Chapter 71: The comparison makes both the body and the heart warm.
Zhao Yunsheng put away his manuscripts and folded them in the upper right corner of the desk, next to a stack of Wang Ying's work materials.
Looking at the two stacks of paper, Zhao Yunsheng chuckled twice.
Wang Ying stood beside the desk and asked, "Why are you laughing so suddenly?"
Zhao Yunsheng pointed at the two stacks of paper and said, "Laugh at this."
Wang Ying didn't understand and looked at Zhao Yunsheng in confusion.
Zhao Yunsheng said, "These two stacks of paper, one represents the future you pursue, the other represents the future I dream of. One represents reason, the other represents emotion. They're laid side by side now. Don't you find this contrast fascinating?"
Wang Ying blinked. She wondered how Zhao Yunsheng could come up with such an explanation after looking at the two stacks of papers. She could not think of such a thing at all, even if she lived two lifetimes.
"Not everyone has your observation and imagination..." Wang Ying said quietly.
Zhao Yunsheng laughed out loud and touched Wang Ying's face. "You've got our little Yingzi completely confused. It's just my imagination. You sit down and work. I'll go downstairs and take a look."
Zhao Yunsheng went downstairs while chewing an apple and humming a little tune.
Wang Ying sat at the desk. She looked at the two stacks of paper, touched Zhao Yunsheng's stack of manuscript paper with a smile, and then started working.
After Zhao Yunsheng went downstairs, he didn't come back up for a long time. Downstairs was very quiet, with only the occasional sound of children playing in the alley. Wang Ying quickly immersed himself in his work.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Yunsheng returned to his room with the dried clothes. Wang Ying was busy writing the plan and didn't pay any attention to Zhao Yunsheng.
Zhao Yunsheng didn't say anything either. He sat by the bed and folded clothes. When he finished folding the clothes and put them in the chest of drawers and opened the drawer, Wang Ying was startled by the sudden movement.
Wang Ying, still terrified, turned around and saw that it was Zhao Yunsheng. He asked, "I was so scared! When did you come back? Why didn't you make any sound?"
"Huh? I came back a long time ago and folded the clothes. I thought you knew I was back." Zhao Yunsheng said.
"Then I didn't notice..." Wang Ying looked towards the window, "It's getting late, aren't my parents home yet?"
"He hasn't come back since he went to the hospital. He might have gone to his eldest sister's house." Zhao Yunsheng put another pile of clothes in the drawer and asked Wang Ying, "You want to take a bath tonight? Should we go to the big bathhouse or take a bath at home?"
"Just take a shower at home." After what happened in his previous life, Wang Ying was no longer used to going to a large bathhouse.
"It might be cold," Zhao Yunsheng said. "Don't get cold."
"It doesn't matter. I'll go to the big bathhouse when it gets colder. It's okay now." Wang Ying said.
"Then wash in the small room downstairs. The room is small, the heat dissipation is slower, and it is also convenient to add water in time."
"good."
Zhao Yunsheng packed his clothes and went downstairs again. Wang Ying finished her work. After finishing, she stood up, stretched, and went downstairs.
Wang Ying looked around and found Zhao Yunsheng in a small room behind the kitchen.
"What are you doing?" Wang Ying asked.
"I was thinking about how to make your bath warmer," said Zhao Yunsheng.
Wang Ying said, "Forget it, don't bother. I'll just go to the big bathhouse."
"Oh, don't you want to go? I'm still thinking of a way. Please give me another chance." Zhao Yunsheng said with a smile.
Wang Ying saw that Zhao Yunsheng didn't take this matter as a trouble at all. On the contrary, he himself couldn't stand others doing too much for him, as it would offend their kindness.
"We use something to block it," Wang Ying said. She remembered that in her previous life, around the 1980s, they started using bath tents, tent-shaped devices made of very thin plastic film. They would hang from the top, put a bathtub inside, pour in hot water, and the heat would expand the bath tent, making it completely warm when sitting inside. However, be careful not to touch the bath tent, as it would be condensed with steam and cold.
"I was just wondering what to use to block it." Zhao Yunsheng thought about it and suddenly said, "I got it! A raincoat! I should have a few raincoats at home. I can wrap them around myself and it should be just right."
