Chapter 102 102 This opportunity, she is determined to win
Director Yang didn't mean to embarrass her. He simply lowered his head and spoke cryptically, "Zhao Dong is vying for the position of workshop director in this internal transfer. I'm not sure if he's willing, and I can't make the decision."
"Is that so?" Jiang Lili quickly understood what Director Yang meant. In this internal transfer, Zhao Dong might be on the opposite side of him, so he hesitated.
"You go find him first. If he's unwilling, then see if there are other suitable candidates." Director Yang expressed his support.
"Okay, thank you, Director Yang," Jiang Lili said, bowing her head. This seemed like a tricky situation. Zhao Dong might become the new workshop director now. Would he be willing to go to Beijing? Jiang Lili quickly realized that even if he didn't want to go, she could still find someone else. The successful production of the cross-dressing dolls was thanks to the team led by Zhao Dong. He wasn't the only one on the team. If he didn't want to go, there would naturally be others who would. Jiang Lili thought about it, but before leaving, she went to the workshop to find Zhao Dong. Seeing her, Zhao Dong was delighted. "Lili, what do you want to talk to me about?"
When Zhao Dong first learned that she had become a shareholder of Tongqu Player, he felt it was a pity, but he didn't expect that there would be an opportunity to work together again so soon.
"Brother Zhao, do you want to go to Beijing?" Jiang Lili asked directly.
"Going to Beijing?" Zhao Dong couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"We need to borrow your workers to go to Beijing to train new workers. Don't worry, if you don't want to, I won't force you." Jiang Lili said in a gentle voice.
Zhao Dong glanced around warily before answering, then lowered his voice and asked, "When will you be back? Or is there a chance for you to stay?"
Now it was Jiang Lili who was surprised: "Are you willing to stay in Beijing?"
Zhao Dong gave a bitter smile. His current situation might seem glamorous to outsiders, but only he knew the pain within. He coughed lightly and said, "Shall we discuss this somewhere else?"
"Okay." Jiang Lili quickly understood what he meant.
Zhao Dong still had to go to work and couldn't leave now, so Jiang Lili went to take a walk around the first factory and asked about the internal transfers at the next factory during this period.
After a walk outside, Jiang Lili learned that a group of people had been laid off from the factory some time ago. It was at this time that she roughly understood Zhao Dong's thoughts. Even if he could become the workshop director, being laid off was only a matter of time. It would be better to go directly to Beijing to fight for a future. In any case, it would be better than waiting to be laid off in the factory.
At the appointed time, Zhao Dong ran over, looking breathless. "Lili, I'm sorry. I just got off work and a leader came to inspect the workshop. I kept you waiting for a long time."
"It's okay, Brother Zhao, you should take a rest first." Jiang Lili pointed to the water cup in front of him, indicating that he should drink some water to relax.
Zhao Dong picked up the cup in front of him and drank it all. After a long while, he spoke: "I agreed to what you said before about going to Beijing." He guessed that if he hesitated, she would soon find someone else, so he had to seize this opportunity.
"Then the factory leaders have no objection, right?" Jiang Lili asked tentatively.
"No, isn't it written in the contract that you need to second an experienced worker? I will go to Beijing through the secondment channel first, and then decide how to stay after that depending on the development of the factory." Zhao Dong whispered. He had been thinking about this matter in his mind this morning.
"Okay, as long as you've made up your mind, I'll cooperate with you." Jiang Lili agreed readily. Zhao Dong was a smart man, and he knew that even if he became a workshop director, his career prospects would be predictable if he stayed at the factory. The growth of Tongqu Players had been strong this year, and he was probably tempted by the prospect, hoping to secure a different future for himself.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Lili." Zhao Dong looked grateful, grateful that she chose him.
After parting with Zhao Dong, Jiang Lili went straight home and reported today's results to Cheng yesterday over the phone. At the end, she reminded her: "Hurry up on the contract. If it's finalized sooner, everyone will be relieved."
"Okay, I'll ask the lawyer to draft the contract and then come back as soon as possible. Maybe I can go to Beijing with you then." Cheng said with a smile yesterday.
