Chapter 67: Adding fuel to the fire "I guess she wants to mess with me about my work style. ...
Wang Ying's words immediately made the office boil.
"What new product?"
"Do you have a recipe already?"
“When will production begin?”
"Is it tasty!"
“…”
The team members talked at once and no longer worried about Song Yin.
Wang Ying walked to his workstation and wrote the name of the new product on the small blackboard.
"What is this? I've never heard of it," Zhou Qianjin said. "It has a weird name. Can it be delicious?"
"It's surprising you haven't heard of it. It's a snack from the north, so don't worry about the taste. It's not high in sugar or fat, so it's delicious," Wang Ying said. "I'm going to start testing the recipe today."
Xu Lili said with a hint of regret, "We've all been out and about lately. We didn't participate in the improvement of the Yunpian Cake. So, we can't participate in this new product either. Team leader, can you please wait for us?"
Luo Wenshu glared at Xu Lili and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Which is more important, the production task or you? Have you come to your senses?"
Xu Lili's face turned red after hearing what he said, and she didn't dare to say a word.
Wang Ying smiled and said, "This is just the beginning. The recipe can't be tested in a day or two. This isn't like the cloud cake. We just added some ingredients to the original recipe, and we have experienced people helping us. We have to start from scratch. Once you have the statistics, you will have time to get busy."
Wu Haiyang then said, "Team Leader, isn't this the recipe we found in the archives? Where did it come from? It's so strange."
Wang Ying said, "The recipe is written in the book. Okay, I've told you the good news. Now all we have to do is collect the data."
"I'm going out now!" Xu Lili said as she picked up her bag and walked out of the office with a proud and confident look. She is a very conscious young person!
"We're leaving too," Zhou Qianjin and Luo Wenshu said.
After the three of them left, only Wang Ying and Wu Haiyang were left in the office. Wu Haiyang had always had a crush on Wang Ying, but when he thought about what happened between Wang Ying's husband and Song Yin, he felt sorry for Wang Ying.
Wang Yingke didn't know what Wu Haiyang was thinking. She wrote a simple weekly plan and said, "I'll go to Director Zhao's office to hand in my schedule and pick up the materials list."
"Let me go with you." Wu Haiyang said.
"That's fine. We'll go directly to the warehouse and then to the workshop." Wang Ying said.
Wu Haiyang followed Wang Ying and occasionally glanced at her. He felt that she had endless enthusiasm for work, and she didn't seem to care about her husband's affairs at all. Did she trust her husband very much, or did she not care about her husband... Seeing that Wang Ying didn't care, Wu Haiyang cared even more.
Arriving at Director Zhao's office, Wang Ying handed in her work plan. Director Zhao had already given her the materials list for her signature. After receiving the materials list, Wang Ying headed straight for the warehouse.
The lame warehouse manager in charge of this welfare mission saw Wang Ying and the others and took the initiative to greet them, saying, "You are here again. What do you want this time?"
Wang Ying gave him the order sheet. The warehouse manager looked at it and said, "This isn't for making cakes. What are you doing?"
"New product." said Wang Ying.
"There are new products. The cakes have been improved very well, so the new products should be good too." The lame warehouse manager said as he took them to get the materials.
Wang Ying saw that the warehouse manager was much more friendly towards them, so he smiled and said, "Of course."
After receiving the materials, Wang Ying and his team went directly to the fourth workshop.
Fang Hongjun was also in the workshop at the time. Upon seeing Wang Ying, his expression became complicated. This woman had actually come up with a new recipe. As luck would have it, Director Qian had actually tried this thing and loved it. He even said that this used to be enjoyed by the aristocracy, but now that the aristocrats had finally been defeated, he should ramp up production so that the common people could enjoy it. He even said that if sales were good, he would create a separate workshop for production.
By then, wouldn't Wang Ying be the workshop director, on par with me? That wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was that Wang Ying was so capable that the higher-ups and the factory leaders would definitely favor her...
"Director Fang, we are here. We will start testing new products today. Please continue to let Comrade Tian Yulan and Comrade Yang Jianshe help us." Wang Ying automatically ignored Fang Hongjun's expression and spoke in a businesslike manner.
