Chapter 122: Understand "You will do this to Du Jianguo in front of him..."

Seven machines and a technician, Director Qian sent two trucks from the factory to the train station to pick them up.

Wang Ying and Factory Director Qian sat in the driver's cab. Factory Director Qian beamed, saying, "The machine arrived today. Nanchong Plastics Factory will also be delivering goods in the next couple of days. We've almost finalized the recipes for the biscuits and dried tofu. Thank you for your hard work lately, Comrade Wang Ying."

"It's not hard. It's all for the factory and for socialist construction." Wang Ying answered reflexively.

Qian Tongsheng smiled and said, "The people you brought out are all good."

"They are already excellent comrades, otherwise they would not have been selected by the factory director and leaders to join the factory," said Wang Ying.

Director Qian was very satisfied with Wang Ying's answer. The two talked about the factory's subsequent production and development all the way to the train station.

The machine was transported on a freight train, and Wang Ying and his companions, under the guidance of the train station staff, arrived at the unloading area.

Thanks to the joint efforts of the station staff and truck drivers, seven machines were successfully loaded onto the truck.

The machine was covered in a plastic shell, so the inside couldn't be seen. But Director Qian thought it looked bigger than in Wang Ying's photos. Bigger was better! Director Qian was very satisfied.

On the way back, Director Qian and the technicians from Shanghai were in one car, and Wang Ying got on another truck.

After Wang Ying got on the truck, the truck driver was particularly enthusiastic towards her.

"Director Wang, hello!"

"Hello." Wang Ying greeted politely.

"I've been looking for an opportunity to thank you, but I'm embarrassed to bother you," said the driver.

"Thank me?" Wang Ying couldn't remember what connection he had with the truck driver.

"Hey, Director Wang, you tend to forget things easily. Do you remember Director Fang who came before us?" the driver said with a smile.

When he said that, Wang Ying remembered and said with a smile, "Master, did you join the factory after that incident?"

"That's right! That's not all," the driver said. "The key is that I could have joined the factory a few years ago, but Fang Hongjun got me kicked out."

"That's when Master's luck turns, and your position is still yours." Wang Ying said with a smile.

"Hehe, I still have to thank Director Wang for setting things right."

"Master, what's your last name?" Wang Ying thought that since the driver remembered his kindness, maybe they could cooperate in the future. It would not be a bad idea to get to know the driver himself, so Wang Ying started to be polite with the driver.

"It's not that I'm trying to be related, Director Wang and I are from the same family."

"Oh, then I should call you uncle." Wang Ying said.

All the way to the factory, Wang Ying and the driver, Master Wang, had become very familiar with each other. When getting off the car, Wang Ying called him "Uncle" all the time.

After arriving at the factory, Deputy Director Zheng was already waiting to unload the goods with several young and strong employees.

There are seven machines in total, three in the soy products workshop and four in the pastry workshop. One of them is a prototype for Director Xiang to use for experiments.

As soon as Wang Ying and his team arrived at the factory, Director Qian told Wang Ying to invite Director Xiang over, saying that the reception of the technicians would be left to the "technicians." Wang Ying also invited the factory's machine maintenance technician to come over so that he could also fix any minor machine problems.

Leaders arrived at Workshop 4 one after another to watch technicians disassemble the machines. The machines were fully assembled, requiring no parts to be installed; they simply plugged in and were ready to go. The technicians brought their own trial packaging and tested all four machines in person; every one was working properly.

After testing these machines, the technicians went to try the ones in the soy products workshop, and there were no problems either.

The soy product workshop used their newly developed dried tofu for trial packaging. After the packaging was completed, Director Xiao's eyes narrowed with a smile. Doesn't it look the same as the ones sold in Shanghai? And he thinks their taste is even better!

After the busy work was over, it was already lunchtime. Director Qian asked Wang Ying and Director Xiang to take the technicians to the cafeteria for lunch.

The technician didn't talk much, and Wang Ying didn't interrupt him while he ate. After lunch, Wang Ying and Director Xiang took the technician back to their office.

The technician then asked Director Xiang and Wang Ying, "Comrades, do you have any ideas for improving the machine?"

Wang Ying looked at Director Xiang, who said, "I have some ideas."

