"Old Tian, as the deputy director of our textile factory, how could you say something so disheartening to our fellow workers? Comrade Xiao Jiang has won numerous awards for excellence and is extremely diligent and meticulous in his work, yet you look down on him so much? Are only the comrades following you worthy of your good treatment? Don't others have any chance at all?"
As soon as Director Song opened his mouth, it was clear that he was the best at putting the blame on others. With just one sentence, he could make Deputy Director Tian lose his prestige among the workers.
Deputy Director Tian's face was grim. Even if there were no outsiders here, Chen Xiangbei was the loud speaker. No matter how unhappy he was, he absolutely could not admit this. "Old Song, you are joking. That's not what I meant."
Director Song raised the corner of his mouth, "So you mean to say that you will treat Comrade Xiao Jiang well?"
Deputy Director Tian immediately shook his head. "Although I was the one who asked for a secretary, you, as the director, don't have one. How can I be more impressive than you? This is inappropriate."
Everything was as Director Song had guessed. He smiled and nodded his chin towards Chen Xiangbei. "Don't worry about me. I won't make things difficult for you. Look, I'm going to train our young comrade Chen Xiangbei to be my secretary. He'll learn by my side first, and I'll let you know based on his performance."
Seeing that Deputy Director Tian looked like he was crazy, Director Song kindly asked, "Old Tian, do you prefer us to Xiangbei? That's fine, I'll switch with you. Xiao Jiang can be my secretary."
Deputy Director Tian shook his head rapidly. Compared to Chen Xiangbei, Jiang Wenhua was no match for him. At least Jiang Wenhua had been a worker for many years and knew what he could and couldn't do. Chen Xiangbei was just a young, inexperienced person. Who knew if he would cause any disaster?
Besides, Comrade Xia is so rebellious at such an old age and insists on being the director of the Women's Department. Her son will definitely be more difficult to manage than her.
However, Deputy Director Tian still felt something was wrong.
Just as Director Song understood him, he also understood Director Song over the years. This guy was definitely not the kind of person who would hurt his own enemies at the expense of his own. He knew it was aimed at him.
This bastard looks easy to talk to on the outside, and he speaks to people in a negotiating tone, making people feel that he has no lethal power, but in fact he is full of bad intentions.
If he didn't have the means, he wouldn't have been the factory director.
There is a trap, there must be some tricks here. Deputy Director Tian immediately became alert, fearing that he would fall into the trap of this old guy.
Deputy Director Tian slammed the door and left angrily, and Director Song finally had time to ask about Chen Xiangbei.
"Comrade Xiao Chen, have you finished the matter at the school?" At this time, Director Song's tone was gentle and his attitude was friendly, as if he was really treating his junior as his own.
Chen Xiangbei chuckled, "Director Song, just go get your certificate of completion in a few days."
Director Song nodded. "That's good, Xiao Chen. I have high expectations for you. I've heard about your story. You are a rare talent for our textile factory..."
He said a lot of things, some of which were appreciative, some encouraging, and some warnings, which made Chen Xiangbei fall into deep thought.
Seeing that he was silent, Director Song thought that the child was impressed by him, and smiled even more kindly, "Xiao Chen, whatever you are thinking or any opinions you have, you can tell me directly. You will follow me from now on."
Chen Xiangbei scratched his head. "Director Song, let me be frank. Can you please stop talking to me like that? I'm a little scared. You're like my second brother when he can't hold back his fart. You look like he's smiling, but in your heart you're thinking about how to cheat me."
The smile on Director Song's face froze.
With the help of Old Lady Xia, Jiang Wenhua finally got Fang Yingdi to come out. After get off work, the two of them found a place to make things clear.
"Xiao Fang, I've been really reflecting on this lately. My previous reluctance to help Lao Xia was partly due to my own selfish motives, but I've realized that if this climate doesn't change, my mom and sister, whom I want to save, will be trapped in it their entire lives, unable to break free. As long as I still have the desire to change their minds, then the awakening of the female comrades you want to see is also what I'm striving for.
But I still feel angry when you told me last time that my mother didn't love me but my identity as a son. You can't just assume that because there are so many people who favor sons over daughters, she might love me because I am her child.
Even if I wasn't the man, her kindness to me was genuine. I can't deny her love for me just because her love wasn't pure... According to your thinking, isn't all parental love pure? They only love you because you're their child, and they don't love you as a person at all."
Fang Yingdi was confused. Sometimes she was thinking about her angry words, and sometimes she was thinking about Jiang Wenhua's well-reasoned rebuttal. She laughed and said, "Comrade Xiao Jiang, I was really too picky about what I said to you last time.
Influenced by my family at the time, I stubbornly refused to acknowledge your mother's love for you. Perhaps it was jealousy, or perhaps it was a feeling of unfairness, because I had never received such love. Actually, you're right. Love is love. Many of your mother's actions were for you, because she loved you.
"All that nonsense about loving someone because of their gender is just untenable, and I'm sorry. I've seen so many families lately: some love their children, some only care about themselves, some love both their children, and some favor sons over daughters. Those happy families warm my heart, even as an outsider. But those turbulent ones, when you step into them, you feel a coldness in the hearts of each person..."
During this period, the two reflected on their own shortcomings, shared changes in their work and thinking, and understood more clearly that all loving relationships are precious and cannot be sought after.
The atmosphere was just right, and Jiang Wenhua suddenly grabbed Fang Yingdi's hand. "Comrade Fang, although it may be a bit abrupt, I want to ask you solemnly, are you willing to be my partner? Let's walk the road together, manage our own little family together, and work side by side for the country and society."
Jiang Wenhua looked at her with bright eyes, his heart pounding. He was very nervous, but at this moment, he was so impulsive that he wanted to go on with Comrade Fang Yingdi.
Fang Yingdi was stunned by the sudden proposal. He said this directly when they just met after they broke up?
Her face was redder than the sunset in the evening.
