"Say it quickly!"

"Talk about it!"

This man waved his hand to signal everyone to listen to him quietly, but now his voice was not quiet at all.

"You haven't seen that human life is worthless. The educated boys are waiting one by one. The leaders of the factory wish that a few more people would die so that they could free up..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

The office secretary who came with the leader to offer condolences couldn't bear it anymore when he saw the leader's livid face, and walked into the courtyard to scold him.

"Who are you?"

At this moment, the people in the courtyard were all old men and old ladies. They were shocked by the news, but unexpectedly, a young man wearing a Chinese tunic suit suddenly came in.

The secretary frowned and asked, "Who said those words just now?"

We all saw him wearing a Chinese tunic suit. Who would admit that he said those words?

Even a fool knows that those words cannot be said in person. At this moment, the group of people were all silent and avoiding the secretary's eyes.

Seeing that no one responded, the secretary pointed at everyone and said seriously: "This is spreading rumors. Do you know about rumors? It is against the law and you will go to jail!"

"Secretary Jiang!"

Yang Yuansong walked into the courtyard with a group of people.

He reached out and patted the secretary on the shoulder, signaling him to stop talking, and introduced himself in a pleasant manner.

"I am the Secretary of the Supervisory Committee of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, and my name is Yang Yuansong."

When everyone saw that this man was also wearing a Chinese tunic suit and came in with so many people, they did not doubt his identity.

Especially when he was threatened by Secretary Jiang from before, he was even more frightened.

"Hehehe"

Yang Yuansong sat down next to an older man, beat his legs and said: "I am forty-seven this year, which is younger than most of you here."

Everyone looked at Yang Yuansong with some evasion, but did not change their attitude because of his close actions and words.

The secretary's previous threats were one thing, and what the young man said was also another thing.

The people in this courtyard all have sons and daughters working in factories, so who would want to put a white note on their door?

Yang Yuansong looked at the expressions of these people's bitterness and hatred, and knew that Li Xuewu's warning was accurate.

"Haha, if I say I am young, I am comparing myself to you."

Yang Yuansong beat his legs and said: "The earthquake came this morning. I was so frightened that my knees fell directly to the ground, haha."

"Hehehe"

After hearing Yang Yuansong's words, everyone started to laugh.

People are all like this. They worry not about scarcity but about inequality.

Our family has become like this, our family members have been hurt like this, why should your leaders be so good?

Seeing everyone laughing, Yang Yuansong relaxed and knew that he could open up the situation.

"I was scared to death. I was really afraid that I wouldn't be able to see the sun today."

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the sky. The sun was rising as usual.

Everyone in the courtyard thought back to the darkest moment this morning. Isn't it the mood that the leader said now?

"But this fall woke me up. After I woke up, I no longer thought about whether I could live or not."

Yang Yuansong looked at these people standing or sitting and said: "Because there are more than 10,000 employees in the factory who are like me and are also in fear of the earthquake."

"Secretary Yang..."

"I know"

Yang Yuansong waved his hand and interrupted the man in the courtyard, saying: "Everyone is indeed equal before the earthquake. We are all afraid, we are all afraid, and we all want to hear the latest news."

As he spoke, he glanced at the people around him and said, "But we are all old people, old workers, and even old supervisors. We always have this little trust in the steel rolling mill."

The people around him lowered their heads, avoiding Yang Yuansong's gaze and not daring to look directly at him.

"Rolling steel does not belong to one person, it belongs to the public, and it is the home of all workers in the steel rolling mill. Who dares to treat the workers in the steel rolling mill like this?"

"Then...what's the news last night?"

You are still a young newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. How dare you ask the leader when he is giving a speech.

At this moment, everyone in the courtyard looked at Yang Yuansong, and those who came in to offer condolences also looked at the secretary.

Everyone knew the "inside story", and they were all worried about the current secretary, and they all complained about the young man who asked the question just now.

"I did receive the warning message"

Yang Yuansong is an old cadre who was there before liberation. How come he doesn't know that blocking is worse than sparing.

