Volume 1 Chapter 62 First Visit to the City

I absolutely cannot afford to offend her, so I can only smile and congratulate Sheng Wanyan.

"It's my duty to contribute to the country and the cotton mill."

Sheng Wanyan was afraid that she would be hated by others, so she attributed the whole job to her contribution to the country.

When everyone heard Sheng Wanyan's words, they could only secretly think that she understood the ways of the world and would not take any credit or benefits for herself.

Sheng Wanyan left the Propaganda Department carrying a cloth bag, and everyone could only look at her back with envy as she left.

Sheng Wanyan went to the leader's office building and waited. After a while, Director Li came out with the factory director and his secretary.

"Comrade Wanyan, get on the passenger seat."

Director Li gave her instructions before getting in the car, and Sheng Wanyan nodded and got on the passenger seat.

The factory director's secretary was driving, and the factory director and Director Li were sitting in the back seat. An ordinary employee of her level could not sit in the back seat with the leaders.

"Is this Comrade Sheng Wanyan from your department?"

The factory manager was a very serious man, wearing a well-fitting suit and having his hair combed back.

Sheng Wanyan's name had been mentioned by the factory leaders, and they liked her monthly promotional slogans very much.

If Director Li just gives a few more compliments, won't Sheng Wanyan become famous among the leaders?

Director Li is not stupid, although he also doesn't want Sheng Wanyan to overshadow him.

But he knew that having such a powerful person under his command would be of great benefit to him.

At least the leaders are satisfied with the work of the Propaganda Department, which means they are satisfied with him.

He will definitely be considered for promotion next time. Sheng Wanyan's length of service will not threaten his position.

Therefore, he is also willing to praise Sheng Wanyan more in front of his leaders, so that his work will be recognized by his leaders. Why not do it?

"Yes, Director."

"This is Comrade Sheng Wanyan from our department."

The factory manager nodded thoughtfully. This girl was neither humble nor arrogant, which was quite interesting.

Sheng Wanyan turned around and greeted him politely.

"Hello, Director. I'm Sheng Wanyan."

"Yes, you have such a talented person in your Propaganda Department. In the future, the factory's propaganda must be more inspiring."

Director Li nodded and agreed quickly: "Yes, yes, it will definitely motivate the workers when they see it."

The factory manager nodded and didn't say anything else. He pinched his eyebrows and seemed a little tired.

The factory director's secretary saw through the rearview mirror that the factory director looked tired and kindly reminded him to take a rest.

"The factory manager will arrive in the city in two hours. Please take a rest."

After hearing this, the factory manager nodded, pinched his eyebrows a few times, closed his eyes and rested. Everyone also consciously kept quiet and didn't disturb him.

Although we were in a car, the road was very steep and the car seats were made of iron, so our buttocks were shaken very painfully when we sat in the car.

Director Li also closed his eyes and rested. He really didn't know how to spend the hour.

The factory director's secretary and Sheng Wanyan were both very energetic. While the leaders were resting, they, as subordinates, should do the rear-end work well.

Finally they staggered into the city and went to a state-owned restaurant for lunch.

It is exactly twelve o'clock noon now, and government departments also need to eat. They don't know how long their afternoon meeting will take.

I have to fill my stomach, and since I eat out while working, the factory reimburses me for the meals.

"Lesbians, what do you want to eat?"

The factory manager asked for her opinion very gentlemanly, but Sheng Wanyan knew that she could not take the lead.

Director Li also looked at her nervously, afraid that she might say something wrong and upset the factory director.

"I'm not picky about food, as long as I can fill my stomach."

The factory manager nodded when he heard this and started asking his secretary to order dishes according to his wishes.

Director Li breathed a sigh of relief. Comrade Sheng Wanyan was indeed a quick thinker.

He didn't try to steal the limelight along the way, nor did he order dishes randomly like someone who had never eaten meat.

He remembered that every time he brought Comrade Niu Fangli out to a meeting, Comrade Niu Fangli would order a bowl of white rice and a meat dish for him.

Although the factory will reimburse you, if you exceed the prescribed reimbursement range, the factory will not give you more.

As a result, he had to pay some money out of his own pocket every time, and he was too embarrassed to ask the female comrades for money.

He decided to bring Comrade Sheng Wanyan to every meeting in the future. Bringing such a sensible person along would not make him feel unhappy.

He is not the factory director, so he can have more funds for traveling.

The factory director's secretary ordered two meat dishes, one braised pork and one twice-cooked pork.

Each of the remaining people was given a steamed bun, and a bottle of soda was specially given to Sheng Wanyan.

The meaning was very clear, and the factory manager was very satisfied with her sense of propriety.

"It's so hot, don't tire our female comrades out."

"How could that be? We are all contributing to the country."

Sheng Wanyan gave an official reply, and the factory director was even more satisfied when he heard it. This was a female comrade who was wholeheartedly trying to contribute to the country and was ambitious.

Sheng Wanyan really had no idea that the factory director thought of her this way.

She had been slacking off at work, and this time she came here just to find a big backer for herself, to show her face in front of the factory director and leave a good impression.

After all, Director Wang from the logistics department was eyeing her covetously. If she didn't find a reliable big tree for herself, she would be stabbed in the back by others!

This opportunity just happened to come up at this meeting, how could I not seize it?

But when I think about it, I feel a little sorry for the factory director. I have treated him as a big enemy.

Sheng Wanyan was very polite when eating, and her manners were very strict, which didn't make people feel uncomfortable at all.

After eating and resting in the car for a while, I drove to the government department.

The meeting started at two o'clock, so they had to wait at the door of the meeting room at half past one.

And I heard that the factory managers and propaganda directors of every factory in the city and the town will go.

It’s quite a big deal!

It was Sheng Wanyan’s first time to come to the city and also her first time to see a government department of this era.

Government departments of this era were also very simple, they were all red brick buildings, and they were two-story.

There are four or five buildings and a cafeteria inside. It is surrounded by a high wall and there is an old man guarding the door.

The place where they met was on the second floor of the building on the far right, which was a conference room.

Sheng Wanyan followed the factory director and several others upstairs. There were many people standing in the corridor, all of whom were secretaries.

The leaders had all gone in and were waiting, and since it hadn't officially started yet and they hadn't been allowed in yet, they couldn't disturb them at will.

After all, there are some things that people like them cannot hear, so Sheng Wanyan followed the factory director's secretary and stood in the corridor waiting.

"Secretary Hu, is this your new secretary?"

The secretary of the director of the city's cotton mill came up to say hello. The interpersonal relationships between the secretaries were also very complicated.

Secretary Hu smiled and introduced Sheng Wanyan to everyone: "This is Comrade Sheng Wanyan from our Propaganda Department."

"Hello, I'm Sheng Wanyan."
