Chapter 97 Canton Fair Participants

Director Hu left angrily, and Lu Liangchen picked up Jiang Haitang and walked back.

Humph, I don’t want that old man, Director Hu, to be a light bulb. His wattage is too high.

"Where is Xiao Taozi?" Jiang Haitang asked.

"Playing next door."

Lu Liangchen had just finished speaking when Jiang Haitang looked down at his watch.

"It's almost eleven o'clock. Xiao Taozi has to go to bed before ten o'clock. How can you let her play until now?" Jiang Haitang said very seriously.

"Xiao Taozi's brain is developing at this age, so she needs to get more sleep. You are so unreliable."

Seeing that his wife was really angry, Lu Liangchen hurriedly apologized.

"It's my fault, it's my fault. I promise I won't do it again."

Seeing Lu Liangchen admit his mistake, Jiang Haitang's anger subsided a lot and she sighed.

"Since we have raised this child and she calls us mom and dad, we should take responsibility for her."

"You are right. I won't do this again in the future. Please don't be angry, wife." Lu Liangchen took Jiang Haitang's hand and said in the cover of night.

"Who is your wife? We haven't even gotten married yet, so don't call me that." Jiang Haitang glared at him in anger, but did not struggle to break free from his hand.

"Yes, wife!"

Jiang Haitang: ...

Gu Yundi and Shu Qihua were in poor health, so the factory asked them to rest for a few days before starting work.

But the two of them were the type who couldn't sit still, and they started working the next day.

Gu Yundi took the drawings drawn by Jiang Haitang and read them page by page. He marked some of the key points and made corrections to the unreasonable parts.

Occasionally, if there is something unclear, I will consult Jiang Haitang.

A week later, Gu Yundi completely understood the blueprint.

"I've had the idea of ​​upgrading the existing textile machines before, but I haven't had the time to implement it yet. Qihua and I... This blueprint is even more ambitious than what I originally wanted to achieve. As long as we complete the equipment upgrade, the textile factory will develop rapidly."

Gu Yundi said excitedly that although he was not the one who ultimately drew the blueprint, he was already satisfied to be able to participate in this project.

"It's a pity that I can't make it to this year's Canton Fair." Jiang Haitang said with regret.

"The new woolen material launched by our factory should shine at the Canton Fair. According to my understanding, woolen textile technology in various countries generally has various drawbacks. The woolen material you have improved has good market competitiveness." Shu Qihua said with a smile.

Jiang Haitang didn't know what the current level of international textile technology was.

In particular, she felt that she had only improved the shrinking technology and did not think that this material would be particularly eye-catching.

But now that Shu Qihua said this, Jiang Haitang instantly felt reassured.

The Canton Fair will be held from October 15th to November 4th, a total of twenty days.

The factory has been preparing to participate in the Canton Fair in recent years, and finally decided to bring a total of ten kinds of fabrics, five of which are woolen fabrics.

The fabric was easy to decide, but the participants were still not decided.

Factory Director Hu personally led the team to the Canton Fair this year. According to past practice, those who followed him were either factory office staff or sales department staff.

But this year, Director Hu recommended Lu Liangchen to lead the team, but as deputy director, Lu Liangchen was in charge of the security department and the R&D department.

Although everyone knows that Lu Liangchen is very likely to be the top leader in the future, he is not yet.

It is inappropriate not to allow the deputy factory director in charge of sales to participate. If the deputy factory director in charge of sales is allowed to participate and another deputy factory director leads the team, it is possible that a situation where the tail is too big to be cut off may occur.

Director Hu thought about it for several days but still couldn't make up his mind.

"Why don't you take them both with you? You can observe them both." Jiang Huizhen suggested when she saw her husband in such a dilemma.

"But our factory has only ten quotas to participate in the Canton Fair. If more leaders go, the number of staff will inevitably be reduced." Director Hu said embarrassedly.

"Who says leaders can't be used as staff?" Jiang Huizhen added, "They are all bricks and mortar serving the people."

Director Hu understood instantly and laughed heartily, saying, "You've really woken me up. If they go together, not only will my superiors and I be able to observe their abilities, but it will also be a good opportunity for them to get to know each other."

He also heard some different voices in the factory about Lu Liangchen taking over his position.

They all spoke up for the other two deputy factory directors.

After all, Lu Liangchen has only been in the factory for a short time, while the other two deputy factory directors have been working in this position in the textile factory for several years and both want to be promoted to regular positions.

It would be really strange if you didn't have any other thoughts when you were suddenly intercepted.

In the end, the list of personnel from the factory who would attend the Canton Fair was finalized, including Director Hu and two deputy directors, a total of ten people.

Director Hu brought his secretary, a young man named Gao Jiawei, as well as the sales manager and three staff members from the sales department.

The last two spots are Han Zhiqiu and Jiang Haitang.

Han Zhiqiu was a senior employee of the factory office, so it made sense for him to go with them. However, Jiang Haitang worked in the R&D department, and many people were dissatisfied with her going to the Canton Fair.

