The cafeteria staff must have gone all out today, using all their best skills. Look at those dishes—they're all delicious and visually appealing, and they've even prepared some alcohol.
Yan Xiaonan felt a little awkward. Drinking at the wrong time was during work hours, but refusing was inappropriate since it was a gift from Factory Director Yi.
Yi Genjin generously picked up the wine bottle and poured a tiny bit of wine into each glass. Yan Xiaonan saw it clearly; it really was just a tiny bit, probably not even enough to fill a spoon.
Raising his glass, Yi Genjin said loudly, "The furniture factory welcomes you. If you're willing, you can give the furniture factory a new name and start a new battle."
Yan Xiaonan raised his glass: "Thank you, Director Yi, for your hard work over the years, and thank you all for your support. From now on, we must unite as one, a thick and strong steel rope, to carry forward our furniture factory."
Everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp. All their ambitions were ignited, and they had only one belief in their hearts: to make the furniture factory bigger and better. If they could generate foreign exchange for the country, that would be even better.
The cafeteria staff were all peeking through the windows. When they saw Yan Xiaonan, they all gasped. How could this little girl be so beautiful? And how old is she? She can lead the way in toasting with Yi Genjin, and she's so arrogant. If you try to twist her like that, you'll break her arm.
Yan Xiaonan's consciousness spread out, covering the entire cafeteria. It was lunchtime, and people were coming and going. Everyone who came in and out would look in Yan Xiaonan's direction, some with surprise, some with speculation, and some with malice.
Yan Xiaonan kept these vicious people in mind. At the same time, Yi Genjin's eyes lit up. It was indeed this little girl. The little girl's ability was much more advanced than his. He could only sense, which was passive, while the little girl was active.
"Yan Xiaonan, they all call you Nannan, so can I call you Nannan too?" Yi Genjin's only thought was to cling to this powerful figure. There weren't many people with active superpowers in the department, making him even more of a national treasure than a national treasure.
"Of course, a name is meant to be called." Yan Xiaonan didn't know much about the special department, but she was more interested in the clothing factory. She deliberately released her special ability to get along with Yi Genjin so that they could contact each other more often in the future.
Southwest knew Nannan's personality. Since Nannan wanted to keep this connection, he had to put in the effort. He put a piece of meat into Director Yi's bowl and said with a smile, "Thank you for today, Director Yi. Let's keep in touch. There are still things I don't understand that I need to learn from you. Please don't hesitate to teach me, Director Yi."
"No problem, no problem."
Both sides had achieved their objectives, and the meal was enjoyed by both hosts and guests. Shen Shaohua came over to remind them, "Factory Director, the meeting starts in fifteen minutes."
The meeting was held in the cafeteria. Yan Xiaonan and the others quickly ate the rice in their bowls, put down their chopsticks and stood up. Yi Genjin handed the lunchbox to Shen Shaohua: "Pack all the food in the lunchbox, we can't waste it."
There wasn't much left, but it filled a whole lunchbox. The people in the cafeteria had already prepared it, and as soon as they left, they rushed out to clean it up. Their movements were quick and efficient, and in ten minutes, they had cleaned the entire cafeteria spotless.
Xu Da and his eleven companions had guarded both doors of the canteen and the main gate tightly, allowing entry but not exit. This situation made the employees a little nervous. It was just a meeting to announce the new person in charge, why was it so tense?
Shen Shaohua stood at the front of the canteen, holding the list and checking it against the microphone. All 203 employees were present, except for the Party Secretary.
At 1:15, Director Yi led Yan Xiaonan and the others into the meeting hall. What Yan Xiaonan and the others didn't know was that public security officers were also present at the canteen entrance, waiting for Director Yi's orders.
Yi Genjin first told everyone that the factory had been contracted out, and then emphasized the introduction of Factory Director Yan and Section Chief Sheng. As for Yan Xiaonan and Ye Chen'er, Yi Genjin did not mention them. Yan Xiaonan knew that this was a way for Factory Director Yi to protect them.
Then he took out a list and read it aloud: "Those whose names are called, please come outside the cafeteria, and hurry up! Hongmei, Hong Xiangyang..."
The person whose name was called was a little confused. What was she going to do outside the cafeteria? But Yi Genjin was not someone to be trifled with, so she obediently listened to him. Hongmei was the first to run out, but as soon as she ran out of the cafeteria, a pair of handcuffs handcuffed her tightly. Just as she was about to open her mouth to curse, a rag was stuffed into her mouth.
Factory Director Yi called out thirty-eight names in total. Yan Xiaonan kept counting the number of people. After counting to thirty-eight, Factory Director Yi's voice stopped. Sigh, Happy International Women's Day.
At first, the workers didn't know what those people were doing. But they recognized their names as influential figures in the factory, and the workers hoped to be called on, just in case something good happened and they would get a share.
At that moment, the tightly closed canteen door was opened, and the workers all turned around to look out. What they saw shocked them: the workers were all being arrested by the police, their hands handcuffed.
“They are all parasites in the furniture factory. Now that the evidence is conclusive, arrest them immediately.”
Yi Genjin's voice echoed throughout the cafeteria, making everyone's heart race with fear. Those who usually liked to take advantage of others were sweating profusely, relieved that they had escaped this time, but they could never take anything from the government again—it was too scary.
Before these people could calm down, Yi Genjin dropped another bombshell: "All temporary workers in the factory, go to the finance department to collect your wages. You don't need to come to work tomorrow. Now, those whose names are called, go to the finance department."
The temporary workers were so frightened by what they had just witnessed that not one of them dared to voice any objection. Upon hearing their names called, they went straight to the finance department. Yan Xiaonan knew, however, that if these people were innocent, they would definitely come to the factory to cause trouble tomorrow, since they all had families to support.
"Second brother, think of a plan tonight. Those temporary workers are scared by Director Yi's methods right now. They'll definitely cause trouble when they come to their senses."
Southwest nodded. When Tang Xiaoling was fired, she didn't make a scene because she was still working at the furniture factory and was worried that making a scene would affect her. But the others didn't have that concern and made a scene at the factory gate every day, making the furniture factory incredibly noisy with three layers of people inside.
However, the factory was determined to ignore them. Eventually, those people got bored and dispersed, but the factory's reputation suffered a major blow, and its already poor business was further worsened.
