Chapter 45: Taking the Blame “You are not only a good comrade, but also a good husband. …
Wang Ying read through all the materials, classified and numbered them with a pencil, circled the important data, made an outline and began to write the summary materials.
The materials provided included: how many units and factories had distributed benefits over the years, their approximate number of employees, the average amount per person, the products distributed, the budget, and actual expenditures...
When writing a summary report with a lot of data, it's important to pay attention to total amounts, per capita benefits, comparisons, and trends. Wang Ying discovered that while the number of employees receiving benefits increased annually, the budget remained relatively flat. Furthermore, the budget was consistently overspent, reaching a substantial amount last year.
Tsk tsk, such a difficult task was actually given to five newcomers who had just joined the factory. Wang Ying felt that the non-staple food factory might have to recruit a few people to withstand the pressure and take the blame.
Wang Ying was writing the summary materials quickly, and the office was very quiet.
Around four o'clock, Zhou Qianjin said, "Should we hand in this report together, or should we each hand in our own?"
"Have you finished writing, Comrade Zhou?" Xu Lili asked.
"Well, it's almost done." Zhou Qianjin said.
Luo Wenshu said, "Just hand in your own work. I think this is a test from the factory. Director Zheng might even question us."
"Okay, then everyone can pay it themselves." Zhou Qianjin smiled.
Luo had already finished writing. He turned to look at Wang Ying and saw she was still writing. He thought for a moment and said, "Are you guys going to hand it in?"
"I haven't finished writing it yet!" said Xu Lili.
"I'm not feeling well either." Wu Haiyang followed.
Luo Wenshu pushed his glasses and said, "Then I'll go and hand it in first."
Wang Ying looked up at Luo Wenshu and thought to himself that he was really starting to become more proactive.
Luo Wenshu returned soon, and Zhou Qianjin asked him, "What did you say?"
"Director Zheng is busy. He asked me to leave before I even looked at the documents. I guess he wants to take them and look at them together. It should be okay for you to hand them in together later." Luo Wenshu.
At half past four, Zhou Qianjin went to hand in the materials alone without saying a word.
Xu Lili finished her paper, but she didn't want to hand it in alone, so she called Wang Ying, "Wang Ying, are you done? Let's hand it in together."
"It will be ready soon." said Wang Ying.
Wu Haiyang turned around and glanced at Wang Ying's manuscript paper. It was clearly divided into categories and even had pictures...
"Comrade Wang Ying, have you worked somewhere else?" Wu Haiyang asked.
"No, I just graduated from high school this year," said Wang Ying.
"Then you must be a genius." Wu Haiyang said.
"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on? Let me take a look." Luo Wenshu walked over.
"Don't mess around, let me finish," Wang Ying said. "Don't keep me from getting off work. What genius? Didn't everyone learn statistics in school?"
Luo Wenshu glanced at Wang Ying's manuscript; some discrepancies were obvious at a glance. He sighed and returned to his workstation.
Ten minutes later, Wang Ying finished writing. She checked it and found no problems. She called out to Luo Shuwen, "Comrade Luo, you wanted to see it, didn't you? Hurry up and read it. I'll give you five minutes."
Luo Wenshu hurried over to take Wang Ying's report and stood beside Wang Ying's desk to read it.
Wu Haiyang also stood up and watched with him.
"Comrade Wang Ying, please let me see it." Zhou Qianjin said.
Wang Ying raised his chin, meaning that you should watch it with them.
Zhou Qianjin also came over. He had been smiling, but after seeing Wang Ying's report, his smile froze. This was too good to be true. What was the name of the report he had just submitted?
"With Comrade Wang Ying's report, we should just throw it in the trash," Zhou Qianjin said.
"Colleague Zhou is too modest." Wang Ying smiled and observed the expressions of the three male colleagues again, trying to see who had peeked at his materials, but still saw nothing.
Luo Wenshu finished reading it himself, and without caring about the two of them, he returned the report to Wang Ying and said solemnly, "Comrade Wang Ying, from now on you will be my master. I will learn how to write reports from you."
"What nonsense are you talking about? We entered the factory together, how can I be your master? Besides, you should be older than me, Xu Lili, let's go and submit the report." Wang Ying said.
"Okay." Xu Lili said.
"I'll come too." Wu Haiyang said hurriedly.
The three of them went out together, and Xu Lili said, "Let me see it too."
Wang Ying handed her the report. Xu Lili took a look at it, but before she finished reading it, she returned it to Wang Ying and said, "Wang Ying, don't accept Luo Wenshu as your apprentice. Accept me instead. I'm one year younger than you, so I'm the perfect apprentice."
"I'll take that one too." Wu Haiyang said in a muffled voice from behind.
"No, we don't accept gay men." Xu Lili turned her head and said.
"There is no distinction between men and women among homosexuals," said Wu Haiyang.
"Okay, stop joking around," Wang Ying said with a smile. "It's not like I'll have to write reports every day."
As they were talking, a few people walked to the door of Deputy Director Zheng's office, knocked on the door and went in.
"You are here." Captain Zheng said with a smile.
"Well, let's hand in the report." Wang Ying said as he handed over the report, and the other two also handed it over.
"Okay, give it to me. Let me take a look." Zheng Liancheng took their reports, but only read Wang Ying's. He kept the other two in his hands.
Zheng Liancheng didn't ask them to leave, so the three of them stood there waiting for him to speak.
