Chapter 105 Divorce "Thank you, Wang Ying."
Wang Ying returned to the office and wanted to continue discussing the Shanghai market with Director Xiang, but Director Xiang flatly rebuffed her, telling her to stop targeting him. Wang Ying thought, "Then I'll just go home and talk to Director Zhao..."
Wang Ying spent the entire morning catching up on work she'd missed from yesterday's leave, and by the time she was almost done, it was time for lunch. Arriving in the cafeteria, she sat down with her team members, as usual, and after getting her food, Wang Ying said, "Thank you for the gifts! I can't even tell who gave them to me."
"You're welcome, you're welcome." The team members said one after another, and then told what they had given as gifts. Wang Ying took note of it and prepared to give them gifts in return on their birthdays.
Before eating, Wang Ying took out a handful of milk candies from his pocket and gave one to each of them.
"Oh, what a rare thing! This is a specialty of Shanghai." said Xu Lili.
Wang Ying smiled and said, "Yeah, when will our factory be able to produce a flagship product like this? People all over the country will know about it and like it."
Zhou Qianjin said: "If we all work together, there will definitely be a day like this."
"Okay! Let's work together!" Wang Ying said with a smile.
As they chatted and laughed, Xu Lili suddenly said, "By the way, Team Leader, Lin Fanghua came to see you during lunch yesterday."
"Did she say anything?" Wang Ying asked.
"She didn't say anything. She didn't look well. She left without finding you," said Xu Lili.
Luo Wenshu added, "She's definitely got something wrong, probably something at home. Team leader, be careful. Don't let that husband of hers get into trouble again."
Wang Ying stood up and looked around the cafeteria. Not seeing Lin Fanghua, she said, "I'll go to the sauce factory to see her later."
Xu Lili sighed, "Women are always afraid of marrying the wrong man! Lin Fanghua is such a capable person, but she's still being bullied by her husband's family."
Tian Yulan said: "So, it's best not to get married."
Wu Haiyang quickly said, "Don't be afraid of a single incident. Not all men are like that."
Tian Yulan didn't answer. She had seen through men anyway and was determined not to get married.
Wang Ying, who was already married, couldn't say anything. Marriage is like a gamble; who knows what will happen in the future...
After lunch, Wang Ying went directly to the sauce factory, but did not find Lin Fanghua. Her colleagues told her that she had taken a leave of absence today.
Wang Ying asked Lin Fanghua why she had asked for leave, and her colleague said she was on sick leave. But from what the colleague said, it seemed that Lin Fanghua had asked for leave because of family matters. Lin Fanghua had been in a bad mood for the past few days, and her arm seemed to be injured. She felt pain when others touched her.
Wang Ying thought that the injury on Lin Fanghua's arm was probably caused by her husband.
After coming out of the sauce factory, Wang Ying did not go back to the office directly, but turned around to find Qian Tongsheng.
Qian Tongsheng had just finished his meal and was in a good mood. The non-staple food factory had been performing well recently and its new products were still popular. When he saw Wang Ying coming to him, he smiled.
"Is there anything I can help you with, Director Wang?" Qian Tongsheng said.
Wang Ying said, "Director, do you still remember the theme of our Labor Day this year?"
Qian Tongsheng said, "I remember. What's wrong?"
"I think the factory should pay attention to Comrade Lin Fanghua. She didn't come to work today. Maybe something happened at home. I think if our factory doesn't care, it will not be good if the Women's Federation or the police intervene first." Wang Ying said.
Qian Tongsheng's expression suddenly became serious. He said, "You're right. I'll ask someone to go to her house to check. You don't have to go."
Wang Ying hadn't wanted to go in the first place. Lin Fanghua's psychopathic husband might still hold a grudge against her. If she went, it might irritate him again.
"Okay, then you send someone and tell them that she is sick and the company is going to visit her," said Wang Ying.
"Well, I know. You should go back to work." Qian Tongsheng said.
Wang Ying returned to the office, but he was still worried about Lin Fanghua. He was worried all afternoon and ate several milk candies.
Director Xiang saw Wang Ying eating candies one after another and couldn't help but ask, "Why do you like this candy so much?"
"Ah, I like to eat it. It's candy from Shanghai, who doesn't like it?" Wang Ying deliberately mentioned the word Shanghai.
