"Alright, goodbye." Secretary Song turned the car around and drove off with a flourish, leaving without a trace of regret.
Su Yu turned and left. She wondered if she should learn to ride a bicycle when she got back. After all, communication methods were too outdated at the moment, and she couldn't always rely on a driver.
But when she thought about how many times Su Dazhi had fallen while learning to drive, she felt somewhat unhappy.
What if you fall and get hurt? It's not a big deal if the bike crashes, but it's a huge loss if you get hurt!
Suddenly, I heard the sound of a bicycle behind me.
She turned around and saw that it was Secretary Song again.
"Secretary Song, why are you back again?"
Secretary Song said seriously, "I suddenly remembered that I need to go to the textile factory this afternoon to see how your newly established department is doing. Get in the car, I'll give you a ride there on the way."
"……oh."
Su Yu quickly climbed into the car. Why not take a ride if it's free?
When Su Yu returned to the factory, everyone she met, starting from the main gate, addressed her as Director Su.
Secretary Song asked, "You got promoted?"
Su Yu said seriously, "This is a responsibility that the factory leaders gave me. The position is not important; what's important is the opportunity to contribute to the factory."
Secretary Song looked at her suspiciously, then parked her bicycle at the door and asked her to take her to the new department to take a look.
People weren't at work yet; only a few were arriving at the factory one after another. The workers from the new department hadn't arrived either. But I did see Director Tian… oh, Deputy Director Tian.
Deputy Director Tian was carefully inspecting the finished garments, afraid that even the slightest problem might damage the reputation of the new department.
Seeing Su Yu arrive, she quickly ran over, "Director Su, you're back!"
"Yes, I came back as soon as I finished up there. By the way, this is Secretary Song from the Municipal Party Committee. He came here to inspect the new department."
Deputy Director Tian immediately looked at Secretary Song nervously.
Secretary Song glanced around a couple of times. "Is there any difficulty?"
Deputy Director Tian said nervously, "No, there are no difficulties. Under the leadership of our Director Su, everything is going smoothly."
Su Yu said, "No, it was under the wise guidance of our Secretary Song that we were able to overcome the difficulties in the early stages and carry out our work smoothly."
Deputy Director Tian: "..." No wonder Director Su climbed so fast.
Secretary Song: "..." Nonsense!
After a quick glance, Secretary Song decided to leave.
Su Yu and Deputy Director Tian saw him out together. Su Yu said, "Secretary Song, you are welcome to visit the factory often to provide guidance."
Secretary Song got on his bike and said, "See you next year."
Then he rode away without looking back.
I pedaled harder and harder, slamming my foot down on the bike in frustration. I was incredibly annoyed, feeling like I'd lost my mind. How could I have made up an excuse to give that woman a ride back! She came and didn't want to leave—what a nutcase!
After Secretary Song left, Su Yu gave Deputy Director Tian some encouragement, "Tian, you did a great job. That's how you should be proactive at work. Look how proactive you were today; the city leaders saw you. That's your reward."
Deputy Director Tian was quite excited and happy at this moment, and he wholeheartedly agreed with Su Yu's words. If he hadn't happened to arrive early for work at noon, how could he have run into the municipal party committee leaders?
Su Yu said, "Keep working and make sure you manage the new department well. Put in more effort and thought. It will definitely pay off in the future. I'll leave things here to you this afternoon and give you complete authority."
Deputy Director Tian nodded, moved.
Su Yu smiled with satisfaction, "By the way, Tian, could you help me prepare some clothes later? I need to buy a few pieces. Some of the other factories have asked me for help. I should help them out; building good relationships will be beneficial for our department in terms of market share in the future."
"Okay, I'll pick out the good ones later."
As a seasoned veteran in the factory, Deputy Director Tian was naturally aware of the ins and outs. However, she didn't intend to say much. Su Yu had been kind to her and helped her so much, so naturally she should reciprocate in kind. Besides, once this department took off, Su Yu would be the boss.
After getting off work in the afternoon, Su Yu carried a few pieces of clothing home.
Su Dazhi was already waiting at the door with his bicycle. Seeing Su Yu come out, he quickly pushed his bike over to meet her. He helped her with her bag, then pushed the bike in front of her so she could easily get on.
After Su Yu got on the bus, Su Dazhi rode his bicycle home.
On the way, he excitedly exclaimed, "Sis, you're the director now!"
The car swerved slightly. Startled, Su Yu grabbed the bike, shouting, "Calm down, calm down, it's not a big deal, don't fall!"
"Oh." Su Dazhi quickly steadied the car. "Sis, you've gone up."
"It's no big deal, nothing to be happy about."
Hearing Su Yu's tone, Su Dazhi was extremely envious.
How come you're so capable, sister?
Back home, Su Dazhi told Liu Mei and the others about Su Yu's promotion. Liu Mei and Su Lin both looked at their eldest sister with admiration.
Just as Su Lin was about to excitedly compliment her, she saw Su Yu take out a few pieces of clothing from her bag and throw them on the bed, saying, "Take these, take them, quickly exchange them for money and bring them back."
The two were immediately drawn to the new clothes, holding them up to themselves. However, neither was willing to try them on. These were new clothes, meant for someone else.
Su Lin asked, "Sister, is it possible to get a discount at your internal prices?"
"What's wrong? Did you betray your sister for the sake of outsiders?" Su Yu asked, displeased.
Su Lin quickly waved her hand, "No, no, well, I got the same price as them and the steel mill, so I was thinking if it were Bianyi..."
Su Yu immediately raised her eyebrows and looked at her.
Oh, you haven't noticed yet? There's an opportunist here.
How can you speculate like that? That won't do! All the speculation has been put on her.
She said sternly, "Students should just focus on their studies. Why think so much? Have I skimped on your food or your clothes?"
Su Lin: "..."
Su Yu sighed, "Fine, I'll give you a five-cent discount on each piece of clothing, that's my bottom line." Without profit, there's no way to motivate the sales staff.
Su Lin immediately rushed over and hugged her, "Sister, sister, you're so good to me!"
Liu Mei immediately leaned over and said, "Sister, what about me? Can I get a five-cent discount too?"
"Yes, Principal," Su Yu waved her hand generously, "We're family, after all."
Liu Mei immediately laughed.
