Chapter 160: Factory Director Wang Ying is officially promoted to Director of the Panda Biscuit Factory. ...
"Shall I take you to work?"
Wang Ying has to go back to work today, and Zhao Yunsheng is worried.
"No need, it's just this short distance." Wang Ying, who was combing her hair in front of the dressing table, replied casually.
"It's just a short distance, and I'm not going to let anything happen to you." Zhao Yunsheng stood behind Wang Ying and looked at his wife in the mirror.
Wang Ying glared at Zhao Yunsheng in the mirror. Zhao Yunsheng saw this and quickly came over with a smile, half-crouching beside her. "Then take care of yourself."
"I know." Wang Ying couldn't help but smile when she saw him half-crouching and trying to please her. She touched his face and said, "Gu Xuan and the others will be coming over tonight, but they may not come to our house for dinner. You should bring back some snacks."
"Okay." Zhao Yunsheng grabbed Wang Ying's hand and kissed it on his lips.
After breakfast, the couple rode their bikes to work. When they reached a fork in the road, Wang Ying said, "Let's go," and turned off.
When Wang Ying arrived at the factory gate and got out of the car to enter the factory, she found that Zhao Yunsheng had been following her.
Wang Ying looked at him with a mixture of happiness and helplessness, not knowing what expression to use. Zhao Yunsheng simply smiled at her, blew her a kiss, and immediately turned the car around and went to work.
"Director Wang, you're back to work." The old comrade in the message room greeted Wang Ying cheerfully.
"Yes, I'm back." Wang Ying said with a smile.
"Good morning, Director Wang."
"Good morning, Director Wang."
Colleagues at the factory gate greeted Wang Ying when they saw her.
Wang Ying felt that there were more people greeting her than before... Amidst the greetings along the way, Wang Ying returned to her office.
After not having her for more than ten days, her desk was spotless, and there were a lot of documents on the table, neatly stacked in a pile.
When Shao Pengyu saw Wang Ying coming, he immediately stood up and greeted her: "Director Wang..."
"Good morning, Deputy Director Shao." Wang Ying now felt much more friendly towards Shao Pengyu.
"Director Wang, thank you." Shao Pengyu said somewhat guiltily.
"Why thank me? I should thank you. You've been doing a lot of things for me since I'm not around." Wang Ying said with a smile, "By the way, I also want to thank you for wiping the table for me..."
Shao Pengyu felt even more guilty. He had previously cleaned Wang Ying's desk mainly to look at the documents on Wang Ying's desk...
"Anyway, thank you." Shao Pengyu didn't specify why he was thanking Wang Ying. He had learned from the police and his superiors that Wang Ying hadn't said she realized she was being monitored, but they, including him, all assumed she had noticed. That's why she had reported the incident after finding something extra in her bag.
Wang Ying's silence didn't matter to her, but it was a huge help to Shao Pengyu. After all, from the perspective of surveillance, Shao Pengyu had failed in his duty. If Wang Ying was really a spy, then Shao Pengyu would have been derelict in his duty.
The two of them understood each other tacitly.
Shao Pengyu was already grateful to Wang Ying, and when he heard that she had provided assistance during the arrest, his affection for her doubled. He wished he could stay in the non-staple food factory and be her lackey.
Wang Ying just wanted to sell herself well, she didn't expect Shao Pengyu to be so appreciative.
Wang Ying began to review the production reports from the past few days. Although she knew there were no problems at the factory, she still felt uneasy unless she reviewed them herself. Furthermore, she had a meeting coming up, and she needed to be aware of the situation.
When the time came, Wang Ying stood up with his notebook and said, "Deputy Director Shao, let's go to the meeting together."
"Oh, oh, okay." Shao Pengyu also took the notebook and followed Wang Ying to the meeting room.
As soon as Wang Ying arrived at the conference room, everyone's attention was focused on her. Wang Ying smiled and greeted them: "Director Qian, Deputy Director Zheng, Director Zhao..."
Qian Tongsheng already had some inside information. He knew that Wang Ying had taken the initiative to help investigate the major case and had even made a contribution. With this information, Qian Tongsheng felt that Wang Ying was the only one who could be the director of the Panda Biscuit Factory.
"Comrade Wang Ying has finally returned to work. The factory can't do without you!" Qian Tongsheng said with a smile.
"Director, you're too polite. With you and all the leaders here, it makes no difference whether I'm here or not." Wang Ying said politely.
