Chapter 203: Cleaning This is a practical exercise I planned...
In the next few days, Deputy Captain He's son and his cronies insisted on chatting with Yu Qi on his way to and from get off work every day.
Yu Qi remembered the first step of the acting method taught by his cousin - to understand the life stories of different people and keep detailed records. So when they asked a question, he would ask a question in return. If the other party did not answer, he would not reply.
The two sides had been arguing for a long time but could not get any useful information, so they resorted to provoking the other.
"Dude, you've been talking about trivial things for a few days." Deputy Head He's son spoke with a sarcastic tone, "You brag about how great your mother is every day, but she's just a warehouse manager who doesn't even have the qualifications to work on the production line, right?"
"Who said that? My mother was transferred to the R&D team two days ago. She is helping to research new products!" Yu Qi retorted.
They immediately became excited. After all, they grew up under the influence of their parents who were cadres. With just a glance, they began to split into two groups, one group played the good cop and the other played the bad cop.
With their cooperation, Yu Qi confessed the entire conversation with Yu Zhile that day, even the work content that Yang Suyun casually mentioned after returning home, without even realizing that he had fallen into a trap.
Those people dug up useful information and secretly laughed at his stupidity in their hearts. They didn't feel annoyed at all when dealing with his various questions, and didn't care whether he took out a notebook to record it.
Arriving at the terminal, Yu Qi looked at the filled-up pages with words, feeling quite satisfied, and said goodbye to them happily.
Seeing Yu Zhile waiting for him in the guard room, he quickly stepped forward and handed over his notebook like offering a treasure, his eyes shining: "Sister Le, this is my fifth day of recording, so what is the second step to act well?"
"Do you remember everything about them?" Yu Zhile asked.
Yu Qi nodded.
"Then I'll help you keep the notebook first. Put yourself in their shoes and think carefully about why they want to chat with you." Yu Zhile said.
Yu Qi agreed and started thinking about it immediately.
Yu Zhile went to the cafeteria to meet up with Zhang Wenxin and Ge Tai. After dinner, the three of them returned to the office and carefully sorted out the experiences of those people from childhood to adulthood, emphasizing their experiences of moving with their parents and the places they often visited recently.
They didn't finish sorting until nine o'clock in the evening. They wrote down a few locations for Grandpa Li and asked Du Sheng's people to pay attention to new places they had visited recently.
Three days later, Yu Zhile and the other two received the investigation results.
"Black market base? Fish pond in the suburbs? Printing factory?" Zhang Wenxin looked at the locations and had some ideas, but couldn't grasp the key points.
Yu Zhile saw something and asked, "What will happen to us if the new products from the factory are circulated on the black market before they are officially launched?"
"Wow, these people are really vicious." Zhang Wenxin understood the twists and turns and thought along the lines of her question, "If we didn't get the news in advance, our factory would be linked to the black market, and we can't wash it off even if we jump into the sea. If we recall all the products in time, we will not only lose a lot of money, but our credibility with our partners will also be discounted."
"No matter what the result is, the food factory will be seriously damaged." Ge Tai continued.
Yu Zhile narrowed his eyes slightly: "They are a bunch of idle playboys who can't think of such a sophisticated plan. There must be someone behind the scenes who knows about it."
"Let's get rid of those who have bad intentions and want to hinder the development of Haiyu Village." Zhang Wenxin rubbed his hands.
Yu Zhile responded: "Well, we can inform Second Aunt and Haizhu to proceed with the next plan."
"Come to think of a new method?" Zhang Wenxin touched his chin.
Yu Zhile smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if the method is old-fashioned, as long as someone falls for it."
Zhang Wenxin agreed and ran to the R&D team to find Yang Suyun and Zhang Haizhu.
Ge Tai stayed in Yu Zhile's office and asked in detail about the content of the plan that Zhang Wenxin had torn up.
The next day, Yang Suyun and Zhang Haizhu had a new hobby. After dinner, they would go out of the factory and stroll around the area.
Within two days, Deputy Head He's son and his cronies contacted them separately and developed different strategies based on their ages.
As for Zhang Haizhu, a young, unmarried woman with a birthmark on her face, they praised her openly and criticized her secretly, creating all kinds of mental pressure on her in an attempt to control her mentally. As for Yang Suyun, who was married and had children, they tempted her with the future of Yu Yang and Yu Qi, implying that her children would have no future if they continued to grow up like this, and that they could get them into the office to do comfortable jobs with unlimited prospects.
