"Guoan's wife, I know that old man Zhang Degen is dishonest and must have disappointed you, but the soap factory isn't just his, it belongs to everyone in the village. We've all finally had a good time, and now we can live a better life. Instead of looking down on old man Zhang Degen, look down on everyone in the village, can you..."
"Uncle Wu, you should know me. If it's a small matter that can be handled, I won't let anything happen to the factory. But this matter is really not that easy. The soap factory is so prosperous, who wouldn't be jealous? And you have seen what state the team leader is in now. Some things can't be solved by persuasion. If I say something now, he will just think I am mean-spirited, and it will have the opposite effect."
"Then I'll go and tell him. I know him. If it's about the soap factory, he won't be vague."
Li Miaomiao shook her head. "It's not that easy, and it can't be explained in a few words. For one thing, the quality of our soap isn't as good as it used to be. Management is also a problem. We've taken such big steps that management can't keep up. And with so much selfishness, problems are bound to arise sooner or later. And as for the county, Uncle Wu, honestly, their attitude is much more ambiguous now, isn't it?"
Accountant Wu was shocked when he heard what Li Miaomiao said.
"There are some things that the captain can't understand, but the leader can see far ahead from a high position." Li Miaomiao said this with a meaningful tone.
"Guoan's wife, didn't you say that the county leaders also hope that we can build the factory and become a model for the county? They were supportive before, too. Why?"
Accountant Wu was anxious and spoke much faster.
"I did say that, and the county leaders did too. But what was the situation then, and what is it now? The captain's attitude is not only visible to us, but also to the leaders. Let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about our village school. I spent a lot of energy on this school back then, even getting all the information from the provincial capital, just so the children in the village could learn more. At the beginning, the captain took it very seriously, but now..."
Li Miaomiao had told Li Yanan some things last time, and when she returned home and saw the little guy Pei Yifan, he told her a lot of things.
Zhang Degen is really getting carried away now. He is flattered every day, and coupled with the impact of interests, he can't resist it at all. His whole state is completely different.
Not to mention Zhang Degen, even Wang Chunhua, the wife of a team leader, was so majestic and acted superior in front of the people in her own village, let alone in front of people from other villages.
Who can get used to this kind of attitude?
Accountant Wu fell silent after hearing this. He knew that people would change, but he didn't expect that it would be Zhang Degen. In the past, Zhang Degen was really thinking about the village wholeheartedly. He didn't know when the life in the village got better and he was praised more, and he became like this now.
"Guoan wife, is it really not going to work? We've all watched the factory grow from a workshop to where it is today. How come now that the factory is thriving, things are not going well for you?"
"Even though the situation has changed a bit these days, it's still not the time to be so high-profile. Besides, profits will attract attention. If we don't pay attention..."
Accountant Wu understood this, but he was completely silent this time. He had had such worries before, but with Li Miaomiao there, taking charge and taking everything into consideration, doing things in advance, he felt that it shouldn't come to this.
Now that Li Miaomiao is going to the provincial capital and will no longer be in charge of the factory's affairs, it's time for him to reconsider his future.
"Uncle Wu, I'm telling you this from the bottom of my heart because I see how loyal you are to me and how thoughtful you are about everything."
"Guoan wife, what do you think I should do from now on?"
Accountant Wu was very confused at this time. In the past, he had to consider only how to deal with the affairs of the factory and how to compete with Zhang Degen so that the factory would not be controlled by Zhang Degen. But now, according to what Li Miaomiao said, he was afraid that staying in the soap factory was not a good choice.
"Uncle Wu, if I were you, I would make up my mind to leave the soap factory and work hard in the village. Don't get involved with the soap factory anymore and make sure you cut it off completely."
As soon as Li Miaomiao said this, Accountant Wu's expression changed again: "What's going on? Is it really this serious?"
"Uncle Wu, do you think I'm kidding? You're more aware than me. Think about it, what would happen if something went wrong?"
Li Miaomiao has made it so clear. If Accountant Wu still has a unclear mind, he has lived all these years in vain.
Accountant Wu knew Li Miaomiao very well. She would not easily say anything that she was uncertain about. Since she had reminded him of this and was so certain, it was very likely that something would happen to the soap factory. It seemed that he had to make a decision.
I'm reluctant to let go of it, after all, the factory I built is like my own child, but I have to make the decision when I have to. If it really comes to that...
"Okay, I understand."
"Some things, when you say them, others may not believe you, and it may even bring you trouble."
"I understand, Guoan's wife, what you said here today has entered my ears, and not a single word will be spread out. As for how to leave the soap factory, I already have an idea in mind. It's hard to stay, and it's even harder to leave. Old man Zhang Degen is eager for me to leave the soap factory. They are the father and son who have the final say in the factory."
Li Miaomiao didn't say anything else after hearing this. She had said enough today. As long as Accountant Wu really believed in her and listened to what she said, he would know what to do.
"Well, it's already very late, I won't waste your time, Uncle Wu. You are a smart man, you should make your own judgment."
Accountant Wu personally sent Li Miaomiao to the door, and watched Li Miaomiao walk farther and farther away and disappear into the night, with an unpredictable expression on his face. He stood there for a long while, sighed, and then went into the house.
"Boss, what did Guoan's wife say? She knows everything about the factory. Are we just going to let it go like this?"
"This is a man's business, don't interfere. Guoan's wife knows what's going on. Zhang Degen, that old fox, thought he didn't need Guoan's wife anymore now that the soap factory has developed to this point. He forced her away. Sooner or later, he'll regret it, but by then it will be too late."
Accountant Wu's wife didn't understand what he said and wanted to ask more questions, but Accountant Wu refused to say a word and didn't tell her what his plans were.
The woman has long hair and short knowledge, don't ruin his business. Although he admits that Li Miaomiao is a capable woman, his own woman has a brain that is not much better than paper.
