Chapter 179 Contract "Master Zhao is an amazing writer." "How about...
Wang Ying passed by a grocery store and bought some food, including food for adults and children. Many of them were products from her factory, or new products created after Xu Lili returned home.
After leaving the grocery store, Wang Ying said to Zhou Qianjin, "When we get to Xu Lili's house, try not to say anything and follow my instructions."
"Okay," Zhou Qianjin agreed. "Director, Xu Lili's mother-in-law doesn't speak kindly to you. You should be careful."
"Let's go and see her. It's my fault that I've been too busy and haven't been able to take care of her."
"How can this be blamed on the factory director..." Zhou Qianjin muttered. Seeing Wang Ying riding away on his bike, he followed him without saying anything.
Arriving at Xu Lili's house, Wang Ying found it quiet. She knocked on the door, and after a while it finally opened. It was Xu Lili's mother-in-law who opened the door. Wang Ying had met her at Xu Lili's wedding, and she seemed quite friendly then. She had no idea what had happened in their family.
"Hello, Auntie. I'm Wang Ying, the director of the Panda Biscuit Factory. Do you still remember me?" Wang Ying greeted with a smile.
Seeing Wang Ying carrying gifts and being a woman, the other party didn't turn her away, but she wasn't happy either. She simply asked, "What can you do? Why don't you come over here once or twice?"
Wang Ying handed something to Xu Lili's mother-in-law and said, "Comrade Xu Lili has been on maternity leave for a while. We came to express our condolences to her and to ask when she will return to work. The factory is in great need of people right now."
"Are you really the director of the biscuit factory?" asked Xu Lili's mother-in-law, and finally accepted the gift that Wang Ying brought.
"How could this be false, aunt? I have been to your house before, but you don't remember it." Wang Ying said with a smile.
"Come in."
Wang Ying and Zhou Qianjin finally entered Xu Lili's house. Wang Ying thought that since they could get in, they should be able to communicate.
Xu Lili came out of the room and saw Wang Ying. They were both stunned for a moment. Xu Lili really seemed like a different person.
"Director, no, factory director, why are you here?" Xu Lili smoothed down her hair at the temples, trying to cover her fat face.
Wang Ying walked towards Xu Lili: "I came to see you! Why haven't you returned to the factory yet?"
Xu Lili looked at her mother-in-law, who snorted, "Why are you looking at me? It's not like I'm stopping you from going!"
"Mom, go and see the baby for a while. I want to talk to the factory manager and the others." Xu Lili said.
"The child is old enough. If he wants to see something, just tell him. There's nothing I can't listen to."
"mom……"
Xu Lili's mother-in-law finally went into the house, and Xu Lili invited Wang Ying and Zhou Qian to take a seat.
"What's going on?" Wang Ying asked in a low voice. She felt that Xu Lili's mother-in-law was not impossible to communicate with.
"It's my fault." Xu Lili lowered her head.
"What's wrong with you?" Wang Ying asked.
Xu Lili bit her lip, looked at Wang Ying and then at Zhou Qianjin. Zhou Qianjin understood. Did she not want him to know? He stood up and said, "I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. I'm going to find a public toilet to relieve myself."
"Turn left when you go out." said Xu Lili.
After Zhou Qianjin left, Xu Lili said, "I... I liked a man before I got married."
Wang Ying was a little surprised. At that time, they were together almost every day, but she didn’t realize who Xu Lili liked?
"Isn't it from our factory?" Wang Ying asked.
"Well, no," Xu Lili said, "I was just wishful thinking and had a one-sided crush on him for a while. I had a diary at the time and wrote some notes in it, and my husband saw it."
"What did you write?"
"I wrote that the person I love is like the moon in the sky, out of reach, so I can only accept my family's arrangement and marry an ordinary person..." Xu Lili said, "My husband thinks I despise him... But actually, I don't. I'm just an ordinary person myself."
Wang Ying sighed: "Have you explained it to him? There's nothing wrong with it."
"He didn't listen... I explained it many times. We had a good relationship before, but after this incident, he became suspicious. I was afraid that he would worry, so I simply didn't go to work and stayed at home every day, thinking that I would coax him into submission before going to work." Xu Lili said.
"You didn't do anything?" Wang Ying asked.
"No, he is not that kind of person," said Xu Lili.
Wang Ying breathed a sigh of relief. "Zhou Qianjin scared me so much, I thought something serious had happened to your family. It's not a big deal. You can't do this. You still have to go to work. Luo Wenshu wrote to me, saying he'll come back after graduation. Tian Yulan will also come back after graduating from university. If you don't return to work soon, you'll really be left behind by them."
"Actually, I don't want to go back because I feel I'm falling behind..." said Xu Lili.
"Instead of trying to catch up after falling behind, you're just lagging behind?" Wang Ying asked. "Do you need my help adjusting?"
"No, no, sorry to bother you." Xu Lili said a little embarrassedly, "I'll go back to work once I'm adjusted."
"We are planning to have a dinner together during the National Day. You should come with us and invite your spouse. I will also ask them to bring their spouses along so that it will be more lively." Wang Ying said.
Xu Lili thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll go."
"I'm seriously short of people around me, and I don't want to hire anyone casually. I taught you all by myself, and I'm waiting for you to come back and help me."
"Really? Do you still need me?" Xu Lili looked at Wang Ying, almost crying. She was actually worried about something, not just her husband. She didn't know what was wrong with her. She had become so sentimental after giving birth...