Based on the script designed by Yu Zhile, Zhang and Yang gave different reactions at different nodes and perfectly performed the process of gradual collapse.
"Le Le, they asked me to meet them at the state-owned restaurant next to the bookstore on Saturday." Zhang Haizhu reported the progress to Yu Zhile.
Yang Suyun replied: "It's Sunday."
"Very good, continue as planned. Haizhu wants money, and Second Aunt wants power." Yu Zhile wrote down the detailed location and the position of the box, and pushed two pieces of letter paper in front of them, "Copy the content and go to the newspaper office to deliver the letter to reporter Li and reporter Liu before the appointment."
The two of them agreed and buried their heads in copying.
The weekend holiday arrived as scheduled, and Zhang Haizhu and Yang Suyun went to the appointments one after another, and handed them the fake recipes prepared in advance.
They compared the two recipes of "Spicy Fried Fish Cake" and confirmed that they were the same, then began to quietly look for a small workshop to replicate it. Little did they know that after meeting Yang Suyun, two little tails followed them all the time, watching everything they did.
After pondering for several days, Yu Qi finally figured out their intentions and went to find Yu Zhile with tears in his eyes.
"Sister Le, did I do something stupid? They tricked me into believing it." His face wrinkled into a ball, his eyes panicking. "Not only did I tell them that the factory was going to sell spicy fish cakes, I also said that my mother and Sister Haizhu were the leaders of the R&D team. My mother even sneaked into the city during her holiday. Are they going to use my mother to do something bad?"
"Xiao Qi, how do you feel now?" Yu Zhile asked.
Yu Qi's hands trembled slightly, and he responded, "I'm scared. I want to bang my head against the wall. I'm afraid they'll sell the same things as Taohua Village, and I'm afraid everyone will scold my parents, brother, and Xiaolin because of the stupid things I did."
"What if you were them? How would you feel?" Yu Zhile asked.
Yu Qi thought for a moment and replied, "I am looking forward to it, happy, and a little scared. I am looking forward to the success of the plan, and happy that the plan is going smoothly, but I am also afraid of unexpected events."
"Well, remember this feeling. This is the last step I'm going to teach you." Yu Zhile knocked on the table to make him focus more. "You have to bring another person to life in front of the camera. You can't just stay at the description of him in the script, but you also have to deeply understand his fear."
Yu Qi was so frightened that he was completely unable to think.
"Don't worry, this is a real-life drill I planned. You are playing yourself," Yu Zhile explained, "and Haizhu and Second Aunt are playing the characters in my script."
Yu Qi's brows suddenly relaxed, as if he was thinking about something.
Yu Zhile let him stand there and ponder the truth, while he concentrated on his work. When he regained his consciousness, the two siblings went to the cafeteria together.
Time passed quietly, and the research on new products, shredded fish, spicy dried fish and spicy fish tofu, progressed smoothly and were soon put into production.
At the same time, the son of Deputy Head He and his team encountered a big problem. They did not have a special machine for making fish paste, so they could only make fish paste by hand, which was difficult to produce in large quantities.
The longer the battle line is stretched, the faster their anxiety grows, and there is already a tendency for infighting to occur.
Under the guidance of Du's men, reporters Li and Liu conducted more in-depth investigations into them and began to find out how their parents' generation had abused their positions for personal gain.
Everything was exposed in late April, when ordinary people in Beijing were attracted by a striking headline in a morning newspaper one day: "Children of cadres secretly opened small workshops and colluded with black market leaders. What role did their parents play behind the scenes?"
Although the report did not specify the names, the profile pictures of Deputy Head He's son and his cronies made it easy for people familiar with them to recognize their identities at a glance.
Rumors spread all over the city, and many people went to the department where their parents worked to complain and protest. They were taken away by the police, their parents were stopped from being investigated, and all the items in the small workshop were confiscated.
"To harm others will ultimately harm oneself[1]. It is so satisfying to see them meet such a fate." Zhang Wenxin felt extremely relieved after reading the newspaper.
Yu Zhile said calmly, "This is just the beginning. We can't relax until we get rid of the roots hidden under the soil."
Zhang Wenxin nodded in agreement and turned to discuss the details of the new product launch with her.
