Manager Xu, I'm also going to ask for leave......"

"I'm in a bit of a hurry at home......"

For a while, five or six more workers stepped forward to ask Xu Liang for leave.

"What are you doing here? Rebellion!?" Xu Liang's eyes suddenly widened, and he said to a few workers who asked for leave: "Do you still have a sense of the overall situation, do you know how urgent the current production task of our factory is?"

"Manager Xu, we can't help it, there is an urgent matter at home, we can't afford not to deal with it, right? Now that my wife is about to give birth, if something happens, can the factory take this responsibility? Who can give me another wife and child in the future?" said the young worker.

"Manager Xu, I'm really old, if I was young, I would have been able to work 24 hours a day, but now I have a terrible back pain......"

"Okay, no need to say it!" Xu Liang gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't want to work overtime, you can go! I don't want to give you a chance to earn overtime pay, then it's no wonder to others!"

Xu Liang is obviously a little angry when he says this, he really wants to work overtime and do more work, but in these years, the working hours stipulated by state-owned enterprises are 8-hour working hours, and as a manager, he can't force workers to work overtime, which is illegal.

"Then thank you, Manager Xu!" Several workers turned around and left the workshop one after another.

Although Xu Liang promised to pay workers overtime, the reduced overtime pay has greatly reduced the attractiveness of these workers, and they are unlikely to be as enthusiastic as Duan Yun was when he was a manager.

And these elderly masters are indeed a little unbearable, from 7 o'clock in the morning to 12 o'clock in the evening, noon meals have to be in the workshop, such work intensity is indeed too great, and a week of overtime, has already made these workers physically and mentally tired.

Most of the young and strong young workers do not have the burden of their families, and today is the weekend, which is the day when the civil air defense song and dance hall in the factory is open, and many young people are busy with objects, so they will naturally not let go of such an opportunity.

So when Xu Liang let go, nearly half of the entire workshop suddenly left, and the rest of the workers were all listless, looking like they were mixed and mixed.

When people's hearts are scattered, the team will naturally be difficult to lead.

Seeing this situation, Xu Liang felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, he had always been energetic, but at this moment he suddenly felt very tired, as if he could fall asleep instantly by lying on the ground.

This kind of mental state, even if he has never had the hardest and most tiring days in the army, is the most appropriate to describe him in four words.

"Manager Xu, let's have a sip of tea first. At this time, Luo Fei, the director of the workshop, handed an enamel tea jar to Xu Liang.

Luo Fei is still a kind person, and he can also see that Xu Liang seems to be in a difficult situation, but there is only one thing Luo Fei can do, after all, he will not repair the stove, and there is no way to stop those workers who ask for leave to leave.

"Thank you!" As a result, the teacup Xu Liang's heart warmed, and he said to Luo Fei: "Old Luo, if you want me to say that the current workers are really irresponsible......

"Manager Xu, I think there is something wrong with what you are doing now, would you like to listen to my opinions?" Luo Fei said to Xu Liang.

"Just say it, I'll listen ......," Xu Liang said with a frown.

If he had just been a manager in the factory, Xu Liang would not have really listened to the advice of his subordinates, because Xu Liang was full of ambition at that time, and his brilliant military career in the army for many years gave him enough pride and confidence to manage such a small factory.

But today's incident hurt Xu Liang's self-confidence and self-esteem a lot, and he could still see the workers' dissatisfaction with him, but he really couldn't figure out what he had done wrong, and Luo Fei, who took the initiative to come forward and show favor to him at this time, made his heart warm suddenly, and the situation in the factory was indeed a little troublesome, so he wanted to hear what good advice Luo Fei had.

"Let's go out and talk. Luo Fei motioned for Xu Liang to follow him outside the workshop.

"Hmm. Xu Liang replied and followed behind him.

After the two walked out of the workshop, they came to a corner where no one was around.

"Smoking. After Luo Fei saw that there was no one, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Xu Liang.

Xu Liang hesitated, but still took the cigarette from Luo Fei's hand, lit it and took a puff.

"Manager Xu, in fact, I have also been a soldier, but I have only been a soldier for 4 years, and I am not as good as you to be able to promote ...... in the army" Luo Fei said to Xu Liang in a calm tone.

"Uh......" Xu Liangwen looked stunned when he heard this, and asked repeatedly: "Director Luo, how many years have you been a soldier?"

"The army I went to in 69 was a soldier in Chengdu......"

"Ah, my unit is also in the Chengdu Military Region, so I still want to call you an old squad leader. Xu Liang said with some surprise.

"It doesn't matter if you call it or not, I'm just a few years older than you. Luo Fei paused, and then said: "When I returned from the demobilization of the army, I was a little uncomfortable at first, but the social environment at that time was fine, not as complicated as it is now......

"Yes, people are indeed a little different now, they talk about money for everything, and they don't have much sense of honor at all......" After learning that Luo Fei was also a soldier, Xu Liang couldn't help but feel a little closer to him, and was willing to talk to him about something.

"That can't be helped, isn't it all reform and opening up, there are more and more rich people, it is inevitable that many people will be unbalanced, now even private enterprises are legal, if it was in the past, it would have been defeated as a capitalist roader...... "Luo Fei said with a puff of cigarette.

"Hmph, it's all made a miasma in society by people like Duan Yun!" Xu Liang snorted and said.

"But this social environment has changed, we must also learn to keep pace with the times and change, otherwise, we will really be eliminated by society......" Luo Fei said to Xu Liang.

"Old Luo, what do you want to say?" Xu Liang glanced at Luo Fei and said.

"Actually, what I mean is very simple, since we don't have the ability to change this society, then just let it be. Luo Fei paused, and then said: "Although Duan Yun's kid has some practices that I can't get used to, but he is really capable, don't look at him young, but compared to the factory leaders on the side of the main factory, it is much stronger, this labor service company Before he came, it was a mess that couldn't support the wall, but since he came, the efficiency of the factory has been getting better and better day by day, the products have won awards in the country, and export orders have been obtained, and the workers have made more money...... So I feel that Manager Xu should change your thinking, since Duan Yun's previous management of the factory is very useful, you can just follow his method......"

"You mean, I still want to learn from Duan Yun the experience of managing a factory?" Xu Liang said with a frown.