The technician had only asked casually, following the instructions of the factory leader. Unexpectedly, he actually asked, "What's it about?"

"The evacuation time can be shortened by improving the vacuum pump," said Director Xiang.

The technicians were a little surprised. They had also been researching this in the factory and had already found the optimal solution. How come this top student had made a breakthrough in just a few days?

"However, I have no way to put it into practice. I only have data and plans. The specific results need to be tested by my comrades back in the factory." This was actually calculated by Xiang Huaimin and his classmates when he was in Shanghai. He took out a brown paper file bag from the drawer and handed it to the technician.

When the technician opened it, he found several blueprints inside, including diagrams of the entire machine, the vacuum pump, the vacuum chamber, and various data sheets. It looked like they had come straight from his factory. The technician even thought that with these blueprints, other factories could also build this machine.

"We'll try it when we get back, and we'll notify you two as soon as the results are out," the technician said solemnly.

"Then I'll wait for your good news!" Wang Ying said with a smile.

After finishing the business, the technician said a little embarrassedly: "Do you remember Tao Juan?"

"Of course I remember." Wang Ying said.

"She asked me to bring her some Beichong specialties, and she specifically asked for peach cakes..."

Wang Ying smiled and said, "What a coincidence! We've already prepared a few gift packages of our specialty products for your factory. I'd like to trouble the technicians to bring them back for me."

They were about to get seven machines for free, so what was a little gift package of local specialties? She wished their products could be sold in Shanghai, so more people would know about it. If it were possible, Wang Ying would have wanted to load a train car full of peach cakes to Shanghai to distribute them, but it was too bad it wasn't possible!

There is only one train from Beichong to Shanghai every day, and the technician can only go back tomorrow. In the afternoon, he gave individual instructions to the factory's maintenance workers. In the evening, his logistics comrades took him to the Beichong Guesthouse.

When the technician came, he only brought a tool kit, but when he left, he took away several bags full of Beichong specialties.

With the introduction of new machines and the production of new products, the non-staple food factory has a new look.

Each of Wang Ying's subordinates is responsible for a new project, and the fourth workshop is seriously short of manpower.

In late November, Wang Ying submitted two proposals to the factory. One was to expand the fourth workshop and recruit free employees; the other was to open a direct-operated grocery store at the factory gate, selling only all the products of their factory.

The expansion of the fourth workshop was a promise that Director Qian had made to Wang Ying a long time ago. Later, when Fang Hongjun got into trouble and Wang Ying's performance got better and better, Director Qian no longer mentioned the matter.

When Wang Ying submitted the two proposals, Factory Director Qian's brow furrowed. He had no objection to expanding the factory and hiring new employees, but he was hesitant about opening a directly-operated store, fearing that his superiors would disapprove.

But Factory Director Qian didn't reject Wang Ying's proposal. He planned to submit it to his superiors. Their food factory had been performing very well that year, and the successful introduction of new machinery had garnered unanimous praise from their superiors. Their superiors were optimistic about the development of the food industry. With this momentum, one of Wang Ying's two proposals should be approved.

To Director Qian's surprise, both proposals were approved! However, the production and sales targets for the coming year were also quite daunting!

The leader directly announced that if their factory accepted the quota, the higher-ups would approve their proposal. Director Qian, unsure of why he had impulsively issued a military order, accepting a production quota that doubled next year's...

Director Qian figured the recent excitement at the factory must have ignited his own fighting spirit. After returning to the factory, he calmed down and felt a little regretful. But regret was pointless. If he dared to withdraw his proposal from his superiors at this point, he would no longer be director and would be replaced by someone more capable.

"Go and invite Deputy Director Wang for me." Director Qian said to the clerk.

Wang Ying was currently following up with Zhou Qianjin on the milk biscuit issue. They didn't have a recipe for milk biscuits, so they could only modify the original sesame biscuit recipe. Because they needed to add milk, cost control and future pricing had to be considered now...

The clerk went to Wang Ying's office and conveyed Director Qian's words.

Zhou Qianjin immediately said, "Director, please go ahead and do your work. I'll do the math later."

