But Qiu Jingwen felt that this hope was slim. He was certain that Liu Han was blackmailing him, and he did not want such a thing to happen.

If Liu Han really has a telegram from Taiwan, it means that he has indeed made contact with Taiwan. In that case, the infiltrative team may have been fully activated, and there will be more and more troubles. The mission that Liu Han mentioned will also be launched and implemented.

Although he didn't know the specifics, he knew that as a spy, Liu Han would definitely not let him off the hook and would force him to do bad things. After all, he was the workshop director of the Red Flag Factory, and he was the best candidate to steal military data or obtain confidential product parameters.

There are three middle-level managers in Workshop 3.

There is one director and two deputy directors. The director is responsible for all work, while the two deputy directors, Zheng Yanshi and Jin Dahai, are in charge of safety and quality, respectively. Qiu Jingwen has his own office, while the two deputy directors share an office.

After Qiu Jingwen hung up the phone, he looked through the monthly report that Zhang Xiaohui had handed him. Just as he finished reading the report and signed it, Deputy Director Jin Dahai knocked on the door and came in.

He sat down in the chair opposite Qiu Jingwen and reported on some recent thoughts regarding workshop quality work and management.

After listening to the report, Qiu Jingwen suggested that his suggestion be discussed at the next team leader meeting, and then a specific plan be formulated for implementation. If it proves effective, it should be reported to the factory for promotion.

After finishing their work discussion, Qiu Jingwen handed Jin Dahai a Pegasus cigarette and lit one for himself as well.

Jin Dahai struck a match, lit it for Qiu Jingwen first, and then used the remaining embers to light his own.

The workshop leaders' offices are not located inside the production plant, but outside the production area, next to the administrative office building. Therefore, smoking in the office does not violate the rules and regulations, but there are no-smoking signs everywhere in the production area.

The two men took a few puffs of their cigarettes, and Qiu Jingwen gazed at Jin Dahai.

"Jin Dahai, I have a personal matter I'd like to ask for your help with."

Upon hearing that the director had a personal matter he needed help with, Jin Dahai immediately flicked his cigarette ash into the ashtray and then looked at Qiu Jingwen with a serious expression.

"Director Qiu, I, Jin Dahai, was able to become the deputy director thanks to your promotion. As long as it is something I can do, I will do it, even if it means going through fire and water."

Qiu Jingwen quickly waved his hand and smiled.

“Jin Dahai, your deputy director position, I am just making a suggestion. The final decision rests with the factory leaders. Besides, your work ability and sense of responsibility are evident to all.”

"Director Qiu, I know very well that without you, I wouldn't have been promoted so quickly. Please continue to call me Dahai as before; it makes me feel comfortable."

In a sense, Jin Dahai's promotion as deputy director was directly related to Qiu Jingwen.

Jin Dahai was promoted to deputy director by Qiu Jingwen. Without Qiu Jingwen's strong recommendation, Jin Dahai, who had only served as a section chief for more than three years, would not have been promoted to deputy director so quickly.

It's important to know that at the Hongqi Factory, there were many section chiefs who had been in their positions for eight or ten years and were still just section chiefs, and some even stayed in that position until retirement.

With Jin Dahai's positive attitude, Qiu Jingwen got straight to the point.

"Dahai, how's things going with you?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Dahai immediately understood Qiu Jingwen's meaning: he was asking if Jin Dahai had any spare money.

"Director Qiu, I'm alright. I have some money to spare and a little savings."

As he spoke, he looked at Qiu Jingwen and asked:

"Director, do you urgently need money?"
