Chapter 827 Deputy Director Li can only agree
However, he reconsidered, realizing that Gu Nan held the key to his affairs. If he disagreed, who knew what Gu Nan would do? After weighing the pros and cons, Deputy Director Li gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I agree to this." Although he was extremely reluctant, he had no choice but to compromise.
Upon hearing this, Gu Nan was secretly delighted. He knew Deputy Director Li would agree to this. After all, he was in control, leaving Deputy Director Li with little choice. After receiving Deputy Director Li's approval, Gu Nan politely said, "Thank you for your support, Deputy Director Li. I'll go and arrange the follow-up matters." With that, he turned and left Deputy Director Li's office.
Deputy Director Li watched Gu Nan leave with a feeling of helplessness and reluctance. He knew that Gu Nan wanted to establish his own prestige in the factory through this plan and rectify some of the bad practices in the factory, but he had no choice but to cooperate with him because Gu Nan had the upper hand.
After Gu Nan left Deputy Director Li's office, he immediately arranged for everyone to call the workshop directors to a meeting. After all, implementing this plan required meticulous inspections of each workshop. Finding all those "slippery fish" who were earning salaries not commensurate with their level but still working in vain was the most important task.
When the workshop directors received the notice, although they were somewhat puzzled as to what kind of meeting Gu Nan was planning, they remained silent. They all knew the saying, "A new official should start with three fires," and no one wanted to be caught in such a fire, so they all obediently followed the instructions and came to the meeting room.
Gu Nan saw that all the workshop directors had arrived, cleared his throat, and began to explain his plan to them in detail. He emphasized the importance of this plan for improving overall work efficiency, optimizing staffing, and ensuring fairness and justice.
After listening to this, all the workshop directors looked at each other and raised no objections. After all, what Gu Nan said was indeed a good thing. There were indeed some workers in the factory who received wages that did not match their actual abilities. This not only affected the enthusiasm of other hard-working workers, but also had a certain negative impact on the production and management of the factory. Therefore, they also understood the necessity of this plan.
In the steel mill's meeting room, after some discussion about Gu Nan's proposal for a skills competition, almost all the directors agreed. However, Ma Jiefang knew very well that such a decision would likely offend some people.
He frowned slightly, thought for a moment, then slowly stood up, looked at Gu Nan, and asked, "Deputy Director Gu, I'd like to ask, will the workers' wages be paid during these days of the competition?" Ma Jiefang knew that the salary issue was the focus of everyone's concern, and he also hoped to use this question to test whether Gu Nan's arrangements for the competition were comprehensive.
In fact, the other workshop directors were also thinking about this matter, but no one wanted to touch upon it at this time, fearing that it would cause unnecessary trouble. They all looked at Gu Nan quietly, waiting for his answer.
Gu Nan smiled at Ma Jiefang and said slowly, "Master, your wages for the next few days won't be paid in full, but your hard work won't be in vain. The factory will pay half of your wages. Moreover, if these young workers can perform above their usual level in the competition, the factory will reward them."
As he spoke, Gu Nan pulled out two bicycle tickets from his pocket, held them up and showed them to everyone, then continued, "We'll reward one bicycle at that time, but there are only two available. This is both an incentive for the workers and a recognition of their abilities."
Hearing that there were bicycles as rewards, a quiet chatter erupted in the conference room, and everyone's faces lit up with excitement. Bicycles were in short supply at the time, and getting one was a huge temptation for ordinary workers. Everyone was delighted, and very satisfied with Gu Nan's arrangement.
Gu Nan looked at the remaining workshop directors and asked with a smile, "Does anyone have any other ideas?" At this moment, everyone was immersed in the anticipation of the reward, and they were only happy, so naturally there were no other thoughts. Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they had no objections.
After a while, the meeting ended and everyone left one after another. After they left, Ma Jiefang did not leave, but stayed in the meeting room. Seeing that Ma Jiefang was still there, Gu Nan took the initiative to walk over and asked with concern: "Master, do you have anything else to say?"
Ma Jiefang looked at Gu Nan, his eyes revealing a hint of mixed emotions. He hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "Gu Nan, you're the deputy factory director now. Don't call me Master anymore." Ma Jiefang knew that Gu Nan's current status was different, and continuing to call him Master might have some impact on Gu Nan's work and reputation.
Gu Nan actually knew very well what Ma Jiefang meant, but he pretended not to understand. He looked at Ma Jiefang with a puzzled look and said, "I understand, Master. Do you think I have embarrassed you?" Gu Nan wanted to use this method to make Ma Jiefang tell him his true thoughts.
Ma Jiefang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He didn't expect Gu Nan to have misunderstood his meaning. He hurriedly looked at Gu Nan, wanting to explain: "Gu Nan, you misunderstood, that's not what I meant..."
Before Ma Jiefang could finish, Gu Nan laughed. He looked at Ma Jiefang sincerely and said, "Master, I understand what you mean. You are worried about the impact on me. But as the old saying goes, a teacher is a father for life. Although I am now the deputy director, you will always be my master, and no one can change that. In my heart, you are not only my master, but also my family. Without your guidance and help, I would not be where I am today."
Ma Jiefang was deeply moved after hearing what Gu Nan said. After all, in this realistic society, Gu Nan is now in a high position. Once many people have status, they will no longer care about their former master. But Gu Nan still remembers the old times so much, which makes Ma Jiefang feel very relieved. He looked at Gu Nan and said earnestly: "Gu Nan, you should avoid suspicion in the future. After all, this is not good for your reputation. You are now shouldering important responsibilities in the factory, so you should think more about your future."