Wang Ying smiled and said, "It seems possible."
Zhao Yunsheng did what he said. He took out all the raincoats in the house, found a rope, and strung the raincoats from one sleeve to the other, forming a circle with several raincoats.
The two of them worked together and actually created a relatively enclosed space for them.
Looking at his work, Zhao Yunsheng said with satisfaction, "That's good. I'm definitely not cold anymore."
Wang Ying also felt not cold. Her heart was very warm at the moment. No one had ever cared about her well-being and respected her wishes like Zhao Yunsheng did.
"Well, it's definitely not cold." Wang Ying said.
Director Zhao and Chen Xiuqin came back. Chen Xiuqin didn't see her son and daughter-in-law in the main room, so she went to the kitchen.
Chen Xiuqin walked into the kitchen and heard two people talking in the small room. When she walked in, she saw her son's "masterpiece".
"What is this for?" Chen Xiuqin asked.
"Take a shower. It's cold now," Zhao Yunsheng said. "How's it going, Mom? Not bad, isn't it?"
Chen Xiuqin was about to say that she was cold and went to the big bathhouse, but then she thought that it must be because her daughter-in-law didn't want to go to the big bathhouse, so he arranged it, so she said: "That's great, it's more convenient and clean to take a bath at home, I'll use it today too."
Wang Ying felt a little embarrassed and changed the subject, "Did Mom go to my eldest sister's house today?"
"Well, didn't you go to the hospital for a follow-up check this morning? I saw that your elder sister didn't look well, so I went to her house." Chen Xiuqin said.
"What's wrong, elder sister?" Wang Ying asked.
Chen Xiuqin said, "She had a disagreement with her sister-in-law, and your eldest brother-in-law scolded her."
Wang Ying said, "She's Dongbao's aunt, right?"
"It's her." Chen Xiuqin said.
"Didn't my eldest sister say she was a very kind person earlier?" Zhao Yunsheng said, "Children are good at judging people. Dongbao doesn't dislike her aunt for no reason."
"Then what's the unpleasant thing?" Wang Ying asked.
"It really has something to do with Dongbao. Dongbao has always disliked her aunt. The day before yesterday, Dongbao suddenly said that her aunt hugged her father..." Chen Xiuqin said.
Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng were both stunned for a moment. Zhao Yunsheng said angrily, "What do you mean? My brother-in-law is having an affair with my sister-in-law?"
"Your brother-in-law said that Dongbao's aunt made a mistake and thought your brother-in-law was her husband." Chen Xiuqin said.
"How is that possible?" Zhao Yunsheng asked, "You don't even recognize your own husband?"
"Your eldest sister didn't believe it either, so your eldest brother-in-law cried out for injustice and wouldn't let your eldest sister speak, saying that it would affect the relationship between the brother and his wife." Chen Xiuqin said with a sigh.
"So you've been there, what do you say now?" Wang Ying asked.
"Your eldest sister said, let's take a look. There is no evidence now. Your eldest brother-in-law looks more wronged than Dou E..." said Chen Xiuqin.
"Dongbao didn't start to dislike her aunt all of a sudden. Maybe she did before," said Zhao Yunsheng.
"The problem is that your eldest sister asked Dongbao, and Dongbao said he only saw it once."
"Well...it's hard to say." Zhao Yunsheng said.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it. They still have to live their own lives. Let's see what your eldest sister thinks about it later. It's time to cook dinner." Chen Xiuqin said.
"We'll burn it right away," said Wang Ying.
"Have you finished your work, Yingzi? Just let Yunsheng cook dinner."
"It's done." said Wang Ying.
"Then you two can do it. I'm going to take a break. By the way, I'll ride my bike to work by myself next week." Chen Xiuqin said and left the kitchen.
While Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng were cooking, they talked about their eldest sister's family. They both felt that their eldest brother-in-law was not trustworthy.
"If he really is that kind of person, I will definitely ask my elder sister to divorce him!" Zhao Yunsheng was filled with righteous indignation.