"I should be able to catch up with the factory's assessment." Jiang Lili thought, this is a good thing, it will be more suitable for her to choose the candidate who will go to Beijing.
"I'll probably have to go to Jincheng to have a meeting with Manager Zhang, and prepare the contract in advance to prevent that old fox from starting work early." Cheng Yuntian is now on guard against Manager Zhang.
"Probably not this time. After all, he also wants to cooperate well." In addition to the profits and rights of the branch factory, what attracted him this time was more the upcoming advertisements. Before, he acted first and reported later without any problem, but now Cheng Dabiao's factory in Quan City is eyeing it covetously. It seems that a shrewd person like Manager Zhang will not make such a mistake again.
"I hope so. Then I'll go contact the lawyer about the contract first." Cheng Yuntian hung up the phone after saying that. Everything has been going incredibly smoothly recently, which makes Cheng Yuntian feel relieved but also worried. She was worried that there were all kinds of unexpected problems under the smooth surface. Until the incident of Manager Zhang was exposed, she felt relieved.
After the call, Jiang Lili had the rest of the afternoon to herself. She was about to go home to do her homework. Jiang Qitong guessed her intentions in advance: "Sister Lili, are you going home?"
"Yes, my homework is at home, I have to go back." Jiang Lili explained.
"Then I'll go with you to do homework." Jiang Qitong made a decision quickly.
"Okay, but before that, you need to talk to your aunt first," Jiang Lili reminded.
"She will definitely agree to do homework. I'm not going there to play." Jiang Qitong started packing her schoolbag while speaking.
A smile flashed in Jiang Lili's eyes, and she immediately said to Zhou Qingfen who was busy in the room inside: "Aunt, I'll take Tongtong to our house to do homework."
"Go ahead and come back early for dinner." Zhou Qingfen reminded.
"Okay." Jiang Lili said and took Jiang Qitong to their home. On the way, Jiang Qitong asked the same question again: "Sister Lili, are you going to Beijing again?"
"It will probably take a few days. What's wrong? Do you still want to go?" Jiang Lili asked casually.
"I want to go, but my mother doesn't agree. I really want to grow up quickly." Jiang Qitong said with a sigh. She seemed to want to grow up quickly so that she could have freedom when she grew up.
"Then you should work hard and eat more, and grow up quickly." Jiang Lili rubbed her head after saying that. She remembered that when she was as old as Jiang Qitong, she was so happy all day long, and felt that she had a script of easy victory. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sighed. Forget it, let's not talk about the past. Because of that idea, she had a happier childhood than ordinary people.
The two sisters started doing their homework as soon as they got home. Jiang Lili thought that if she could write more, she would have an easier time later on, while Jiang Qitong thought that if she could finish today's homework early, she could go downstairs to jump rope.
*
Not many people knew about Jiang Lili's trip to Beijing. Ji Mingyue knew about it because of Song Zhenzhen. Song Zhenzhen was working the night shift now, but she also signed up for the application to go to Beijing. Although she knew that she would most likely not be selected, she still wanted to give it a try.
"If only you had been more patient." Song Zhenzhen looked at Ye Qiuju, her tone full of regret. If they had been more cautious and hadn't let the Jiang mother and daughter discover their existence, Ji Yushu would have half of everything they have now.
"Are you saying that Lili has gone to Beijing to open a branch factory?" Ji Yushu, who originally disliked Song Zhenzhen, couldn't help but ask after hearing this news.
"Yes, she went to Beijing with her boss. I heard she took her family on a trip there a while ago. This time she came back to recruit new workers for the Beijing branch." Song Zhenzhen really wanted to go to Beijing. She had always known her strengths, so she believed that she could live a good life there. As for why she didn't go to Beijing on her own, there was a reason. The choices she made when she had a job were completely different from those when she didn't.
Ji Mingyue originally wanted to refute her and accuse her of lying, as she had just seen Jiang Lili the day before yesterday. However, she swallowed her words back after hearing her last sentence. She lowered her eyes and stared at her toes, somewhat puzzled about her good luck. In her heart, she was unwilling to admit that this was Jiang Lili's ability, so she thought jealously that it was indeed important to have a good background. Her grandfather used to be the director of a cotton mill, so he must have many connections and personal connections.
