He was promoted three ranks in a row.
Sister Sun led the applause in congratulations, followed closely by Brother Huang and Xiao Yu.
Chairman Lin was extremely envious; he even began to feel jealous of Zhou Hongyu's good fortune when he received the notification.
This incident was submitted to the local morning newspaper by the factory's publicity department and was fortunately selected, bringing the First Machinery Factory several times more attention.
The factory director and other leaders immediately decided to add fuel to the fire and take advantage of this favorable wind to make the First Machinery Factory's name known and expand the market!
Therefore, Zhou Hongyu made a great contribution by accident!
The applause ended.
According to Sister Sun's calculations, her salary is 76 yuan for a level 6 wage. If such a good thing happens to her, how much pension will she receive when she retires in a few years?
Sister Sun patted Zhou Hongyu on the shoulder: "Hongyu, you're doing great! You got promoted!"
Xiao Yu whispered to Brother Huang, "Brother Huang, I think you should be the deputy director. Sister Sun will retire in a few years, and you are the most senior person in the office!"
Brother Huang smiled but said nothing.
Since the reform of state-owned enterprises, the office of the factory's trade union has become less desirable. If he wants to advance further, he can no longer stay here!
He had his eye on a job and was just waiting to win over his in-laws so they could pull strings and find him a way in.
He doesn't think much of this kind of deputy director position in the office.
He's quite capable; given the chance, he could surpass his wife!
Chairman Lin then told everyone, "Besides these formalities, the factory has also prepared a reward for the office's merit this time, which will be distributed together with this month's salary!"
He pointed to the three people: "Sister Sun, Lao Huang, and Xiao Yu, each of you will receive a bonus of fifty yuan. Zhou Hongyu will receive an additional one hundred and fifty yuan. In addition to the bonus, you will also receive prizes!"
Originally, it was fifty yuan per person.
He didn't want his share of 100 yuan.
He doesn't lack that little bit of money.
On the contrary, Zhou Hongyu's act of getting the office to perform meritorious service was actually a great help to him.
Sister Sun clapped her hands and laughed: "Fifty yuan, more than a month's salary, I wonder if Qi Fenglian is furious yet!"
She didn't need to hide these words from Chairman Lin.
Chairman Lin felt an itch to touch Qi Fenglian's name.
Actually, he would have preferred to appoint Brother Huang to the position of deputy director rather than Zhou Hongyu.
Brother Huang's in-laws have considerable influence, and he plans to keep them around to leverage their power.
However, the initial notice from above intended to appoint Qi Fenglian as the deputy director!
This is clearly an attempt to ruin him!
With Qi Fenglian as his deputy, he'll be dragged down to death even if he does nothing!
Chairman Lin stated directly that Qi Fenglian had already left, and there was no way the deputy director could be Qi Fenglian!
In conclusion, the factory director ultimately decided to appoint Zhou Hongyu as the deputy director!

As Zhou Hongyu walked into the alley on her way home from get off work, she was surrounded by people. Old men and women crowded around and blocked her way, asking her all sorts of questions about her being in the newspaper.
Hearing the commotion, Granny Chang ran out of her house and saw Zhou Hongyu, who was unable to walk, so she hurriedly shouted, "Everyone, make way!"
However, Granny Chang had no authority, and no one listened to her.
Chang Meiying pulled the old man back from playing chess and pointed to the center of the crowd: "Grandpa, that's my mom, please save her!"
Old Man Chang laughed and replied, "Grandpa, I'll take care of it for you right away!"
He roared, "Alright, all of you go home. We'll talk to you later after we've finished asking our own people!"
Cough cough cough, he actually really wanted to ask Zhou Hongyu about the details of her being in the newspaper.
Is it like in the movies, where a newspaper reporter goes to interview someone?
Old Man Chang shouted and chased away the neighbors who had come to watch the commotion, clearing a path for Zhou Hongyu to go home.
Chang Meiying squeezed in, grabbed Zhou Hongyu's hand, and said sweetly, "Mom, let's go home!"
Hmph, envious, aren't you? My mom's been in the newspapers!
Zhou Hongyu held her little hand and couldn't help but laugh at her smug look.
The US and UK should be this confident and energetic!
It's not because of a man that you've lost your spirit!
As soon as Zhou Hongyu entered the house, she was surrounded and asked all sorts of random questions.
When she replied that no reporters had come to interview Old Man Chang, everyone's enthusiasm had waned, but they still kept talking.
The elderly couple from the Chang family finally stopped when their mouths were dry.
It was at this moment that Chang Lanhua, the eldest sister-in-law, brought her second sister-in-law into the house.
When Granny Chang saw her second daughter, who always came back to tell her parents how hard life was, her eyes instantly fell.
Zhou Hongyu wanted to curse at her annoying sister-in-law; she knew that nothing good was coming back with those two!
Chang Meihua, carrying a basket, said, "We heard that our eldest brother almost got injured at the factory, so we made plans to come back and visit. Unexpectedly, we heard from the neighbors in the alley that Hongyu was in the newspaper. This is truly a joyous occasion!"
Chang Lanhua smiled and congratulated her: "I never expected that even you, Hongyu, could be in the newspaper. It seems that our children will also have the chance to be in the newspaper!"
These words made it sound like Zhou Hongyu was something terrible.
Chang Meiying, though young, was quite precocious. She exclaimed, "Auntie, my mom can only be in the newspaper if I have the opportunity. It has nothing to do with my cousins. If my cousins want to be in the newspaper, they'll have to see if Auntie can get in!"
Zhou Hongyu laughed and chimed in, "That's right, sister-in-law, like begets like, and even a mouse's child knows how to dig a hole. If you can't make it into the newspaper, I don't think your child has any hope!"
She spoke rudely, please don't mind it!
Chang Lanhua is extremely petty. She was determined to retaliate today because Zhou Hongyu and her daughter had ridiculed her like that!
His eyes darted around, trying to come up with an idea.
As soon as Chang Meihua entered the door, she went up to the elderly couple and complained about her various financial difficulties. In just a few words, she brought tears to their eyes.
