At this moment, Ye Zhenghua was rushing home from the workshop, not even in the mood for lunch.
When he returned home at noon, he saw Meng Xueyun and Ye Linchen arguing. He had a sudden idea and went back to the workshop.
The dormitory area was not far from the factory area. When he arrived at the workshop, the canteen was still selling lunch.
Today's dishes are plentiful, including meat dishes such as steamed pork with rice flour and twice-cooked pork.
The twice-cooked pork looked delicious, with slices of fatty meat neatly arranged on the plate, so white and shiny that he couldn't help but swallow hard.
We've been eating too much vegetarian food at home lately.
Meng Zihan's grades dropped significantly again, and she almost came in last place.
Meng Xueyun was anxious and upset, and had no mind to cook properly.
Even if she wanted to, it was no use; the family had to save money to hire a tutor for Meng Zihan.
He was actually unhappy about it.
Meng Zihan isn't his own child. He's already done more than enough by paying for her upbringing. Now he's being asked to tighten his belt to support Meng Zihan's tutoring and university education.
On what grounds?
However, thinking about it, Meng Zihan's luck did improve a lot after he came home.
Meng Zihan rose from an ordinary worker to workshop director, which can be considered his lucky star.
He was also hoping that Meng Zihan would bring him good fortune and help him become the factory director.
Besides, he'd raised him for over ten years, so a few more months wouldn't make a difference, which is why he put up with it.
However, when Ye Linchen said he wanted to continue his studies and take the college entrance exam, he was more supportive of Ye Linchen.
Ye Linchen is his daughter, she has good grades, and her chances of getting into university are higher, plus she doesn't need tutoring.
If she really gets into university, his daughter will definitely make him more proud than his niece.
But out of consideration for Meng Xueyun, he couldn't say it directly, otherwise, given Meng Xueyun's temper, none of them would have a good life from now on.
Therefore, he hoped that Ye Linchen would win today's argument.
He could then legitimately stop tutoring Meng Zihan and wouldn't have to tighten his belt and suffer anymore.
Of course, it's also fine if Ye Linchen loses.
Since we don't have to support Ye Linchen's schooling, she can earn extra income at work, which will make things a little easier for the family.
Regardless of the outcome, it's a good thing, and he should buy a meat dish to celebrate.
Ye Zhenghua was very glad that he had managed to escape.
I don't have to eat those bland, oil-free meals at home, and I don't have to get involved in their arguments.
Ye Zhenghua was increasingly impressed with his own quick thinking, and immediately bought a plate of twice-cooked pork and a plate of Mapo tofu as a reward for himself.
He took the lunchbox back to his office, intending to enjoy it properly.
Just as I put a piece of big, white, fatty meat into my mouth, the phone on my desk suddenly rang.
Ye Zhenghua hurriedly chewed two bites, swallowing them before even recognizing the taste, and answered the call with some dissatisfaction, his tone not very pleasant.
"Hello, what can I do for you?"
On the other end of the phone was Xu Yuru, whose voice was even colder than Ye Zhenghua's: "Me, Xu Yuru, Old Ye, you're quick to run away."
Xu Yuru wasn't in the mood for wasting words with Ye Zhenghua, and quickly explained the purpose of her call.
Meng Xueyun injured Ye Linchen's face, kicked her out of the house, and even slandered her in front of the neighbors for cheating on the exam in order to prevent Ye Linchen from going to school, which had a very bad influence.
The factory leaders are now aware of the matter and have told Ye Zhenghua to handle it as he sees fit.
"What? Xiao Meng said that? There must be a misunderstanding!" Ye Zhenghua said anxiously.
“If there’s a misunderstanding, clear it up. Don’t wrongly accuse the child. She’s already run away from home. If something really happens, it will be too late for you to regret it.”
Xu Yuru hung up the phone with a "click" after she finished speaking.
Ye Zhenghua stared blankly at the microphone for a long time before putting it back.
I never expected that something like this would happen after I left.
What's wrong with Meng Xueyun? How can she be so reckless!
The factory leaders all know about this; won't it affect his work?
Just as Ye Zhenghua was getting worried, the phone rang again.
It was actually Deputy Factory Director Lin!
Deputy Factory Director Lin, a former workshop director, greatly admired Ye Zhenghua.
It was because of his promotion that Ye Zhenghua was able to reach his current position.
Ye Zhenghua usually treated Deputy Factory Director Lin with great respect and carefully maintained his relationship with him, hoping to climb the ranks by relying on him.
"Xiao Ye, what's going on at your home?"
Deputy Factory Director Lin's voice didn't sound as friendly as usual; instead, it carried a hint of reproach.
“I know you care about the factory and are eager to get back to work, but you can’t completely ignore things at home.”
“Xiao Meng went too far and caused a very bad influence. Go back and talk to Xiao Meng and find a way to handle this matter properly.”
“Don’t take this lightly. It’s said that harmony in the family leads to a well-governed country, while chaos in the family leads to chaos in the country. If you can’t even handle your family affairs, how can we believe you have the ability to manage the workshop? Here’s what we’re going to do: take half a day off, go back and handle this matter properly, and find your child as soon as possible.”
"You are young and energetic, with outstanding abilities, which the factory leaders have all noticed. Don't let a small thing cause you to lose sight of the bigger picture and disappoint the leaders."
Ye Zhenghua broke out in a cold sweat.
What does this mean?
If this matter isn't handled properly, it will disappoint the leadership.
Then I'll have no hope of climbing the ranks in the future?
What exactly did Meng Xueyun do?
A trivial matter actually alarmed the factory leaders!
The twice-cooked pork in the lunchbox no longer smelled good. Ye Zhenghua stuffed a couple of mouthfuls into his mouth, got up, and rushed home.
Ye Zhenghua hurriedly returned home, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw the twins Meng Xueyun and Meng Zihan eating at the dining table.
The atmosphere was still harmonious.
If Ye Linchen hadn't been absent, Ye Zhenghua would have almost thought that nothing had happened at home and that what the factory manager said was just a rumor.
