In contrast to Deputy Director Wang's worries, Deputy Director Li snorted coldly, "What's the panic? If she wants to set up a factory, she has to go through us. If we don't agree, she can't do anything about it."
Deputy Director Wang frowned. "But she just left like that, saying she had to go back and report to her superiors. I'm afraid this whole thing will fall through."
Setting up a feed processing plant can only benefit us. We don't need to worry about funding, equipment, technical personnel, construction materials, or manpower.
Deputy Director Li still sneered, "Don't worry, she's probably just saying that to throw a tantrum! Humph! She's just a little girl, but she has quite the temper!"
Just because she's a military dependent and has the army backing her up, she doesn't respect our commune leaders! We can't let her get away with this!
Director Ma remained silent.
He knew better than anyone how much benefit this feed processing plant would bring to their commune.
What if it really falls through...
Thinking of this, he slammed his hand on the table in frustration. "Alright! All of you, say less! This Comrade Guan certainly has quite a temper, but think about it carefully, she's come three times already, and we've refused her every time. Do you think she might actually believe it? Does she really think we don't agree to set up a factory?"
Deputy Director Wang was worried about this: “Director, it’s not a big deal if she just throws a tantrum, but I’m afraid she might actually do it!”
What if she really goes back to the army to report, and the army goes directly to another commune... or the army thinks we can't handle it here and changes their mind... wouldn't that be a difficult situation?"
This is exactly what Director Ma is afraid of.
The military almost entirely funded the establishment of this factory.
If they change their minds or go somewhere else, he'll regret it terribly!
Seeing that Director Ma's expression had also changed, Deputy Director Wang said anxiously, "Director, we've already smoothed things over with the military, and the funds and equipment are all in place, but it's stuck here... If word gets out, it will have a terrible impact!"
Deputy Director Li remained unconvinced, saying, "Don't panic. She's just a young woman; she doesn't have the ability to persuade the military leaders to change their minds."
But Director Ma panicked. "No, we have to find a way to salvage this! We can't let this opportunity slip away."
Deputy Director Wang tentatively suggested, "Director, how about... we compromise? The factory still needs to be run, otherwise we won't be able to explain it, but the factory director... we absolutely can't let her be the one! The risk is too great."
Deputy Director Li looked at him and said, "But she won't budge now because she wants the factory director's position."
Deputy Director Wang raised an eyebrow. "Let's make her the factory director too. A deputy factory director is still a factory director, isn't he?"
Upon hearing this, Director Ma and Deputy Director Li exchanged a glance.
They clearly thought the idea was feasible.
There can be only one factory director, but there can be two or three deputy factory directors.
It wouldn't be unreasonable to let Guan Wenru occupy an insignificant position in the auxiliary factory.
After thinking it through, Director Ma immediately slammed his fist on the table, "Then let her be the deputy factory director, in charge of specific technology and production, is that alright? The position of factory director must be filled by a trustworthy and experienced male comrade appointed by the commune! In this way, we can both set up the factory and ensure that the leadership is in our hands."
Deputy Director Wang nodded with a smile, "This method is feasible. The deputy factory director is also an important leadership position! It reflects the commune's care and respect for the families of soldiers."
In Deputy Director Li's opinion, she shouldn't even be in the position of deputy factory director, but in order to appease the troops, this was the only option.
He snorted, "That's settled then. She's a woman, she should be content to become the deputy factory director, and she should be grateful for the commune's trust and arrangement!"
Director Ma smiled and said, "This arrangement is the safest! I'll draft a preliminary opinion right away. Old Wang, you should contact Comrade Guan Wenru as soon as possible and tell her that after careful consideration, the commune party committee has decided to appoint her as the deputy director of the feed processing plant to preside over the specific work. As for the director, the commune should select a capable cadre as soon as possible. Have her come again today to avoid any unforeseen problems."
“Okay, she left her contact information beforehand.”
......
Because of the driver's pick-up and drop-off service, it only took Guan Wenru half an hour to get back to the family compound after leaving the commune compound.
Seeing that she came back so quickly, Guan Wanxin raised an eyebrow. "They're still stuck over there."
"Yeah, they don't want me to be the factory manager."
Guan Wanxin guessed this: "They still haven't figured out the difference between the two kings."
They don't need to get involved in funding, equipment, or any preparatory work, including the factory's construction materials and labor.
If it weren't for policy restrictions, this factory wouldn't have used their commune's name as its name.
But they are still greedy, purely because they have been spoiled by the so-called policies!
Guan Wenru wasn't worried at all that things wouldn't work out; she prepared to take out paper and pen to continue writing her plan.
We should start hiring during the factory construction period.
There were many unemployed military dependents in the compound, and she wanted to arrange for her sisters-in-law who had shown her kindness to work in the factory as much as possible.
However, in order to avoid disputes, some job positions also had to be allocated to the commune members.
She still needs to carefully consider the specific proportion.
She had only written a few words when the landline rang.
Guan Wenru answered the phone, "Hello, who is this?"
"Xiao Guan, I'm Deputy Director Wang from the commune."
Upon hearing this voice, Guan Wenru narrowed her eyes. "Oh... Deputy Director Wang, is there something you need?"
"Xiao Guan, it's like this, after you left..."
Guan Wenru calmly listened to him ramble on and on.
She finally grasped the key point.
In other words, they wanted her to be their deputy.
Guan Wenru's eyes were calm and unwavering, while a knowing yet cold smile curved at the corners of her lips.
