This so-called leader was none other than Section Chief Zheng, whom Zhao Nianmeng had called to solicit her opinion last time.
As soon as the call connected, Section Chief Zheng on the other end seemed to know what Zhao Nianmeng was asking, and took the initiative to speak.
"Director Zhao, are you calling me today to inquire about the progress of the state-owned enterprise restructuring plan?"
Zhao Nianmeng smiled somewhat embarrassedly: "Section Chief Zheng, you really are a prophet. After all, almost a week has passed."
"I also want to implement this plan as soon as possible. I'm not rushing you, I just wanted to ask about the progress. Please don't mind. If it's inconvenient to talk about it, then that's fine."
Section Chief Zheng waved his hand with a smile: "It's alright, we're old friends, so I'll give you a sneak peek. The higher-ups are taking this plan very seriously, and it will probably be studied more closely by the next level. We should have a result in about three days. Don't worry, Director Zhao, I'll definitely call you as soon as I have the results."
Upon hearing that the plan had been approved by higher-ups and that the details were being finalized, Zhao Nianmeng couldn't help but smile happily.
"That's wonderful! Thank you so much, Section Chief Zheng. You must have put in a lot of effort. Once the plan is approved, I'll definitely treat you to a meal!"
Section Chief Zheng smiled and said, "I've already said we're old friends, there's no need to be so polite. I'm counting on your proposal to be approved so that it can add some highlights and achievements to my work performance!"
"That's right, that's right," Zhao Nianmeng couldn't help but smile, her excitement barely contained. "Section Chief Zheng, don't worry, I'll definitely remember your kindness!"
The two exchanged a few polite words with smiles, but as soon as the call ended, Zhao Nianmeng's smile became even more uncontrollable. She couldn't sit still at her desk.
After all, if this plan is approved, it will be a huge benefit for their factory.
Most of the factory's senior management already knew about this matter. Once the plan was approved, he could convene a large meeting to finalize and implement it.
However, it's best not to let the factory employees know about this beforehand, to avoid causing any unnecessary trouble.
Little did anyone know that Zhao Nianmeng was in her office, her face beaming with joy, while Lin Jiafu, standing at the door, had listened to the entire conversation from beginning to end.
He originally planned to have dinner with Zhao Nianmeng after get off work, hoping to get closer to her and find out some news about the factory recently.
Unexpectedly, before he could even knock on the door, he heard Zhao Nianmeng talking on the phone inside.
It was because of this that Lin Jiafu learned about the general content of the factory's current reforms.
However, Lin Jiafu was not entirely clear about what it was related to.
"What a pity. Although the soundproofing in the private room wasn't very good when I eavesdropped last time, I still only heard a little bit..."
Lin Jiafu couldn't help but feel a pang of regret: "If only I could know the specific details of this reform plan, only then could the factory reform plan be completely prevented from being implemented."
When it comes to reforms, Lin Jiafu would definitely be the first to disagree.
After all, once the plan is implemented, some of the circumstances that are currently favorable to him will certainly change.
After all, Zhao Nianmeng had already forbidden him from touching the finance department, which meant that the other party had become wary of him.
Thinking this, Lin Jiafu slowly withdrew his hand from the door, his expression changing several times before he finally turned around and prepared to leave.
"Hey, isn't this Team Leader Lin?"
Just then, Zhao Nianmeng was about to leave the office, intending to go home early so she could tell her two younger siblings the good news.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Lin Jiafu turning around. Zhao Nianmeng couldn't help but be curious, so she smiled and greeted him.
Lin Jiafu was genuinely surprised that Zhao Nianmeng would open the door at this moment. Feeling somewhat embarrassed, he thought to himself, "Oh no!" But he still turned around and gave Zhao Nianmeng a slight smile.
"Director Zhao," Lin Jiafu said with a gentle smile, appearing slightly shy, "I was hoping you'd have time tonight to have dinner with me, but I saw you were on the phone, so I didn't want to bother you. I didn't expect you to see this..."
Zhao Nianmeng already had a certain fondness for Lin Jiafu, and upon hearing what he said and seeing the honest, teacher-like smile on his face, she lowered her guard a bit.
"It's alright, Team Leader Lin, you don't need to be so polite. Putting work aside, we're at least friends."
Zhao Nianmeng smiled and said, "If Team Leader Lin doesn't mind, let's have dinner together at that noodle shop nearby tonight. Is that convenient for you, Team Leader Lin?"
However, thinking about how she, a young woman, was going out to eat with a boy at night, she was afraid that if someone saw them, she would never be able to clear her name.
He hesitated for a moment, then regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth, and finally added a sentence as a last resort.
"Of course, Xiao Liu has been working very hard at our factory lately and hasn't had a proper rest in a long time. If Team Leader Lin doesn't mind, let's invite her to join us!"
Before hearing this phone call, Lin Jiafu would have agreed without hesitation.
Now, however, he already knows about the current reform plan for state-owned enterprises and has applied for it to be reviewed by higher authorities.
Lin Jiafu was no longer in the mood to have dinner with Zhao Nianmeng; he just wanted to know the details of the reforms as soon as possible so he could sabotage them.
However, looking at Zhao Nianmeng with her beaming smile, and seeing how beautiful she was, I couldn't help but think of her.
Lin Jiafu ultimately couldn't overcome his own thoughts and nodded as if possessed.
One more woman is one more woman; after all, she's just an ordinary factory worker.
Lin Jiafu only regretted that it was nighttime. If it were daytime, he would definitely have been able to invite Zhao Nianmeng to dinner, instead of having another third wheel.
"Of course, no problem. I'm already very happy that Director Zhao accepted my invitation. It's my honor. Everyone else here would love to do the same."
Upon hearing Lin Jiafu's words, Zhao Nianmeng couldn't help but smile: "Team Leader Lin is still as eloquent as ever. Please wait for me a moment while I quickly pack up, and then we'll head out."
