Chapter 542 Who Thinks It Matters
Watching Cai Quanwu's departing figure, the Third Uncle recalled their conversation.
Although he didn't achieve his goal, he had initially approached it with a "what the heck" mentality, so he wasn't too disappointed.
Cai Quanwu didn't completely refuse, saying that they would talk about it later if there was an opportunity.
With that said, the Third Uncle felt that once the storm had passed, he could find an opportunity to talk to Cai Quanwu and give him a heads-up.
Once Cai Quanwu's figure had completely disappeared from sight, the Third Uncle glanced at the sky, decided not to linger, and turned to go home for dinner.
So, the third uncle put his hands behind his back, turned around, and walked slowly toward the courtyard.
"Old Yan, Old Yan, wait a minute..."
After walking a few steps, the old man heard shouts coming from behind him.
Hearing someone call his name, the third uncle stopped and turned around to see that it was the second uncle.
Seeing his second uncle running towards him, the third uncle couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"They wouldn't want to talk to me about Cai Quanwu, would they?"
While the third uncle was wondering why the second uncle had called him back, the second uncle quickened his pace and ran to the third uncle's side.
Looking at the second uncle panting heavily in front of him, the third uncle thought to himself: "He's out of breath after running just a few steps. In the old days, he probably couldn't even outrun the Japanese soldiers."
Then I realized that my bangs weren't this chubby before, and I must have been thinking the wrong thing.
It seems that everyone's life is getting better now.
In the past, people at the bottom of society were lucky if they didn't starve to death; it was impossible for them to get this fat.
After complaining about Uncle Er for a bit, and once he caught his breath, Uncle San asked with a smile, "Old Liu, is there something you need?"
When the Third Uncle asked, the Second Uncle took a deep breath, calmed down, and nodded, saying, "Well, I have something I'd like to ask you, Old Yan."
"Alright, Lao Liu, then ask away." The Third Uncle listened attentively to the Second Uncle's words.
Seeing this, the second uncle didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "Old Yan, you know about Cai Quanwu's matter, right?"
When Uncle Er mentioned Cai Quanwu, Uncle San knew he had guessed correctly.
The third uncle remained calm, glanced at the second uncle without making a sound, and then nodded to indicate that he understood.
Seeing that the third uncle nodded silently, looking completely calm, the second uncle felt a little incredulous.
According to Second Uncle, Third Uncle shouldn't have been so calm after hearing the news.
Even if they don't utter a few curses, they should at least show some resentment.
But the old man's current behavior is completely different from what he expected.
Was my meaning not clear enough, and Uncle San failed to understand?
This should be!
After thinking it over for a while, the second uncle decided to be more direct: "Old Yan, don't you think there's a problem with this?"
After saying that, he looked at the third uncle with anticipation.
Second Uncle felt he had made himself very clear this time, and Third Uncle should understand the meaning behind his words.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!
It seemed that the third uncle hadn't understood what the second uncle meant. He maintained his cheerful demeanor and calmly asked, "Problem? What problem? What's the problem?"
While asking the second uncle a question, the third uncle silently cursed inwardly: "You think you're so smart? I don't know there's a problem? But is this something we can just say whatever we want?"
Cai Quanwu was selected as an outstanding worker; this was a collective decision!
When do you, an ordinary worker, have the right to question collective decisions?
They just live in the same courtyard, not in the same workplace.
Do you know how others perform at work?
In fact, the Third Uncle knew that the Second Uncle's statement about the problem of Cai Quanwu being named an outstanding worker was out of jealousy.
He was jealous too.
Jealousy is one thing, but keep it to yourself and don't say it out loud.
Some things can be said, and some things cannot be said!
The third uncle knew perfectly well that Cai Quanwu's selection as an outstanding worker was something that couldn't be talked about everywhere.
How do you know there's a problem?
If you say there's a problem, then you need to provide evidence!
Otherwise, that would be slander!
If others find out, they might turn around and bite you back, which would be a serious matter.
If someone accuses you of having problematic thinking, you might lose your job.
When the Third Uncle learned that Cai Quanwu had been named an outstanding worker, he was also extremely jealous.
He just wasn't as outspoken as his second uncle.
Some things are better left unsaid; you can only think about them in your heart.
When the Third Uncle stopped Cai Quanwu, he simply congratulated him on being named an outstanding worker and also looked for an opportunity to take advantage of him.
As for how Cai Quanwu was recognized as an outstanding worker, the old man didn't mention it at all.
Some things are better left unsaid.
The second uncle had no idea what the third uncle was thinking, and was momentarily stunned by the third uncle's question.
Coming to his senses, the second uncle became a little anxious and cursed the third uncle in his heart.
Yan Laokou, what are you pretending for here?
You're asking me what the problem is?
The biggest problem is that Cai Quanwu was awarded the title of outstanding worker!
What qualifications does he have to be named an outstanding worker?
Don't you, Yan Laokou, know who Cai Quanwu is?
If Cai Quanwu is qualified to be named an outstanding worker, then I, Liu Haizhong, am also qualified to be named an outstanding worker!
After cursing Uncle San in his heart, Uncle Er began to reflect: Maybe Uncle San didn't understand what he meant.
After thinking about it, I realized that my meaning was quite clear, and that Uncle San should understand.
What went wrong?
Is the old man in front of me the same old man I know?
After reflecting for a while, the second uncle still couldn't figure out where the problem lay.
So, the second uncle stopped hiding it and made his point clear:
"Old Yan, I don't think Cai Quanwu is qualified to be an outstanding worker. What do you think?"
Hearing the second uncle make his point clear, the third uncle stopped pretending to be stupid and instead put away his smile, asking again with a serious expression, "Old Liu, do you think our opinions matter?"
The third uncle's question touched upon a reality that the second uncle was unwilling to face, causing the second uncle's face to flush red, and he blurted out:
"How can it not be important? Isn't the selection of outstanding workers supposed to take into account the opinions of the masses?"
"I haven't seen anyone come to the hospital to listen to my opinions, so how did Cai Quanwu get selected as an outstanding worker?"
Hearing the second uncle's reckless words, the third uncle curled his lip in disdain and said irritably, "How do you know that others haven't listened to the opinions of the masses?"
Are you part of the masses, but everyone else isn't?
Why do I have to listen to your opinion?
Is this because he's been a big shot for too long and really thinks he's someone important?
Have they forgotten how they got their position as the manager?
When should appointments at the top always require taking everyone's opinions into account?
As long as most people agree, it's fine; it doesn't have to be you!
Besides, how do you know they didn't listen to the opinions of the masses?
You're at work, and so are everyone else. Do we have to wait until you're in the courtyard to hear the opinions of the people?
That's ridiculous!
