Chapter 1249 Timing
After he finished speaking, the person on the other end of the phone remained silent for a long time.
Factory Director Yang said with a worried look, "Director Qin, we're in this together now. If I don't do well, you probably won't get away with it either, so you should be prepared."
Hearing this, the other person also became angry: "Are you threatening me? When Ruoyun entered the steel mill, I told you to treat her the same as everyone else. You didn't discipline yourself, so who can you blame now?"
Factory Director Yang understood perfectly well that the Qin family was trying to shirk responsibility: "I did all this for Ruoyun, you can't treat me like this."
However, the other end of the line ignored what he said and hung up immediately.
Before he could react, the phone rang again: "Chief Qin, it's you..."
To everyone's surprise, a woman's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Is this Factory Director Yang? This is Qu**."
Factory Director Yang quickly composed himself: "Comrade Qu, why are you calling? Is there something wrong?"
"I'm calling to ask if your factory has a colleague named Xiao Chuxue who recently represented your factory at the Canton Fair?"
Upon hearing that it was Xiao Chuxue again, Director Yang felt a headache coming on, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply, "Yes, there is such a person. Is there something you need to see her about?"
Before the other end could answer, an excited female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Found it! Found it! I didn't expect it to be in the newspaper. That's it, it really is a steel mill worker."
Factory Director Yang's mind worked quickly this time. He remembered the newspaper article he had seen earlier, which reported on Xiao Chuxue's heroic rescue of people despite the dangers. Suddenly, his mind went blank.
After saying "hello" twice and receiving no response, the person on the other end hung up.
When the busy tone came through the receiver, Director Yang finally realized: What the hell did I do?
Soon, the higher-ups couldn't withstand the pressure and called Deputy Factory Director Gu: "We know this is a difficult matter, but there's nothing we can do about it. No matter what method you use, you must persuade Comrade Xiao as soon as possible to prioritize the overall situation."
Deputy Factory Director Gu thought for a moment and said, "Leader, I understand what you mean, but Comrade Xiao Chuxue was wronged in this matter. We can't just let her continue to suffer because of the overall situation."
After a moment of silence, someone made a decision: "You're right. We can't let people down. Here's what we'll do: the ministry will specially approve three hundred yuan. Your factory can hold a leadership meeting and come up with another sum as a reward for her contributions at the Canton Fair. After that, you can decide what to do next. What do you think?"
Deputy Factory Director Gu thought for a moment and said, "Sir, I think this arrangement is quite good. Besides, can we prepare for both possibilities? Comrade Xiao's husband is an officer in the army. Do you think we can ask them to provide some assistance?"
Actually, his assistance was a pretense; he just wanted to use this opportunity to let Chuxue's husband also benefit. After all, Chuxue's trip to the Canton Fair was truly meritorious. The military had far more connections than they did, and if they let slip even a hint, they would soon find out about Chuxue's remarkable achievement. As her husband, he would naturally reap the rewards.
After all, Chu Xue was the benefactor of the Gu family, so he naturally had to think more about them.
As for asking the military for assistance, that was just an excuse. Knowing Chuxue as he did, he knew that girl was very clever and had probably already guessed what was going to happen and was just waiting for the right opportunity.
