Wu Huaiqing pushed up his glasses and smiled at Zhou Qiang, saying, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, Director Zhou. You've gone to so much trouble to get rid of me just to get the purchasing manager position, haven't you? Don't worry, I definitely won't let you have your way. I'm taking this manager's position."
"Wu Huaiqing, are you determined to take the purchasing manager position from me?"
Zhou Qiang's face was grim. He had just said that Wu Huaiqing couldn't escape, but he was proven wrong. He was seething with anger.
Wu Huaiqing smirked, "When did the position of purchasing manager ever come with your name, Zhou Qiang? Just call it. If it responds, I won't fight for the position."
Yu Yao and Fang Qiaoqiao, who were standing nearby, burst out laughing when they heard him retort.
This was the first time Yu Yao had ever seen Wu Huaiqing argue with someone. Seeing his serious demeanor, she thought he would be serious when he argued, but she never expected him to tell jokes and make sarcastic remarks.
Fang Qiaoqiao thought Comrade Wu was extremely domineering at this moment, and chimed in from the side: "Director Zhou, you are so capable, why don't you shout it out? Maybe it will really respond."
Wu Huaiqing glanced at her in surprise, not expecting Fang Qiaoqiao to speak up for him.
Yu Yao watched the exchange between the two and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile.
It seems we don't need her to take action.
When Fang Qiaoqiao spoke, Zhou Qiang's momentum weakened, not daring to offend the factory director's sister-in-law. "Don't be so smug. The final result is not yet out. Who wins and who loses is still unknown. The one who laughs last is the winner."
"Is that so? Then congratulations in advance to Director Zhou on being eliminated." Wu Huaiqing's gentle demeanor did not mean he would not retaliate.
People passing by were talking about it.
"See that? That's Zhou Qiang from the purchasing department. I heard that he's the one who framed Director Wu this time."
"I never imagined that his approachable demeanor was all an act. He would resort to any means to get the purchasing manager position. How can someone like that be a purchasing manager? I will not vote for him."
“I won’t vote for him either. If I’m going to vote for someone, I’ll vote for Director Wu. He’s capable and has a good temperament. He’s much better than that Director Zhou.”
At this moment, a worker ran out of the Revolutionary Committee office and said to Zhou Qiang, "Director Zhou, the Deputy Director wants to see you."
When Zhou Qiang heard the Revolutionary Committee director call him, his heart tightened. "I'll go right away."
Seeing that Zhou Qiang had been called away, Wu Huaiqing said to Yu Yao and Fang Qiaoqiao, "Let's leave too."
"good."
Wu Huaiqing spent a day at the Revolutionary Committee. Although he didn't suffer physically, he was mentally tortured and looked somewhat tired.
The factory gave him a day off so he could go home and rest.
Yu Yao and Fang Qiaoqiao had also taken leave, so they left the factory together.
As for Su Yu, after signing the guarantee at the Revolutionary Committee, Yu Yao had Fang Qiaoqiao give her the address of Wu De's hometown.
What she does after she gets the address is none of Yu Yao's business.
The three of them pushed their bicycles out.
Wu Huaiqing glanced at Fang Qiaoqiao and said with a smile, "Comrade Fang, Yu Yao told me everything about this. Thank you for your help!"
Fang Qiaoqiao smoothed her hair, a little embarrassed. "Comrade Wu, you're too kind. Yu Yao and I are friends, and you're Yu Yao's brother, so it's only right that I help you."
"Anyway, you helped me, and I should express my gratitude. If you don't mind, I'll treat you to dinner at the state-run restaurant later."
He had barely finished speaking when he heard Fang Qiaoqiao say, "I don't mind."
Wu Huaiqing paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Alright, I'll have Yu Yao call you later."
Fang Qiaoqiao hummed in agreement.
Watching the interaction between the two, Yu Yao felt that they were a perfect match, one serious and refined, the other lively and playful.
Yu Yao wasn't the only one who felt this way; Wu Wanying did too.
Wu Wanying had just returned from school when she heard her neighbor talking about Wu Huaiqing, and she rushed to the factory immediately.
When she arrived, Yu Yao and the others were just leaving the factory.
When Wu Wanying saw Wu Huaiqing, she rushed over and checked him over. Seeing that he was not injured, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"You scared me to death, child! I heard from Aunt Chunhua that the Su family attacked the factory and you were taken away by the Revolutionary Committee for investigation? Are you alright?"
Wu Huaiqing took Wu Wanying's hand and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I'm fine. It's just a misunderstanding."
"Is it really a misunderstanding?" Wu Wanying was afraid that he would only report the good news and not the bad, so she hurriedly asked them what exactly happened.
Yu Yao and Wu Huaiqing didn't hide anything. Anyway, the factory's broadcast would clarify the matter soon, and even if they didn't tell Wu Wanying, she would find out from the broadcast.
After listening to the siblings' account, Wu Wanying was filled with anger. "The Su family is utterly despicable. They actually framed people without their consent. And that Su Yu, I used to think she was a good person, but I never expected her to be this kind of person."
At this point, Wu Wanying's gaze fell on Fang Qiaoqiao beside her, and she gave her a gentle smile:
"You must be Xiao Fang. I've heard Yu Yao mention you before, saying you're her best friend at the factory. Meeting you today, you really are a beautiful and outstanding woman. Thank you so much for this."
This was the first time Fang Qiaoqiao had been praised like this by an elder, especially one who had raised Wu Huaiqing. She was unusually shy and said, "Aunt Wu, I'm embarrassed by your praise."
“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about.” Wu Wanying glanced at her watch. “Comrade Xiao Fang, I was wondering if you have some time? Auntie would like to invite you to dinner as a way of thanking you. Is that alright?”
“This…” Fang Qiaoqiao looked at Wu Huaiqing, blushed and nodded.
