; "I know what happened to us, I probably haven't heard of it, have you?"

Fang Wei asked; "What happened to you? Tell me about it. ”

The fellow sighed and said; "After the accident of my brother and sister, you rarely come to the factory, so, you don't know a lot of things, several of us are brought by you, from your hometown, the locals think we are a gang, rejected by them, we endured it for a long time, I have to tell you today."

Fang Wei was shocked and said; "Tell me clearly, what the hell is going on? Who's in trouble with you? ”

The fellow said; "Then who else, is the deputy factory director who is on your team, he behaves very well in front of you, in fact, he is all pretending, his stomach is bad, it is simply bad, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him with sores on his head and pus under his feet."

Fang Wei was shocked when he heard the fellow make such a poor evaluation of his deputy, he looked out the car window, was silent for a while, and said in disbelief; "Are you telling the truth, or is it false? If he pretended, he wouldn't have pretended to be so similar, let alone pretended for so long, he worked with me, and didn't let me notice it in the slightest, if this was the case, then this person was too deep in the city, and it was quite dangerous. I just can't figure it out, I don't have a place to be sorry for him, why is he doing this, hollowing out his mind to deal with me, besides, he can deal with me alone, why can't he get along with you? ”

The fellow said; "You ask me, I ask who to go, and I can't figure out why he did it, is there any purpose? Drove us away together, and he was at ease. ”

Fang Wei thought for a while and said; "Let's talk today, don't tell anyone, let me think about it, observe him for a while, and see what methods are used to deal with this kind of villain who is bad behind his back, you go and tell us a few fellows, and you must pay more attention to your work to prevent people from grabbing your pigtails."

The fellow said; "That deputy factory director, his heart is not right, a villain like him is really disgusting, you still have to pay more attention, as the saying goes; Anti-villain, not anti-gentleman. ”

Time passed like this, Fang Wei as usual, all his thoughts were on work, on the surface, Fang was calm, and the deputy factory director secretly competed with him, no one expected that soon, there would be a bigger accident.

Fang Wei goes to work every day, a few miles away from the factory, habitually stops the car, looks at the high chimney in the factory, whether there is smoke, if there is no white smoke, this is a signal to stop production.

This morning, he drove to work, almost to the place where he was going to park, saw that the chimney in the factory was not smoking, he did not think twice, stepped on the accelerator, and drove quickly towards the factory, he drove directly to the factory, and the commuting workers surrounded a large area, all pointing to it, talking head to ear.

Fang Wei looked up and saw that the huge dust collector was lying crookedly on the support, the entire new box was gone, and the debris was scattered all over the ground, he didn't think much about it, he knew that there was an explosion.

When the workshop director saw him coming, he hurriedly came over and said; "Fang Gong, there was a sudden power outage in the early hours of this morning, and when the operator started again, the dust collector exploded."

Fang Wei said angrily; "Why are you again, as long as you are on duty, there will be accidents, what is the reason for this, can you tell me?"

The workshop director didn't know how to answer, and he didn't say anything, silently followed Fang Wei's butt to the scene of the accident.

Fang Wei observed the scene of the explosion and said; "Don't clean up the scene first, let the office notify the insurance company, tell them to come quickly, take pictures of the scene and evaluate it, and see how big the loss is."

He glanced at the people around him and said; "Don't gather around here, go to work when you should go to work, get off work when you should get off work, all disperse."

Fang Wei asked the electrician on duty to call and asked; "There was a sudden power outage in the early hours of this morning, what happened? You can tell me about it first, and then show me the night duty log. ”

The electrician on duty said; "Fang Gong, at about half past five in the morning, there was a sudden power outage, after the backup lighting was turned on, there was no half an hour, and the call came again, and the posts started to run the equipment one after another, when the furnace worker opened the air supply gate, I don't know what the reason was, the dust collector suddenly exploded, and what happened was probably like this."

After listening to the description of the electrician on duty, Fang Wei already understood in his heart the reason for the explosion of the dust collector and said; "You've worked hard enough at night, now go take a shower and get off work."

At this moment, Manager Zhang came and asked; "What's going on, why did the dust collector explode? Did you hurt anyone? ”

Fang Wei said; "Manager Zhang, no one was injured, from the scene of the accident, on the surface, the dust collector exploded, which was caused by a power outage, in fact, there were other reasons, that is, the time of each post was not brought in accordance with the operating procedures, and the order before and after was confused. Once the air supply system is started, there will be an explosion, so the current situation is caused, and it is necessary to seriously investigate it, and this accident is also caused by man. ”

Manager Zhang's face turned pale and looked angry, he probably turned around the scene, didn't say anything more, and turned away, leaving an embarrassed Fang Wei.

