Back in her office, Lin Wencui first calmed herself down before starting to pack her things.
Now that she is the deputy factory director, the factory office has arranged a new office for her, so she has to move first for the convenience of her work.
Just then, Li Chunni walked in excitedly from outside.
"Auntie, are you moving to the new office? I'll help you."
"You little rascal..." Lin Wencui realized something was wrong as she was only halfway through her sentence. Over the years, she had gotten used to calling him that.
"Hey Chunni, who told you I was moving to a new office?"
"It's Director Zhang! Who else could it be? She said you were probably packing your things right now, so I came!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Wencui nodded and did not ask any further questions. Director Zhang used to be her subordinate, and he was a shrewd man!
How could one miss such an opportunity to curry favor?
There wasn't much stuff in the office. After the two finished packing, they carried two cardboard boxes, one in front of the other, to the new office.
"Wow! Auntie, this office is much bigger and more impressive than the old one."
Looking at Li Chunni, who was easily startled, Lin Wencui shook her head. It seemed that this child's self-control was not good enough.
But she didn't realize that although the deputy factory director and the chairman of the trade union seem to be only one level apart, the difference between them is like heaven and earth, and they are incomparable.
"Chunni, you need to work on correcting your carefree and easily startled habits. You already have several children, why are you still acting like you did when you first came to the city?"
To everyone's surprise, Li Chunni didn't care at all when she heard this. Instead, she stepped forward, grabbed Lin Wencui's arm, and swayed it while acting coquettishly.
“Aunt, I’m only like this in front of you. I don’t act like this in public. Really, I’m not lying to you.”
"Okay, okay, your aunt believes you, is that alright?"
Unable to resist the shaking any longer, Lin Wencui finally had no choice but to raise her hands in surrender.
"Hehehe! That's more like it." Li Chunni finally put her hand down, revealing a smug look on her face.
...
Just as the two were talking, the loudspeaker outside suddenly came on, broadcasting several announcements in succession.
The first item was the notice that Director Yang would once again take charge of the steel rolling mill.
The workers were no strangers to Director Yang, and now that they knew he had returned to power, many of them were filled with regret.
Back when Director Yang was still the cleaning crew member, he was often ridiculed by these people.
I wonder if he will bring up old grievances now that he's back in power?
Immediately afterwards, the second announcement was broadcast, which unexpectedly triggered an uproar at the steel rolling mill.
"What? Who is this Lin Wencui? Judging from the name, she must be a woman. How could she become the deputy factory director?"
"Hehe! You newbie here, huh? You'd better do your research before you say that, or you'll regret it and not even know how you died."
Hearing this from someone, the outspoken worker instinctively shivered.
"Comrade, please don't misunderstand. I didn't mean to look down on women. I'm just curious, haha! Curious."
...
The kitchen of the third canteen.
Ma Hua, who was chopping vegetables, suddenly heard the news, immediately put down his knife, and ran over to Sha Zhu.
"Master, did you hear that? Your matchmaker has become the deputy factory director."
Sha Zhu, who was resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes and glared at his apprentice when he heard him making a fuss.
"I heard you, I'm not deaf, what are you yelling about?"
"No, Master, that's not what I meant. Didn't the announcement just say that our logistics are also under Deputy Factory Director Lin's jurisdiction? I was just thinking that we'll have connections above us from now on!"
"Go away, go do your work. All you do is fuss over nothing. If you have this energy, you should be thinking about how to cook a good dish."
After being scolded by Sha Zhu, Ma Hua muttered to himself and went back to chopping vegetables.
Master Chef Yang, a veteran chef in the kitchen, watched the unlucky kid get scolded and shook his head with a smile.
Sometimes, even if we see through something, we can still remain good friends if we don't say it outright.
Now that you've put it so clearly, they won't be able to show favoritism towards you next time.
Liu Lan, who was squatting in the corner busy with something, glanced at Sha Zhu with envious eyes.
After all, what Ma Hua said earlier was right. With Lin Wencui's status as a matchmaker, as long as Sha Zhu doesn't cause trouble, no one should be able to do anything to him.
This scene, which took place in the kitchen, was also playing out elsewhere, such as in the publicity department, the forging workshop, and the electrical engineering section.
It's just that some people are more low-key, while others are more flamboyant.
Around noon, Lin Wencui's office welcomed its first guest, the newly appointed logistics director, Ma.
He had just finished tidying up his office and rushed over to pay his respects.
"Hello, Deputy Factory Director Lin, from now on our logistics will be under your supervision. Please take good care of us. Just let me know if you need anything."
"Director Ma, please don't be so polite, please have a seat." Lin Wencui gestured with her hand and then said to Li Chunni.
"Chunni, what are you standing there for? Go pour Director Ma a cup of tea."
"Okay! I'll go right away."
Li Chunni was a little confused. What was wrong with her aunt today? Why did she insist that she stay temporarily? Was it so that she would be made to pour tea for others?
However, she still obediently went to pour a cup of tea and handed it to Director Ma.
"Thanks."
Director Ma glanced at Li Chunni, politely thanked her, but already knew what was going on in his mind.
After serving the tea, Lin Wencui said, "Director Ma, I'm new here, and I'll have to rely on you veterans for logistics management in the future."
However, there is one thing I must make clear: I didn't care about the logistics system before, but from now on, the accounts must be clear, the approval process must be strict, and everything must be in full compliance with regulations.
After all, Li Huaide's matter has just ended, and we can't repeat the same mistake. Now the whole factory is watching our logistics, so we can't let our guard down. I hope you will strictly abide by the rules.”
"Yes, yes, Vice Director Lin is right," Director Ma nodded in agreement.
"But please rest assured, once we get back, I will completely revise all those unreasonable systems, and the chaotic situation we had before will absolutely not recur..."
Director Ma was indeed astute; he understood the principle of "a new emperor, a new court."
After talking for about ten minutes, Director Ma took the initiative to surrender and became one of their own.
Because he knew that Lin Wencui not only had a good husband, but also a good son, and that she had a high-ranking leader supporting her.
Therefore, it's always better to take sides voluntarily than to be forced to take sides.
With lunchtime approaching, Director Ma stood up to say goodbye.
Before leaving, however, he had two more things to say: "Deputy Factory Director Lin, according to past practice, the leaders would definitely be having dinner together today, but now...?"
Lin Wencui knew what he wanted to say and quickly reached out to interrupt him.
"Director Ma, have you forgotten what I just said? Starting today, except for necessary entertainment, all other entertainment is to be stopped. Anyone who wants to treat others should pay for it themselves. If anyone is not happy about this, let him come and find me."
"Oh, I see. Actually, I didn't prepare anything for today. Okay, you're busy, I won't bother you any longer."
After saying this, Director Ma breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to leave.
Lin Wencui also got up as a gesture of respect and escorted him to the door.
