Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 18
Seeing that Xu Jichang came back so soon, Director Qian nodded in satisfaction, "The work efficiency is quite high, and I'm all busy in just a short while."

"Go, I'll take you to the third workshop."

While talking, the two walked towards the production area where various workshops were located.

Unlike the factory and office buildings whose façades are made of mosaic bricks, the exteriors of each workshop are all red bricks.Each workshop has two doors, one large and one small, for personnel and bulk goods to enter and exit respectively.

It's working time now, and few people come in and out at the workshop door.The sound of rumbling machinery came from inside, and the chimney at the top kept emitting yellow smoke outside for a moment.

Looking at the scattered and large-scale factory buildings, Director Qian showed a proud smile on his face,
"Our factory can be counted among the whole country. You must know that there are not many factories in China that can produce nitrogen fertilizer and urea, and the scale of the only factories is far smaller than ours."

"The state emphasizes that agriculture is based on grain. If you want to harvest more grain, you can't rely entirely on our chemical fertilizer factory."

"Since our factory is so important, I have to work hard to be worthy of the country."

Xu Jichang said.

Director Qian gave him a thumbs up: "That's right, the young man is very enlightened!"

Soon, the two came to the third workshop. Director Qian found a worker and told him to find the workshop director.

The worker ran away immediately, and brought the director of the third workshop here after a short while.

"Director Qian, what do you need from me?"

The director of the third workshop said politely to Director Qian.

"Xiao Zhou, I told you a few days ago that I want to assign a security officer to your workshop, and I brought him here today."

"His name is Xu Jichang. From now on, he will be in charge of all the security work in your workshop."

"Oh, good Director Qian. I will cooperate with Comrade Xu."

"Cooperation alone is not enough, you have to cooperate very much. Your workshop did not have security guards in the past, but now it is the first step. Everything is difficult at the beginning. As the leader of the workshop, you must attach great importance to security work."

"Okay, okay, I remember Director Qian, I will definitely cooperate with Comrade Xu's work very much."

"Okay, then I'm leaving. You will do what you say in the future."

The workshop director was very respectful throughout the whole process, and shook hands with Xu Jichang politely after speaking.

The security department is the real power department of the major factories at present, in charge of the order and supervision of the factory area, and anyone who sees them will respect them three points.What's more, Director Qian showed a very serious attitude today. As a department-level cadre, the workshop director naturally had no choice but to bow his head and obey his ears.

After Director Qian left, the workshop director took the initiative to exchange greetings with Xu Jichang, and introduced the current situation of the workshop to him.

Xu Jichang listened very carefully, paying attention to the truth and falsehood of the workshop director's words.

After listening, he said that Director Zhou was quite honest, and what he said should be true.Of course, no matter how honest the other party was, it was impossible for him to tell him all about the situation.

For example, Director Zhou didn't mention the theft. Of course, it doesn't rule out that he himself really doesn't know about it.

After listening to Director Zhou's report, Xu Jichang did not express his position, neither affirmed nor denied anything, but said that he had understood the situation and thanked him for the information he provided.

Director Zhou said that this is what it should be, and introduced Xu Jichang to get acquainted with the team leaders for a while, and then went to work on his own production work.

The machines in the workshop are rumbling, and the workers are sweating profusely. Everyone exudes water vapor formed by the evaporation of sweat, which gathers together like a cloud of steam.

Xu Jichang, with a swinging stick on his waist, patrolled the workshop back and forth, taking into account the information provided by Director Zhou just now, and looked at everything in the workshop.

There are three production lines in the workshop, each of which has the same structure and is divided into two parts: fertilizer preparation and packaging.In addition to the production line, there is also a conveying group, which is responsible for pushing the trolley to transport the fertilizer.

The labor discipline in the workshop is very strict. Shifts must be handed over at the end of the day. Personnel from the previous shift are not allowed to stay in the workshop, and those who are not on the shift cannot enter early.

It stands to reason that with such a system of prevention, there shouldn't be much room for tricks in the workshop.

Of course, this is only in theory. In fact, after looking at the production log in the workshop, Xu Jichang still found something wrong.

According to the production log, the output of the workshop on most days is close to the lower limit of the expected range, which is not ideal.

It’s okay if it’s like this for a day or two. The weight of each package of fertilizer may fluctuate, and it’s impossible to be 100% accurate.Occasionally, waste and substandard quality may occur during the production process, resulting in low final output.

The problem is that the output of the third workshop is low on most days, which is very interesting. It is likely that someone has dirty hands and feet and stole the fertilizer.Because anyone with a common sense of probability knows that after a large number of repetitions, the result should be close to the expected value, not significantly lower.

Xu Jichang closed the production log and put it back in its original place without saying anything.He was determined to find out who was behind the fertilizer theft in the days to come.

Of course, if you look for it now, you won't be able to find it.I just took office, the thief who stole the fertilizer must be watching me secretly, and will not commit another crime in a short time.

You have to wait a few days to find out the clues after the other party's vigilance is relaxed.

After Xu Jichang made up his strategy, he pretended to glance around the workshop unintentionally, and thought about which section had the most chance of committing crimes.

After thinking about it, he felt that the transportation team should be the most suspected person.

The workshop time management system is strict, and it is not allowed to arrive early or stay after get off work, which means that the perpetrators can only start during working hours.The fertilizer preparation and packaging teams are all on the assembly line at this time, and once they leave their workstations, it will cause product accumulation, which is very obvious.

Delivery groups are different.According to Xu Jichang's observation, they are only busy transporting the finished bags of chemical fertilizer when they have accumulated to a certain extent, and they are free at other times.From this point of view, they have the best chance of committing crimes.

With this in mind, the next investigation will be easy.

After deciding on his train of thought, Xu Jichang patrolled the workshop for a while, and the whole day passed like this.

After get off work in the afternoon, Xu Jichang returned to the office, opened the drawer and put the swing stick in, opened the thermos cup and took a big sip of water, ready to go home.

At this time, a voice came from the door of the office: "I am from the Finance Department, is Comrade Xu Jichang there?"

Xu Jichang turned his head and saw a middle-aged female employee wearing glasses: "I am Xu Jichang, what can I do?"

"You are Xu Jichang, why don't you hurry up and get the money and tickets? We are almost off work here."

The female worker urged after he agreed.

Pick up the money?What money do you get?

Xu Jichang was confused, he only worked for less than a day except for the time required for reporting, so what money can he get?