"She's just lucky. Besides, Beijing is a place like Beijing. Who can guarantee that their factory won't go bankrupt?" Ye Qiuju obviously had the same idea as Jiang Lili. She thought that she knew in her previous life that Ji Yushu was the richest man. The first thing she did after her rebirth was to find a way to reconnect with Ji Yushu and find a way to squeeze out Jiang Yulan and her daughter. She didn't consider at all how Ji Yushu became the richest man.
"Bah, bah, bah, don't talk nonsense. I still want to rely on the factory to go to Beijing and not go bankrupt. They also need to hire people to shoot commercials. Business will be good in the future." Song Zhenzhen looked at Ye Qiuju with some gloom. Her nature of not wanting to see others doing well has not changed.
"Aunt, didn't you say before that you were a temporary worker? Can temporary workers also go to Beijing?" Ji Mingyue asked with a smile on her face. Song Zhenzhen deliberately came to tell them this news, probably to laugh at their jokes.
"Of course you can. The capable ones will get the upper hand. Okay, I know you are not happy that I am telling you this, but am I not thinking about you? Brother-in-law is Jiang Lili's biological father after all, and you are her sister. We are all connected, so you should go and talk to them and ask them to forgive you. Then it will be a piece of cake to let brother-in-law go to Beijing, right?" Song Zhenzhen said with a serious look on her face. As long as Ji Yushu went to Beijing, she didn't believe that Ye Qiuju would not go. Wouldn't she have a chance then?
"No need, we're fine like this now." Ji Yushu said in a firm tone. He still remembered Jiang Lili's attitude on the bus the day before yesterday, and he would not humiliate himself.
"Brother-in-law, are you really not going to give it a try? That's Beijing!" Song Zhenzhen said unwillingly.
"No, and you'd better leave quickly. It will be bad if my parents come over and see you." Although the old couple has been quiet recently, there is no guarantee that they can still remain calm after seeing Song Zhenzhen.
"Mingyue, don't you want to go to Beijing? Jiang Lili is younger than you and is about to take a plane to Beijing. You are sisters after all." Song Zhenzhen tried to persuade Ji Mingyue.
"I don't want to." Ji Mingyue suddenly grasped the key point at this time. Jiang Lili is not in Yun City this summer vacation, so can she take advantage of this gap to attack Lu Jiaze?
"Okay, I'm meddling in other people's business. This trip was in vain." After leaving them, Song Zhenzhen did not give up. She decided to ask Jiang Lili in person. Jingshi needed workers from here to bring new workers, and they also needed workers there. Could she go to Jingshi as a new worker? At this moment, Song Zhenzhen seemed to have forgotten her identity as a temporary worker.
After Song Zhenzhen left, the family of three tried their best to hide their disinterest in the current situation of Jiang Lili and her daughter, until Ji Xingyue's crying broke the silence. Ji Yushu glanced at Ye Qiuju with some annoyance: "She's crying again, go see if she's hungry."
"I just fed her, how could she be hungry so quickly? Let her cry if she likes." Ye Qiuju had a cold look on her face. Yes, she attributed all her current unhappiness to this child. She always had an idea in her mind that if this child was a son, her life would not be so hard now.
Ji Mingyue didn't want to care about it at first, but she was afraid that if she continued crying, her voice would become hoarse, and then she would have to take care of her again. So she got up to check if she had urinated. When she opened her pants, she found that her diaper needed to be changed. She looked at Ye Qiuju and Ji Yushu with some disgust. They took care of the child but didn't raise it. They deserved to be scolded for not having a son.
She changed Ji Xingyue's diaper, and Ji Xingyue stopped crying. Ye Qiuju glanced at her and said, "She barely looks like a sister."
Ji Mingyue snorted coldly and ignored her. She cared about Ji Xingyue because her conscience reminded her that it was she who came up with the idea of letting Ye Qiuju use the child to tie Ji Yushu down, so she was also responsible for Ji Xingyue's birth.