Director Xiang ignored her again.
At around four o'clock, Wang Ying went to submit the production report and went to find Qian Tongsheng by the way.
"You really care about your colleagues. The people who went to express their condolences haven't returned yet." Qian Tongsheng said.
"He hasn't come back yet." Wang Ying muttered.
As he was speaking, there was a knock on the office door. When he came in, he saw that it was the two comrades sent by Qian Tongsheng to visit Lin Fanghua.
Both of them were angry. When they saw Qian Tongsheng, the female comrade said, "Director, we have to help Comrade Lin Fanghua!"
"What's wrong with her!" Wang Ying asked hurriedly.
"Her husband beat her pretty badly!" another male colleague said. He then glanced at Wang Ying with a complicated expression and said, "Lin Fanghua isn't coming to work because she wants to stay home and keep her husband away from causing trouble for Director Wang."
The woman said angrily, "I don't know what's wrong with her husband. He insists that Lin Fanghua was led astray by Director Wang and starts talking about causing trouble for Director Wang. Lin Fanghua has no choice but to keep an eye on him at home."
Wang Ying hadn't expected that she would become Lin Fanghua's weak spot. Her husband was clearly using her to threaten Lin Fanghua. Lin Fanghua's current approach was not a good one, as it would easily be manipulated by her husband.
Qian Tongsheng had never expected Lin Fanghua's husband to be such a person. He asked, "Have you tried to persuade him?"
"He didn't listen to any advice at all and almost beat us up!" said the female comrade.
Qian Tongsheng's face turned dark.
Wang Ying said, "If that doesn't work, we'll still report it to the Women's Federation or the police. If it's beyond the limits of what our factory can mediate, we'll have to report it to a higher level."
"I understand. You all go back first." Qian Tongsheng said.
Wang Ying felt that Qian Tongsheng would definitely find it troublesome and be afraid of causing trouble, so he probably wouldn't report it to his superiors for the time being, and might even fire Lin Fanghua.
What surprised Wang Ying was that after get off work in the evening, Director Zhao told her that Director Qian had asked someone to report Lin Fanghua's case to the Women's Federation.
"He really reported it?" Wang Ying couldn't believe it.
Director Zhao had a complicated expression: "If you really report it, he's afraid he won't report it. If you report it, you might exaggerate it and try to make him look bad."
Chen Xiuqin burst out laughing, and Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng also laughed.
"Tsk, how could the factory director be like that? I'm not that kind of person." Wang Ying said with a smile, "Just report it. If the Women's Federation can't solve it, report it to the police."
Director Zhao said, "Look, how could the factory director not be afraid of you? He always reports to the police."
The whole family laughed, and Wang Ying said, "That can't be helped. I have to ensure my own safety."
"Old Qian is so happy to do this because it involves you. Otherwise, with his temper, he would have dragged it out and covered it up," said Director Zhao.
Wang Ying was very happy to hear what Director Zhao said. It turned out that one should not be soft-hearted, otherwise one would be bullied.
Wang Ying took out the milk candy that Director Xiang had given them and gave it to them. Then he said, "Dad, I want to go to Shanghai. Is there any way I can get there?"
"Going to Shanghai? What are you going to Shanghai for?" Director Zhao asked.
Wang Ying pointed to the milk candy on the table and said, "I want to go to this factory to learn, visit and inspect it."
Director Zhao was speechless for a moment. After several seconds, he said, "You're really imagining this. We're so far behind them, and we don't have much contact with them. How can we possibly connect with them?"
"Is there no way at all? What if you don't go to this factory to study, but just go to Shanghai to take a look? Is that okay?" Wang Ying said.
"Do you mean using the official website?" Director Zhao said.
"Of course I still hope to go in an official way. If that doesn't work, I can go privately. But do we have any relatives in Shanghai? Can we go?" Wang Ying only remembered that the Zhao family had relatives in Beijing.
"It's not easy anyway," Director Zhao said. "Why would the factory send you there for no reason?"
"Market research, let's see what Shanghai's grocery stores are selling." Wang Ying was talking when an idea suddenly struck him. He remembered the vacuum packaging machine and said, "Oh, Director Xiang said that Shanghai seems to have developed a vacuum packaging machine. Maybe we can go and check it out and see if we can introduce it to our factory."
