Chapter 49 Wei Laicheng Gets a Promotion and a Raise
To put it simply, Madam Tan was the superior of Liu Chengxin's superior. Since Liu Chengxin himself was already a top-level powerful figure in the capital, Madam Tan's status was self-evident.
“Jiaxin, it’s Mrs. Tan, that’s the one. It’s not easy to catch her eye.” Liu Chengxin winked at his younger sister, wishing he could agree for her.
That was Madam Tan, a woman who had fought her way up in the officialdom of the capital and achieved accomplishments that even he could only dream of.
Mrs. Jiang hesitated for a moment, wondering if this would put too much pressure on Xixi.
Mrs. Zhang, who was standing nearby, had come with a mission today. Seeing that Mrs. Jiang was starting to waver, she gritted her teeth and added fuel to the fire.
“Jiaxin, Mrs. Tan has always been a trendsetter in our industry. Your apprentice’s skincare products have caught her eye, and her future prospects are limitless. As her mentor, don’t you think about your apprentice at all?”
Mrs. Jiang gritted her teeth and nodded. Fine, she'd already troubled Xixi more than once or twice during this period. She was really useless as a teacher's wife. Not only had she not gotten any benefits for her apprentice, but she had also been troubling her apprentice every day.
But this opportunity is truly rare, and she absolutely has to pull Xixi into her arms!
...
"Chief Engineer, you wanted to see me?"
"Yes, I need to discuss something with you," the chief engineer said, but his mind was elsewhere.
Last time, the higher-ups somehow got the news that the Jiang family's lineage had fallen into ruin, and that he should treat Wei Laicheng with official business from now on and not worry about him anymore.
In fact, he knew in his heart that this was to make trouble for Wei Laicheng and remove him from his position as the captain of the transportation team.
Fortunately, he had a backup plan and didn't really cause trouble, otherwise he would be the one being dismissed now.
Thinking of the orders issued from above, the chief engineer sighed deeply.
"Lai Cheng, you've been with our transport team for several years now! You're one of our veterans. After these years of testing, we've found that your abilities are outstanding in all aspects, so the organization has decided to promote you and give you a raise."
While speaking, the chief engineer was filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.
A deputy director at the age of twenty, my God, what was he doing when he was twenty?
They've already risen from a regular employee to the head of the transportation department.
"A promotion and a raise?" Wei Laicheng was a little confused. He hadn't done anything.
If the chief engineer knew about his problem, he would definitely tell him, "You didn't do anything wrong, but you found a good mentor, especially one who is very protective of his own."
"That's right. Your transportation department director just retired a couple of days ago. We investigated all the team leaders for a long time before finally choosing you. You'd better work hard and not let the organization down."
They investigated for a long time, but it was all a lie. Wei Laicheng's position as director was directly appointed by higher-ups.
Wei Laicheng's lips twitched. If he remembered correctly, the position of director of the transportation department was not something that only one person coveted.
Thinking of his colleagues who had gone to extremes in their quest for this position, Wei Laicheng felt somewhat ashamed.
However, who wouldn't want a promotion and a raise? Besides, their third team had always been the top performer in the transportation team and had never suffered any injuries or deaths.
Compared to his colleagues who were focused on vying for power, Wei Laicheng felt that he had earned his position as the director of the transportation department without feeling guilty.
"By the way, Laicheng, you know the situation in our transport team. With your promotion and raise this time, many people in the team may gossip. Fortunately, I have a tricky problem here. If we handle this problem well, this problem can also be solved."
The chief engineer tossed a document to Wei Laicheng from the table in front of him.
He was secretly pleased with himself. This move was truly killing two birds with one stone. Not only did it silence the gossips, but it also dealt a blow to Wei Laicheng.
Otherwise, they might start eyeing his chief engineer position next.
Wei Laicheng opened the document, his brows furrowing more and more as he read it.
This task is not easy. He originally wanted to refuse directly, as he didn't want to cause trouble for no reason. But suddenly, he saw the destination of this mission.
Fuzhou?
Isn't this the city my wife has been talking about lately?
She also planned to leave herself alone in Huai'an and take Lan Miqian, that big third wheel, to Rongcheng, claiming that she was only going to show Lan Miqian the clothing styles there.
Hmph, you're kidding me.
"Chief Engineer, I'll take this task!" Wei Laicheng said angrily to the director.
The director thought Wei Laicheng had figured something out and was unhappy. Just as he was about to try to smooth things over, he saw Wei Laicheng stride out of the chief engineer's office.
"Young people like you are still too arrogant. You need to be tempered."
Rongcheng Garment Factory, that's a tough nut to crack.
...
"Director Wang, we're not satisfied. Why? What kind of tasks does Jiang Xixi, a saleswoman, have that allows her to keep taking leave and going on business trips? Last time in Suzhou, this time in Rongcheng, why? We're working ourselves to the bone, while she's out enjoying herself. Who can accept that?"
Director Wang, you have to give us an explanation about this, don't you think, sisters?
When Sister Wang called out behind her, all the sales clerks at the counter, except for Xu Xiaomi, responded loudly.
"Yes, Director Wang, we disagree."
"Yes, you need to give us a solution to this matter."
Director Wang was still bewildered by the shout, while Xu Xiaomi, who knew the truth, was now jumping up and down in a panic.
It's all her fault, that idiot, who messed things up.
Xixi trusted me, which is why she told me the story. She even repeatedly told me not to tell anyone. How could I have let it slip?
What should we do now?
"Come on, everyone calm down. What exactly happened? Someone tell me. Xu Xiaomi, you tell me."
When Xu Xiaomi saw that the director had finally noticed her, she quickly explained, but Sister Wang next to her ruined things again.
Couldn't something bad happen?
She had been looking for trouble with Jiang Xixi for a long time, and finally managed to find something to use against her. She had to make good use of it.
This time, if Jiang Xixi doesn't lose her job, she will be unemployed.
Thinking about the dark days she would have to endure without a job, Sister Wang became even more invigorated.
"Director Wang, why are you asking about Xu Xiaomi? That girl is in cahoots with Jiang Xixi, and she'll definitely side with her. You need to listen to the voices of us, the masses. We only have one demand: why should Jiang Xixi, as a sales clerk, be able to go on business trips and enjoy herself, while we have to work ourselves to the bone and then share her workload?"
We are not satisfied. Director Wang, you have to give us a solution, otherwise we will go to the labor union to demand an explanation.
"You're engaging in classism, you're a remnant of feudalism, while Jiang Xixi is engaging in privilege-seeking, acting like a landlord's daughter. You're bullying us working-class people, we have to get an explanation!"