"That's different. Without you, there would be no Panda brand biscuits." Qian Tongsheng insisted on lifting Wang Ying high today.
"That's also due to the factory director's decision and good leadership, as well as the joint efforts of all the leaders and employees." Wang Ying saw that Factory Director Qian wanted to praise him today, so he started to praise him.
Everyone present could see that the Panda Biscuit Factory was likely going to appoint Wang Ying as the factory director. After all, as Director Qian had said, without Wang Ying, there would be no Panda brand biscuits.
The content of the meeting was no different from any other. The factory had no new products at the moment, so production just had to proceed as planned. The meeting was over in less than half an hour, and afterward, Director Qian invited Wang Ying to his office.
"Please sit down." Qian Tongsheng was very polite.
Wang Ying sat down in the reception chair and said sincerely, "I'm sorry to have worried the factory director recently. Has my matter had any negative impact on the factory?"
There were some negative effects, but they weren't significant. People were just watching for fun and out of curiosity. After all, no one was making a fuss about the food safety of the food factory, so that was fine.
But after Wang Ying said this, Qian Tongsheng still felt relieved. She was still very responsible.
"Don't worry, it won't have any impact." Qian Tongsheng said, "I went to the Public Security Bureau a few days ago, but they didn't let me see you."
Wang Ying smiled and said, "I know. A police officer told me about it, and I've also mentioned your words. Thank you, Director, you and your colleagues. You've made me feel like the factory is truly my second home."
"Okay, I've always had high hopes for you. I treat you like my own junior, and you've never let me down," Qian Tongsheng said. "Keep up the good work! The Panda Biscuit Factory is now up to you."
"Okay! I won't let you down in the future." Wang Ying said with a smile.
"Xiang Huaimin, are you developing some new technology?" Director Qian suddenly asked.
"He's at a university, so he's probably going to do something about it," Wang Ying said ambiguously. She was a little puzzled as to how Director Qian knew this. Could it be that Director Xiang had revealed the information to help her? She didn't know how much he had revealed...
Director Qian smiled and changed the subject, not asking further questions. The two of them talked about factory matters for a while, and then someone came looking for Qian Tongsheng, so Wang Ying returned to her office.
Wang Ying spent the entire morning sorting out reports from more than ten days.
When it was lunch time, Wang Ying stood up, stretched and went to the cafeteria.
Shao Pengyu habitually followed Wang Ying not too close but not too far away. He actually wanted to ask Wang Ying if he could have dinner with her, but he didn't have the courage to do so.
Xu Lili and the others were incredibly excited to see Wang Ying, and the other factory workers couldn't help but glance at her. Everyone was actually quite curious about why Director Wang was arrested and released, but no one dared to speak out. After all, those who had previously spread rumors about Director Wang had been sent to labor camps.
After they had their food, they sat down to eat. Wang Ying looked up and saw Shao Pengyu sitting not far from her. She thought, perhaps he'll keep an eye on her for a while, just in case. She thought that was fine. If she were a leader, she would do the same.
"Director, I can't even enjoy my meals when you're not around!" said Xu Lili.
Wang Ying looked at her and said, "Why do you seem to have gained some weight?"
Xu Lili's face flushed: "Is this true? Am I really fat?"
Tian Yulan looked at her and said, "It seems like you've gained weight!"
Xu Lili put down her chopsticks and touched her face with both hands: "No..."
They chatted and laughed while eating. When they finished their meal and left the cafeteria, Wang Ying whispered to Xu Lili, "You seem to have gained a bit of weight. Maybe you're pregnant and didn't notice it."
"!" Xu Lili stopped in her tracks, "Oh my god!"
"What's wrong?" Tian Yulan asked.
Xu Lili looked at Wang Ying. Her eyes, which were already big and black, became even bigger and rounder.
"Director, now that you mention it, I remember that I haven't had my period for a long time!" Xu Lili said in a low voice.
"Let's go to the hospital and check it out later." Wang Ying said.
Tian Yulan looked at Xu Lili and felt that she had gotten pregnant at the wrong time. The factory was undergoing restructuring, and her pregnancy meant the director would have one less person to work with. Furthermore, it wouldn't be good for her career either; it was unlikely she would get a promotion while pregnant.
Xu Lili herself was very happy. She touched her belly, as if she had confirmed that there was a child there.
