Chapter 41: Establishment “Comrade Wang Ying, please don’t be so harsh in your words. …

Wang Ying hadn't expected this Luo Wenshu, who had just bowed and apologized, to start questioning her and accusing her of something. Her expression turned cold, and she asked, "Comrade Luo certainly wouldn't be wary of his colleagues. Tell me what you think."

Luo Wenshu pushed his glasses up and said, "Okay, I'll go first."

This surprised Wang Ying a little. She thought Luo Wenshu would continue to argue with her and let her speak first, but she didn't expect that he would actually speak. So she let him speak and see what he would say.

Wu Haiyang, standing nearby, said with a smile, "The work atmosphere is already heating up. Comrade Luo, wait a moment. I'll get a pen and notebook."

Wang Ying didn't move. She wanted to see what this person who spoke in a sarcastic tone had to say.

Luo Wenshu pushed his glasses again and said, "First, we need to understand the annual budget allocated to the factory for year-end benefits. Deputy Director Zheng said the budget won't increase. Without a budget increase, our task will be even more difficult, as R&D also costs money... There's another thing: we need to come up with something new this year, and we can't let the people feel like the new offerings aren't as good as before, or that there aren't as many as before..."

As Luo Wenshu continued to talk, Wang Ying's expression gradually softened. Comrade Luo, despite his sarcastic tone, was no fool and had some working ability. While what he said was based on Wang Ying's own thoughts and had some flaws, at least he did have his own ideas. She feared the most when someone had no working ability but only a mouth.

"I'm done, it's your turn." Luo Wenshu said and pushed his glasses again.

At this moment, the office door was pushed open, and a girl walked in. She was about the same height as Wang Ying, with a short ponytail and a black and white plaid jacket. Her skin was not very white, and her eyes were like black grapes. Anyone who saw her at first sight would definitely be attracted by her eyes.

"What are you talking about? It's so lively?" Xu Lili said with a smile as she walked in.

"Let's talk about our mission," Wu Haiyang said with a smile. "Welcome, Comrade Xu Lili."

"Oh, you know me?" Xu Lili asked in surprise.

"Only two female comrades were admitted," said Wu Haiyang.

"Yes, yes, I forgot about this. You have already started discussing the work. You are really working hard. I can't fall behind. I also want to actively participate in whatever you are talking about!" Xu Lili said as she stood next to Wang Ying.

"Indeed, we are a team and cannot be individualistic." Luo Wenshu said and glanced at Wang Ying, as if Wang Ying was being individualistic.

"It's true that we can't be individualistic, but we can't be empiricist either, and we can't label people just because we disagree with them." Wang Ying said coldly, glancing back at Luo Wenshu.

Luo Wencheng could tell that Wang Ying was talking about him, but he didn't say anything. He muttered to himself that what he said just now was indeed unpleasant. In fact, he was just eager to hear what good ideas Wang Ying had. Who knew that as soon as he opened his mouth... But Wang Ying did have some signs of individualism. Forget it, he would talk to her again when he had the chance.

"Let's wait for Comrade Zhou Qianjin to arrive so we can discuss this together," Wu Haiyang said. "Otherwise, we'll have to repeat what we've already said."

"That's fine. By the way, how are the desks arranged?" Xu Lili said again.

"Let's wait until everyone arrives." Wu Haiyang said again.

Luo Wenshu looked at Wu Haiyang and began to mutter in his heart again, he acted like a leader.

Wang Ying was constantly thinking about the mission and how to get along with the other four people on the team. She had a rather aloof personality and usually wouldn't initiate socializing unless she had a particularly good relationship with someone like Zhou Xiaoqin.

In her past life, she had few friends, and Zhou Xiaoqin was one of them. While working at the garment factory, she didn't make any friends at all. Not only did she have no friends, she even had enemies. In her past life, she'd competed with colleagues for the title of model worker and team leader, but she wasn't tactful enough, only focused on moving up the ladder, nearly offending all of them.

Wang Ying now thinks it's quite interesting. She couldn't compete with Wang Hui at home, so she just gave up. But at work, she basically won everything. She wanted to prove herself and show her parents that she was excellent, but the result was...

Now, the competition still needs to be fought for. The food research and development team will definitely need a team leader in the future. Now that a team leader has not been parachuted in, but the deputy factory director has taken charge, it is likely that a team leader will be selected from among the five of them.

Wang Ying would definitely fight for it, otherwise she would be sick to death if this sarcastic Luo Wenshu became the team leader! Wang Ying used to think that her emotional intelligence was not high, but now looking at Luo Wenshu, she thinks her emotional intelligence is very high.

After a while, the last comrade, Zhou Qianjin, also came to the office, and Deputy Director Zheng came with him.

Deputy Director Zheng stood at the door of his office, looked up, and said with a smile, "We haven't put up the office sign yet, but we've already started working on it. It should be ready tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, but this doesn't affect the official establishment of the food research and development team of our Beichong Subsidiary Food Factory today."

As soon as Deputy Factory Director Zheng finished speaking, Zhou Qianjin, who was standing beside him, began to applaud. He started clapping, and the other four followed suit, as did the comrades from the quality inspection team nearby. The quality inspection team was also recruiting this time, but since they already had a team, their event wasn't as grand as theirs.

