Useful and Useless Effects

Zhuang Xiao has worked at Qiansheng Group for ten years in efficiency optimization, calculating human efficiency, cutting redundancies, and increasing production capacity, and the data has never been wrong. Until one day, he himself became "redundant" in the form. After signing the separation agreement, in his pocket was a gourd given to him when he joined the company, with four words engraved on it: Floating in the world. He didn't understand it back then. After losing his job, he discovered that the "efficiency thinking" he was proud of was worthless in the market. He went to visit Lao Zhou, the warehouse manager who had been optimized by him. Lao Zhou was working as a security guard and said something: "The 'useful' in your form is not the same thing as the real 'useful'." Zhuang Xiao began to take over the odd jobs in the small factory—moving shelves, changing routes, and adjusting shifts. No need to write PPT, no need to use Excel to prove anything. I accompany my daughter to draw a green cat, and write down that my wife likes tomato-flavored potato chips. He began to read "Zhuangzi". Later he joined a new factory to manage efficiency. Workers in the workshop are slow to receive materials, the shuttle bus does not arrive at the transfer pond, and goods in the return area are stuck—these things cannot be calculated in the form, but people can see them. He solved them one by one, slowly. The factory is still running and life goes on. Zhuang Xiao knew what the "useful" answer was. This work has been completed. About 370,000 words.