At this time, many people in the fourth workshop wanted to follow Wang Ying, but with Director Fang present, they didn't dare to speak out. They just glanced at Wang Ying, hoping that Wang Ying would choose them. Tian Yulan and Yang Jianshe were very happy. Although they had to do the same job, they preferred to follow Team Leader Wang.
Fang Hongjun said: "It's definitely not enough for the new product with just a few of you. I'll give you two more people, Lu Tong and Chang Sheng..."
"No need." Wang Ying interrupted Fang Hongjun.
"We are not just these few people. We have three more colleagues who will be on duty soon. We cannot let the development of our new products delay the original production progress of Workshop 4." Wang Yingxin said. She was not a fool. Tian Yulan and Yang Jianshe were the people Fang Hongjun didn't want, but she gladly took them over. Now the two people Fang Hongjun mentioned must be his confidants. How could she dare to accept them?
Seeing that Wang Ying was ruthless, Fang Hongjun felt a little embarrassed.
"The most important thing now is the welfare task at the end of the year. You haven't submitted your final plan yet. I'm worried that you won't be able to make it in time and will miss out on important things." Fang Hongjun's voice became a little louder, but his tone was like an elder scolding a younger generation.
"Don't worry, Director Fang. If it's really too late, I will ask you for help." Wang Ying refused.
Seeing that Wang Ying was unmoved by any persuasion, and that this person was currently a favorite of the factory director, Fang Hongjun had to accept it reluctantly, saying, "It's up to you" and left.
Wang Ying ignored him and went straight to the preparation area.
Tian Yulan and Yang Jianshe were both happy but also a little worried. Yang Jianshe said, "Team Leader, we have no experience with this new product. I'm a bit clumsy. Will it delay the development of your new product?"
Tian Yulan also whispered, "Team Leader, I want to follow you, but I don't want to delay your work. If we really can't do it, don't worry about it, just replace us directly."
Wang Ying looked at the two men and thought to himself, look, what good comrades they are, so conscious. With such team members, there is no need to worry about not being able to accomplish great things in the future.
"Don't be too self-deprecating. I was going to give it a try anyway. You see, this recipe involves a sugar-frying process, which I think is very suitable for Comrade Yang to do," said Wang Ying.
Yang Jianshe laughed innocently: "It seems to be true..."
"Right, everyone will find something that suits them," said Wang Ying.
"Okay, we will all listen to you." Tian Yulan said solemnly.
"Then let's get started."
Wang Ying said a lot of nice things, but when it came to making it, the first batch ended in failure. It can be said that every step was not done well, and the finished product was not well-formed, had a hard texture, and tasted bitter...
Yang Jianshe and Tian Yulan were a little discouraged, but Wang Ying thought it was normal. If it could be done in one go, everyone would do it, and every family would do it.
"Let's go eat first and continue in the afternoon!" Wang Ying was not discouraged at all.
Wu Haiyang watched Wang Ying from the side, deeply impressed. Wang Ying was obviously younger than him, so how could she be so calm?
After lunch, I started to make another pot, but none of them was successful throughout the afternoon.
Fang Hongjun had come to see Wang Ying and his team twice, and seeing that they kept failing, he could barely hide his mocking smile. The people in Workshop 4 also felt fortunate that they hadn't been so impulsive as to join Wang Ying's group... Now that was good.
Before leaving get off work, Fang Hongjun came again with a serious face: "Comrade Wang Ying, you guys are wasting too much food today. You know, every grain of food is hard-earned, and there are still many people who don't have enough to eat!"
Wang Ying looked at Fang Hongjun and said, "Director Fang, this is an unavoidable loss during the research and development process. How can it be called a waste? Besides, these things are just not that successful or delicious, but they are not inedible, so they can't be considered a waste."
"It's no use arguing with me. It's almost December. If you don't hurry up, I can't guarantee the subsequent production." Fang Hongjun said.
"Please stop putting pressure on me and my teammates. We are already doing our best and making progress."
Tian Yulan and Yang Jianshe were already blaming themselves, but after hearing Fang Hongjun's words, they bowed their heads. Wang Ying didn't want Fang Hongjun to influence them any further.
"Give me a deadline," said Fang Hongjun.
"It will be ready within this week. I've already given the schedule to Director Zhao," Wang Ying said. "I know Director Fang is anxious, but this is a process from scratch after all. It's not something that can be achieved overnight."