"Well, I persuaded her to divorce!" Wang Ying said, "Even if she doesn't want to, I still have to persuade her to divorce." In her previous life, she had seen many women who refused to divorce for the sake of their children and their parents' face, even when they were cheated on or suffered domestic violence.
"No, my eldest sister is not the kind of person who can tolerate grievances." Zhao Yunsheng said.
Wang Ying thought about his past life again. Why did so many people want to eat the grass in their own backyard? They were unworthy of being human.
Because of Zhao Yunfei's incident, the atmosphere during dinner was not very good.
After dinner and cleaning up the kitchen, Wang Ying prepared to take a bath. She went upstairs to get her clothes, and when she came down, Zhao Yunsheng had already prepared the bath water for her.
"Come in and take a shower. I'm in the kitchen. If the water gets cold, call me to add more." Zhao Yunsheng said.
Wang Ying entered the bathroom, which was built with raincoats. It was filled with steam and not cold at all. Wang Ying sat in the tub, feeling warm both physically and mentally.
The next day, Wang Ying went to work with the materials and plans she had compiled. Since Chen Xiuqin was working alone, Wang Ying didn't ride her bike and continued walking. When she arrived, the team members were already there.
"Good morning, Team Leader."
"Good morning."
After greeting each other, Wang Ying pulled a stack of papers from his bag and waved them in his hand, saying, "This is the final budget and plan I wrote for the year-end benefits program. Please pass it around and see if there are any changes you need. I'll give it to the factory director for approval from the leadership."
Zhou Qianjin rushed to Wang Ying and grabbed it first.
Wu Haiyang said: "You are too fast!"
Wu Haiyang thought he was closer and could see it first.
"Hehe!" Zhou Qianjin smiled triumphantly. "Be quick or late!"
"Hmph, you're also slow. After you've finished reading it, you still have to give it to us!" Luo Wenshu said.
Zhou Qianjin began to read Wang Ying's report. The more he read, the more he realized he had so much to learn. He felt a huge gap between himself and his team leader. He wondered how long it would take him to master the writing and report-making skills. He felt ashamed when he thought about competing with Wang Ying and even briefly considered bringing her down.
Zhou Qianjin read it carefully and did not pass it to others for a long time. Luo Wenshu could not sit still and poked him in the back with a pen.
"Hurry up, can you please have some collective awareness? Give us what you have read first!" Luo Wenshu said.
"Yes, yes." Zhou Qianjin gave Luo Wenshu what he had read.
Luo Wenshu looked at it and passed it to Xu Lili, and so on. The team members just looked at Wang Ying's plan without saying a word.
Half an hour later, all the papers were back in Wang Ying's hands. Wang Ying asked, "How is it? Are there any mistakes or omissions?"
Several people shook their heads and said, "No..."
"Team Leader, you've done so much!" Xu Lili said. "That packaging is so pretty! Did you draw that, too?"
Luo Wenshu said, "You can tell I didn't look carefully. The team leader even marked the designer in the corner: Qiu Zhenhua from the Cultural Center."
Xu Lili really didn't notice.
Zhou Qianjin said, "Yes, I saw that too. The packaging is really good, giving people a refreshing feeling. With new packaging and new products, we will definitely complete this mission smoothly."
"If you don't have anything to add, I'll give this to the factory director?" Wang Ying said.
"Team leader, you have written so well, what can we check? We can only write it for you to check later..." Wu Haiyang said. Now he looked at Wang Ying and felt that his admiration was burning, and the little flame of love was gradually extinguished.
"Okay, I'll hand it in now." Wang Ying said as he stood up.
Wang Ying passed by the quality inspection team next door. The team leader happened to be coming back from the tea room. After seeing Wang Ying, he greeted her.
"Good morning, Team Leader Wang."
"Good morning."
Wang Ying replied and walked past him. The quality inspection team leader looked at Wang Ying's back and clicked his tongue twice. What an incredible girl! There will probably be more excitement to see in this factory in the future.
Wang Ying went to Qian Tongsheng's office. Qian Tongsheng smiled and said, "Are you ready? I was just about to ask someone to rush you."
"Okay, I just asked the team members to look over it, which delayed us for a while." Wang Ying said as he placed the plan in front of Qian Tongsheng.
