Chapter 420 Meeting
Although Sha Zhu was not convinced, he knew that it was meaningless to continue arguing under such circumstances. He glared at Liu Haizhong fiercely, handed the lunch box to the canteen chef, and then turned around and walked out of the canteen.
Sha Zhu had a dull meal. He knew that Liu Haizhong would not let him off so easily, and his future in the factory would be difficult.
The atmosphere in the steel mill's conference room was so solemn that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it. Workers sat in neat rows, their eyes constantly looking toward the podium in front of the conference room, their voices buzzing as they all speculated about the purpose of this meeting.
Li Huaide sat in the center of the rostrum with a serious expression. The documents in front of him were pressed tightly by his hands, which seemed to carry his importance and dissatisfaction with this meeting. Several factory leaders beside him also had stern expressions, and their eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty.
"Quiet!" Li Huaide slammed the table, the sound echoing in the conference room, instantly stopping the noisy discussions. He cleared his throat, glanced at the people in the audience, and finally fixed his eyes on Sha Zhu, his eyes seemed to be frosty.
"I've called you all here today because I have something very serious to announce." Li Huaide's voice was deep and powerful, and every word was like a bombshell that exploded in the conference room. "Our factory has always emphasized discipline and work style, but some people openly violated the rules and ignored the factory rules!"
At this point, he paused deliberately and looked at Sha Zhu again, his eyes full of accusations: "This Sha Zhu, usually relies on his skills to do whatever he wants in the cafeteria! His work attitude is lax, he is disrespectful to his colleagues, and he often conflicts with others. Just yesterday, the cafeteria was in chaos because of him, which seriously affected the normal order of our factory!"
The workers in the audience began to discuss quietly, and their eyes were all on Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu sat there, his face flushed with anger, his hands clenched tightly into fists, his body trembling slightly with anger. He wanted to stand up and refute, but the worker next to him held him down tightly, signaling him not to be impulsive.
"This kind of behavior is absolutely intolerable!" Li Huaide raised his voice with a hint of anger. "Our steel rolling mill is a united and progressive collective. We cannot let a few bad apples affect our development. Therefore, after research and decision by the factory leaders, Sha Zhu will be criticized and his bonus for this month will be deducted!"
As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar in the meeting room. Some workers showed surprised expressions, while others shook their heads and sighed, as if they felt sorry for Sha Zhu's experience, but did not dare to express different opinions at this time.
Sha Zhu couldn't bear it any longer. He stood up suddenly and shouted, "Li Huaide, you are targeting me on purpose! What you said is slander!"
Li Huaide's face darkened and he said coldly, "Shazhu, you still don't admit your mistakes? You still dare to be stubborn until now? Look at what you have done. How can you be like a qualified worker?"
The two of them were facing each other in the meeting room, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. Seeing this, other factory leaders quickly stood up to mediate and persuaded Sha Zhu to calm down first and solve any problems after the meeting.
Under the persuasion of the crowd, although Sha Zhu was unwilling to accept it, he also knew that continuing to argue in this situation would only make him more passive. He glared at Li Huaide fiercely, then sat down, his eyes full of anger and helplessness.
The meeting ended in a dull atmosphere. The workers left the meeting room one after another, leaving Sha Zhu sitting there alone, unable to calm down for a long time. He knew that the conflict between him and Li Huaide had completely intensified, and his days in the factory would probably be even more difficult in the future.
After the meeting, Sha Zhu returned to the cafeteria in disappointment. The usually bustling kitchen was unusually quiet at this moment, as if even the air had become heavy. He sat down on a stool, holding his head in his hands, feeling aggrieved and angry but unable to vent.
"Zhu Zi, don't take it too seriously." Ma Hua came over carefully and comforted him softly, "Li Huaide is obviously trying to make things difficult for you. We can't just swallow this anger."
Sha Zhu suddenly raised his head and said with red eyes: "Ma Hua, what do you think I should do? This Huai just doesn't like me and finds fault with me everywhere."
Ma Hua frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Master, I heard that Li Huaide has been very close to Liu Haizhong recently. Could it be that Liu Haizhong is behind this and instigated him to do something to you?"
When Sha Zhu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Now that you mention it, it's really possible. I haven't settled the score with Liu Haizhong for what happened in the cafeteria last time, but I didn't expect him to do something shady behind my back!"
Just when Sha Zhu and Ma Hua were discussing how to deal with it, the door of the cafeteria was suddenly pushed open, and Qin Huairu hurried in. Seeing Sha Zhu's frustrated face, Qin Huairu felt distressed.
"Shazhu, I heard that you were criticized at the meeting. What happened?" Qin Huairu walked to Shazhu and asked with concern.
Sha Zhu briefly recounted what happened. After hearing it, Qin Huairu was so angry that she stamped her feet: "This is too much bullying! Sha Zhu, you can't just let it go. Otherwise, let's go to other leaders in the factory to report the situation?"
Sha Zhu shook his head helplessly: "It's useless. Li Huaide is the factory director and he has the final say. Going to other leaders now will only make him hate me even more."
Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu, her eyes full of worry: "What should we do? We can't let you suffer this in vain."
Sha Zhu was silent for a while, then stood up, his eyes revealing a hint of determination: "I won't be defeated so easily. The more they want to punish me, the harder I will work and make some achievements to show them!"
From then on, Sha Zhu came to the canteen early every day and prepared meals more carefully than before. He constantly tried new dishes and improved cooking methods, striving to make every worker eat to their satisfaction.
At the same time, Sha Zhu also began to pay attention to his words and deeds, and tried to avoid conflicts with others. He knew that only by changing himself could he gradually change other people's views of him.
Gradually, the quality of the food in the canteen improved significantly, and the workers' attitude towards Sha Zhu also changed. They began to recognize Sha Zhu's craftsmanship and had more respect for him.
However, the conflict between Sha Zhu and Li Huaide was not resolved. Li Huaide was still dissatisfied with Sha Zhu and would find opportunities to trip him up from time to time. But Sha Zhu was no longer as impulsive as before. He learned to be patient and wait for the right opportunity, ready to give Li Huaide a fatal blow at the right time...