"Okay, if you can't figure it out, please ask Director Xiang for help." Wang Ying smiled, "The peach cake recipe in our factory tastes better than the one in Shanghai, but it was Director Xiang who finally figured it out."

Xiang Huaimin ignored Wang Ying, who was clearly there to take care of his parents! He was asked to do this and that every day, working like a workhorse. He was really being taken advantage of!

Wang Ying came to the factory director's office and found that the factory director was particularly serious today.

"Director, are you looking for me about the proposal?" Wang Ying asked as he walked in.

"Please sit down." Qian Tongsheng said.

Wang Ying sat down in the reception chair opposite Director Qian, sitting upright, and "waited for his punishment."

Director Qian looked at Wang Ying. She had only been in the factory for a year, but she had brought such great changes to the factory.

"I submitted the proposal, and the leader means that next year's indicators should be doubled compared to this year. Can you do it?" Director Qian said seriously.

When Wang Ying heard this, she knew that the leader had agreed to her proposal, and Director Qian must have "signed the military order", but Director Qian was now going to slap the "military order" on her forehead.

"The leader only talked about the indicators, but didn't say anything about the benefits and conveniences for our factory?" Wang Ying asked.

Qian Tongsheng was stunned. He had agreed in a fit of rage, without fighting for anything… But he said nothing, his face cold, “Can’t it be completed without preferential treatment?”

"That's not true. Next year, we will definitely sell our products to more places, and we absolutely need the cooperation of our superiors!" Wang Ying said, "It will be difficult to double our sales relying solely on Beichong's purchasing power."

"It's not difficult," Qian Tongsheng said. "With the success of Nanchong this year, the leaders won't object."

"Then I think we can definitely do it," said Wang Ying.

Qian Tongsheng said: "What if it can't be done?"

"It won't be impossible," Wang Ying said solemnly. "Director, there's no reason we can't do it. As long as the leadership fully cooperates with us, we will definitely be able to accomplish it, and even more."

Seeing Wang Ying so confident, Qian Tongsheng's previous regret disappeared and his fighting spirit was ignited again.

"The leader has already agreed verbally, and the official document will come down next Monday. Along with it, this year's year-end welfare tasks will also come down at the same time," said Qian Tongsheng.

Wang Ying smiled and said, "Okay."

"Wang Ying, my leaders and I are very optimistic about you, so don't let us down!" Director Qian said meaningfully.

"Don't worry, leader. Just look at me. I've been in the factory for more than a year. Have I ever failed?" Wang Ying said this arrogantly, but it was also the truth. She could even get the free machines.

"Okay, I believe you!" Director Qian slammed the table and said, "You can go back first. We'll discuss the details in a meeting after the paperwork comes down."

Both proposals were passed. Wang Ying felt very happy. After returning to the office, he started humming a little tune again.

This little tune sounded like a death knell to Director Xiang. Whenever Wang Ying encountered something good, she would hum the little tune. However, the good things she encountered were all work-related, which would definitely increase his workload!

"What did you do again?" Director Xiang couldn't help but ask.

"Hehe, our workshop is going to expand and we need to recruit workers. Director, the burden on your shoulders will be heavier!" Wang Ying said with a smile.

"Carrying you on my shoulders, it must be too heavy! I've really been fooled." Xiang Huaimin said angrily.

"Thank you, Director, for carrying me and letting me feel the fatherly love as high as a mountain!" said Wang Ying.

"My dear daughter, you must be filial to me in the future!" Xiang Huaimin took advantage of the opportunity.

"Well, don't worry, I will definitely respect you! Even more than I respect my own father!" Wang Ying said it in a joking tone, but she was secretly thinking in her heart that she heard that Director Xiang was divorced early and had no children, so she would definitely respect him as an elder in the future.

The two of them joked around for a while and then went back to work.

Monday came in a flash, and the official documents came down from above, the leaders agreed to expand the factory building, recruit new employees, and open a non-staple food specialty store.

After receiving the official paperwork, Wang Ying became even busier. Every day, when she got home, she either fell asleep or had work to do. It was only when Zhao Yunsheng picked her up from work that she had time to talk to him.

As for rest days, Wang Ying hadn't had one in a long time. The last time she had a day off was when Zhao Yunfang's child was 100 days old. The next time she had a day off, it would be when Wang Hui's child was 100 days old.