Zheng Liancheng quickly glanced over Wang Ying's report and praised her, "Comrade Wang Ying, your report is written like a veteran who has been working for ten years. It's very well done." He glanced at his watch and said, "It's almost time to get off work. You should go back first and we'll talk about it tomorrow when we get to work."
"Okay, goodbye, Director Zheng." The three people said goodbye and left the office.
When they returned to the office, it was almost time to get off work.
"What did Director Zheng say?" Zhou Qianjin asked.
"He only read Comrade Wang Ying's report and praised Comrade Wang Ying. He said he would talk about other things tomorrow," said Wu Haiyang.
"Then let's go home from get off work." There was already noise in the building.
Wang Ying returned to his desk to pack up his things. Luo Wenshu came over again and said, "Comrade Wang Ying, please let me learn how to write a report from you!"
"You don't have to write a report every day. You saw how I wrote it today. You will get it after reading it a few times." Wang Ying said as he organized the report.
"I was wrong to say that you were an individualist. I apologize!" Luo Wenshu bowed to Wang Ying again.
Here it comes again... Wang Ying thought to himself, I apologize to her here, but I don’t know what she will say to her next.
"Comrade Luo, don't make things difficult for Comrade Wang Ying! We are a collective and we are equal. Don't treat us specially." Zhou Qianjin stepped forward and said.
"Xu Lili, let's go." Wang Ying put on her bag and left with Xu Lili.
Wang Ying and Xu Lili were talking when they arrived at the factory gate. They saw someone coming again, and there was a female comrade standing next to him.
Xu Lili nudged Wang Ying with her arm: "Who is that lesbian standing next to your husband?"
"I don't know him." Wang Ying said.
"Ah?" Xu Lili was surprised.
Zhao Yunsheng saw Wang Ying, waved to her, and said something to the female comrade next to him. The two of them came over together.
"I'm here to pick you up from get off work." Zhao Yunsheng said, and then greeted Xu Lili, "Hello, Comrade Xu."
"You get off work so early every day." Wang Ying said.
"Hello, you must be Comrade Wang Ying. I would like to ask you for a favor!" said the female comrade next to Zhao Yunsheng.
Wang Ying looked at her and then at Zhao Yunsheng.
Zhao Yunsheng said with a bit of embarrassment and a bit of pride: "I'm waiting here for you to get off work. This female comrade passing by asked me what pattern this sweater had and how it was knitted. I didn't know, so I asked her to wait for you..."
So it was because of this. Wang Ying thought she was a distant relative.
Xu Lili also looked at Zhao Yunsheng at this moment: "Hey, Wang Ying, this sweater was knitted by you. The pattern is really beautiful."
"Right, I think it's beautiful too. I want to knit one for my partner, so I took the liberty to ask this comrade." The female comrade said to Wang Ying, "I don't want your pattern for nothing. I can exchange it with you for something."
Wang Ying thought about it and said, "Then wait for me here tomorrow after get off work."
"Oh, thank you, Comrade Wang Ying!" The female comrade said quickly with a smile, "Then I'll be leaving first. See you tomorrow. I'll definitely come tomorrow."
She seemed to be in a hurry and left in a hurry without saying what she wanted to exchange with Wang Ying.
Xu Lili said, "I want one too!"
Wang Ying laughed: "What's wrong with you? You want what others want."
"Yes! Hehe, I don't want it for nothing." Xu Lili said with a smile, her pair of bright black eyes smiling.
"It's okay if you ask for it. Don't we have an indestructible revolutionary friendship?" Wang Ying said with a smile.
"Then you can't ask for it for nothing, haha!" Xu Lili smiled and waved at the two of them, "I'm leaving first, you guys go home too, see you tomorrow."
Zhao Yunsheng looked at Wang Ying with a smile. Wang Ying pushed him and said, "What are you laughing at? Go away. You're like a peacock."
Zhao Yunsheng got on his bike and the two of them went home.
"Why do you get off work so early these two days?" Wang Ying asked her.
"I've been doing literacy work these two days and haven't been in the office. I'll be back as soon as I'm done and will pick you up on the way," said Zhao Yunsheng.
"It's not far, and I can walk pretty fast by myself," said Wang Ying.
"Don't say such unromantic things." Zhao Yunsheng said with a smile.
Wang Ying ignored him. She really didn't understand romance. She still felt that Zhao Yunsheng should go home early and cook dinner... But she only thought about it in her heart and didn't say it out loud, so as not to make someone sad.
After returning home, Wang Yingcai discovered that he was indeed unromantic. Someone had actually returned home and put the porridge for dinner into the pot.
Wang Ying was holding the lid of the steel pot, in which the porridge was bubbling.
Wang Ying then remembered that Zhao Yunsheng hadn't been wearing this sweater that morning, and he had even changed his clothes to pick her up... It must be that there were no flowers for sale right now, otherwise Zhao Yunsheng would have been waiting for her with flowers. Wang Ying imagined this scene, and for some reason, she felt a little excited.
"Hehe." Zhao Yunsheng smiled at Wang Ying a little proudly and a little foolishly.
Wang Ying also laughed: "When did you get off work? Don't sneak out. If your boss finds out, he'll deduct your salary."
"No, I'm a good comrade," said Zhao Yunsheng.
"Well, you are a good comrade. Not only are you a good comrade, you are also a good husband." Wang Ying stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the face.