When Fang Hongjun saw Wang Ying bringing up Director Zhao, he left without a word. Ever since Wang Ying joined the factory, nothing seemed to go his way, and he had to think of a solution.
"Let's go back to the office and have a meeting." Wang Ying said to the three team members who had lost confidence.
Back in the office, Wang Ying said, "Each of you should talk about and summarize the reasons for today's failure. Have you thought of a solution? If not, what was the biggest difficulty? I'll give you ten minutes to prepare. If you can't think of anything right away, you can write down what you have in mind."
Wang Ying gave paper and pen to Tian Yulan and Yang Jianshe.
The three team members, who were originally at a loss and only worried about not completing the mission, naturally focused their attention on specific problems rather than abstract anxieties when they heard Wang Ying say this.
Wang Ying had already figured out the problems after a day's work and had already discussed them with them during production. She was specifically asking them to discuss them again, so they could develop their own ideas, rather than just waiting for her to make adjustments.
Yang Jianshe was the first to speak. He said, "My main problem was that I was a little timid when boiling the syrup... Because I boiled the first pot too hard, I was always worried that I would overcook the sugar. As a result, I didn't dare to use high heat or boil the syrup long enough. As a result, the syrup didn't boil properly and even turned into sand."
"Very good," Wang Ying said, "then you probably know what to do."
Yang Jianshe nodded: "If you hesitate and act timidly, you will fail in the end. It's better to speculate boldly and confidently!"
"You're right. We can definitely make the syrup tomorrow," said Wang Ying.
Wu Haiyang was mainly responsible for the stirring work. He said at this time: "When mixing the sugar and the dough, the speed should be fast and the force should be even..."
All three of them shared their problems from the day, and strangely enough, they all felt less worried after sharing their problems. This was probably because Team Leader Wang didn't scold them for their mistakes, but instead guided them as he did now.
"Do you all have specific solutions?" Wang Ying asked finally.
It was Yang Jianshe who first raised his hand and said, "I got it! I will start timing accurately tomorrow. Regardless of success or failure, I will accurately record the size of the fire, the frying technique, and the specific time!" After Yang Jianshe finished speaking, his voice trembled a little. He felt as if he had grown a little taller, his mind was much clearer, and he felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
Wang Ying nodded and praised, "Very good, your method is correct. But that's not enough. You also need to record the amount used, because different amounts will definitely require different times."
"Yes!" Yang Jianshe answered loudly.
With Wang Ying, the three of them quickly recovered, regained their confidence, and talked about what they would do tomorrow. Wang Ying was very satisfied with them.
"Okay, today's meeting is over. Let's go home," Wang Ying said. "I'm sorry to have kept you here to work overtime."
"No, no, Team Leader, you can't think that way," Tian Yulan said. "You are helping us. We can't thank you enough. We are not ungrateful."
Yang Jianshe and Wu Haiyang also nodded.
Wang Ying smiled and said, "Let's go home and have a good rest. We'll try again tomorrow. I'm sure we'll succeed."
Several people left the factory together and walked to the factory gate. Wang Ying saw Zhao Yunsheng coming to pick her up again.
When Wu Haiyang saw Zhao Yunsheng, he felt sour and complained in his heart: He is diligent in coming to pick her up, but I don’t know whether his feelings for Wang Ying are true or false. He is married but still can’t get along with his female colleagues at work. It’s probably his own fault.
Wang Ying said goodbye to Wu Haiyang and the others and walked towards Zhao Yunsheng. Zhao Yunsheng took off his own scarf and wrapped it around Wang Ying's neck, wrapping it around her.
"If you want to ride a bike, just follow us," said Wang Ying.
"I'm not cold, come up." Zhao Yunsheng said.
When the couple arrived home, Chen Xiuqin had already cooked dinner.
"Mom, why didn't you wait for us to come back? Your feet haven't fully recovered yet." Wang Ying said.
"It's no big deal. Cooking dinner is no big deal," Chen Xiuqin said. "I'll be back to work in two days."
"Don't you want to rest a little longer? It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone." Wang Ying said.
"I only have a muscle injury, no bone damage, it's nothing serious. I can't be away from work for too long. If I do, I'll be out of touch with them and might become isolated. I think I'll go back to work the day after tomorrow."
