She was admitted to the No. 1 Textile Factory based on her own ability, so Zhang Jinmei was not worried about this at all.
What she was most worried about was whether her relationship with Fang Jiahai would bring her into trouble.
And what would happen if her son knew about this? ! Zhang Jinmei was very worried.
"Zhang Jinmei, please tell me the truth, is Fang Jiahai still giving you money regularly?"
Deputy Director Tang had seen all kinds of people, and he knew that there should be no problem with the process for this woman to enter the textile factory. So, he raised another question.
"I think they started giving it to me a few years ago, maybe once or twice a year. They gave me 100 or 200 yuan each time, saying it was compensation for my son. As for the rest, they have nothing left."
At this point, Zhang Jinmei had no idea how much the people in the Party Separation Committee knew, and she didn't dare to hide it.
In other words, Fang Jiahai gave his son no more than 400 yuan a year.
According to Fang Jiahai's salary, these three or four hundred yuan are only half of his annual salary, or even one-third of it.
Deputy Director Tang was very satisfied with Zhang Jinmei's attitude and cooperation, so he nodded.
"Do you still have that kind of relationship?!"
This sentence made Zhang Jinmei's expression become extremely ugly and indignant.
"How is that possible?! Ever since you abandoned me and my child, I have no relationship with you anymore. For both survival and the sake of my child, I don't even want your money. After you married someone else, you never looked for me and my mother, and we moved far away to avoid people we knew. Later, I joined a textile factory and got married through someone's introduction."
"It was also because I joined the textile factory as a member of the association, and also because of the work, that she later knew that I was working here. However, we never contacted each other. It was only when my son went to school that she offered to give him some money, which was considered as the cost of raising and tuition for my son."
"After all, I've remarried, have a husband and a son, and don't want to have any contact with you. So every time you give me money, you have to send it through the post office. You can check these at the post office."
Zhang Jinmei is now extremely glad that she insisted on her decision at that time. She is no longer the naive girl she was back then. After so many years of hardship, she longs for a stable and quiet life.
Moreover, her current man treats her very well. Although both of them are married and have a child, her man is very good to her and devotes himself to the family. He is never a lazy shopkeeper, and all his income is handed over. He is also honest and has no bad habits.
She is also a very realistic person. Wouldn't it be hard to live a down-to-earth life with someone who is so kind to her and understands her needs? !
However, she did not refuse Fang Jiahai's money, not because she was greedy for money, but mainly because she was thinking about her son's family. She also heard that Fang Jiahai's wife only gave birth to a daughter and no son, and she could not give birth again.
Then, her son is the only son Fang Jiahai has in this life. Her son will have to provide for that person in his old age, so she thinks there is nothing wrong with taking his money.
Zhang Jinmei thought so and said so. She confessed completely and it was obvious that she was not lying.
Director Wei: “…”
Deputy Director Tang: “…”
Others: "..."
You can't say that what she did was wrong, but you can't say that it was right either. If we were Fang Jiahai, we would probably do the same.
"Deputy Director Tang, I still trust Zhang Jinmei. She has always had a good reputation in the factory. She is not the kind of person who takes advantage of others. She works diligently. Moreover, her affair happened before liberation. To put it bluntly, in that environment, everyone had their past. She didn't steal, rob, or commit crimes. It's not right to investigate her for things that happened before liberation."
"As for Zhang Jinmei accepting the money Fang Jiahai sent to his son, it was a voluntary act, as they are father and son. As Zhang Jinmei said, Fang Jiahai has a son now, and he has to rely on him for his old age and funeral. It's a retaliation. Moreover, there is no improper relationship between Zhang Jinmei and Fang Jiahai. Director Tang, I think Zhang Jinmei is not responsible for this matter. However, it is not right for her to accept the money sent by Fang Jiahai, and our factory will punish her for this. Director Tang, how do you think I should deal with it?!"
Although Director Wei did not agree with Fang Jiahai and Zhang Jinmei's approach, he was from the team and it was his responsibility to protect the women in the factory. Director Wei did not want Zhang Jinmei to be taken away by the cutting committee, as she would definitely be demoted in the end.
Zhang Jinmei was also extremely uneasy, and she looked at Director Wei with gratitude for speaking to her. At the same time, she felt angry and unwilling, because she had finally lived a peaceful life, but she didn't expect it to be broken by Fang Jiahai.
Deputy Director Tang didn't say anything. He placed his hands on his abdomen, and one hand kept hitting the other hand on the back.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. The office was completely silent and no one spoke.
At this time, Secretary Li finally came back, followed by five elderly people, three of whom were section chiefs and two were workshop directors, all of whom had been with the factory since its establishment.
"Director, I have found five comrades who are more advanced than Director Zhang in the factory."
Secretary Li brought five old people from the factory into the office and stood in the corner behind them.
Director Wei knew all these people, so he nodded to them, glanced at Deputy Director Tang, and said:
"This is Deputy Director Tang from the Commission for the Restructuring of the Textile Industry. Today we are here to learn how Zhang Jinmei entered the textile factory. Please tell Deputy Director Tang carefully about the situation at that time."
"Okay, I'll go first. Director Wei, Deputy Director Tang, I was a clerk in the personnel department back then, and I joined the factory a month earlier than Director Zhang. At that time, the factory recruited clerks only after taking an exam, and only those with the top scores in the exam could be recruited. I remember very clearly that Director Zhang took the first place in the exam."
The first person to come forward to testify to the situation was the current head of the Personnel Section. He had been working in the Personnel Section for many years and had just been promoted to section chief a few years ago, but he was a few years younger than Zhang Jinmei.
"Yes, we did have to take an exam to recruit secretaries, and the results would be posted after they came out. Secretary Zhang did pass the exam to get into our textile factory."
The first person to speak was the workshop director, who was about the same age as Zhang Jinmei. In fact, they were all young people when they entered the factory, so their ages were similar.
"That's right. Anyone who enters the office must first be literate, at least graduate from elementary school. Otherwise, how can you read documents and write reports?! How can you organize information?! You can't fool anyone about this. Everyone knows who is what. Zhang Jinmei got in through an exam."
At that time, everything was in ruins and all walks of life needed people. Anyone who could read would get a good job. If you had a degree, it would be even more amazing. As long as you had a clean background, almost every unit would be vying for you.
"I can also prove that Comrade Zhang Jinmei was admitted through examination. Everyone who entered the factory with her knows this."
"Yes, this cannot be faked. To work in an office, one must at least be literate. Zhang Jinmei has been doing a good job since she entered the factory, and her performance is also good. She does not fight or compete, otherwise she would not have stayed in the position of clerk for so long."
What the five people said was similar, and there was no possibility of collusion. Moreover, under the circumstances, these people had no reason to cover up for her.
Deputy Director Tang finally nodded under the gaze of Director Wei. It doesn't matter whether the things before liberation are investigated or not, and there is nothing wrong with the work, except that he accepted the money from Fang Jiahai.
But, this cannot be said to be wrong. Apart from the fact that they had a son, both parties were innocent.
Moreover, Director Wei had to give face to him. After thinking it over for a while, Deputy Director Tang made a decision.
"Director Wei, we have almost understood the situation. If everything Zhang Jinmei said is true, we will not interfere with the committee. It is up to you to decide how to deal with it in your factory."
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go first."
