The textile factory was bustling with activity after the start of the year.
Building houses, making clothes in the service department, and even the factory's technology innovation award program—all of these were fully implemented.
The entire textile factory was filled with a spirit of high morale and great enthusiasm.
The commotion at the textile factory naturally attracted the attention of the municipal party committee.
Since last year, Jiangdong Textile Factory has been thriving, with all sorts of new ideas emerging one after another.
The key point is that it actually worked. The production figures submitted at the end of the year did show a certain increase.
Although it's not a huge improvement, any progress is a good thing.
What does the country lack right now? It lacks supplies. Supplies are produced by workers. Only when workers are more efficient can more supplies be produced.
After the start of the year, when the municipal party committee went to inspect various factories, they also included Jiangdong Textile Factory as a target for inspection.
Upon receiving the notification, Director Gao was overjoyed and immediately rushed to the trade union.
He's gotten into the habit of consulting with the union on important matters.
"Here to conduct an inspection?"
Chairman Sun beamed with pride, “It’s all thanks to the excellent work done by our union. Old Gao, it’s not that I didn’t help you, even Su gave you advice, but you still haven’t gotten this done. Your efficiency is just not good. If we relied on your factory committee, we wouldn’t have been able to get anything done last year. We leaders must have the guts.”
These words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing Director Gao's enthusiasm. He regretted coming to the union; it was practically handing himself over to Old Sun, his father, for a beating.
He simply looked at Su Yu, who was reading a book, and asked, "Su, what are your thoughts?"
Su Yu raised her head and said, "Factory Director, I think when the leaders come to inspect, we should just continue doing what we're doing as usual. There's no need to make a scene. After all, the production tasks are heavy. If we can still spare the time to welcome the leaders, they'll probably want to add more responsibilities."
Chairman Sun nodded, "That's right, Su is right."
Factory Director Gao said, "We can't just do nothing."
Su Yu said, "How about this, we arrange the monthly skills competition on the day the leaders come, so that the leaders can see the skills demonstration of our factory workers."
Chairman Sun continued to nod, "Su's method is good."
Factory Director Gao rolled his eyes at him and said to Su Yu, "...Alright, I'll announce it to the lower levels later. Su, you should also help coordinate things on your end. The situation is urgent."
Su Yu glanced at Chairman Sun, who nodded slightly while sipping his tea. Su Yu said earnestly, "Okay, I will fully cooperate with the factory's work."
The municipal party committee's inspection team started at the coal yard, then the iron mine, then the transportation company, and spent the most time at the steel plant, which is a key unit of the province.
Along the way, several municipal leaders expressed satisfaction with the development of these units, their faces beaming with smiles.
Several secretaries accompanying the municipal party committee members were also diligently taking notes.
At the steel mill, Secretary Zhou spotted Secretary Song in the crowd from afar.
Seeing that the leaders had gone to talk to each other, he took the opportunity to go over and whisper to Secretary Song, "Secretary Song, when do you have time to get together? It's been a while since we've had a get-together."
Secretary Song glanced at him. "No time. Very busy at the beginning of the year."
"Oh, Secretary Song, you still need to eat, no matter how busy you are. We're all waiting for you."
"No, I'm not going." Secretary Song said firmly. "I'm really busy with work, maybe next time."
Seeing Secretary Song's attitude, Secretary Zhou started to wonder what he might have done to offend Secretary Song. Suddenly, he remembered their last meeting.
That was last year when we had a get-together with the textile factory.
Suddenly it dawned on him. No wonder Secretary Song had been ignoring him ever since that incident. It was because… oh dear, I should have realized it sooner. Secretary Song's behavior last time was strange. He'd had some suspicions, but hadn't thought about it too deeply. Now it seems it really was true.
He quickly said, "Secretary Song, don't misunderstand. I really didn't know you and Secretary Su were dating. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't do such a thing. It's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage."
"What?!" Secretary Song was slightly agitated, and the secretary next to him looked up at him.
He squeezed through the crowd and said to Secretary Zhou beside him, "What were you talking about? When did I start dating... that Comrade Su?"
Secretary Zhou looked at him strangely, "Secretary Song, why are you still hiding this from me? If you weren't dating Secretary Su, why would you be angry with me because of Captain Li?"
"..." Secretary Song's mind went blank for a moment, and she frowned to hide her nervousness. "Don't be ridiculous, it's not because of that. It's because..."
Secretary Zhou asked suspiciously, "You're not angry because you know Captain Li wants to date Secretary Su?"
"..." Secretary Song frowned deeply. "Anyway, don't be blind. That's not the reason."
Secretary Zhou looked incredulous and muttered, "Honestly, this kind of thing is normal. We don't know anything about it, so there's no need to hide it. Although Secretary Su is a few years older, she is indeed quite well-off. Captain Li thinks she's a good match."
Secretary Song pursed her lips tightly. "Alright, Comrade Zhou Baoguo. Let's eat next time. This is working time, so be serious."
Secretary Zhou asked, "So you're not angry anymore?"
Secretary Song smiled. "I've never been angry. When did I get angry? You're the one making wild guesses. Alright, I'm really busy next time we eat."
