Chapter 180: Flattery
When I learned that Jiang Haitang actually had two jobs, the fire of jealousy instantly burned in my heart. Why was she so lucky?
Li Qiulan couldn't wait to run home and pushed open the door panting.
Wu Xiuyun was sitting on the bed bored, looking at her fingers carefully.
Seeing Li Qiulan rushing in, she casually asked, "Why are you running so fast?"
"Mom, I heard a piece of news..." Li Qiulan didn't even have time to catch her breath. She blurted out all the news she heard in a burst of voice, and couldn't help but angrily scold Jiang Haitang.
Wu Xiuyun's eyes turned, and she immediately came up with a plan. She said sinisterly, "That would be even better."
"What's good about that, mother? Are you confused?"
"Since she's so promising, you should let your brother marry Jiang Haitang. Two jobs, one for you and one for your brother. If your second brother comes back, give your brother's job to him. If he doesn't come back, you can just sell it for money."
Although she had just arrived at the textile factory and rarely communicated with outsiders, she knew that work indicators could be sold for money.
I heard that a regular job can be sold for a thousand yuan, which is a huge sum of money.
"But I'm not old enough!" Li Qiulan said with a worried look on her face, "I still have to wait for many years."
Wu Xiuyun pondered for a moment and said, "Then let her do it first. I'll transfer it to you when you grow up."
Wu Xiuyun and Li Qiulan seemed to have forgotten that Jiang Haitang's work had nothing to do with them.
The mother and daughter were discussing something in the room so heatedly that they didn't even close the door.
Someone happened to pass by the door and heard this selfish and greedy conversation clearly.
The man was angry and hateful, and couldn't help but spit at Li Shengli's dormitory door, secretly standing up for Jiang Haitang.
Jiang Haitang was not in the textile factory at this time. She went to the machinery factory early in the morning to pay attention to the production progress of the sock weaving machines, especially the machine that Wang Liangcai was responsible for repairing.
By the time she finished her work and returned to the textile factory, it was already afternoon.
As soon as she walked into the office, she saw Li Qiulan walking in with a smile on her face.
Looking at Li Qiulan's hypocritical look, Jiang Haitang couldn't help but frown.
"Sister-in-law..." Li Qiulan just opened her mouth when she was interrupted coldly by Jiang Haitang.
"Stop, Li Qiulan, I'm not your sister-in-law. Your sister-in-law is Liang Suya. Don't call her the wrong way." Jiang Haitang said in a distant tone, his eyes full of vigilance.
Li Qiulan felt so angry that her teeth were itching, but when she thought of her own purpose, she could only suppress her dissatisfaction and force a smile on her face that was uglier than crying.
"Sister Haitang, don't bother with me. I said something wrong. I'm used to it." Li Qiulan spoke in the same way she used to act coquettishly to Jiang Haitang.
Jiang Haitang looked at Li Qiulan's deliberately flattering smile, and alarm bells rang in her heart.
Li Qiulan was still young at the moment, and her thoughts were written on her face. How could the calculation in her eyes escape Jiang Haitang's eyes?
She calmly arranged the drawings on the table and said lightly, "Just say it if you have something to say."
Li Qiulan twisted the corner of her clothes and rolled her eyes. "Sister Haitang, I heard that the machinery factory is developing new machines. Can you...take me with you? I also want to learn some technology. Sister Haitang, you loved me the most in the past. You definitely wouldn't reject me, right?"
She deliberately softened her voice, adding just the right amount of coquettishness.
Jiang Haitang paused what he was doing when he heard this.
She looked up at Li Qiulan, her eyes sharp as a knife, clearly seeing the greed that flashed across her eyes.
"How old are you? How can I take care of you? Besides, what's your relationship with me? Are you an employee of the factory? Why should I take care of you?"
Her tone was neither hot nor cold, directly shutting down the topic.
Li Qiulan bit her lip and wanted to say something, but she saw that Jiang Haitang had lowered his head to continue looking at the drawings, and looked like he didn't want to talk anymore.
She had no choice but to leave in displeasure, and before leaving she did not forget to glare at Jiang Haitang's back.
Bitch, she didn't even give her any face. Just wait, when her brother succeeds, she will torture Jiang Haitang and let her know who is the better king.
Jiang Haitang looked at Li Qiulan's departing back and sighed softly. The Li family was indeed uneasy again!
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the door.
An office clerk leaned in halfway and said, "Mr. Jiang, Director Lu wants you to come to his office. He said it's about the Canton Fair."
Jiang Haitang responded, quickly put the drawings in order, locked the door, and walked towards the factory director's office.
When I opened the door, I saw Lu Liangchen and Secretary Tan discussing something in front of a spread-out floor plan of the Canton Fair venue.
