"Is this Mr. Lu's phone number? You are so lucky."
Du Juan hung up the phone in confusion, and Sheng Yi on the side came up and said with a smile to please her.
Du Juan nodded silently. She was indeed lucky to have met Lu Ming. Otherwise, she would have fallen into a pit of fire. It was hard to say whether she would live or die.
Lu Ming repeatedly encouraged her to face reality bravely, to have her own life, and to have her own independent personality. She didn't understand it at first and didn't know how to do it, but now she slowly understands it.
Du Juan's office had a new phone installed, but Sheng Di didn't know the number, so the phone number she gave Lu Ming was Sheng Yi's office, and Du Juan had to run over to answer it.
Sheng Yi carefully looked at Du Juan's confused expression and did not dare to say anything else for fear of offending this "assistant manager" with a special background.
At the beginning, Sheng Youde just casually said that he arranged Du Juan here without any specific work. It was just to give her a place to settle down so that she would no longer pester Lu Ming.
The assistant manager can be big or small, real or empty. Just as Sheng Di thought, she should be the assistant manager of the general manager, but she doesn't want to go, so just let her stay and do whatever she wants.
Du Juan didn't think so. After coming to the factory, she began to work seriously and became the head of the factory.
In order to understand the actual situation of the workers, she cut off her beautiful long hair, put on a mask, and went to the workshop in person to talk to the female workers to see how they worked and what help they needed.
She thought about it, started to understand the situation from the lowest level of the factory, and mastered the entire factory's operation process, not missing any link.
If it was just like this, it wouldn't matter. Everyone would think that she was full and had nothing to do. However, Du Juan was not economical on fuel. Within a few days, she found the manager and asked for more nutritious lunches and dinners for the female workers. This caused conflicts.
"It's not okay to only give two steamed buns and a bowl of water-like vegetable soup for one meal." Du Juan seriously challenged the manager.
Most of the female workers are only 17 or 18 years old, and some of the younger ones are 14 or 15 years old. They have been lacking nutrition for a long time, and all of them are sallow and thin, and cannot develop normally.
The manager smiled bitterly and said that these were all decided by the above and he had no power to change them. Moreover, it would not be implemented for a year or two, or for a long time. This is also true.
Du Juan told the manager unceremoniously that she had carefully investigated and found that the meals arranged for the female workers were inconsistent with the actual situation. The manager did not understand what she meant and looked at her without daring to say anything.
"A large part of the food expenses of female workers has been deducted to give some people free food. The food expenses of female workers should be used exactly on them and put into their rice bowls, rather than being used by some people.
Free meals." Du Juan said decisively.
Du Juan knew that she would offend people by saying this, but she was not afraid. She had long been tired of those idle women in the office. Not only did they not do anything, but they ate for free every day, and they often brought food home from the canteen.
She couldn't stand it at first, so she learned to bring food home for Jiu'er to eat.
Her first step was to get rid of this shortcoming in the factory and let the female workers get their fair share.
The manager shook his head and smiled bitterly. Du Juan dared to offend those women, but he really didn't dare. Who didn't know what those women were doing with Sheng Di, and Sheng Di was their protective umbrella.
Du Juan was furious and called Sheng Di to explain her intentions.
Sheng Di was stunned. He didn't expect Du Juan to intervene in such a matter, but he changed his mind and immediately agreed to Du Juan's request to improve the food for the female workers from tomorrow on.
Sheng Di didn't want to see those women running into his office crying, so he asked that the canteen be kept free. He would allocate a sum of money to improve the food of the female workers, and instructed that the funds should be earmarked for their use and no deductions could be made.
The money allocated was of no concern to him or the factory, but he was still a little upset about Du Juan's involvement in the factory.
He thought that Du Juan was concerned about this matter out of a moment of righteous indignation and could not see the lives of female workers. Little did he know that this was just the beginning, and the big move was yet to come.
