Wu Xiuping had been with Zhao Yunxiang the longest, and was considered a veteran employee at Yunyun Clothing. The previous incident had infuriated Wu Xiuping, and this time, she had made up her mind: if Zhao Yunxiang continued to blindly protect Ma Yulian, she would quit. While the salary wasn't low, Wu Xiuping couldn't handle the humiliation.
"Sister Wu, you did a good job. Last time, I was inconsiderate and caused you to suffer." Zhao Yunxiang was not a fool. After hearing what Wu Xiuping said and her determination to go all out, how could she not guess what Wu Xiuping was thinking?
Speaking of what happened last time, it was really Zhao Yunxiang's negligence.
When Zhao Yunxiang went to Ma Yulian to ask what happened, Ma Yulian first made a self-criticism, and then explained to Zhao Yunxiang that she did not know how to make clothes before, and in order to integrate into Yunyun's work as soon as possible, she went to the workshop to find a piece of cloth and took it home to practice tailoring skills. She did not want to take advantage of the factory.
Ma Yulian spoke with tears in her eyes, describing the hardships, difficulties, and heavy burdens her family faced. She also mentioned her "cousin" Hu Sanniang, saying that if Hu Sanniang were in Kyoto, she would definitely not let her life be so difficult.
The three words "Hu Sanniang" were Zhao Yunxiang's weakness. Zhao Yunxiang remembered that Hu Sanniang had never withdrawn a penny of the factory's profits over the years. Seeing that Ma Yulian was really willing to repent, she bought a piece of cloth with her own money and gave it to Ma Yulian to take home to "practice her skills."
Zhao Yunxiang never thought that Ma Yulian would actually brag about this matter in front of Wu Xiuping.
Wu Xiuping was Yunyun's factory manager, and her criticism of Ma Yulian was not wrong. Zhao Yunxiang giving Ma Yulian a bolt of cloth wasn't a big deal either. But the mistake was that the two events happened so quickly.
Wu Xiuping had just criticized Ma Yulian for a piece of cloth, and Ma Yulian turned around and boasted to Wu Xiuping about a piece of cloth Zhao Yunxiang had given her. How could this not be a slap in the face to Wu Xiuping? Ma Yulian's boasting led some workers to believe that Zhao Yunxiang was upset that Wu Xiuping had humiliated Ma Yulian. This, in turn, had a certain impact on Wu Xiuping's work.
Wu Xiuping had been feeling very discouraged these days. She also thought that Zhao Yunxiang had given Ma Yulian the cloth because she was dissatisfied with how she had treated her.
The most feared thing between people is suspicion. Wu Xiuping kept it to herself, and most people didn't want to get involved in the conflict between Wu and Ma. By the time Zhao Yunxiang found out, the incident had already hurt Wu Xiuping's pride.
Although Zhao Yunxiang was willing to take care of Ma Yulian because of Hu Sanniang's matter, she was not stupid after all and would not let Ma Yulian mess up Yunyun's life. Wu Xiuping was Zhao Yunxiang's right-hand man, so in order to reassure her, Zhao Yunxiang felt that she should apologize to Wu Xiuping.
"Mr. Zhao, this is my duty and I don't deserve your praise. I thought you would criticize me for offending Assistant Ma!" Wu Xiuping felt a little embarrassed, both for her own pettiness and for Zhao Yunxiang's magnanimity.
"Sister Wu, I know everyone thinks I'm too indulgent to Sister Ma, but Sister Ma's cousin has been kind to me. If it weren't for Sister Hu, Yunyun would never have been able to grow to its current size. Sister Hu has been away all these years, and I can only take care of Sister Ma more to repay Sister Hu a little..." Zhao Yunxiang felt melancholy when she talked about Hu Sanniang.
When Zhao Yunxiang first arrived in Jingyang, she never imagined she'd have the fortitude to build such a large company. It was Hu Sanniang who selflessly shared her skills with her, and it was Hu Sanniang who taught her along the way to face everything with confidence. One should always remember where the water came from. Without Hu Sanniang's help, how could Zhao Yunxiang have become the confident and exuberant person she is today?
Although Ma Yulian had been acting a bit unruly recently, Zhao Yunxiang had tolerated her behavior for Hu Sanniang's sake. This branch manager position was Zhao Yunxiang's last chance for Ma Yulian.
"Yes, Mr. Zhao, you're a kindhearted person." Wu Xiuping felt her frustration dissipate after she spoke with Zhao Yunxiang. It was a good thing that Zhao Yunxiang was still thinking about their past. She was taking care of her cousin for Hu Sanniang, so those of them who had been following her from the beginning wouldn't be far behind in the future, right? Even now, Wu Xiuping's salary was among the best in her industry.
"Sister Wu, thank you for your contribution to the factory. I will find time to deal with the matter of Ma Yulian's fraudulent goods." Zhao Yunxiang felt relieved when she saw Wu Xiuping's face return to normal.
Zhao Yunxiang has witnessed and cherished Wu Xiuping's dedication to the factory over the years. If Wu Xiuping is willing, Zhao Yunxiang hopes to continue working hand in hand with these sisters. After all, starting a business is difficult, and maintaining it is even more difficult. Having the help of veteran employees like Wu Xiuping would make things easier for Zhao Yunxiang.
"This is what I should do, and I don't deserve Mr. Zhao's thanks. By the way, Mr. Zhao, I've seen the approval slip, and the signature is indeed yours, and the seal on the signature is also yours. Do you think your office needs..." When Wu Xiuping heard Zhao Yunxiang say the word "scam," she knew Ma Yulian had hit a wall. Wanting to return the favor, Wu Xiuping reminded Zhao Yunxiang to be careful with her personal belongings.
Wu Xiuping hadn't slept well the previous night, and she spent the entire night lying in bed thinking about this strange "approval slip." The thought of it really gave her a fright.
"Sister Wu, thank you for reminding me. I know what's going on now." Zhao Yunxiang smiled bitterly. That's right! Putting all these things together, the answer was obvious.
Ma Yulian had pestered Zhao Yunxiang to sign her autograph a week ago. Ma Yulian explained that she would be working at the Yunyun flagship store soon, meaning she wouldn't have much time to return to the factory and wouldn't see Zhao Yunxiang much. Therefore, Ma Yulian wanted Zhao Yunxiang to sign it for her, as a way of keeping a memory.
Zhao Yunxiang didn't think much of it at the time. In a fit of rage, she signed "Zhao Yunxiang" on a blank piece of paper and gave it to Ma Yulian. Unexpectedly, Ma Yulian was so scheming as to use her signature to forge a delivery receipt. As for her personal seal, Zhao Yunxiang kept one in her office. Ma Yulian, the assistant to the general manager, had the key to her office. It's likely that Ma Yulian had forged the delivery receipt and then stolen the seal to stamp it herself.
What was going on? If it weren't for Sister Hu, she would definitely go after Ma Yulian!
Zhao Yunxiang sighed for a moment, her mind already made up. Ma Yulian had done something like this; she definitely couldn't stay at Yunyun anymore. Otherwise, how could Yunyun's rules and regulations be enforced? Fortunately, Wu Xiuping and Li Cangguan were alert, otherwise, Ma Yulian would have succeeded.
