Chapter 222 Like Adding Wings to a Tiger: What's the Point of Me Hiring a Jailer? ...

Xu Guangming was one of the four talented men transferred here at the beginning of the year. Besides him, the other four talented men were Zhou Zhenbang, Dr. Bai, and naval technology engineer Zhao Rui. Lin Xiuqin had been on blind dates with both Zhou Zhenbang and Zhao Rui.

Xu Guangming was a shrewd and charming man. He was closest to the women in the family compound and was the most active in going on blind dates to find a partner. He initially hit it off with Chen Ruifeng's sister, Chen Xiaomei, but because the old lady was known for offending people, he was so frightened that he fled overnight.

In Xu Guangming's words, "I'd rather find someone poor and ugly than someone who likes to offend people!"

Xu Guangming was spoiled for choice, but when he met Xiao Zhier, he decided on her criteria.

Xiao Zhier comes from an ordinary family, but she is an outstanding individual. She works at Feiyan Textile Factory, which has now been upgraded to a deputy county-level unit and has been featured in a movie, making it known throughout the country. This is a great honor for her. Xiao Zhier has even entered the administrative department as a staff member, and in the future, she may even become a deputy section chief or section chief.

Xiao Zhi'er's older sister, Xiao Ye, is a housewife, but her husband is Jiang Changtian, a naval officer.

"I'm married to Xiao Zhier, and in the future, Comrade Jiang Changtian and I will be brothers-in-law. Comrade Jiang has already scouted out the risks for me, so marrying a daughter of the Xiao family shouldn't be too much of a problem!"

Xu Guangming was also a promising political cadre. The two were satisfied with each other's conditions, so they quickly got engaged and Xu Guangming submitted a report to marry Xiao Zhier.

"Congratulations, Comrade Xu Guangming! You've finally found your happy wife."

"Remember to send out wedding candy!"

"The Four Great Talents are now one less!"

...

Everyone in the family compound was happy for the newlyweds, except for Xiao Zhier's older sister, Xiao Ye. Xiao Ye really didn't expect her younger sister, Xiao Zhier, to find Xu Guangming, the political cadre who seemed to be the most promising among the four talented young men. Compared to Zhou Zhenbang, Xu Guangming's family background was slightly worse, but he was able to make it through those circumstances, which meant he was probably more capable than Zhou Zhenbang. What the future held was another story.

Many of those who eventually make it into the military come from ordinary or even impoverished families.

"These two sisters surnamed Xiao have a good eye for men!"

"In all calculations, Xiao Zhi'er married better than her sister."

"Xiao Zhier is also better off than her sister."

Xiao Ye gave a cold laugh and slammed the door shut. She was extremely anxious and distressed, while her family was all immersed in joy. Both of their daughters had married military officers. Who wouldn't envy them?

And then one day, her own sister stepped on her head... Xiao Ye was practically going crazy.

On the other side, Lin Xiuqin learned that Xiao Zhier and Xu Guangming were getting married, and she was filled with regret. Both Zhou Zhenbang and Zhao Rui were tough nuts to crack, and Dr. Bai was the most handsome, surrounded by countless female nurses and doctors, so don't even think about this charming doctor. Only Xu Guangming, because of his "sweet talk" and "good interpersonal skills," was the most honest, upright, and sincere in preparing for the blind date and marriage.

Xu Guangming is profit-driven and calculating. If you were to choose a partner, this would be a good choice, and his future official position would definitely be high.

It's also relatively easy to conquer.

Lin Xiuqin had been rebuffed by Zhou Zhenbang, so when it came to Zhao Rui, she chose a witty and skillful approach to gradually win him over. However, Zhao Rui only paid her no attention and politely dealt with her.

"If I had known, I should have focused all my efforts on winning over Xu Guangming!"

It was too late.

Xiao Zhier and Xu Guangming finalized their marriage plans and came together to deliver wedding invitations to Qin Xiangxiang and her husband.

Xiao Zhier: "Factory Director, we're getting married soon!"

Congratulations! May you have a long and happy marriage.

Xiao Zhier: "Director Qin, I learned all this from you. I never thought about marrying a soldier before, but after watching the movie, the scene of you and Comrade Li reuniting was so touching!"

Qin Xiangxiang's lips twitched: "??????"

Xu Guangming: "So, Factory Director Qin was our matchmaker."

"Of course!"

After Xu Guangming and Xiao Zhier left, Qin Xiangxiang and Li Jianzhi whispered to each other, "How can Xiao Zhier have such poor taste? Even with us like this, she's moved to the point of wanting to marry a soldier?"

Li Jianzhi: "Everyone says I acted with deep emotion."

Qin Xiangxiang: "Stop trying to make yourself look good!"

"Dad, Mom got a promotion now! Does that mean Little Fatty Warrior gets promoted too?"

Li Jianzhi: "Fatty, there are plenty of vacancies in our family. Whether it's Little Fatty as platoon leader, Little Fatty as company commander, or Little Fatty as battalion commander, you can take any of them. You can even be a political instructor if you want, since you only have Sui Sui as your subordinate."

"Is Big Soldier Sui Sui here?"

