Chapter 35 Chapter 35 "Enjoy" the shoeshine of the whole organization

In the small auditorium of the old building of the Dashanzi office, the representatives of laid-off workers who came to participate in the discussion had already arrived.Because Secretary Pan did not arrive for a long time, the symposium has not yet started.The staff who organized the meeting were anxious.The workers' representatives remained strangely silent, sitting in their respective positions with stern expressions and waiting.A deputy director of the development zone surnamed Jiang explained: "I'm sorry... Secretary Pan was delayed on the road... He will be there soon..." The workers' representatives looked at each other and did not make any statement.

As soon as Ma Yang arrived at the office, he asked Secretary Ding to check how many provincial and municipal model workers were among the first batch of laid-off workers. "After receiving your call, I immediately asked the relevant parties to search on the computer. There is only one provincial and municipal model worker included in this batch of laid-off lists...that is Zhao Changlin. What a coincidence..." Xiao Ding reported.Ma Yang frowned and said, "Dashanzi is just such a precious lump, how could he be neglected?" Xiao Ding hurriedly said, "I have asked several leaders from the City Federation of Trade Unions, the Labor Bureau, and the Civil Affairs Bureau to wait in your office." I'm caught..." Ma Yang said, "Let's go to the venue first."

As soon as Ma Young walked into the venue, everyone stood up.Ma Yang smiled gently and said: "Please sit down. Everyone, please sit down. Secretary Pan asked me to apologize to everyone. I am very sorry. There was an unexpected incident on the road that delayed everyone for so long. He was rushing to Hurry here." At this time, the director of the development zone office came in, whispered in his ear, "Secretary Pan is here. He is in your office. He asked you to go over." Ma Yang hurried back to his office, only to see There are already many people sitting in the office.The most eye-catching ones are of course Pan Xiangmin and Zhao Changlin with a shoe shine box in front of them.Pan Xiangmin glanced at Ma Yang with an uneasy face.Ma Yang stepped forward to shake his hand, but he ignored him.Ma Yang greeted with some embarrassment: "Just arrived." But Pan Xiangmin asked coldly: "Is there anything else I can talk about?" Ma Yang hurriedly answered: "Yes. Yes." He took Pan Xiangmin to another office.As soon as he entered the office, Pan Xiangmin, who had been suffocated for a long time, yelled at Ma Yang: "I said Ma Yang, you are so big and big, you can't accommodate a provincial model worker! Only when model workers are laid off can I feel at ease." "It was my negligence at work. It was indeed my negligence at work..." Ma Yang hurriedly agreed. "Negligence, do you know that your negligence hurts more than just Zhao Changlin?" Pan Xiangmin was still relentless.

At this time, Secretary Ding came to report in a hurry: "The representatives of the laid-off workers who attended the meeting heard that Zhao Changlin was coming, and they all went to the office to see him." "Take away" Zhao Changlin, feeling a little flustered in his heart, and also afraid that Zhao Changlin would "lose a loss", so in a hurry, he called two taxis and came after them.When getting off the bus, the two drivers refused to accept the fare, and only said: "Yes, yes. We have hired this car. Remember, it is better than anything else to speak the truth for the buddies in front of the officials."

As a result, more and more people gathered in Ma Yang's office.Secretary Ding hurriedly greeted: "Comrades, please go to the small auditorium..." After a while, the small auditorium was overcrowded, and people even stood in the aisles on both sides.Deputy Director Jiang first invited "our respected old leader, former Comrade Pan Xiangmin" to speak.Pan Xiangmin, who was still stern, said: "I'd like to ask Ma Yang, your top leader, to speak first. His words are more effective than mine." Ma Yang stood up quickly and said: "Okay. Let me say a few words first. After everyone has finished speaking, please invite Secretary Pan made a conclusion. First of all, I want to explain a situation to everyone..." At this moment, Zhao Changlin stood up suddenly, raised a hand with his face flushed, and begged: "Can you let me...let me Say a few words first"

Ma Yang was taken aback.All the people present were taken aback.Deputy Director Jiang, who presided over the meeting, was worried that the atmosphere at the scene was so "fierce" and that if he intervened in such a way, something would happen. He said in an orderly tone: "Changlin, let Director Ma finish the speech first." Zhao Changlin looked at Deputy Director Jiang apologetically, and then looked at Pan Xiangmin as if asking for help, and said, "I...I..." Pan Xiangmin Immediately responded: "Since Chang Lin has something to say, let Chang Lin speak first. Chang Lin, you say it. Say what you want. Let go." Ma Yang immediately responded with confidence: " Alright. Changlin, you go first."