"Alright, alright." Deputy Director Zheng smiled and walked into the office. "Today is the first day. First, familiarize yourself with the factory, each workshop, each department. Also, learn about the employee code of conduct and other things. Don't make any mistakes."

"Yes!" Zhou Qianjin responded.

Wang Ying looked at Comrade Zhou and saw that he was standing straight next to Deputy Director Zheng, as if he was Deputy Director Zheng's orderly.

"I'm not usually here. If you have anything to ask, please come to my office. I'm also quite busy at the end of the year and may not have time to hold meetings with you every day. If I don't have time to hold meetings with you, you can take turns being the team leader and hold your own meetings to arrange the day's work tasks..."

Deputy Director Zheng had almost finished explaining everything when he was called away by a colleague. Zhou Qianjin walked him out the door.

Wang Ying now has a preliminary understanding of the four colleagues. Zhou Qianjin is definitely the best at flattering the leader among the five of them; Luo Wenshu reveals his emotional intelligence as soon as he opens his mouth; Wu Haiyang is extroverted and seems pretty good at the moment; Xu Lili is a girl with a very good personality.

"You all know each other, right? I'm late. My name is Zhou Qianjin." Zhou Qianji said to the four people with a smile.

The four people also said their names and greeted each other.

"Why are you all standing here? How are the desks divided?" Zhou Qianjin asked.

"When you come, we'll share it together," said Wu Haiyang.

"Hey, why are you so polite? Just give me the leftovers." Zhou Qianjin said.

"That won't do. Let's draw lots." Luo Wenshu said.

"Okay." The other four agreed.

Zhou Qianjin added, "Let's reserve the leader's table first."

Generally, in an office like this, the leader sits at the table at the very back, on the left.

After he said this, the other four agreed. Wang Ying felt that Zhou Qianjin was the kind of person who could handle things. If this kind of person had a good nature and was determined and not corrupt, he would be very suitable for a mid-level leadership position. He could deal with superiors, appease subordinates, and liaise and coordinate work between departments.

Wang Ying felt that this person would be a formidable opponent if they were to compete for team leader. However, it was too early to think about that now; their main task was to unite as one and achieve this year's production targets.

Wu Haiyang happened to have a notebook and pen in his hand, so he said, "I'll write a few notes, one for the east and one for the west. Is that okay? The leader's note will count as the third for the east."

"Very good, very good." Zhou Qianjin said with a smile.

Wu Haiyang tore a piece of paper from his notebook, cut it into six equal parts by hand, leaned on Dong Er's desk and wrote a note.

"Comrade Haiyang's handwriting is amazing!" Zhou Qianjin praised Wu Haiyang as he watched him write.

"Thank you, thank you." Wu Haiyang wrote the note and put the cap on the pen.

After the words dried, they folded the notes into identical strips. Wu Haiyang held the strips in his palms and turned them around on the table a few times, then said, "You choose first."

"It doesn't matter which one comes first; we can't see it anyway, so it's all the same," Zhou Qianjin said, taking the first one. Xu Lili followed with the second, Luo Wenshu took the third, Wang Ying took the fourth, and the last one was left for Wu Haiyang.

Several people unfolded the note together. Wang Ying looked at hers: West Third. If she had to rank them, the spot she'd grabbed was probably the best, at the very back, facing the leader's seat.

But it also depends on the person. For example, when Zhou Qianjin caught Zuo Yi, he was very happy because he could see the leader as soon as he came in, and he could also see the leader first, so he could always be at the forefront of flattery.

West One was Xu Lili, East Two was Luo Wenshu, and West Two was Wu Haiyang. Everyone took a slip of paper and sat down in their seats.

Wang Ying felt that the office lacked a whiteboard, which would be inconvenient for meetings. However, there seemed to be no whiteboard at the time, only a blackboard. If he wanted these things, he had to write a report to apply.

"The leader is not here. Should we go shopping on our own? We need to ask a comrade from the security department to lead us." Zhou Qianjin said.

The other three agreed, and Wang Ying also agreed.

"Then I'll go find the comrades from the security department, and we'll meet in the lobby on the first floor." Zhou Qianjin said and went out.

As soon as he left, Luo Wenshu said quietly, "How proactive! I wish I could be as good at handling things as him."

Wang Ying felt that there might be something wrong with this man; he was always annoying when he opened his mouth. Now that they were all "close colleagues" behind closed doors, she stopped indulging him and stood up and said, "I'll go get Comrade Zhou back, and have Comrade Luo Wenshu go ask the security colleagues. Comrade Luo, you'll handle this."

Luo Wenshu pushed his glasses up and turned to look at Wang Ying: "Comrade Wang Ying, please don't speak so harshly."

"How can this be unpleasant? You have the desire to be proactive and enterprising, and I have the heart to help my comrades. Isn't this great? I'll go after you now." Wang Ying said as he walked out quickly.

Luo Wenshu became anxious: "Hey, hey, hey, no, no, I'll do it next time, I'll do it next time..." Luo Wenshu hurried to stop Wang Ying.

Wu Haiyang and Xu Lili were laughing nearby. Wu Haiyang stood up and said, "Let's go. We have to go downstairs anyway." He felt that Wang Ying was just teasing Luo Wenshu on purpose. Wang Ying seemed very serious, but he didn't expect her to have such a mischievous side. Wu Haiyang couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
