There was constant speculation from the outside world, saying that Chen Qing was too ruthless and showed no regard for past feelings.
For a woman to be so ruthless is going too far.
Her move was utterly ruthless!
Despite the numerous internal rumors, Chen Qing proceeded with her work methodically. The Shengxia Garment Factory needed an internal reform, and she held numerous meetings to coordinate the work between various departments.
Knock knock knock—
Chen Qing was arranging the division of labor among the staff of the magazine when Secretary Zhang knocked on the door.
Chen Qing stopped what she was doing and asked, "What's wrong?"
Secretary Zhang stepped forward and whispered to Chen Qing, "Factory Director, Minister Lian's secretary informed me that there is important news for you in half an hour."
"Alright," Chen Qing said to the people at the meeting, "then let's speed up the process."
After the meeting, Chen Qing returned to his office to answer a phone call.
Minister Lian informed me: "Our Director of the Consumer Goods Industry has applied to retire in six months, and I would like you to take over the position."
Based on specific job titles, Chen Qing's current position is no different from that of a director.
However, Chen Qing wields considerable real power, and it's uncertain whether the title of director would be good or bad if he went to the capital.
Chen Qing was somewhat conflicted. She had always thought she would directly become Minister Lian's subordinate for a few years to gain experience, but she didn't expect to be assigned to the Consumer Goods Industry Department: "I don't know much about this area, so I may not be able to do it well."
“We all believe in you. The news may be a bit unexpected, but this is an important department under my command, in charge of our country’s standard setting, technological transformation, and material allocation. We are currently in a period of reform and opening up, which is a great time for you to make your mark.”
After much deliberation, Lian Zhenghao felt that this position was very suitable for Chen Qing's debut in the capital.
Chen Qing rubbed her forehead, asking weakly, "Has it been decided yet?"
Minister Lian paused for two seconds before replying, "Most likely."
Chen Qing rubbed his face: "Okay, I'll take some time to learn more about it and make proper arrangements for the garment factory."
Minister Lian acknowledged: "The garment factory needs to make proper arrangements. Your position is special, so we won't parachute in another factory manager to replace you. As long as you recommend a factory manager, I can guarantee that they can take office smoothly. I hope you can conduct a thorough evaluation, and I hope that your Shengxia Factory can always be the most eye-catching brand in the light industry."
After the two hung up the phone, Chen Qing sat alone in the garment factory, feeling empty inside.
She had expected to be transferred, but the news came so quickly that she was a little dazed.
After sitting there for a long time, Chen Qing walked to the window and watched the sun set, the entire horizon dyed orange-red, and the sunset gradually disappearing into the sky.
Chen Qing said softly, "I'm going home now."
On her way home from the factory, Chen Qing felt reluctant to leave. She had poured so much effort into the garment factory, and now that she was about to leave for another place, she didn't know what would happen to it. Would it be eliminated in the wave of reform and opening up, or would it stand strong, or would it slowly fade away? Perhaps all of these were possible. But no matter what, she and Shengxia Factory had created their own glorious memories together.
Chen Qing walked to the factory gate and stared intently at the gleaming signboard of "Shengxia Garment Factory".
"Factory manager... Factory manager, what's wrong?" the security guard shouted.
Chen Qing snapped out of his reverie and smiled, "The sanitation is quite good."
Upon hearing this, the security personnel proudly puffed out their chests: "Of course! The signboard is our face, and we maintain it regularly."
Chen Qingchao smiled, turned around and went home.
When they got home, Xiaoyu was chopping firewood, and Pingping helped her arrange the wood.
Chen Qing asked, "Where's Youyou?"
Xiaoyu laughed heartily: "He planned a picnic, but his friend stole peanuts from a fellow villager and got chased all over the mountain. When he got home, he took a shower and was so tired that he fell asleep right away."
Chen Qing felt embarrassed; this was truly an age where everyone and even dogs disliked him. "What are we having for dinner?"
"Aunt Feng made fish balls. The fish was sent by Grandpa Wang Wenming. Wang Wenming has made a lot of money recently, and the old couple has some free time, so they went fishing."
"Is Wang Wenming a reseller?"
"Yes, I ran into him a while ago and we chatted. He earns a lot, at least more than Dwarf Tiger. However, he always brings his brothers and sisters along to work together. Everyone wants to split the money equally, but Wang Wenming isn't too happy about it, and that caused some conflict."
Xiaoyu felt that dividing money among siblings was too difficult.
Chen Qing: "Have you invested in your brother? Take a look at his bills when you have time."
“He wouldn’t let her see it. Sister Xiaohe invested 100,000 yuan and wanted to see the bills, but he wouldn’t agree. The two even had a big fight.”
Xiaoyu felt a little embarrassed. Her brother was really shameless, making her lose face in front of her sister Xiaohe.
"Why is he like this...?"
Chen Qing also felt ashamed.
But He Yuxiang didn't feel ashamed. Being scolded was worth it if it meant he wouldn't have to show Yang Yihe the account books.
Because he lost money...
My aunt's business was booming, but she was cheated out of a batch of materials worth 270,000 yuan. On the surface, it was the materials she needed, but it turned out to be filled with mud, sand, and stones. When she tried to find the person responsible, they had all gone abroad.
He was furious.
But there's no way to investigate these kinds of things, so you can only suffer in silence.
The money is gone.
We can't afford to lose face again.
He Yuxiang took this as a warning and carefully checked the materials, but his aunt and uncle both ordered him to go home to sleep before midnight, so he could only finish work at 11:30.
When he got home, the house was usually dark, but today the study was lit. He Yuxiang went to take a look and found his aunt writing something. He knocked on the window and asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Chen Qing looked up at him and said, "I'll wait for you."
"right."
"What are you waiting for me for?"
"I'll be starting work in the capital after the new year. Pingping and Youyou will be transferring schools then, and Xiaoyu will also be in the capital. So, what about you..."
Chen Qing paused for a moment.
He Yuxiang's face fell completely. If he wanted to do business, Guangdong Province was the best and only choice.
Chen Qing pursed her lips: "There are still six months left. Prepare well. Actually, I've been very generous, haven't I? I didn't even tell your uncle about moving to the capital. I told you first. Isn't that great?"
He Yuxiang tilted his head, revealing his taut jawline.
"Don't be angry."
"I'm not angry."
"You're in this state..."
Chen Qingxue's arrogant and disdainful gaze.
He Yuxiang glanced at it and said speechlessly, "I'm not that ugly."
Chen Qing: "..."
have a look.
Children shouldn't be spoiled.
I always feel like beating him up.
He Yuxiang stared at her intently: "What about the garment factory? Are we just going to abandon it? What if the garment factory becomes the next machine factory? Will there be another you to save it?"
From a very young age, his aunt has devoted most of her attention to the garment factory. Now that she is leaving, is she really willing to let him go?
After a moment of silence, Chen Qing replied, "There are gains and losses." (End of Chapter)