After returning to the office, Wang Ying continued to work and did not confirm with Shao Pengyu whether he was still monitoring her.
After a busy day, Wang Ying had caught up on all the work she had accumulated previously, and when it was time to get off work, she left on time.
When Wang Ying got home from get off work, Zhao Yunsheng had not returned yet, and neither had the Gu siblings.
As soon as Yueyue saw her, she ran over and hugged her legs: "Mom! Mom!"
Chen Xiuqin smiled and said to Wang Ying, "Your daughter has asked me a hundred times today, 'Is Mom coming home today?'"
"Oh, I'm a little darling. Mommy is going to work and will be back." Wang Ying leaned over, picked up her daughter, and breathed in her sweet breath.
Wang Ying hugged and kissed her for a while, and then Zhao Yunsheng arrived home with vegetables hanging from the dragon head of the car.
"Gu Xuan and the others haven't arrived yet?"
"No, if he doesn't come now, he'll probably come after dinner." Wang Ying said, "Let's wait a little while. If he doesn't come by 7 o'clock, we can eat at home."
Gu Xuan and his sister were planning to go look for Wang Ying and the others after work, but their mother stopped them and told them to have dinner first.
When the Gu siblings arrived at Wang Ying's house, it was almost eight o'clock and Wang Ying and his family had just finished their meal.
It was getting late, so Gu Xuan didn't exchange pleasantries with them and went straight to the point, wanting to buy the copyright of Zhao Yunsheng's "Late Autumn".
Zhao Yunsheng naturally agreed without hesitation, and let Gu Xuan decide on the copyright fee.
Gu Xuan said, "You can't do that. I didn't buy it for myself, I bought it for my teacher."
"To be honest, I don't know what the market price of this script is. Anyway, I trust you and you will never cheat me. If you were to shoot it, even if you just took it and didn't pay me, I would have no objection," said Zhao Yunsheng.
Gu Xuan smiled and said, "Then you're wrong. You only charge me for taking the photos. You don't have to charge me for taking the photos for my teacher. He's going to take the photos to international awards. By then, your copyright fees will definitely go up dramatically."
"Then take it." Zhao Yunsheng waved his hand.
"Just kidding, you still have to pay. If you don't pay, my teacher won't dare to shoot it." Gu Xuan took out the contract he had drafted long ago and handed it to Zhao Yunsheng, "Take a closer look, and let's put it this way."
Zhao Yunsheng read it himself and then showed it to Wang Ying.
Wang Ying saw that the contract had already been signed and stamped. She took a closer look and thought, wow, isn't this the future famous international director! He's going to film Zhao Yunsheng's book!
"What's wrong?" Zhao Yunsheng asked when he saw Wang Ying was engrossed in watching.
"Is there a problem?" Gu Xuan also asked.
Wang Ying concealed his inner excitement and handed the contract back to Zhao Yunsheng: "No problem, sign it."
Wang Ying felt that he could indeed film the film for free. He was a future international director! Wang Ying was excited just thinking about it.
Zhao Yunsheng signed his name and took out the ink pad to press his fingerprint.
The copyright fee for this novella is 2,000. Gu Xuan brought cash again, 20 stacks.
"Where's Yueyue?" Gu Xuan put the money on the table with a smile.
Wang Ying glared at him: "Don't let her develop bad habits."
Gu Xuan laughed: "It's not that easy to break."
But Yueyue was playing in Dongbao's room at the moment and didn't come to ask her uncle for money.
After the contract was signed, Wang Ying asked Gu Xuan, "When will your teacher start filming Late Autumn?"
"After I went back, I revised the script and prepared to start filming. It just so happened that autumn was about to come." Gu Xuan said.
"I'm really looking forward to it!" Gu Mei said on the side, "I don't know who to get to play the three main roles. I hope the actors are good-looking and don't let me down."
"Have you finished reading the book?" Wang Ying asked.
"I have finished reading "Late Autumn", but there are still some other books I haven't read. I didn't bring the books with me today. I will send them to you another day after I have finished reading them all," said Gu Mei.
"Don't worry, take your time."
They talked for a while, and around nine o'clock, the brother and sister said goodbye.
Wang Ying and his wife saw them out. When they reached the entrance of the alley, Gu Xuan said, "I'm going back to the capital the day after tomorrow. I probably won't be back for the New Year this year."
"Then I'd like to wish you a happy new year." Wang Ying said with a smile.
