Chapter 11 My Mom Was a Factory Manager in the 1970s
Seeing this, even the most impatient Old Li wanted to rush to the workshop to assemble parts, but the quick-witted Deputy Factory Director Yan grabbed him.
"Old Li, don't rush. There are so many projects, one person can't handle them all. The reason why Director Si called so many technical personnel here today is to have everyone grouped according to their areas of expertise."
"This will also save manpower and resources, and achieve the best results."
Upon hearing Deputy Factory Director Yan's words, the previously agitated crowd calmed down.
Si Yan divided the research teams into four groups according to the project. At this time, the people prioritized national interests, and no one has asked about the rewards yet.
"All four projects have been arranged. I also promise everyone that if the projects are successfully developed, everyone will receive a bonus of ten times their salary."
"And they also have the right to choose their houses first."
Hearing that there would be a bonus, and quite a lot at that, everyone was quite happy. However, when they heard about the house, they were puzzled.
"Factory manager, our factory's staff housing is already full. Where are we going to find more housing?"
Deputy Factory Director Yan asked doubtfully, "Wouldn't it be difficult if the promised benefits couldn't be delivered?"
"Of course it's a newly built house. Don't worry, I paid for it myself and it's free for everyone to live in."
"I've already contacted the construction team, and I've also applied for and secured that piece of wasteland behind the machinery factory. Everyone will be able to move into new houses soon."
Hearing that they would be moving into a new house, everyone's spirits soared, and they repeatedly promised to work overtime to complete the project.
After the meeting, everyone spread the good news.
Si Yan arranged for the publicity office to issue a notice stating that the newly built housing is a six-story building with a large area and a separate toilet.
All employees of the machinery factory are entitled to this benefit, and the workers who contribute the most to the factory can also choose housing first.
They also notified the construction team that they would be moving in next week, and the construction period is one year.
Thinking that they could move into their new apartment building in just one more year, everyone became much more focused on their work.
Although a notice was later issued that monthly performance evaluations would be conducted, everyone remained highly motivated as long as they thought about the houses.
The publicity office was bustling with activity after the notice was issued, with everyone spontaneously gathering around Lin Youyou.
"Youyou, when it's time to allocate houses, you have to side with our propaganda office. We'll be counting on you to provide us with nice houses in the future."
"That's right, Youyou. You're already outstanding and beautiful, and now you have such a rich mother. You make all of us look like dirt."
"Tell me, if you don't help us, how pitiful we are."
Surrounded by others, Lin Youyou felt a constant buzzing in her ears.
"Alright, alright, my mom specially hired a construction team from Hong Kong. No matter which floor it is, it won't be any different. What's the rush?"
"And I won't disrupt my mother's work schedule. You're all long-time employees at the factory and have made significant contributions, so what's there to be afraid of?"
"I advise everyone to work hard, that's better than anything else. Then everyone will have a good house to live in. Okay, stop crowding around, you can't breathe."
Seeing that Lin Youyou was about to get angry, everyone had no choice but to disperse.
However, Lin Youyou is right; houses built by Hong Kong construction teams are probably all pretty good.
During this period, everyone was extremely enthusiastic about their work, and the finished products of the new fans and refrigerators have even been sent to the city for exhibition.
Because the diesel engine was of great importance, the higher-ups were only notified privately, and several groups of people have visited the machinery factory during this period.
There were even high-ranking officials accompanied by bodyguards.
Just as everyone was envisioning a bright future, the police suddenly arrived at the factory and arrested Si Yan, claiming that someone had reported her as a spy.
This caused an uproar in the factory. The factory workers, especially the technical department workers, did not believe it. If the factory manager was a spy, would he provide the factory with more advanced technology than that from abroad?
Would a spy spend tens of millions of dollars to build new houses for everyone?
Si Yan, who was arrested and taken to the police station, was prepared. She arranged for Deputy Factory Director Yan to call the senior leader who had visited the factory a few days earlier.
It is said that someone with ulterior motives wanted to steal the factory's technology and framed him as a spy.
Upon hearing that Si Yan had been arrested, Lin Youyou burst into tears. At that moment, she used the office landline to call Lu Huai, because she had vaguely heard that Lu Huai had relatives in politics.
"Lu Huai, what should I do? My mother has been arrested by the police. They say they suspect her of being a spy, but that's just slander. Would a spy donate so much money to the country?"
“My mother is a good person; she was slandered.”
Lu Huai was extremely anxious when he heard Lin Youyou crying.
"Youyou, don't cry. Don't worry, Auntie will be fine. Wait for me at the factory, I'll come to find you right away."
"Okay, Lu Huai, I'll be waiting for you."
As for Si Yan, she was taken to a closed interrogation room as soon as she got out of the police car.
"Speak, what is your purpose in coming to An County? What state secrets do you intend to steal?"
[Host, we've found out. It was indeed Liu Qianqian who arranged it. The police chief of An County is her uncle, but he was also deceived. She fabricated some false evidence for him to see.]
Seeing that Si Yan did not respond for a long time, the police officer repeated himself.
Interrupted from her thoughts, Si Yan looked up and calmly met the other person's gaze.
"I'll say it again, I'm not a spy. I'm just a patriotic businessman who wants to build up our country. I hope you can investigate thoroughly before convicting me, okay?"
"You're still trying to deny it. Our director has already collected evidence against you. I advise you to confess and you'll be treated leniently, or you'll be punished severely if you resist."
When Officer Luo saw that Si Yan refused to confess, he was about to increase the intensity of the questioning when a trainee officer carefully advised against it.
"Officer Luo, this use of torture is not in accordance with regulations."
"Regulations, regulations are not made by people. To deal with this kind of spy, we should use extraordinary measures during extraordinary times."
After saying that, Officer Luo picked up his stun gun, ready to teach Si Yan a lesson. Before he could make a move, a roar rang in his ears.
"Let's see who dares!"