Ever since Wang Ying met her family on the day of Wang Hui's "Three Days" celebration, he hadn't seen them since. When she was busy, she even forgot where she was, let alone thought of them, and the haze of her past life had dissipated.

Wang Ying was so busy with work that he hadn't noticed the old couple had already gotten angry. Why were they angry? Because Wang Ying had gone to Shanghai, something so important, and he hadn't even come back to tell them, or even bring them any candy! The story had spread among the staff of the food department, saying that Director Wang had gone to Shanghai and, without spending a penny, bought the factory several high-tech machines. Word quickly spread throughout Beichong.

Originally, this incident was nothing special. Someone praised Wang Yongren's daughter's ability in front of him, and he felt quite proud. But soon, people kept asking Wang Yongren, "I heard your eldest daughter went to Shanghai. What good things did she bring back for you two elders?" This question was asked by far more people than those who praised Wang Ying.

After being asked several times, Wang Yongren became more and more angry. He scolded Wang Ying at home, saying that she was an ungrateful person, an unfilial daughter, and that she no longer cared about her parents’ family after getting a husband’s family…

Li Fengju was constantly being questioned, not only by her colleagues but also by Wang Hui and Sun Qiaoling, and her dissatisfaction with Wang Ying grew. When Wang Yongren mentioned that everything they had would be left to Wang Hui, Li Fengju had argued that both daughters should be treated equally. Now, after hearing this, she fell silent, thinking that she had the ability and didn't need their help.

Old Wang and his wife were angry, so when Wang Ying saw his parents on Huanhuan's 100th day, their faces didn't look very good. If Zhao Yunsheng hadn't been there, their faces would have been even uglier.

Wang Ying didn't care. After greeting them with Zhao Yunsheng, he went into the room to see Huanhuan.

"Oh, auntie is here. What good things did she bring for our Huanhuan from the big city?" Wang Hui deliberately said as soon as she saw Wang Ying.

Wang Ying looked at Huanhuan. The little girl was really well taken care of. She was plump and white at only a hundred days old. She looked like Wang Hui and Du Jianguo, but she was prettier than them.

Wang Ying hugged Huanhuan, teased her face and said, "Auntie is on a business trip this time. She was so busy that she almost didn't have time to eat. How could she have time to buy things?"

After saying that, Wang Ying glanced at Wang Hui. If Wang Hui had nothing else to say, she would take the gift and go back.

Wang Hui felt a little guilty when Wang Ying glanced at her, and hurriedly said, "Work is important, work is important."

Seeing Wang Ying holding Huanhuan and seeming to like her very much, Li Fengju felt a little relieved and walked up to her and said, "You should have a baby soon." Perhaps after becoming a mother, Wang Ying knew how difficult it was for her.

Wang Ying said, "Don't worry." She is so busy now that she has no time to have a baby.

"You're the only one who's busy with work." Li Fengju muttered, but after she finished muttering, she saw Wang Ying looking at her, and she was a little afraid that Wang Ying would argue with her, so she turned around and left in fear.

Wang Ying noticed something was amiss with the Wangs the moment they arrived. She hadn't known the reason at first, but after Wang Hui explained it, she knew it was because she hadn't brought anything for them on her trip to Shanghai. She returned Huanhuan to Wang Hui, called Zhao Yunsheng, and the two of them went for a walk nearby.

When they reached the alley entrance, Zhao Yunsheng asked Wang Ying, "Why have you been laughing since just now?"

"I haven't taken a walk with you for a long time. I'm so happy!" Wang Ying looked at him and said.

"Although I like to hear this, you are obviously not laughing for this reason. Your smile is weird," said Zhao Yunsheng.

"You know why I'm laughing, so you must laugh with me." Wang Ying said with a brighter smile.

"Oh, then tell me." Zhao Yunsheng became really curious.

Wang Ying expressed her guess. Zhao Yunsheng smiled helplessly after she said that: "They really are..."

Wang Ying laughed and sighed, "How foolish I was before!"

"It's enough if you don't become stupid now," said Zhao Yunsheng.

If I continue to be stupid, I will feel so sorry for the big loss I suffered in the past, Wang Ying thought to himself.