Gu Xuan chuckled twice: "Let's contact each other by letter or phone. I'll report to you on the filming progress."
Zhao Yunsheng asked, "Could you please send me a copy of the revised script?"
"Okay, if you have any good suggestions for the script, you can raise them then," said Gu Xuan.
Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng walked Gu Xuan and his sister for another half mile before waving goodbye and going home.
Zhao Yunsheng held Wang Ying's hand, and the two chatted as they walked back slowly.
Zhao Yunsheng was actually a little confused. When Wang Ying was looking at the contract just now, it seemed that he knew Gu Xuan's teacher. Zhao Yunsheng looked at it himself and he didn't know this person at all. How did Yingzi know him?
This question, along with many of Zhao Yunsheng's previous questions, was hidden deep in his heart.
A week after Wang Ying was released from the Public Security Bureau, everyone in the factory had almost forgotten that their Director Wang had been taken away by the police, when people from the Public Security Bureau came.
The people who came were Yang Xia and another public security comrade who had gone to Wang Ying's home to arrest her. They came to the non-staple food factory to give Wang Ying a letter of thanks.
Wang Ying was invited to the factory director's office. Yang Xia and others knew that they were there to restore her reputation, but she did not expect to receive a thank-you letter.
Yang Xia handed the letter to Wang Ying and said, "Comrade Wang Ying, thank you for your contribution to this case!"
Then she and other comrades saluted Wang Ying. Wang Ying felt a little embarrassed for a moment. He quickly bowed and said, "This is what I should do."
Director Qian was itching to know how great Wang Ying's contribution was to receive a thank-you letter from the Public Security Bureau!
Yang Xia and her friends didn't stay long and left after delivering the thank-you letter.
Wang Ying sent them out of the factory and wanted to inquire about the progress of the case.
After leaving the office building, Wang Ying asked quietly, "Sister Yang Xia, can you tell me who that person is?"
Yang Xia didn't specify the person's name, only saying, "He used to be in the art troupe, but later changed his job."
"No wonder he can play the piano and dance. Has he confessed his guilt? Who are Lu Yanfen's accomplices? Has he confessed?" Wang Ying asked again.
Yang Xia shook her head. "He only admitted his own guilt. He said he had no accomplices. It was Lu Yanfen who became suspicious of you, so he deliberately framed you. We also didn't find any evidence related to anyone else in his home."
Wang Ying exclaimed, "Will he lie? And he has a superior, right?"
"We also have suspicions, but we haven't found any evidence, so we are still continuing the investigation. I won't reveal more. Please pay attention to your safety recently. We will also send someone to protect you secretly." Yang Xia said.
"Okay, I understand. It would be best if the accomplice really comes to find me so that I can catch him." Wang Ying nodded and said.
"You're quite brave," Yang Xia said with a smile. "But if there really is such a person, he's hidden and won't show up easily, so there's no need to worry too much. We also have many comrades who believe that there really isn't another person."
Wang Ying nodded, and it was indeed the same as what Yang Xia said, "By the way, how is Lu Yanfen now? Have they met?"
"They met once, and Lu Yanfen became even crazier after seeing him," said Yang Xia.
Wang Ying sighed and didn't ask any more questions.
Wang Ying sent the two public security comrades to the factory gate. The two saluted Wang Ying before leaving together.
The old comrade in the communication room is called Wang Ying.
"Director Wang, are they looking for you? They're so polite to you and even salute you."
Wang Ying smiled and said, "Yes, I helped them with their work before, so I came to give me a thank you letter."
The old comrade gave Wang Ying a thumbs up. Director Wang is really amazing!
Wang Ying didn't hide this. Factory Director Qian didn't hide it either. He held a radio conference at the factory and personally read aloud the thank-you letter from the Public Security Bureau to Wang Ying. Now everyone in the factory knew that Wang Ying had helped the Public Security Bureau solve the case, had earned merit, and wasn't involved in a dangerous crime, having been arrested and released...
The incident of Wang Ying being arrested was completely over. Whenever people at the food factory mentioned Wang Ying, they would only say that she was capable and talented. Anyone else who wanted to see her make a fool of herself was out of luck!
Chen Xiuqin and Zhao Yunsheng both felt proud! The mother and son tacitly showed off in front of the previously sarcastic person!
