The machines roared to life, and soon the beef was cut into mahjong tile-sized cubes, piled onto the conveyor belt, and moved on to the next stage.

The workers cheered and applauded.

Tao Xueying was overjoyed. "Squad leader, I did it! I actually did it! Thank you, squad leader!"

Jiang Zhiwei's smile was a little forced. She hadn't expected that Yu Yao could actually fix the machine without disassembling it completely.

She originally wanted to step on Yu Yao to rise to power, but now she's become Yu Yao's stepping stone, enhancing her reputation for being powerful.

She maintained a basic smile on her face, but inside she was furious and about to vomit blood. She left, making an excuse that she was busy with work.

As soon as Jiang Zhiwei left, the workers all surrounded Yu Yao.

"Even Director Jiang, with his extensive experience, couldn't find a solution, but Foreman Yu actually did. Foreman Yu is truly amazing!"

“Squad Leader Yu, you are my role model. I will learn from you in the future.”

"Yes, we should learn more from Squad Leader Yu. We should also strive to be such an excellent worker in the future."

In the workers' eyes, Jiang Zhiwei was an experienced veteran worker at Yangcheng Food Factory, and a very capable person.

But now that Squad Leader Yu knows a method that Director Jiang doesn't, it means that Squad Leader Yu is more capable than Director Jiang.

The way everyone looked at Yu Yao was one of pure admiration and excitement.

As employees, who wouldn't want to have a wise and capable leader who teaches them without reservation? Now that such a leader is right in front of them, how could they not admire him?

Zhao Meili's eyes were filled with regret.

The machine was actually fixed! How is that possible?

Yu Yao was actually willing to teach her best skills to the other workers.

This completely shattered Zhao Meili's understanding.

It is said that teaching a disciple can lead to the master's starvation. A master who always holds back something is unlikely to pass on their true skills.

Jiang Zhiwei had always done it this way, but Yu Yao hadn't.

Seeing Tao Xueying's jubilant expression, it would be a lie to say Zhao Meili wasn't jealous at all. She even secretly prayed that the new plastic collar would only last half an hour.

For the past half hour, she worked while chirping crickets, her eyes never leaving the machine for a second.

Even though my eyes hurt from staring at it, I couldn't bear to look away, afraid of missing anything unusual about the machine.

Unfortunately, she was disappointed. The machine ran smoothly without any problems, and was even more efficient than before because the blockages had been cleared.

During lunch break, Zhao Meili went directly to Jiang Zhiwei's office. "Director Jiang, what should we do now? Yu Yao has such a high standing among the workers. Is it possible for me to replace her as the team leader?"

Jiang Zhiwei was silent for a moment, then said:

"Squad leader, don't think about it for now. I'll find a way to make you the deputy squad leader. Your primary task now is to keep a close eye on the new production line and report everything, no matter how small."

Zhao Meili nodded: "I understand."

"By the way, find a way to give Yu Yao something to do, preferably something that keeps her too busy."

There was a knock on the office door. Jiang Zhiwei gestured for Zhao Meili to go downstairs and let the person in.

"Director Jiang, the printing plant called and asked us to bring over the materials that need to be printed for the Canton Fair as soon as possible."

"I understand, you may leave."

Jiang Zhiwei took the documents and went to Yu Yao's office.

"Squad Leader Yu, I'm new here and don't know how the new production line works. Could you write the promotional articles needed for the Canton Fair? Also, here's a list of Wannian's export earnings. Squad Leader Yu, could you compile a list of canned goods and submit it to my office tomorrow morning?"

Jiang Zhiwei offered a helpful suggestion: "Squad Leader Yu, if you can't handle all this, why not find a deputy squad leader to help? The new production line has been established for quite some time now; it's time to select a deputy squad leader. Zhao Meili is a good choice; she has experience attending the Canton Fair and her management skills are also good. Why not..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yao understood.

So that's where she was waiting.

Jiang Zhiwei is good at pretending, and she's using underhanded methods. It's not a good time to openly confront her now. I need to find an excuse to back down.

Just then, Tao Xueying's anxious voice came from outside the door: "Something's wrong, Squad Leader Yu! Li Qian and Wang Ling are fighting! You need to go and see!"

Yu Yao was just wondering how to get rid of Jiang Zhiwei when she heard this, she stood up and said, "Director Jiang, we'll talk about this later. I'll go take a look first."

When I arrived at the new production line, I saw two female workers fighting. One was pulling hair, and the other was pulling her bra, both of them cursing.

The surrounding workers were all watching the commotion, and Zhao Meili stopped those who wanted to go up, saying, "They're fighting so fiercely, it's better not to go up yet."

Yu Yao's face was icy. She walked over and quickly pulled the two apart. "What happened? Why were you fighting?"

The two of them started complaining about each other to Yu Yao.

It was just a minor argument that could have been resolved with a proper explanation, but neither of them would back down, and their verbal sparring escalated into a full-blown fight.

Both of them were at fault and should be punished.

"You two go back tonight and write a self-criticism, then hand it in to my office tomorrow."

This alone won't teach them a lesson. Yu Yao called the two of them to the workshop wall and said, "You two stand in front of me, holding hands, and face the wall for half an hour to reflect on your mistakes."

The two were stunned when they heard Yu Yao's words, thinking they had misheard.

"Squad Leader Yu, are you telling us to hold hands?"

Yu Yao gave the two of them a kind smile: "Of course."

The two fighters were extremely embarrassed and didn't move for a long time. It was only after Yu Yao urged them that they reluctantly stood hand in hand on the only way to the workshop, facing the wall to reflect on their actions.

Every worker entering or leaving the workshop could see the two people.
