After the company's suspension and rectification was over, Li Yan went to the third floor of the headquarters to arrange production.

There were originally forty mechanics in the second workshop, most of whom were Manager Wang’s fellow villagers. After learning that Manager Wang had escaped, some resigned and there were twenty-two people at work on the first day.

Among them is Luo Mengchang, who is more familiar to Li Yan. Many years ago, the two worked together in the south. Because of their similar personalities, they had a very good relationship.

"There are eighteen cameras left, I can fill them all with just a call." Luo Mengchang was not tall, thin, but very righteous.

"Wait first, what if those people come again tomorrow, they may also go to other companies to help, and they will not be able to come back for a while."

"It shouldn't be, their bedding has been removed."

"It's better to wait for two days," Li Yan patted Luo Mengchang: "If you have any difficulties in working here, just tell me, and I will react to the boss."

"There is no difficulty. We have been working outside all year round, and we have never eaten any hardships. The conditions in this factory are OK, the food is good, and there is meat for every meal, which is very rare." Luo Mengchang's dark face was satisfied.

"Director Li, I have difficulties." Sun Haoran said.

Li Yan knew that he was a celebrity of Manager Wang and became king in the second workshop, so everyone gave in to him.

"What are the difficulties?" Li Yan asked.

"I want a couple room. Didn't Manager Wang run away? His single dormitory is idle. I want to move over!"

"Haha," Li Yan smiled: "I'll fight for it in front of the boss, it's probably more difficult."

"You tell the boss that if I don't give that dormitory, I will stop doing it and will take ten people away." Sun Haoran said in a threatening tone.

"Sun Haoran wants to live in a single room, so we want it!" one of the big mechanics shouted.

"Why do you want to mention me in a single room? Just making a fool of yourself!"

"Who is making trouble? Tell you that Manager Wang is gone, you should calm down, otherwise you will have to beat you up!" The big mechanic angrily scolded.

"What do I have to do with you in the single room? You want to beat me up, are you looking for trouble?" Sun Haoran stood up from his seat, and four or five people next to him picked up big scissors.

The big mechanic did not show any weakness and picked up the stool. Five or six people followed him up, including Luo Mengchang.

When Li Yan saw that the situation was wrong, if there was a conflict, the consequences would be unimaginable, he quickly stepped forward to dissuade him: "Everyone is leaving his family and business to make money, not to fight! There are parents and children waiting for you to send money in my hometown. Sun Haoran, please let them put down their scissors, Luo Mengchang, please let them put down their stools, hurry up, otherwise I will call the police!"

Luo Mengchang first put down the stool and took off the stool of the big mechanic.

Sun Haoran put down his scissors and waved his hands to several fellow villagers.

Both sides looked at each other and both put down their weapons.

"Everyone sends out a piece of paper and writes the difficulties on the paper." Li Yan took out a stack of paper from the drawer of the desk, and each handed it.

Half an hour later, Li Yan took back the paper and looked carefully at the words written on it.

Most of them need a couple’s relationship, while others say that taking a bath is inconvenient and there is no hot water to wash clothes.

Li Yan responded to the workers' request to his boss Zhang Zhanhao.

Zhang Zhanhao frowned: "Where are so many rooms? If not, forget it, it's almost the end of the year anyway, let them go if they want to leave!"

"Mr. Zhang, only they can do silk down jackets from Fengwu Group. We local mechanics can't make such high-end goods at all. I think we should think of a way, even if we divide a space into four miniature dormitories." Li Yan said.

"They originally had three dormitories, plus the two of Manager Zhao and Manager Wang, a total of five, each converted into four small dormitories, which can accommodate twenty couples." The boss nodded after he finished his calculations: "Yes, I'll find a carpenter tomorrow and buy wooden boards to make partitions."

There was no overtime work at night, so Li Yan made an appointment with Luo Mengchang and went to the restaurant to have dinner together.

"The accommodation problem that Manager Wang has not been able to solve for several months. It was solved on the first day of your tenure. Everyone is grateful to you." Luo Mengchang said.

"It's really time to solve it. Six and seven couples live in the same dormitory, and relying on a few curtains to cover their privacy is not a long-term solution." Li Yan put the dishes in: "Try this one, the Southern chef."

"Well, I've eaten here, and the taste is quite suitable for me," said Luo Mengchang. "There are too many people in the dormitory that affect rest. Some people don't sleep at night and make all kinds of noises, especially in our dormitory, most of them are young couples. After you sing, I'm very lively and can't fall asleep before two in the morning. I'm older than them, so I'm not as energetic as them. I feel dizzy when I go to work every day."

"Then re-adjust the dormitory this time and take into account the age factor."

"Thank you, this is considered to be a care for me. You are very careful and capable, and you are a good management." Luo Mengchang praised.

"I've been over the award. I found that your wife's sewing skills have improved a lot compared to before. I remember that she only knew how to make libu before."

"Yes, at the beginning, she didn't know how to mount a sewing machine. I taught her step by step. After so many years of practice, her skills are getting better and better. In fact, I don't want to take her out to work. It's very troublesome to have a woman follow her."

Li Yan smiled bitterly: "It is okay to live in two places for a year or two, but problems will arise over time. I feel deeply that after going out to work for several years, my wife has become someone else's."

"Ah?" Luo Mengchang asked in surprise: "Did you get divorced?"

"Well," Li Yan nodded helplessly and said, "The truth is so cruel."

"It's a pity. I remember we worked together in the south. You and your wife were on the phone for up to two hours. Then you would just take her out."

"I had such an idea at the beginning, but she had a bad relationship with my parents and was unwilling to let their parents take care of their children."

"Hey!" Luo Mengchang sighed: "There are similar situations among my fellow villagers. I learned from my own mistakes and others became wise. Now those who come out to work take their wives, and even take their children to go to school on the spot, so that they have no worries."

"If you want to rent a house with your children, you can't live in a couple's room. I found that there are many people from outsiders who take care of their children in Shuixiu Village. Two or three families rent a courtyard together, which is not bad." Li Yan said.

"In general, the cost of raising children will be much higher. Food, clothing, housing and transportation will cost tens of thousands of yuan a year, which is equivalent to the money earned by one of the couple for family expenses."

"The labor cost in Chuncheng in the past two years has increased a lot compared to the original one, and he can earn more than 10,000 yuan in busy months."

"There are still times when you are not busy. You can not earn so much every month," Luo Mengchang smiled. "After we, the machinists from other provinces, worked overtime to increase production, and at the same time led local machinists. On the surface, they made more money, but you can't understand the hardships. We have to bring some handicrafts to eat at noon. You don't know this, right?"

"Haha, what manual work can you do during lunch?" Li Yan couldn't laugh or cry.

"Flip the cover, use a machine to make the cover when you go to work, turn it over in the dormitory after get off work. Each piece of clothing has many covers. Don't underestimate the little bit of time when eating, you can do a lot of work!" Luo Mengchang said seriously.

"My God! So we didn't do this when we worked together?" Li Yan was very surprised.