"Let her take care of Xingyue first, so that she will have the experience to take care of her younger brother in the future." Ji Yushu said as he glanced at Ji Xingyue and quickly looked away.
Ye Qiuju didn't say anything. Her mind was still on Song Zhenzhen's words. If Song Zhenzhen went to Beijing, wouldn't she become a joke? It was also at this time that Ye Qiuju realized that Ji Yushu's success in his previous life might have been due to the help of the Jiang family. She lowered her eyes and temporarily suppressed the emotions in her eyes. She had to think about herself carefully and couldn't give birth to the child without thinking twice like before.
Although Ji Xingyue was pregnant with her second child, she was older than when she was pregnant with Ji Mingyue. She was about to leave the confinement period, but her overall condition had not recovered. Thinking of what Ji Yushu had just said, she couldn't help but sneer. He wanted her to continue giving birth, but he should hurry up and make money!
Ji Mingyue paused as she was packing the diapers, a cold look flashing across her eyes. "How dare you? Do you really think you're the emperor?" She planned to find a time to ask Ye Qiuju when the noble person she mentioned would appear.
"Mingyue, take these and wash them all." Ye Qiuju pointed to the dirty clothes she had taken off. She was still in confinement and could not touch cold water.
"Let dad wash you." Ji Mingyue gave her a displeased look.
"He doesn't have the time. Don't worry, I won't need your help after I'm out of confinement." Ye Qiuju softened her voice rarely.
"When will what you said last time happen?" Ji Mingyue couldn't help but ask.
"It should be soon. I don't remember the exact date, but I know that everyone was wearing cotton-padded jackets at that time." Ye Qiuju calmly stabilized Ji Mingyue. Before she made a decision, she naturally had to use the carrot of Ji Yushu becoming the richest man in the future to tug at Ji Mingyue.
"Wearing a cotton jacket? That means it's winter." Ji Mingyue couldn't help but frown. If it was this winter, it would be fine, but if it was next winter, wouldn't he have to endure another year?
"Yes, I remember it was very cold weather. Mingyue, we have endured for so long, we must hold on, otherwise all our efforts will be wasted." Ye Qiuju did not forget to observe Ji Mingyue's expression while speaking, and seeing her hesitation, she could not help but add fuel to the fire.
"I see." Ji Mingyue had her own thoughts. Although she began to doubt Ye Qiuju's words, she also had a point. Anyway, she was still a high school student, so she could wait a little longer. Thinking of Song Zhenzhen mentioning Jiang Lili's current situation, Ji Mingyue's eyes flashed with displeasure. Why should she be living better than herself?
Seeing that she agreed, Ye Qiuju couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then asked tentatively: "What do you think about what your aunt said today?"
"She's not doing this for us, she just wants to go to Beijing." Ji Mingyue sneered. Don't think she doesn't know what Song Zhenzhen is planning.
"But we can also use her. If she can go to Beijing smoothly, we can also sabotage them." Ye Qiuju whispered. If Song Zhenzhen could go to Beijing, it would be a way out for herself.
Ji Mingyue looked thoughtful, and Ye Qiuju stopped while she was ahead. All she had to do now was wait for good news from Song Zhenzhen.
"You have a point, but we probably can't help with this matter. Let her go find Jiang Lili or her mother. They have always been hypocritical and will not implicate innocent people." Ji Mingyue knew Jiang Lili and the others quite well.
"Well, it would be good for us if she went to Beijing." Ye Qiuju had already backed down in her heart. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Ji Yushu's success in her previous life was all due to the Jiang family. Now she felt a little regretful. If she had come to the city a year later, the situation would not be like this. Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret. All she can do is to stop the loss in time, but she must not let this girl know about this.
"I hope so." Ji Mingyue said perfunctorily. Compared with these, she valued her strategy system more. Fortunately, when the next semester starts, her strategy targets will be in the same class as her. This is the only good news for her at the moment.
"Then go wash clothes first. I'll take Xingyue to sleep with me. She's exactly like you when you were a child." Ye Qiuju saw Ji Mingyue's attitude towards Ji Xingyue, and began to brainwash her calmly.
