Lin Jiafu was taken aback at first, but then quickly understood.
I couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
At this crucial juncture, Zhao Nianmeng discussed work-related matters with him, and aside from topics related to the reform of state-owned enterprises, he couldn't think of anything else.
Lin Jiafu became more and more excited as he thought about it, but he nodded gently with a warm smile on his face.
"I've just finished eating. If Director Zhao needs any instructions, I'll certainly follow your orders!"
Since it was work-related, no one had much to say, but some people looked at the two people in front of them with somewhat ambiguous expressions.
Everyone knows that Zhao Nianmeng and Lin Jiafu, the team leader, have a very good relationship; they are all friends.
However, aside from their friendship, everyone tacitly understood that Lin Jiafu showed Zhao Nianmeng concern that went beyond friendship from time to time.
At this moment, although no one said anything on the surface, everyone knew what was going on.
Zhao Nianmeng clearly noticed this as well. Seeing that everyone seemed to understand but didn't say anything, she smiled and looked at Liu Qianqian next to her.
"Liu Qianqian, I need to find out about the factory's recent production capacity. Go get this quarter's report right now and come see me with Team Leader Lin."
Seeing Zhao Nianmeng's serious expression, Liu Qianqian subconsciously nodded and said "Oh".
With Liu Qianqian there, and Zhao Nianmeng looking very serious, things were going well.
Only then did everyone leave, whispering amongst themselves.
"I thought Director Zhao and Team Leader Lin were getting closer, but Director Zhao just asked him to talk about work. Could it be that something's wrong between them?"
"I don't think so. But everyone's probably overthinking it. I think they're just friends, maybe a little close. Don't spread rumors. Our Factory Director Zhao is a woman; her reputation is the most important thing!"
"That's true. Director Zhao is talking to Team Leaders Liu and Lin, so let's not gossip. Let's finish our meal and get back to our work!"
"..."
The group whispered amongst themselves as they walked away. As for Zhao Nianmeng, she vaguely heard the workers' conversation but didn't pay much attention to it.
She simply glanced at Lin Jiafu, who remained as gentle and refined as ever, and smiled faintly.
"Team Leader Lin, actually, I had some ideas about the reform of state-owned enterprises and wanted to tell you in advance, but it was delayed by various things."
At this point, Zhao Nianmeng paused deliberately, and seeing the fleeting eagerness in Lin Jiafu's eyes, she finally understood.
It seems her guess was right. Fortunately, she followed her younger brother's advice and was wary of everyone.
Otherwise, the news about the reform of state-owned enterprises would probably have been publicized and known throughout the entire factory long ago.
She had only said that tentatively, but she had already seen through Lin Jiafu's true feelings for her.
If you really want to tell Lin Jiafu everything in detail, without any precautions, then...
At this point, she was probably no longer the factory manager.
"Director Zhao, what are you saying?"
Lin Jiafu quickly smiled understandingly, his face full of comfort despite his own anxiety.
“Aside from work, I consider Director Zhao a friend. My friend’s affairs are my affairs, and I will definitely try my best to help Director Zhao.”
"Moreover, the factory's affairs are definitely confidential. Even if Director Zhao and I are friends, we still need to keep public and private matters separate. So I understand Director Zhao, and he doesn't need to blame himself."
Lin Jiafu addressed Zhao, the factory director, as if he were truly handling business. He had no other thoughts or ideas besides factory matters.
"It's good that Team Leader Lin thinks that way."
Zhao Nianmeng smiled faintly, while Lin Jiafu thought that the other party was about to talk about the reform of state-owned enterprises.
Zhao Nianmeng suddenly changed the subject at this moment and said apologetically, "It's just that the reform of state-owned enterprises has always been a matter of utmost importance. The leaders above have specifically arranged that this matter cannot be told to anyone. So, even if I wanted to tell Team Leader Lin, I couldn't violate the regulations. I hope Team Leader Lin can understand me."
These words stunned Lin Jiafu.
Shouldn't Zhao Nianmeng be telling him about the restructuring at this time?
Why did I suddenly decide not to tell him anything?
Lin Jiafu didn't react for a moment. Just as he had organized his measures and wanted to sound out some information,
Then Liu Qianqian's voice came from behind.
"Director Zhao, I have brought you the reports you requested for this quarter. Would you like to take a look now?"
One sentence broke the slightly awkward atmosphere between the two.
Zhao Nianmeng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, because Liu Qianqian's arrival made her feel relaxed both physically and mentally.
"Let me see it."
Zhao Nianmeng nodded and reached out to take the report that Liu Qianqian handed over.
After that, Lin Jiafu, who was standing next to her, was ignored by Zhao Nianmeng from beginning to end, as if he were invisible.
After reading the entire report, Zhao Nianmeng seemed to just realize what was happening and smiled apologetically at Lin Jiafu.
"I'm so sorry, Team Leader Lin. I got a little too engrossed in what I was watching and forgot you were still here. I'm really sorry for taking up so much of your time."
Lin Jiafu was practically cursing under his breath, but seeing Zhao Nianmeng's apologetic and embarrassed expression, he couldn't say anything more.
The fish haven't fully taken the bait yet; it's not the time to start a fight.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiafu suppressed his anger and quickly waved his hand with a smile.
"It's nothing. Director Zhao is usually very busy, and there are so many things to do at the factory. Director Zhao, if you need any help, just let me know anytime, and I will do my best to help you!"
Despite saying this, Lin Jiafu secretly clenched his fists tightly, cursing inwardly.
This little bitch is completely oblivious to his tricks and isn't following his plans at all!
They had finally gotten a perfect opportunity, but Zhao Nianmeng had somehow managed to defuse the crisis without them even realizing it.
Just thinking about it made Lin Jiafu's face full of resentment.
But there's already said almost everything that needs to be said, so there's no point in staying any longer; it would only make Zhao Nianmeng suspicious.
