Chapter 67: A Sharp Decline in Family Status



Wu Changfeng asked a question.

The question left the team leaders, including Wang Mingzhu, completely baffled.

What qualifications do we have to become a team leader?

no.

Didn't you appoint this team leader?

It's not like we begged you to take office!

But everyone could see that if the answer didn't satisfy Wu Changfeng, the organization might instantly revert to being just a worker.

A salary of 400 yuan is just a pipe dream.

The team leaders turned red with frustration, racking their brains for words to come up with a respectable response.

However, due to their limited education, being able to graduate from primary school was a miracle.

Huo Jiaqi scoffed, saying that if he were to do it, he could spout a few grand pronouncements, interspersed with classical Chinese poetry, and Wu Changfeng would be beaming with pride.

Wu Changfeng handed out a sheet of paper to each of them, asking them to write down their reasons for being qualified to become group leaders.

Wang Mingzhu bit the tip of her pen, pondered for a moment, and then picked up the pen and began to write rapidly.

One person was immediately stunned and cried out, "Factory manager, I... I can't read!"

Wu Changfeng tapped the table helplessly: "Then you can go home now."

"Factory manager. I, I..."

Wu Changfeng waved his hand: "Don't say anything. You can't even read. In the future, when the factory issues documents and technical processes, you won't understand them either. How will you lead your subordinates to do production?"

The remaining nine people buried themselves in writing for a full hour.

It was already dark.

Wu Changfeng put away the papers and read them one by one.

not bad.

It's mostly about how to work hard to ensure the production schedule is met, and so on.

In reality, Wu Changfeng was just going through the motions.

Even if these people lack ability now, they can still be trained later.

It's mainly about attitude.

Of course, if you're unlucky enough to be illiterate, that won't work.

Wu Changfeng had no interest in setting up another literacy class.

Let the team leader go home.

Huo Jiaqi stayed at the factory to guard it.

Wu Changfeng planned to go home.

As I drove my Mercedes out of the factory gate, I saw Wang Mingzhu looking anxious and hurrying towards the county town.

Wu Changfeng rolled down the car window and called out, "Get in the car."

"Factory manager..." Wang Mingzhu said in a panic, "I can walk back."

"Come on, it'll take half an hour to walk back."

Wang Mingzhu carefully got into the car, looking at the luxurious decorations and feeling somewhat restrained.

While driving, Wu Changfeng asked, "You look familiar, but I can't quite place you."

“We have indeed met,” Wang Mingzhu said softly, her head lowered.

"where?"

"Tractor factory".

Wu Changfeng suddenly realized: "You're Zhang Jianguo's wife, aren't you? No wonder you seem so familiar!"

Yes, yes.

Wu Changfeng asked again, "I remember you have a class, so why are you here?"

Wang Mingzhu sighed, her expression softening: "The business isn't doing well. That's why I heard from Qian Wang that you've started another factory, so I came to check it out. Who knew I'd get the job?"

Wu Changfeng laughed heartily: "Alright, my place should be much better than yours. If you don't like it, just come over. When it comes to making money, who doesn't want more, right?"

Wang Mingzhu nodded: "That's what I'm planning to do too."

"You should buy a bicycle to commute to get off work; I don't get many rides like this."

Wang Mingzhu covered her mouth and smiled, then nodded.

After dropping Wang Mingzhu off at her residence, Wu Changfeng left the car at the county government building and walked home.

Wang Mingzhu pushed open the door and found Zhang Jianguo sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) with a cold face.

The children were doing their homework in another room.

"Why don't you light a fire and cook?" Wang Mingzhu said with some dissatisfaction.

She then changed her clothes and started cooking.

Zhang Jianguo snorted: "You've really made something of yourself! Taking so long to come back."

"Something's up."

"What's wrong?" Zhang Jianguo said angrily, "I went to your workplace, and you didn't come to work all day! What have you been doing? Tell me!"

Wang Mingzhu turned around and glared at her: "What can I do! What do you think I can do!"

Zhang Jianguo jumped up: "I saw it all! You came back by car! A Mercedes-Benz, no less!"

"You've got yourself hooked up with a big boss, huh? This place can't tolerate you anymore, huh?"

"Where's the hat? Come on, put it on me!"

Wang Mingzhu's chest trembled with anger: "Don't make things up! I did come back by car, but I didn't do what you're saying!"

"Bullshit!" Zhang Jianguo pointed and cursed, "You weren't at work all day, only coming back in the evening. Have you no shame? I can't live like this anymore!"

Wang Mingzhu's teeth chattered: "That's Wu Changfeng! If you keep spouting nonsense and slandering my innocence, we're done. Let's get a divorce!"

Zhang Jianguo was stunned on the spot, and asked in confusion, "Wu, Wu Changfeng? Factory Director Wu?"

"Who else could it be but him?" Wang Mingzhu threw off her apron, looking displeased.

"No." Zhang Jianguo was a little confused: "How did you two get together?"

Wang Mingzhu said, "Didn't you know he set up a new factory in Qingyang Town?"

"I've heard about it."

"I just went to check it out, who knew I'd get accepted and even become a group leader."

Zhang Jianguo exclaimed, "Team leader? What happened to your old workplace?"

“I’m taking a leave of absence without pay,” Wang Mingzhu said firmly. “I’ve made up my mind. Your tractor factory is going under again. Last month, they only paid 380 yuan. My old company only paid 120 yuan.”

"So many people in my family are waiting for food, and we can't even get meat!"

Zhang Jianguo scratched his head: "So how much money can you get over there?"

Wang Mingzhu counted on her fingers and said, "The basic salary is 400. According to the factory manager, even with average management skills, the performance bonus can be over 1,000."