"Okay, I understand." Ji Mingyue lowered her head and glanced at the baby on the bed. She told herself that there were still two years left. After the college entrance examination, if Ji Yushu still hadn't succeeded, she would not care about this mess anymore.
*
Song Zhenzhen shared Ji Mingyue's idea. When she applied for the job at the factory, Jiang Yulan had seen her. If she had hated Ye Qiuju's involvement with her, she wouldn't have let her in. So she wanted to fight for herself. The next afternoon, she went to the factory early, hoping to find a chance to ask Jiang Yulan. Unexpectedly, upon arriving, she heard good news: Cheng Yuntian had returned. Although Jiang Yulan was the factory director now, everyone knew who the real boss was. Not having to face Jiang Yulan or Jiang Lili was indeed good news for Song Zhenzhen.
Song Zhenzhen and her group of temporary workers had been at the factory for over half a month. She knew quite a few of the day shift workers, so they were a little surprised to see her. "Zhenzhen, aren't you on the night shift? Why are you here so early?"
"I heard that Director Cheng is back. I have something to ask Director Cheng. Where is she now?" Song Zhenzhen stated the purpose of her visit.
"Director Cheng is in the office now. I heard that he will be going out again soon. If you have something to do, you must hurry." Someone kindly reminded.
"Thank you, I'll go right away." After thanking the other party, Song Zhenzhen hurried to Cheng Yuntian's office.
In the office, Cheng Yuntian handed the drafted contract to Jiang Lili: "Take a look and see if there are any additions. If so, we can redo it."
"With you and the lawyer here, there will definitely be no problem." Jiang Lili flattered with a smile.
"Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. Take a look, what if there is anything that needs to be added?" Cheng Yuntian pushed the contract in front of her again.
Seeing this, Jiang Lili knew she couldn't refuse. Thinking that the interests of the factory were also linked to her, she lowered her head and read carefully. After she finished reading every word, she looked up and rubbed her neck, which was a little sore. "It's very comprehensive. I don't have anything to add for now."
"That's good. By the way, let's sign the 2% equity issue we talked about last time in the next few days." Cheng Yuntian thought that the sooner this matter was signed, the sooner she could feel at ease.
"There's no rush. When are you going to Jincheng?" Jiang Lili asked.
"There's no rush. Manager Zhang knows I'm going back to Yuncheng. Let's wait for him to contact me, otherwise he'll think we're rushing to do something." Cheng Yuntian had been thinking for a long time these past few days and felt that what Jiang Lili said that day made sense. If Manager Zhang didn't cooperate, then let Old Cheng open a branch factory in Quan City. If he didn't want to, what about the other relatives at home? In the past two years, the relatives who followed Old Cheng into business had also made a lot of money.
"That's true. It makes Manager Zhang feel a bit threatened." Jiang Lili's voice was just beginning to ring with laughter when there was a knock on the door. She quickly put away the smile on her face and said, "Since you have something to do, I'll go to the workshop first."
"Okay, you go first. I'll go to the workshop later. The workshop in Beijing is much bigger than this one. I hope that by then the orders from Beijing will surpass this one." Cheng Yuntian looked expectant.
"This shouldn't be difficult. The consumption in Jing City is higher than that in Yun City, and the cities around it are not inferior to Yun City either." Jiang Lili was very confident about this.
After opening the office door, Jiang Lili saw Song Zhenzhen waiting outside. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she could roughly guess why Song Zhenzhen came.
Song Zhenzhen hadn't expected Jiang Lili to be in Cheng Yuntian's office. Before she could decide how to address her, she saw Jiang Lili walk away without even a glance. Although Song Zhenzhen felt a little angry at being ignored, she was more relaxed. With this attitude, she wasn't afraid that Jiang Lili would become an obstacle.
Cheng Yuntian inside said in a surprised voice: "Why don't you come in?"
"I'll be right there." Song Zhenzhen took a deep breath and quickly calmed her voice. She was determined to get the chance to go to Beijing this time.