"Yes." Wang Ying said seriously.
"Then I will take care of the housework as soon as possible and go back to work early." Xu Lili's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Wang Ying said, "Is there anything else? Is there anything else about your mother-in-law?"
"It's okay, that's just his personality. The main problem lies with my husband... I will handle it and go back to work after that." Xu Lili said.
The two talked for a while, and then the child in the room started crying, and soon Xu Lili's mother-in-law came out with the child in her arms. Xu Lili went to hold the child, while Wang Ying talked to Xu Lili's mother-in-law.
"Auntie, Lily wants to go back to work in the factory. Do you support her?"
"Why don't I support her? She's the one who doesn't want to go."
After chatting for a while, Zhou Qianjin came back at the right time and Wang Ying also said goodbye.
Zhou Qianjin whispered, "Leaving now? Problem solved?"
"It's not a big deal," Wang Ying said. "Let's go. By the way, bring your spouse along when we have dinner together."
"Sure." Zhou Qianjin said with a smile, "It's more lively with more people, and we can get to know each other. It's rare to have fun together."
Zhou Qianjin didn't ask Xu Lili what happened specifically. After riding for a while, the two went home.
On the way back, Wang Ying was wondering what kind of person Xu Lili had loved in the past. She actually called him the moon in the sky. She didn't know what kind of person was worthy of such a word.
After going to bed at night, Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng talked about the National Day dinner and mentioned Xu Lili by the way.
Wang Ying sighed, "I don't know who Xu Lili likes. I can't tell at all."
Zhao Yunsheng chuckled: "Yingzi is smart in other aspects, but she is very confused when it comes to emotions."
"How could I be confused? My feelings for you are clear, clear, and obvious!" Wang Ying said, poking Zhao Yunsheng in the chest four times.
Zhao Yunsheng held Wang Ying's hand and said nothing to her. Although they had only met a few times, Zhao Yunsheng could tell that at that time, Xu Lili's favorite person was Gu Xuan. As for Gu Xuan, Zhao Yunsheng had a guess in his mind, but he wasn't sure...
"What are you daydreaming about?" Wang Ying saw Zhao Yunsheng holding his hand and suddenly froze, then pulled his hand away.
"Nothing." Zhao Yunsheng went to hug Wang Ying. He thought it was good that Wang Ying was slow to express herself. That way, she wouldn't know if someone else liked her. "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you something. I'm going to the provincial capital before the end of the month."
"What for?" Wang Ying asked.
"I attended a literary and artistic symposium held by the Writers Association to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of the literary giant," said Zhao Yunsheng.
"You should go," Wang Ying said. "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to keep asking for leave from work?"
"It's indeed not very good, but I am now quite famous, and the leaders don't want to lose me, hehe." Zhao Yunsheng said with a smile.
Wang Ying smiled and said, "Master Zhao is truly remarkable."
"Not as good as Director Wang."
-
In late September, Zhao Yunsheng went to the provincial capital to attend a symposium, and Wang Ying began to work on a big thing - contracting the Panda Biscuit Factory.
This was something Wang Ying had planned a long time ago. She wanted to keep up with the pace of the country. Now was the early stage of enterprise reform. Some factories in other places had begun to implement the contract responsibility system, but the factory in Beichong had not made any moves yet.
If there is no movement, start from their factory.
"Director, do we really want to be the first to take action?" Shao Pengyu had also heard that some factories in other places had begun to implement the contracting system, but in Beichong, they were truly pioneers.
"Someone has to take the lead," Wang Ying said. "You should have seen it in the news and newspapers. This is the general direction of development."
Zhou Qianjin felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest. The factory director was so bold! But he also felt that as long as he was the factory director, there was nothing he couldn't accomplish!
"Just do it!" Zhou Qianjin slammed the table. "If other factories outside the province can do it, we can do it too. We can even do it better!"
"Well said." Wang Ying applauded. "Each of you should write a report for me, and I will summarize it later."
Shao Pengyu said, "I see that several factories in other places have joined together to apply for it. Should we also unite with our sister units?"
"Then I'll leave this matter to you." Wang Ying said.
Shao Pengyu nodded: "Okay, leave it to me."
National Day is here in a blink of an eye. Wang Ying and her leadership team have been very busy these days. National Day is a good opportunity for them to take a break.
Wang Ying booked a private room in the largest state-owned restaurant in Beichong and went to dinner with Zhao Yunsheng.
After not seeing each other for more than half a month, Xu Lili seemed to have lost some weight. She came with her lover. Although the two of them still looked a little awkward, Wang Ying felt that they looked like a good couple and should be able to reconcile.
"Director, I want to go back to work after the National Day holiday." Xu Lili said to Wang Ying at the dinner table.
"Welcome back! You're back at a good time. We are doing big things." Zhou Qianjin said.
"Should we implement the contract responsibility system?" Xu Lili's lover said at this moment.
"Is your factory going to do this too?" Wang Ying asked.
"I heard from our leader that he was with you guys, and it was someone from your factory who found him."
Several people looked at Shao Pengyu.
"That's right. Which factory are you from? What did your leader say?" Shao Pengyu asked.
"That...I can't say for sure."
"Let's have a dinner! Let's have a dinner! Let's not talk about work! Let's see how the loved ones around you are doing." Zhao Yunsheng knocked the wine glass twice on the table.
Everyone burst into laughter and stopped talking about business...