Really want him to speak first, but Zhao Changlin hesitated for a while. "Leaders at the provincial and municipal levels haven't had a face-to-face discussion with our workers for a while. Today's meeting has messed up such a big deal. I'm sorry for all the leaders and comrades here..." A few minutes Then he began to murmur.The hall was silent. "A few days ago, Director Ma gave a speech to all the citizens of Dashanzi on TV. There was a passage that made me feel very uncomfortable. He said that for decades, all the citizens, workers, and cadres of our Dashanzi have worked for the head office of Dashanzi The construction has done its best and made outstanding contributions. This account should be recorded in the history of the development of the Republic. However, due to the unprecedented storms and some mechanical failures, the management and command of a certain period were wrong. This ship has The "super ship" with 300,000 crew members and passengers can no longer carry so many crew members and passengers. There are only two ways out before everyone. One is that no one will get off the ship and sink tragically together with the ship. One way out is to disembark the extra crew and passengers as soon as possible, keep the big ship unsinkable, wait for the ship to be repaired, install new machines, and be able to sail five continents and four oceans, and then let the big guys board the ship according to needs and possibilities Come on. Even if some people still can’t get on the ship in the end, the party and the government will never abandon them, and they must have a proper guarantee for their basic life. This time, our machine repair branch has been cut 100%. The factory leaders asked According to my opinion, they said, you are a provincial model worker, you can make a request, we will report you to the city, and according to relevant policies, we can make special arrangements for you. I did not make this request. Just now, Director Ma When we met, Director Jiang and I kept apologizing to me, saying that they made mistakes in their work and neglected me, a provincial model worker and an outstanding representative of the working class, which hurt everyone’s hearts. They immediately asked the leaders of the labor bureau present to correct me. I offered to return to work. I was very grateful. However, I still refused. I am not holding my breath with the provincial and municipal leaders. Of course, after being laid off, I also held my breath and scolded my mother. Workers in Dashanzi They all said, look forward to Ma Yang, miss Ma Yang, all laid off when Ma Yang came. But these days I figured it out. I really figured it out. Even if this big ship is repaired, it will be different from the previous big ship. In the previous boat, the state provided food, housing, production and sales. Every year, every month, every day, someone would assign you work. You just need to concentrate on your work. It can be said that for more than 30 years, I, Zhao Changlin, have not only learned Apart from repairing those old machines, I really don't know anything else. From now on, it will be impossible. Whether on or off the ship, we must have that kind of skill, and we must learn to lead you when no one is holding you. In your case, you can also do a few puffs yourself. From a small point of view, you can also find a meal for your wife and children; from a large point of view, you can also use the waste heat of our working class to create a little wealth for the country and the collective. This is a skill. "Late learning is better than early learning, and forced learning is better than self-conscious learning. Shoeshine is not ashamed. At present, we only have this ability, so let's do it. Who knows what tricks and roads will be created in the future. Here you go." At this point, he was a little bit at a loss for words.He is really unwilling to make a living by shining shoes today.And for tomorrow's day, he is indeed at a loss.Sorrow and anxiety, apprehension and doubt, uneasiness and grievance, impulsiveness and restraint... all the embarrassing emotions in this world that can torture a middle-aged man into a listless little old man are all like miscellaneous faces at this time. Mixed together, all came to mind.Suddenly, his eyes were moist.

static field.A long silence.Ma Yang stood up suddenly and took the lead in clapping excitedly.Pan Xiangmin applauded.Deputy Director Jiang and the staff of the agency applauded.The workers' representatives present applauded.After hearing the news, the two deputy mayors of the city government also applauded.But at this moment, Zhao Changlin suddenly sat down on his own shoe-shine box, covered his face with his hands, and began to cry. The cry stunned everyone present.Ma Yang hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: "Changlin..." Zhao Changlin hurriedly wiped away his tears, forced a smile and said, "What the hell am I doing? I'm leaving. I'm off to work." Pan Xiangmin grabbed Zhao Changlin , gestured to the secretary.

The secretary hurriedly took out some money.Pan Xiangmin said sincerely: "Your work was delayed today. This is a little labor subsidy." Zhao Changlin took the money, his hands trembling, tears welling in his eyes for a long time, and he didn't speak for a long time.He murmured twice: "Thank you. Thank you..." But he returned the money to Pan Xiangmin's secretary, picked up the shoebox, turned and walked out. At this time, Ma Yang rushed over and called out: "Chang Lin, please wait a moment." Zhao Changlin stopped. Ma Yang asked the secretary: "How many comrades in the office have not returned home?" The secretary hesitated, and replied: "A third of them are still working overtime." Ma Yang immediately ordered: "Notify all of them who wear leather shoes immediately. Comrade, gather here."

The secretary was taken aback for a moment, not knowing what Ma Yang was going to do, but he turned around habitually and went to inform people.After a while, a dozen comrades wearing leather shoes came over.Some comrades who wore other shoes came with some leather shoes in their hands. Ma Yang waved his hands and said loudly: "Come, come, enjoy the luxury. Shine shoes. Five yuan a pair. Give the money to Secretary Ding."