Little Sui Sui, wearing a pinafore dress, yawned: "Daddy, I'm here!"

Li Jianzhi: "Your elder brother is your direct superior officer. Your eating, drinking, and even your personal hygiene are all under the control of your superior officer, Little Fatty."

"Sui Sui, if you're complaining or feeling tired, tell your superior."

Little Sui Sui lazily replied, "Okay!"

The chubby boy put his hands on his hips and said, "Why should I care about a mere soldier's food, drink, and toilet needs?"

Li Jianzhi: "Of course you have to take care of her. If she's hungry or thirsty, you have to take care of her. If she misses home, you have to comfort her."

Li Xiaopang: "Then I'll apply to be my sister's soldier."

"turn down."

Li Suisui: "Dad, I'm tired!"

Li Jianzhi smiled slightly: "Tell your older brother."

Qin Xiangxiang: "I'm tired too."

“Honey, tell me, and I’ll take responsibility for you.”

Sui Sui: "I want to lie down with Mommy."

"What a sweet daughter she is!" Qin Xiangxiang held her soft little girl in her arms. She had given birth to a carbon copy of herself; she was just too adorable.

The mother and daughter lay down together.

"Thank goodness my daughter doesn't resemble my mother!"

If a "mini-Zhou Aodong" were to be born, the biological mother, Qin Xiangxiang, would immediately feign fainting.

After being promoted, apart from having a lot more official duties to deal with, Qin Xiangxiang found that it wasn't much different from before—no, it was even easier, because she had more managers under her, and she only needed to listen to reports in the office.

It's a job perfect for lazy people.

Everyone at Feiyan Textile Factory, except for her lazy factory manager, was full of energy, especially Gao Rong, who became very strict after becoming the workshop director.

A family member approached her, asking, "Director Gao, I'm busy at home. Can I only work the daytime shift?"

Gao Rong said coldly, "No, unless you are transferred to the long-day shift."

"But I want to stay in the workshop..."

...

When Qin Xiangxiang passed by and saw this scene, she turned around and went back to her office. She almost burst out laughing, oh my god, hahaha.

That's what they mean by the wheel of fortune turning.

Let's see who Heaven will spare!

On the other side, Yang Zhixia, a little rascal, was promoted to the position of union chairman by Qin Xiangxiang. The union chairman is almost like a "super housekeeper" who is in charge of welfare and logistics.

Distributing welfare benefits, various coupons and vouchers for holidays, employee living conditions such as canteens, nurseries, hospitals, various employee parties and sports meets... these are all things that the trade union is responsible for, as well as employee housing allocation.

Qin Xiangxiang entrusted all these troublesome matters to Yang Zhixia. Yang Zhixia was an upright and fair person, and many people respected her for doing these tasks.

The only thing she's not good at is mediating worker disputes and family conflicts; for now, she can only rely on Zhuang Xiaoman to assist her.

Qin Xiangxiang said, "What I'm missing right now is someone like Sister Gao, the head of the intelligence department, and someone who's good at mediating disputes and arguments. These two could be the same person."

Although Assistant He, Su Peisheng, was well-informed, he was only interested in news related to his position and did not collect gossip.

Qin thought to himself, "I wish I could go to the Shanghai municipal government to poach people!"

That's something we can only dream about.

Feiyan Textile Factory is expanding in an orderly manner, much like a reinforced battalion becoming an independent regiment. It needs to add a lot of personnel and apply for a lot of production machinery.

Zhou Zhenbang's cousin, Xue Xiaolin, was one of the new employees at Feiyan Textile Factory. She was young and had grown up in a military compound in northern China. She had just reached the age to go to the countryside and volunteered to work at Feiyan Textile Factory.

"Director Qin, hello, I'm Xue Xiaolin. Zhou Zhenbang is my cousin. He's told me many stories about you, Director Qin... I admire you so much!" Xue Xiaolin was a very warm and cheerful girl with healthy wheat-colored skin, short hair to her ears, big and bright eyes, and a tall figure. She habitually walked with her head held high and chest out, carrying the unique spirit of a military family. Qin Xiangxiang was taken aback by her appearance, knowing that she was another difficult person to deal with.

Qin Xiangxiang smiled gently: "Xiaolin, right? The moment I saw you, I felt that you must be a very spirited and talented girl. Go to the embroidery production group and learn Suzhou embroidery and kesi (silk tapestry) techniques."

Xue Xiaolin: "Huh?!"

Xue Xiaolin's goal was to get into the publicity department. She originally planned to listen to her elders, work as a factory worker for a year or two to hone her skills at the grassroots level, and then go to a department like the publicity department.

However, the factory director she admired immediately appointed her to "embroider" upon meeting her.

"Factory manager, I'll do whatever you tell me to do!"

The man's honest answer made Qin Xiangxiang feel a little guilty, and then Xue Xiaolin became someone Lu was "keeping an eye on".

Xue Xiaolin has an outstanding talent: she can keep track of time, making her practically a human clock.

Now Master Lu was even more powerful, and he specifically instructed Xue Xiaolin to keep an eye on Qin Xiangxiang and teach her Suzhou embroidery.

Qin Xiangxiang: "..."

Why would I want to get myself a jail job?
