Chapter 215 Newcomer

The next morning, Gu Yihan finished breakfast, picked up her handbag, and left.

When she arrived at the textile factory, she pushed open the office door and found that she didn't recognize anyone inside.

I immediately stepped back, closed the door, looked up, and saw the sign on the door that read "Accounting Department."

"Xiaohan? What are you looking at?"

Hu Shan followed Gu Yihan's gaze and saw that there was nothing on the door.

Gu Yihan muttered to herself, "Didn't we go the wrong way?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Shan couldn't help but laugh: "It can't be wrong."

After saying that, he pushed open the office door and found two unfamiliar women inside.

A knowing glint flashed in her eyes; no wonder Gu Yihan thought she had gone to the wrong place.

Although she didn't recognize him, she had heard Secretary Jiang mention his name before.

She smiled and went up to them to greet them: "Good morning, Sister Limin and Sister Guixiang."

Zhang Limin and Wang Guixiang greeted Hu Shan with smiles.

Seeing that Hu Shan and the other two were chatting happily, Gu Yihan didn't greet the two new colleagues and went straight back to her seat.

"Crunch."

Minjie stepped into the office and saw two strangers, her brows furrowing.

He said irritably, "Who are you? Don't you know you can't just barge into the accounting office?"

Zhang Limin and Wang Guixiang exchanged a glance, smiled, and said in unison, "We are the new accountants."

Upon hearing this, Minjie's face paled slightly. She pursed her lips and nodded to the two of them.

Gu Yihan smiled slightly when she saw that the two women only said they were accountants and didn't introduce themselves. Secretary Jiang really had a good way with words.

Using her salary increase as an opportunity, they gave everyone in the accounting office a hard time.

noon

Staff canteen

Minjie carried the food box and sat down next to Gu Yihan. Her voice trembled as she said, "Xiaohan, Sister Su really isn't coming back."

Gu Yihan said irritably, "Didn't you already know that?"

How could she not see it?

Min-jie saw that a new person was coming to take over Su-jie's job, so she wanted to stick together with her for mutual support and also help out the new colleague.

That's hilarious.

Minjie had such a big argument with Su Yonghong about getting a raise. She'll never be able to align herself with him.

When Minjie saw that Gu Yihan didn't want to talk to her, she didn't blame her.

"Xiao Han, we've all been used by Secretary Jiang."

"We two must help each other now, otherwise Xiaohan might be the next one to leave."

Gu Yihan closed the lunchbox, stood up, smiled at Sister Min, and said, "Sister Min, please take your time eating."

After saying that, he walked straight out of the cafeteria and headed towards his office.

When Hu Shan saw Gu Yihan return, she froze and swallowed the food in her mouth.

She said, "Xiao Han, why are you eating so fast?"

She brought her own lunch, yet she wasn't as fast as Gu Yihan, who ate in the cafeteria.

Gu Yihan shook the lunchbox in her hand at Hu Shan and laughed, "If you haven't washed the lunchbox, it'll be ready soon!"

Hu Shan said "Oh" and continued eating lunch.

Gu Yihan put the lunchbox into her handbag and casually asked, "Sister Shan, do you have your own office now?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Shan angrily slammed the lid of her lunchbox shut, making a crisp scraping sound, and gritted her teeth, saying, "When it's my turn, there won't be any extra offices."

"Just because Zhang Limin was an accountant transferred from a garment factory in the provincial capital, an office was specially reserved for her..."

He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

She looked at Gu Yihan with an embarrassed expression: "Xiaohan, don't take it to heart. She is in charge of the factory's cooperation with the provincial capital."

Gu Yihan smiled and said nonchalantly, "Sister Shan, I'll just focus on doing my job well and won't worry about anything else."

afternoon

Just as Hu Shan had predicted, only Wang Guixiang returned, and she sat directly in Su Yonghong's seat.

The office was quiet all afternoon. Minjie wanted to talk to Gu Yihan alone, but couldn't find an excuse.

As it was nearing the end of the workday, Secretary Jiang pushed open the door to the accountant's office.

He looked at Gu Yihan with a smile and said, "Officer Gu, could you please guide the new Officer Wang if she doesn't understand anything?"

Gu Yihan lowered her head, not even lifting her eyelids, and said coldly, "Secretary Jiang, I'm not familiar with Sister Su's work, so I'm afraid I can't guide Director Wang."

Secretary Jiang's expression gradually turned cold. He had already given Gu Yihan a way out, but she refused to take it.

Upon hearing Gu Yihan's words, Sister Min immediately looked up at Secretary Jiang and saw his face turn cold, causing her to catch her breath.

She was genuinely afraid that Secretary Jiang might take his anger out on innocent people like them if he was unhappy.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the office was not right, Wang Guixiang quickly tried to smooth things over: "Secretary Jiang, you underestimate me too much. I have been an accountant for so many years."

Secretary Jiang gave a soft "hmm," glanced at Gu Yihan who was reading with her head down, and turned to leave.

Secretary's Office

Factory Director Yang pushed open the door and entered, looking at Secretary Jiang behind the desk, and asked, "Little Jiang? Did you talk to Director Gu?"

Secretary Jiang paused in rubbing her temples, sighed, and said, "I didn't have time to say it."

He was so angry that he forgot he had something to say to Gu Yihan.

"Then you'd better hurry. Our foreign friends really like the clothes designed by the garment factory and have requested additional styles," Director Yang urged.

Secretary Jiang glanced at the time on her wrist; it was almost time to leave work, and she was running out of time.

"Let's talk to Officer Gu about this tomorrow."

Factory Director Yang didn't think too much about it. He chatted with Secretary Jiang for a while, then checked the time and realized it was time to get off work.

He immediately said to Secretary Jiang, "Little Jiang, Uncle Yang is leaving now."

After saying that, he ran away in a flash.

Secretary Jiang watched Director Yang's retreating figure and gritted her teeth, saying, "Who exactly is the factory director?!"

He works himself to the bone to increase the factory's production and sales, while he lives a more carefree life than anyone else.

Family compound

At the entrance of the courtyard

"sister in law"

Gu Yihan had just stopped her bicycle when she heard Zhang Xia call her, so she stopped in her tracks.

Zhang Xia walked to Gu Yihan's side and whispered, "Sister-in-law, my mother has always been straightforward and has no bad intentions."

"Comrade Zhang, your mother didn't mean any harm, you should be happy!" Gu Yihan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, a hint of helplessness flashed in Zhang Xia's eyes.

He then smiled slightly at Gu Yihan.

She said softly, "Sister-in-law, you don't know what kind of person my dad is. He hits people if he's even slightly upset."

“This time, because of work, he hits my mom every day.”

"Could you please put in a good word for my mother with the factory leaders, for my sake?"

"cannot."

After Gu Yihan finished speaking, she quickly walked into the courtyard.

With a "snap," the courtyard gate slammed shut.

That's hilarious! They're only doing it because of her; they're so shameless.

Courtyard gate

Zhang Xia's smile froze. She knew that this path was not working, and she had to think of another way to reconnect with her family.

Ever since the birth of her daughter, Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother has given her a cold shoulder every day.

She now realizes how foolish it was to refuse a bride price and sever ties with her family.
