Chapter 207 Jealousy
Su Yonghong's conjunctivitis flared up as well. She and Sister Min had worked in the textile factory for more than ten years, and even if they hadn't made any great contributions, they had certainly put in a lot of hard work.
Unexpectedly, his salary was lower than that of Gu Yihan, who had only been working there for less than two years.
When it came to her own interests, Minjie couldn't help but question Gu Yihan: "Xiaohan, why is your salary so much higher than ours?"
Gu Yihan looked at Min Jie, with whom she usually had a good relationship, questioning her, and sneered, "Min Jie, you should ask the factory leaders."
She finally understood these people. They were all very nice to her, but as soon as it came to their own interests, they immediately turned against her.
Looking at Gu Yihan, whose expression remained unchanged, Minjie thought about how she and Su Yonghong only earned 42.5 yuan a month.
Previously, the three of them earned the same amount of money, and there was no distinction between them in terms of status or wealth.
Why should someone who does the same job earn so much more than the other two?
Turning to Su Yonghong, he roared, "Sister Su, let's go find the factory manager to settle this!"
Su Yonghong felt even more uncomfortable than Min Jie.
She was one of the first employees at the textile factory, so even if there's a raise, it should only be for her.
Minjie and Su Yonghong glared at Gu Yi in unison before leaving the office one after the other.
Hu Shan sat in her seat, cautiously watching Gu Yihan, who seemed completely unconcerned.
He whispered, "Xiaohan, aren't you angry?"
Gu Yihan looked at Hu Shan with a puzzled expression: "Why are you angry?"
Hu Shan pulled up a stool and sat down next to Gu Yihan: "Aren't you worried they'll ruin your newly increased salary?"
Gu Yihan couldn't help but laugh out loud: "The factory leaders won't go back on their word."
On the other side
Director Yang's Office
Secretary Jiang and Factory Director Yang were sitting on the sofa discussing ways to increase the workshop's output.
"Crunch."
Hearing the door open, Secretary Jiang knew it was Ye Qingqing without even looking up, and said coldly, "Ye Qingqing, haven't you made enough of a scene?!"
Ye Qingqing carried her lunchbox and sat down next to Secretary Jiang, saying aggrievedly, "Brother Jiang, you've misunderstood me."
After saying that, he pointed to Sister Min and Su Yonghong standing at the door: "They're looking for you."
Secretary Jiang looked up at the door, frowned, and asked, "Officer Min, Office Manager Su, is there something you need?"
Minjie and Su Yonghong walked into the office together, and Minjie went straight past Secretary Jiang to look at Director Yang.
He began, "Director Yang, we demand a raise."
Factory Director Yang was stunned upon hearing this. He picked at his ear and looked at Sister Min and Su Yonghong: "You want a raise?"
Minjie and Su Yonghong nodded repeatedly.
A mocking glint flashed in Secretary Jiang's eyes.
Factory Director Yang jumped to his feet and yelled at Sister Min and Su Yonghong, "I still want a raise!"
Minjie was shocked by Director Yang's attitude and was speechless.
Su Yonghong, having been around longer than Min Jie, retorted, "Why give Gu Yihan a raise when you won't give us one?"
Upon hearing this, Director Yang frowned and thought for a long time before remembering who Gu Yihan was.
Turning to look at Secretary Jiang on the sofa: "Did you give Director Gu a raise?"
Secretary Jiang glanced at Factory Director Yang and realized that she hadn't been paying attention when she asked him for his signature.
He said irritably, "Didn't I get your permission?"
Ye Qingqing's face turned cold when she heard Director Yang's question.
She had never cooked before, but in order to please Secretary Jiang, she spent every day in the kitchen learning to cook from the aunt next door.
Looking down at the burns on the back of her hand from the oil and the cuts on her fingers from the knife, she felt extremely wronged.
Su Yonghong: "Secretary Jiang, I asked Sister Min to cancel Gu Yihan's salary increase."
Factory Director Yang sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking at Secretary Jiang with a gloating expression, thinking how this kid always used his father to pressure him.
Upon hearing this, Secretary Jiang glanced at the shameless Su Yonghong and sneered, "The raise was earned by Director Gu through his own abilities."
“They’re all doing the same job,” Minjie said anxiously.
She didn't like it when others earned more than her, because then she would always be three points shorter than Gu Yihan when they met.
Ye Qingqing couldn't hold back any longer and threw the lunchbox in her hand onto the wooden coffee table with a loud bang.
He yelled at Sister Min, "Gu Yihan is a natural at seducing men!"
"Smack!"
Before Ye Qingqing could finish speaking, Secretary Jiang slapped her.
She covered her cheek and looked at him in disbelief: "You actually hit me for a married woman!"
Secretary Jiang gave Ye Qingqing a disgusted look and shouted angrily, "Shut up!"
He then added, "I hate women who throw themselves at men like they've never seen a man before."
Upon hearing Secretary Jiang's words, Ye Qingqing staggered and almost lost her balance.
I never imagined that I was so worthless in his eyes.
Seeing the disdain in the eyes of the people inside, she couldn't hold back any longer and ran out.
Su Yonghong and Sister Min exchanged a glance, knowing that if they didn't want Gu Yihan to get a raise, they could only try to influence Secretary Jiang.
Su Yonghong explained, "Secretary Jiang, Director Gu has only been with our factory for less than two years. If his salary is raised so quickly, the older employees will feel resentful."
“Yes, this is to prevent others from suspecting that Director Gu himself is not upright,” Sister Min chimed in.
Su Yonghong carefully observed Secretary Jiang's expression and saw that he was expressionless and harboring a sense of wishful thinking.
He continued, "If word gets out, it will discourage the factory's long-time employees and be detrimental to unity."
Secretary Jiang listened quietly to Su Yonghong's words.
He laughed out loud: "Since Director Su cares so much about the factory's veteran employees, why don't you switch places with one of them in the workshop?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yonghong gave an awkward laugh and said, "My job is special, and I'm afraid others can't handle it."
After she finished speaking, she gestured with her eyes for Sister Min to speak up for her.
At this moment, Sister Min dared not speak up for Su Yonghong, lest Secretary Jiang also make her switch with the old employees in the old workshop.
Secretary Jiang didn't pay attention to Su Yonghong's little tricks: "Director Su doesn't want to switch jobs with the old employees. Wouldn't that discourage the female workers in the workshop and be detrimental to unity?"
Before Su Yonghong could reply, he continued, "Don't worry, your salary is something any junior high school graduate could handle."
Just as Su Yonghong was about to refuse, Director Yang interrupted her sternly: "Alright, it's decided then. You'll go to the workshop tomorrow and work for a month."
After saying that, he waved his hand, telling Su Yonghong and Sister Min to leave, and if they caused any more trouble, they should go home and rest.
"Hey kid, what brings you to the idea of cracking down on the accounting department?"
Secretary Jiang leaned back on the sofa, rubbing her head and sighing, "Before, the factory only had one or two production lines, so it didn't matter that the accountants were lax."
"We will need to cooperate with the provincial capital in the future, so the accounting department needs to be transferred from above to take charge."
Factory Director Yang poured Secretary Jiang a cup of tea and said with a smile, "You're quite something, kid. You even had to use Gu to give her a raise."
Secretary Jiang smiled upon hearing this and said, "There's no other way. It's necessary to make room for the two new people."
Accounting Office
Gu Yihan was whispering with Hu Shan about the bizarre things happening in Gu Meng's family.
A loud clang.
Gu Yihan and Hu Shan both looked at Ye Qingqing, who had kicked the door open.