Qian Tongsheng flipped through the plan and pointed to the chair opposite the desk: "Sit down first and wait for me to finish reading it."
Wang Ying sat down and waited for him. Qian Tongsheng read carefully, word by word, nodding as he read. He asked, "Did you do all this by yourself? Has Director Zhao seen it?"
"The statistical data was collected by several team members, and I just summarized it. Director Zhao hasn't seen it because he was out yesterday," said Wang Ying.
Qian Tongsheng smiled and said, "Very good, very good."
Speak of the devil, and he will appear. Director Zhao and Deputy Director Zheng came together. They both came to see how Wang Ying's proposal was written.
After reading it, Factory Director Qian praised, "Wow, our factory has truly hired a talent, no, a genius. This plan and report, no matter which leader reads it, will definitely give it their approval. You guys should take a look at it too."
Director Qian handed the plan to the other two leaders.
Deputy Factory Director Zheng joked, "Old Zhao is too old-fashioned. He could have watched it at home first, but he insisted on squeezing in with me."
Director Zhao ignored him. Actually, he wanted to come and see her yesterday, but Chen Xiuqin was unhappy about her eldest daughter's matter, and he was busy accompanying her, so he interrupted her.
While Director Zhao and his colleagues were reviewing the report, Director Qian said to Wang Ying, "Once this report is approved, you will be promoted to full-time team leader."
"Thank you for the cultivation from the organization and leaders." Wang Ying said skillfully.
Director Qian laughed and said that their factory had not had time to cultivate the trees yet, but they had already grown into mature materials.
After reading it, Deputy Director Zheng and his colleagues sighed, "This report is better written than anything I, an old revolutionary, could write. There's absolutely no problem with it. Old Qian, please submit it and let them taste our new product. If it doesn't pass, I'll eat the sign at the entrance of our factory."
Director Zhao didn't say anything to avoid suspicion, but he couldn't help but smile with pride. This is his daughter-in-law, how amazing!
"Okay, then you all go back to the office, I'm leaving." Qian Tongsheng said.
Wang Ying returned to the office, and Zhou Qianjin asked, "How's it going, Team Leader?"
"Director Qian has taken it to the leadership for approval," Wang Ying said. "We just have to wait for the results."
"I'm a little nervous," said Wu Haiyang.
Luo Wenshu said, "I'm not nervous, I'm just excited! We're almost halfway through our first mission!"
"Yes, my blood is boiling." Wu Haiyang said with a smile.
Wang Ying returned to his seat and began writing and drawing again.
Wu Haiyang turned to look at her: "Team Leader, what are you still writing?"
"The key is to write a work plan, and once it's approved, we need to start production," Wang Ying said. "The mission is complete only when all the welfare products have reached every eligible comrade, and they experience no adverse reactions after consuming them, and they all like the new products and are willing to buy them."
Wu Haiyang and Luo Wenshu looked at each other in surprise. The team leader was thinking too far ahead, too comprehensively...
Wu Haiyang turned around and wanted to write a work plan, but he didn't know what to write. This was the gap between him and the team leader...
It was almost time for dinner, and Xu Lili was getting a little restless. She muttered, "The factory director hasn't come back yet! Why is the approval taking so long? Can it be approved today?..."
After she said this, the others also began to get restless. Wu Haiyang simply ran to the window to wait, so that he could be the first to see the factory director return.
At around twelve o'clock, Wu Haiyang saw the factory director coming back on a bicycle.
"The factory director is back!" Wu Haiyang said excitedly.
Xu Lili also ran to the window to see: "He's really back, Team Leader, go ask the factory manager."
Wang Ying smiled and said, "Why are you so anxious? I'm going there now so that the factory manager will know that we are not working properly and are squatting at the window!"
"Hehe." Xu Lili laughed, "I just really want to know the result."
Director Qian seemed to know how anxious they were. He returned to the office building and went straight to Wang Ying and the others.
When the five people saw the factory director coming, they all stood up immediately, and Wang Ying was no exception.
Qian Tongsheng looked at their expectant eyes and said with a smile, "Congratulations, the plan has been approved! The budget has also been approved."
