Volume 1 Chapter 57 Changing the Logistics Director

Coal briquettes are a necessity in every household, so it’s always a good idea to build good relationships with them!

"Aunt, this won't do. It's too expensive."

"Here, you've worked so hard running around, your reward is more than just these few candies."

"Otherwise I'll go get you some hard work pay!"

Grandma Sheng pretended to go to the room to get some money, but the two grown men were startled and quickly stopped her.

"Auntie, please don't."

"Candy is delicious. My son loves candy."

"My wife also likes to eat candy."

When Grandma Sheng heard the two people say this, she let them go.

The two people were completely unable to resist Grandma Sheng's enthusiasm and had to take the candy away.

But in my heart, I thought that I should be more proactive in helping the Sheng family next time, otherwise I would be letting down Grandma Sheng’s enthusiasm.

When Sheng Wanyan returned home, the coal briquettes had already been placed in the corner of the living room. Sheng's mother covered them with a piece of transparent plastic film and weighed down the bottom with a few pieces of firewood to prevent dust from flying around the living room.

Sheng Wanyan did not disappoint her mother's expectations during this period. She brought home a few pounds of meat from time to time, and her mother was happy to see the accumulation of small amounts.

There are many places in the house that need meat at the end of the year. If they were not in the city, they would probably have to bring back half a pig for Sheng Wanze's wedding.

Fortunately, we live in the city, so our family saves a lot of money and doesn’t have to worry about buying meat.

"Your brother is getting married in two months, so I feel relieved now."

And where is the other half? The look in Sheng's mother's eyes as she looked at her spoke for itself.

Sheng Wanyan turned her head away. Ever since her mother knew that she was dating Gu Tingxiao, she had been urging them to get married, both openly and secretly.

But she can understand it, because after this year she will be 21 years old, which really makes her an old girl in this era.

Girls nowadays get married at the age of 17 or 18, and their families generally have the final say in their marriages.

Everything she did was her own choice, and Sheng Wanyan knew in her heart that she was lucky.

At least she was not sent to a family of the best, otherwise she would probably still be struggling with the best.

"Mom, marriage is a big deal, just let it take its course."

She really has no plans to get married at the moment, so she has to be with Gu Tingxiao for a year or so.

What's more, Gu Tingxiao is a soldier, and they can't get along with each other on a regular basis. She doesn't want to get married without thinking.

She has to make sure that the other party agrees with her ideas before she can consider whether to move forward.

After hearing this, Sheng's mother thought about it and didn't say anything to her. After all, Xiao Gu's job was indeed a high-risk one.

It's a good thing that the girl thought it over carefully. The two of them only communicated through letters and never spent much time together, so there's really no need to be too hasty.

Moreover, time will tell what a person’s true character is. After a long time, even the most humble of characters will be exposed.

"Just know it in your heart."

Mother Sheng is selfish. She only thinks about her children and wants her children to live a good life in the future.

As a mother, her child is the driving force behind her efforts, and is everything to her, her life!

"Mom, I know what's going on."

Sheng Wanyan hugged her arms and acted coquettishly. Sometimes, Mother Sheng really couldn't do anything about her.

"Massage my shoulders."

"Okay!"

Mother Sheng lay on the bed, her shoulders frequently massaged by Sheng Wanyan, and they no longer felt the soreness they once did.

Mother Sheng's cervical spine is not in good condition. When she lowers her head for a while, she feels her neck stiff and sore.

It’s much better now. It’s not so tiring to keep my head down at work.

Sheng Wanyan felt bad seeing her mother suffer, so she just wanted to resume business in a few years and open a shop for the old couple where she could just sit there every day.

The work in this factory is really hard.

Nowadays people say that labor is the greatest thing, but people are hungry and cold, and they still have to give their best labor. She really doesn't think it's great.

Sheng Wanyan sighed, and her mother fell asleep under her pressure.

Sheng Wanyan tiptoed out of her mother's room. When her father saw her coming out, he pointed inside and Sheng Wanyan nodded.

The father and daughter have their own secret code words, and they have reached a certain level of tacit understanding.

Sheng Wanyan's life was very boring after that. She would check every day to see if there were any letters for her.

It is very likely that they will return with no hope, but she is not in a hurry, as they may have been delayed on the way.

Sheng Wanyan put all her attention into translation. The more she translated, the more money she would earn.

Sheng Wanyan translated the remaining articles sent by the newspaper in just a few days, but she didn't dare send them out all at once.

She translated too fast and was afraid that others would be suspicious, so she decided to be more cautious.

Sheng Wanyan only sent out 40 articles, and the rest will have to wait until next month.

Sheng Wanyan went to the post office early in the morning. The article she had translated was seriously overweight, so she had to pay extra for the postage.

"One dollar."

Sheng Wanyan took out a dollar and handed it to the post office staff, then rode her bike to work.

However, as soon as she arrived at the factory, she was shocked by Wu Jiaxiu's gossip.

Wu Jiaxiu is simply a little news expert, she knows all kinds of news.

"Wanyan, have you heard?"

"Our head of logistics department has been replaced."

Wu Jiaxiu lowered her voice and shared with her the latest first-hand information.

"ah?"

Sheng Wanyan was a little confused. She had met this director of the logistics department several times. He looked honest and was a man who got things done. Why was he replaced?

"Let me tell you, I heard that the father of the director of the logistics department is an old professor, and he was reported by his own students."

"The director of the logistics department was unwilling to sever ties with my father, so he had no choice but to accompany him to the lower levels..."

"The wife of the director of the logistics department is making a big fuss. She says she'll divorce him if he doesn't break off the relationship."

"As a result, the director of the logistics department really divorced her yesterday."

Sheng Wanyan frowned when she heard this. What was going on?

The director of the logistics department is a practical man. He is kind and filial, and is very easy-going towards his subordinates.

With this sudden change of leadership, she felt that things were not that simple.

Moreover, she felt that the cotton mill would no longer be able to maintain such harmony from now on.

Her small position will not bring any practical changes, but the power held by the director of the logistics department will affect everyone's welfare.

I'm afraid you'll have to suffer in the future. This kind of leader who comes from nowhere is the most difficult to get along with, and his background is the least clear.

"I heard that the new director of logistics will come to work the day after tomorrow."

"And I heard he was from Kyoto."

Wu Jiaxiu looked around to see if there was anyone around, then lowered her voice and told her something that could not be told to anyone else.

"I heard that the new director of the logistics department was demoted."

"He seems to be a bit... a hooligan..."

"But because of his family background, he was demoted."

Sheng Wanyan sighed inwardly when she heard this, but she was just an ordinary worker and nothing would happen if she just went to work quietly.

"Let's be more obedient at work during this time."

"Don't get caught."

Wu Jiaxiu nodded when she heard her words. After all, a new official has three things to do when he takes office. Who knows if this fire will burn him?

It's always better to be cautious.
