116. They actually want to deduct money!

Director Luo slapped his thigh and sighed, saying, "Hey! Look at the mess they made! Let them finish moving things!"
"Finished moving? Nothing else to do? So, will the stove in the canteen be open for lunch?"
The director Luo has not spoken yet, but a colleague immediately interrupted and said, "Start it! Why shouldn't we start it! Otherwise, let the old and weak ones move that stuff back, and we can move it back for them, right!"
Director Luo couldn't help but laugh bitterly when he saw Mr. Yi and Mr. Xu just entering the office, and heard that they were asked to bring the tripod back. Their feet slipped and they almost fell in shock.
"Hey, be careful, old man. You should retire and go home to play with your grandchildren. How can you still be moving such heavy things? Is your back okay? Are you alright?" The leading worker asked with concern.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. It's just something in our factory, moving some stuff, it's not a big deal!" an old man said confidently.
"There's another one over there, do you want to make it a little more challenging for the two of you?"
An old man was startled and looked at Director Luo with a worried expression on his face.
Director Luo also wanted to laugh after hearing it, but hesitated and shook his head, saying, "I'm not joking. I'm really sorry, I made a mistake! What did you come to the office for, Master?"
"I want to..."
"Director Luo, on the phone!"
Before the old man could even start speaking, someone shouted from the other side.
"Whose?" Director Luo asked inquiringly.
"Chief Yang's."
Director Luo hurriedly went over and picked up the phone.
After a series of "Hmm, yes, yes, I'll be right there," he hung up the phone.
"I'm going to a meeting, Vice Director Liu will be in charge for now!"
Director Luo spoke while walking towards the door.
"Director Luo, what should we do then..."
"Let's go to the cafeteria at noon to treat the colleagues who helped move the things. We can talk while eating," Director Luo said as he quickly walked out, casually mentioning.
"What about us!" one colleague asked.
"Let's go together!" Director Luo's voice echoed in the corridor.
"That's great! We didn't do any work today and still managed to get a free meal."
"This is great news! I heard that Xiao Zao is personally cooking, and he is the successor of Tan Family cuisine."
"Save it! It's good enough to have a meat dish. Without ingredients, even if he is the successor of Tan Family cuisine, it's useless!"
A few people laughed and left the office.
"What should we do, Grandpa?" Xu Damao asked.
"What else can we do? Let's go back to the workshop first and talk about it during lunch." Grandpa sighed and said.
A workshop.
Xiao Wanghai stood at the door with his hands behind his back, and he saw an old man walking quickly from a distance.
"Lao Yi!" Xiao Wanghai called out with a smile from a distance.
"Director Xiao? What are you doing here?" the old man asked in surprise.
"I just got transferred to our workshop," Xiao Wanghai said with a smile.
"Vice director?"
"Director," Xiao Wanghai said modestly.
An elderly man immediately smiled and nodded, saying, "Congratulations! When did it happen?"
"You didn't come for the early shift today."
An elderly man was slightly taken aback and felt that something was not right.
"Ah, I took a day off." The elderly man quickly replied.
"I know, you took a fake attendance leave."
"I thought this wouldn't take much time, but it turned into a long-drawn-out affair!" a grandpa said somewhat helplessly.
Xiao Wanghai waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to know why the grandpa was frustrated, and earnestly said, "Grandpa, we are neighbors in the same courtyard, living in the front and back yards. As the saying goes, 'Neighbors are more important than distant relatives.' In theory, I shouldn't take it so seriously."
After listening to Xiao Wanghai's earnest words, the old man couldn't help but feel a sense of unease in his heart. He thought to himself, "Oh no, please don't say 'but'!"
"However," Xiao Wanghai glanced at the old man and finally spoke up. The old man's face immediately turned ugly.
"The rules and regulations in the factory are not just for the two of us, there are so many people in the workshop watching! Even if you took a clock-in absence, even if you were a bit late by ten or twenty minutes, or even half an hour, it would be fine. Look, what time is it now? In another hour, the cafeteria will open for meals!"
An old man suddenly remembered and said excitedly, "Director Xiao, I took a leave of absence! But I also helped move things in the office!"
Xiao Wanghai was stunned and asked, "Who arranged for you to go?"
An old man wondered and said, "No one arranged it."
"Oh!" Xiao Wanghai suddenly realized, pointing to the old man, and said with a smile, "Good person, good deed, you went to do a good deed!"
Once the old man heard about the opportunity, he nodded eagerly and said, "Yes, yes, I'm going to do a good deed."
Xiao Wanghai sighed again and patted the old man's shoulder, saying, "Old man! This is a bit complicated. Our work is organized, with plans and arrangements. We can't just do whatever we want, or everything would be thrown into chaos."
The old man was confused as soon as he heard it, as if it was different from what they had just discussed!
"Wanting to do good deeds, is that a good thing? Let me make it clear, I fully support it!"
"Oh no, here comes another 'but'!" The old man felt anxious again.
"But!" Xiao Wanghai gave the elderly man a cold glance before continuing, "Doing good deeds should be done after completing all of one's own work! Your own work isn't finished yet, so what good deed are you talking about!"
An old man stumbled and couldn't speak, and Xiaowanghai thought for a moment before saying, "According to the regulations, if you are late for more than two hours, you will not receive the full attendance award for that month..."
The old man's face immediately turned ugly, and he stared at Xiaowanghai.
They actually want to deduct money! This is something the old man didn't expect.
"But..."
The old man was so angry in his heart! And damn it, it's not over yet. Are they trying to make a fool out of me?
Alas, the situation is stronger than people. Inside the factory, they won't treat you as a big shot!
They talk about director, vice director, team leader, and shift leader.
As for yourself, you may not even count as a hair of a big shot once you're in the factory!
There is no shortage of work to be done.
Since Xiaowanghai has something to say, let's listen.
"I will listen to you, so tell me what to do." The old man said helplessly.
"Deduct half a month's salary, after all, it's the first time." Xiao Wanghai looked at an older gentleman and said with a friendly smile.
"Alright." The older gentleman said with a pained expression.
Where are two fifty cent coins!
It's just gone like this!
You stupid fool, wait for me! This matter between you and me is not over, and it's all because of you!
If it weren't for your involvement with Qin Jingru and these trivial matters, would I have taken leave today to address the issue?
Why did I have to go to the office so early in the morning to help someone move stuff?
And in the end, not only did I exert a lot of effort, but I also got deducted 2.5 yuan!
What did I do to deserve this?
"Is there anything else?" Xiao Wanghai asked the old man, who was lost in thought.
"It's gone," the old man finally realized, and quickly said, "Director, I'll go over first."
"Sure, go ahead!" Xiao Wanghai said with a smile.