But Director Hu insisted, saying that she had improved the shrinking technology and needed technical personnel to explain it when negotiating business.

At this point, most of the opposition voices disappeared.

But there was one person who was very dissatisfied, and that person was Cao Zhenglong, a veteran employee of the R&D department.

The Canton Fair has never given any quota to the R&D department in these years, so he just accepted it.

We finally got a spot this year, so he should go.

Cao Zhenglong has been working in the R&D department for more than ten years. He considers himself the most capable person in the department and the core of the entire R&D team.

The person in charge, Zhou Zhiyuan, knows nothing. Zhao Yunze and Du Ligang are too old and can do nothing except playing chess.

Li Jingcheng and Duan Changhe are lucky to be recommended to the Textile University. How can they compare with him who got into the university based on his own ability?

But this list slapped him hard in the face.

When Jiang Haitang first came to the factory, he was on a business trip, and it was more than ten days later when he came back.

When he learned that there was a new engineer in the technical R&D department and his salary was only one level lower than his, he was very dissatisfied.

But the matter had been decided, and it was too late to object, so he could only grit his teeth and accept it.

This time, he must go find the factory director.

Cao Zhenglong went to the factory office building to find Director Hu in a rage.

Since Director Hu was not there, he went to find Lu Liangchen.

"Director Lu, isn't it a bit too much for honest people like us to arrange for Comrade Jiang Haitang to attend the Canton Fair?"

"An honest man? Well, you are indeed too honest." Lu Liangchen was reviewing documents without even raising his eyes.

Cao Zhenglong originally had a lot to say, but because of Lu Liangchen's words, he didn't know how to start.

Lu Liangchen waited until he finished reviewing the documents in his hand before looking up at him.

"Cao Zhenglong, although I arrived at the factory late, I also know you."

Hearing that the deputy factory director knew something about him, Cao Zhenglong was not happy but timid.

What does Director Lu mean by this?

"You started working at the factory after graduating in 1964, and it's been ten years now. Back then, you were a highly talented university graduate, and the factory entrusted you with important tasks and gave you the best possible treatment."

"I used to think that the factory treated me well, but this year the factory allowed a woman who just started working and has no academic qualifications to enjoy the salary of the 18th grade. I don't accept it." Cao Zhenglong felt like a thorn in his throat when he thought about it.

"Very good, you're brave enough to express your dissatisfaction. Keep talking. What are you dissatisfied with? Are you dissatisfied with her being a woman, or with her lack of education?"

"Since you asked, Director Lu, I'll tell you. I don't agree. Women should stay at home to take care of their husbands and children, while men should go out and work hard. Without a degree, you shouldn't enjoy high salaries."

"Cao Zhenglong, shouldn't you reflect on yourself when you say these words?"

Cao Zhenglong didn't understand what Lu Liangchen meant for a moment.

"Cao Zhenglong, you're a college graduate, but you're not as good as someone who hasn't even studied. You're a man, but you're not as good as a woman. Should I praise you?"

Cao Zhenglong blushed, but he was not convinced.

"Director Lu, I know you have a good relationship with Jiang Haitang, but that doesn't give you a reason to slander me."

"That sentence of mine slandered you. Tell me and I'll change it!" Lu Liangchen asked casually, leaning back in his chair.

“Why am I not as good as those who have never been to school?”

"Jiang Haitang has been at the factory for over a month and has already solved the shrinkage problem. You've been at the factory for ten years. What have you achieved?"

Cao Zhenglong only felt his face getting hotter.

"That's because of the current environment..."

"Environment? What's wrong with the environment? Don't make excuses for your incompetence. Cao Zhenglong, if you want the factory to pay attention to you, you have to show something worthy of attention."

Cao Zhenglong was unconvinced: "I've worked diligently for the factory for over ten years, and I'm not as good as Jiang Haitang in one month?"

"Wang Dalong, who operates the boiler in the factory, has been working diligently for more than 30 years. Should we let him go?" Lu Liangchen asked back.

Cao Zhenglong was stunned. Is this the same? It's not the same!

"Go away, I'll just pretend I haven't seen you today." Lu Liangchen didn't want to continue to argue with this kind of person, so he waved his hand and let him leave.

Lu Liangchen originally intended not to care about Cao Zhenglong's disturbance this time, but Cao Zhenglong did not appreciate it.

He felt that Lu Liangchen was deliberately embarrassing him.

After returning to his office, Cao Zhenglong vented his anger for a long time, using all his swear words to curse the factory and Lu Liangchen and others before he calmed down.

He couldn't just swallow this loss. If he swallowed his anger this time, he didn't know how much more grievances he would suffer in the future. Maybe Jiang Haitang would become the one who would put pressure on him.

Since they are unkind, don't blame him for being unjust. Cao Zhenglong took the paper and pen and began to write in a flamboyant manner.