At this time, the secretary or the main committee member is not a soft bread. You can squeeze it as much as you want. They all have profound ability to work with the masses.

Yang Yuansong also worked as a prisoner instructor before taking over the steel rolling mill, which was an even more challenging job.

Dealing with this rumor-like problem is not a piece of cake.

Seeing the surprised expressions of the people in the courtyard, and the unconvinced and provocative eyes of the young man, Yang Yuansong did not hide anything, nor did he get angry.

"We did receive news of the earthquake before ten o'clock last night. It was Li Xuewu, deputy director of the Security Department, who made the judgment based on the reactions of chickens, horses, and mice."

After hearing Yang Yuansong describe the specific person and the basis for his judgment, everyone in the courtyard couldn't help but begin to listen to what Yang Yuansong said.

This is an important step in establishing a foundation of trust. If you want others to listen to you, you have to make them trust you.

"That young man, the news you heard probably came from near Director Li's house."

Yang Yuansong ignored the sudden change in the young man's expression, but looked at everyone and continued: "According to work procedures, Deputy Director Li reported the matter to the leader in charge, Li Huaide, who is also the deputy director of the steel rolling mill."

"I know"

There are still people in the courtyard who know the names of the leaders of the factory. When they heard Yang Yuansong speak, they also followed suit.

"That Li Xuewu is the tiger of the security department!"

"Hahaha"

Yang Yuansong did not expect that Li Xuewu's name was more famous than his own.

"Yes, it's the Tiger of the Security Department!"

Yang Yuansong nodded at the young man and affirmed with a smile.

This certainty made the young man shrink his shoulders and take a step back in embarrassment.

But his face was full of pride, like a primary school student who answered the question correctly.

"In the report, Deputy Director Li did intend to inform everyone."

Yang Yuansong looked at everyone with certainty and said, "But I was persuaded by Deputy Director Li."

Regardless of the changes in the expressions of these people caused by his words, Yang Yuansong continued: "Deputy Director Li's consideration is right."

Amid the puzzled looks of everyone, Yang Yunsong explained: "Our factory has more than 10,000 people, including family members, there are 70,000 to 80,000 people, almost 100,000 people."

Everyone's eyes widened when they heard this. They didn't usually think so, but now they were shocked when they heard what Secretary Yang said.

The steel rolling mill they relied on for survival did not expect to be of such a large scale.

"Everyone think about it, there are tens of thousands of people, how can we move you just because of a chicken, horse, or mouse guess!"

At this point, Yang Yuansong stood up, looked at everyone and said: "Here, on behalf of the leadership team of the steel rolling mill, I would like to apologize to everyone. It is because we did not think carefully and did not expect that an earthquake would really happen."

After speaking, Yang Yuansong bowed deeply.

This shocked the people in the courtyard. Everyone stood up one after another, and even the older man gave Yang Yuansong a hand.

"Secretary Yang, I don't blame you for this!"

The old man waved his hands to the neighbors and said: "Anyone can lay off the news in hindsight, but if it is left to us, who can believe this kind of news!"

"yes!"

A tall and thin old man standing on the side said with emotion: "No one is a god. There are thousands and thousands of people, boundless. Where can so many people be resettled? The earthquake will be over before the resettlement is completed."

"Hahaha"

Everyone in the courtyard laughed when they heard this, thinking to themselves that this was really what happened.

Tens of thousands of people, from notification to organization to resettlement, it was almost dawn.

Seeing Yang Yuansong admitting the facts, explaining, and apologizing, everyone's resentment came out.

Yang Yuansong looked at these people and said: "Deputy Factory Director Li, after coordinating with our factory leadership team, placed the most basic range of warning and rescue preparations on the security department."

After talking a little bit, he asked himself what he had just said, and it was obviously the young man who delivered the news, and said: "What he said about the guards acting like crazy is not that he is crazy, haha."

"Ha ha!"

Everyone's emotions were also aroused by Yang Yuansong at this moment. When he laughed, everyone laughed too.