A few days later, a rumor spread quietly. According to an unknown source, they did this to frame Haiyu Food Factory and take the opportunity to make a fortune. As a result, the food factory's new products received more attention and were in everyone's appetite.
The next day, the city's largest department store took advantage of everyone's attention and launched three new products at once, attracting everyone to rush to buy them.
More orders flew to Yu Zhile's desk like snowflakes, making the factory's production schedule thicker than an inch.
In the following half a month, whenever the heat of the incident died down, new gossip would circulate. Gradually, this incident became a must-talk topic after dinner, and everyone waited to see the final outcome like watching a radio show about history.
In view of such attention, the relevant departments dared not take it lightly and punished strictly in accordance with relevant regulations. Those who had committed favoritism and fraud were sent to farms for reform.
Unfortunately, there are no regulations on infringement of trade secrets nowadays, and the younger generation had not caused any substantial harm to the food factory. They were only detained for a dozen days. After they were released from prison, they were sent to different farms along with their parents.
As the penalty notices were posted, people's attention to the matter gradually faded, and few people knew that their subsequent transformation location became a farm in the northwest.
The lives of the employees of Haiyu Food Factory gradually returned to normal as the farce came to an end, and production speed returned to normal.
Yu Zhile works overtime less frequently and goes back to the city more often.
"Your decision to send them to the northwest?" She shifted her gaze from the tofu grid on the newspaper and turned to Zhou Yuesheng. "Why haven't I heard you mention this before?"
Zhou Yuesheng reduced the intensity of the massage and said in a resentful tone: "The last time we met, we only had fifteen minutes. I see you didn't have enough time, so how could you remember such an insignificant thing."
Yu Zhile found it funny, so he turned around to face him, threw him a wink, and said, "Tonight is so long, Captain Zhou can take his time to watch as much as he wants."
"Just looking is not enough." Zhou Yuesheng lifted the quilt and pulled her into it.
The quilt flipped, the newspaper was thrown high, then floated down to the ground, and lay quietly until midnight.
In early June, some varieties of apricots were ripe. Grandpa Li got more than a dozen baskets from somewhere and distributed them to everyone, so that the fragrance of apricots in the factory lingered for a long time.
At that time, Yu Zhile received the first good news. Lan Yuanyuan finally graduated. She was going to move back to the factory and set up a new clothing production team in Beijing. The name of the clothing brand was Lan, and the logo was still drawn by Xiaobao.
"This brand only makes three things: skirts, scarves and hats." Lan Yuanyuan listed them one by one, and flipped through a stack of design drafts with very fresh colors, "Our brand only does this style!"
"We?" Yu Zhile looked puzzled.
Lan Yuanyuan explained: "This is the design draft that my aunt and I drew together. If we can be independent in the future, it will be registered under my and my aunt's names. We want to make it so well known to the whole country!"
Yu Zhile suddenly realized and asked her to broadcast after get off work to recruit people with good skills to make clothes.
When Grandpa Li learned of her lofty ambitions, he immediately cleared out an empty living room in the house, brought back ten sewing machines, and went to the textile factory to order a batch of cloth that met her requirements for her use.
Since then, the Du family's house was no longer silent, but more lively. Grandma Li often made small desserts for them, and even made two extra portions for her to take to Yu Zhile and Zhang Wenxin.
The second piece of good news was brought back by Chen Zhao when he came back to the factory to visit everyone. His first and second episodes are already in the post-production stage, and the first episode will be broadcast on the Dragon Boat Festival. After that, it will be updated on time at 7pm every three weeks, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
"I have a little surprise prepared for you, just wait and see." He raised his head proudly as he spoke.
No matter how people asked, he never revealed any joy, which whetted everyone's appetite and made everyone keep the premiere date firmly in mind.
Yu Chuyue came back with him, and she was much calmer. According to her description, the work of the science and education group was much simpler than the financial work in the factory, and she was doing very well.
The two stayed in the factory for two days. As usual, they went to study sessions at night to share interesting things they encountered in their new jobs and their work processes, which broadened everyone's horizons.
Yu Chuyue quietly told Yu Zhile and Zhang Wenxin that the science and education group had been very busy recently, and she would come back more frequently recently.
As she said, the science and education group announced the list of students going abroad before the Dragon Boat Festival, and her name was on the list.