After Du Juan waited for the food expenses to come down, she went to the canteen to finalize the menu with the chef. She changed the daily steamed buns to white rice, the vegetable soup to vegetables, tofu or other cheap vegetables, and she ate fish and meat once a week.
When the women in the office heard that the factory’s food expenses had increased, they all jumped up and down with excitement, thinking that they would be able to take home a lot more delicious food every day. However, when they asked, they found out that the food expenses would not amount to even a penny.
All the money is used to feed the female workers.
This is arranged by the general manager himself. If anyone is found to dare to violate it, he will be fired immediately.
Those women knew it was Du Juan's fault, so they couldn't help but jump and yell behind their backs, and they had to put on a flattering smile in front of them. Du Juan's backers were stronger than them, and no matter how dissatisfied they were, they didn't dare to show it.
Although Sheng Yi was related to the Sheng family, she also envied Du Juan. The general manager even gave in to her, so what else could she say?
However, the free meals in the cafeteria are still the same, and even Du Juan still takes a plate of fried steamed buns and a portion of condensed milk home to Xiaojiu as a snack to replenish his body every night. If you don't take it for free, Du Juan can only think so.
Du Juan also proposed to cancel the body search system in the factory, saying that if the cotton yarn is lost, no matter how much it is, she will pay for it.
Both Sheng Yi and the manager felt it was inappropriate and called Sheng Di for instructions. Sheng Di thought for a while and agreed, asking them to do as Du Juan said.
The manager and Sheng Yi discussed privately, feeling that Du Juan's control was too lenient. If this continued, wouldn't they have nothing to do?
"It's okay. She won't be able to do this for long. She will have to leave soon. Then we will restore the original system." The manager comforted himself.
"There is nothing we can do, I hope so." Sheng Yi shook her head repeatedly.
The day after the body search system was abolished, it was discovered that two bundles of cotton yarn were missing from the factory. Needless to say, they had been opened and taken away by some female workers.
When Du Juan found out, she said nothing and took out five yuan as compensation.
The story of Dujuan's loss of money soon spread in the workshop, and several female workers stood up to speak out, accusing those who had stolen the cotton yarn.
Du Juan did not blame anyone. She told the female worker frankly that she had a monthly salary of fifty yuan. If the amount of lost cotton yarn exceeded this amount, she would have to reinstate the body search system.
"Whether we stop taking away the cotton yarn or let those scoundrel searchers come back and continue searching, you can choose for yourself," Du Juan finally said.
Those female workers who stole cotton yarn also acted out of habit, thinking that what they took came from the factory and Du Juan would not really pay for it. Unexpectedly, Du Juan actually paid with his own money. In this way, they were stealing Du Juan's money.
Several female workers who stole cotton yarn bowed their heads in shame and remained silent, while other female workers shouted loudly from the side: "Du Xiangli is already helping us to the maximum extent, why are there still people who are ignorant!"
A few days later, a few female workers could not control themselves and secretly took cotton yarn. As a result, they were reported by other female workers before they even reached the factory gate.
The manager and Sheng Yi immediately demanded that these female workers be fired, which was also the rule. Du Juan disagreed. She knew that these female workers were all in particularly difficult circumstances at home, and they probably wanted to get some cotton yarn back to knit gloves and socks for their families in the winter.
.
Du Juan gave each of them 50 cents and asked them to use the money to buy gloves and socks for their families. He also warned them that this time would not be an exception. If they were caught stealing cotton yarn again, they would be expelled immediately and would not be tolerated.
These female workers were frightened when they were caught. They didn't expect that Dujuan would let them go once. They also knew the importance of this job. Almost every day, there were girls waiting eagerly at the factory gate to recruit workers.
They cried bitterly and repented to Du Juan, and vowed never to take another cotton yarn from the factory, nor to ask for Du Juan's money, but Du Juan still stuffed the money into their hands.
After that day, stealing cotton yarn never happened again and was completely eliminated.