Zhao Yunsheng also hated his parents-in-law for being so unfair to Wang Ying. She was so busy with work, but they didn't even think about caring about her and only wanted her filial piety.

Wang Ying had no extra gifts to give them, and didn't even want to talk to them.

As the two of them were walking back, they happened to meet Wang Yongren and Li Fengju who came out to look for them.

Wang Yongren's tone was not very good: "He is really a big boss. It's a rare visit to my sister's house, but he is so elusive that he has to be treated to a meal. He has no manners at all."

Wang Ying was about to retort when she heard Zhao Yunsheng say, "Dad, Mom, I know I shouldn't say this, but I really can't help it. Don't you want to see Yingzi anymore? Don't you want her as your daughter? Yingzi has been so busy. She hasn't had a break in over a month. Haven't you seen how much thinner she has become? When we meet, you don't even say a word of concern. Instead, you start by mocking her. What on earth has she done to make you dislike her so much? If you really don't like her and don't want her, then ask the government to cut her off."

Neither Wang Yongren nor Li Fengju expected Zhao Yunsheng to suddenly say such a thing. Wang Yongren's face turned red and he was so angry that he seemed to want to hit Zhao Yunsheng.

Wang Yongren glared at Zhao Yunsheng for a while and then glared at Wang Ying. His eyes meant, "Are you just going to let your husband talk to your father like that?"

Wang Ying said calmly, "I also want to know what you two want. Otherwise, why not just break up? It's boring to be like this every time we meet."

Li Fengju looked at Wang Ying's face and found that she was indeed much thinner than the last time they saw her. She felt uncomfortable for a moment. She said quickly, "Your father is just worried about not being able to find you. There is no other meaning. Yunsheng, don't think too much."

"Mom, I've never seen anyone bullying their own daughter in front of their son-in-law. If it was a bad son-in-law, seeing you bullying her like this, knowing that her family doesn't like her, Yingzi would have to endure so much grievance. Would you treat Wang Hui like this in front of Du Jianguo?" Zhao Yunsheng said.

"Huihui is not like her!" Wang Yongren said with his neck stiff.

"Unlike Yingzi, what?" Zhao Yunsheng asked. "Not as good and capable as Yingzi? I've heard before that some old people bully the honest ones and prefer those who talk sweetly. I didn't expect you to be like that too."

Li Fengju was afraid that the father-in-law and son-in-law would argue more fiercely, so she quickly pulled Zhao Yunsheng with one hand and Wang Ying with the other: "Okay, okay, it's your father's fault. He just wants to see you, but he can't speak."

Wang Ying looked at Li Fengju and said, "Mom, do you still remember what we said on the day we returned home?"

Li Fengju felt her heart shrink, and suddenly she remembered everything. She was a little afraid to look at Wang Ying.

"What did you say to her?" Wang Yongren said.

"Nothing, just a private conversation between mother and daughter." Li Fengju glared at Wang Yongren. "You're already acting crazy before you even drink. Talk to the child properly! Yingzi is a good child. Let's not hurt her anymore."

"Mom and Dad, if you treat Yingzi like this again next time, I won't allow her to come back!" Zhao Yunsheng said, "You don't like her, but she's a treasure in our Zhao family. Everyone loves her."

Wang Yongren told Li Fengju every day at home that he wanted to break off his relationship with Wang Ying, but when he really heard what Zhao Yunsheng said, he lost his temper again, and Li Fengju became scared.

"Children nowadays are all very hot-tempered. You can't tell them anything by your master!" Wang Yongren said this and turned back to the Du family.

"Yingzi, don't take it to heart. Your parents just miss you..." said Li Fengju.

"Old Zhao's house is not locked." Wang Ying interrupted Li Fengju.

Li Fengju choked. Old Zhao's house was unlocked, so they could go. But Huihui had just given birth, so they had to take care of her first... Huihui and Jianguo were still arguing, and they were worried...

When Li Fengju thought of this, all the thoughts in her mind suddenly stopped, and then she understood everything. She sighed, followed Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng back to the Du family, and said nothing more.

Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng left the Du family's house after dinner. Li Fengju wanted to ask them to stay a little longer and go home with her, but she didn't say anything...