It was another day off, and Wang Ying and Tian Yulan made an appointment to visit Xiang Huaimin. They each brought some gifts and went to Xiang Huaimin's residence.
Xiang Huaimin lived near the enamel factory, in a house he had been allocated there. Wang Ying and Tian Yulan inquired about Xiang Huaimin's address, sparking curiosity in the neighborhood.
"Who are you to him?" asked a nosy old lady.
Wang Ying smiled and said, "We are employees of the non-staple food factory. We came to see our old leader."
"He's alone and rarely goes out. He should be at home now."
"Thank you, auntie."
"Here, it's the innermost room."
Wang Ying and Tian Yulan knocked on the door, and it took a long time for it to open. Xiang Huaimin was surprised to see them.
"Why are you here?"
"Come to see the old leader! Are you not welcome?" Wang Ying said with a smile.
Xiang Huaimin said somewhat awkwardly, "Come in."
Tian Yulan was a little nervous and whispered to Wang Ying, "Director Xiang really doesn't seem to welcome us."
After they took a few steps, they understood why Xiang Huaimin felt embarrassed, as if he did not welcome them.
His house was strewn with books and manuscripts, leaving barely any room for him to step. Even if Xiang Huaimin had tried to clear the mess, it would have been too late. He finally managed to clear a bench for the two of them to sit on.
"Director, the place where you live fits my imagination of people like mathematicians and scientists." Wang Ying said after looking around.
Xiang Huaimin snorted, "It's a mess, don't give me excuses. No one comes here all year round, and I don't even have any extra cups. You can only sit here empty-handed."
"We don't drink tea on such a hot day." Wang Ying said with a smile, "I really think your house should be like this." Because in the TV and movies she had watched in her previous life, many scientists' rooms were messy.
"Why are you here?" Xiang Huaimin asked.
"Yulan came to see you to thank you," Wang Ying said. "She's been admitted to your school. Please take good care of her when the time comes."
"How many times did you get in math?" Xiang Huaimin asked.
"Full marks." Tian Yulan felt a little embarrassed.
"Well, that's not bad." Xiang Huaimin nodded.
"You taught me personally, of course!" said Wang Ying.
"I told you to study, but you refused to learn!" Xiang Huaimin rolled his eyes at Wang Ying and said to Tian Yulan, "Although you passed the exam, your foundation is still weak. You can't slack off after entering university."
"Yes!" Tian Yulan already looked like a good student.
"Uncle, when will you return to Shanghai? Will you wait until school starts?" Wang Ying asked.
Wang Ying called him "uncle", which startled Xiang Huaimin. Wang Ying always called him "Director".
"No, I have to go early. I have something else to do." Xiang Huaimin said, "I'll leave in two days."
"Then you can come to my house for dinner, or you can cook it here? I will cook for you." Wang Ying said.
Xiang Huaimin was silent for more than ten seconds before he said, "I'll go."
"Okay, then when are you free? How about today? I'm taking a break. Yulan, come along too. I'll see you off in advance."
"Okay." Xiang Huaimin agreed, and Tian Yulan also said yes.
The two stayed for another ten minutes. Wang Ying felt that Xiang Huaimin was very uncomfortable, so he said goodbye.
"Come early in the evening." Wang Ying reminded before leaving.
"I understand." Xiang Huaimin responded, feeling a warm feeling in his heart.
That evening, Wang Ying prepared a table full of dishes, all of which were Director Xiang's favorites. After eating this meal, Director Xiang felt that his trip was not in vain.
The next day, Director Xiang returned to Shanghai alone.
At the end of August, Tian Yulan resigned to study; Xu Lili became pregnant and showed signs of threatened miscarriage, so she took a long leave. Wang Ying suddenly lost two people to his staff. However, before they left, they each recommended someone to Wang Ying, two female comrades.
On the day Tian Yulan left the factory, she hugged Wang Ying and cried for a long time, repeatedly assuring herself that she would definitely come back.
At the end of September, the Beichong Non-staple Food Factory was officially split into the Panda Biscuit Factory and the Beichong Canned Food Factory, and the former Beichong Non-staple Food Direct Store was renamed the Beichong Non-staple Food Store.
Wang Ying was officially promoted to the director of the Panda Biscuit Factory, Qian Tongsheng was transferred to the Beichong Industrial and Commercial Bureau, Zheng Liancheng served as the director of the cannery, and Zhao Chengjun was in charge of the Beichong non-staple food store.