Fang Wei stayed at the scene for a while, returned to his office, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, Manager Zhang's attitude towards him suddenly changed, he felt that there must be a problem here, and it was not good to ask in person.

He was a little depressed, he didn't dare to tell others, he came back from work, had a meal in a hurry, called Xiaoli, and said; "There was an explosion accident in the factory, I have to work overtime tonight, if I don't come back, I can't give you a massage, you have to go to bed early, don't worry about me."

Xiaoli's mother took the phone and said; "Work overtime at night, pay attention to safety, let's massage Xiaoli, you don't have to worry about it, go to work with peace of mind."

Fang Wei didn't go to work at all, he didn't fall asleep all night, he tossed and turned, thinking all night, how to deal with the current situation, the passivity at work, and finally he came up with a way to retreat.

Early the next morning, he came to the roadside stall, had some breakfast, came to the factory early, sat at the desk, wrote a leave note, and waited for Manager Zhang to go to work.

He was thinking about how to say the reason for asking for leave that was both reasonable and could be said in the past, and suddenly, Manager Zhang's voice came from outside the door.

Fang Wei listened quietly, and when he heard the sound of Manager Zhang opening the office door, he stood up and walked towards Manager Zhang's office.

He knocked lightly on the door a few times, and there was a response from inside, and he pushed the door in, and said; "Manager Zhang, I've been waiting for you for a long time, my object has been in recent days, the situation is a little bad, the injury has rebounded, and I can't do without someone to take care of it, I will hand over the work to the deputy director for a while, so that he can take full responsibility, so as not to delay the work in the factory, I want to take a long vacation, I hope the leadership will approve."

Manager Zhang looked at Fang Wei, he didn't squeak for a long time, as if he was thinking about something, Fang Wei saw that he didn't speak, and hurriedly said; "Manager Zhang, all aspects of the current work in the factory are very smooth, I will temporarily take a period of leave, and the deputy factory director will be fully responsible, there will be no big mess, you can rest assured."

Manager Zhang was still hesitating, Fang Wei kept watching, and he had to speak, so he said; "Fang Gong, we've been working together for a few years, right? You still don't trust me so much, don't tell me the truth, isn't your object already able to walk? Why did it suddenly bounce back again? ”

Fang Wei saw that the leader didn't believe it, it happened that Xiaoli had a minor illness such as a cold recently, and he explained confidently; "Manager Zhang, what I said is all the truth, it is impossible to lie to you, if you don't believe it, you can go and take a look."

Manager Zhang was thinking in his heart, leaving you Fang Wei, seeing that the bottom line is not good, he sighed and said; "Since you must ask for leave, I can't force you, so I can only approve it, agree to half a year's leave, and when your object is well, come back to work as soon as possible, okay?"

Fang Wei stood up and said; "Thank you, Manager Zhang, if you have no other instructions, then I will go to the deputy director to hand over, after the handover, I will not come to say goodbye to you."

The deputy director returned to the first chair, in order to win the hearts of the people, the requirements for the workers, relaxed a lot, even the rules and regulations can not be observed, the phenomenon of late arrival and early departure, has become a trivial matter, has been accustomed to sleep, do not stick to the job, absenteeism and many other problems, not uncommon.

He did something even more out of the ordinary, squeezing aside a group of experienced old workers hired by Fang Wei from his hometown, promoting his cronies and promoting them to middle-level leadership positions.

A group of them joined hands to blame Fang Wei for the chaos in the factory, deceived the superiors and concealed the subordinates, the product quality plummeted, and the users called many times to explain that the quality of the products sent to them was not as good as before, and they did not get a reply for a long time.

There are a few customers who can't bear it anymore and call Manager Zhang directly, reflecting that the goods they received have quality problems, and if they don't change the current situation, they will not only have to compensate for the loss, but also sever the cooperative relationship.

Only then did Manager Zhang find out that there was a big problem, and he felt that the situation was serious, and if it was not corrected in time, there would be a big mess, and it was very likely that the factory would collapse.

He was very anxious, and immediately contacted Fang Wei to talk to him, Fang Wei either said that he was not at home, or that he was exercising with Xiaoli, or that he was massaging Xiaoli, and he had no spare time, so when he had time, he would go to the factory to find him.

Manager Zhang knew that he had listened to the slander and committed a big crime, it seemed that it was not possible to leave Fang Wei, and now he regretted it, and he couldn't bow his head in front of Fang Wei and admit his mistakes, let alone take the initiative to find him, there was really a dilemma.

He dragged on for more than a week, and under the strong demand of the shareholders, Manager Zhang finally made a compromise, and it seems that if the problem is not solved immediately, he, the chairman, may be dismissed.

Manager Zhang locked himself in the office and thought about it for a long time before he hesitantly picked up the phone and called Fang Wei............
