Chapter 13 Meeting Director Tang
As the sun sets, the chemical plant's closing bell rings, and workers gradually return home, while Chow Tai Fook continues to work overtime.
Grandpa Wei felt that Chow Tai Fook was now terribly unfamiliar. He was always working overtime, quietly teaching apprentices how to repair equipment, and helping colleagues with urgent matters work overtime. In short, he was simply crazy.
Meanwhile, after Director Tang returned home, Tang Rong shared her thoughts with him.
Director Tang squinted, looking at Tang Rong with a serious expression, and asked, "Did you come up with this yourself?"
She didn't believe her daughter could come up with such a feasible plan on her own.
Tang Rong stared nervously at the ground, her hands clenched tightly, and said firmly, "I came up with this with my friend."
"I never expected you to have such a smart friend," Director Tang said sarcastically.
Tang Rong looked up at her mother with a pitiful expression. She felt that her friends were all nice, so she cautiously asked, "Can I stay in her production team for a while?"
Director Tang thought for a moment, then said seriously, "I need to meet your friend first. If she's reliable, I'll agree to your plan."
Tang Rong said excitedly, "Ah! That's really great, Mom. She's very reliable. She's the youngest daughter-in-law of Zhou Dafu from the chemical plant. She just got married here not long ago. I'll go and call her over right now."
Director Tang thought about the name Chow Tai Fook carefully, but he had no recollection of it and didn't know it.
The plan was good, but there were too many things that could be manipulated within it. She wanted to see what Tang Rong's so-called friend's ultimate goal was, whether he was genuinely trying to help Tang Rong, or if he wanted to get something from Tang Rong.
Tang Rong ran excitedly towards Lin Yuanshu's house.
Meanwhile, Zhou Ma was inquiring about the progress of Lin Yuanshu's gift delivery, saying, "Don't take the money and do nothing. Keep this matter in mind and complete this task as soon as possible..."
Lin Yuanshu said helplessly, "Mom, don't say things like 'I'm getting paid but not doing any work' next time. This money isn't for me; I'm doing unpaid work. It doesn't benefit me at all, and you keep urging me. If you keep urging me, I'm not doing it anymore."
"You dare not do it!" Zhou Ma said fiercely.
Lin Yuanshu said softly, "I dare."
The voice was soft, but exceptionally firm.
Aunt Zhou sneered and said disdainfully, "If you don't want to talk, then don't. What's the big deal? Do you think I'm willing to talk to you? It's only for your own good, to help you improve."
Lin Yuanshu frowned and retorted, "Mom, if you really care about me, then practice your cooking skills more. Look at my sister-in-law, her cooking is delicious. Don't be upset that I'm saying these things; I'm doing this for your own good and want you to improve."
Zhou Ma: "..."
Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Xue barely managed to suppress her laughter. Her sister-in-law really was a jinx to her mother-in-law!
Zhou's mother was so angry that she sulked in the living room.
Lin Yuanshu kindly reminded her, "Mom, you shouldn't get angry all the time; it's bad for your breasts."
"If you say less, I won't get angry," Zhou's mother said through gritted teeth.
Lin Yuanshu said helplessly, "If you say less, I'll just say less!"
She's not just bored; she goes to argue with her mother-in-law every day, driving her to the brink of madness.
Just as the two were bickering, Tang Rong came to the living room door. When she saw Lin Yuanshu, she said excitedly, "Comrade Lin, my mother wants to meet you."
Lin Yuanshu paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'll go right now."
"Okay." Tang Rong took Lin Yuanshu's hand affectionately.
Without Lin Yuanshu's introduction, everyone present knew that Tang Rong was Director Tang's daughter. Sister-in-law Xue was genuinely curious about how Lin Yuanshu had managed to get Director Tang to take the initiative to ask to see her.
Zhou Ma's voice immediately became gentle and soft-spoken, "Second daughter-in-law, then hurry up and go. Don't keep Director Tang waiting. I'll save some food for you."
Lin Yuanshu nodded and followed Tang Rong to the Tang family home.
She really liked the layout of Director Tang's home; they had converted a one-bedroom apartment into a two-bedroom apartment, which didn't feel cramped at all.
It's so good to be a leader these days! The rooms where leaders live are significantly larger than the rooms where workers live; that's her dream house!
The Tang family only has one daughter, Tang Rong. It can be said that Tang Rong has never had any worries about life since she was a child, which explains why she has such a naive idea.
At this moment, Director Tang was sitting on the sofa in the living room, her gaze sweeping over Lin Yuanshu.
Lin Yuanshu smiled slightly at Director Tang. Director Tang was different from the other middle-aged women she had met. She had short hair, wore a women's Zhongshan suit, and exuded an imposing and powerful aura.
Lin Yuanshu's hands trembled uncontrollably, not from fear, but from excitement.
In fact, when she first started working as a pharmaceutical researcher in her previous life, she was also ambitious and wanted to climb the corporate ladder. However, as soon as she made some achievements, her superiors would snatch them away.
Her appeals to higher authorities were useless; the pharmaceutical factory was a private enterprise, and her supervisor was related to the factory director. Her efforts were futile, as others were simply born into better circumstances.
Then she quit her job and went to other pharmaceutical factories, only to find that all the factories were the same. So she gave up. It doesn't matter where you work, it's still work. Being a master of slacking off is fine too. Do the least work, get a decent salary, and make a killing!
But this era is different. The factory implements a system of factory director responsibility under the leadership of the Party Secretary. The factory is managed by the state. Although absolute fairness and impartiality cannot be achieved, the merits will not be easily stolen as in the previous life. As long as you have the ability, you will definitely be able to stand out.
"Let's go inside and talk." Director Tang was quite satisfied with Lin Yuanshu's performance; at least she wasn't timid or hesitant in front of her. It was clear at a glance that she was a bold woman, and she admired this kind of woman.
"Okay," Lin Yuanshu readily agreed.
Tang Rong followed behind Lin Yuanshu, preparing to go inside.
Director Tang stopped Tang Rong and asked, "Why are you following along?"
Tang Rong looked bewildered and asked in confusion, "Is it wrong for me to join in discussing my affairs?"
Director Tang thought for a moment and refused without hesitation: "No."
Tang Rong was stunned for a moment, and could only give Lin Yuanshu a look that said, "Good luck to you."
Seeing this, Lin Yuanshu raised an eyebrow and gave him a reassuring look.
Director Tang was speechless as she watched the two exchanging glances. She thought, "Let's just chat. It's not like my room is some kind of den of dragons or tigers."