"Xiao Jiang is here, come over here quickly." Lu Liangchen beckoned her over, "We are discussing the booth layout. You are smart and have many ideas, come and give us some advice."
Jiang Haitang walked to the table and quickly scanned the drawing. This drawing was similar to the one she gave Lu Liangchen last night.
"Is this the latest booth arrangement map?" Jiang Haitang asked.
"Almost." Lu Liangchen nodded.
"I think we can place the products from our newly established wool sweater workshop here. After all, our new equipment and advanced craftsmanship are our strengths." She paused and added, "As for the traditional fabric exhibition area, we can set up a technology display corner. Our factory has previously had problems with low color fastness, so we will showcase our improved color fastness testing process to let foreign investors more directly see our progress."
Secretary Tan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "That's a good idea! But will the technology demonstration involve confidentiality issues?"
"We can showcase only some non-core processes and highlight our achievements," Jiang Haitang explained. "Furthermore, the international market is increasingly demanding on environmental protection and quality. This kind of display can actually increase our competitiveness."
Lu Liangchen nodded repeatedly. "Okay, Haitang, this matter may require your attention. I will arrange for Han Zhiqiu and Kang Xiaoxia to fully cooperate with your work."
Jiang Haitang smiled faintly and glared at Lu Liangchen. Lu Liangchen looked at her and couldn't help but smile.
"I have no choice. If there were anyone useful in the factory, I would not let you work so hard. But don't worry, we will definitely have the right person next time."
Jiang Haitang was stunned for a moment, knowing that Lu Liangchen had seen through her thoughts, she smiled and replied, "Director Lu, please rest assured. I promise to complete the task!"
Secretary Tan couldn't help but smile brightly as he watched the interaction between the two people.
"This conversation between you two is really interesting."
After coming out of the factory director's office, Jiang Haitang suddenly wanted to go and see the production situation in the wool sweater workshop.
As she reached the door, she heard a quarrel coming from inside.
"The collar seams of this batch of wool sweaters are irregular and need to be reworked!" A man's voice sounded, a little unfamiliar.
"Rework? Do you know how much time and materials this will waste?" A familiar female voice rang out. "The deadline is so tight now, we must speed up production!"
Jiang Haitang pushed the door open and saw a young comrade holding a woolen sweater and arguing with a female worker in the workshop with a red face and thick neck.
"If the quality is not up to standard, what's the point of completing it on time? Will we be laughed at by others? If you exhibit such a product at the Canton Fair, I don't think it will even leave our Jincheng."
The female worker was about to retort, but when she saw Jiang Haitang come in, her tone softened a little: "Mr. Jiang, please judge for yourself. If we have to rework this batch of goods, it will definitely affect our production. The department store has ordered a batch of sweaters, and we are working overtime to produce them."
Jiang Haitang took the wool sweater from the quality inspector and examined it carefully.
"The quality inspector is right. No matter how tight the deadline is, quality must be guaranteed. Our factory has just started producing wool sweaters. If there are any quality problems, it will damage our reputation."
"We really don't dare bring such products to the Canton Fair. After all, the Canton Fair is an important opportunity to showcase our factory's strength, and we absolutely cannot be vague."
The female workers originally thought that Jiang Haitang would definitely support them, but unexpectedly, Jiang Haitang did not give them any justice at all.
"Comrade, you've done a great job. We need quality inspectors like you!"
The quality inspector touched his head sheepishly and said, "This is what I should do. I don't deserve any praise."
When Zhang Qiaohong came back, Jiang Haitang had just finished speaking. She looked at the dissatisfied expressions of the textile workers and looked at Jiang Haitang in confusion.
Jiang Haitang recounted the entire story: "Comrade Zhang Qiaohong, you're a veteran in our factory and have always been conscientious and responsible in your work. From now on, you must strengthen quality control. You can't ruin the reputation of our sweaters just for the sake of speed."
"Especially in a few days, another batch of jacquard machines will be delivered. By then, the training of female workers must be in place to ensure that every garment is completed with guaranteed quality and quantity."
Zhang Qiaohong said to Jiang Haitang very embarrassedly, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, I understand. I will definitely do a good job of supervision in the future."
Jiang Haitang didn't say anything more and turned and left.
Zhang Qiaohong scolded several female workers who were perfunctory in their work and made it clear that if they did not work hard again, they would be transferred to other positions.
After hearing this, the expressions of several female workers instantly turned bad.
Of all the workshops in the textile factory, theirs is the most prosperous. If they were to be moved out, they would be too embarrassed to face anyone.
No, I have to work hard from now on and not let anyone catch me in the act again.
