The sound of rain came, and Luo Xiyun felt unhappy when she heard what her husband said: "Is the rain a little lighter?"
"It's not bad at all. Come and take a look." Xia Zekai opened all the curtains. The heavy rain outside the window seemed to be equipped with a perpetual motion machine and never stopped.
"This is a disaster." Luo Xiyun said.
Xia Zekai had to admit that his wife was right.
"With such heavy rain, I have to tell them in the group that I won't go to work today," Luo Xiyun said.
Hearing what his wife said, Xia Zekai opened his mouth, but what he wanted to say did not come out.
But he knew in his heart that his wife was right.
After much thought, he also told all the company managers in the group: "The night shift will be suspended until the heavy rain stops!"
"Each department should do a good job in personnel statistics and report any abnormalities immediately."
Then the words below all read: "Received"
He also sent a separate message to Zhang San: "Manager Zhang, ask the salesperson and customer service to explain clearly to the customer that it is raining heavily all over the city and we cannot ship the goods. We will wait until this period of time has passed before shipping."
"Received! I'll make arrangements right away." Zhang San responded.
…
At this time, Qicheng turned into a vast ocean overnight. The water on the streets was no more than knee-deep on average. Children were not allowed to go out at this time.
Kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, and high school all have one day of classes, waiting for notification.
There are obviously more traffic police on duty at every important intersection on the street. Even if they have rain gear, it will not be of much use. If the time is a little longer, people will be shivering from the cold.
However, there are still many people riding electric scooters, driving private cars, and taking buses on the streets. They are all rushing to their respective jobs.
In this kind of bad weather, everyone wants to rest at home, but everyone knows that if you rest, you have no money. The company does not issue notices, and few people are willing to ask for leave.
There is a saying that goes well, everyone is aware of the hardships of life, and they are all moving forward with a heavy burden!
After Xia Zekai had breakfast at home, he did not stop. The Bentley Mulsanne could not be driven. He called Wang Yi, Wu Jialei, Liu Changzheng, Peng Guodong and others, and drove away in his wife's Porsche Paramila.
This car's chassis is at least higher than his Mulsanne, and its draft is a little deeper.
Don't let what happened yesterday happen again.
However, when I came to the street, I saw the water was deeper than yesterday. As the car moved forward, there was a wave in the water. In this situation, rowing would be sufficient.
They couldn't pick up the speed, so they walked forward slowly with the flow of traffic. Occasionally, they would see a person riding an electric bicycle fall down on the road, and someone would help him next to him, or someone's electric bicycle battery would be filled with water.
After that, it couldn't start, so I had to step in the water and push the electric car forward slowly.
Water seemed to have entered the bus. When Xia Zekai passed by a stop, he saw many people sitting on the seats in the bus, lifting their legs, but their shoes were already filled with water.
Going further, a car going east-west and an SUV going north-south collided with each other at the traffic light intersection. The drivers of both cars got out, each holding an umbrella and arguing in the water.
This extreme weather affected my mood.
Because of this accident, a lot of vehicles were blocked at this intersection, and it seemed that it had been going on for a while.
When the cars behind saw this, they all turned around and walked slowly past.
Xia Zekai glanced outside, shook his head and said, "If you just slow down a little bit, everything will be fine. Are you seeking death by speeding up?"
Several people in the car did not speak.
It usually takes more than half an hour to get to the company, but today it took me an hour and a half.
Xia Zekai was relieved when he saw that the water in the company's yard was not deep and that no water was poured into the workshop.
"Convene a meeting with all the managers of the company." Xia Zekai said to Li Mumu and Yan Jinghua when he saw them.
…
Qicheng Aideli Co., Ltd. After Sun Ming arrived at the company, he sat at his work station for half an hour. Looking at the manager Jing Yunlong's open office door, he got up and walked over.
He knocked on the door and entered, then closed the office door.
"Sun Ming, do you have anything to do with me?" Jing Yunlong raised his head and asked.
Sun Ming said: "Manager, I have been thinking about it for a long time. I come here to tell you that I plan to resign."
"Resign?" Jing Yunlong opened his mouth, trying to persuade him.
Objectively speaking, Qicheng Aideli Co., Ltd. is still a very good company, but no matter how good a company is, there are inhumane systems. For example, when it comes to salary increases, they are all rigid and dogmatic.
Sun Ming had previously talked to him alone about 'salary'. Sun Ming also told him about his family situation. Jing Yunlong even went to see Mr. Qi Jiahui alone, but Mr. Qi acquiesced to an increase of up to 20%.
The company wanted to retain people, but the increase of 1,000 yuan could not solve the situation of Sun Ming's family at all.
From the last time Sun Ming proposed to resign, Jing Yunlong knew that it was only a matter of time before he, a capable man, resigned.