"Vacuum packaging machine?" Director Zhao was attracted by this word.
"Yes, you can vacuum pack the food, which can extend the shelf life and preserve the flavor," said Wang Ying.
"Like a can?" Director Zhao asked.
"Yes, yes, it's like canned food. But it's not as expensive as canned food. It doesn't require glass bottles or metal lids, just plastic bags," said Wang Ying.
Director Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "Your Director Xiang is, after all, a top student. He knows a lot."
Wang Ying felt a little guilty, as she was the one who told Director Xiang... But that was not important. What was important was that she had to strive for the opportunity to go to Shanghai and broaden her horizons.
"Director, what do you think? Won't the factory consider it?" Wang Ying said with blinking eyes.
"I'll find a chance to bring it up with Lao Qian and the others," Director Zhao said. "But we don't know what the machine will look like yet. We need to verify it thoroughly before considering whether the factory should introduce it. We'll also need to determine if the conditions and necessity exist, and whether higher-ups will approve it... These are all issues."
"I know," Wang Ying said. "The problem can be solved. I'm not going to the Shanghai Stock Exchange today."
"Even if they are going to introduce it, we may not ask you to go when the time comes." Director Zhao poured cold water on Wang Ying.
"I will try my best, and Dad will help me to fight for it." Wang Ying said.
Director Zhao looked at Wang Ying and knew she was wholeheartedly committed to the factory's development, so he didn't refuse. At the same time, he rolled his eyes at Zhao Yunsheng, wishing he could share some of Yingzi's ambition with his son.
Zhao Yunsheng received a cold stare from his father, and he knew why without asking. But he didn't care. He had his own pursuits. He had just sent a new short story and a reply letter to Bai Tong, and was looking forward to his reply.
The next day at work, Wang Ying deliberately said to Director Xiang, "Director, if the factory sends me to Shanghai, will you go?"
Director Xiang looked at Wang Ying and asked, "Have you told the factory director?"
"I told Director Zhao about this, and he's very supportive of me," Wang Ying said. "Well, not really supporting me, but mainly supporting the factory's introduction of vacuum packaging machines."
"It's great to have an elder who is a leader at home!" Director Xiang said sourly.
"It's all for the development of the factory, Director. Let's go together when the time comes." Wang Ying said with a smile.
Director Xiang did not agree. He could not agree so rashly, for fear of being cheated by Wang Ying.
In the afternoon, Wang Ying was making a report in the office when a colleague from the Security Department came to ask her to come over, saying that a comrade from the Women's Federation wanted to see her about Lin Fanghua.
Wang Ying hurriedly followed her colleagues from the security department and when she saw the person, it happened to be He Yi, the model worker she had seen at the May Day commendation meeting.
Wang Ying immediately stepped forward and shook her hand: "Hello, Comrade He Yi."
"Are you Comrade Wang Ying?" He Yi asked.
"It's me. What do you want to know?" Wang Ying said.
"Please sit down and talk," said the comrade from the security department.
Wang Ying and He Yi sat down. He Yi said, "I just came from Comrade Lin Fanghua. She herself wants a divorce."
"I also think she should divorce. Does the Women's Federation support her divorce? Her husband abuses her. It was useless even though she wrote a letter of guarantee at the Public Security Bureau last time. How can she live with such a man?" Wang Ying said. She knew that the Women's Federation would sometimes mediate reconciliation, but He Yi should not be that kind of person.
"She is worried now that after she divorces her husband, he will vent his anger on the factory and on you," said He Yi.
"That's totally unnecessary," Wang Ying said. "Go and persuade her not to let her husband control her. I'm not afraid of his revenge. Let him come! Let's see if the police arrest him! The more you're weak with this kind of person, the more he'll think you're easy to bully. If you're strong, he'll be afraid."
He Yi looked at Wang Ying, and after a few seconds, she smiled at her and said, "That's true. Many women who are bullied become weaker the more they are bullied, and the weaker they are, the more they are bullied."
He Yi asked Wang Ying some more questions about Lin Fanghua. Twenty minutes later, He Yi left.
A week later, Lin Fanghua returned to the factory to work. During lunch, she found Wang Ying and told her that she and her husband had divorced.
Wang Ying congratulated her, and then Lin Fanghua bowed deeply to Wang Ying: "Thank you, Wang Ying."