"Great!" Zhou Qianjin shouted and started clapping, and the others followed suit.
"There is another good news. Your acting team leader has been officially promoted to team leader. You should congratulate her." Qian Tongsheng said.
"Congratulations, Team Leader!"
"Congratulations, Team Leader!"
"Thank you everyone. We will continue to work together and make progress together." Wang Ying looked at the team members with a smile.
Qian Tongsheng said to Wang Ying, "The leaders like our new product very much and attach great importance to it. The next production task will not be easy. You will have to go to the workshop this afternoon."
"Yes, I will ensure that the task is completed!" Wang Ying responded.
"The leaders not only like our new products, but also value Comrade Wang Ying personally. Comrade Wang Ying, please keep up the good work in the future!" said Qian Tongsheng.
"Yes! I will keep in mind the leadership's teachings!" Wang Ying felt that the speaking skills he learned in the garment factory in his previous life were really useful now.
There was a noise in the corridor, it was time for lunch.
Qian Tongsheng said, "Let's go eat first. There's a meeting this afternoon and you need to attend it."
"good."
"Let's go and have dinner together." Qian Tongsheng greeted his comrades in the development team with a smile.
Wang Ying and Qian Tongsheng went to the cafeteria together and ate together. There were some people in the factory who didn't know Wang Ying and his friends before, but now they all knew them.
After dinner, Wang Ying and the others returned to the office. Just now, because the leader was there, they had been restrained, but now they were really excited.
"Team Leader, that's great!" Xu Lili said, "You're amazing!"
"This was accomplished by all of us together. We are all very capable," said Wang Ying.
"No, no, no, we just played a small supporting role!" said Xu Lili.
"That's also indispensable." Wang Ying said.
Luo Wenshu continued, "That's right, Team Leader is right. We are just playing a supporting role now, but we can also take on the main responsibility in the future!"
Wang Ying smiled and said, "Yes, that's it."
Wang Ying didn't go to the tea room in the morning, and now he was thirsty, so he called Xu Lili to go to the tea room to get some water.
A colleague who was not sure which workshop or department he was from came out of the tea room and actually greeted Wang Ying.
"Team Leader Wang, can you turn on the water?"
"Yes." Wang Ying looked at him and seemed to not know this man.
After he left, Xu Lili muttered, "He used to say bad things about the team leader, but now he's being polite. I hate people like this who are rude at first but polite later!"
"Huh? Did he say bad things about me?" Wang Ying said.
"Team leader, don't you remember? When you first joined the factory, you came to the tea room once and he and another person said bad things about you. We heard it," said Xu Lili.
"I really don't remember." said Wang Ying.
"I didn't expect the team leader to have such a bad memory?" Xu Lili was a little surprised. "I still remember you glaring at them fiercely at that time. Don't you even remember that?"
"As for this incident, I don't remember it either. I wouldn't do such a thing, I don't think I'd be cruel to anyone..."
"It's not that you were vicious, on the contrary you looked at them in the face." Xu Lili felt that the team leader's memory might not be very good.
"I really don't remember. I don't take it to heart because it's an unimportant person. Look, he is greeting me politely now," said Wang Ying.
"That's also a kind of skill. Unlike me, the more insignificant things are, the more they are automatically stored in my mind," said Xu Lili.
"Then you are quite capable." Wang Ying said with a smile.
During the afternoon working hours, Wang Ying was called to a meeting.
The meeting was based on Wang Ying's proposal, but it had previously been a proposal, now a notice from the leadership. The factory printed a few copies at noon, and each comrade in attendance had one in front of them.
"Comrade Wang Ying, you will be the main speaker at today's meeting," said Qian Tongsheng.
"Okay." Wang Ying did not hesitate. Although she had no preparation and no draft, she had one in her mind.
Fang Hongjun also attended the meeting, report in hand, flipping through the pages. He didn't listen to what Wang Ying was saying, only focused on the paper in front of him. He had never seen a report written this way, with data so transparent and detailed. From product production and development to packaging and sales, there was nothing she couldn't do. Perhaps he shouldn't have gone against Wang Ying in the first place over the small profit of the year-end bonus...
