Old Yuan glared at the deputy director fiercely. It was this old man who opposed everything every day and even dragged others into opposition, which made him look bad. After all, she was still in charge of the entire factory office and had done most of the work without making any mistakes. Except for the previous incident involving rumors, she had handled it incorrectly. Otherwise, she was very capable.
But this deputy factory director had gotten to this position entirely through favors from the previous factory director. He and the factory director had both been apprentices to the same master, and as their master climbed the ranks, their statuses rose, too, eventually becoming factory director and deputy director.
The factory director was a capable man, and Director Yuan was impressed by him. However, the deputy director became more and more unreasonable after the previous director retired. Not only did he only hire people who had a good relationship with him, he also gave them priority for promotions. Sometimes, he even embezzled some of the gifts given out during festivals, causing the workers in the workshops he managed to cause trouble frequently. She had been troubled by this many times.
The factory director, sitting in this position, could still listen to what was said and reflect on it, but he was different. His brain was like a stone, he couldn't be flexible or adaptable, let alone reflect on it. He didn't even listen to what his subordinates said, especially what female comrades said. It went in one ear and out the other to him.
Last time, a female comrade was so angry that she almost started a fight with him. Later, she was suppressed by someone. As a result, this person came to him and said that he wanted to transfer and demote the female comrade.
He didn't commit any major faults, so how could he be transferred or demoted at will? Director Yuan ignored him, and then he started to hold a grudge against him.
Director Yuan looked down on him because he was tall but narrow-minded. She said that Lao Xia would be a better deputy director than him.
But Director Yuan had no choice. His words were more important than hers. If she could, Director Yuan would have slapped him in the face a few times. She was so angry with the deputy factory director.
After being rejected again this time, Director Yuan calmed down and felt that even if he was rejected, he could still compensate Old Mrs. Xia in another way. Even if he could not become the director of the Women's Department now, he would have to find another position to take.
But before she could open her mouth, she was interrupted by Old Lady Xia's rapid-fire words.
Old Lady Xia was furious. This thin, tall, thin deputy director who looked like a bean sprout, who would take medicine if someone said a few words to him, who had such a weak ability to withstand pressure and poor ability, could be the deputy director. Old Lady Xia even felt that she could be the director. She shouted,
"The deputy director spoke to us in a reasonable and well-reasoned manner, and even said that Old Yuan talked too much. I don't think you need me to show up at this exchange meeting. Our factory only needs the deputy director. When the time comes, he can just stand over there and tell anyone who speaks to shut up. He can tell them to stop repeating themselves and say that they've heard what he said before."
The deputy director was furious and slammed the table, yelling at her, "What do you mean? The director asked you to come along to the meeting because he wanted to give you a chance to broaden your horizons and because he thinks highly of you. Don't think you're that capable. There are so many capable people in our factory. I'm telling you, you're not the only one we have."
Old Lady Xia: "The other one is Jiang Wenhua, right? I tell you, he's so busy with his family affairs that he doesn't have time to care about you. Besides, you don't do them any favors, and you just rely on your mouth to make them work harder. With his temper, he won't be satisfied until he makes a big deal about you.
The donkeys in this production team need to be fed even when they're grinding the millstones. Who would encourage them to grind more millstones to gain experience and then grind more millstones? There aren't many people in the world who just work for free. You, the deputy factory director, are so talented that you expect people to work for you just by talking. What a wishful thinking!
It's still broad daylight, so why not dream at night? What kind of person are you? How did you become deputy factory director? How did you coax the former factory director into helping a piece of shit like you get promoted? If you can become deputy factory director, I don't need to be the director of women's affairs anymore. I can just be the factory director. Factory director, just give me the position you have right there."
Old Mrs. Xia was getting more and more excited. The deputy director kept saying "you" for a long time, and finally, he took out the medicine from his pocket tremblingly, stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it dry.
The factory director, who was listening nearby, felt both happy and embarrassed. He felt happy because he also felt that the deputy factory director was a pest in the factory, who slowed down the work of many comrades and liked to discourage others from working. The worst thing was that he liked to form small groups, and sometimes even he, the factory director, might be cheated.
The embarrassing thing is that although Old Lady Xia specifically scolded the deputy factory director, some of her words seemed to be scolding him as well. He seemed to be the one who got something for nothing as Old Lady Xia mentioned.
Seeing that he took the medicine on his own initiative, he probably knew he was fine. The factory manager said hypocritically, "You, you know you can't stand being scolded, so why do you have to start a fight with me? Calm down first, I'll talk to you about the rest, so don't say anything."
Seeing the deputy director agree, the director turned to Old Lady Xia and said, "Old Xia, I agree with what you said. You are right. You have done a good job in the workshop and have done a good job in educating the workers. Although this is not within your job scope, many people look at you differently because of this.
I didn't think about this aspect of wanting you to go with me to the exchange conference. Although I can't make the decision on the matter of the women's director, and the factory union's matter also needs the consent of their current leaders, there is one thing I can decide on my own.
How about this? You can start by following Lao Yuan and working as a clerk in her factory office. Since Lao Yuan is here, she should agree. Then, you can go to the exchange conference with her and let her give you a title, and it will be legitimate.
Lao Yuan immediately asked the factory manager when he would receive the transfer notice, and the factory manager said it would be before the holiday this week at the latest.
The deputy director cursed for a long time and was finally kicked out by the director.
This was a great humiliation for him. They had been together since they were apprentices. The factory manager rarely got angry with him and basically tried to comfort him. Occasionally, when he was angry with him, he would just ignore what he said and had never asked him to leave so openly.
Could it be that the factory director has also been bewitched by these two women?
The deputy factory director's eyes were dark, and he was ready to have a good talk with his small group. It was better to have several people come up with ideas together than to let him think about it alone.
Anyway, it’s not the factory director’s turn to make the decisions for this factory alone.
The deputy director had a plan in mind. He spat at the door of the director's office and then left.