"Well, manager, I've also told you that since I had my children, my family's expenses have been too great, and my wife can't go to work. I can only rely on my own meager income to provide food and clothing for the family of three.
It’s really difficult to pay off the mortgage.” Sun Ming’s face was filled with the heaviness after the hardships of life.
You can't see the future from your current job.
"Have you found a job? It's not too late to leave after you find it." Jing Yunlong said.
After all, he was a colleague, and Sun Ming also helped him with a lot of work. When people get along for a long time, they are all about emotions.
Sun Ming nodded: "We've already found him. We'll go over there after resigning from here."
"Okay, I won't advise you anymore. You can write a resignation application today and go through the formalities in 14 working days." Jing Yunlong is doing business now.
Sun Ming said 'hmm'. He was very familiar with these processes, and then said: "Manager, thanks to your care in the past three years, I can work with peace of mind and learn a lot. I will leave soon."
Yes, I would like to treat you to a meal again."
"Let me invite you. You have helped me a lot in the past three years. Then invite other colleagues in our department to have a department dinner together." Jing Yunlong said.
Life is not easy!
Sun Ming's "sudden resignation" caused an uproar in their department. He was the director of EHS, his salary was so "high", his work intensity was not tiring, and he could do the job well enough to retire. Who would have thought that he would also resign?
.
Everyone was shocked and felt that they could not accept this fact. Only when the manager Jing Yunlong personally told the seven soldiers in the EHS department that after the heavy rain stopped, they would take time to have a dinner together to see Sun Ming off, they believed it.
I will be reluctant to part ways.
…
In the conference room of Jingtong Development Co., Ltd., all department managers in the company were already in place. Xia Zekai got down to business after coming over.
There are few people in the meeting today, they are all the decision-makers of the company, and there is not much nonsense.
Xia Zekai emphasized at the beginning: "Before the heavy rain stops, all departments must do a good job in the safety of employees and ensure everyone's safety when commuting to and from get off work."
"In addition, the rainfall this time has been very heavy, which has affected logistics and delivery, and the company's production. But I still mean the same thing. The night shift is suspended to ensure the safety of employees first. The logistics and delivery side will explain it clearly to customers. I believe they can understand."
"Boss, directly-operated stores in surrounding prefectures and cities can also use vans or containers to deliver goods." Li Mumu mentioned this.
Xia Zekai shook his head: "Manager Guo, please make it clear to all our stores that they will not be sold anymore and will have a unified holiday. At this time, there are still a few people coming out to buy things."
Guo Ying had to admit that the boss was right, there really wasn't much sales at this time.
When she communicated with store managers in the work group last night, many people explained this. Yesterday's sales were very few, with more than a thousand yuan and only a few hundred yuan less.
Not having zero income is considered a great honor.
But the usual sales of a store are several thousand or even tens of thousands of dollars, and the difference is obvious at a glance.
This month's turnover was definitely affected. She was mentally prepared to explain it to her boss, but who knew that her boss actually proposed a plan to let employees take a break. At that moment, she was moved beyond words.
"In terms of construction, we can stop as long as we can, and it won't be short of a day or two."
Xia Zekai held a meeting for more than half an hour for everyone. There was no arguing in the meeting. The plan he proposed was just implemented by the managers of each department.
It's not like when dozens of families gather together for a meeting, they pull each other back and forth, endlessly.
After the meeting, Xia Zekai left Li Mumu, Yan Jinghua, and Huang Ying behind. The four of them didn't know what they discussed, but when everyone left, the expressions on their faces were solemn.
…
At the same time, a touching figure always emerges from a major disaster.
Who and where risked their lives to save someone, who carried an elderly person across a river, who had an emergency at home, and the public security officers went all out to take them to the hospital.
Xia Zekai mobilized all forces on a rainy night to help a group of people who were waiting to go home. The sight of him directing the "building bridges and paving roads" flashed in these news, which was even more shocking.
Compared with others, the biggest difference between him and others is that he has the label of "worth billions" on his body. This gimmick makes people want to see it.
While waiting for some people who had gone to Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. for interviews to come forward and give their own opinions, many people truly realized what "corporate responsibility" is, and more people started to think about working for this company.
During the day, the rain still continued, but if you look closely, you will find that the amount of rainfall is a little smaller, and the dark clouds in the sky also look dimmer.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, but God was not kind to him. The more trouble there was, the more likely it would be to have an accident. News came from Weicheng that when they released water from the reservoir, the water flowed downstream, causing the river to be flooded.
The vegetable sheds were washed away, and many people faced the risk of a massive reduction in vegetable production.
The supply of vegetables suddenly shrunk, and the prices of vegetables in major supermarkets and farmers' markets suddenly increased. There was even a "sky-high" price of more than 30 yuan for a handful of spinach.
