Chapter 71 This is an insult
The fan factory was exceptionally busy before the Lunar New Year, with many people pulling strings and seeking favors to buy a washing machine.
There's no way around it. Those with extra money, wealth, and status have wives and mothers who make a fuss, some even refusing to take responsibility, forcing these grown men to wash clothes in the dead of winter. Not to mention that, even if someone in the neighborhood gets a new appliance, it's considered a huge trophy.
The fan factory became incredibly popular.
Yu Jun was riding high.
Then the troubles began.
The fan factory gradually brought in a lot of people.
To be precise, a lot of people were transferred into the office building.
First, a female comrade was transferred to the Party Office, and she was immediately promoted to deputy director level.
Then, people were transferred in from the Party Office, Propaganda Department, Labor and Wages Department, Factory Office, Safety Department, Sales Department, and even Finance Department, and there were more than one people in each of them.
The most conspicuous of them all was the sales department. Originally, the sales department was inconspicuous in the factory, with only one deputy director and two staff members. This deputy director was waiting to be promoted to the full director position, but then a new director was parachuted in, and not content with just one new director, another deputy director was also parachuted in. Now, with three leaders and two staff members, the sales department became the center of attention.
Three leaders were in charge of a planner and a statistician. Everyone would joke about these two when they met them.
Having lost all hope of becoming a deputy section chief, he gave up and started spending his days drinking tea and reading newspapers.
I don't know if it was to balance the staff, but a few days later, another staff member was transferred from the sales department. Now it's definitely balanced. Three leaders and three staff members, which sounds better than before.
The fan factory hasn't even been properly run yet, and everyone's already scrambling to get in. The workers are swearing behind their backs. They feel like they're the ones doing all the work, while the people in the building are being fed by them, essentially leeching off them. And these people in the building act all high and mighty when they see them. They work so hard, and the people in the building are treated like pampered princesses. The workers curse as they work, and the more they do, the louder they curse.
In the last week before the Lunar New Year, a technical assistant factory that had been vacant at the fan factory was suddenly filled by a new employee.
"The higher-ups are doing a great job keeping things secret!" Yu Jun was so angry when he received the call late at night that he smashed his cup.
He paced angrily for a few steps, then put on his clothes and went outside.
At this moment, Madam Yu stopped dodging and quickly came over to stop her, saying, "What are you doing? It's late at night. You don't care about the impact, but Xiao Yao does."
Yu Jun roared, "I've done nothing wrong and I'm upright!"
Madam Yu, suppressing her spittle, waited until Yu Jun finished spitting before offering a smile. "I know, I know, outsiders don't know. You know how terrifying gossip can be. Tell me what you want to say, and I'll make a trip and relay it to you word for word. Okay, okay?" She had overheard a bit earlier and, seeing how angry the old man was, she had hidden herself away. Old Yu was easily appeased, especially when angry; he was an old man, and she wasn't patient enough to coax him. She wanted someone to coax her.
Yao Fanghua was initially relieved that no one had been assigned to her position, but then a huge bombshell hit her. Yao Fanghua asked where the person had been transferred from. Madam Yu shrugged, "They only said to report tomorrow, nothing else. The official document should be sent to your unit first thing tomorrow morning. Go see Lao Yu then." This was a complete mess; everyone was eager to reap the benefits, no wonder Lao Yu was angry.
Yao Fanghua nodded and personally escorted Madam Yu back home.
"No need, I can walk by myself. I wouldn't feel at ease letting a young girl like you come back by herself."
"It's okay, I have my third one. It's very capable. I'll take this opportunity to go for a walk."
Seeing Yao Fanghua's insistence, Madam Yu didn't refuse again. Indeed, Little Yao's dog was well-bred; having it by her side provided a great sense of security, and it was also intelligent and obedient. Madam Yu admired and liked it very much, and even thought about getting a large dog like that herself, preferably a female. Since her own nephew hadn't paired up with Yao Fanghua, it would be nice if their dogs could.
On the way, Madam Yu advised Yao Fanghua, "You are still young, and you have a long road ahead of you with plenty of opportunities. I guess the higher-ups took your age into consideration, which is why they sent someone experienced and prudent." She thought that since it was a deputy factory manager, the higher-ups must have sent someone older and more experienced.
Yao Fanghua was indeed a little depressed. She had been thinking that even if she couldn't get promoted now, she could make some more contributions in two or three years, and with enough experience and ability, she would eventually be promoted. Unexpectedly, someone came to fill the vacancy. She wondered if this person would be as talented as her teacher.
the next day.
Shen Jiao touched her newly permed hair, wearing a turtleneck sweater, long jeans, and heeled leather shoes, with a long, pure white down jacket over it, and reported to the fan factory.
Today was her first day working at the fan factory, and Qi Dongming arranged a car to take her there.
Shen Jiao got out of the car with great confidence. She was timid about being the head of the technical department, but she wasn't worried at all about being the deputy factory director.
Just like Qi Ge taught her, as a leader, all you need to do is issue orders and tasks; the subordinates will do the work. All you need to do is establish your leadership position and give orders and instructions. Yao Fanghua isn't capable, so she'll just have to do her job well. Being able to be above Yao Fanghua excites her.
Yao Fanghua knew someone was coming today. Last night, she even tried to convince herself that she could learn a lot from the new leader, since she lacked experience. She just hadn't expected it to be Shen Jiao. If she had known, all her efforts to convince herself would have been in vain.
They were waiting in the conference room to welcome the new leader, but when they saw Shen Jiao walk in, Yao Fanghua's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Sitting next to Yao Fanghua, Zhang Hua became even more gloating: "I didn't expect the new deputy factory manager to be so young! She's really young and promising!" She's also quite alluring; look at her face, look at her clothes, she even brings her own perfume with her. He could smell it even from where he was sitting, so he quickly lowered his head and pinched his nose. Last time, when this woman came with the leaders to attend the production line launch ceremony, he was overwhelmed by her fragrance.
Director Geng was stunned when he saw the newcomer. "Isn't this... isn't this that good-for-nothing?" he thought. "No wonder he came with the leaders to the production line launch ceremony last time. I thought it was strange—why were two people from the machinery factory here?" Later, he heard Lao Yu mutter that Qi Dongming was probably getting a promotion, and he even nodded in agreement. So, the promotion is for someone else! The newcomer was just there to scout things out beforehand with the leaders.
Yang Qing was also stunned. This person had a grudge against Yao Fanghua.
The two of them glanced at Yao Fanghua secretly at the same time.
The atmosphere around Yao Fanghua grew even colder.
Zhang Hua couldn't hold it in any longer and sneezed loudly. He quickly covered his mouth and nose even more tightly. He couldn't help it; his nose was exceptionally sensitive to all kinds of smells, and even the scent of flowers in spring and summer would trigger a series of sneezes.
After sneezing loudly, Zhang Hua gave an awkward smile, then pinched his nose even tighter, breathing entirely through his mouth.
Shen Jiao had memorized her speech perfectly over the past few days, and now, standing here, she spoke fluently and beautifully, with complete ease. After saying "Thank you everyone, and please continue to support me in the future," everyone applauded.
Yao Fanghua remained seated.
When Shen Jiao became her boss, Yao Fanghua felt it was an insult to her, an insult to her diligent studies, an insult to those several boxes full of books! It was an insult to the idea that knowledge is power, an insult to her dedication to the rise of her motherland!!
Ah, those of noble birth tread high positions. Those adorned in silk and brocade are not the ones who raise silkworms.
Yao Fanghua just wanted to rush out of the meeting room.