"You can't ride a bike, so I'll pick you up on my bike," said Wang Ying.
Chen Xiuqin originally wanted to ask Zhao Yunsheng to pick her up, but that might lead to Zhao Yunsheng running into Yanfen, so she said, "Let your dad take me down in the morning, but you can pick me up in the evening. Your dad often works overtime at night."
"I'll take care of dinner," said Zhao Yunsheng.
"Okay, then it's settled." Wang Ying said.
During dinner, Director Zhao asked Wang Ying about the new product trial.
"Fang Hongjun said at the evening meeting that you were wasting materials. Did you encounter any difficulties with the experiment today?"
"There are some difficulties, but they are not big problems and can be solved. He made a fuss out of nothing on purpose. He came to me before leaving get off work and I told him to finish it within this week," said Wang Ying.
"You have to be careful with him. There are some things you don't know yet. When we had a meeting this morning, Lao Qian said that he had eaten shaqima and it was very delicious. He also said that if the people like it, we will produce more and open another workshop." Director Zhao said.
Zhao Yunsheng was about to pick up some food, but after hearing what Director Zhao said, he put his chopsticks away and said, "What's wrong with Director Qian? Why is he bringing up this matter so early? Besides, this product was tested in Workshop 4, and then it's independently produced, not by the fourth car. How would the workshop director be happy with that? Director Qian, is he trying to fan the flames and get Yingzi and Director Fang to fight?"
Wang Ying felt that it was perfectly normal for a leader to fan the flames of his subordinates. Director Qian must have done this on purpose. She had requested that batch of dried fruit, perhaps to take advantage of Director Qian's advantage.
Director Zhao said, "It seems your brain hasn't been corrupted by romance novels."
Zhao Yunsheng was speechless. Why did his father always have to come back to this no matter what he said? Besides, he didn't read only romance novels!
Wang Ying smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm on guard against him in the workshop."
"Well, it's always better to be careful," said Director Zhao.
"I've always been careful. I have made secret marks on the raw materials I handle, and even the people in our team don't know." Wang Yingke has never forgotten that Director Zhao might have been forced to step down in his previous life, so she would not fully trust anyone in this non-staple food factory except Director Zhao.
"Well, you are steady in your work." Director Zhao praised Wang Ying.
The family continued to eat dinner without talking about work.
When I went upstairs in the evening, Wang Ying had washed up and gone to bed first, while Zhao Yunsheng was still writing something at the desk. The couple chatted casually.
Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng talked about Song Yin.
"Everyone in our team knows the relationship between Song Yin and you." Wang Ying said.
"Hey? Comrade Wang Ying, please be careful with your words. I have nothing to do with her!" Zhao Yunsheng quickly turned around and said to Wang Ying.
Wang Ying smiled and said, "Colleagues are also relationships. Why are you so nervous?"
"What an unexpected disaster!" Zhao Yunsheng sighed, "What did she do to your team members?"
"Nothing has been done. She is probably still in the indirect attack stage. Last time you said they didn't touch the data. I guess she wants to target me for my work style." Wang Ying said.
"Why?" Zhao Yunsheng asked.
"If I have problems with my work style, I will definitely lose my job, and you will definitely become alienated from me. Now is the perfect time for her to take advantage of the situation, isn't it?" Wang Ying said.
Wang Ying's words made Zhao Yunsheng serious. He said, "No, I can't let her have the chance to harm you. Don't worry about it. I'll handle it. This matter was originally caused by me, so I should handle it. You shouldn't deal with such despicable things."
"Don't do anything rash, she hasn't done anything yet." Wang Ying said.
"I won't do anything reckless," Zhao Yunsheng said. "I won't do anything criminal. I can't wait any longer. I can't give her a chance."
"Well, I was thinking about using the same trick to lure her out," said Wang Ying.
"Just focus on your work. That's what you should worry about," said Zhao Yunsheng.
Wang Ying looked at Zhao Yunsheng and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you."
"Well, you should rest early. I will continue writing the novel for a while." Zhao Yunsheng said.
"Come on, great writer," said Wang Ying.
When Zhao Yunsheng heard Wang Ying call him a great writer, the corners of his mouth curled up. Sooner or later, he would make these three words truly worthy of his reputation.
