Chapter 818 Talking and Laughing
Old Ye pointed at Lu Qiaoge with his finger, looking like he was getting serious and angry, but his sharp eyes were full of smiles.
The atmosphere in the room became more and more harmonious.
Some people knew that Director Hao had brought Lu Qiaoge into Secretary Ye's office.
These people were incredibly curious.
After all, Secretary Ye's arrival cut half of the benefits, but in reality, these benefits were actually secured by Lu Qiaoge after he built the instant noodle factory.
There have been times like this before, but not this many.
Then it was released for two years, and I thought it would be released again this year, but it was cut in half.
Of course, everyone was very conscious; apart from a few who didn't understand, most expressed that they understood.
Some people were gloating, thinking that Secretary Ye was trying to curb Lu Qiaoge's arrogance.
Without a doubt, Secretary Ye would look down on Lu Qiaoge.
If possible, would you uproot this person and expel him from 516?
Some people thought this way, while others worried that Secretary Ye might scold Lu Qiaoge until she cried.
The door to Secretary Ye's office was half open.
Since it wasn't a confidential conversation, and given that Lu Qiaoge was a lesbian, she didn't close the office door tightly.
But there were definitely no strangers around.
With nothing else to do, I stood at the end of the corridor looking towards Secretary Ye's office.
I don't know what kind of result I want.
There are both worried and people watching the spectacle.
But these people did it very discreetly, after all, they were leaders, and no one dared to offend them.
But Little Cangcang still heard people whispering in each other's ears.
"To be honest, Lu Qiaoge is really bold. Why is she coming to see Secretary Ye at this time? Besides, I think she's doing something unnecessary."
Why do you say that?
"Think about it, she's not a member of 516 anymore. Whatever benefits she receives, it doesn't really affect her. Even if it's for her family, there's no need for her to be the one to stick her neck out, is there?"
"I wonder who stirred things up behind the scenes. They're really wicked."
"Of course, it must be those people from the neighborhood committee."
"To be honest, Lu Qiaoge is too young. How much did those people in Xiangyang Subdistrict Office profit from her? And look what happened, they ripped us off like this."
"You can't blame Lao Hu and the others for tricking her. Actually, isn't it because Lu Qiaoge loves to show off, flaunt her achievements, and stand out?"
"Yes, yes, if something happens, who else can we turn to if not her?"
"The nail that sticks out gets hammered down. Let's see how Old Ye deals with her."
"You're not a very nice person. If it weren't for people like you, who would fight for our rights?"
"Yes, I think Lao Hu and the others are doing the right thing."
"Don't make wild guesses. Old Hu isn't exactly known for his good temper. If no one else has said anything, but you're all gossiping here, I'd like to see how he deals with you if it gets back to him."
Someone blinked and said, "It's just a few of us talking here, Lao Hu didn't hear us."
Little Cangcang was getting anxious. If it were a person, it would have a mouth and would definitely stand in front of these people and tell them that this was not the case.
Director Hu and the others from the neighborhood office didn't mention it to Lu Qiaoge at all.
On the contrary, it is you who are talking nonsense and stirring up trouble here.
I'm so angry! But I can't tell my little owner.
The little master can't do anything to them, or he'll feel uncomfortable if he hears it.
But if I don't say anything, I'll feel resentful.
At this moment, Xiao Cangcang finally understood why its little master had told it not to listen to the whispers behind people's backs.
Because that would affect a happy mood.
Xiao Cangcang glared fiercely at the four people who were still whispering behind her back, then flew to the door of Secretary Ye's office in a flash.
It stopped itself on the threshold, watching with great pride its little master chatting and laughing with Director Hao and Secretary Ye.
Even though the young master said those things on purpose, Secretary Ye wasn't angry.
That's right, Secretary Ye wasn't angry. Instead, he asked Lu Qiaoge very seriously, "Then tell me why you're rewarding her with a bonus? Can't you give her a certificate? Can't you hold a meeting to praise her?"
Xiao Cangcang thought the old man was too stingy.
Lu Qiaoge was not surprised at all that the old man thought this way. In fact, many people think and act this way nowadays, and the comrades who receive the reward do not feel that they have lost out; on the contrary, they are proud of it.
Lu Qiaoge considered the question carefully for a moment before slowly saying, "I can't answer this question directly. How about I give you an example?"
Secretary Ye immediately nodded and said in a very friendly voice, "Sure!"
I'm quite looking forward to seeing what example Lu Qiaoge will give.
Lu Qiaoge said, "Let's take a working-class family as an example. A dual-income couple got married in their first year, and no children were born yet. Their combined monthly salary was more than fifty yuan, and they lived a very comfortable life."
However, in the following ten years, five more children were born into their family.
However, their wages have not changed much, remaining at around fifty yuan.
But children aren't kittens or puppies; they need to eat, wear clothes and shoes, go to school, and see a doctor when they get sick.
Furthermore, as the couple worked longer hours, they became increasingly familiar with their colleagues at the factory. This led to them interacting and visiting each other.
Therefore, the couple's monthly income was never enough, and they had to borrow money whenever something happened.
The two worked hard, and one of them then implemented an innovation. However, before the innovation was successful, they had already accumulated more than two hundred dollars in debt.
After the innovation was successfully implemented, the factory held a meeting and decided to commend him.
Then they split into two factions.
One side argues that simply issuing a certificate would suffice; it's a lifelong honor and a spiritual reward.
The other side argued that we should consider the actual situation: they have many children, elderly parents in poor health, and their family is struggling to make ends meet.
At this time, a certificate of merit can warm people's hearts, but a cash prize can solve their immediate problems.
When they receive real subsidies, they feel their hard work is recognized and appreciated, giving them more motivation to work in the future.
Secretary Ye wasn't too surprised; he could guess what Lu Qiaoge would say to him.
What surprised him was Lu Qiaoge's way of speaking; she spoke so eloquently that you unconsciously gained her trust.
That's a skill in itself.
Secretary Ye glanced at Factory Director Hao: "Old Hao, do you think Comrade Lu's words make sense?"
Factory Director Hao put away his smile and nodded seriously: "There must be a reason for that."
Secretary Ye nodded and looked at Lu Qiaoge: "Comrade Lu, I understand what you mean."
Lu Qiaoge said with a smile: "Actually, no matter which method is used, the purpose is to improve the happiness of workers. Being recognized and rewarded makes them feel happy, and receiving real bonuses makes them feel just as happy."
