Seeing that Old Lady Xia was prepared, Jiang Wenhua was surprised. Old Lady Xia actually started to take sides?
"Old Xia, are you on the factory director's side now?" Jiang Wenhua asked as he walked behind Old Mrs. Xia.
Old Lady Xia didn't give a direct answer, but only said, "Only after reaching this age do I realize that sometimes climbing up the ladder requires some tricks."
Jiang Wenhua: "You're starting to use tricks too? I thought you were a pure person."
Old Lady Xia: "Purity, purity also relies on connections. I've only recently realized that not everyone can be a leader. You don't look down on Deputy Director Tian, do you?"
Jiang Wenhua frowned: "He...he really is a leader who eats his rice for free in the factory. Few of us like him."
Old Lady Xia: "But there are some people who follow him closely behind the scenes. Why? Because he will remember his people when there is a benefit. He will give corresponding benefits when he asks them to help him. He can remember the family situation of every worker who follows him. When his people quarrel with others, he will do his best to protect his people.
Those people... must also know that he has made little contribution to the factory, but he does this to reassure them, so they can do whatever they want. He's got their backs on whatever they want to do. So, is he really incompetent?"
Jiang Wenhua was shocked: "Old Xia, who have you been following to improve yourself to this extent? You actually... you actually can look down on others to this extent?"
Mrs. Xia felt a little ashamed. "Before, I just thought that anyone could do the position of director of women's affairs as long as they had the qualifications. But the factory director told me some things about leadership and management a while ago, and I realized that I used to look at people too one-sidedly. I always thought this person was not good enough and that person was not good enough."
In fact, everyone who can become a leader has their own abilities. As you know, the factory is divided into three factions: the director, the deputy director, and the factory union. If I don't know anything, I will sooner or later become a victim. If you are a victim, you can't accomplish anything.
Jiang Wenhua followed Old Lady Xia silently. He found that Old Lady Xia had really made a lot of progress during this period of time. If she hadn't told him today, he might not have noticed it.
He thought about what Xiao Fang had said. He didn't seem to care about what Xiao Fang wanted to do. He just blindly spent his most precious money on her. But what she wanted spiritually, Jiang Wenhua never thought about it.
In areas that he didn't notice, Xiao Fang and Lao Xia were both making progress, but he didn't care about it at all.
Under Jiang Wenhua's gaze, Old Lady Xia calmly entered the auditorium.
The auditorium was packed. At a glance, many female comrades were not there, but many male comrades were there.
Old Mrs. Xia sat in the first row on the side, next to her were two other people who had registered, and further to the side were the factory director, Director Yuan, and others.
At this point, Director Yuan, with an impatient look on his face, confronted the factory union members and the person in charge of presiding over the election. "We're electing a director of women's affairs. It's normal for leaders to come, but why are these male comrades joining in the fun? We're electing a director of women's affairs, not a director of the men's union. Their opinions don't count, right?"
The person in charge said: "This is a major event for the entire factory. How can we only allow female comrades to participate?"
Director Yuan: "The Women's Director is responsible for matters related to female employees. Why are the male comrades now interfering so much that even the female comrades' leaders are trying to intervene to see if there is anything that threatens them?"
Person in charge: “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Director Yuan cursed inwardly many times, but when he saw Old Lady Xia looking at him with confusion, he finally couldn't help but say, "Fuck you! The organization is giving you face. The Women's Federation will be here soon. They will laugh their heads off when they see this scene. As the person in charge, can you please step in and solve this?"
The person in charge was still playing Tai Chi: "Director Yuan, you have been a leader for many years. How come you can't stop swearing after your divorce?"
Director Yuan pushed him away and walked onto the stage without even the factory director trying to stop him.
"Dear workers, this time we are electing the director of the Women's Workers' Committee. The full name of this meeting should be the Women's Workers' Meeting. Please ask all irrelevant people present to leave. At the same time, the leaders of each department should notify the female comrades in their department to attend. If any female comrade in any department is absent without a valid reason, I will propose to the factory director that this be included in the department leader's performance evaluation..."
The person in charge's face turned black. Wasn't Director Yuan's words a slap in his face? The announcement for this conference was issued by their department. They deliberately didn't make it clear that it was a women's conference, nor did they make it clear that only women employees could attend, just to...
The person in charge glanced at Deputy Director Tian, and sure enough, his face was even darker than his own, and he was getting medicine again.
The people below were dissatisfied when they heard Director Yuan's words.
"Why can only female lesbians participate? We male lesbians also have the right to vote to select the director of the women's department, right?"
Director Yuan: "You have the right. Go to the hospital and tell the doctor that you want to marry a gay man in the future, and then you can participate."
"The director of women's affairs is also a leader in the factory. Why can't we men participate in the vote?"
Director Yuan: "How did you get into the factory? Can you read? What is the title of Women's Director? Why is she called the Women's Director and not the Male Director?"
"We came here after reading the notice from the factory union. It didn't say men couldn't participate, which means we have the right to participate."
Director Yuan: "I will report their mistakes directly to the next textile factory leadership meeting."
"I don't care. I'm not leaving anyway."
"That's right, we're not leaving. Not only are we not leaving, we're also going to report that some of the candidates who registered this time are unworthy of their positions."
"Yes, the factory allowed this kind of person to sign up without even investigating her thoroughly. We don't accept this."
"If someone like this can be a leader, then I think the idiot next door can be one too."
"I suggest that she be disqualified from the registration."
“…”
People in the auditorium kept raising questions and objections, and Director Yuan's answers gradually became inadequate.
Xiang Qiaoqian glanced at Old Lady Xia proudly, wanting to see her panic-stricken look, but she was disappointed. Not only was Old Lady Xia not panicked, she didn't even seem to be affected by these words at all.
"You should know who they are talking about, Comrade Xia?" Xiang Qiaoqian approached Old Mrs. Xia and whispered.
Old Mrs. Xia did not answer, but suddenly stood up, walked firmly to the stage, and stood next to Director Yuan.
"I wonder who you all think is ineligible for registration?"
